Watching the more and more mercenaries fill the courtyard, Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Despite everything, he slowly walked forward in front of the gathered crowd.
"Sorry, I'm here to make a mess!"
Young man, you have guts!
As he looked at Xiao Yan's arrogant demeanor, Mu She's extreme anger turned into a smile. With a wave of his hand, replacing the originally shattered front door, a thick and heavy black door suddenly emerged from the secret crack. With the sound of an explosion, it completely closed the exit.
After the door fell, more and more members of the Wolf Heads of the Paying Army rushed out of the inner courtyard and surrounded Xiao Yan with an ominous glint on their faces. The weapons in their hands reflected a cold light in the sunlight.
Gazing at the dozens of mercenaries surrounding him, Xiao Yan seemed to be somewhat helplessly shaking his head.
"Don't expect me to do one-on-one with you, I will only use the safest method to wipe you out completely!" Mu Li sneered while staring at the look on Xiao Yan's face.
Hearing these words, Xiao Yan lightly nodded his head; for Mu She to be the commander of this group, she could not possibly be a reckless fool. If their situation was reversed, Xiao Yan would also not engage in a one-on-one fight. In this world, nothing was truly fair; regardless of how disgusting the method was, as long as it could smoothly achieve its goal, it would be the best method. Winners were always right and losers could only cry over their defeat, Xiao Yan had a deep understanding of this sentence.
"Go, kill him!" No longer enduring this nonsense, Mu She pointed towards Xiao Yan, her ice-cold voice filled with killing intent.
At the command of their commander, the surrounding mercenaries immediately gripped their weapons firmly before the battle cry as they closed the circle around Xiao Yan.
Standing at the top of the stairs, Mu She gave the somewhat reserved child a sharp look. He tightened his fists and coldly said, "No matter what happens, you must die today."
The skree!
As everyone attacked Xiao Yaa from all directions, the cries of an eagle suddenly sounded in the sky. A huge shadow descended from the sky and a large amount of white powder scattered from it. Immediately, the empty air above the courtyard was covered with a white powder that fell down slowly.
"Disregard that, kill him first!" Seeing the sudden change, Mu She clenched her brows and coldly commanded.
Upon hearing his orders, the panicked mercenaries immediately attacked Xiao Yan who was nearby, aiming to kill him.
Xiao Yan watched the mercenaries coming from all directions before raising his head; white powder would reach them.
Breathing in a light breath, Xiao Yan began to act. He lowered his legs and his right hand tightly grabbed onto the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back. With a low shout, the Heavy Xuan Ruler was held in his palm as it flew out. The dark shadow revolved around Xiao Yan's body and the several front mercenaries who were accusing him of being hit hard by the heavy ruler. Blood spurted from their mouths as their bodies were thrown backwards.
"Bang!" The black ruler was inserted into the hard ground in front of Xiao Yan. Several crack lines quickly spread from where the ruler was. With his right hand holding onto the Heavy Xuan Ruler, Xiao Yan's left hand suddenly pointed towards the sky. He curled his palm and a powerful suction force instantly sucked up the white powder that descended towards the courtyard. As the powder descended, Xiao Yan's left hand shook and an extremely powerful thrusting force blew the white powder towards the surrounding mercenaries.
"* Cough*,*cough*.." Like a storm, white powder flowed out from Xiao Yan. All the mercenaries covered in powder immediately let out a great cough.
"There's something weird about that powder! Pull back!"
Under Xiao Yan's control, the powder was quickly pushed in front of Mu She. When Mu She inhaled it, her face changed and hurriedly gave the order.
Upon hearing his orders, the mercenaries who were charging blindly at the scattered powder quickly retreated. However, they started collapsing one after another after retreating about ten steps. There were only a few powerful mercenaries who were shakyly holding him back and quickly retreated deeper into the courtyard.
Seeing that only a few managed to get out of the powder-filled air, Mu She's face turned extremely grim. A turbulent and violent wind appeared in front of him and blew towards the powder that was spreading towards him.
Blazed by the strong winds, the powder gradually dispersed, revealing many mercenaries that had collapsed. Many painful moans kept coming out of their mouths.
Mu She sighed as she saw that the lives of the mercenaries were not in danger. He raised his head and looked at the young man in the middle of the courtyard. In a loud voice, he said, "Little bastard, how dare you use poison!"
"You can use your number, so why can't I use poison?" Waving his head, Xiao Yan said with a smile as he stared at the few remaining mercenaries.
One of the mercenaries who repeatedly groaned on the ground suddenly jumped to his feet. The sharp long sword that was in his hand carried a thin layer of Dou Qi back then cunningly and ruthlessly pierced the lower abdomen of Xiao Yan.
Faced with the ambush, Xiao Yan showed absolutely no signs of panic. He tightly held onto the Heavy Xuan Ruler and placed it in front of him, covering over half of Xiao Yan's body. At the same time, this defense easily overcame the long sword attack.
