At Liu Xi's gesture, the two Da Dou Shi guards who had accompanied him closed in menacingly.
"Though I truly do not wish to kill anyone, take one more step closer and you will die."
A cluster of golden flames rose within Xun Er's eyes, and her aura surged higher and higher.
"What Secret Technique is this? It can raise her strength from the ninth stage of Dou Qi to a Dou Shi in such a short time?"
As they watched Xun Er, her long hair cascading like a waterfall and an air of danger radiating from her, greed appeared on the two Da Dou Shi's faces.
"Master Liu, you can have your way with this woman, but the Secret Technique she used belongs to us!"
"No problem!" Liu Xi brazenly sized Xun Er up, his gaze lecherous.
"Hehe!"
"Attack!"
With savage grins, the two Da Dou Shi each drew a longsword and thrust forward viciously.
Whoosh!
Though Xun Er's strength had temporarily risen to that of a Dou Shi, the gap between a Dou Shi and a Da Dou Shi was like an uncrossable chasm.
Before long,
sharp sword qi had carved bloody wounds across her arms and wrists.
"Be careful! If you leave her covered in wounds, she won't feel as good to touch!" Liu Xi cried out in distress.
"You're courting death!"
Xun Er retreated several steps, her beautiful eyes turning incomparably cold as an even more powerful aura abruptly spread outward.
"A Da Dou Shi?" Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning stopped breathing.
Just how many monsters did the tiny Xiao Family possess?
Was one Xiao Yan not enough?
Now there was another Xun Er!
"This Secret Technique burns life force as its driving force. Unless I have no other choice, I truly do not wish to use it..."
Xun Er took a deep breath, preparing to activate it again and raise her Dou Qi to a Four Star Da Dou Shi.
"Don't let her succeed!"
One of the Da Dou Shi guards saw through Xun Er's intentions, his gaze sharp as lightning.
Whoosh!
His longsword shot forward like a dragon, stabbing viciously.
Just as it was about to strike her,
Bang!
One of the Da Dou Shi was sent flying over ten meters away. He stared at his chest in horror.
"Ah!"
Invisible flames roared to life, covering his entire body in an instant!
With a rush!
The flames swelled violently in the wind, utterly consuming him!
"Xiao Yan?!"
Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning were dumbfounded as they stared at the youth who had suddenly appeared.
Xiao Yan, who had been a Nine Star Dou Zhe just yesterday, had actually killed a Da Dou Shi?!
A dream!
This had to be a dream!
Before the other Da Dou Shi could react, Xiao Yan's fist, wrapped in Mysterious Yellow Flame, lashed out like a raging storm.
Bang!
Xiao Yan threw an enraged punch, and the other Da Dou Shi crashed helplessly to the ground.
After rolling several times,
he died with his eyes wide open.
"Who told you to use that kind of Secret Technique?!"
Xiao Yan panted heavily several times before roaring furiously at Xun Er, frightening her into shrinking back slightly.
"Am I dead?! Did you need to burn your life force to deal with these two pieces of trash?!"
Xiao Yan grabbed Xun Er, and she could feel that even his palm was trembling faintly.
"Brother Xiao Yan, were you worried about Xun Er?" Xun Er returned to normal, looking at Xiao Yan playfully.
"I'll deal with you when we get back!"
After sensing that Xun Er had not suffered any serious injuries, Xiao Yan glared viciously at her.
Then his icy gaze turned toward Liu Xi.
"You killed my two guards!"
Liu Xi shouted furiously, "Do you know who I am?! I am a First Grade Alchemist, and my senior brother—"
Whoosh!
Xiao Yan flicked up the fallen longsword with his toe and swung it fiercely, a cold flash of sword light streaking past.
"I'll kill you too!"
Liu Xi's head flew into the air in an instant, blood spraying everywhere.
"Come with me!"
Xiao Yan domineeringly seized Xun Er's wrist and headed for the Mittel Auction House.
Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning remained where they were, stunned stiff.
"Cousin, pinch me. Let me see if I'm dreaming!"
Xiao Ning spoke blankly, and in the next moment, a pig-slaughtering scream rang out.
"This is real?" Xiao Ning collapsed to the ground.
Xiao Yan, who had only been at the third stage of Dou Qi a few days ago, had actually killed two Da Dou Shi.
This world
had gone mad!
Inside the Mittel Auction House.
Xiao Yan took several medicinal herbs Ya Fei handed him and gently applied them to Xun Er's wounds.
"Brother Xiao Yan, it's rare to see you this angry!" Xun Er blinked playfully.
"If you dare use that Secret Technique again, I'll give you a good beating!"
Xiao Yan's fierce tone made Xun Er burst into laughter. Her sweet smile made everything around her pale in comparison.
"What a beautiful girl!"
Ya Fei secretly marveled. An inexplicable bitterness suddenly rose in her heart, and the sudden emotion startled even her.
Once she came to her senses, she could not help but feel confused.
Why
did she feel this way?
"I'm already fine. If you don't believe me, look!"
Xun Er's cheeky behavior left Xiao Yan feeling helpless, and he could not bear to reprimand her any further.
"If you run into trouble in the future, as long as I'm nearby, notify me first. Understand?"
"I have a problem right now."
Xun Er nodded with a grin. "Some guy was mean to me just now. Help me beat him up!"
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes helplessly.
This girl
really made him helpless!
"Young Master Xiao Yan, the Beast Flame you requested is already on its way!" Gu Ni said with a smile as he approached.
"Brother Xiao Yan has business to attend to? Then Xun Er won't get in the way."
Xun Er adorably tilted her head, her gaze unconsciously drifting toward Ya Fei.
The way this woman looked at Brother Xiao Yan was a little strange.
As Xun Er walked out of the Auction House, she happened to come face-to-face with the icy-looking Jia Liebi.
"Should I get rid of him?"
Xun Er watched Jia Liebi's retreating back, her long eyelashes trembling softly.
But in the end, she did not make a move.
She looked at the bandages around her arm.
Then she smiled brilliantly.
Jia Liebi's fury had reached its peak. He had only one last hope of turning things around.
That was Liu Xi!
"When we meet Master Liu later, all of you had better be respectful. Whoever dares make Master Liu angry, I'll tear out his tongue!"
Jia Liebi's furious voice left the clan members silent as cicadas, nodding desperately.
"Xiao Zhan, you destroyed my Jia Lie Family and left us homeless. I will slaughter your Xiao Family until not even chickens and dogs remain!"
Jia Liebi's sinister gaze suddenly spotted a large crowd gathered ahead.
"Patriarch, should we go take a look?" one clan member asked cautiously.
"Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Jia Liebi snapped, preparing to continue toward the city gate, but suddenly stopped.
"Patriarch, what's wrong?"
Ignoring the clan member's question, Jia Liebi's expression shifted uncertainly. His legs felt as though they had been filled with lead as he took difficult steps forward.
When he saw the badge on the corpse, his horrified eyes slowly widened.
"Liu..."
Jia Liebi dropped to his knees with a thud, his trembling hands reaching toward the corpse's waist.
Liu!
The striking character on the alchemist badge made Jia Liebi dizzy and disoriented.
As the world spun around him,
he fainted!
"Patriarch!"
A group of clan members rushed forward in panic, throwing the scene into chaos.
"Who... who did this?!" Jia Liebi asked shakily after the clan members woke him.
"You don't know? Heh! I saw it with my own eyes! Young Master Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family beat those two Da Dou Shi to death!"
"This alchemist was also cut down by Young Master Xiao Yan!"
Pfft!
Jia Liebi spat out a mouthful of blood in utter collapse.
Then he fainted again!
