BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
Promotion To Six Stars

The surging waterfall furiously hit the rocks as the resulting water vapor enveloped the small valley.

On the empty ground below the waterfall, a bare-chested young man carrying a strange-looking black sword dodged the roaring attacks from the wooden trunk with a serious face. The occasional leaps and evasions he did were as nimble as monkeys. Under the sunlight, his tall and powerful body seemed relaxed.

A month had passed since Xiao Yan arrived in the valley. During this period, Xiao Yan spent most of his time on the wooden pole, resulting in numerous cuts and bruises on his body caused by the tearing of the log.

Naturally, with effort comes reward. The current Xiao Yan was already able to avoid around twelve logs at the same time. This was a huge improvement compared to a month ago when he encountered an embarrassing tip under five logs.

On a boulder outside the logs area, Yao Lao sat down with a smiling gaze as he observed the young man who continued to dodge among the twelve logs. He nodded slightly and swung his sleeves. One of the last three wooden rods hanging in the air suddenly charged towards Xiao Yan ferociously.

That unexpected attack immediately broke the balance that Xiao Yan and the twelve logs had. The small crack that Xiao Yan could use was completely blocked by the newly added log.

Xiao Yan's face turned solemn as his eyes stared intently at the thirteen logs coming at him from all directions. At the next moment, a wooden rod approached his body, carrying a strong wind pressure that caused Xiao Yan to hold his breath.

Releasing a deep breath, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body surged as he tilted his body and dodged the two wooden stalks heading towards him.

Before he could recover from the angle he used to avoid, Xiao Yan's feet suddenly stomped on the wooden pole, letting his body jump onto another wooden pole. He moved his head slightly backwards as another log dangerously flew past his ears.

After the adaptation of one month, Xiao Yan's dodging speed had far surpassed a month ago. Although the chain of attacks of twelve continuous wooden beams was always dangerously and almost avoided, it was difficult for any one of them to actually hit his body.

The intense pressure that the wooden beams carried as they passed by caused pain to creep through Xiao Yan's skin. However, he did not dare to use Dou Qi to protect his body. At such a time, every thread of Dou Qi should be used in the most appropriate place. Otherwise, once his Dou Qi was depleted, what was waiting for him was a terrible end to being thrown off the pole. Such an end was what had accompanied him during this period of time.

The Low Huang Qi Method was simply too insufficient to support the wastage by Xiao Yan. Hence, he had to be extremely frugal when deciding how each Dou Qi thread would be used. “If only the Qi Method could develop. Then I do not need so ‘hemat’ .. "Xiao Yan can not help but think after avoiding the eleventh log. Just as the wooden beams were passing by Xiao Yan, twelfth wooden beams came shooting towards him. However, Xiao Yan, who was already prepared, turned his feet on the wooden trunk. Only his toes were connected to the wooden rod as he tilted his entire body at a strange angle. "Schfwaff ..." The log darted past him with only half an inch of space. The strong wind caused Xiao Yan to grimace in pain.

When the twelfth logs tail passed by, Xiao Yan's face changed. Behind him was another block of wood heading towards him at a faster speed and with greater force.

In order to adapt to the attacks of the twelve logs, Xiao Yan had to spend over twenty days to understand the timing and orbit of their attacks. The thirteenth log that Yao Lao had added had cost him money.

Sensing the approaching wind, Xiao Yan slowly sighed in his heart. He suddenly closed his eyes at that moment and listened to the sound of the wind pressing behind him. The sweat pores on Xiao Yan's back swayed like tentacles.

With the help of the pressing air, a faint image that traced the attack of the wooden rod appeared in Xiao Yan's close-eyed mind. In this timeless mental space, Xiao Yan managed to fully track down the orbit of the attack and the strength he possessed. The best position to avoid it naturally appeared in his mind.

In the real world, Yao Lao's eyes twinkled upon seeing Xiao Yan suddenly close his eyes. In a slightly surprised soft voice, he whispered, "This little boy really knows how to use his spiritual perception?"

When a wooden rod appeared in his mind, Xiao Yan's body became strange. Both of his hands hugged his head and his body fell down upright. At the moment he fell, a large log passed through his face; the suppressing wind caused Xiao Yan's ears to swell slightly.

