"Hand over the goods!"
Mu Li snorted coldly.
Fine sweat beaded on Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian's faces. They exchanged a glance, then silently retreated to a corner of the cave, away from the Ice Coffin.
"Hm?"
Mu Li frowned, unable to tell what the two were up to.
"Hey..."
Just as he was about to speak, a terrifying aura rose from within the Ice Coffin.
"Who? Who dares disturb my slumber!"
"Boom!"
The shattered Ice Coffin exploded completely, countless shards of ice surging outward. The youth sleeping within opened his violet-gray eyes. Dressed in white, his handsome features made him seem like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal realm.
Even Xiao Yan, a man himself, was stunned for a moment.
Yet at that moment, the handsome face was filled with bone-chilling fury!
"Teacher, can you defeat this ancient expert?"
Xiao Yan asked anxiously in his heart.
"Perhaps we should try negotiating first..."
Old Yao was uneasy as well. From the aura alone, he had already judged the current cultivation of this expert from a thousand years ago.
Just as he had guessed earlier, even though he had awakened ahead of time and had not fully recovered his cultivation, this expert from a thousand years ago still retained the cultivation of a Dou Huang.
A Nine-Star Dou Huang!
That was the youth's current cultivation!
"If I disregard the consumption of Soul Power, I can indeed rival a Nine-Star Dou Huang for a short time and get Xiao Yan and that girl out... but is this man's combat power truly only at the Dou Huang level?"
Old Yao's expression was grave.
"Who are you?"
Mu Li's expression changed drastically. No matter how slow-witted he was, he knew he had provoked an extraordinary expert!
"Ant, was it you who disturbed this sect master's slumber?"
Su Yun's expression was icy, though deep in his eyes flashed the satisfaction of being reborn.
He was a transmigrator. While crossing the street, an urgent screech of brakes and blaring horn had sent him on his way.
After arriving in the Dou Qi Continent, Su Yun discovered that his aptitude was not particularly outstanding. Fortunately, he had his own cheat.
The Lies System! Practice Falsehood to Achieve Truth—the more you believed, the more real he became!
As long as the lies Su Yun fabricated were believed by others, they would become reality!
"It wasn't in vain that I spent five years, with the system's help, disguising this cave dwelling as the burial site of a Woeful Poison Body from a thousand years ago, and fabricating a character history and abilities.
"Now that Old Yao, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian all believe it, I have truly become the perfect Woeful Poison Body, possessing the Nether Poison Flame and unafraid of a poison body outbreak!"
Su Yun was exhilarated. It had not been easy for him to get this far.
Ding! Your lie has made Old Yao, Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and Ling Ying completely believe it. The lie has become reality. Obtained 100000 Truth Points. Evaluation: A dwarf borrows light, and a giant shadow is cast upon the wall; a floating shadow deceives men, and bare bones become a king! Remaining Truth Points: 100404
"Hm?"
Su Yun's expression shifted slightly.
Meanwhile, Mu Li was still trying to argue his way out of it.
"It wasn't me!"
Mu Li looked terrified and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Not you?"
Su Yun's expression was calm. With a beckon of his hand, a broken spear shaft lying amid a pile of ice shards flew into his palm.
Several small words were carved into the wooden spear shaft.
"Wolf Head Mercenary Group..."
Su Yun's gaze was sharp as lightning, frost rising on his face.
Mu Li instinctively looked at his exposed chest, where a conspicuous wolf-head tattoo was engraved!
"Kill him! Everyone, attack! Otherwise, none of us will get out alive!"
Mu Li shouted, determined to make a desperate last stand!
"A mayfly trying to shake a tree, yet unaware of its own insignificance."
Su Yun lightly swept his sleeve, and purple mist appeared from thin air. A few breaths later, it engulfed every member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
"Aah!"
Cries of agony rang out as Mu Li and the others watched their bodies melt away at a visible rate, turning into white bones!
Xiao Yan was dumbfounded. This was the power of a Dou Huang! With a casual wave of his hand, he could kill without a trace!
"And the two of you."
Su Yun looked toward Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian, his eyes shifting as though he were considering how to deal with them.
Xiao Yan hurriedly said, "Lord Dou Zong, this has nothing to do with us! It was the Wolf Head Mercenary Group who disturbed your slumber!"
"Lies and truth are meaningless. Since you stand here now, you cannot escape involvement."
Su Yun's expression turned cold.
Old Yao sensed trouble. "He was awakened ahead of time, his cultivation has plummeted, and he has nowhere to vent his pent-up fury. No matter how eloquently you speak, it will be useless!"
"Go repent in the Nine Nether Yellow Springs."
Su Yun slightly raised a finger. Dou Qi gathered at his fingertip, destructive power brewing within it.
"Whoosh!"
At the critical moment, a shadow swept into the cave, and three pitch-black Short Blades shot toward Su Yun!
Su Yun curled his lips into a smile. His finger shifted direction, and Dou Qi transformed into a Purple-Green Streamer that suddenly shot forth!
"I've been waiting for you, you sneaking rat!"
"Boom!"
The Dou Qi streamer easily shattered the three Short Blades. Its power undiminished, it flew toward the black shadow!
Ling Ying's heart jolted. He unleashed his movement Dou Technique, transforming into nine ghostly figures that shot in every direction.
"Nine Ghost Flashes!"
But something that shocked Ling Ying happened. That plain, unadorned Dou Qi streamer had firmly locked onto his true body and pursued him relentlessly!
"What?!"
Su Yun clenched his hand, and the Dou Qi streamer's speed suddenly surged!
"Boom!"
A heaven-shaking energy wave erupted, whipping up a Level 18 Hurricane throughout the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Trees toppled, wild beasts fled in terror, and massive boulders rolled down from the mountaintops.
Several dozen breaths later, the aftershocks gradually faded. Ling Ying spread a pair of black Dou Qi Wings, his figure appearing in midair. He was in terrible condition, his upper garments shredded and his body covered in blood.
Su Yun stepped out of the cave. Wings of emerald poison fire slowly unfurled behind him as he said indifferently, "Junior, who are you?"
"Heh, you would be better off not knowing my identity."
Ling Ying put on a tough front, but inwardly, he was deeply wary.
Though they had exchanged only one move, he already understood that he was absolutely no match for Su Yun.
Forget taking Xiao Yan away—he himself might die here!
The sudden turn of events left Xiao Yan at a loss. "Teacher, could it be that a Dou Huang has been following us?"
Old Yao said, "More or less. That Dou Huang is here to protect you."
"Huh?"
"I had not intended to tell you about this, but things have reached this point, so there is no helping it.
"That little girlfriend of yours has no simple background. That Dou Huang was originally by her side. After you left to train, he has been following behind you ever since. It was probably your little girlfriend's order."
Xiao Yan was even more confused. Just what was Xun'er's background?
"No, since that old gentleman is here to protect me, I can't just stand by and watch. Teacher, help me!"
Xiao Yan said solemnly.
"Even if I join forces with that Dou Huang, we might not be his match..."
"Then what should we do?"
Xiao Yan looked anxious.
Old Yao furrowed his brow. "Very well. Do as I say, and there may still be a chance to turn things around."
Meanwhile, high in the sky, the two had exchanged several more moves in a short time. Ling Ying's face had turned purple, and his limbs had grown stiff—clear symptoms of deep poisoning!
"The Woeful Poison Body is actually this terrifying..."
Ling Ying prided himself on being from the Gu Clan. Even if he was merely a servant with an outside surname, the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques he practiced were considered first-rate on the continent. Yet before the man in front of him, he had no power to resist at all.
