Killing Intent

Killing Intent

Liu Xi stroked his snow-white sleeve and said smugly, "Heh, what does the Xiao Clan count for? If I want, I can increase the scale of my refining and lower my alchemy fees, so your Xiao Clan Market never gets another bit of business. When the time comes, you'll definitely go bankrupt, sell off your properties, and disappear from Wutan City."

Xun Er looked coldly at Liu Xi and parted her little mouth. "Dumbass. Even if you're an alchemist, you're still a dumbass alchemist. Trash belongs in the trash can. There's one over there—jump in yourself, and don't pollute the environment."

The scene fell instantly silent. Everyone present stared, dumbfounded, at the Maiden who was like a Green Lotus.

What happened to rising unstained from the mud, washed by clear ripples without turning seductive?! It seemed Xiao Yan's influence was even stronger than filthy mud. Even Xun Er had been led astray.

Xiao Yu slapped her own forehead and said with a worried face, "Xun Er, those who stay near vermilion become red, those who stay near ink become black. Don't get close to that little pervert."

Liu Xi, who had often been flattered because he had become an alchemist, had never heard anyone belittle him like this. His face immediately darkened, and his eyes filled with a thick, obscene wickedness as he roared, "Go! Seize these two women and take them back to the manor!"

Beside him, Galio's eyelids twitched wildly when he heard this. Was this man mentally deficient?! He was saying this kind of thing out in the street?! Although Wutan City was divided among three great clans, it also had a city lord, and in the end, this place belonged to the Jia Ma Empire! This kind of abducting women was unquestionably illegal. Couldn't he at least say it secretly at night!!

Galio glanced around, then gave a look to the dozen or so guards beside him who had Dou Zhe strength.

The dozen or so burly guards nodded subtly and used their bodies to form a circle, blocking the bystanders' line of sight.

Seeing the other side act so arrogantly, Xiao Yu was so furious that her willow brows stood on end. Her Jade Hand drew her Personal Sword from her waist, and she slashed fiercely at the Big Man lunging toward her. With a whoosh, a long bloody mark appeared across the latter's chest, and fresh blood instantly dyed the Big Man's clothes red.

Although Xiao Yu was a Three-Star Dou Zhe, the other side's dozen-plus Big Men also had the strength of Dou Zhe. In the end, Xiao Yu's two fists could not fend off four hands.

After once again blasting a Big Man into spitting blood with a palm, Xiao Yu turned and shouted at Xiao Ning, "Take Xun Er and go! Call that little pervert over!"

"Sigh, can't you speak properly in the middle of the street? You're ruining my reputation." A leisurely voice came from the distance, a voice so familiar in the Xiao Clan Market.

The moment the words fell, several heavy blows rang out. The dozen or so Big Men who had been surrounding Xun Er and the others were sent flying one after another like scattered heavenly maidens. Some hung from shops, some hung from trees, and some lay on the ground wailing.

With both hands clasped behind his back, Xiao Yan walked over step by step.

The Xiao Clan Market itself had many guards, but at this moment, Xiao Yan had come alone, without a single guard behind him.

But that was enough.

"Having an alchemist like you truly shames every alchemist." Xiao Yan's gaze turned somewhat cold as he glanced at Liu Xi and Galio opposite him.

"It's Young Master Xiao Yan!"

"Damn, he's so strong. He dealt with so many low-level Dou Zhe in an instant."

Xiao Yu's little mouth parted slightly. Some time ago, Xiao Yan really had shown mercy. Otherwise, she could not possibly have left safe and sound.

Xiao Yan took out a medicine bottle filled with deep-red paste and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying softly, "This is Blood Coagulation Powder. Apply it to the wound. It won't leave a scar."

Only then did Xiao Yu discover that at some point, a cut had been opened on her lower leg.

Xiao Yu snatched the medicine bottle away and Gave a Sideways Glance at Xiao Yan. "Your eyes really do like wandering everywhere."