After dangerously dodging the thirteenth log attack, Xiao Yan's foot stomped on the side of the wooden pole, shooting his body upwards and finally landing on the ground. He grabbed his clothes and carelessly pulled them all over his body.

Xiao Yan sighed and, before hearing Yao Lao's words, sat upright on the ground and immediately took out a small bottle from his storage ring. He tilted the mouth of the bottle and two medicinal pills came out.

"Huh. have I consumed all ‘Pil Energy Recovery’? Looks like I have to go and choose some medicinal ingredients. "

Seeing that there were only two pills left, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. He placed one of them in his mouth and quickly got into his training form.

Sitting on the ground, Xiao Yan swiftly entered training mode. After months of training, he knew that the time after his Dou Qi was up was the best time to practice. At this moment, all the cells and muscles in his body were much more greedy towards Qi than usual.

After going into training mode and his calm breathing, a faint stream of energy revolved around Xiao Yan's body. Any energy that came into contact with his skin was consumed greedily, like a liquid that was absorbed by a sponge.

As the training continued, the energy around Xiao Yan's body grew denser without any signs of diminishing.

Yao Lao tapped his finger onto the stone as he calculated the training time of Xiao Yan. His brows suddenly surged; the time it took Xiao Yan for training was a little longer than usual.

According to Yao Lao's calculations, the Dou Qi storage space in Xiao Yan was roughly full. However, he realized that Xiao Yan still showed no signs of stopping …

"Don't tell me .. he will break through and become a six star Dou Zhe?"

Yao Lao stopped his tapping movements and softly spoke with a smile, “Lumayan. My baseline is one and a half months to reach a star Dou Zhe. But it seems that this boy managed to save half a month. It seemed like the fight in the forest some time ago had benefited him significantly. "

Gazing at Xiao Yan whose eyes were closed, Yao Lao's sharp eyes found something wrong. He frowned. “She was a little strong in her breakthrough. It seems like it needs a little external help. ”

After being silent for a moment, Yao Lao raised his finger and a gust of air shot out from his finger. It hit Xiao Yan's head and instantly dropped him from his training status.

With his practice interrupted, Xiao Yan immediately opened his eyes and glared at Yao Lao furiously. This kind of breakthrough opportunity was not something that could be easily encountered.

"Stupid. If you continue to make powerful breakthroughs, you should take a month to fully recover even if you manage to become a six star Dou Zhe. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately languished. Exchanging a month's time for a breakthrough is definitely a losing proposition. Sighing, Xiao Yan regretfully lamented, "What a good opportunity."

Turning his eyes, Yao Lao opened his mouth and scolded, “I didn't say impossible. Get up to the wooden pole. I will use fifteen sticks! "

"Fifteen?" Pulling the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yan wanted to point his middle finger at Yao Lao. The limit was thirteen logs; if there were fifteen logs, he would be instantly thrown off the wooden pole.

“Idiot, do you not know to remove the Heavy Xuan Ruler?” Observing Xiao Yan who had remained silent and refused to climb onto the wooden pole, Yao Lao could neither smile nor cry as he scolded, Yao, “What you need now is a chance and you will make it through. Stop procrastinating! ”

Hearing that he could release the Heavy Xuan Ruler, Xiao Yan's eyes twinkled. He bent his legs and with a slow groan, he grabbed the ruler's grip and pulled it with his strength before stabbing it to the ground.

After the Heavy Xuan Ruler left his body, Xiao Yan felt his body appear to be floating. The Dou Qi within him exploded like a volcanic eruption and surged through his Qi Path. The feeling of increased strength spread throughout Xiao Yan's body accompanied by continuous cracking sounds from his bones.

Once again Xiao Yan felt as if he had been reborn. This feeling was like sipping water on a hot day. All of his pores exuded a relaxed feeling that came from within him.

Stepping on the ground lightly, Xiao Yan felt his body as light as a feather. He raised his head and saw fifteen wooden sticks hanging in the air. Smiling, he descended from the ground, shooting his body into the wooden pole like a cannonball and standing upright.

"Come!"

Xiao Yan spread his hands and waved to Yao Lao. After being released from his burden, he was confident that he could withstand being attacked by fifteen logs simultaneously.

"Good manners."

