Divine Silkworm Technique

"Do you dare? Aren't you afraid of those mercenaries taking revenge?" Little Fairy Doctor shouted at Hu Wei, fierce on the outside but weak within.

To her surprise, Hu Wei burst into laughter, madness flashing in his eyes. "Holy maiden? Little Fairy Doctor? Take a good look at the mercenaries beside me!"

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor looked toward Hu Wei's subordinates. Every one of them eyed her like a tiger eyeing its prey; some even wore lecherous smiles. They were ruthless and vicious, without the slightest trace of guilt. Little Fairy Doctor's heart immediately sank to rock bottom.

"HAHAHA!" Seeing the despair and helplessness on Little Fairy Doctor's face, Hu Wei could not stop laughing wildly.

Riiip!

Hu Wei seized Little Fairy Doctor and violently tore open her robe.

Her snow-white skin was exposed to the air. The mercenaries watching from around them could not help swallowing, and even Hu Wei was no exception. He greatly enjoyed the sight of Little Fairy Doctor struggling in hopeless hatred.

"She'll be yours later!" Hu Wei shouted excitedly.

Hearing the cheers around her, as Little Fairy Doctor fell into despair, the image of a lean yet upright figure slowly surfaced in her heart.

"Sigh!"

That sigh startled everyone present. Hu Wei's movements also halted, while light returned to Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.

Crackle!

Silver lightning flashed. Hu Wei only felt a gust of wind sweep past his eyes before he was sent flying.

He scrambled to his feet in a sorry state and glared furiously at the youth who had suddenly appeared where he had been standing. "Damn it! You ruined my plans! Where the hell did that bastard Wang Yitang go?"

Xiao Le ignored him and carefully looked Little Fairy Doctor over, clicking his tongue in praise. "I never expected you to have such a great figure!"

The moment those words left his mouth, not only did everyone else react, but even Little Fairy Doctor herself erupted in anger.

Xiao Le gave an awkward smile and hurriedly took out a long robe from his storage ring, draping it over Little Fairy Doctor to cover her exposed skin.

"Kill him!" Hu Wei finally could not endure Xiao Le's dismissive contempt any longer and roared.

A pair of silver-white wings spread behind Xiao Le. Unlike the wings formed from Dou Qi by Dou Kings, Xiao Le's wings seemed far more real, flesh and blood made manifest, whereas a Dou King's wings were merely condensed from Dou Qi.

Crackle!

With lightning flashing around him, Xiao Le shot forth like a streak of electricity.

"Ah!" "Ah!"...

Clean and efficient, the mercenaries fell one after another like stalks of chives, each with only their fragile throats slit open by a claw.

Hu Wei's expression grew increasingly grim and furious. As one of Qingshan Town's three major mercenary groups, these people were the wealth of the Tiger Fist Mercenary Group. Yet they had all been wiped out in a single day; the Tiger Fist Mercenary Group would surely suffer grievously from this loss.

"If you've got the guts, fight me head-on!" Despite Xiao Le's terrifying display, Hu Wei still seemed confident enough to shout at him.

Most of those mercenaries were merely at the Dou Qi stage. There were only seven Dou Fighters among them, and only two were mid-level Dou Fighters. Including Hu Wei, there were only three in total.

Facing Xiao Le, a peak Dou Fighter who was using a high-grade Xuan-tier Dou Technique, they were nothing more than ants. They could not stop him at all.

In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the entire tent was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.

Hu Wei's face darkened, his gaze cold and sinister as he stared at Xiao Le, who had casually dealt with all his men.

"You deserve to die!"

A gentle jade-like glow radiated from him. With every move Hu Wei made, an astonishing force stirred the air with a fierce howl, leaving Xiao Le unable to help feeling amazed.

Hu Wei's rage-filled fist, charged with power, pierced through the air toward him.

