Journey to the Valley, Instant Kill the Jackal Mercenary Group!

Chapter 43: Journey to the Valley, Instant Kill of the Jackal Mercenary Group!

The five people seemed to have noticed Xiao Tian as well. One of the young women frowned slightly, then called out in a clear voice.

As the words fell, the other four immediately stood up, scanning their surroundings vigilantly.

"Heh heh, don't be afraid, I'm just passing through," Xiao Tian said with a slight smile, slowly emerging from his hiding spot in a gentle tone.

Hearing Xiao Tian's words and glancing at him again, the young woman was startled at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

However, her gaze towards Xiao Tian became disdainful, and she let out a cold snort, saying:

"You dare to wander alone in the Monster Beast Mountain Range this late? You're lucky to have run into us, the Blood War Mercenary Group. Otherwise, you'd definitely be buried in this Monster Beast Mountain Range!"

Hearing this, Xiao Tian shrugged and didn't reply.

"Ling'er, don't talk nonsense!" At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped out, glared at the young woman, then looked at Xiao Tian and said kindly:

"Little brother, why don't you come sit with us? Night is the peak period for magical beasts to appear, it's extremely dangerous."

Xiao Tian hadn't expected this person to be so kind. He immediately walked over and sat down beside them.

"Little brother, my name is Kagan, a Five-star Dou Zhe!" the middle-aged man said with a smile, pointing to the five golden stars drawn on his chest.

"Xiao Tian, a Dou Disciple practitioner," Xiao Tian replied with a faint smile.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the young woman called Ling'er's face immediately showed a look of disdain, and she said sarcastically:

"So you're just a Dou Disciple practitioner? I really don't know where you got the courage to venture into the Monster Beast Mountain Range alone. Aren't you afraid of dying without a burial place?"

Xiao Tian frowned slightly and did not respond, choosing to ignore her.

However, Xiao Tian's disregard angered Ling'er. Her pretty face turned red, and she shouted furiously:

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Xiao Tian really couldn't stand such an aggressive woman. He glanced at her indifferently and said, "Why should I respond to you? Who do you think you are?"

"You..." Ling'er was stunned, then her eyebrows shot up. She stomped her foot angrily, rushed to Xiao Tian's side, and bit down hard on his arm.

Her tender, red lips bit fiercely into Xiao Tian's arm, venting her displeasure.

However, the moment her small mouth bit down on Xiao Tian's arm, a faint cracking sound suddenly rang out.

Crack...

Immediately after, everyone witnessed Ling'er's pearly white teeth shatter in an instant, breaking into several pieces and falling from her mouth.

"Mmm... it hurts so much... sob sob..."

Seeing this, Ling'er's eyes widened abruptly. Her beautiful face was covered in tears as she cried out in pain, crouched down, covered her mouth, and wept aggrievedly.

Looking at the crying young woman before him, Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow slightly. She was the one who rushed up and bit him!

"You... you bastard, how can your body be so hard!"

After a long while, Ling'er finally raised her tear-streaked face and glared at Xiao Tian hatefully.

"Ling'er, stop being rude!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man glared at her and quickly pulled her back.

Because, in that very instant, Kagan seemed to have recognized Xiao Tian's identity.

A black shirt, a giant sword on his back, handsome features – wasn't this the young man who had recently annihilated the Snake Nest Mercenary Group?

That incident had spread like wildfire throughout the entire Monster Beast Mountain Range, and many mercenary groups, big and small, were already aware of it.

Therefore, recognizing Xiao Tian, Kagan's heart was filled with shock, and a trace of fear also arose within him.

At the same time, the other members also introduced themselves to Xiao Tian.

"Heh heh, my name is Mo Shi, I'm a Four-star Dou Zhe!" a burly man said, scratching his head with a simple and honest expression.

"My name is Mu Lan, a Five-star Dou Zhe, hehe!" another handsome-looking man introduced himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of pride appeared on Ling'er's face. She immediately covered her mouth and snorted coldly at Xiao Tian:

"Brother Mu Lan is the genius of our Blood War Mercenary Group! He's already a Five-star Dou Zhe at such a young age. It's your honor to know him!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking this time, the middle-aged man, Kagan, directly slapped her across the face and said in a low voice:

"Ling'er, shut up!"

Seeing herself suddenly slapped, Ling'er was stunned, then became angry. Her delicate, pretty face turned ashen, and she gritted her teeth, saying:

"Why did you hit me? Was I wrong? Besides, he broke my teeth, and you're blaming me instead of him!"