Seeing Xiao Yan's confidence growing, Yao Lao smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, a strong wind blew and fifteen wooden trunks trembled. A moment later, they were accompanied by a ferocious force as they charged towards Xiao Yan from all directions.

Watching the wooden beam that smashed through the air towards him, Xiao Yan pursed his lips. His feet stepped on the wooden pole lightly and proactively moved towards it.

Under Yao Lao's control, the fifteen logs on top of the wooden posts formed an attack with no gaps. Under their simultaneous attacks, strong winds blew the leaves and grass off the ground and spread it into the air.

Without the burden of the Heavy Xuan Ruler, Xiao Yan's speed increased by more than double. The dodging movements from his body looked extremely natural and the black glue under his feet could no longer slow him down.

Under the heavy attack, the figure of the young man on the wooden pole continuously appeared and disappeared. Fifteen repeated attacks of wooden beams were completely avoided by Xiao Yan who had been released from his burden,

Seeing Xiao Yan cleverly dodging inside the training ground, Yao Lao nodded his head. A hint of admiration briefly appeared in his old eyes; the appearance of Xiao Yan without his burden had exceeded his expectations.

After the last block of wood was successfully avoided by Xiao Yan, the ten more beams of wood that were shaking unsteadily in the air suddenly stopped.

Slowly sighing, Xiao Yan stood like a stage on a wooden pole as he swallowed the last ‘Energy Recovery Pill. After a short silence, streams of faint energy suddenly and strangely invaded around him and wildly flowed into his body.

As more and more energy poured into Xiao Yan, a pale yellow light appeared on his body. His delicate and handsome face was like a warm piece of jade and after a while, he opened his eyes, revealing a light-like essence in his pupils.

After taking a deep and long breath, Xiao Yan tilted his head and looked at Yao Lao behind him. His face was filled with a brilliant smile.

"I've broken through!"

Hearing this, Yao Lao smiled and nodded. His look showed satisfaction.

After breaking through to a six-star Dou Zhe, Xiao Yan's strength once again increased significantly. Moreover, he was also able to avoid the fifteen logs with the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back after three days of training. This apparent increase caused him to smile widely.

After getting used to the attacks of the fifteen logs, Xiao Yan was finally able to avoid the bruises all over his body like he used to when training against the logs. The subsequent peaceful days gave Xiao Yan an overwhelming joy.

… ..Under the dense trees, Xiao Yan walked with the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back. His gaze continued to sweep around him. After the day's training was completed, he came out of the valley to look for medicinal ingredients for ‘Energy Recovery Pill’.

‘Energy Recovery Pill’ is something very important for Xiao Yan's training. With that, he could save over half the time he needed to recover his Dou Qi. Most importantly, time was something that Xiao Yan needed right now.

Although Xiao Yan ended up becoming a true first-rate alchemist with the growth of his strength, ‘Energy Recovery Pill’ is a second-rate medicine that, with a first-rate alchemist ability, cannot be refined. Therefore, refining the ‘Energy’ Recovery Pill was something he had to rely on Yao Lao.

In addition, the medicinal ingredients needed to repair ‘Pil Energy Recovery’ are quite rare. Back then in Wu Tan City, Xiao Yan could only find enough medicinal ingredients to cultivate ten pills. Under normal circumstances, just finding medicinal ingredients would take up a lot of Xiao Yan time.

However, Xiao Yan could sigh in relief as this was the Mystic Beast Mountain Range where there were many medicinal ingredients. Of the five medicinal ingredients needed to refine ‘Energy Recovery Pill’, four have been discovered by Xiao Yan in significant quantities. If he could find the last and most important ingredient, ‘Red’ Spiritual Recovery Fruit, a sufficient number of pills could be refined for Xiao Yan to use.

‘Red’ Spiritual Recovery Fruit usually grows in places where energy is solid. Of course, this was not always a given but it was better for Xiao Yan to search along this line of clues rather than searching blindly.

Relying on his overwhelming spiritual perception, Xiao Yan could vaguely feel the abundance of energy around him and the rough position of the high energy places. His path was currently heading to the place where he felt his energy at its densest.

