When someone saw Xiao Chuan enter, he immediately walked over to stop him. "Who are you? This is Mo Tie Mercenary Group territory. Please do not barge in!"

Hearing the commotion, eldest brother Xiao Ding and second brother Xiao Li hurriedly turned around, their gazes falling on Xiao Chuan.

Even though they had not seen each other for a long time, they recognized Xiao Chuan immediately.

It could not be helped!

Xiao Chuan was simply too handsome. But just how handsome was he?

Everyone, please turn on your phone's front-facing camera right now. Looking at that face, Xiao Chuan was exactly this handsome!!

"Third Brother!!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li quickly stepped forward and embraced Xiao Chuan. "Why did you suddenly come here?"

"I happened to be passing through Shi Mo City, so I thought I'd come see you." Xiao Chuan answered.

Xiao Ding immediately led Xiao Chuan inside. "How is everyone at home? Is Father well?"

"Father is doing very well. He smiles so much every day that he can barely close his mouth."

Xiao Li pressed on, "What about Younger Brother? How is he doing?"

"Younger Brother's cultivation has broken through. He should be able to recover to the Dou Zhe realm soon."

"That's wonderful!!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li smiled at each other. As long as their family was doing well, that was enough.

"Third Brother, what about you? You're the Xiao Clan's genius. What cultivation level are you at now?"

"Me? It might scare you if I told you." Xiao Chuan smiled.

Xiao Li grew interested. "Let me guess. Don't tell me you reached the Dou Ling realm before Big Brother and me?"

"Second Brother, guess bigger. Aren't you underestimating me?"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance and spoke in unison. "Don't tell me you're already a Dou Wang?"

"Half Step Dou Emperor."

Xiao Chuan bragged.

Though he was only a Nine Star Dou King, if they rounded up, calling himself a Half Step Dou Emperor was still an understatement.

"Half Step Dou Emperor!!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li cried out in shock. They had not expected Xiao Chuan to be so close to breaking through to Dou Emperor.

Terrifying indeed!!

"Really?"

"Truer than pearls."

"Want to go outside and spar? Let me see the strength of a Half Step Dou Emperor!" Xiao Li was eager to try. The strongest person in all of Shi Mo City was only a Da Dou Shi, and they had never witnessed the might of a Dou Wang.

"Then let's spar."

Xiao Chuan could not spoil their excitement. Since his two brothers wanted to see it, he naturally would not ruin the mood.

"Let's go!!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li headed to the Martial Arts Arena, with Xiao Chuan following close behind. Many people nearby turned to look.

"Third Brother, Big Brother and I will join forces. You don't mind, do you?" Xiao Li asked with a grin, rubbing his fists together.

Xiao Chuan smiled. "You two aren't enough. Have the entire Mo Tie Mercenary Group come at me together!"

Xiao Li glanced at Xiao Ding, who nodded. Xiao Li then laughed. "Then we'll all attack together! Everyone, listen up! Attack him with me!"

Though everyone did not know what was happening, this was their own captain's order, so they only needed to obey.

"Come on!"

Xiao Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching them like a lofty master.

"Attack together!"

Xiao Li struck first. He was merely a Dou Master, but his attack was incredibly swift. It was obvious that he was battle-hardened.

The others charged in one after another. Watching their movements, Xiao Chuan found them far too slow.

In almost an instant, he evaded every attack and sent them flying one after another instead.

Xiao Chuan knew his limits, so he held back. At most, he only made them feel some pain.

Outside the Mo Tie Mercenary Group residence, members of the Sha Zhi Mercenary Group had already arrived.

Hearing the commotion inside, Captain Luo Bu grinned from ear to ear. That expert really had come to kill people!!

"You two are quite impressive!" Luo Bu was wary of Xiao Li and Xiao Chuan's strength, and the Mo Tie Mercenary Group was also very united. They had no idea where to start.

