Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch.1 - Leaving the Jia Ma Empire

A group of people gathered at the city gate. Many gazes that contained some hope or curiosity locked onto the two people standing in the empty area. During this period of time, the name Xiao Yan was almost known to everyone in the Jia Ma Empire. Many people had just heard about this legendary person who dared to compete with the entire Misty Cloud Sect with his own strength. All the faces present were now filled with anticipation. Now that they were lucky enough to watch him fight with their own eyes, they wanted to know if the rampant rumors were true or not. Did this young man, who was not even twenty yet, really have the strength to kill a Dou Wang?

Mu Tie's hand was crossed in front of his chest, like a black-colored iron pagoda. He stood up calmly, but exuded a strong and resolute Qi despite not being angry, pressing people to the point where the skin on their heads became numb. From the Qi he emitted for sure, his strength clearly far exceeded Meng Li. According to Xiao Yan's guess, this middle-aged and large man had probably already reached the peak of the Dou Ling class. With his age, even with a fairly good training talent, this was something that would cause one to bite their tongue. Of course, the reason for that was partly because he had been in a bloody battle all year. The battle of life and death on the battlefield had always been a training ground that could accelerate one's growth rate.

Mu Tie was currently also staring at Xiao Yan, who had attracted that huge 'Black Lord', with a hint of interest. This extremely special weapon had become the mark of this young man. Because of this, there were even some young men within the Jia Ma Empire who started to use this type of weapon fashionably. Of course, with Mu Tie's eyes, he would naturally not think that the 'Ruler' of those impersonators would be able to compare to the strange 'Black Lord' Xiao Yan. This was because when the 'Ruler' appeared earlier, Mu Tie felt that Xiao Yan's body was actually slightly sunk. Obviously, the weight of this ruler cannot be underestimated.

"Since Vice Commander Meng Li is planning to take action personally, it is only natural that you all need to listen to me. As the supreme commander of ‘Zhen Gui Pass’, my rule is the law when you compete in my territory."

He glanced at Meng Li who had taken the large blood-red blade from his storage ring and smiled. His feet suddenly stepped on the ground and two lines of cracks began to immediately spread from his feet. Finally, it quickly agglomerated into a large circle. The circle coincidentally encircled Xiao Yan within it.

"The strength of you two is not weak. I'm afraid you guys will cause damage to the surrounding area, which will be a little troublesome. After all, repairing things also required a little money. This circle will be the limit. Anyone who is forced out of this circle loses. However, I will remind you of some things first. This was not a life and death match, therefore, there was no need to fight until someone else died. Otherwise, if Vice Commander Meng Li was incapacitated by Xiao Yan, where would I go and look for another representative in such a short amount of time? Ha ha ha."

The corner of Meng Li's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing Mu Tie's laughter, which hid a mocking tone. He also knew that inside this ‘Zhen Gui Pass’, he and Mu Tie were basically like fire and water that could not join. However, he did not expect that the latter would actually not give him face in public.

"Hgm." Meng Li snorted coldly. His gaze was dark and cold as he turned to Xiao Yan. The blood-red large blade trembled slightly and the dark yellow Dou Qi swiftly wrapped around it. Immediately, a faint smell of blood shot out from his blade.

Seeing his provocation did not even cause Meng Li to become a little angry, Mu Tie simply smiled as if he was happy and said, "However, Xiao Yan, you should not be careless. Vice Commander Meng Li practiced the Xuan Class Low Level ground affinity Qi Method. Moreover, his ‘Blood Killer Knife’ Dou Technique, which is also a Low Level Xuan Class, is something that even I have to take seriously. "

"Tu Tie, you're overreacting!" Hearing Mu Tie completely reveal all of his skills in just two to three sentences, Meng Li's expression instantly turned green as he spoke furiously.

"Ha ha ha, all right. I won't say anything more." Mu Tie smiled and nodded. He shrugged his shoulders at Xiao Yan and directly waved his hand. In a weak voice, he said,

"Start."

