Are You Ready to Die?

Besides the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Green Mountain Town also had three other major powers: the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, the Snake Nest Mercenary Group, and the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

After the Wolf Head Mercenary Group began mobilizing, the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, the Snake Nest Mercenary Group, and the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall immediately started gathering information.

At the Blood Battle Mercenary Group headquarters, Captain Fei Lei could not help but marvel after hearing the report from one of his brothers.

"I never thought there would really be someone this bold, daring to kill that fellow Mu She's son outright. Even I wouldn't dare do something like that rashly!"

Fei Lei was also a Dou Shi. If he wanted to kill Mu Li, he could do it.

But he had to consider the Blood Battle Mercenary Group. Rashly killing Mu Li would only trigger a war between the two mercenary groups, and there was no need for that at all.

In the main hall, a girl of around thirteen or fourteen, exuding a spoiled and unruly air, said in a sweet voice upon hearing Fei Lei's words:

"That Mu Li was no good person. He deserved to die. I rather admire the person who killed him."

Not far from the girl, a middle-aged man spoke with a somewhat stern expression, "Ling Er, it's fine to say that at home, but don't talk nonsense when you go out. Mu She is probably already mad with rage. There's no need to provoke him at a time like this."

"Uncle Ka Gang, I'm not a three-year-old child. I know what I can and cannot say without you reminding me," said the girl named Ling Er crisply, rolling her eyes at the middle-aged man.

Ka Gang was the middle-aged man's name.

Captain Fei Lei chuckled. "Ling Er has been spoiled. Ka Gang, don't lower yourself to her level."

Ka Gang cupped his fists. "Rest assured, Captain."

Fei Lei nodded slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "Send people to keep an eye on Mu She. Once he finds the target, we'll go watch the show too. If there's an opportunity, we might as well add fuel to the fire."

"Yes, Captain!" Ka Gang answered with cupped fists before turning to make the arrangements.

At the same time, at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, its owner, Mister Yao, also summoned a trusted subordinate and gave him instructions to keep a close watch on the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Inside a room filled with a maiden's charm in the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, Xiao Yi Xian's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her red lips curved faintly as she murmured:

"I hope you weren't just boasting before. You're the first man to share hardship with me. Don't fall at the hands of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group..."

It was not only the Blood Battle Mercenary Group and the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall that were watching. The Snake Nest Mercenary Group and the independent mercenaries were also closely following the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's movements.

While all of Green Mountain Town was in an uproar, Xiao Lei, the person at the center of it all, was still immersed in a new round of cultivation.

Perhaps because his strength had increased, Xiao Lei did not take long to refine the Qi Enhancing Pill this time.

After the last trace of medicinal power had been refined and absorbed, Xiao Lei slowly opened his eyes.

"Six Star Dou Shi. Not bad!"

Sensing his current Dou Qi cultivation, Xiao Lei nodded in satisfaction. With a thought, he put away the Dou Ling Puppet again.

After finishing his cultivation, Xiao Lei rose to his full height, opened the door, and walked out, intending to order something to eat in the inn's main hall.

Whoosh!

The moment Xiao Lei stepped into the inn's main hall, the expressions of the guests inside changed unpredictably.

Some even slipped out of the inn at once, clearly going to report the news.

Xiao Lei casually swept his gaze around, paying no attention to their reactions. He said blandly, "Innkeeper, bring me a serving of your inn's signature dishes, and a bowl of noodles as well."

"Certainly, please wait a moment," the innkeeper replied respectfully after a brief pause.

Xiao Lei nodded slightly, found an empty seat at random, and sat down.

Not long after Xiao Lei took his seat, a large group of people arrived outside the inn, each holding a weapon and looking menacing.

Without question, they were mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, led by the group's chief captain, Mu She.

Mu She had already gained a rough understanding of Xiao Lei. Upon entering the inn, he recognized the calmly seated Xiao Lei at once. A chilling killing intent immediately appeared on his face. "Boy, are you Xiao Lei?"

Xiao Lei looked up at Mu She and said indifferently, "Which mutt are you? What do you want with this young master?"

Hearing Xiao Lei speak so bluntly, everyone in the inn showed strange looks in their eyes, and they could not help but admire him somewhat.

But then they remembered that Xiao Lei had even dared to kill Mu She's son, so this did not seem like much after all.

Mu She's face instantly turned livid. He said coldly, "My son, Mu Li, along with more than a dozen brothers from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group—were they killed by you?"

"So you're Mu She," Xiao Lei said blandly, glancing at him.

"Since they wanted to kill me, they brought their deaths upon themselves by being killed by me! It seems you want to kill me too? Have you prepared yourselves to die?"

"Boy, you're far too arrogant! Today, I will definitely kill you and avenge my son and the brothers of the mercenary group!"

Mu She's eyes were bloodshot, and dense murderous intent surged from his body. He spoke grimly, "Attack! Kill him!"

The latter words were naturally directed at the mercenaries beside him.

Mu She was old and cunning. Seeing that Xiao Lei was so fearless, he did not want to take the risk himself, so he intended to have his mercenaries test Xiao Lei's true strength first.

Upon hearing their captain's order, the surrounding mercenaries immediately tightened their grips on their weapons. Then, with furious shouts, they charged fiercely at Xiao Lei from all sides.

Mu She stood at the inn's entrance, staring at the young man who remained calm even while surrounded. His fists clenched tightly as he said in a cold voice, "No matter what, you must die today!"

"I think the ones dying will be you!"

Xiao Lei sneered and rose from his seat. The vast Dou Qi within him surged rapidly, and Purple Dou Qi gradually burst forth from his body, finally forming a thin layer of Purple Dou Qi Gauze Armor around him.

At this sight, everyone in the inn widened their eyes, their hearts violently shaken!

"Dou Qi Gauze Armor!"

"That is the mark of a Dou Shi! Xiao Lei is so young, yet he is already a Dou Shi!"

"A fifteen- or sixteen-year-old Dou Shi... How terrifying!"

"This time, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group may have kicked an iron plate!"

"..."

Even Mu She's expression changed drastically, his gaze toward Xiao Lei filled with gravity.

An enemy with such monstrous talent absolutely could not be allowed to live!

Immediately, the killing intent in Mu She's eyes grew even fiercer!

Xiao Lei ignored everyone's shock. With a thought, he gathered most of the Dou Qi within his body into his legs. In an instant, arcs of lightning seemed to flicker across them, radiating a dangerous aura!

"Wind Thunder Leg!"

Xiao Lei stomped heavily on the ground, launching himself into the air. Like wind and lightning, he charged toward the mercenaries surrounding him.

Xiao Lei was as swift as thunder. His entire body turned into a purple blur as his legs flashed rapidly, trailing terrifying arcs of lightning!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

In an instant, a series of dull collisions rang out throughout the inn.
