Wearing Out Iron Shoes

A gentleman never lets a grudge go unavenged!

Xiao Bai still minded the fact that he had failed to break Hemon's defenses, the meat shield, before.

However, after this enhancement, he no longer thought much of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Within the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, aside from Mu She, who was one level above him, everyone else was trash. Even if he stood still and let them attack, they probably would not be able to break his Dou Qi Gauze Robe.

Possessing a Dou Qi Gauze Robe meant that a person had entered the Dou Shi realm, becoming a minor boss capable of terrorizing an area.

Take Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He was a Two Star Dou Shi, yet he ran rampant through Qingshan Town, and no one dared cross him.

That was the strength of a Dou Shi!

After testing his two new Dou Techniques and checking the changes in his body, Xiao Bai found that his injuries were no longer a concern. He then resumed his treasure-hunting journey.

As for those who opposed him, they were no longer his match. He was in no hurry. Once he found that cave and obtained those treasures, it would not be too late to deal with them afterward.

It was not that Xiao Bai had become arrogant. This was simply the confidence his strength had given him.

Sometimes, heaven liked to play jokes on people. The things one did not want to happen often went against one's wishes and happened anyway.

And that was exactly the case now. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's men had actually appeared.

"Kid, stop right there! Who are you?"

"I'm talking to you! What are you doing here?"

A group of mercenaries surrounded the solitary Xiao Bai, insisting that he give them an explanation, like a pack of wolves encircling a little lamb.

They had done this sort of thing countless times, so they handled it with practiced ease, without the slightest flaw, as though it came naturally to them.

"What I do and who I am—what the hell does that have to do with you?"

Xiao Bai mocked them coolly, treating the danger before him as though it were nothing.

His words immediately stirred up a storm, and the group exploded into an uproar.

"What? What an arrogant brat!"

"You dare act so cocky all by yourself? Kill him!"

"That's right! He has no respect at all for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

The mercenaries immediately began chattering, each one rubbing his fists and brandishing his weapons as they clamored to teach the boy a lesson.

"Quiet!"

Not long afterward, a young man who appeared to be their leader stepped forward. Frowning, he looked Xiao Bai up and down.

"Little brother, I am Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. My men were rather offensive with their words just now. Please forgive them, considering they are rough men who do not understand proper manners."

"Eh? Little brother, you look somewhat familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

This young man was none other than Mu Li.

He seemed to have only just noticed the issue and asked curiously.

"Perhaps. I am Xiao Bai."

Xiao Bai replied calmly and indifferently.

When the mercenaries had mentioned that they belonged to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Xiao Bai had heard them—and heard them very clearly.

With Xiao Bai's powerful soul force, none of their conversation escaped him. Every word entered his ears without omission.

Afterward, Xiao Bai had deliberately sensed the strength of this group. They were merely at the Dou Zhe realm.

In Xiao Bai's current eyes, these people were nothing but clay chickens and porcelain dogs, utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow.

So why should he care about their attitude? Besides, they were enemies. When it was time to be arrogant, he would be arrogant.

If one could not be arrogant after becoming strong, then strength would have no meaning at all!

Upon hearing the words of the white-clad youth before him, Mu Li scrutinized him while thinking. Where had he seen him before?

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, Xiao..." Mu Li muttered.

"The surname Xiao, a youth..."

"Hm? You're Xiao Bai!"

Mu Li seemed to have recalled something and stared at the person before him in shock.

"That's right, it's me." Xiao Bai still wore an unconcerned expression as he spoke calmly.

He knew that his true identity could no longer be concealed, and there was no need to conceal it anyway.

After letting out a startled cry, Mu Li immediately pulled a sheet of white paper from inside his shirt. A person was drawn on it—a youth.

The youth wore white robes, his long black hair tied back with a golden band. It fluttered in the breeze, making him seem illusory and ethereal.

His handsome face wore a faint upward curl at the lips, and his arrogant expression added several more shades of pride.

Comparing the person in the portrait to the youth before him, aside from their differing expressions, the rest of the description was basically identical.

Mu Li could thus determine that the person before him was the one they had been searching for.

"Hahaha! We wore out iron shoes searching everywhere, only to find it without any effort. Xiao Bai, your day of death has come! I'll make you pay for insulting the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"

Mu Li felt that victory was already in his grasp, and he laughed excitedly.

According to the intelligence they had received, Xiao Bai had only just entered the Dou Zhe realm. Even if he was stronger than that, he would at most be a Two Star Dou Zhe.

Every member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was in the Dou Zhe realm, and there were even several Six Star and Seven Star Dou Zhe among them. Thus, he was completely at ease.

Even if they did not swarm him, enough ants could kill an elephant. In terms of individual strength alone, Xiao Bai still could not compare to them.

That was why Mu Li was so confident. Surrounded in the middle, Xiao Bai would not be able to escape even if he grew wings.

"Attack! Get him! Chop him to death, and use his blood to wash away our humiliation!"

Mu Li waved his hand, signaling all his subordinates to attack.

"Good!"

Xiao Bai shouted furiously. Rather than retreating, he charged forward, rushing straight toward the oncoming crowd.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

For a moment, cries of agony rang out without end. Figure after figure was sent flying, tossed out of the battle zone and crashing to the ground, leaving the area filled with wails.

"This..."

Mu Li was stunned. Looking at the men writhing on the ground, his heart turned bleak.

He swore to himself that if this kind of strength counted as having just entered the Dou Zhe realm, then he would never be able to reach a higher realm for the rest of his life.

Mu Li had that much confidence. He believed his judgment could not be wrong.

Looking at the mercenaries lying miserably beaten on the ground, he finally could not hold back any longer. Since he could not win, he could only call for reinforcements.

Tweet...

A crisp whistle suddenly rang out, piercing through the crowd and crossing the dense forest to carry into the distance.

At the same time, a whistle sounded from the distant woods in response to the first.

Bang!

A figure slammed heavily down beside Mu Li's feet, making his body tremble in fright.

When he came back to his senses and looked around, no one was left standing. All his subordinates had been knocked to the ground, leaving him as a commander without an army.

"I'm telling you, I've already called for help. You'd better let me go right now, or you'll be dead soon enough."

Even at this moment, Mu Li remained arrogant, showing no sign of yielding as he directly threatened him.

What was with this chapter? Was it throwing a tantrum at me? It even gave me an untitled chapter. I changed it several times already. If it is still like this, then so be it! I do not want to change it anymore!
