The violent energy dissipated and the sky returned to blue.

A figure that looked like a broken doll fell from the center, and the aura around it was extremely depressed. It seemed that an arm was broken, and it fell into a coma. It fell down with a wisp of smoke, and finally hit the ground heavily, causing dust to fly.

Cai Die looked at this scene and knew that her attack was a bit harsh, but remembering what Yao Yan had told her before, she ducked and flew over, wanting to confirm whether the other party was really incapacitated to prevent an accident.

She is smart enough not to suffer the same loss again.

As for Yao Yan, he has already activated Unrivaled Mode and unilaterally ravaged the two Dou Wang.

After getting the Purple Cloud Wings and the Flying Dou Technique, the last shortcomings of the Yao Yan were made up, and the flight flexibility was greatly increased. The fast Dou Wang could not keep up at all. In addition, there was no need to consume Dou Qi, and they relied purely on strength to attack, forcing the two of them to not even have a chance to release Dou Technique.

Whenever Dou Qi gathered some energy and wanted to release Dou Technique, he was interrupted by a punch from Yao Yan, leaving the two of them to defend again and again.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous roar, Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin were knocked down again and hit the ground heavily.

Nalan Jie couldn't hold it back any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his right arm dropped directly. The bones were obviously broken. The boy looked at the sky with a pale face like a monster. He obviously only had Dou Qi's cultivation level of Da Dou Shi, but his body was as strong as Rank 6 Magical Beast's, and his strength was ridiculously great.

The weirdest thing is that the opponent seems to know when he is going to release Dou Technique. Whenever he has almost accumulated Dou Qi, the opponent will always punch him and interrupt the accumulation process.

Unfortunately, he was not as fast as his opponent, so he could only be beaten passively and could not fight back at all. Ordinary Dou Technique could not even break the opponent's defense.

Xiao Lin is not much better than Nalan Jie. His only advantage is that his bones are strong and his arms were not broken. Even the blood in his mouth was swallowed by him. Feeling the numbness in his arms, he looked up at the young man in the sky, smiled bitterly, and surrendered. "I admit defeat and let you do whatever you want!"

He knew that if they continued to fight, the two of them would be beaten to death. If the other party had not had the intention to kill, they would probably be lying dead by now.

"Brother Xiao?!"

Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Lin in shock. He did not expect that the other party would admit defeat. How could he admit defeat, even if he died?

Xiao Lin shook his head, then looked at Yao Yan and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency should not be from the Jia Ma Empire. This should be a misunderstanding!"

With the strength and age shown by Yao Yan, it is impossible for the other party to be Jia Ma Empire. And if Snake-Woman was really Medusa Queen, how could he willingly follow a human man? Everything is just their self-righteous conjecture.

Now that I've been beaten and faced with the threat of death, my head naturally clears up.

Brother Xiao?

The smile on Yao Yan's face became a little thicker. He stared at Xiao Lin and said jokingly, "When I was trying to reason with you, you wanted to talk to me about force. Now that I can't fight, you want to reason with me again. You Jia Ma Empire people are really interesting."

Nalan Jie Hearing this, his face suddenly turned red and his neck thickened, and he felt anxious for a moment.

Xiao Lin sighed helplessly, without retorting, waiting indifferently for the judgment of fate. According to his judgment, the other party should not have murderous intentions. From the beginning to the end, the other party had a cat-and-mouse attitude.

Yao Yan thought for a moment, raised his hands to the two of them, and said with a smile, "You can kill us or not, but since this has happened, you must leave some life money and give me all your Storage Ring."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Lin took off Storage Ring from his index finger and threw it to Yao Yan.

Nalan Jie hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and threw Storage Ring to Yao Yan.

Yao Yan Soul Power swept over the two of them, and then disappeared into Storage Ring. The two Storage Ring are not high-level Storage Ring, and there is no Soul Imprint, rinse it with Dou Qi, and you can open it. Seeing the things inside made him silent immediately, because he was really poor, not even as good as a Dou Ling mercenary from the Shennong Mountain Range.

