Lin Feng's Fighting Skill and Cultivation Method had originally been a set. When used together, their power was naturally far greater than that of an ordinary Mysterious Tier Low-grade Dou Skill.

Moreover, Mu Li was already two stars below Lin Feng. Less than a second after they clashed, a crisp crack rang out from Mu Li's fists.

"Pfft."

A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth, and he was sent flying by the tremendous force.

"Ah! My hands!"

After crashing to the ground, Mu Li raised his badly deformed fists. His agonized screams echoed through the passage for a long while.

"Young Group Leader!"

Hearing his scream, the mercenaries behind him instantly panicked and hurriedly shouted in Mu Li's direction.

If anything happened to Mu Li here, his father, Mu She, would not let them off easily.

"Go!"

After knocking Mu Li down, Lin Feng forcibly suppressed the urge to kill him on the spot. He grabbed Xiao Yi Xian's arm and rushed toward the cave exit.

Not long after Lin Feng left, seven or eight mercenaries who could still move rushed out of the stone chamber.

Seeing Mu Li lying on the ground with a deathly pale face and deformed palms, they were all filled with horror.

Their Young Group Leader, a Six-star Dou Zhe, had actually been beaten into such a state by that youth?

This cruel reality before their eyes left everyone stunned for a moment.

"Idiots, what are you standing around for? Go after them! You must kill that brat! And once you're outside, release the signal immediately and have the men lying in ambush above intercept them!"

Looking at his dazed subordinates, Mu Li spat out another mouthful of blood. Enduring the pain from his palms, he roared furiously.

"Yes!"

Mu Li's roar snapped the mercenaries back to their senses. They hurriedly answered, then shot forward in pursuit of Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian.

Struggling to prop himself up, Mu Li leaned against the stone wall and let out a heavy breath.

A vicious glint flashed through his eyes as he said coldly, "You little bastard, don't let me catch you. Otherwise, I'll make you beg for life and beg for death!"

Lin Feng expressionlessly pulled Xiao Yi Xian along as they continued racing outward. His right hand, hidden in his sleeve, ached slightly, while his adrenaline surged wildly.

Ever since transmigrating here, he had only fought Magical Beasts. This was his first time fighting another person.

"With Mu Li's scheming nature, there must be Wolf Head Mercenary Group mercenaries waiting above the cliff!"

Xiao Yi Xian warned him between hurried breaths.

Hearing that, Lin Feng recalled that Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have a first-tier Magical Beast companion.

However, it was not appropriate for him to bring it up directly, so he asked, "Then do you have a way?"

Biting her red lips, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to make up her mind. She bit her lower lip and said, "I can take you away."

Lin Feng nodded. "Then use it quickly. If those people catch up, it won't be convenient for me to run while carrying you."

Seeing Lin Feng nod, Xiao Yi Xian took a short bamboo flute from her bosom, placed it against her small lips, and blew softly.

A strange sound wave swiftly traveled from the flute, passed through the passage, and finally lingered in the night sky beyond the cliff.

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the small opening faintly lit by moonlight, Lin Feng pretended not to know and asked.

"Calling my companion."

Xiao Yi Xian raised the bamboo flute in her hand and smiled playfully. "A first-tier Blue Eagle."

"A Flying Magical Beast? Then it looks like we're saved." Lin Feng smiled.

They raced through the dark passage for a while longer, and the moonlight at the cave entrance grew increasingly bright.

A moment later, their eyes suddenly brightened as a sky full of stars and an enormous silver moon came into view.

Upon reaching the cave entrance, Lin Feng swiftly pulled Xiao Yi Xian against the rock wall and secretly glanced up toward the cliff.

Sure enough, he saw quite a few figures above the cliff, carrying torches as they patrolled the area.

"So they really did leave a backup plan."

After saying that, Lin Feng pressed his ear to the ground. After a while, he said gravely, "The pursuers are almost here. How much longer until your companion arrives?"

Xiao Yi Xian swept her beautiful eyes across the night sky, then placed the bamboo flute to her lips again. Strange sound waves silently echoed through the night.

"Skree!"

Not long after the sound waves spread, a piercing cry rang out across the night sky.

Under the moonlight, Lin Feng could vaguely see a gigantic eagle, azure all over, swiftly flying out from deep within the mountains.

In only a short while, it reached the bottom of the cliff and began circling.

"Let's go."

Seeing the Blue Eagle arrive, Xiao Yi Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, then turned back toward the cave, where a few figures were already visible, and gave a cold smile.

He wrapped an arm around Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist, leaped up, and landed directly on the massive Blue Eagle.

"Xiao Lan, hurry!" After jumping onto the eagle's back, Xiao Yi Xian urged anxiously.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's voice, the Blue Eagle immediately spread its wings. A powerful gust swept through the air, and it carried the two of them into the sky.

"Shoot it down!"

Seeing that the pair had actually mounted the Blue Eagle, the dozen or so mercenaries at the cave entrance hurriedly shouted up toward the cliff.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Hearing the shouts below, the people above the cliff stirred briefly. Then a rain of arrows tore through the air and shot toward the Blue Eagle overhead.

Lin Feng's heart jolted slightly at the incoming arrows. At the Dou Zhe stage, he could not yet condense a Dou Qi Gauze Robe. Ordinary bows and crossbows could still threaten him.

Just as he was about to strike and knock them away, the Blue Eagle beneath his feet suddenly beat its wings. A pale green gale swept forth, instantly fanning the wave of arrows down into the ravine.

Crouching down, Xiao Yi Xian's long hair was blown into slight disarray by the gale. Her jade-like hand gently stroked the Blue Eagle's body, and she turned back to smile at Lin Feng. "We're safe now."

"Whew..."

Letting out a long breath, Lin Feng limply sat atop the Blue Eagle's back and looked down at the rapidly receding forest.

His heart felt a little unsteady. This was his first time flying so high without any protection.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lin Feng looked down from the Blue Eagle at the cave below.

His icy gaze remained fixed on Mu Li, who was being supported upright at the cave entrance by several mercenaries.

Their gazes met in the night sky. Toward Mu Li, who had wanted to kill him, Lin Feng did not conceal his killing intent in the slightest.

As the Blue Eagle gradually flew farther away, Lin Feng withdrew his gaze, turned toward Xiao Yi Xian, and asked, "Are you leaving with me?"

Her slender fingers brushed aside the hair before her forehead. The oncoming gale pressed her clothes tightly against her body, faintly revealing her graceful curves.

"No, I'm going back to the herb-gathering team." Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and smiled faintly.

"You're still going back? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Seeing her like this, Lin Feng did not know what to say for a moment.

"Once I return to the herb-gathering team, Mu Li won't dare do anything to me again." Xiao Yi Xian smiled.

Given her reputation in Qingshan Town, if Mu Li did not want to incur public outrage, he would absolutely not dare attack her again.
