Something's Wrong, Second Commander!

"Hehe, another one sticking his neck out." Hemon glanced disdainfully at the few people stepping out from the herb-gathering team.

"A squad captain from my Wolf Head Mercenary Group witnessed it personally. Little Doctor Fairy killed Mu Li's nephew."

"Everyone, I'm taking Little Doctor Fairy back today to be punished. If you want to make enemies of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, then come at us."

As soon as Hemon finished speaking, the people beside him immediately surrounded the herb-gathering team.

"What are you doing?!" The herb-gathering team quickly fell into panic, and some people wanted to resist.

However, Hemon was an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner. After weighing their own strength, many of those who wanted to resist chose to stay silent.

Before long, Little Doctor Fairy and Xiao Yun were separated from the herb-gathering team by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Kid, are you really planning to die for Little Doctor Fairy?" Hemon looked at Xiao Yun with amusement.

"Sigh, wouldn't some people be better off living a little longer? Why insist on coming here to die now?" Xiao Yun looked at Hemon, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, Hemon's smiling face changed. His sharp instincts, honed from years of living on the edge of a blade, warned him of danger.

Hemon's skin suddenly tightened all over as he swiftly retreated backward.

But it was useless. Xiao Yun appeared beside him like a ghost and smiled. "Your instincts are good. Unfortunately, your strength is lacking."

Hemon hurriedly widened the distance between himself and Xiao Yun again. Looking at Xiao Yun, he felt an icy chill in his heart. If Xiao Yun had attacked him just now, he would already be lying on the ground.

"Who exactly are you? This is a matter of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group. If you intend to interfere, you'd better think it through. My eldest brother is a Dou Master." Hemon shouted coldly, fear evident in his voice.

"Why so much nonsense? I came back this time to wipe out the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Since you ran into me, I'll start with you and destroy the Wolf Head Mercenary Group step by step."

Xiao Yun looked at Hemon with an unruffled expression. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll wait for you to make your move and give you a dignified death."

Without Xiao Yun needing to say anything, Hemon had already begun circulating his Dou Qi. Pale white Dou Qi emerged over his body and flashed rapidly through his eyes. A few seconds later, his hands and feet suddenly became much sturdier, and the muscles across his body swelled considerably.

Feeling the surging power within him, Hemon gained a sense of security. He had used a Battle Skill that could temporarily increase his strength. Even against a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner now, he would not be afraid.

This was his trump card. Unless he faced a life-or-death crisis, he would never use it.

"Kid, giving me time to unleash my Battle Skill was your greatest mistake." Hemon sneered, stepping forward and lowering his body slightly, looking like a crouching leopard.

"Die!" Hemon raised his fist and smashed it toward Xiao Yun.

He refused to believe that, after revealing his trump card, he still could not kill a mere twenty-year-old kid.

As Hemon watched the distance between his fist and Xiao Yun shrink, joy welled up in his heart. At such a short distance, he was confident he could kill Xiao Yun in one blow.

Just as Hemon was about to touch Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun moved. He threw a direct punch that looked weak, but Hemon's instincts sensed danger. He wanted to withdraw and dodge, but it was already too late.

Fierce power rode on Xiao Yun's fist, and the sound of wind tearing reached Hemon's ears.

Their attacks collided, and Hemon was immediately sent flying toward a distant tree.

Boom!

The tree snapped from the impact. A mouthful of blood mixed with shattered internal organs sprayed from Hemon's mouth. Before he could even cry out, his body went limp and collapsed.

One of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group members stepped forward to check him, then immediately cried out in terror, "The Third Commander is dead!"

With their leader gone, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group members immediately scattered and fled for their lives.

Xiao Yun did not pursue them. Instead, he calmly walked back to Little Doctor Fairy's side.

The herb-gathering team stared blankly at how things had unfolded. One person could not help asking.

"Little Doctor Fairy, did you really kill Mu Li?"

Little Doctor Fairy looked at the person and nodded. "I did kill Mu Li. If you don't want to be implicated, leave now."

The moment those words were spoken, an uproar swept through the herb-gathering team.

Green Mountain Town. The squad captain had finally arrived. As soon as he entered the town, he spotted a group of people.

"Second Commander!"

"Something's wrong, Second Commander! Young Master Mu Li has been killed!"

The squad captain immediately reported Mu Li's death.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's Second Commander was named Gan Mu, a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner. After learning the whole story, he had the squad captain bring the tragic news back to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's base. Then, he casually brought a few men with him and entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Gan Mu looked anxious, but if one thought he was rushing to avenge Mu Li, one would be wrong.

"Sigh, I hope Hemon hasn't taken Little Doctor Fairy's first time by the time I get there. Although I prefer mature women, I like a woman's first time too."

The herb-gathering team was much smaller than it had been on the way back.

After learning that Little Doctor Fairy had truly killed Mu Li, many people had quietly left along the way.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's reputation in Green Mountain Town made many people choose to slip away. They did not dare remain by Little Doctor Fairy's side, afraid of being dragged into the matter.

Just as they were about to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the herb-gathering team ran into Gan Mu and his group.

Seeing that Little Doctor Fairy was unharmed among the crowd, Gan Mu asked in surprise, "Little Doctor Fairy, you're actually fine?"

Gan Mu thought for a moment. "Could it be that Hemon never found you?"

"Who is this?" Xiao Yun asked Little Doctor Fairy.

Little Doctor Fairy replied, "The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's Second Commander, Gan Mu. He's a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner."

Seeing Little Doctor Fairy and Xiao Yun chatting among themselves without paying him any attention, Gan Mu flew into a rage.

It was the first time he had encountered anyone who dared to ignore him so completely.

Xiao Yun looked at Gan Mu, yawned, and said, "Gan Mu, right? Hemon is already dead. I killed him. How do you want to die?"

"What did you say? Hemon is dead?!"

Gan Mu looked at Xiao Yun in surprise and asked, "You killed him?"

Xiao Yun nodded. He had thought Gan Mu would fly into a rage, reminisce about his past with Hemon, then declare that he would kill him.

But Xiao Yun realized he had overthought it.

"Good! Hemon died well!"

Not only was Gan Mu not saddened in the slightest, he actually clapped and burst into laughter.

"Now I can openly take his woman for myself. Sneaking around with his woman behind his back was exciting before, but now it'll be even more exciting."

"Hemon, rest easy. I'll take good care of your woman."

Xiao Yun looked at Gan Mu with revulsion. He had not expected to run into such a freak.

"Are all the people in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group this disgusting?"

Gan Mu heard Xiao Yun's words but did not get angry. He merely decided that, when he killed Xiao Yun later, he would give him some extra "care."

Shifting his gaze to Little Doctor Fairy, Gan Mu licked his lips lewdly and said with a smile, "Little Doctor Fairy, you're really beautiful. What Uncle likes most are little girls like you who have just matured."

"Hahaha, Little Doctor Fairy, as long as you agree to serve me well from now on, I can take you away from Green Mountain Town."

"Disgusting bastard." Little Doctor Fairy looked at Gan Mu with an ugly expression.

"He is disgusting. I'll butcher him right now." Xiao Yun was disgusted by Gan Mu as well and decided not to waste any more words on him.