Xiao Yan sighed deeply. He held the hilt of the 'Heavy Xuan Ruler' and focused on Meng Li opposite him, whose face was filled with killing intent. He was about to attack when Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded from within his heart, "Allow me. Don't waste any more time. Leave the Jia Ma Empire as soon as possible to avoid the emergence of more problems. "

"Uh, okay."

Xiao Yan helplessly shrugged his shoulders. He could only forget the thought of taking the opportunity to try using ‘Skyfire Three Mysterious Change’. Under the strange gazes of the people around him, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Hee hee, what a very arrogant person."

Upon seeing this Xiao Yan form, Meng Li instantly became furious. Given his status, when had he ever been looked down upon like that? Just then, yellow sand began to surge around the city gates. The ferocious presence that emerged from within the yellow sand caused the surrounding mercenaries, who were observing, to hurriedly retreat a few steps. Their faces were immediately filled with envy. Dou Ling class. This is a level that many people can only dream of.

The yellow sand gradually disappeared and Meng Li, whose entire body was wrapped in a layer of yellow-colored Dou Qi Armor, appeared before everyone. A sharp blade-shaped projection was fired from the large, blood-colored blade in his hand, leaving a deep scar on the ground.

The bloody blade in his hand was moistened by Dou Qi and was getting brighter. Meng Li's eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan, whose eyes were closed. His body was silent for a moment before suddenly, a loud shout broke the calm atmosphere around him. His feet stepped on the ground and his body was like a cannonball, which appeared in front of Xiao Yan in a few flashes. The bloody blade in his hand carried a dense, bloody killing aura, as it directly pierced downwards, as if he was splitting the ground.

"The bloody Dou Blade technique of this fellow was getting closer to the peak. Judging from his power and strength, even an ordinary four star Dou Ling would have difficulty accepting it."

Mu Tie could not help but frown a little as he felt the extreme pressure from the suppressing force of the blade. His gaze immediately turned to Xiao Yan, whose eyes were still closed as if he had heard nothing. He muttered, "What is this guy doing? From my observation, his breath seems to be only around Da Dou Shi? Don't tell me this is his true strength? "

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes as the sharp and rushing sound of wind made his presence known above his head. At that moment, a green and white colored flame strangely appeared and shone within his black and dark eyes.

Meng Li's face, which was filled with killing intent, became dull as her gaze swept across Xiao Yan's strange pair of eyes. However, the bloody blade in his hand did not hesitate as it ruthlessly pierced Xiao Yan's head.

"About!"

Xiao Yan's hand was gently raised. The great Xuan Heavy Sovereign suddenly moved upwards and collided with the bloody blade that contained a ferocious power. Immediately, sparks flew and energy ripples that were visible to the naked eye were emitted from where the two weapons came into contact, lifting waves of yellow-colored sand from the ground.

Xiao Yan held onto the Heavy Xuan Ruler with one hand, while Meng Li's bloody blade was firmly pressed onto the ruler's body. However, regardless of how flushed Meng Li's face was and how much strength she added, the ruler seemed to have hardened in the air and did not move in the slightest.

The flushed face of Meng Li, who was breathing rapidly, was almost too extreme when compared to the calm face of Xiao Yan, whose breathing did not even have the slightest mess.

The mercenaries and soldiers around the city gate were somewhat dumbfounded as they watched Xiao Yan block Meng Li's ferocious attack with a careless block. Please note that Meng Li's strength may not be considered a peak at ‘Zhen Gui Pass’, but could be considered a rank among the top five. Normally, when he encountered bandits, that bloody blade would cut off the head of an arrogant and despotic bandit in an unknown amount. However, today, this bloody blade, which had never been harmed, was actually blocked by a young man in a steady manner.

"That's it. With this little bit of strength, you still want to go out and show your flaws?"

Xiao Yan slowly raised his head. Two different colored flames danced gently in his eyes. A cold smile emerged from the corner of his mouth. His right hand moved as if it was passing through a flower to pluck a leaf as it pressed down on Meng Li's chest in a lightning-like manner. His palm slightly curved and a force suddenly gushed out.

