Invincible Dad-Chapter 673: Might Makes Right_1

If they could be captured and subjugated, the Moon Clan’s combat power would rise to the next level!

Thus, the sixteen Elders now gazed at Xu Yiyi and Qian Xiao as if they were treasures, their covetousness blatant and undisguised.

The only source of dissatisfaction for Mou Yuan and the other Elders was the stubbornness of the two human cultivators, who had no intention of surrendering. Even injured and with no hope of escape, they still chose to fight to the bitter end.

In this regard, the Human Race was just like the Moon Clan: none would live on their knees; they would only die on their feet.

Fearing the two young humans might choose to self-destruct in despair, Mou Yuan and the other Elders ceased their attacks. Instead, they formed a circle, trapping Xu Yiyi and Qian Xiao within it.

"Our Moon Clan’s goal has never been slaughter," Mou Yuan stated solemnly. "We came to Earth to help your Human Race prosper and develop."

"If you surrender to us now, you will be abandoning darkness for light. It is the wise choice."

Mou Yuan extended his hand. "Come, let us join hands to build a better Earth and work toward peace between the Moon Clan and the Human Race."

"Pah!"

Qian Xiao’s pale, blood-smeared face was a mask of utter disdain as he spat contemptuously. That day in Chang’an City, he had witnessed the feud between the Human Race and the Moon Clan firsthand.

Work toward peace?

The Moon Clan had started the war, yet they claimed they were doing it for peace. The notion was so absurd it was laughable. Utterly ridiculous!

"How audacious!" an enraged Moon Clan Elder roared, about to strike with his palm before Mou Yuan stopped him.

"Calm down."

Mou Yuan was a man of deep cunning. He sighed lightly and said, "Young man, do you realize that what people wish for and what they actually do are often two different things?"

"You must think for yourself and not be swayed by the ideas of others. Just think, if..."

Before Mou Yuan could finish, Qian Xiao interrupted, "You’re a crafty old codger! Your Grandpa Qian isn’t that dumb!"

Even with his renowned temper, Mou Yuan’s face darkened. He said indifferently, "Young man, there’s a saying in your Hua Country: don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty."

"I, Qian Xiao, would rather die than help a tiger do evil!"

Though his voice was still boyish, Qian Xiao spoke with righteous indignation. A ray of holy light pierced the dark clouds, shining down on him and making him look like a god!

His grand moment was shattered by a soft voice.

"Qian Xiao, the saying is ’to act as a jackal to the tiger’..." Xu Yiyi corrected him quietly.

"It’s the same thing! You know what I meant," Qian Xiao said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

This is the valor of my Hua Country’s men. This is the backbone of my Hua Country. This is the young generation of our Martial Dao! Tan Chang’s eyes brimmed with tears. If his mouth hadn’t been sealed, he would have roared, "Well done!"

"Stubbornly incorrigible," Mou Yuan said grimly. "Elders, remember to leave them breathing. We’ll take them back to the Moon Clan for the King to perform a soul-search."

The fifteen Elders nodded in unison. The next moment, they swept forward, an endless and terrifying aura surging around them.

BOOM!

A punch from a Crescent Moon Clan Elder, which Xu Yiyi narrowly dodged, blasted a distant mountain peak into dust, sending a thunderous roar through the sky.

"Missed," the Crescent Moon Elder glared at Xu Yiyi, snarling with a vicious smile. "But the next punch won’t."

Sixteen Peak of Golden Core Elders, plus one Half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, could potentially challenge a true early Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse if they didn’t care about casualties. This was to say nothing of facing two children who had only reached the early Golden Core stage after less than half a year of cultivation. Although Xu Yiyi and Qian Xiao’s cultivation progressed at a divine speed, they lacked the cunning and ruthlessness that befitted their Boundary!

Facing the combined assault of sixteen old foxes, they felt utterly helpless and were forced into a passive position.

"Aaaargh!" Unable to break through their encirclement, Qian Xiao’s furious roar echoed across the mountain.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Xu Yiyi swung the Yunxiao Sword. The Qingfeng Sword Intent, though gentle, was overwhelmingly powerful, each strand capable of shattering mountains and splitting stone.

