Wiped Out

The six men stood three meters away from Xiao Yi Xian, utterly at a loss. Even Dou Qi could barely withstand this Poisonous Gas.

"Young Leader, what should we do?"

"Young Leader..."

"Young Leader?"

The voices around him gave Mu Li a headache. How was he supposed to know what to do?

Even he, a Seven-star Fighter, could not resist this Poisonous Gas. What could he possibly do?

"Hm?"

Just as Mu Li was fretting, he noticed that the Purple Mist was quietly receding.

Seeing this, the others could not help exchanging looks. They all saw joy in each other's eyes.

They had stood under the blazing sun for several hours like idiots.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes trembled as she opened them. The first thing she saw was the figure she hated most in her memories.

Half-kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yi Xian clutched her dizzy head and asked, "Mu Li, what are you doing here?"

Looking at the awakened Xiao Yi Xian, Mu Li smiled. "Of course, it's all thanks to your pet!"

When Xiao Yi Xian saw the feather Mu Li was playing with in his hand, she instantly understood. Looking at the barely alive Xiao Lan beside her, her eyes filled with fury.

The strength of a Two-star Fighter erupted instantly, purple Dou Qi winding around Xiao Yi Xian like flames.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to have hidden your cultivation. But so what?"

Although Mu Li was surprised that Xiao Yi Xian was a Dou Zhe, the weakest among the six of them was still a Three-star Fighter.

Clearly, Mu Li did not believe Xiao Yi Xian had broken through so quickly. Just a few days ago, she had only been at the sixth stage of Dou Qi. She could not have accomplished anything in only a few days.

"Get her. Just don't kill her!"

Mu Li narrowed his eyes and looked Xiao Yi Xian up and down. He had already imagined what would happen between him and Xiao Yi Xian a few minutes later...

"Yes!"

Hearing the Young Leader's order, the five men drew the weapons from their backs. Baring their teeth, they said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Xiao Yi Xian, don't blame us for being rough!"

Xiao Yi Xian showed no fear as she watched the five men approach. Instead, she smiled. "Oh? And how do you plan to be rough?"

The five men looked at one another. With Xiao Yi Xian acting like this, there was a good chance it was a trap. What if...

"What, are five grown men afraid of a Two-star Fighter?"

Seeing that the five men did not dare move, Mu Li shouted angrily. Why had he raised these five good-for-nothings?

So what if Xiao Yi Xian was a Two-star Fighter?

Who had ever seen her practice a Fighting Skill?

Or were five grown men above the Two-star Fighter level actually afraid of a little woman?

Seeing their leader's anger, the five men knew they had no choice but to attack. Instantly, they gathered the Dou Qi from their Dantians into their blades and charged at Xiao Yi Xian menacingly.

Xiao Yi Xian did not panic at all in the face of their attack. The poison in her hand instantly surged with Dou Qi as she hurled it at them.

Purple powder scattered over the five men. With cries of "Ah!" they fell to the ground at once.

"This..."

Mu Li involuntarily took a step back at the sight. It was his first time seeing such a vicious poison. It had killed five Dou Zhe in an instant.

Was he seeing things?

"A bunch of worthless grunts. They got off easy!"

Xiao Yi Xian clapped her hands, feeling neither disgust, fear, nor terror at having killed someone.

Among Xiao Yi Xian's original memories were memories of killing.

She still remembered the mercenary who had tried to violate Xiao Yi Xian.

She also remembered how Xiao Yi Xian's face had remained pale after poisoning him, only gradually recovering several days later.

And afterward, there had been cases where patients died before she could finish treating them.

"Xiao Yi Xian, I don't believe you still have poison like that!"

Mu Li interrupted Xiao Yi Xian, who was still standing there in a daze. He suppressed his fear. Who was he?

He was the Young Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. What had he not seen?

Xiao Yi Xian smiled at Mu Li. "As expected of the Young Leader. I don't have any more poison like that, but what can you do about it?"

Mu Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. After a long silence, his expression settled, and he said, "Since that deadly poison is gone, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Mu Li pulled several darts from his clothes and, propelled by his Dou Qi, shot toward Xiao Yi Xian!

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes gradually turned black. Her brows furrowed slightly as she dodged with a swift step and murmured, "Sword, come!"

The Sword Box on her back trembled. You Su flew from its sheath in an instant, its edge brushing past the Sword Box as the long sword gave a soft cry that lingered around her ears.

Xiao Yi Xian grasped You Su. Poison Dou Qi spread over the blade as she struck at Mu Li with a single slash.

Mu Li covered his entire body with Dou Qi, drew his curved saber from his waist, and met her attack head-on.

Sword and blade collided, unleashing a tremendous shockwave. As Mu Li stared at Xiao Yi Xian across from him, killing intent flashed in his eyes, and the flames coating his blade burned even fiercer.

Xiao Yi Xian saw that Mu Li was using his full strength. With a sword flourish, she pulled away, purple Dou Qi spreading across the entire battlefield.

Mu Li clicked his tongue. He had to constantly use Dou Qi to resist the Poisonous Gas around him. It would be bad if this continued!

"Yellow-tier High-grade Fighting Skill, Flame Breaking Blade!"

Mu Li murmured before roaring wildly. The Dou Qi in his hand poured madly into the blade, and the blazing flames became even more frenzied and violent than before.

This was one of the finest Fighting Skills of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He was extremely confident he could kill Xiao Yi Xian. After all, throughout Green Mountain Town, there were only a handful of people who possessed Mysterious-tier Fighting Skills.

If he had not been the Young Leader, he likely would not have possessed such a precious Fighting Skill.

Holding a blade filled with pale red flames, Mu Li slashed at Xiao Yi Xian, his eyes full of madness and killing intent.

To him, life was more important than beauty. If a woman died, he could always find another. But if he lost his life, he would lose everything.

Xiao Yi Xian frowned. She had never cultivated any Fighting Skills or Cultivation Methods, so she could only coordinate with the figure within the Sword Box and improvise on the spot.

Crack!

The Sword Box on her back trembled faintly. The formation covering it radiated light, and the formation patterns on You Su's blade shone as well.

Sword One.

A flash of purple light passed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. Holding You Su, she poured the Poison Dou Qi within her body into it madly. The figure in her memories using a Fighting Skill seemed to overlap with her own.

Before her eyes, there seemed to be only purple and red. With another crack, the saber blade flew away.

Mu Li's eyes were filled with unwillingness. The blazing flames on his body continuously burned against the purple Poisonous Gas, hissing loudly.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Yi Xian snorted, shook the blood from her sword, and sheathed it. If the figure inside the Sword Box had not personally guided her through the Fighting Skill, she might truly have been finished just now.

Xiao Yi Xian walked over to Xiao Lan. Seeing that it still showed signs of life despite remaining unconscious, she breathed a sigh of relief. After tending to its wounds, she began searching the bodies of the men.

As the saying went, "If you want to get rich, loot the corpses first!"

How could she fail to make use of resources delivered right to her doorstep?

The six lackeys had quite a few gold coins on them. Mu Li even wore a Storage Ring containing that Mysterious-tier Low-grade Fighting Skill.

A dead man's wealth really was the easiest way to get rich!