Purple Gold Card or whatever, he is not interested. Really strong people are rarely interested in money. Everything is barter.

What he wanted most was not among them.

Xiao Lin did not carry Tou She Ancient God Jade with him, which made Yao Yan a little disappointed. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, because if Tou She Ancient God Jade was on the opponent's body, it would be really difficult for him to snatch it. At least he couldn't let Tou She Ancient God Jade disappear here.

But in this case, the two of them obviously have no value in living.

"A bit poor."

Yao Yan told the truth, put the two Storage Ring away, then looked at the two people below, and sighed with regret, "The things in Storage Ring don't seem to be enough to buy your lives."

"This..."

Xiao Lin was shocked when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Yao Yan had already rushed towards the two of them.

Nalan Jie and Xiao Lin still wanted to resist, but facing Yao Yan with full firepower, their strength was much different. Yao Yan was bathed in bronze, with silver starlight flowing around him. Dou Qi destroyed Xiao Lin with a slap, directly hitting his heart. With the bulge in his back, the whole person flew backwards.

Nalan Jie punched Yao Yan on the back, but it did not shake him at all. He responded with a hand knife. In his frightened and angry eyes, the Golden Flame knife quickly enlarged, so fast that he could hardly react. Then everything in front of him turned black, and he seemed to see his own feet at the last moment.

Yao Yan raised his hand to call out Illusory Gold Flame, and burned Nalan Jie's corpse. With his Soul Power, it was impossible for the other party to escape even with a wisp of Soul Power.

Finished disposing of Nalan Jie's body.

He turned around and walked towards Xiao Lin who was standing aside, and disposed of his body as well.

At this moment, Cai Die arrived belatedly with the old man who looked like a corpse. She was surprised to see Yao Yan destroying the corpse. She looked embarrassed for a moment and wanted to speak to stop him, but she didn't know what to say, because the two of them had already been dealt with, and it seemed that it was too late to persuade him.

"If you don't kill them, your true identity will be exposed and it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. You have also seen their attitude before."

Yao Yan explained, and then asked Cai Die to throw the old man's body over.

Cai Die heard this and whispered, "... Can we not kill him? We can leave Jia Ma Empire."

She did not throw the old man who was still alive to Yao Yan, as if she had a persistence in her heart.

Yao Yan knew that Cai Die was kind and gentle in his heart, but this kindness and gentleness were obviously not suitable for use on the enemy, even if the opponent was not a life and death enemy. He walked to his side, regardless of the other party's emotions, stretched out his hand to burn the old man who was not dead, and looked at the golden Illusory Gold Flame and the old man who was gradually disappearing.

He whispered softly, "This is a world where people cannibalize people. This is the case wherever we go. If Snake-People Tribe is weak, your entire tribe will be eaten up by the Jia Ma Empire. Similarly, if we are not strong enough during this trip, you will become their prisoner and suffer humiliation. I will also die in their hands. At that time, they will not listen to our pleas."

Cai Die thought that when she walked out of the Snake-People Tribe, she would be able to escape from the cage and gain freedom. Little did she know that she was just going from a safe cage to a dangerous cage.

Of course, there is another reason why he did not tell Cai Die, that is, Xiao Lin must die. Unless he dies, Tou She Ancient God Jade cannot take it away. It contains a ray of Xiao Lin's soul, which is used to confirm the life and death of Xiao Family Patriarch and locate the location of Tou She Ancient God Jade.

Once Xiao Lin dies, Xiao Family will inevitably be in turmoil for a period of time, and Yao Yan can take the opportunity to take away Storage Ring from Tou She Ancient God Jade and Yao Lao!

This is the real reason why he killed people, otherwise Dou Wang and Yao Yan of the Jia Ma Empire would really have no interest in killing them.

Cai Die's mood became depressed. She suddenly discovered that the outside world was not as beautiful as she imagined.
