Sovereign of Stars-Chapter 31 – Su Family, danger

The night air carried a faint chill.
Su Xin was alone in his residence, practicing his swordsmanship.
After completing a set of sword techniques, Su Xin felt a wave of comfort wash over him.
"Having mastered the first level of the secret technique, the initial stage of the Thunderfire Volume, my understanding of Concept Comprehension has greatly improved. If I were to challenge the second level of the Dragon-Seeking Tower again, I might still be defeated, but at least I could hold my ground against the guardian for a while," Su Xin mused with a faint smile.
But suddenly...
"Haha!!"
"You little brats of the Su Family, tonight marks the end of your clan!!"
As the long howl echoed throughout the Su Family estate, Su Xin's expression changed drastically.
"This is bad!"
Su Xin immediately leaped onto the roof and saw over a dozen figures rapidly approaching through the night sky.
Each of these figures exuded an incredibly terrifying aura.
They charged forward with unstoppable force, and the Su Family's guards were unable to stop them, nor did they dare to.
"They're all Void Shattering Realm experts!!"
Su Xin's heart trembled.
The Su Family only had two Void Shattering Realm experts, but now more than a dozen had come to attack at once.
And judging by their auras, most of these Void Shattering experts were far stronger than Zhao Tianlei, whom he had slain.
Boom! Boom!
Within the Su Family, two figures soared into the sky; they were the Su Family Patriarch, Su Baichen, and the Great Elder, Su Boyong.
However, faced with the dozen Void Shattering experts, Su Boyong didn't even dare to intercept them. A few of the Void Shattering experts split off, one engaging Su Boyong in battle, while two others began searching the Su Family grounds.
The rest... a complete squad of Winged Dragon Guards, including nine late-stage Void Shattering experts, a captain at the peak of the Void Shattering Realm, An Cang also at the peak, and Pang Shaoqing at the late stage.
A total of twelve people, all swarmed towards Su Baichen.
"Su Baichen!"
"Today, you will die!"
"The Su Family will be annihilated!"
An Cang's furious shout echoed across the sky.
"Father!"
Su Xin was filled with rage and despair, but before he could act...
"Whoosh!"
A signal arrow shot into the sky.
The numerous Pang Family experts who had been hiding outside the Su Family estate received the signal and immediately charged in from all directions.
At the edges of the Su Family estate, Pang Family members were climbing over walls and leaping across rooftops.
Moreover, within the Su Family estate, there were already some 'moles' planted by the Pang Family. As the signal arrow lit up, these moles also acted simultaneously, launching a frenzied slaughter against the Su Family members around them.
In an instant, the sounds of rage, fighting, and screams mixed together.
The entire Su Family was thrown into chaos.
"This is... a war of extermination!"
Su Xin's gaze was cold and terrifying.
He had thought that he was about to become a disciple of Heavenflame Palace, and with its protection, the Su Family would be safe and sound.
But before the special recruitment quota from Heavenflame Palace was even finalized, the Pang Family, which had been eyeing them covetously, along with the Situ Family behind them, had already made their move!
"Lihu!!"
A furious roar suddenly erupted from a courtyard not far away, and Su Xin, standing on the rooftop, immediately focused his gaze.
In the courtyard, several Su Family experts were rushing towards the front yard, but suddenly, one of the guests, who had reached the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, launched a sneak attack. Caught off guard, the Su Family experts were severely injured, with two of them dying on the spot.
The one who roared was Su Bohang, who had been ambushed by the guest and was now gravely injured and on the brink of death.
"Uncle Hang!"
Su Xin's eyes turned red, "Bastard!"
Boom!
Su Xin leaped into the courtyard.
The guest named Lihu was about to deliver a finishing blow to the gravely injured Su Bohang when he saw Su Xin charging at him.
"The young master of the Su Family?" Lihu's expression changed.
Although he was just a guest, he knew that a few days ago, Su Xin had single-handedly slain three peak Sea Transformation experts in Eastern City.
If he could kill peak Sea Transformation experts, what chance did someone like him, who was only at the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, have?
"You deserve to die!"
Su Xin had already drawn his sword.
The sword light was so fast that Lihu, merely at the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, couldn't possibly block it. In an instant, Su Xin had slain him.
"Su... Su Xin..." Su Bohang barely lifted his head to look at Su Xin, but then his head drooped, and he breathed his last.
"Uncle Hang!" Su Xin was heartbroken and was about to rush forward.
"Found him!"
Two figures landed on the rooftop of the courtyard, their cold gazes locking onto Su Xin.
"Void Shattering experts, and two of them?" Su Xin was secretly alarmed.
Earlier, he had seen that among the dozen Void Shattering experts who attacked, a few had split off, one was with the Great Elder, and two were searching the Su Family grounds, seemingly looking for something. Now it seemed these two were after him.
