Hun Han gripped the silver sword embedded in his shoulder with one hand, then suddenly thrust his other palm forward.

With a bang, the six-year-old boy actually sent the young man staggering back three steps with a single punch, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Then, Hun Han exerted a little force with the hand holding the silver sword. With a clang, the silver blade snapped cleanly in two.

Damn it!

All the bandits stared at the scene before them in utter shock. Before they could recover, a black shadow flashed across the field, and the broken sword pierced the young bandit's chest.

The young bandit died!

Seeing this, the scar-faced youth shouted, "Quick! Stop standing around! Attack together and kill him!"

Hearing that, the other five bandits snapped out of it. Gripping their weapons, they unleashed their respective fighting techniques and charged at Hun Han.

Black Tier Intermediate Movement Technique: Netherworld Ghost Shadow

A young bandit narrowed his eyes and brought his saber down in a straight slash at Hun Han. Yet to his astonishment, when his saber struck Hun Han, he felt no resistance whatsoever.

"Aah!"

The young bandit let out a shrill scream and looked down at his chest. The other half of the silver blade was already embedded in it.

"Kid, you dared kill two men from Tianfeng Stronghold? You're courting death!"

As Hun Han's figure appeared in the field, the bandit closest to him threw a punch at him.

In the blink of an eye.

Just as the fist came within three inches of Hun Han, a faint breeze stirred through the field. In the end, that fist passed straight through Hun Han's body.

Before the stunned bandit could react, his back suffered a fierce blow. He crashed headfirst into the ground and never got back up.

"Urgh!"

To one side, the scar-faced youth stared at the small figure leaving layered afterimages across the field, his heart filled with shock. His opponent was clearly only a Fighting Qi Ninth Stage Dou Zhe, yet he could fight six low-level Dou Zhes alone without losing. Moreover, his terrifying physical strength could kill a two-star Dou Zhe with one punch and withstand an attack from a one-star Dou Shi.

How terrifying was that?

Gulp, gulp.

The Pockmarked bandit who had fought Hun Han earlier swallowed hard. He was not afraid of opponents with high cultivation; he feared opponents who simply could not be killed. Seeing his "brothers" either wounded or dead, Pockmarked did not hesitate. He darted into the bushes by the road—he fled.

"Pockmarked..."

The scar-faced youth wanted to call after the fleeing Pockmarked youth, but wisely stopped himself in time. He cast a wary glance at the little boy, then started after Pockmarked.

Everything in the field had completely captured the attention of the little girl in purple. Looking at the two fleeing men, then scanning the area, she realized that the coachman was nowhere to be seen. At some point, he had already abandoned her and run for his life.

When the little girl in purple looked at the little boy in blue again, his figure was still small, but in her heart, he was gradually becoming taller and taller.

"The boss has run off! What are we still fighting for? Run!"

Someone shouted, and the bandits who could still breathe no longer dared to fight. One after another, they fled into the bushes beside the road.

At last, the little girl in purple walked over to the little boy in blue and asked with concern, "Are you... all right?"

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

The little girl in purple touched her storage ring with her slender jade-like fingers. With a flick of her finger, she took out a white jade bottle and handed it to Hun Han. "This is Rejuvenation Powder, a healing medicine. Treat your wound first!"

Rejuvenation Powder!

Knowing the storyline of Battle Through the Heavens, Hun Han knew that although Rejuvenation Powder was not particularly precious, it was still not something ordinary people could afford. When common folk caught colds or suffered bleeding injuries, they would only visit an apothecary for medicine. They could not bear to spend money on medicinal pills.

Looking at the little girl again, Hun Han faintly sensed that she was no ordinary child. She had casually produced an entire bottle of healing medicine.

Hun Han declined. "No need. My wound has stopped bleeding already."

The little girl looked at Hun Han's shoulder. Sure enough, although his clothes had been soaked through with blood, the wound had truly stopped bleeding. Her eyes could not help revealing surprise and doubt.

This was also a discovery Hun Han had made.

After leaving He Yuan, Hun Han had encountered another magical beast. To his surprise, he discovered that after being injured, his wounds healed rapidly. Moreover, every time he bled or was injured, his body seemed to become a little stronger.

That was precisely why Hun Han had helped the little girl in purple block that sword strike.

The little girl handed the Jade Bottle to Hun Han again and said, "Take it, big brother. You'll have use for it someday."

"This..."

Seeing how sincere she was, Hun Han accepted the Jade Bottle. "All right. But your coachman has run away. Where are you going? How about I take you there?"

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

Hun Han was startled. "Wutan City?"

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

Hun Han examined her again. Purple clothes like a blue lotus, only four years old, yet able to casually produce a bottle of Rejuvenation Powder. A thought arose in his heart. "Perfect. I'm passing through Wutan City too. How about we travel together from here on?"

The little girl nodded with a smile. "All right."

Hun Han put the Jade Bottle into his storage ring and asked, "By the way, little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl answered, "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 an expression of understanding. That was right. This little girl was the young lady the Clan Leader of the Ancient Clan had sent to the Xiao Clan, the future Flame Mother who would rule over the Endless Fire Territory—Xiao Xun'er.

The little girl was somewhat puzzled by Hun Han's expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Hun Han composed himself and smiled. "Lavender symbolizes waiting for love. Xun'er, Xun'er... mm, it's a very nice name!"

Hearing that, the little girl smiled and asked, "What about you? What's your name?"

"Me?"

Hun Han hesitated for a moment.

The Ancient Clan and the Hun Clan fought constantly in secret, though they had never erupted into a large-scale war 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 into gaining a little of Gu Xun'er's favor, how could he ruin it?

Thinking quickly, Hun Han said, "Mm, my name is Han Hun."

Xiao Xun'er stiffened slightly and murmured, "Han Hun?"

Hun Han nodded. "Han as in Han Feizi's Han, Hun as in eating meat instead of vegetables! Han Hun!"

Xiao Xun'er murmured it again, as though trying to remember the name. "Han Hun!"

"Mm."

Hun Han nodded and held out his hand amiably. "Little Sister Xun'er, I'm very happy to meet you. You'll be my first friend!"

Looking at the little beauty before him, Hun Han could not help feeling excited. He had not forgotten that after shaking hands with his bargain-bin father, Hun Tiandi, he had obtained the Divine Artifact Instantaneous Teleportation Star Disk.

Now, if he shook hands with Xiao Xun'er, what kind of reward could he obtain?

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