Punishment Complete

Watching Xiao Yu's aura steadily rise, Mu She and Gan Mu felt a flicker of unease in their eyes and unleashed their signature techniques as well.

"Mad Lion's Roar!"

"River-Cutting Hand!"

In an instant, Xiao Yu's momentum surged to its peak, and even the temperature in the surrounding alleys rose sharply.

The red glow on the Thousand Flame Spear reached its zenith in an instant. Xiao Yu swung his spear down fiercely, and a crimson crane phantom over thirty feet long shot out from the spear. Wherever it passed, raging flames ignited, forming a road of fire that stretched out from before Xiao Yu.

The intense pressure and scorching heat in the air made regret flash through Mu She and Gan Mu's eyes.

BOOM!!

The enormous explosion sent everything around the alley flying. Dry objects were ignited by Xiao Yu's Dou Qi, and thick smoke and flames filled the area.

Amid the smoke, Xiao Yu leaned on the Thousand Flame Spear, breathing heavily. Yet what flashed through his eyes was shock. So this was a high-tier Dou Technique?

Looking at the deep crater before him, Xiao Yu adjusted himself slightly before leaping into it.

Gan Mu's aura had already vanished. He was dead beyond doubt. Mu She, meanwhile, lay where he had fallen, his body tattered and mangled. He had clearly suffered severe injuries as well.

Seeing Xiao Yu, despair flashed in Mu She's eyes. "Spare me. I can give you everything the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has. Even my life will be yours."

Xiao Yu looked at Mu She's outwardly fierce but inwardly cowardly appearance and shot him a disdainful glance.

"Compared to wealth, I prefer to pull out the weeds by the roots..."

The spear lightly pierced Mu She's chest, ending his life. Xiao Yu collected Mu She and Gan Mu's storage rings. At that moment, he suddenly heard the system speak.

"Ding! Detected that the host has destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and interfered with Xiao Yan's growth. Punishment will be administered..."

Xiao Yu: ????

But he had no time to worry about that now. He had just finished a fight and had no desire to keep tangling with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's people. With their leaders dead, they existed in name only anyway.

High in the sky, Little Medical Fairy seized the moment, guiding the Blue Eagle into a dive. She picked up Xiao Yu and departed gracefully.

News of Mu She's death quickly spread throughout Green Mountain Town.

Because of a single youth, a mercenary group that had run rampant through Green Mountain Town for so many years had quietly perished just like that, leaving the townspeople feeling as though it were all too dramatic.

A youth under twenty had killed all three leaders of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, completely eliminating any chance of its revival. The remaining two major mercenary groups seized the opportunity and took over the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

But Xiao Yu and Little Medical Fairy, the people involved, had already left Green Mountain Town.

Before his final clash with Mu She and Gan Mu, Xiao Yu had secretly signaled Little Medical Fairy.

After killing Mu She, Little Medical Fairy guided the Blue Eagle down and took Xiao Yan away from the area.

The two leaped onto the Blue Eagle's back and circled through the sky once. With a cry, it spread its wings and soared away, disappearing into the azure sky moments later.

After leaving Green Mountain Town, Xiao Yu and Little Medical Fairy did not hurry to cross the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Under Little Medical Fairy's guidance, the two arrived at a silent valley.

Thick mist shrouded the valley, concealing the place. There were no paths leading inside, only an entrance from above. Little Medical Fairy spoke to Xiao Yu with a hint of pride.

"How is it? This is one of my secret bases! Shall we rest here for a while?"

Tilting her head, Little Medical Fairy asked Xiao Yu expectantly.

Even now, she had never imagined that the refined-looking Xiao Yu could defeat Mu She, much less kill Mu She and Gan Mu when they joined forces.

This only made Little Medical Fairy even more curious about Xiao Yu.

They said a woman's curiosity about a man was the beginning of her downfall. Who knew whether that was true?

"Alright! Then we'll rest here for a while. I need some time to recover as well."

Xiao Yu was not surprised at all to have come here. Seeing Little Medical Fairy's radiant smile, warmth rose in his heart as well.

But... was she really going to embark on the path of the Calamity Poison Body?

Shaking his head to dispel those thoughts, he focused on the urgent matter at hand: figuring out what the punishment the system had mentioned actually meant.

After all, the system was Xiao Yu's greatest trump card for dominating the Dou Qi Continent. Even Medicine Elder could not compare to the advantages the system had given him.

He looked around the valley. The place was extremely peaceful.

A faint medicinal fragrance lingered everywhere. There were no vicious magical beasts to disturb them, and medicinal herbs grew all around, including some rare herbs that were difficult to find. The waves of herbal fragrance refreshed the mind and lifted the spirit.

Hearing Xiao Yu agree to cultivate here, Little Medical Fairy smiled happily. Pulling Xiao Yu along in one direction, she pointed at a thatched cottage and said,

"Xiao Lan and I stumbled into this place by accident before. Since it was so secluded, I turned it into my herb garden. That's the house I built earlier."

Seeing Little Medical Fairy's contented expression, Xiao Yu did not have the heart to interrupt her.

Then Little Medical Fairy looked at Xiao Yu and said,

"I'm going to look for some herbs I need. You can wander around by yourself for now!"

Xiao Yu gave a response, then casually found a secluded spot and sat on a stone, sinking his thoughts into the system once more.

"System, what was that punishment you mentioned earlier?"

"Ding! Detected that the host interfered with Xiao Yan's growth and destroyed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Punishment will be administered."

Hearing that the system was about to punish him, Xiao Yu's heart leaped into his throat.

It had never said before that destroying the Wolf Head Mercenary Group would result in punishment!

"Ding! Punishment for the host... Bzz bzz... Error... Error... Correcting..."

"Ding! Punishment for the host: Alchemy experience reduced... Abnormality... Alchemy experience increased... Dou Qi value reduced... Abnormality... Increased by 100. Source coins deducted... Correcting... Source coins increased by 1000."

"Ding! Malfunction... Abnormality... Self-diagnostic... 10%... 50%... 100%. Self-diagnostic complete."

"Ding! System error corrected. Punishing the host..."

And then there was nothing.

Xiao Yu stood frozen in place, a thousand wild horses stampeding through his mind.

What was going on with this world? Had the system crashed?

"System? System, are you alright?"

Xiao Yu asked cautiously. Nothing could happen to the system. If something happened to it, his cheat would be gone.

Other transmigrators all had absurdly powerful systems. It was bad enough that he had ended up as a supporting character, but why did his system come with malfunctions too?

Xiao Yu called out for a long time, but there was no response. The panic in his heart was beyond words.

Just as Xiao Yu's thoughts ran wild, the system's voice rang out once more.

"Ding! Punishment complete."

Hearing the system's voice, Xiao Yu hurriedly opened his panel to take a look.
