"Leave the rough stuff to me."

  Mu Li and the twenty or so members of the Wolf Head Merary pany burst out ughing as they saw Xiao Yan standing in front Little Fairy Doctor with the Heavy Xuan Ruler, as if he was going to save her heroically.

  "Ha ha ha ha, this little kid really thinks he's the hero saving the beauty."

  "Ha ha ha, he 't possibly think that he beat over twenty of us Dou Practitioners just because he's a bit strong."

  Mu Li chuckled with a mog look in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan. "A 2-star Dou Practitio such a young age is ialented, but unfortunately, geniuses often die young."

  His gaze swept over the several piles of glittering gold s in the room, and a flicker of greed fshed through his eyes. He licked his lips and smiled, "All right, whatever you two found here now belongs to the Wolf Head Merary pany. Little Fairy Doctor, I might spare your life if you're willing to beine. Don't worry, I will treat you well, uhat assistant of yours who betrayed you."

  Little Fairy Doctor trembled upon hearing this. She had no family, and the closest person to her was her medial assistant. She had only mentiohe cave to her assistant in passing and never expected to be betrayed by the person closest to her.

  "Ke ke, that woman retty stupid, just a few sweet words and she blurted out everything. But rest assured, I've already silenced her forever. She won't betray you again," Mu Li said with a slight smile, a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

  "You bastard!" Little Fairy Doctor cursed, not expeg Mu Li to be so ruthless.

  Mu Li extended his hand like a gentleman and invited, "e, Little Fairy Doctor, hand over the items to me. I, Mu Li, swear I will never betray you. With these treasures, our Wolf Head Merary pany will surely dominate Qingshan Town and even ahe neighb cities."

  At this moment, no o more out of pce than Xiao Yan.

  He drew his Heavy Xuan Ruler with a dashing fir and positioned himself in front of Little Fairy Doctor in a stahat suggested he could hold off thousands single-handedly.

  Yet, no one paid any attention to him.

  This Mu Li even began his 'vilin's monologue', and did not put him in his eyes at all.

  "As, have you ever sidered that maybe, just maybe, none of you will survive tonight?" Xiao Yan awkwardly scratched his cheek with his finger and uttered the most threatening words in the softest tone.

  "If you're in a hurry to die, I oblige you. Killing a wet-behind-the-ears kid like you wouldn't be difficult," Mu Li's smile was filled with murderous i.

  Xiao Yan touched his nose, finding the ure of the townsfolk in Qingshan Town quite endearing. They actually believed his cim of being a 2-star Dou Practitioner, which made him, the little liar, feel slightly embarrassed.

  "Ke ke ke, kid, hand over the stuff and I might let you keep a plete corpse," a burly man with three golden stars on his chest stepped in front of Xiao Yan and patted his rge cleaver.

  Xiao Yan shrugged and said indifferently, "o leave the whole body, just burn it all up. It's much easier that way."

  "Alright, as you wish!" The burly man swung his cleaver, his Dou Qi surging in an instant as he swung it toward his forehead.

  Xiao Yan remained expressionless as he watched the rapidly desding cleaver. He merely flicked his Heavy Xuan Ruler lightly. The immensely heavy ruler met the cleaver like a stoing an egg and shattered it bit by bit. After that, the ruler smashed into the burly man's body with a thunderous crash.

  The tremendous forstantly shattered the man's ribs and arm bones, and his ans, uo withstand the impact, burst inside him. He was smmed into the wall, dead on impact.

  Little Fairy Doctor's mouth hung open so wide that a goose egg could fit in it, and she was not able to close it for a long time. This was simply unbelievable! It was far beyond what natural physical strength could expin.

  As for the members of the Wolf Head Merary pany present, their minds short-circuited temporarily, uo prehend what had just happened. A 3-star Dou Practitioner, who was sidered middle-tier strength in their group, had just been killed with a single blow? This visual shock left them uo recover their senses.

  Mu Li's face turned ashen as he stared at Xiao Yan's Heavy Xuan Rule, "Be careful with his on, it's strange and might be an a artifact!"

  Xiao Yan almost ughed out loud. He was not sure if it was their ck of knowledge or their unwillio believe.

  Not to mention, the Heavy Xuan Ruler was even suppressing his Dou Qi and affeg his performa this moment, his Dou Qi was equivalent to that of a 6-star Dou Practitioner.

  "Charge! Everyotack! Avoid his on! Ambush him from behind!!!" Mu Li roared and ordered all the meraries to surround Xiao Yan.

