Douluo Dalu - First Slash

Fang Xuan sheathed his sword calmly after killing the patriarch with a single draw. His expression was calm as if he had just done something insignificant.

He wanted to intimidate the Shui Family, so he used his strongest fighting strength right from the start. He had killed the Soul Douluo patriarch with a single slash, shocking everyone in the Shui Family.

"How is this possible? The patriarch is dead?!"

Everyone in the Shui Family was horrified!

One slash. Just one slash had killed the strongest member of the Shui Family, the Rank 81 patriarch of the Shui Family. Everyone was terrified as they looked at the patriarch's corpse on the ground. They looked at Fang Xuan with fear as if looking at a hundred-thousand-year-old beast.

"Eh?" Fang Xuan's eyes narrowed. He noticed that the patriarch's corpse was glowing. His eyes immediately lit up, and he pointed his finger.

A streak of scarlet flames flew out from his fingertip and burned the two halves of the patriarch's corpse into ashes.

After that, two ice-blue soul bones fell out of the corpse. They released a moving halo, and surging energy filled the air. Many people revealed greedy looks, but no one dared to step forward to snatch them.

"Soul bones!" Fang Xuan was pleasantly surprised. He waved his right hand, and the two ice-blue soul bones were immediately caught in his hand. He carefully examined them.

He didn't expect a Soul Douluo to have two soul bones. This patriarch of the Shui Family was lucky. Although the soul's bones weren't very old and only had a cultivation of thirty thousand years, they were still very precious.

After calmly holding the two soul bones, Fang Xuan coldly swept his gaze across the group of Shui Family disciples. He said, "Submit or die?!"

These threatening words caused the hundreds of disciples of the Shui Family to shiver. From Fang Xuan's murderous gaze, they could tell he wasn't joking but serious. As long as anyone dared to say no, they would be killed.

Even the patriarch and elders were different from Fang Xuan's match. What could they, this group of Shui Family's disciples, do?

"We're willing to submit …"

In the next moment, everyone from the Shui Family lowered their heads and knelt before Fang Xuan, choosing to submit to him.

The entire Shui Family submitted in the face of Fang Xuan's overwhelming strength.

"Very well, from today onwards, Shui Bing'er is the new Clan Leader of the Shui Family. Does anyone have any objections?" Fang Xuan's expression was cold, and his words contained an oppressive aura that could not be defied.

"Understood …" The Shui family's members all had bitter expressions. Now that things had reached this point, who would dare to have any objections? They hastily bowed to Shui Bing 'er and respectfully said, "Greetings, new family head."

"Eh?" Shui Bing'er was stunned as she looked at the Shui Family's disciples who had submitted to her. She didn't know what to do. She never thought that Fang Xuan would help her become the Patriarch.

She took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm. She said to everyone, "Get up, we are all one family. Today's matter will be forgotten!"

Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them were still worried that the new Clan Leader would pursue the matter of their disrespect towards her. Now that they heard Shui Bing'er's words, many of them were relieved.

Fang Xuan intended to help Shui Bing'er take over the Shui Family. He wanted her to become stronger so that she could live without him, and he wasn't interested in being her bodyguard forever.

"Heal!" Fang Xuan glanced indifferently at the three severely injured Shui Family elders. He stood with his hands behind his back and gently waved his sword. A milky-white light surged and landed on the three elders, quickly healing their injuries.

In the previous battle, he had deliberately shown mercy and didn't kill the three elders. He was prepared to leave the three Soul Sages to Shui Bing'er to be her bodyguards. Of course … he still needed to take some precautions.

Fang Xuan's lips curled into a dangerous smile as he thought of this. Three streaks of fiery red blood shot out from his palm and entered the bodies of the three elders along with the Immortal Begonia's healing light.

Under the powerful healing ability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, it didn't take long for the three elders of the Shui Family to recover from their injuries. They crawled up from the ground and looked at Fang Xuan with complicated expressions. Finally, they lowered their noble heads and said, "We are also willing to submit …"

"Very good! In the future, you will be responsible for helping Shui Bing 'er manage the Shui Family and the entire Tianshui City!" Fang Xuan nodded in satisfaction and continued, "

Of course, if you dare to have any thoughts of betrayal in the future, don't blame me for not warning you.

When I was treating your injuries, I planted a type of fire poison in your bodies. That is the innate poison of the Fire Qilin. It will flare up once every month.

When it flares up, your entire body will feel like it's on fire, and you will suffer unbearable pain.

If you don't have the antidote, your internal organs will be burned and you will die without a doubt."

Hearing this, the three elders' expressions changed. They pointed at Fang Xuan and said, "You …"

"Don't worry. If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed all of you during the battle. Why would I need to waste so much effort to treat you?" Fang Xuan indifferently said,

"In a while, I will tell your new clan leader how to remove this fire poison. She will treat it for you every time the fire poison flares up. Of course, if you dare to disobey, hmph hmph."

He wanted to control them like puppets … All the elders had bitter expressions.

They were lucky enough to escape with their lives. How would they dare to resist? They respectfully said, "Yes, we understand."

In this way, Fang Xuan helped Shui Bing'er become the clan leader of the Shui Clan and the City Lord of Tianshui City. Under his iron fist, everyone in the Shui Clan bowed their heads and obeyed.

"Wow, that little trash prince, how did he become so powerful?!" Shui Yue'er's eyes shone brightly. She looked at Fang Xuan with amazement. She remembered that three or four years ago, the latter was still an unknown little trash. Now, he was so powerful that she, and even the entire Shui Clan, had to look up to him.

It was incredible.

At this time, Shui Yue'er's lively, big eyes rolled around as a flirtatious smile appeared on her pretty face. She poked Shui Bing'er with her elbow and giggled, "Big Sister, you two … did that?"

"Damn girl, you're asking for a beating!" Shui Bing'er's pretty face was boiling. She angrily glared at Shui Yue' er and pulled the latter's face. The two sisters began to play.

… …

After subduing the Shui Clan, Fang Xuan gave the two ice-type ten-thousand-year soul bones he obtained from the Shui Clan's ancestor to Shui Bing'er.

The girl was too weak now. She was only a Rank 51 Soul King. Although she had the fire poison to control the three Soul Sage elders, it was less safe than having her strength.

Therefore, other than giving her the two soul bones, Fang Xuan also gave her some precious medicine that he stole from the Qilin's Cave. He wanted to push her rank to the Soul Emperor rank first.

Shui Bing'er's talent was outstanding. Her martial soul was the rare top-notch Ice Phoenix. If nurtured well, she would become a Titled Douluo in the future.

Fang Xuan had already begun cultivating his power to plan for the long term.
