Therefore, once Xiaocao discovers her, she will poison him and drag Lin Yao to the scene so that he can deliver the final blow and ensure the enemy's death.
Kick his leg, pause, swing his knife.
Lin Yao cooperated with Xiao Cao to kill people. He was more skilled at escaping with Xiao Cao in the primeval forest. Here, there were fewer dense bushes and branches, which made it easier for him to exert force and borrow strength. His speed reached its limit. He was like a black lightning bolt, shooting between the buildings in the town. His efficiency in killing enemies had surpassed that of the Grand Elder Yi Potian, a Heaven-level expert.
The outer perimeter of the town was under heavy fire, and Lin Yao played a crucial role, focusing on eliminating snipers and heavy machine gunners. Most of these men, placed by the Jiang family, were below the Earth-level strength, and many had already died after Xiao Cao made her move. However, Lin Yao insisted on finishing them off with a final blow.
The town where the Jiang family headquarters is located is different from Yijia Town in Yanji. It is more prosperous and modern.
The smooth roads, the meticulously manicured lawns and garden plants, the flower beds and fountains, the pavilions and waterside terraces, the distinctive buildings throughout, and the bright and impressive lighting system all demonstrate the status and power of the town's inhabitants.
The town has only a few thousand people, far fewer than Yijia Town in Yanji, but its buildings are larger and more suitable for living.
Because of their short lifespans, the Yi family lost their ability to reproduce at a young age, which made them pay more attention to the continuation of the family line, resulting in a larger population.
The Jiang family, skilled in planning and scheming, was not large, consisting of only a few hundred people. The town was mostly inhabited by outsiders, such as elderly people from supported officials' families, family members of employed high-level talents, and some purely service workers.
As for the original inhabitants, after decades of management by the Jiang family, there are no original inhabitants here. Even if there were, they would have been driven out long ago or wiped out.
After entering this bustling southern town, the Yi family members encountered even more frequent attacks.
An explosion suddenly occurred under a garden plant in a flower bed; a bullet suddenly shot out from the roof tiles of a decorative pavilion; a grenade suddenly fell from the sky and had its pin pulled—various hidden and sudden attacks began to injure the Yi family members again.
The Yi family members, who had not originally prepared firearms, were armed with guns, bullets, and grenades collected by Lin Yao and quickly launched a counterattack.
Is there a sniper in a window of a building? Just throw a grenade in and that's it. As for whether innocent civilians will be hit, the Yi family members don't care at all. They know that everyone living in this town must be related to the Jiang family, and anyone who allows a sniper to enter a house is no good. Even if they get blown up, they deserve it.
With suppressive fire? The Yi family members simply picked up heavy machine guns and light machine guns and started firing, without considering whether it would damage public property or flowers and plants.
The eldest elder, Yi Potian, along with Yi An and Lin Yao, primarily dealt with the enemies facing the most intense firepower. While mid-stage Earth-level cultivators could withstand bullet damage, dense bullets and certain powerful sniper rifles could still injure them. Therefore, in this type of combat against firearms, aside from the Yi family members with their own weapons exchanging fire with the enemy, the three of them were the ones who killed the enemy.
Lin Yao couldn't do anything about mechanical or remote-controlled things. He didn't have time to have Lin Yao investigate and destroy them by attaching his senses to the tendrils of the grass. But as long as it was controlled by a person on the ground, the grass could be poisoned and killed immediately, and Lin Yao would be responsible for finishing off the remaining enemies.
The First Elder, Yi Potian, and Yi An were initially puzzled by the fact that the enemy would stop attacking whenever they approached. They assumed the enemy had retreated and would casually launch a final attack before moving on to the next location. However, when Lin Yao informed them that they should deliver the final blow to eliminate the enemy, they were shocked to discover that it was all Lin Yao's doing. They couldn't help but marvel at the alliance between the Yi family and Lin Yao, otherwise, this kind of ability alone would have been enough to wipe out the entire family.
Lin Yao no longer hesitated to demonstrate his hidden abilities.
He really didn't want the Yi family members, whom he already considered one of his own, to suffer even greater losses. The mangled corpses and the tragic state of the three seriously injured Yi family members had deeply affected him. He was unwilling to continue hiding his abilities and let the Yi family members die as a result.