  Upon hearing Mu Li's and, over a dozen meraries charged at Xiao Yan with vicious expressions. All of them were wary of Xiao Yan's Heavy Xuan Ruler aed to using hidden ons and le Dou Teiques.

  Xiao Yan smmed his Heavy Xuan Ruler into the ground like a giant shield in the face of attacks from all dires and effectively blocked all of them.

  "Go to die!" Suddenly, three meraries who had used Dou Teiques to ceal themselves ambushed him from behind, drawing their ons with vicious expressions.

  "Xiao Yan, watch out behind you!" Little Fairy Doctor suddenly cried out. She hadn't noticed earlier that some of them had fnked Xiao Yan from both sides!

  As if he had anticipated this, Xiao Yan kicked up his Heavy Xuan Ruler and, with a turn, swept it horizontally. The tremendous forstantly killed all three attackers.

  Seeing Xiao Yan like a war god, all the members of the Wolf Head Merary pany exged gnces in disbelief. How did he know there was an ambush? Their stealth Dou Teique should have been invisible to the naked eye!

  How could Mu Li give up while staring at the treasures in front of him? Gritting his teeth, he shouted at Xiao Yan, "If you have the guts, fight without your on!"

  Xiao Yan froze for a moment. Did Mu Li really think that such a low-level provocation would work on him?!

  "Alright." He pulled up his Heavy Xuan Ruler and slung it on his back, then beed at Mu Li in a provocative manner.

  Mu Li motioo the meraries standing beside him, and four of them charged at Xiao Yan with ons in their hands and fierce expressions on their faces.

  Xiao Ya out a cold ugh and instead of retreating, he stepped forward with his right foot and closed toward them. Did they really think he relied solely on his Heavy Xuan Ruler?

  His Dou Qi surged as he unleashed three punches in succession.

  Boom, boom, boom! Three explosive sounds echoed as three meraries were sent flying. Their internal energy burst like exploding tomatoes.

  Xiao Yan quickly stepped aside to avoid getting his clothes dirty.

  "Young Leader, his... his strength seems to exceed that of a 2-star Dou Practitioner. I'm afraid he might even be a 6-star or 7-star Dou Practitioner!"

  Even though they were relut, they had to admit that Xiao Yan's strength was definitely more than that of a 2-star Dou Practitioner, and he had even cultivated a Xuan Css Dou Teique.

  Mu Li's face darkened. He had been supported by his father's resources his entire life and had only just barely reached the 6-star Dou Practitioage at the age of twe! pared to Xiao Yan, he was like a piece of trash!

  "You have the guts not to use Dou Teiques?!"

  Xiao Yan smiled slightly, hands csped behind his back, and nodded, "Sure."

  "Whoever kill him, no, even injure him, will be allowed to cultivate the pany's Xuan Css Qi Method!"

  The members of the Wolf Head Merary pany exged gheir eyes filled with endless greed. People would die in pursuit of wealth, just like birds would die in pursuit of food. Some things were worth the risk!

  With great reward es great ce. Screams e rang out as swords sshed toward Xiao Yan like rolling thunder.

  Xiao Yan's lips curled into a cold smile as he flicked a rge sword off the ground with his right foot and kicked the bde. A fsh of white light followed, and four heads rolled ly off their necks.

  The remaining dozen or so meraries were already terrified. Was this kid even human?!!

  "If you have the fug balls, don't use ons, Dou Teiques, your arms, and legs!"

  Xiao Yan looked at Mu Li who was about to colpse with a mog expression in his eyes, then casually folded his hands behind his back, sat down cross-legged, and said with a grin, "Alright."

  Even Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes widened in shock. This was akin to c death!

  "Chop him down, all of you!!"

  A wave of madness swept over all the meraries as they heard the order. As a result, they rushed toward Xiao Yan like a tidal wave.

  Xiao Yan showed no pity as he saw these desperate souls rushing toward him. A hunter who is willing to prey on others must always be prepared to bee the hunted.

  His pitch-bck eyes snapped open, and an immense surge of Spiritual Strength erupted from within him.

  High Huang Css Soul Skill: Soul Impact!

  Thud, thud, thud! In an instant, all the meraries' eyes rolled back, their mouths frothed, and without a sound, they lost their lives.

  For Xiao Yan, whose Spiritual State had already reached the great perfe of the Low Mortal State and was about to ehe Intermediate Mortal State, the Spiritual Strength of these meraries ractically ent.

  "Do you have any other requests? I let you die without as."
