Dad?

Fan Ling was bewildered; he didn't know what Yang Shan meant by those words.

Yang Shan sighed:

"Forget it, there's no use keeping your brain. Let's send you on your way."

If Tian Yao Company hadn't repeatedly reminded players before the server launch that threatening NPCs in the game and forcing them to hand over everything would be blocked by the system, Yang Shan would actually have tried to get Fan Ling to hand over all his belongings.

But whether in reality or in a game, there are rules that must be followed.

The normal way to obtain loot is by defeating enemies.

If Fan Ling were to hand over everything, Fan Ling would destroy the Storage Ring, adhering to the principle of "I'd rather die than let you get away with this."

At that time, everything in the Storage Ring will be destroyed due to the collapse of the space.

Otherwise, if a few more NPCs with Purple Word Seal were robbed, the production of game items would collapse! Exploiting loopholes in Tian Yao Company is harder than climbing to heaven.

Of course, Fan Ling had already offered to use "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" to buy his life.

In theory, Yang Shan could catch Fan Ling more often and make him bleed out each time.

It's similar to harvesting chives.

However, it generally takes two to three months of gameplay to spawn a character once.

Yang Shan didn't have time to waste arguing with Fan Ling. A one-shot kill might yield a bunch of good loot if they were lucky.

Besides, that bastard Fan Ling dared to flirt with Xiao Xun'er, so he can't be allowed to live! Yang Shan placed his hand on the hilt of the knife, and Xiao Xun'er clasped her hands together.

Two golden Palm Force came from the left and right sides.

This time, Yang Shan truly saw things clearly.

Xiao Xun'er incorporated a trace of Golden Emperor Burning Flame into her Palm Force.

The Blood Sect's secret technique, "Blood Devouring Scripture," is an extremely Yin cultivation method.

Many Fire Attribute cultivators are completely suppressed when facing cultivators of the Blood Devouring Scripture.

However, since the Heavenly Flames is born of heaven and earth, the Blood Devouring Scripture is like a mouse encountering a cat in front of Heavenly Flames.

Not only the Blood Devouring Scripture, but many of the secondary-level cultivation techniques passed down within the Blood Sect are actually simplified versions of the Blood Devouring Scripture.

Therefore, there is an ironclad rule within the Blood Sect: when encountering a cultivator with Heavenly Flames, retreat immediately!

Never hesitate!

Because Xiao Xun'er intentionally hid it, Fan Ling had not yet discovered it.

But he was already stunned by the two Palm Force.

The internal organs have developed cracks.

Even among One Star Dou Wang, the difference between a five-colored panel and a purple panel is a true chasm! In his desperation, Fan Ling didn't care about anything else and crushed the jade bracelet on his wrist.

This jade bracelet is a special treasure; once crushed, it will form a unique protective shield of Dou Qi.

It can withstand three blows from Dou Huang expert! In addition, even if this jade bracelet breaks, Fan Lao can still sense it within a certain range.

Although Fan Ling is arrogant, he is not actually that stupid.

Sensing that the situation was not good, Fan Ling started to act submissive.

In reality, they had been waiting for Fan Lao to kill all the Dou Wang of the four major forces before coming to their aid.

Even if two One Star Dou Wang are strong, can they be a match for Four Star Dou Huang? With this special treasure to save his life, Fan Ling was flustered, but he was far from despairing.

However, Xiao Xun'er's combat strength was so great that Fan Ling had no will to resist.

Severely injured, Fan Ling knelt on the ground, shouting in his hoarse voice, "Father! Father, come quickly, Father!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a Blood Shadow rapidly approached from the distant horizon.

Fan Ling was overjoyed:

"Father!"

He's saved! As long as his dad comes, there's nothing that can't be solved!

Through the Dou Qi shield, Fan Ling revealed that wicked smile again, "This Young Master must see what kind of face you are hiding under your mask!"

Yang Shan thought Fan Ling was truly brave!

So Yang Shan kindly reminded Fan Ling, "Why don't you look at the sky again?"

