A Vivid Lesson

Bang!

Xiao Han sent the Third Boss flying with a single palm strike.

The Third Boss's body bounced twice across the ground before finally coming to a stop.

"Third Boss!"

Several Black Wolf Gang members saw the Third Boss collapse and hurried over to help him up. They checked his breathing, then cried out in shock, "The Third Boss is dead!"

"What?"

Black Wolf flew into a rage. If his eyes could devour people, Xiao Han would have already been torn into eight pieces.

Silence!

The scene was utterly silent!

Everyone stared at Xiao Han. Who could have imagined that such a young-looking lad would erupt with such terrifying combat strength? With one palm strike, he had killed the Third Boss, whom they had struggled against before.

One had to know that the Third Boss was a Two-star Dou Zhe!

"Kid, I underestimated you!"

Black Wolf's clothes and hair fluttered as Dou Qi surged through his entire body. He stepped toward Xiao Han, his face dark. "I never expected that you'd already become a Dou Zhe at such a young age. But you killed my third brother. Even if it costs me my life today, I'll avenge him!"

Three Slash Cut

Having learned from the previous example, Black Wolf no longer underestimated Xiao Han. He swung three slashes in succession, forcing Xiao Han to retreat step by step.

"Haha, this kid is dead for sure. Our gang leader is a Four-star Dou Zhe."

"What the hell are you laughing for? The Third Boss is dead, and you can still laugh? Still, this kid is definitely dead."

"But where did this kid come from? He's already a Dou Zhe at such a young age."

The more clear-headed members of the Black Wolf Gang had already grown curious about Xiao Han's identity, but Black Wolf clearly had not.

"Father, what do we do? Think of something and save him!" Chen Xiangxiang asked anxiously.

Save him?

How could they save him? The entire caravan was surrounded by Black Wolf Gang members. They simply could not help Xiao Han.

"Too slow!"

While Chen Xiangxiang was worried sick, Xiao Han remained unhurried. With the difference in their cultivation realms, the Black Wolf Gang's leader was no match for him at all.

"It's only a Yellow Rank Intermediate Dou Technique. Disappointing!"

Bang!

Xiao Han struck with his palm, sending the Black Wolf Gang's leader staggering back three steps. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He had originally wanted to extract Black Wolf's Dou Technique. To his disappointment, the highest-grade technique Black Wolf had used was merely Yellow Rank Intermediate. It was beneath his notice.

"What terrifying combat strength!" Black Wolf's heart tightened. He realized that he had actually been unable to keep up with Xiao Han's movements just now.

As he watched Xiao Han approach step by step, Black Wolf's heart clenched. Reason told him that he was no match for the young man before him.

"Don't, don't kill me!" Black Wolf finally broke down. He threw away his weapon and knelt before Xiao Han. Who wasn't afraid of death? He begged, "Please, don't kill me!"

Xiao Han looked at Black Wolf disdainfully and said flatly, "What, you're not avenging your third brother anymore?"

"Revenge? What revenge? He wasn't even my real brother. Why should I avenge him?" After saying that, Black Wolf pleaded again, "Don't kill me. As long as you spare me, I'll take my men and leave. We won't trouble you again!"

"Get lost!" Xiao Han barked coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Retreat, retreat! Everyone, retreat!"

Black Wolf rose to his feet and waved at the Black Wolf Gang members. Yet he himself showed no intention of leaving. Once he saw Xiao Han lower his guard, he slowly turned around and moved toward the caravan.

From this angle, Xiao Han had his back to him.

A smile curled across Black Wolf's lips. He rushed forward like the wind, drew his sword, and stabbed at Xiao Han. Haha, you're still too young. Hmph, since you're this strong, you must possess a high-grade cultivation technique. Once I kill you, everything will be mine.

"Watch out!"

Chen Xiangxiang, who had been watching Xiao Han closely, cried out in alarm.

"Master, watch out!"

At the same time, System Xiao Ai also cried out.

Xiao Han did not need to look to know what the fierce wind coming from behind was.

There was too little time to dodge the sneak attack from behind. In his urgency, Xiao Han stretched out his palm toward a large tree beside him.

Palm Absorption

A powerful suction force erupted from his palm. Under the resulting force, Xiao Han's body shifted sideways. At that moment, Black Wolf's blade point pierced through the spot where he had originally been standing.

"Uh..."

Black Wolf stared blankly at Xiao Han. Even such an ambush had been avoided by him.

"You..." Xiao Han thought carefully, and dread rose in his heart. He glared furiously at Black Wolf.

If he had not reacted quickly and happened to possess such a Dou Technique, he might have died beneath the other man's sword just now. His face darkened as he said in a low voice, "I intended to spare your life, yet you still dared to sneak attack me!"

Under Xiao Han's fierce gaze, Black Wolf trembled uncontrollably. Then he turned and tried to flee.

Palm Absorption

It was already too late. While running, Black Wolf suddenly felt a powerful pull from behind. Then his body flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground, the impact nearly splitting his buttocks apart.

Sshk!

With a kick from Xiao Han, a sword lying on the ground shot forward and pierced through Black Wolf's body.

I'm still too young. This is a world where people devour people! Xiao Han concluded inwardly.

Black Wolf's actions had taught him a vivid lesson. After searching Black Wolf, he found only four or five hundred gold coins. He then walked over to the caravan and politely asked, "Hello, I'm lost. May I ask how to get to Qingshan Town?"

"Lost?"

A middle-aged man stepped out from the caravan and looked Xiao Han over from head to toe.

Although Xiao Han was young, compared with others his age, there was an extra trace of maturity in his expression and less childishness. The man asked, "Little brother, are you heading to Qingshan Town?"

"Yes."

"Hehe..." The middle-aged man chuckled softly, clutching his chest as he said, "Thank you for saving our lives, little brother. We are a caravan bound for Youmen Village. I am the Family Head of the Chen Family of Youmen Village. To reach Qingshan Town, you must pass through Youmen Village. Our Youmen Village is the closest village to Qingshan Town. There are several forks in the road ahead. To keep you from getting lost again, why not travel with us?"

"This..." Xiao Han hesitated.

He looked the middle-aged man up and down.

The middle-aged man's cultivation was not low either; he was a Dou Zhe. However, his speech lacked strength, and he was clearly injured. Having learned from the earlier incident, Xiao Han instinctively remained wary of the caravan.

"Little brother, you saved our lives just now. Come with us. Once we return to Youmen Village, we can properly repay you for saving us," the middle-aged man sincerely invited Xiao Han again.

"Yes." At this moment, the young woman beside the middle-aged man also said, "You saved our lives, so come with us. You have to pass through Youmen Village to reach Qingshan Town anyway. Let my father properly repay you!"

Xiao Han looked at the young woman.

When Black Wolf had stabbed at him earlier, she had also warned him. His first impression of her was fairly good.

Besides, just as the middle-aged man had said, if he traveled alone, he might very well get lost again. Xiao Han immediately nodded. "Mm. All right! Since you've invited me so sincerely, I'd be rude to refuse!"