Day was a time where Magical Beasts rarely roamed. Understanding this, Xiao Yan chose this time to look for medicinal ingredients. During his journey, he rarely met Magical Beasts who roamed around in search of food. One or two of those he occasionally found were avoided when he detected them.

Xiao Yan's figure quickly passed through the cover of the bushes. After which, a small pile of rubble was visible to his eyes. Behind the pile of rocks was a mountain wall with green vines spreading over it.

Observing the pile of rubble, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands. From his spiritual awareness, the energy gathered around that area was the densest in the surrounding region.

The gaze of Xiao Yan, who was focused on the pile of rubble, slowly swept across the area and a moment later, stopped on the purple-colored young tree on the mountain wall. The treefather grew from within the mountain wall. On it, the green and red colors intertwined as it hid under the hidden green leaves of the red fruit which emitted a faint fragrance.

"The Red Spiritual Recovery Fruit ..." Staring at the young tree, Xiao Yan smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. After searching for two days, he finally found her.

The medicinal ingredients he needed were in front of him but Xiao Yan was not in a hurry. He knew that where there was dense energy and rare medicinal herbs, there was most likely a Magical Beast guarding him.

Xiao Yan's eyes carefully swept around him but found no trace of a Magical Beast. He frowned. After another brief silence, Xiao Yan slowly left his hiding place when he found no signs of Magical Beasts appearing. Then he slowly and carefully headed towards the small purple-colored tree.

As his footsteps approached the tree, a cold feeling suddenly surfaced in his heart. He halted his steps and clenched his brows before turning around and running.

“Bang!”

The moment Xiao Yan turned around, a huge white figure suddenly descended the top of the mountain wall, crashing into the ground. Like a small hill, it completely blocked Xiao Yan's path of retreat.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the huge Magical Beast, Xiao Yan felt a chill on his back. His body froze in place, not daring to move.

The ferocious beast that appeared before Xiao Yan was a huge white Magic Ape. This Magic Ape was about two to three meters tall and its entire body was covered by long snow-white hair. His white fangs came out from his large and sinister mouth. From his pair of blood red eyes, a brutal killing intent was being emitted.

Xiao Yan's eyes scanned the white body of the Magic Ape and sucked in a cold breath. “Magic Beasts rank two, Snow Storm Magic Apes?”

“Bang, Bang!”

The magical beast held a rough breath, its pair of blood-red eyes staring intently at the human that had entered without permission in its territory. His huge claw hit the ground, turning some rocks into dust.

Observing the Magical Ape that showed no signs of concealing its killing intent, Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva. A rank two Magical Beast; its strength was equivalent to a human Dou Shi. With his current strength, fighting a rank two monster was no different from seeking death.

"Teacher?" Xiao Yan shouted in his heart but there was no answer. His face became bitter, "Stop messing around. This is a rank two Magical Beast.. ”.

After his futile efforts to ask for help, Xiao Yan could only return his gaze to the body of the Magic Ape and study it carefully. When he did, he discovered that there was a terrible wound in the stomach of this Magic Ape.

The wound nearly tore through the belly of the Magic Ape and as it moved its body, fresh blood flowed out from the wound which dyed the red white hair around it.

From the apparition of the terrible wound, it was likely caused by the claws of some ferocious Magic Beast. The injured Magical Beasts were usually insane and poor Xiao Yan happened to accidentally break through the territory of this severely injured Magical Beast.

“Sialang. You are the one who started this.. ”After scolding hatefully, Xiao Yan removed the Heavy Xuan Ruler from his back and violently stabbed him to the ground. Circumstances did not allow him to hold back.

Xiao Yan's actions seemed to be nothing but a challenge to the enraged Magic Ape. Immediately, this Magical Ape slammed its claws into his hard chest, emitting clang sounds.

The Magic Beast was attacking Xiao Yan, its red eyes staring at the latter. On the beast's huge claws, white-colored energy gathered swiftly. Almost instantly, the air around him became cold.

Stepping slowly from the ground, Xiao Yan softly shouted, "Violet Cloud Wings: Activate!"

Following his voice, a pair of black eagle wings that were two to three meters long suddenly shot out from Xiao Yan's back. His wings flapped and with the help of the elevator made, Xiao Yan quickly flew over ten meters above the ground.

