Boss Yao

"Help you? But I can't fight at all. And are you sure you can handle Mu She? He's a powerful Two-star Dou Master. Besides, I heard during this time that Mu She seems to possess a Mysterious Tier Fighting Skill."

Xiao Yi Xian frowned, her expression equally grave as she spoke.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's concerns, Lin Feng reassured her, "In the Monster Mountain Range, Mu Li, He Meng, and the teams they led have all been killed by me. As for Mu She..."

After a brief pause, Lin Feng continued, "You've had the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture for so long, so you must have figured out something from it. If you can use poison to deal with the other mercenaries and create the conditions for me to face Mu She alone, I'm eighty percent certain I can win."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be able to kill He Meng, an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner. Hmm, all right. Wait for me."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Lin Feng in surprise. She had not expected him to have grown to this extent.

Then, gritting her teeth, she decided that she wanted to settle this matter once and for all. She nodded in agreement, turned around, and began packing her things.

Knock knock~

Just as Xiao Yi Xian was packing, a knock sounded at the door.

However, although the person outside sounded as if he were asking for permission, he pushed the door open on his own as soon as the knocking stopped.

Then, a middle-aged man's voice came from outside. "Xiao Yi Xian, have you made up your mind? As long as you hand over the Mysterious Tier Cultivation Method and Fighting Skill, I'll take you as my wife. That way, not only can I keep you safe, but you can also focus on studying medicinal principles here."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian sneered inwardly. Boss Yao was already over fifty, yet he still wanted to marry her and get both the woman and the treasure?

Besides, having stayed at Myriad Medicine House for so many years, how could she not understand the situation here?

The reason Myriad Medicine House could stand on equal footing with the three major mercenary groups of Qingshan Town was entirely due to the special status of healers among mercenaries.

Boss Yao had originally been a healer, and he had never experienced much combat. Did he really think that once he obtained a treasure, he could protect himself?

He would probably get it in the morning and be wiped out by the three major mercenary groups that afternoon!

Boss Yao entered the room and swept his gaze around it.

Then his expression changed slightly when his eyes landed on the young man in the room, his brows furrowing.

With a wave of his hand, the four guards behind him filed in, drawing their weapons and aiming them at the two people in the room.

"Xiao Yi Xian, who is this?"

The middle-aged man looked toward Xiao Yi Xian, who had her head lowered as she continued packing her belongings, and asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Lin Feng."

Having heard the middle-aged man's words just now, a trace of killing intent flashed through Lin Feng's eyes, though his tone remained calm.

"Lin Feng? Weren't you chased into the Monster Mountain Range by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

Boss Yao froze at that, then a flash of delight passed through his eyes. He smiled politely. "Hehe, I didn't expect little brother Lin Feng to be so capable, actually managing to emerge from the Monster Mountain Range after being hunted by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. I truly admire you."

"Just luck."

Lin Feng casually raised his eyes and smiled. "Xiao Yi Xian and I are leaving shortly. Would you mind making way?"

Boss Yao's cheek twitched slightly as he smiled. "Meeting is fate. Since little brother has come to our Myriad Medicine House, you should naturally stay a while longer. What I like most is making friends with people like you."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took another step back and made a slight gesture with his hand.

The guards immediately understood. They quickly stepped forward and shut the door, then stood in place, blocking the entrance completely.

Seeing the guards' smooth, practiced movements, Boss Yao nodded in satisfaction.

He had long heard that Lin Feng possessed treasures obtained from a cave. Now that Lin Feng had delivered himself to his doorstep, there was no way he would let him leave so easily.

"Hehe, one Nine-Star Dou Practitioner and four Four-Star Dou Practitioners think they can block my way? You really don't know your limits!"

Seeing their actions, Lin Feng sneered. He gave Xiao Yi Xian, who had already finished packing, a look, signaling for her to deal with the four Four-Star Dou Practitioners.

Then Lin Feng vanished from where he stood and charged straight at Boss Yao.

"Quick, stop him!"

Boss Yao had originally been a healer, and after so many peaceful years, his combat instincts were naturally terrible.

Seeing Lin Feng closing in, he instinctively called for the guards at his side.

However, when he looked around, he discovered that the guards beside him had somehow already fallen unconscious.

With no time to use a Fighting Skill, Boss Yao could only cross his arms and prepare to take Lin Feng's Fighting Skill head-on.

After all, according to the information he had received, Lin Feng was merely a somewhat formidable Two-star Dou Zhe.

Once he withstood this Fighting Skill and got his bearings, could he really lose to Lin Feng?

Splat~

The moment he came into contact with Lin Feng, Boss Yao felt a scorching sensation in both arms. Then intense pain rapidly spread outward from them.

Immediately afterward, his body felt weightless, and his feet swiftly left the wooden floor. The scenery at his side began racing backward as well.

Boss Yao slammed heavily into the room's door. After a burst of crackling sounds, both he and the door vanished from their original spots.

However, knowing that Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian were about to leave, Boss Yao thoughtfully used his back to violently "open" the door for them.

Yet the helpful Boss Yao was also sent flying several meters away alongside splintered pieces of wood.

Lin Feng withdrew his hand and said to Xiao Yi Xian beside him, "The trouble's dealt with now. Let's go."

"You defeated Boss Yao, a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner, in one move. It seems you really can fight Mu She."

Seeing Lin Feng's formidable combat strength, most of Xiao Yi Xian's previous worries immediately vanished.

Lin Feng tilted his head slightly. "Don't let your guard down. Although Boss Yao is a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner, his actual combat strength is inferior even to He Meng, that Eight-Star Dou Practitioner."

After saying that, Lin Feng took the lead and walked out.

"Hmph, so I can't even praise you now?" Xiao Yi Xian gave a soft huff and hurried after him.

Cough, cough.

Seeing Lin Feng arrive beside him, Boss Yao, sprawled on the ground, wanted to say something.

But the moment he opened his mouth, blood surged into his throat and forced back the words he wanted to say, leaving him able to make only meaningless groans.

Seeing this, Lin Feng knew he wanted to beg for mercy, but he could not be bothered to waste words on him. He viciously kicked Boss Yao in the throat, ending his life.

After all, Lin Feng had already decided where to bury him the moment he tried to force Xiao Yi Xian into marriage.

Because Xiao Yi Xian was the woman Lin Feng had chosen for himself. He would not allow anyone else to lay a hand on her!

Then Lin Feng bent down, took the Storage Ring, and discovered that it contained quite a few good Medicinal Herbs. He put it away before taking Xiao Yi Xian toward the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's base.