But the Moon Clan Elders were all wily old veterans who had lived for over a century. They naturally wouldn’t face her attacks head-on, instead using Miao Momo and the kindergarten children as human shields.

Fearing she would harm the hostages, Xu Yiyi didn’t dare to go all out. Instead, she found her hands tied. She was afraid of hurting her classmates, her teachers, and the kind female security guards. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This caused the already disadvantaged pair’s situation to worsen, forcing them onto the defensive.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Shielding Xu Yiyi with his body, Qian Xiao was covered in a fresh set of wounds, his clothes soaked with blood.

Sorrow filled Tan Chang’s eyes. Are Hua Country’s two brightest young talents really going to be taken to the Moon by these despicable Moon Clan members? I can’t accept this!

But no matter how unwilling he was, Tan Chang couldn’t move an inch. He could only watch helplessly, his heart filled with powerlessness.

SWOOSH!

Mou Yuan beckoned with his hand. The Immortal Binding Rope that held Tan Chang shot out as a streak of golden light, instantly tying Qian Xiao and Xu Yiyi together.

BANG!

The two of them fell to the ground. A magical treasure capable of binding a Nascent Soul could, of course, effortlessly suppress two early-stage Golden Core cultivators.

It’s over. It was the only thought in Qian Xiao’s mind.

Tears welled in Xu Yiyi’s eyes. She bit her lower lip and said angrily, "You’re despicable!"

"Hahahaha," Mou Yuan laughed boisterously. He was holding a chubby little girl in his grasp—it was Yiyi’s good friend from kindergarten, Mao Dou.

"Little girl, let me teach you a lesson today," Mou Yuan said, looking down on them from his superior position. "Once you step into the Cultivation World, there’s no such thing as ’despicable.’ To achieve your goals, you must use every means necessary, whether they be righteous or wicked."

"This is the cruel Cultivation World, where might makes right."

"People like you, so hesitant and unwilling to attack for the sake of mere mortals... it’s truly laughable."

Mou Yuan’s words dripped with mockery. He gripped Mao Dou’s neck with his left hand and lifted the Immortal Binding Rope with his right. He said coolly, "I’ll give you one last chance to surrender. Otherwise, I’ll kill her!"

Qian Xiao didn’t speak. Xu Yiyi didn’t speak either. They both glared furiously at Mou Yuan.

"My patience is limited. I will kill one person every second. Let’s see how long your stubbornness lasts."

Mou Yuan paused, then began the count. "One."

"Might makes right, is that it?" Xu Yiyi murmured, her eyes brimming with tears, as if talking to herself.

"That’s right," Mou Yuan’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Have you come to your senses?"

The other fifteen Elders turned their gazes toward her in unison. Tan Chang’s face turned ashen.

"I’ve come to my senses," Xu Yiyi said, then took a deep breath.

Under the puzzled stares of Mou Yuan and the others, Xu Yiyi suddenly tilted her head back and screamed at the sky.

"Dad, save me!"

Her call echoed across the mountainside.

"...save me..."

"...me..."

Mou Yuan froze for a second, then scoffed, "Overestimating yourself. Who is this father of yours, and where could he possibly be?"

"Uncle Xu is the most powerful person in the entire universe! You old fool, you’re finished!" Qian Xiao yelled.

"Arrogant brat. Allow this old man to teach you how to speak," Mou Yuan said with contempt. The blood moon behind him morphed into a massive hand and swung viciously toward Xu Yiyi and Qian Xiao.

But in the next instant, Mou Yuan’s pupils contracted violently. He saw his blood-red palm suspended in mid-air, the Spiritual Energy completely frozen!

No.

It wasn’t just the Spiritual Energy. Everything in the area, including time and space itself, was locked in place.

Mou Yuan’s heart pounded with shock. He could see the absolute terror frozen in the eyes of the other Crescent Moon Clan Elders.

TAP.

TAP.

TAP.

Into the dead silence, the sound of footsteps approached.