"To deal with someone at the initial stage of Sea Transformation like me, they actually sent two Void Shattering experts. They really think highly of me." Su Xin's gaze was icy.
In truth, the Situ Family thought even more highly of his father, Su Baichen.
After all, the entire Winged Dragon Guard squad, including An Cang and Pang Shaoqing, had gone to kill Su Baichen.
"Kill!"
The two Void Shattering experts from the Pang Family, knowing how great a threat Su Xin posed to them, didn't waste any words. They both unleashed their full strength, intending to kill Su Xin as quickly as possible.
One wielded a spear, while the other used a blood-red saber as thin as a cicada's wing.
Whoosh!
The spear shot forward like a venomous dragon, piercing through the air.
Swish!
The blood-red saber moved with incredible speed, aiming for Su Xin's throat.
Two Void Shattering experts attacking simultaneously could easily kill even a genius who had passed the first level of the Dragon-Seeking Tower.
They were confident.
But the result...
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as the two retreated to the side.
"He's not dead?"
"He actually blocked our full-strength attack?"
The two Void Shattering experts were astonished.
Then, they attacked again.
This time, they coordinated their attacks, launching killing blows at Su Xin from two directions. But Su Xin, like a stubborn rock in the middle of the sea, wielded his sword to create massive waves, using a unique force to repeatedly fend off their attacks.
Su Xin had only activated fifty percent of his bloodline power.
"Hmph, these two may be Void Shattering experts, but they're only at the early stage, and their skills are quite ordinary. In terms of strength, they're much weaker than the guardian of the second level of the Dragon-Seeking Tower." Su Xin snorted coldly.
The guardian of the second level of the Dragon-Seeking Tower had speed and power that barely reached the threshold of the Void Shattering Realm, but their spear technique contained a hint of Concept Comprehension, making it particularly formidable.
In terms of overall strength, the guardian of the second level was stronger than either of these two.
Back then, Su Xin had relied on the Mountain-Sea Volume to hold his ground against the second-level guardian for a long time. Now, with his mastery of the Thunderfire Volume at the initial stage, his understanding of Concept Comprehension had greatly improved, making his defense with the Mountain-Sea Volume even stronger.
Even facing two opponents, he could handle them with relative ease now.
"These two pose no threat to me, but my Su Family..." Su Xin's expression was grave.
While battling the two Void Shattering experts, he had leaped onto the rooftop, allowing him to see the chaos engulfing the Su Family.
Although the initial assault by the Pang Family's numerous experts and the sudden betrayal of the 'moles' caught the Su Family off guard, they quickly regrouped. Under the command of the Su Family elders and leaders, they began to mount an effective resistance.
In terms of Sea Transformation Realm combat power, the Su Family was not much weaker than the Pang Family. So, the outcome of tonight's battle ultimately depended on the Void Shattering experts.
Currently, there were three battlefronts involving Void Shattering experts within the Su Family.
The first was the battle between Great Elder Su Boyong and a Pang Family Void Shattering elder. The two were evenly matched, unable to determine a victor in a short time.
The second was Su Xin's situation, where he was being besieged by two Void Shattering experts.
The third, and most dangerous, involved twelve Void Shattering experts besieging Su Baichen alone.
"With so many Void Shattering experts attacking my father, I don't know how long he can hold on!"
Su Xin was anxious, eager to rush to his father's aid, but he first had to deal with the two Void Shattering experts in front of him.
To defeat these two Void Shattering experts under normal circumstances was impossible; only the Divine Annihilation Forbidden Technique offered a chance.
However, once the Divine Annihilation Forbidden Technique was activated, it could only be maintained for a few dozen breaths.
"I can't afford any delay. I must seize the opportunity for a one-hit kill!" Su Xin's gaze was cold.
Although he could easily fend off the two Void Shattering experts with the Mountain-Sea Volume sword art, he now appeared to be struggling...
"This kid is about to collapse!"
"A mere initial stage of Sea Transformation, lasting this long against us is impressive."
The two Void Shattering experts' eyes lit up, and they attacked with renewed vigor.
Meanwhile, in the void near the courtyard, another figure lurked—Mr. Chang, a late-stage Void Shattering expert, who had been instructed by Pang Shaoqing to wait and see if the Su Family had any hidden experts.
"The family head wanted me to wait and see if the Su Family had any hidden experts, but the battle has raged for so long, and even Su Xin is about to be killed. It seems the Su Family truly has no more experts," Mr. Chang thought with relief as he quietly drifted towards the battlefield.
Su Xin, under the siege of the two Void Shattering experts, was increasingly struggling, seemingly on the verge of being overwhelmed and killed.
At that moment, another figure suddenly appeared beside Su Xin, a soft sword slashing towards his neck.
"Another pest!"
Su Xin was furious, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Since you're here, you can die together!!"
"Forbidden Technique—Divine Annihilation!!"