"The sky? What, you finally saw that terrifying blood mist in the sky too? Let me tell you, that's my father..."

Fan Ling was about to "educate" Yang Shan on just how awesome his father was.

But when he looked up, he saw a monstrous dark Dou Qi that had compressed the blood mist, which should have spread to a radius of ten feet, into a mere inch.

Fan Lao's furious roar echoed from the horizon:

"Why must you do this, senior? I only want to save my son!"

While using Shadow Dou Qi to restrict Fan Lao, Ling Ying sneered and said in a voice only Fan Lao could hear:

"Your son dared to verbally harass my master, which is a capital offense. Not only him, but you will also die here!"

Fan Lao's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew that the Black-Corner Region was full of hidden talents, and even with his cultivation level, he could only be considered a powerful figure on the surface in the Black-Corner Region.

There are still quite a few Dou Zong powerhouses in the shadows, but they just don't bother to show themselves unless something major happens.

The powerful figure before me has reached the level of Eight Star Dou Huang! Moreover, the dark attribute Dou Qi he cultivates is even more bizarre than his Blood Attribute Dou Qi.

In the very first move of their exchange, Fan Lao was already suppressed.

But this dignified Eight Star Dou Huang is merely someone else's servant? "Just what kind of enemy has this little beast provoked?"

Yang Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ling Ying appear.

Yang Shan believed that Xiao Xun'er also had a secret technique that allowed her to fight beyond her level. Since Fan Lao's "Blood Devouring Scripture" was countered by the Heavenly Flames, he was most likely no match for Xiao Xun'er.

But Yang Shan was also worried that Xiao Xun'er would get hurt as a result.

With Ling Ying's intervention, everything can be guaranteed to be foolproof.

"Father!"

Fan Ling's roar was completely different from his previous tone.

The tremor in that voice was too obvious.

Yang Shan drew his Thunderbolt Blade and began hacking wildly at the Dou Qi shield.

Although it can withstand three attacks from Dou Emperor, this Dou Qi shield is ultimately like water without a spring.

If we keep chopping, we can eventually get it done.

Xiao Xun'er seemed to think that Yang Shan was having too much trouble cutting like that, so she kindly offered two Palm Force as support.

The light from the Dou Qi shield immediately dimmed by more than half!

Yang Shan quickly said:

"Senior, leave the rest of the dirty work to me. Killing this beast will only dirty your hands!"

Fan Ling is now completely panicked:

"Father! Save me, Father!"

"Ling'er!"

Fan Ling's cries for help threw Fan Lao into a daze, Ling Ying took the opportunity to shatter Fan Lao's Dou Qi Armor. The shadow Dou Qi struck Fan Lao, causing him to vomit two ounces of blood.

"Senior! Don't push your luck!"

Ling Ying is no pushover.

Anyone who dares to threaten the young lady of the Ancient Clan must die!

Ling Ying didn't even bother to speak, and kept hurling her dark Dou Qi at Fan Lao.

"If this continues, I... I'll die here too!"

Fan Lao lowered his head and gave Yang Shan a deep look.

Why not watch Xiao Xun'er?

Xiao Xun'er is wearing a veil! She has a secret concealment device on her body, Unseeable.

All I can do is remember Yang Shan's face.

[Ding! Player, please note that Fan Lao's hatred towards you has increased by 80 points, and you have been designated as a kill target by Fan Lao.]

Yang Shan thought with disdain:

"A kill target? You'll be lucky if you leave here alive today."

Before Yang Shan could finish his internal monologue, a massive explosion occurred in the sky.

The blood mist seemed to Yun Capital.

Ling Ying frowned, and with both hands moving simultaneously, eight dark mists, like snakes, shredded and dispersed the blood mist.

But Fan Lao's figure had already disappeared from the sky.

Yang Shan: "."

No!

Grandpa Ling Ying! What are you doing?!

You're Eight Star Dou Huang! Eight stars!

It still has Golden Word Seal!