"Glug... Uhukk"

Meng Li's chest felt like it was being crushed by a five hundred kilogram rock. He immediately and wildly vomited out a mouthful of fresh blood as his body flew backwards. Finally, he hit the city wall violently. After which, he fell under everyone's blunt gaze. Immediately, he spewed out another mouthful of fresh blood. His body curled up like a cocoon. The Dou Qi Armor on his body had been smashed to pieces with a single punch.

Meng Li's hand wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth. His face showed a painful and bitter expression of disbelief.

"Don't the old Sect Leader say that this person's strength has greatly decreased? Why is he still strong? "

Be quiet!

Everyone at the city gate fell silent as they stared at Meng Li, who was struck out of the circular boundary with a single strike. A long time later before there was someone who groaned slowly. A strong person of the Dou Ling class finally lost and instantly vomited blood after just one exchange. This young man who didn't seem to even be twenty years old was actually this scary?

At this moment, those people, whose hearts were originally tempted by the generous reward for capturing Xiao Yan, instantly gave up hope of successfully doing so. Looking at the latter's vicious manner earlier, the possibility of the rumor he killed Elder Yun Leng was true. Someone who could kill a strong person of Dou Wang class. Even if this mercenary company was going to unify all of their strength, it seemed like it was still not enough to handle a few swings of his sword.

"Huu. He is very strong. No wonder the Clan Chief sent a letter telling me to take the opportunity to sell Xiao Yan a favor if there was a chance to do so. This power was worth the price!" Mu Tie slowly exhaled. He looked at Xiao Yan who was standing still after pulling his palm and could not help but mutter in his heart.

Xiao Yan turned his head and the green and white colored flame in his eyes quickly disappeared. Just as he had gained control of his body, Yao Lao voice suddenly sounded from within his heart, "Xiao Yan, quickly leave from here. Don't delay anymore! Hurry along! "

Xiao Yan was initially startled when he heard Yao Lao's voice. His face immediately changed involuntarily and his heart also suddenly became fast. From Yao Lao's words, he managed to discern a hint of panic?

Xiao Yan's throat slightly rolled. Cold sweat was pouring down his forehead. The thoughts in his heart were rolling quickly. Back then, even when faced with a Dou Zong, Yun Shan, Yao Lao did not look scared at all. Why did he actually show such emotions in his heart now? What was that?

Xiao Yan's mouth suddenly felt a little dry. He did not dare to ask anything more. The heavy ruler in his hand was quickly stored in his storage ring as he turned towards Mu Tie and asked, "Supreme Commander Mu Tie, may I know if I can leave now?"

"Hahaha, of course. I have said that as long as you can defeat Meng Li, you are allowed in and out of this ‘Zhen Gui Pass’. " Mu Tie laughed out loud.

"Thank you very much."

Xiao Yan laughed softly. Instantly, he walked directly towards the city while being watched by the hundreds of people around him. Just as he was about to enter the dark black tunnel, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Being the focus of attention of this place at this moment, the private whispers around him immediately became silent when Xiao Yan stopped his steps. Many hot gazes stared at the skinny figure of the young man. The eyes of some women were even filled with adoration that left people speechless.

"Commander Mu Tie, I will return this favor to the Mu Clan in the future." Xiao Yan tilted his head towards Mu Tie who was slightly stunned and said in a deep voice.

Mu Tie was empty for a moment before smiling. One really has peace of mind when talking to an intelligent person.

"In addition, Deputy Commander Meng Li …"

Xiao Yan's gaze turned to Meng Li's bright red face, which was supported by Meng La. Xiao Yan's gaze then slowly swept across the several hundred people at the city gate. He was silent for a moment before suddenly turning around. His body disappeared into the darkness quietly, freely, and leisurely. That faint voice of hers, however, was secretly released.

"Help me tell Yun Shan. In two years or at most five years, I, Xiao Yan will return. If the time comes, tell him to wash his neck. I, Xiao Yan, will personally take his life to end today's grudge! "

When everyone at the city gate heard a faint sound that was slowly transmitted, even Mu Tie's face involuntarily changed completely expressionless.

Asking a strong Dou Zong to wash his neck. This young man was likely the first to have pride and confidence in the Jia Ma Empire!