The purpose of having ability is to protect the people you care about. If you can't protect these Yi family members, then even the greatest ability loses its value and meaning.
Poisoning and murder. The entire team charged forcefully towards the Jiang family's main residence, like a sharp knife.
Lin Yao lost count of how many times he had swung his dagger to slit the enemy's throat. When he finally saw the Jiang family's main residence, nestled against the cliff at the foot of Dongqiao Mountain, he was covered in blood. Much of the blood was from the high spray of blood that splattered onto him after he had numbly swung his dagger and failed to dodge in time.
Anyway, Lin Yao would finish her off, so from the perspective of improving efficiency and conserving poison gas, Xiao Cao controlled the amount of poison she applied afterward, so as not to kill the enemies directly, but only to make them lose their ability to move. This would also reduce her workload, allowing her to devote more energy to scouting and dealing with more snipers, and to prevent more casualties among the Yi family members.
The Yi family members gathered together at a distance of 100 meters from the Jiang family's main residence.
Lin Yao was slightly out of breath. Looking at Yi Potian, whose face was stern, he said calmly, "Elder, what should we do?"
"Sir." Elder Yi Potian's expression softened slightly as he turned to Lin Yao, his tone respectful. "Judging from the situation along the way, the Jiang family has used a large number of firearms and bombs this time. It is estimated that the situation in the main residence will be even more serious. Therefore, we need to carefully consider how to avoid the situation where a large number of explosives are planted in the main residence and detonated, wiping out our Yi family in one fell swoop."
"Oh, this..." Lin Yao secretly communicated with Xiao Cao in his mind and then continued, "I'll take care of this. You guys wait a moment, I'll tell you in a bit."
After saying that, he immediately sat down to meditate.

=============
As expected, Elder Yi Potian was very familiar with the Jiang family's behavior and habits, and had buried a huge amount of explosives in the main hall of the house!
A dozen or so members of the Jiang family were gathered in the hall. They carried no grenades, only firearms. This was quite different from the Jiang family members lying in ambush outside the hall, who all carried a dozen or so grenades.
Did the Jiang family even consider the safety of their main hall and worry that a grenade explosion would collapse it?
That's obviously impossible! The only explanation is that there's something wrong with this hall. The Jiang family must have made preparations to gather the Yi family members here through some means and then eliminate them all at once.
Based on Elder Yi Potian's earlier warning, Lin Yao naturally thought that there might be explosives buried here. He planned to detonate them remotely to wipe out the Yi family, or at least kill most of them, just like the previous rocket attack strategy, to eliminate the most enemies with the least possible cost.
Lin Yao carefully guided the grass to thoroughly examine the main hall of the house with its tentacles, and discovered a huge amount of explosives under the luxurious marble and black sand floor.
Lin Yao hadn't studied the yield and power of the explosives, but judging from the quantity alone, even black powder would be enough to kill many people on top. If other types of explosives were used, the power would be even greater.
Upon discovering this situation, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a bit scared. The Jiang family was truly insidious. They didn't even let go of the opportunity to exploit the magnificent main hall of the house. These gaps and underground passages showed that the planting of explosives was not a temporary act, but rather a design reserved from the time the house was built. It can only be said that the Jiang family was insidious from beginning to end.
The Jiang family's main residence was built against the mountain, with the main part of the building located in a small valley. The main gate of the main residence was the exit of this valley, and the hall was located at the narrow pass of the valley.
The fan-shaped mountain makes the main hall of the house the only passage to the buildings behind. If you want to enter the main house to commit murder, you must pass through the hall. Otherwise, you either have to fly over from the sky or climb over the steep cliffs on both sides into the valley and then enter other houses. However, neither of these options is obviously suitable.
The first method can only be done by a master of the highest level. If one were to cross over from the roof above the hall or climb the cliff, one would become a direct target of firepower from firearms. In the dense defense of the main house, this method would obviously be suicidal.
There are many ways to observe whether a large number of Yi family members have entered the main hall of the house, such as through reports from the surrounding descendants by phone, through the monitoring system, or through visual inspection by the person controlling the detonator.