Xiao Le did not dodge. He was curious just how powerful Hu Wei's ferocious punch was. He suddenly pushed off with both feet and threw a punch of his own, its fierce gale seeming capable of tearing everything apart.

Boom!

The explosive impact made everyone's heads buzz and their ears ring.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Xiao Le looked in surprise at the three footprints, each more than an inch deep, left in front of him by his retreat. Spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from their edges.

The swelling pain in his fist made Xiao Le rather happy. A five-star Dou Fighter could rely on his body to block Xiao Le's Eight Extremes Collapse. That red entry of his had to be incredibly powerful.

"Impossible!"

Hu Wei stared in disbelief at Xiao Le, who had only taken three steps back. He had cultivated a divine technique, yet this was the first time someone in the Dou Fighter realm had defeated him.

Hu Wei himself had retreated a full five steps.

"It's time to end this." Xiao Le sighed softly.

Hu Wei's eyes widened in fury as he roared, "Who are you looking down on? I... Pfft!"

Two bursts of force exploded in his chest, directly blowing open his ribcage. His beating heart was faintly visible. Hu Wei supported himself with one hand, utterly deflated. The confidence he had displayed moments ago was gone, leaving behind only fear.

Facing the threat of death, Hu Wei still tried to put on a fierce front. "You can't kill me! My father is the leader of the Tiger Fist Mercenary Group!"

Xiao Le remained unmoved. Curling his fingers into a claw, dazzling lightning flickered across it as he thrust it into Hu Wei's dantian. As Hu Wei's Qi vortex shattered, his cultivation gradually vanished.

Xiao Le slowly stepped toward Hu Wei, who had already lost all ability to resist.

"I have treasures! I can give them to you! Don't kill me!" Hu Wei hurriedly shouted. "My father once found a high-grade Xuan-tier body-tempering Dou Technique in some ruins."

Seeing that Xiao Le remained unmoved, Hu Wei grew even more terrified and quickly added, "My father also has Bright-Grease Jade Marrow!"

Only upon hearing Bright-Grease Jade Marrow did Xiao Le's eyes light up. This truly counted as a treasure; even a single drop was worth more than ten thousand gold and nearly impossible to obtain.

However, Xiao Le did not believe Hu Wei would obediently hand over the Bright-Grease Jade Marrow.

Pfft!

Xiao Le decisively clenched Hu Wei's beating heart. With a bursting sound, Hu Wei collapsed to the ground unwillingly.

Red · [(High-grade Heaven-tier Dou Technique) Nine-Death Heavenly Silkworm Transformation (Incomplete)] downloaded.

A stream of information flooded into his mind. As expected, it was a body-tempering Dou Technique. The incomplete Nine-Death Heavenly Silkworm Transformation was only high-grade Xuan-tier and was named the Divine Silkworm Technique. It contained only the cultivation methods for the first three transformations.

What truly gave Xiao Le a headache was that cultivating the Nine-Death Heavenly Silkworm Transformation required burning money—an enormous amount of money.

The first transformation alone required three exceedingly precious main ingredients, along with over a hundred supplementary materials that were not cheap either. The second and third transformations were even more terrifying.

Even Hu Wei had only barely reached minor mastery of the first transformation by relying on Bright-Grease Jade Marrow, one of the three main ingredients. To reach major mastery, he would need to gather all the materials.

Thinking about how powerful Hu Wei had been with merely minor mastery of the first transformation, Xiao Le could not help growing excited. Especially if he could gather the complete Nine-Death Heavenly Silkworm Transformation and cultivate all nine transformations to perfection, perhaps his body could rival that of a Dou Emperor.

"This isn't a place to stay for long. I'll take you away first," Xiao Le said gently as he looked at the still-shaken Little Fairy Doctor, a trace of pity rising in his heart.

Little Fairy Doctor did not refuse. Xiao Le settled her onto his back, spread his Wings of Lightning, and soared into the sky, vanishing into the moonlit night.