"Rubber!" the Magic Ape roared loudly as the cold white energy formed a ball. It was released from the palm of the Magic Ape and shot towards Xiao Yan.

The month-long agility training had given Xiao Yan a monkey-like agility. He strangely moved aside and easily dodged the Magic Ape attack.

After dodging the attack, Xiao Yan curled his palm and aimed at the sinister-looking wound in the belly of the Magic Ape and gently growled in a cold voice, "Vacuum Hand!"

Following his words, a ferocious suction force was emitted from his palm. Even the broken rocks on the ground were pulled by the suction force and fired at Xiao Yan.

"Rubber!" The ferocious suction force pulled the Magic Ape until its body tilted to the side. However, when it finally stabilized his body, a tremendous pain emerged from his stomach. Lowering his head, it was found that blood continued to flow out like water from a wound that had not completely closed.

The intense pain caused the crazy Magic Ape to lose its senses. With ground-shaking footsteps, he stomped on Xiao Yan with killing intent.

Using his flexibility, Xiao Yan managed to dodge all of the Magical Ape attacks. His palm repeatedly emitted a suction force that attracted more fresh blood from within the Magic Ape.

On top of the pile of rubble, a strange scene was unfolding. The extremely insane Magic Ape relentlessly and furiously struck the small human figure beside him. Losing his reason, it was no different from ordinary Magic Beasts. The human figure beside him was like a mosquito that kept spitting out huge amounts of blood from the stomach of a Magical Beast every time he waved his hand.

The stone pile was entirely covered by bright red fresh blood, giving it a frightening look.

After a while of running around the Magic Ape, Xiao Yan was at the limit of his abilities. He let out another suction force and this time, pulled the Magic Ape intestines out along with more blood.

Attacked by a fatal blow, the Magic Ape roared for the last time before dying. It fell down profusely like a crumbling small hill while still opening its huge blood red eyes.

By the time the Magic Ape fell, Xiao Yan's weakened body also collapsed to the ground. He ignored the blood enveloping the ground as he lay on the ground and took a deep breath.

After lying on top of the pile of rocks for a long time, Xiao Yan finally managed to regain some of his strength. He stared at the corpse of the Magic Ape from a short distance away and could not help but feel fear in his heart. Had he not risen to a six star Dou Zhe or if the Magic Ape had not been seriously injured and lost his senses due to the pain, he said, the likely person who will die here today is himself …

“Little boy, you actually managed to kill a second rank monster. Ck ck, amazing.. ”Yao Lao floated out of the ring and smiled as he observed the huge corpse.

Xiao Yan looked at the smiling Yao Lao with a disdainful look. He woke up quickly and threw out the sentence ‘Awas my back’ before forming his training pose and recovering the exhausted Dou Qi in his body.

Seeing Xiao Yan close his eyes and recover his energy, Yao Lao floated in the air and acted as his bodyguard.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yan finally slowly opened his eyes. His hand felt a little numb but his body was finally filled with Dou Qi.

The energy here is pretty good. Xiao Yan muttered as he stood up. He clapped his hands and frowned, "’Flame Mantra’ this time is really too bad. It only supported me for ten minutes. Had the Magic Ape lasted a little longer, the one who would have fallen would have been me. "

“Hummph-md. Really bad. ” Yao Lao is quite honest about this. Even if ‘Flame Mantra’ has great potential, the starting point is too low. His stamina or endurance in battle was too weak.

“Ugh. When can I find a suitable Heavenly Flame .. ”Xiao Yan faced the sky and sighed. ‘Flame Mantra’ that has developed before will be its weakness for quite a long time.

Xiao Yan shook his head and sighed as he walked towards the little tree child. He plucked thirty more ‘Red’ Spiritual Recovery Fruits on it, placed it in a small jade bottle and stored it in his storage ring.

After ‘The Red’ Spiritual Recovery Fruit was properly cared for, Xiao Yan took out a dagger from the storage ring and headed towards the corpse of the Snowstorm Magic Monkey. He then proceeded to cut off his head.

“Heh, any Magic Stones?”

Cutting off the head of the Magic Ape, a snow-white Magic Stone that let out a hint of coldness appeared in Xiao Yan's sight.