How could they let a Four Star Dou Huang with Purple Word Seal escape? Yang Shan was frustrated, while Fan Ling was dumbfounded. "Father?"

Although they all called each other "Dad," Fan Ling managed to use a completely different tone every time!

It can only be said that the Chinese language is indeed profound and complex; it can convey the changing situation of a story simply by using different tones.

Fan Ling actually thought she was seeing things.

Isn't that his father's life-saving Dou Technique, "Blood Mist Escape"?

Using this move, one can unleash an extremely terrifying speed in a short period of time, while suppressing one's aura to the lowest possible level.

If you encounter a strong opponent of the same or even higher level, you will have a good chance of escaping.

The only cost is that it will cause a significant loss of vital essence after use, requiring a considerable amount of time to recover.

Fan Lao escaped using the "Blood Mist Escape," but what about his son? Son?

Fan Lao did indeed Fan Ling very much, after all, he was his own flesh and blood, and his only son.

But Fan Lao was also very good at understanding the situation.

It's better for Fan Ling to die than for the father and son to die together!

Although Fan Lao was also getting old, he was still Dou Emperor and had a long lifespan ahead of him.

If it's gone, then it will regenerate!

However, Fan Lao had made up his mind.

Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'm going to marry him with twenty-eight wives and concubines all at once!

I only take two days off a month.

Give birth! Give birth with all your might!

If this happens again, at least we won't lose all our children and be unable to preserve our bloodline.

Ling Ying seemed to have no intention of pursuing, and turned around to give a salute in mid-air.

After receiving Xiao Xun'er's nod of confirmation, Ling Ying disappeared.

Ling Ying's mission is to protect Xiao Xun'er, so he will never stray too far from Xiao Xun'er in order to pursue Fan Lao.

Unless Xiao Xun'er gives the order herself.

But Xiao Xun'er clearly didn't take Fan Lao seriously.

They're all minor characters, insignificant.

Yang Shan pointed to the sky. "Senior, who is that?"

Xiao Xun'er whispered:

"My father had some connection with this elder who had already retired from the academy. I never expected that he would actually come out with me this time."

Yang Shan pretended to suddenly realize:

"Senior, this retired elder was able to beat Fan Lao so badly that he didn't even have a chance to fight back, and he was even secretly following you. It seems that your father is a very important person!"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and said, "She only has a little bit of status."

Only Xiao Xun'er, her own daughter, dared to say that her father, Gu Yuan, had "some status".

After finishing her business, Ling Ying nodded to Xiao Xun'er below, then glanced at Yang Shan before disappearing into a cloud of black mist.

Yang Shan did not press the matter further.

No matter how you ask, Xiao Xun'er will never reveal her true identity.

Let's deal with Fan Ling first.

His Dou Qi aura shield shattered, and the fear of death and despair gripped Fan Ling's heart. He frantically thrashed about on the ground.

"Wait! Wait!"

Yang Shan couldn't understand why these NPCs all liked to say "wait a minute" before they died.

Waiting for a damn thing!

Having completely lost his composure, Fan Ling no longer had the courage to resist, and Yang Shan did not intentionally try to torment Fan Ling.

Thunder Spirit Flash activated.

Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills!

He chopped off Fan Ling's head with a single stroke.

Yang Shan silently recited in his heart:

"At the speed you were going, you shouldn't have felt any pain, so in return, it's only fair that you drop more damage!"

[Ding! Player has defeated Fan Ling (Purple Word Seal; One Star Dou Wang), with a kill contribution rate of 32%. Player has gained 32,000 experience points.]

It takes 300,000 experience points to advance Dou Wang One Star Dou Wang yields 100,000 experience points even with full contribution! Moreover, as your level increases, the experience gained from killing lower-level Dou Wang will decrease!

Once players reach the Dou Wang stage, their progress will be significantly slowed down. Without acquiring truly powerful equipment or Dou Technique, even leveling up will be a major problem.

Fan Ling's body turned into white light.

The Spirit Stone were so plentiful they resembled the stone lions in front of a wealthy mansion.

