Attack

Gathered beside the stone platform and staring at the stone boxes, Xiao Yun casually picked one of the three keys and inserted it into a lock on a stone box.

Before long, all three stone boxes had been opened. Xiao Yun took out a rare flying Dou Technique, a Black Tier intermediate sound-wave Dou Technique, and finally, an ancient, colorful scroll.

The flying Dou Technique was called Eagle Wings, Black Tier high grade.

The other Black Tier Dou Technique was called Tiger Roars in the Mountains. It was a rare Dou Technique that used sound, and was scarcely any less valuable than a flying technique.

Both were good things, but neither Little Doctor Fairy nor Xiao Yun was particularly interested in them.

The final scroll was called the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, a poison manual that recorded how to concoct poisons.

Little Doctor Fairy picked up the colorful scroll, a satisfied expression appearing on her face. "Xiao Yun, I'll take this. You can have the other two Dou Techniques."

"Sure." Xiao Yun nodded indifferently.

Suddenly, Xiao Yun looked toward the stone door and said in surprise, "Someone's coming."

"What did you say?" Little Doctor Fairy was startled, then shook her head. "Impossible. Only the two of us know about this place."

Xiao Yun said calmly, "They probably placed some kind of tracking method on you and followed you here. There are quite a few of them."

Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Little Doctor Fairy hurriedly checked herself, but found nothing unusual.

Footsteps soon sounded outside the stone door.

"Hahaha, Little Doctor Fairy, I never expected you to lead us to a place like this. What a pleasant surprise."

More than a dozen figures slowly emerged from the darkness beyond the stone door, and a young man's faint laughter echoed through the stone chamber.

"Mu Li!" Little Doctor Fairy glared angrily at the newcomer upon hearing that voice.

The stone door was quickly blocked by the arriving men. A figure stepped out from behind the crowd, revealing his face—it was Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!

Mu Li's gaze first swept over the piles of gold coins in the stone chamber, greed flashing through his eyes.

Licking his lips, he soon noticed the three stone boxes that Xiao Yun and Little Doctor Fairy had opened.

Little Doctor Fairy's face darkened slightly as she coldly asked Mu Li, "You tracked us?"

"It's all thanks to this." Mu Li smiled as a red magical beast resembling a fox appeared in his hand.

"Red Sniffing Fox!"

Red Sniffing Foxes were magical beasts rarely seen. Their sense of smell was extraordinarily sharp. As long as one of their hairs was thrown onto the person being tracked, the Red Sniffing Fox could follow the lingering scent of its own hair and find them within three days.

"You bastard!" Little Doctor Fairy cursed furiously, her willow brows raised.

"Sorry, but I just love you too much. I wanted to know where you were at all times. Calm down, Little Doctor Fairy. Angry women aren't pretty." Mu Li teased her casually.

"Trash." Little Doctor Fairy made no attempt to hide the disgust in her eyes.

As if he had not heard her insult, Mu Li gazed at Little Doctor Fairy affectionately and said, "Little Doctor Fairy, hand over what you just obtained. Then follow me from now on. Once I take control of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, I definitely won't treat you poorly!"

"Follow you? Forget it. I feel sick just talking to you."

Little Doctor Fairy's mocking voice rang out. She was no fool. She could tell that Mu Li merely wanted to steady her long enough to obtain what she had just acquired. His interest in her was nothing more than lust.

A trace of coldness flashed through Mu Li's eyes. "That's fine. I'll keep you by my side by force. Since you don't want to be my wife, then you can be my plaything."

After saying that, Mu Li gave Xiao Yun a cold look and smiled. "I told you to stay away from Little Doctor Fairy. You wouldn't listen. Now there's no way out for you."

"Heh. With strength like yours, I have no idea where your arrogance comes from." Xiao Yun shook his head mockingly, not taking Mu Li or the dozens of men around him seriously at all.

"With strength like mine, killing you is more than enough." Killing intent surfaced in Mu Li's eyes.

"Hand everything over. This young master may consider leaving you an intact corpse." Mu Li was no longer polite, casting Xiao Yun a sinister glance.

The dozen or so men Mu Li had brought were all Dou Practitioners. In Green Mountain Town, they were no small force.

Little Doctor Fairy's heart sank. Faced with so many Dou Practitioners, she had no solution for the moment.

Subconsciously looking toward Xiao Yun beside her, Little Doctor Fairy found no panic on his face. Instead, he seemed faintly disdainful.

Could Xiao Yun have some hidden trump card?

Little Doctor Fairy moved closer to Xiao Yun and asked softly, "Do you have some backup plan to deal with this situation?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said directly, "Why would I need to use a trump card against this trash? I can take them down one at a time with a single move."

"I really admire how you can still say such ridiculous things at a time like this."

The killing intent in Mu Li's eyes grew stronger. He waved his hand and said, "Move! Kill that brat. Be careful not to hurt Little Doctor Fairy. She's my woman!"

"Yes!" At Mu Li's command, the dozen or so mercenaries behind him immediately charged at Xiao Yun and Little Doctor Fairy with vicious expressions.

Seeing this, Little Doctor Fairy reached out and took out a handful of poison powder, but Xiao Yun acted before she could throw it.

Xiao Yun raised his hand. Without using any Dou Technique, the force generated by the swing of his palm alone stirred up a fierce gust of energy.

Bang!

The charging men only felt an immense force suddenly strike them before Xiao Yun casually sent them flying with a single slap.

Against opponents at this level, Xiao Yun only needed to make the slightest move to beat them so badly that they did not know how to fight back.

The men who had been sent flying quickly began wailing on the ground, instantly losing their ability to fight.

Seeing the miserable state of his subordinates, Mu Li's face darkened. He hurriedly retreated, turned, and ran. He knew he had encountered a tough opponent today.

Damn it, Xiao Yun is at least a nine-star Dou Practitioner. I have to run!

"Trying to run?" Seeing Mu Li's actions, Xiao Yun pushed off with his feet, leaped several times against the stone wall, and overtook Mu Li.

Then Xiao Yun struck toward Mu Li with his palm.

"Damn it, I'll risk it!" Seeing Xiao Yun suddenly appear before him and strike with his palm, Mu Li had no choice but to meet him head-on.

Mu Li circulated the Dou Qi within his body. Green light shone from his fist as it carried a fierce gust of energy toward Xiao Yun's palm.

"Black Tier low-grade Dou Technique: Wood Hardening!" Mu Li shouted, trying to bolster his courage.

But before his attack even reached Xiao Yun, the wind from Xiao Yun's palm made him feel stinging pain.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." Xiao Yun sneered at Mu Li's twisted expression and struck his palm against the other man's fist.

Bang!

Their attacks collided, and Mu Li's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut. He finally crashed into the stone chamber, barely breathing.

"How... can you... be so strong?" Mu Li struggled to force out a few words.

Little Doctor Fairy stared in stunned disbelief. She clearly had not expected Xiao Yun to be so formidable, knocking more than a dozen Dou Practitioners to the ground in just a few seconds.

Even a Dou Master might not have been able to do it at such speed.