Xiao Yan happily picked up the Magic Stone, this was the first time he had come across a Magic Stone of this class. Rather eager to throw it, he grasped it in his hand while a faint chill caused him to shiver slightly. Immediately, he hurriedly stored it carefully in the Storage Ring.

"Let's go." Xiao Yan packed his things and waved his finger as Yao Lao darted back into the ring.

Rubbing the simple ring in his hand, Xiao Yan lifted the Black Xuan Sovereign onto his back before taking a firm and steady step as he travelled slowly on the path he came on.

Leaving behind a pile of rubble, Xiao Yan traveled through the dense forest to immediately return to the valley. As a result of the battle, Xiao Yan was covered in blood all over, so he applied a layer of grass paste all over his body that helped cover the smell of blood. It was an important item while in the forest.

Once again quietly traveling a long distance, Xiao Yan's footsteps suddenly stopped, he could feel faint noises coming from somewhere to his left.

Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly as he swept his gaze over the area before quickly digging up the nearby bush. Through a small crack in the grass, he unhurriedly scanned the surroundings.

Not long after Xiao Yan had hidden himself, two figures slowly appeared within Xiao Yan's line of sight. When he turned his gaze to sweep the duo's chest, the look on his face slightly changed. In his heart, he cursed in a cold and soft voice, "They are from the Wolf Head Mercenaries?"

“Kurasa ..... we'd better stop here. If we continue, we will enter the inner part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Magical Beasts there could easily kill us with a single sweep. " Slowly walking over, one of the mercenaries suggested, a worried expression on his face.

Hearing his comrade's words, the other mercenaries also nodded in agreement, swearing, “Sial, where exactly is the boy hiding? The commander has given a death order, we must find the bastard dead or alive. "

“Maybe he has already been eaten by a Magical Beast and become mud. Heh heh .... ”.

“ Heh, it's possible. Looking at his age, he doesn't seem to have much experience in the forest given his age. We will return to report and continue tomorrow. " One of the mercenaries said as he frowned before stopping his steps to peek into the already rather dark forest.

“En, what a pity, that boy is worth eight thousand gold. If we are lucky to be able to meet him, judging from both of our strength as five star Dou Zhes, stopping him should not be difficult. ” The other mercenaries nodded before regretfully voicing his thoughts.

"Heh, lucky for him, let's go."

The mercenary smiled as he nodded. However, the moment he turned around, his complexion suddenly changed. Turning around like lightning, a ferocious Qi headed to his head greeted him.

This sudden attack caused the mercenary to extend his fist reflexively to clash with the incoming fist. However, the strength in the Qi attack had exceeded his expectations.

After making contact, the mercenary's face turned deathly pale, his chest felt clogged as he violently vomited out a mouthful of blood while his body was thrown into the air.

"Kill him!" In the split second before he was sent flying, the mercenary hurriedly shouted at his friend who had been overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events.

However, before his shout faded, which horrified him, he discovered that his body that was flying backwards was suddenly pulled forward by a powerful suction force.

In the air, a figure flashed forward. The moment the figure met the body of the mercenary, an elbow violently struck the throat of the mercenary. Suddenly an ominous snapping sound resounded about the empty forest.

"Bang ...." Still in the air, the limp body of the mercenary fell down, smashing into the ground violently and causing clouds of dust to splatter.

Between the start of the sudden attack and the death of the mercenaries, only seven or eight seconds had passed. By the time the other mercenaries regained consciousness, he discovered that his friend had lost the breath of his life.

Filled with shock, the remaining mercenary raised his head as he stared warily at the nearby figure drenched in a layer of blood. Somewhat stuttering, he shouted, “Who are you? Why did you attack us? "

“Hehe, aren't you all looking for me?” The figure raised its head, revealing the smiling face of a handsome young man.

“You .. Xiao Yan?” The mercenary disciple shrank and after shouting that name, he suddenly turned around and ran away. While fleeing, his hand quickly let out a beacon signal. As he prepared to fire it, the suction force behind him increased sharply and a beacon signal flew from his hand…

Easily capturing the signal beacon, Xiao Yan fiddled with it for a while before storing it in the Storage Ring. He pressed down lightly with his feet and his body suddenly shot towards the mercenaries.

Seeing Xiao Yan's fierce approach, panic flashed across the mercenary's face. With a suffocating sound, he unsheathed the sword at his waist before ruthlessly slashing at Xiao Yan furiously.