Yang Shan turned around and smiled:

"Senior, it's all settled. What do you want? You can pick first!"

Xiao Xun'er shook her head:

"No need, I just want to teach him a lesson. You can take it yourself."

Good heavens! Xiao Xun'er's words were truly understated.

Yang Shan felt that he needed to learn about it.

I'll definitely need this when I want to show off in the future.

Xiao Xun'er, that rich woman, probably won't get the good stuff in her Storage Ring anymore in the next version! It's perfectly normal that she doesn't care about Fan Ling's drops.

Yang Shan did not collect the loot for the time being, but instead looked through Fan Ling's guaranteed kill loot list.

No Scarlet Spirit Gold! That means the Scarlet Spirit Gold was among Fan Ling's "random drops"! Good, good, good, that last move, "Tyrant Blade - Seven Kills," wasn't wasted. Relationships between people should be like Fan Ling's, with give and take!

Fan Ling has a lot of good stuff here. Yang Shan even found Mystic Rank Advanced Dou Skills with Purple Word Seal.

But compared to "Three Thousand Thunder Movement", none of these things matter.

It's a pity that these items, which might fetch tens of thousands of RMB on the Auction House, will soon follow in the footsteps of their owners and be transformed back into data.

After Yang Shan clicked to confirm, the manual for "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" appeared in his hand.

Xiao Xun'er stepped forward and gently reminded him:

"Junior brother, I've heard that the ' Three Thousand Thunder Movement ' is Secret Dou Skill of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, a top power in Central Plains. It's not easily passed on to outsiders. If you ever go to Central Plains in the future, you must be careful when using it, otherwise you might be hunted down by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion."

Yang Shan: "Okay, senior, don't worry, I'm a very cautious person."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Shan collected all the fallen items and Spirit Stone into his Storage Ring.

The system shows that there are two items in total.

One of them was the Scarlet Spirit Gold Yang Shan planned to use to make a pink Cauldron for Little Yao Xi.

The other item is the "Blood Devouring Scripture" ( with Purple Word Seal).

Rank: Earth Tier Low Grade! What a good person! Young Sect Master Fan Ling is truly a straightforward and generous good person! Yang Shan made his decision.

From now on, unless there is some deep-seated hatred or intense loathing for the NPC, he will give them a quick death.

He only hoped that the other party could be as generous as Young Master Fan Ling in returning the favor!

No wonder he is one of the most important "experience points" for the protagonist Xiao Yan in the original novel!

It's a pity that this "Blood Devouring Scripture" is Blood Attribute technique mutated from Water Attribute, and it seems that only Zhu Tianpeng in Yang Shan Company can use it.

However, Zhu Tianpeng himself is a true Water Attribute, and he follows an extremely rare but exceptionally powerful defensive path.

Although the Blood Devouring Scripture can be learned, it does not align with Zhu Tianpeng's path of development.

Besides, Zhu Tianpeng probably can't afford this thing right now!

This is a cultivation technique! Its value far surpasses that of Dou Technique! Xiao Xun'er: "Junior brother, can we start our journey now?"

Yang Shan: "Um, there's one more small matter."

Xiao Xun'er pondered for a moment:

"That Wind Harp?"

Yang Shan scratched his head:

"Senior, you're so smart. Nothing can be hidden from you."

Just then, Su Yitang sent a message.

It's a screenshot of Wind Harp! In addition, there's Su Yitang's voice. "Boss, ugh, this elder is really too stingy. Besides Wind Harp, he only has a Mystic Rank Advanced Skill with Purple Word Seal."

Yang Shan was shocked:

How did you get it?

Su Yitang: "I've been following her, and that's when I saw your dashing figure!"

Yang Shan: "You followed me all this way without telling me?"

Su Yitang: "I only knew you were going to hunt down Fan Ling first, but I didn't know she was also going to hunt down Fan Ling. When I arrived, seeing your handsome sword-wielding and dashing back, I forgot all about it for a moment."

Yang Shan: "Women's words are deceitful, I don't believe them!"