"About!" The long sword pierced the Heavy Xuan Ruler. Instantly, sparks flew everywhere. However, it did not even leave a white scratch on the body of its ruler.
After the attack had secretly failed, the ambush did not continue advancing. He used the force to retreat from the attack and quickly retreated.
"Since you have launched an ambush, why did you leave?" Xiao Yan was warned with his intentions when the ambush was about to retreat. With a gentle laugh, his feet stomped on the ground. With an explosive sound, Xiao Yan's body suddenly shot forward and was only half a meter away from the ambush in an instant.
The corner of Xiao Yan's eyes carried a cold smile as his eyes met with an ambush. The ambush was his old enemy, Mu Li.
Mu Li's expression darkened as he looked at Xiao Yan who was nearby and there was panic on the inside of his eyes. When the medicinal powder descended from the sky, he used the chaos it created to get close to Xiao Yan and pretend to be poisoned within a short distance of him. However, he did not expect his acting to be easily seen by his opponent.
"Li-Er, careful!" The sudden change in the battlefield also caused Mu She, who was standing on the platform, to be shocked. This was especially the case when he saw that the ambush was actually his son; the color of his face changed as he hurriedly called out. TL: Li-er refers to Mu Li. As mentioned earlier, er is a charming term.
"It's too late!" Giving a dense smile to the retreating Mu Li, Xiao Yan once again stepped on the ground. An explosion rang out and his body swiftly appeared in front of Mu Li. The Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand carried a strong sound of wind pressure as it violently made a horizontal swing towards Mu Li's chest.
The intense wind pressure in front of him caused Mu Li's expression to change once again. A realization struck him as he said in his heart, "This person is really a nine star Dou Zhe?"
The thought flashed through Mu Li's mind and disappeared as he clenched his teeth. He was enveloped by Xiao Yan's attack and with his current speed, it was impossible to completely dodge the attack. Thus, he could only forcefully withstand Xiao Yan's attack.
The corner of his mouth twitched, Mu Li uncontrollably poured all of his Dou Qi into his long sword. Finally, he clenched his teeth and stabbed his sword, which carried the sound of strong wind, into Xiao Yan's chest.
"Bang!" The body of the great ruler flew rapidly through the air and finally struck Mu Li's chest hard. Immediately, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out violently. The intense pain caused a dangerous glint to flash across Mu Li's eyes. When his body was about to be thrown backwards, his palm moved a ferocious power into the sword hilt. The long sword left his hand and under Mu Li's evil gaze, pierced through Xiao Yan's chest.
Under Xiao Yan's ferocious attack, Mu Li's body, like a cannonball that had been shot out, shot into the ground and crashed into a huge wooden pillar. He spat out another mouthful of blood as everything in front of him turned black and he fainted.
The long sword that carried ferocious power ruthlessly pierced through Xiao Yan's chest. This desperate blow by Mu Li managed to make Xiao Yan take a step back.
In the sky, the Fairy Doctor let out a shocked breath as she saw Xiao Yan being pierced by a long sword. He was about to climb the Blue Eagle to save her when Xiao Yan raised his hand and waved at her.
Xiao Yan lowered his head and looked at the long sword in his chest. He grabbed the sword hilt and pulled it out - there was no sign of fresh blood on the tip of the sword.
"The inner vest that Yun Zhi left behind was indeed strong ..." Seeing that the tip of the sword did not have any blood stains, Xiao Yan could not help but praise in his heart. He threw the long sword to the side and looked at the half-dead Mu Li.
"Li-er!"
In an instant, Mu Li was thrown backwards and flew off the battlefield. On the high platform, Mu She's head became empty. He hurriedly jumped up and shook the unconscious Mu Li heavily. After using his finger to check if there was Mu Li's breath, he heaved a sigh of relief. He handed the unconscious Mu Li to the mercenaries behind him and raised his head to look at Xiao Yan threateningly. His hand slowly picked up the steel spear from the ground as the cold sound of his bones was filled with the intent to kill.
"No matter what happens, you will die here today!"
"You told me that last time."
Xiao Yan watched as Mu Li was lifted into the house and the corner of his mouth was raised indifferently. When Mu Li was destroyed by the Heavy Xuan Ruler, the energy on the ruler had passed through Mu Li's body and broke the Dou Qi vortex in his lower abdomen. In other words, even if Mu Li recovered from his injuries, he would become paralyzed.
This action might seem a little cruel but Xiao Yan did not care. Their relationship is one that cannot be mediated. The attempt to kill him back into the mountain cave and the chase across the mountain range would cause Xiao Yan to lose his life at the hands of father and son should he be unlucky. Moreover, Xiao Yan understood that if he ended up in their hands, even death could be a luxurious dream. Therefore, when facing his enemies, especially those with a bad relationship with him, Xiao Yan would show no mercy. He would kill if he could and make sure that the others lost the ability to take revenge if he could not kill.