Fortunately, a benefactor had come to their aid. Now, the Sha Zhi Mercenary Group could unify Shi Mo City.

As for the remaining Bao Feng Mercenary Group, they simply did not have the strength to contend with them.

As long as they dealt with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, all of Shi Mo City would belong to them.

Luo Bu laughed. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's go in and take a look. We might even be able to help."

Everyone laughed along with him as they followed Luo Bu through the gates.

Inside the Martial Arts Arena, Xiao Chuan could counterattack even while dodging, leaving the mercenaries in utter misery.

After they were knocked down, they had no desire to get back up at all. They simply lay on the ground and played dead.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were still attacking. Xiao Chuan struck out with his palm and forced them back, sending the two retreating dozens of steps.

"Third Brother, we want to see your full strength." Xiao Li already understood how formidable a Dou Wang was. If Xiao Chuan had not been constantly holding back, they would have died several times over.

Just then, Luo Bu and the others entered the Martial Arts Arena and saw the scene. Every one of them wore a smile.

The Mo Tie Mercenary Group was finished!

All their people were lying on the ground, leaving only Xiao Ding and Xiao Chuan standing. This was their best chance!!

"Esteemed expert, we've come to help you!"

Luo Bu stepped forward with a smile and immediately stood beside Xiao Chuan.

"Who are you people?"

Xiao Chuan narrowed his eyes and asked. He did not know these people, did he?

"Luo Bu!!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at Luo Bu, not expecting him to suddenly come to their Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

"Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, today is your day of death!" Luo Bu turned to Xiao Chuan and flattered him. "Esteemed expert, how about we join hands and kill them?"

"Kill them?" Xiao Chuan pointed at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. "Do I look like the kind of person who would kill my own family for righteousness?"

"Kill your own family for righteousness!?"

Luo Bu stared blankly at Xiao Chuan and the two men across from him. "Aren't you here to destroy the Mo Tie Mercenary Group?"

Hearing that, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li suddenly burst into loud laughter. "Luo Bu, the person standing beside you is our Third Brother."

The moment those words came out, Luo Bu felt as though he had fallen into an ice pit. It was over!!

Hadn't this turned into a complete misunderstanding?

Luo Bu looked at the two men behind him. If circumstances allowed, he truly wanted to deal with them first.

There was an insider, but sadly, it was already too late to stop the deal!

Seeing Luo Bu's murderous glare, the two men desperately wanted to flee. How were they supposed to know Xiao Chuan was related to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li!?

Luo Bu had been cautious enough. If he had not seen the Mo Tie Mercenary Group members sprawled on the ground, they would not have walked in so openly.

At that moment, the mercenaries playing dead rose from the ground and slowly surrounded them.

Xiao Chuan finally understood. These people were from the Sha Zhi Mercenary Group.

Xiao Ding said coldly, "Luo Bu, since you've delivered yourself to our door, don't blame us for being rude!"

Clearly, Luo Bu had come to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group because he had mistakenly assumed Xiao Chuan was there to wipe them out.

But seeing this scene, Luo Bu probably wished he were dead.

Luo Bu felt that he needed to strike first. It would be best if he could capture Xiao Chuan and use him to threaten Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.

So,

he chose the strongest one.

With swift eyes and quick hands, Luo Bu immediately thrust the spear in his hand at Xiao Chuan, placing its tip against his neck.

"Xiao Ding, you'd better not do anything rash. Your brother is in my hands!" he laughed loudly.

Those two men had said Xiao Chuan was an expert, yet he had still been subdued by him. Luo Bu began to seize the initiative.

However, Xiao Ding and Xiao Chuan were covering their mouths and snickering, as were the Mo Tie mercenaries around them.

They had just experienced Xiao Chuan's strength firsthand. Luo Bu was courting death!

"Big Brother, Third Brother, didn't you want to see the strength of a Dou Wang? Then today, I'll truly open your eyes!" Xiao Chuan instantly grabbed the spear before him and forcefully snapped it in two.