Su Yitang: "Okay, as expected, nothing can be hidden from the boss!"

Su Yitang recounted what happened.

Actually, the process wasn't complicated at all.

Fan Lao suddenly appeared and displayed his extraordinary prowess, fighting against many opponents single-handedly.

Su Yitang simply hid in the shadows and sang.

Anyway, those Dou Wang wouldn't take a Dou Ling seriously.

Seeing that the Six-Star Dou Wang of the Black Skull Tomb, whose wood attribute had been shattered by Fan Lao Dou Qi Armor and had been hit by a Blood Qi attack, was seriously injured.

Su Yitang decisively unleashed her Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, "Wind Zenith Sound," which amplified her attack by up to twenty times, instantly killing the Wood-attribute Dou Wang before he could react!

Su Yitang swallowed a fourth-grade Gale Pill, activated her movement technique, and before anyone could react, snatched the Wood-attribute Dou Wang's loot and ran away! The other Dou Wang had to be wary of Fan Lao.

Fan Lao didn't want to let these Dou Wang go for the sake of a Dou Ling, so he only arranged for three Dou Ling to go after them.

Then Su Yitang killed all three Dou Ling!

As a result, Su Yitang's level soared to Nine Star Dou Ling, and she also gained a lot of experience points! If Su Yitang is willing to consume the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and trigger the experience-boosting effect, she might even be able to break through to Dou Wang in a short period of time!

"Okay, then I won't have to make the special trip."

Su Yitang: "Hehe, a humble employee should share the boss's burdens and not cause the boss any trouble."

Yang Shan: "Do you think I don't know you? You just don't want me to get any of the spoils! You little money-grubber!"

Yang Shan hadn't expected Su Yitang to be so bold.

He dared to finish off the weak and take advantage of the chaos in the battle between a Dou Emperor and many Dou Wang.

But it must be admitted that Su Yitang's skills are indeed superb.

The performance of "Wind Zenith Sound" was virtually invincible.

Its extremely high burst damage is comparable to a god-like skill that transcends levels.

Among Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, perhaps only the Golden Word Seal Dou Technique, which also pursues explosive power, can surpass "Wind Zenith Sound".

For example, the Flame Splitting Tsunami Ruler used by Xiao Yan, the protagonist of the original novel.

The Wind Harp is Low-Grade Spirit Artifact, a whole level better than the Thunderbolt Blade in Yang Shan's hand! With Su Yitang's strength greatly increased, Yang Shan was not worried at all about Su Yitang's subsequent leveling efficiency.

She can now even go out alone to find some Dou Wang with Blue Word Seal to "farm experience"! In the Black-Corner Region, Su Yitang will definitely be able to break through the Dou Wang threshold in a short time!

After closing the chat window, Yang Shan said:

"Alright, senior, let's stick to the original plan."

Xiao Xun'er asked in confusion, "Don't you want the Wind Harp?"

Yang Shan: "My friend has probably already set her sights on Wind Harp, and I believe she can handle it."

Xiao Xun'er nodded as usual:

"Yes, it's up to you."

Fan Ling's matter can be considered to have come to an end, Yang Shan has truly made a fortune this time.

As for that Fan Lao, let him hate us. After a while, we'll level him up and then call on three loyal employees to "take care of" him.

A mere Four Star Dou Huang, does he really think he can turn the world upside down?

The two used their Dou Qi Transformation Wings and quickly arrived at Rakshasa City, which was not too far away.

This was the place the two had planned to stay in advance.

After resting, Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er will embark on a true "trip for two" with the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning as their final destination! Of course, before that, Yang Shan needs to take stock of his gains.

The Naling must be retrieved.

It's best to learn "Three Thousand Thunder Movement" as soon as possible; you might be able to practice your proficiency along the way.

Of course, Yang Shan also went to the Auction House in Rakshasa City and put the "Blood Devouring Scripture" up for auction.

Set a minimum price:

1,000,000 RMB!

For the super-rich! A luxury apartment or a villa – the choice is yours!