Xiao Yan's body slightly leaned to one side, easily dodging the mercenary's attack. In an instant, Xiao Yan's left leg was ferociously kicked, immediately landing on the lower abdomen of the mercenary.

Receiving a heavy blow on his lower abdomen, the mercenary groaned as a bloodline shot out from the corner of his mouth. Staggering back a few steps, he saw the figure in front of him blink as the sword in his hand was snatched away which was followed by an icy metallic taste on his neck.

"If you make another move .. I'll cut your neck."

A soft demonic voice slowly rang out in the ears of the mercenary, causing him to freeze stiffly on the spot.

“You... If you kill me, the Wolf Head Mercenaries will never let you go!” A layer of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the mercenary as he threatened with a rough voice.

“Hehe, let me go? You all never meant to let me go, did you? " Sniffing as he laughed, Xiao Yan emotionlessly continued, "Answer a few questions for me."

“Will you let me go after I answer?”

“You do not have the right to choose.” Smiling, Xiao Yan pushed his sword a little closer, "If you don't believe me, I can make dozens of wounds on your body before throwing you into the meat-eating ant nest?"

Hearing these words, the mercenary's face immediately turned even paler. His feet continued to tremble, regretting that he thought the young man who looked like a teenager would not be evil.

"What do you want to ask?"

“Did Mu Li obtain something from the stone box inside the cave? He seems to lack the key, right? ” Xiao Yan smiled viciously as he asked.

"Commander Mu Li moved the stone box and stone table to the back, like what was contained in it, I have no authority to know."

Observing the mercenary who seemed to be telling the truth, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly, "How much of a reward did the Wolf Head of the Paying Army give me?"

"Gu." The mercenary swallowed before nodding his head with difficulty, "Since the young commander returned, the commander has issued a statement that anyone who reports your trail to the Wolf Head Mercenaries will be given a high reward."

"Hehe, I can't believe that they are actually very persistent ..." Laughing lightly, Xiao Yan had a cold killing intent on his face.

“One last question, did something happen to Little Fairy Doctor?”

"none. After returning to Qingshan town, the Little Fairy Doctor had yet to leave the Thousand Medicines House. The commander and the others did not dare to move. " With eyes turned, the mercenary secretly took out a dagger from his sleeve.

"Oh .." Slightly nodded his head, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. An unsympathetic smile suddenly appeared on his face, “It seems you also know that I never intended to let you live again.”

“So, you can go and die!” An ominous glint flashed across the mercenary's eyes as the dagger in his hand was suddenly pushed into Xiao Yan's chest.

With an ice-cold smile, Xiao Yan floated backwards, the sword in his hand being pulled as traces of blood appeared on his blade.

Seeing the fallen mercenary body twitching lightly, Xiao Yan released a cold grin. He never planned to let this fellow return to make a report, which would cause a large army to be sent to the area around here.

“Tch, tch. It seemed like the commander of the Wolf Head Mercenaries was also a very ruthless and meticulous person. No wonder he became the father of a son like Mu Li. " With a somewhat gloomy and cold smile, Xiao Yan carefully cleared the traces of the fight before dragging the two bodies some distance away to throw them into the abyss.

“Teacher, it looks like we need to tighten up our training schedule. In just one month, they had made it this far. Perhaps in a few more days, they will be able to find the place. ”Xiao Yan said as his mouth twitched. Taking a glance at the endless abyss, Xiao Yan clapped his hands as if he wanted to remove the impurities from the body in his hands.

“En. Indeed, the schedule needs to be tightened. " From above the ring, Yao Lao's faint voice appeared.

Xiao Yan blinked as he laughed while clenching his fingers. A small smile on his face, he asked, "Teacher, when will you honor the promise of a Di Rank Dou Technique?"

“Heh heh, little brat, don't think that Di Rank Dou Technique is the same as Xuan Rank Dou Technique. To learn this, you must prepare for a world of suffering! " Yao Lao laughed wickedly.

“Have I not experienced much difficulty?” Sensing his face, Xiao Yan smiled lightly and then turned around to travel towards the valley.

“I look forward to the so-called Di Rank Dou Technique. How strong is that? "
