Hun Han gripped the Silver Sword embedded in his shoulder with one hand, his palm suddenly shooting forward.

With a BANG, though he was just a six-year-old boy, he actually repelled the young man with one punch, sending him staggering back three steps, blood seeping from his lips.

Then, Hun Han, with the hand holding the Silver Sword, applied a little force, and with a CLANG, the silver treasured sword actually broke into two pieces.

What the hell!

All the Bandits watched this scene with utter astonishment. Before they could snap out of their surprise, a black shadow flashed across the field, and the broken treasured sword plunged into the chest of the young Bandit.

Young Bandit, perished!

Seeing this, the scar-faced youth shouted loudly, "Quick, stop gawking and attack together, kill him!"

Hearing this, the other five Bandits snapped back to reality. Each holding their swords, they unleashed their respective Dou Skills and charged at Hun Han.

A young Bandit's eyes sharpened, and the battle saber in his hand slashed straight at Hun Han. However, to his surprise, when his battle saber struck Hun Han, he felt no resistance at all.

"Ah!"

The young Bandit let out a piercing scream, looking down at his chest. Another piece of the silver blade was already embedded in it.

"Brat, you dare kill two people from my Sky Phoenix Fortress, you're asking for death!"

Seeing Hun Han's figure reappear in the field, the Bandit closest to the young Bandit swung his fist at Hun Han.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Just as the opponent's fist was three inches away from Hun Han, a gentle breeze arose in the field. Finally, the fist passed directly through Hun Han's figure.

The stunned Bandit, before he could even react, suffered a fierce attack from behind. He fell headfirst to the ground, never to rise again.

"Ugh!"

On the side, the scar-faced youth looked at the small, blurry figure flitting around the field, filled with immense surprise. The opponent was clearly just a Fighter at the ninth stage of Dou Qi, yet he could fight six low-level Fighters alone and not be defeated. Moreover, that terrifying physical attack power could kill a two-star Fighter with one punch and withstand the attack of a one-star Dou Master.

This was truly terrifying.

Gulp, gulp.

The Pockmarked Bandit, who had fought Hun Han earlier, swallowed hard, his throat bobbing. It wasn't as scary to face an opponent with a higher cultivation level as it was to face one who couldn't be killed. Seeing his "brothers" injured or dead one by one, the Pockmarked Bandit didn't hesitate and darted into the nearby bushes – he fled.

"Ma..."

The scar-faced youth wanted to call out to the fleeing Pockmarked Bandit but wisely stopped himself. He glanced warily at the little boy, then took a step, following in the Pockmarked Bandit's footsteps.

Everything on the field completely captivated the little girl in the purple dress. Watching the two who fled, she scanned the scene. She then realized the groom was nowhere to be seen; the groom had long since abandoned her and fled at some point.

The little girl in the purple dress looked back at the little boy in the field. Although his figure was small, he gradually grew taller in her heart.

"Big brother ran away, what are we still fighting for! Let's go!"

Someone shouted, and the Bandits who could still breathe no longer fought. They darted into the bushes by the roadside.

At this point, the little girl in the purple dress walked up to the little boy in the water-blue shirt and asked with concern, "Are... are you alright?"

Hun Han shook his head slightly. "I'm fine."

The little girl in the purple dress, with her jade-like fingers like scallion roots, touched her Storage Ring, flicked her finger, took out a white jade bottle, and handed it to Hun Han. "This is the healing Pill, Rejuvenation Powder. You should treat your wounds first!"

Rejuvenation Powder!

Knowing the storyline of Battle Through the Heavens, Hun Han knew that although Rejuvenation Powder wasn't a precious item, it wasn't something ordinary people could afford. For common folk, a cold or a minor injury would have them going to the pharmacy for herbs; they wouldn't spend money on Pills.

Looking at the little girl again, Hun Han vaguely felt that she was somewhat extraordinary. She produced a bottle of healing Pills with a single move.

Hun Han refused, "No need, my wound has already stopped bleeding!"

The little girl looked at Hun Han's shoulder. Indeed, although the clothes on his shoulder were soaked with blood, they had genuinely stopped bleeding. At this, the little girl's eyes couldn't help but show surprise.

This was also a result Hun Han had figured out.

After leaving He Yuan, Hun Han encountered another Demonic Beast. He was surprised to find that after being injured, his wounds could heal quickly. Moreover, every time he bled and was injured, his body would subtly become stronger.

It was precisely because of this that Hun Han had taken that sword strike for the little girl in the purple dress.

The little girl handed the jade bottle in her hand to Hun Han again, saying, "Take it, little brother. You'll find a use for it in the future."

"This..."

Seeing the little girl's earnestness, Hun Han accepted the jade bottle. "Alright. But your groom ran away. Where are you going? Shall I take you?"

The little girl replied, "I'm going to Wutan City!"

Hun Han was taken aback. "Wutan City?"

The little girl asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Hun Han looked at the little girl again. She wore purple clothes, like a green lotus, was only four years old, and could casually produce a bottle of Rejuvenation Powder. He mused, "Coincidentally, I'll be passing through Wutan City. Shall we travel together then?"

The little girl nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Hun Han put the jade bottle into his Storage Ring and asked, "By the way, little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl replied, "My name is Gu..., um, my name is Xiao Xun'er!"

"Xiao Xun'er!"

Hun Han looked at the little girl in surprise, his eyes showing a "just as I expected" expression. That's right, the little girl before him was the eldest daughter sent to the Xiao Clan by the Ancient Clan's Clan Leader, the future Fire Mother who would govern the Endless Fire Domain—Xiao Xun'er.

The little girl felt a bit confused by Hun Han's expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Hun Han composed himself and smiled, "The flower language of lavender is 'waiting for love.' Xun'er, Xun'er, hmm, a very nice name!"

The little girl smiled upon hearing this and asked, "And you, what's your name?"

"Me?"

Hun Han hesitated.

The Ancient Clan and the Hun Clan were in constant conflict privately, but they hadn't erupted into large-scale wars like the Hun Clan and the Xiao Clan. Hun Han knew that the Ancient Clan was extremely wary of the Hun Clan.

Now that Hun Han had stumbled upon this opportunity and, by sheer coincidence, gained a bit of favor from Gu Xun'er, how could he possibly ruin it? Hun Han cleverly replied, "Hmm, my name is Han Hun."

Xiao Xun'er was slightly taken aback and murmured, "Han Hun?"

Hun Han nodded, "The 'Han' from Han Feizi, and the 'Hun' from eating meat, not vegetables! Han Hun!"

Xiao Xun'er murmured again, seemingly trying to remember the name, "Han Hun!"

"Mm."

Hun Han nodded, extended his hand, and said friendly, "Little sister Xun'er, it's a pleasure to meet you. You will be my first friend!"

Looking at the little beauty before him, Hun Han couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. He hadn't forgotten that after shaking hands with his cheap father, Hun Tiandi, he had obtained the Divine Artifact Instantaneous Teleportation Star Disk.

Now, what kind of reward would he get from shaking hands with Xiao Xun'er!

As the owner of the Sign-in System, he possessed the divine ability of Character Sign-in!