Xiao Ning walked to Xiao Yan's side, pointed at Liu Xi, and said in a low voice, "Young Clan Leader, that's the First-Rank Alchemist."

Xiao Yan looked at Liu Xi and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes at all. "If I kill you now, the city lord probably won't say anything, and it'll also save a lot of trouble."

Galio was abruptly startled! Back then, when Xiao Yan and Xun Er had gone to someone else's territory, they had also been ambushed, but Xiao Yan had been strong enough to retreat unharmed. But now Xiao Yan was already six-star!

"You dare kill me?! Do you know who my Master is?!" Liu Xi's strength was not even equal to Galio's, but from that temper, someone who didn't know better might think he was a Da Dou Shi.

Xiao Yan forcefully held back his laughter. "Why should I care who your Master is? Unless he can appear here right now, I'm afraid you won't be going back to see the old man."

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and a surge of Killing Intent emerged.

Only then did Galio react. Xiao Yan was serious! "Hao!"

Galio let out a roar, and a Middle-aged Man holding an iron staff dropped down from above, blocking Xiao Yan's path.

"He's the one-star Dou Shi Zhang Hao! He only joined the Galio Clan's guard team as vice-captain this year!"

"Young Master Xiao Yan is still too young. If he were given a few more years, he would definitely reach Dou Shi."

Liu Xi laughed sinisterly, his covetous gaze lingering on Xun Er. Then he glared viciously at Xiao Yan and said, "Kid, I'll make your Xiao Clan take the initiative to deliver her to me! No woman I set my eyes on has ever escaped my grasp."

Never mind Xiao Yan—even Xun Er, who had always stayed aloof from worldly conflict, was angered by those words. Her eyes also carried a strand of golden Killing Intent.

Xiao Yan rolled his neck, then suddenly shot forward with a fierce step. "As expected, you should still die here."

"Dou Shi. Is that very impressive?"

Whoosh! Xiao Yan leaped high, the strength of his entire body condensing into his right knee.

The strongest part of Eight Extremities Collapse was not the fists, but the legs and knees! After all, the strength of the legs was five times that of the hands! Eight Extremities Collapse—Eight Extremities Knee Thrust! Zhang Hao looked at Xiao Yan, who was as furious as a fierce tiger descending a mountain. That sharp killing intent made him feel the same sensation of death he had felt back then when he had been hunted by a second-rank Magical Beast. It was also because of that incident that he had chosen to join the Galio Clan.

Boom! Xiao Yan flew up, his knee striking the iron staff in Zhang Hao's hands. The finely made solid iron staff bent completely, and eight layers of hidden force surged like ocean waves, slamming into Zhang Hao's chest.

All eight layers of hidden force erupted together. Zhang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground like a kite flying backward, his Life and Death unknown.

Liu Xi and Galio's faces had long since turned incomparably pale. Was he really a Dou Zhe!! Why could he defeat a Dou Shi??? What Combat Technique was he cultivating! Why was it so fierce!

Xun Er frowned and thought, Strange. It's only been two months, so how has Xiao Yan Gege's strength increased again? Did he take some powerful Medicinal Pill? But where did his Medicinal Pills come from?

Galio felt like he was going insane. He had spent more than a year, close to two years, plus all sorts of Medicinal Pills as support, before finally rising from one-star to Three-Star Dou Zhe. He had thought he could challenge Xiao Yan, but two months ago, he had been told that Xiao Yan's strength had reached six-star at the Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

Only now did he discover that the other party not only had a high Cultivation Level, but had also trained his Combat Technique to perfection. His battle power was actually even stronger than a Dou Shi! This battle across ranks left everyone present unable to recover their senses. So it was really possible to fight across ranks??

Xiao Yan looked toward Galio and Liu Xi. That cold-faced youth made even some mercenaries who had spent years licking blood from blades feel a chill in their hearts.

The current Xiao Yan and the Xiao Yan who smiled and greeted everyone everywhere could not be overlapped at all!

"Rest easy on your way. In your next life, remember to keep your mouth clean."