Kagan took a deep breath and immediately whispered a few words into Ling'er's ear.

After hearing these words, Ling'er's expression changed drastically. Her gaze towards Xiao Tian was filled with apprehension, even mixed with a trace of terror. Finally, she sat obediently to the side, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Tian glanced at her, not paying much attention. However, the rest of the night passed extremely peacefully.

The next day, as sunlight began to appear in the valley, a gentle morning breeze blew, and the crisp, pleasant sound of birdsong reached their ears.

Xiao Tian slowly opened his eyes, looked at the rising sun in the east, and let out a long sigh.

He had slept soundly without any dreams!

Just as Xiao Tian was about to get up and stretch his muscles, Kagan and the others' voices immediately reached him.

"Not good, the Jackal Mercenary Group is here!!"

A look of distress flashed across Kagan's face.

The Jackal Mercenary Group was a band of villains who lived by robbing and plundering, constantly operating between Qingshan Town and the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

"Hee hee hee, boss, it's people from the Blood War Mercenary Group. Looks like they're alone, only six of them!" At this moment, a playful voice came from the forest, followed by a group of mercenaries in various attire emerging from the woods, a strong smell of blood filling the air.

"Eh, there are two young girls too. Looks like we're in luck today..." At this moment, someone noticed the two girls hiding behind Kagan, their eyes lighting up as they spoke lewdly.

Hearing the man's words, the other mercenaries echoed him, their gazes burning as they stared at Ling'er and the other girl, their eyes lingering on their delicate and graceful figures.

Seeing the way these mercenaries looked at them, the two girls' faces flushed with shame and anger. They quickly hid behind Kagan, trembling.

"Ling'er, don't worry. As long as I'm here, not a single hair on your head will be harmed!" At this moment, Mu Lan, standing beside Kagan, clenched his fist, his eyes wide with anger. He grabbed a long sword and charged forward.

Bang!!

However, before he could get close, he was sent flying by a punch from a burly mercenary, crashing into a tree and spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen.

"Hmph, trash!"

"Kill all the men for me, and tie up the women. Tonight, I'll make them gnaw on the table legs!" Seeing Mu Lan lying on the ground, the burly mercenary laughed sinisterly.

At his words, all the Jackal Mercenary Group mercenaries swarmed forward.

Seeing this scene, Kagan and the others' faces instantly turned pale.

As the men were about to charge, Kagan suddenly gritted his teeth and knelt heavily before the nonchalant Xiao Tian beside him, pleading:

"Brother Xiao Tian, Kagan begs you to make a move!"

Seeing this, Mo Shi, Mu Lan, and the others were all stunned. They clearly hadn't expected Kagan to kneel and beg a Dou Practitioner for help.

"Xiao Tian, I... it was Ling'er's fault yesterday. Please help us. I don't want to die yet, sob sob!" At this moment, facing imminent death, Ling'er, who had put aside her shame, quickly knelt and tugged at Xiao Tian's trouser leg, begging.

Mo Shi, Mu Lan, and the others were completely dumbfounded. Yesterday, Ling'er had spoken harshly to Xiao Tian, but today her attitude had changed so drastically?

"Damn it, you're still putting on an act when you're about to die. Do you think I'm really afraid of some brat?" Seeing this, the burly mercenary sneered disdainfully.

With that, he brandished his large saber and slashed at Xiao Tian!

"Noisy!!"

Feeling the sharp wind rushing towards him, Xiao Tian's gaze suddenly turned cold. The Zi Wu Qi Xing Sword on his back was suddenly drawn.

Whoosh!!

Instantly, Dou Qi surged out, and a terrifying sword energy swept out, slicing all the mercenaries in front of him in two. Blood and gore splattered out.

This scene happened in the blink of an eye.

The mercenaries, who had been arrogant moments before, were instantly annihilated, leaving Kagan and the others gaping in shock, frozen in place.

After a long while, Ling'er, who had just gotten up, subconsciously glanced at the severely injured Mu Lan under the big tree. The admiration she had felt for him vanished completely. Her eyes were now fixed on the figure of the youth standing proudly with a giant sword on his back.

"Farewell!"

With a faint word, Xiao Tian's Purple Cloud Wings on his back flapped rapidly. Amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, he slowly disappeared, heading towards the desert.
