Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Legacy

"Then tell me, will your father get here first and kill me, or will I kill you, a worthless Seven-Star Dou Practitioner, first?"

Once Xiao Yi finished speaking, his expression remained calm, but his icy words carried terrifying killing intent.

Mu Li had only ever been arrogant and overbearing. Having never witnessed such a scene before, he froze on the spot.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor had no desire to remain entangled here any longer. She softly spoke by Xiao Yi's ear.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, there's no need to bother with him..."

"Let's hurry into the mountains instead..."

Xiao Yi nodded at her words.

He knew that with Mu Li's personality, he would never let this go.

He would surely seek out his father, Mu She, for revenge.

When that time came, Xiao Yi could deal with them all at once and save himself some trouble.

After learning that Xiao Yi was a Dou Master, everyone present stood dumbfounded.

No one dared to stop them again. They could only watch the pair's backs as they headed toward the Warcraft Mountains.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, I never imagined that someone your age would be a Dou Master..."

"No wonder you were so confident when you said you could keep me safe..."

"Since that's the case, I'll have to rely on you for today's herb gathering, Mr. Xiao Yi..."

Little Fairy Doctor spoke softly, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

Xiao Yi merely smiled and nodded. "Then what herbs are you planning to gather in the mountains today, miss?"

Little Fairy Doctor tucked a lock of hair by her temple behind her ear and replied gently.

"When gathering herbs, there's usually no particular target..."

"After all, entering the Warcraft Mountains to gather herbs depends entirely on luck..."

The two continued chatting as they made their way toward the Warcraft Mountains.

After an unknown amount of time, they once again stepped into the Warcraft Mountains.

The moment they entered, a dark and eerie sensation washed over them.

Relying on his powerful soul force, Xiao Yi instantly sensed a magical beast slowly approaching from not far ahead.

In a flash, Xiao Yi stepped forward, gently seized Little Fairy Doctor's slender hand, and with a slight tug, drew her behind him protectively.

"Careful..."

Before Little Fairy Doctor could react, the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear had already appeared in Xiao Yi's hand.

The next moment, a figure suddenly darted out of the dense forest ahead.

It was a Red Ice Snake, an extremely common third-tier magical beast on the outskirts of the Warcraft Mountains.

The Red Ice Snake had thought it had gone unnoticed and intended to seize the chance to ambush Xiao Yi and Little Fairy Doctor.

Little did it know that Xiao Yi had long seen through its strange movements.

The instant the Red Ice Snake lunged out, Xiao Yi thrust his spear at the same time.

Without anyone noticing, the spear tip had become wrapped in Xiao Yi's exceptionally dense crimson Dou Qi.

The Red Ice Snake was an ice-attributed magical beast, while the heartfire condensed from the Scarlet Sun Heaven-Burning Art Xiao Yi cultivated was pure Yang flame.

That pure Yang flame had long been contained within Xiao Yi's Dou Qi.

Pure Yang flame against an ice-attributed magical beast was absolute elemental suppression.

Thus, even though the Red Ice Snake was a third-tier magical beast with strength comparable to a Grand Dou Master—

Not to mention that the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in Xiao Yi's hand had been personally forged by Xiao Xuan from mysterious extraterrestrial iron. Its power was far beyond that of ordinary weapons.

Against Xiao Yi, it could only flee.

Xiao Yi's spear streaked through the air in a flash of red light and pierced the Red Ice Snake's abdomen at incredible speed.

The Red Ice Snake's first reaction upon feeling the intense pain was to flee.

Twisting its body, it rapidly slipped into the dense undergrowth.

"Trying to run? It's already too late..."

A trace of coldness flashed through Xiao Yi's eyes as the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear emitted a crimson radiance.

Xiao Yi naturally understood the principle of striking a snake seven inches from its head.

His figure flashed, and his spear stabbed down precisely at the Red Ice Snake's vital point.

A blaze of pure flame suddenly ignited at the tip of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear.

It directly burned the Red Ice Snake into ashes.

"What a shame. It didn't drop a beast core..."

Looking at the pile of ashes left behind by the Red Ice Snake, Xiao Yi could not help showing a hint of disappointment.

Only then did he return to Little Fairy Doctor's side and ask softly.

"How was that? I didn't scare you just now, did I...?"

Little Fairy Doctor's originally fair cheeks were now tinged with a flush. Hearing Xiao Yi's words, she shook her head.

"A third-tier magical beast... died just like that?"

Xiao Yi nodded. "It was only because I happened to counter it..."

Little Fairy Doctor did not say anything else. She simply led Xiao Yi onward.

The two wandered through the mountains for an unknown length of time without encountering another magical beast ambush.

"This is the herb-gathering area I often visit..."

"After walking for so long, Mr. Xiao Yi, you should rest for a while..."

Little Fairy Doctor pointed ahead as she spoke softly. A faint breathlessness could be heard in her voice.

Xiao Yi looked up and saw that the strands of hair on Little Fairy Doctor's forehead had long been dampened with sweat.

"Since we've arrived at the herb-gathering area, let's rest together for a bit..."

"After all, the herbs are here. They won't grow legs and run away..."

As he spoke softly, Xiao Yi slowly took out a white handkerchief from his chest and gently wiped the beads of sweat from Little Fairy Doctor's face.

This sudden gesture left Little Fairy Doctor at a loss for a moment.

Still, she did not turn away to avoid him. Only after Xiao Yi had finished wiping her face did she softly say—

"Mr... Mr. Xiao Yi..."

"You... what are you..."

At that instant, a breeze swept past them, blowing down the loose strands of hair by Little Fairy Doctor's temple.

They hid the sudden flush on her cheeks.

Yet her slightly burning ears and racing heartbeat still exposed Little Fairy Doctor's nervousness before Xiao Yi...

"Miss, why do you seem a little nervous...?"

Xiao Yi knowingly asked, murmuring softly.

Only then did Little Fairy Doctor come back to her senses. She shifted slightly to the side, her rosy lips moving as she said, "Mr. Xiao Yi, it's getting late. Let's gather herbs first..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Little Fairy Doctor turned and walked toward the herb-gathering area behind them.

Watching her retreating figure, Xiao Yi could not help curling his lips into a slight smile. "This girl really can't take a tease..."

Xiao Yi shook his head and followed her forward.

After wandering through the herb-gathering area for a while, the blush on Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks finally returned to normal.

Her deep eyes kept scanning the surroundings, searching for the medicinal herbs she needed.

"Rustle..."

A gust of wind passed by, causing the withered grass in the distance to brush together with a soft rustling sound.

Yet this faint noise made Little Fairy Doctor's body tremble involuntarily.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yi could not stop the corner of his mouth from lifting.

"Don't worry..."

"I've checked. It's safe around here. There won't be any magical beasts for the time being..."

Only then did Little Fairy Doctor relax.
