Heavenly Prison Thunder Wing

With the final, raspy scream echoing out.

"Bang!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Shi Ba was blasted into dust.

"Hiss..."

A series of gasps rippled through the air, and as the surrounding mercenaries looked at the young man in white, their eyes filled with a touch of awe.

As for the mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, their eyes revealed a hint of terror; they were so frightened that they stood frozen in place, completely forgetting the thought of running away.

"Now, it's your turn."

Xiao Ling looked at the group of scoundrels with an expressionless face, though a trace of joy flickered in his heart; that last scoundrel had just contributed three years and one month of lifespan to him.

According to his understanding, a human Nine-Star Dou Shi could contribute four years of lifespan... Magic Beasts would provide a bit more... while a Dou Zhe could contribute anywhere from two to three years...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling did not hesitate. He took a step forward, his figure flashing repeatedly. Amidst a chorus of raspy screams, Xiao Ling returned to his original spot, though his expression was not particularly pleasant this time.

Because he had only plundered a total of one month of lifespan just now; it would be a miracle if his face looked good.

He had already asked the system, and these bastards were purely products of shortcuts; their potential and vitality had already been exhausted...

"Damn it! These bastards really are damned!"

That masked man in black was simply working against him... he just didn't know the reason for the other party doing so.

Various thoughts raced through Xiao Ling's mind, and his expression gradually returned to indifference, though a closer look would reveal a lingering gloom on his face.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor, standing to the side, looked at the young man in white's expression. A look of worry hung on her soft, beautiful face as she reached out a slender, jade-like hand, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said softly.

"Brother Ling Xiao, I... I'm sorry, it's Xian'er who held you back... I... I will definitely work hard to cultivate and catch up to you after we go back."

She knew that if it weren't for her, the young man wouldn't have taken action... because she was clear that the masked man in black was not simple. It was precisely because of this that she was worried; what if her Brother Ling Xiao suffered a loss if he faced the other party?

Only then did she realize that her strength was truly meager, to the point where she couldn't even help at all.

The only poison she had prepared couldn't help much either, and furthermore, she didn't dare to use it in front of the other party; she was afraid...

Hearing this, Xiao Ling snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the gentle little angel before him. He couldn't help but smile slightly, then feigned anger and said.

"You little girl, talking nonsense. You haven't held me back at all. You just haven't found your direction for cultivation yet. Once you find your path, you'll cultivate even faster than me. Don't complain about me holding you back then."

"Hehe, then Xian'er will protect Brother Ling Xiao when that time comes."

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor revealed a soft smile and said playfully.

"Alright!"

Xiao Ling nodded with a smile.

Just kidding, Little Fairy Doctor possessed the E'nan Poison Body.

As long as she obtained the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture in his hands, her cultivation speed would not be much worse than his.

"Alright, let's head back first."

Xiao Ling waved his hand and walked toward Qingshan Town.

Yao Wan'er, who had finally managed to get a word in, hurriedly trotted a few steps to catch up and asked softly, "Young Master, how should we deal with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

She had a bit of a selfish motive for asking; mainly because her Wanyao Pavilion had already offended them, and she naturally didn't want to let that group of scoundrels off just like that.

Otherwise, what if they suffered a disaster once the young man finished his training and left?!

Hearing this, Xiao Ling glanced at her. He understood the thoughts of this pure yet alluring girl perfectly, so he said straightforwardly.

"Don't worry, girl. I will make proper arrangements before I leave. As for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, I still have great use for them."

That's right, he intended to go fishing.

"Hehe, then I'll trouble you, Young Master. If there's anything you need from my Wanyao Pavilion, just say the word."

Yao Wan'er felt a sense of relief. She lifted her pure and alluring little face, looked at the young man in white before her, and said with a mix of determination and playfulness.

"Mm."

Xiao Ling nodded indifferently. He understood the intentions of this pure yet alluring girl; it was nothing more than wanting to bring Wanyao Pavilion firmly to his side. Naturally, he would not refuse this.

As everyone returned to Qingshan Town, a piece of news instantly spread throughout the small town, once again causing a huge sensation.

"Hey, have you heard? The Wolf Head Mercenary Group lost another Third Commander."

"Pfft, I heard that Shi Ba brought it upon himself. A mere Dou Shi daring to provoke Young Master Ling..."

"It was indeed suicide. I wonder if the Wolf Head Mercenary Group can swallow this insult this time?"

"..."

Meanwhile, as one of the subjects of the discussion, inside the main hall of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu She sat with a dark face, looking at the core members below, and said in a gloomy tone.

"Can any of you tell me what exactly is going on? My Wolf Head Mercenary Group has lost two Third Commanders in one week?..."

Regarding Mu She's anger, no one present dared to respond.

They didn't know if the boss had someone backing him, but that Young Master Ling definitely had a major power behind him. They were just employees; how could they dare to meddle in such matters?

Faced with the silence of this group, Mu She was so angry he wanted to slap them to death, so he could only wave his hand and say.

"Get lost, all of you. Go do whatever you were doing and act like you know nothing about this."

"Yes, Commander."

Hearing this, the so-called core members left one after another, whispering amongst themselves.

Inside Wanyao Pavilion at this moment, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the jade bottle and the hand-copied poison scripture before her, a touch of tenderness in her beautiful eyes as she said sweetly.

"Thank you, Brother Ling Xiao."

Hearing this, a softness appeared in Xiao Ling's eyes, and he immediately smiled gently.

"Xian'er, this isn't free, you know. When I come back next time, you have to refine a batch of poison for me, understand?"

"No problem, Xian'er will definitely save the best for Brother Ling Xiao," Little Fairy Doctor said.

"You silly girl. I'll head back now, then. I'll leave Xiao Zi here with you for the time being; otherwise, I won't be at ease."

As he spoke, Xiao Ling gave Xiao Zi a few more instructions before carrying Xiao Ba out of Wanyao Pavilion and heading toward his residence.

Originally, he had intended to give the entire Seven-Colored Poison Scripture to Little Fairy Doctor.

Later, he reconsidered and dismissed that idea, only hand-copying the sections on poison preparation and refinement, while withholding the core content.

This was because he hadn't yet figured out how to resolve the E'nan Poison Body, and with his current level of alchemy, it was impossible to follow the original plot... if he did that, Little Fairy Doctor wouldn't be able to hold on...

Back in his room, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged on the bed and began to organize the spoils from his trip.

The main items were half a portion of genuine Earth Core Life Pulse Marrow, eight hundred and fifty-six drops of the fake version, various medicinal herbs, eight hundred thousand gold coins, the Xuan-tier high-level Dou Technique: Mad Lion Roar, and the Xuan-tier high-level flight Dou Technique: Eagle Wings.

Looking at the Eagle Wings, a flash of light crossed Xiao Ling's eyes. He immediately opened the Dou Technique section and typed five characters into the search bar above.
