A Single Blade Slaughters the Mercenary Group, Xiao Yi Xian's Shock

Amid the noisy clamor, there seemed to be faint sounds of shouting and killing.

Xiao Tianci and Yun Yun exchanged a glance.

"Shall we go take a look?" Xiao Tianci raised his brows toward the source of the argument.

Yun Yun neither agreed nor objected.

The two of them then headed toward the commotion.

Within a vast forest, one area was not occupied by thick, towering trees. Instead, there was a small clearing filled only with shrubs and wild grass.

Two groups of people were confronting each other in the clearing.

One group wore matching outfits, all clad in fitted combat gear that made them look sharp and capable. Long sabers hung uniformly at their waists.

As these mercenaries stood together, they gave off an unmistakable killing intent. Clearly, every one of them had blood on their hands.

At the head of this group stood a rather handsome young man. Holding a long saber, he smiled as he looked at the other group, his gaze like that of someone eyeing lambs for slaughter.

The other group was much more disorderly in dress. They were clearly mercenaries fighting on their own, and whether in presence or bloodthirst, they were far inferior to the first group.

Standing at their head was a beautiful woman dressed in a pale white gown, her delicate brows tightly furrowed.

She was none other than Xiao Yi Xian, whom Xiao Tianci had met earlier that day!

"Xiao Yi Xian, we've already reached the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If you still refuse to see reason, this won't end well for you."

The leader of the opposing mercenaries smiled faintly before speaking to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Mu Li, I trusted you enough to offer you such generous payment!" Xiao Yi Xian gritted her silver teeth, fury written all over her lovely face.

"Once we descend the mountain and return to Green Mountain Town, the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion and your Wolf Head Mercenary Group will be locked in a fight to the death!"

Xiao Yi Xian's words did not bring even the slightest trace of panic to Mu Li's face.

Seeing her furious expression, Mu Li instead grew more excited. He let out a strange laugh and said,

"Xiao Yi Xian, it truly wasn't easy to wait for this chance. Your Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion has been far too cautious."

"But this time, our preparations are flawless. Do you really think you still have a chance of leaving the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

After saying that, Mu Li waved his hand.

At once, the mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group behind him fiercely unleashed their auras.

The weakest among these mercenaries were Four-Star Dou Zhes, while Mu Li, the strongest of them all, had even reached six stars!

Compared to them, the mercenaries on Xiao Yi Xian's side were pitifully weak. Their strongest member was only a Five-Star Dou Zhe, while the rest were mostly around one or two stars. Some had only just reached the Dou Zhe realm!

Such a massive gap in strength was hardly surprising. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was already a powerful force in Green Mountain Town, and they had also caught their opponents unprepared.

Thus, the moment the Wolf Head Mercenary Group released their auras, many of Xiao Yi Xian's mercenaries immediately changed expression.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Yi Xian. It isn't that I don't want to help you, but they're simply too strong. I want to help, but I can't."

A mercenary immediately stepped before Xiao Yi Xian and spoke apologetically. Then, without caring about her reaction, he threw down his weapon and walked to the side.

"Hahaha! Xiao Yi Xian, I hold all the cards here. Why not submit to me and obediently tell me the exact location of that cave? You know how I feel about you. Once I make it big, I certainly won't deny you wealth and glory!"

Seeing this, Mu Li burst into laughter, his eyes filled with certainty of victory.

"Submit to you? Just speaking to you makes me sick!" Xiao Yi Xian parted her rosy lips, her face filled with disgust.

"Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don't blame me. It doesn't matter anyway. Your ending today will be the same!"

After saying that, Mu Li waved his hand.

"Attack!"

The mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group immediately shouted and charged toward Xiao Yi Xian in perfect formation.

The mercenaries on Xiao Yi Xian's side also raised their weapons.

In an instant, the two groups collided.

Shouts of battle and the metallic clang of weapons rang out.

Because the difference in strength between the two sides was simply too great, Xiao Yi Xian's people began to fall rapidly after only one exchange.

Xiao Yi Xian's face turned several shades paler at the sight.

She was anxious inside, but there was nothing she could do.

Very quickly, the last mercenary fell.

Xiao Yi Xian's face finally turned deathly pale.

She was surrounded by mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, with no chance of escape.

"Xiao Yi Xian, you wouldn't listen when I tried to speak nicely to you. You insisted on bringing things to this point. Those mercenaries all died because of you."

Mu Li slowly walked forward, his smile even broader than before.

He reached out to pinch Xiao Yi Xian's cheek.

However, at that moment, a lazy voice came from nearby.

"A bunch of grown men bullying a girl. It makes me sick."

Everyone instinctively turned their heads.

Then they saw Xiao Tianci sitting atop the Green Ox, with Yun Yun standing beside him.

A heated gleam immediately appeared in Mu Li's eyes.

Yun Yun's appearance and bearing stirred a powerful urge to conquer within him.

Mu Li immediately whistled and said, "Miss, the Magical Beast Mountain Range is far more dangerous than you imagine. If you don't mind, our Wolf Head Mercenary Group can protect you for a while."

Part of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group then split off and walked toward Yun Yun alongside Mu Li.

"As for you, kid, go back wherever you came from. You're not worthy of protection from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

Xiao Yi Xian also noticed Xiao Tianci in the distance, and a trace of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She remembered him. They had briefly crossed paths in Green Mountain Town that morning!

Soon, several members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group arrived not far from Yun Yun.

"Kid, why aren't you gone yet? Do you want to leave your life in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for good?"

Mu Li was displeased. He then swung his saber and viciously struck at Xiao Tianci.

"You're courting death!"

Xiao Tianci raised his brows and lightly swung the longsword in his hand.

A dazzling streak of sword light appeared, as though it would cleave heaven and earth apart.

Mu Li and the others froze where they stood.

Moments later, their corpses collapsed onto the ground, split cleanly in two!

Blood sprayed forth, staining the earth red.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes widened abruptly as she stared at the scene in disbelief. The words she had meant to use to warn Xiao Tianci were swallowed back down.

She never could have imagined that the seemingly lazy Xiao Tianci possessed such terrifying strength!

However, Xiao Tianci did not speak to Xiao Yi Xian. Instead, he opened the lottery interface.

After killing Mu Li and the others, he now had enough Experience Points to draw a prize!

"Congratulations! You have obtained the cultivation technique, Primordial True Art!"
