At Their Door

Gan Mu was dead. Only when his head separated from his body and fell to the ground, seeing his headless corpse, did Gan Mu realize what had happened.

Before he could think about why, Gan Mu's consciousness quickly faded away.

After killing Gan Mu, Xiao Yun and Little Doctor Fairy continued onward. Once they entered Green Mountain Town, they headed straight for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"You said Little Doctor Fairy killed my son?!"

Inside the main hall, Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, had bloodshot eyes as he snarled viciously at the squad captain.

Just moments ago, he had received news of his son Mu Li's death.

"Yes, Commander." The squad captain swallowed, his voice trembling with fear.

After receiving confirmation once more, Mu She's already grim expression became even uglier. Savage coldness flickered constantly in his eyes as he paced around the hall before saying darkly, "Where is my son's body?"

"Young Master Mu Li's body..." Only then did the squad captain remember that he had been so terrified at the time that he had not even brought Mu Li's corpse back.

Seeing the expression on the squad captain's face, Mu She understood at once.

His face darkened as he shouted, "You couldn't even protect my son's corpse. What use are any of you?"

Mu She leaped beside the squad captain and drove his palm down.

"Commander, spare my life!"

Ignoring the squad captain's pleas, Mu She struck his head with a palm. Before long, another corpse lay in the hall.

My son, you died so miserably!

Taking a deep breath, Mu She waved his hand and said coldly, "Pass down the order. Every member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Whoever kills Little Doctor Fairy will become the next commander."

A mercenary who had fled back alongside the squad captain forced himself to step forward and said, "Commander, on our way back, we encountered the Second and Third Commanders. They already learned that Young Master Mu Li had been killed and went to find Little Doctor Fairy some time ago."

"Gan Mu and Hemon?"

Upon hearing that the two had already gone after Little Doctor Fairy, Mu She finally sat back down.

He believed that Gan Mu and Hemon would certainly bring Little Doctor Fairy back. When that happened, he would make her beg for life but be unable to die.

"Little Doctor Fairy, I'll torture you mercilessly and make you pay for my son's life."

Mu She leaned back in his chair and waited for Gan Mu and Hemon to return. Before long, someone entered from outside.

The mercenary burst through the doors in a panic, rushed before Mu She, and cried, "Commander, this is bad! Someone has brought Little Doctor Fairy and slaughtered his way in through the front gate!"

"What?!" The hall instantly erupted in uproar.

Mu She was likewise stunned by the news for a moment before sitting upright and looking toward the doorway.

"Little Doctor Fairy, excellent. I never expected you to deliver yourself right to my door."

Mu She sneered, then strode out of the hall with a dark expression, followed by a large group of people.

The group soon arrived outside and saw Xiao Yun and Little Doctor Fairy standing at the entrance of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

More than a dozen mercenaries were rolling around on the ground in agony around them.

"You're Mu She?" Xiao Yun smiled as he looked at Mu She, who emerged with a grim face.

Looking at the mess around him, Mu She took a deep breath. He stepped forward and asked Xiao Yun, "Who are you, sir? Are you provoking the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

When he saw Little Doctor Fairy beside Xiao Yun, the expression on Mu She's face instantly turned savage.

A faint mocking smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yun's lips. "My name is Xiao Yun. Not long ago, I killed your two commanders. Now it's your turn."

"You're saying Hemon and Gan Mu are dead?"

Surprise flashed across Mu She's face for an instant, but it immediately returned to gloom.

At that moment, he understood many things. His son's strength was not something Little Doctor Fairy could have dealt with. The only explanation was the man before him.

"You killed my son?" Mu She asked darkly.

Xiao Yun nodded and admitted it openly. "That's right."

More and more mercenaries gathered around them. Xiao Yun glanced around, smiled faintly, then slowly walked into their encirclement in full view of everyone.

"Now, I'm here to send you down below so you and your son can reunite."

Xiao Yun's arrogant manner made Mu She laugh in fury. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen mercenaries completely blocked the exit.

As the gate was sealed off, the mercenaries on the scene stared fiercely at Xiao Yun and drew their weapons.

"Men of Wolf Head, whoever kills this man and avenges my son will become the next commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group," Mu She said with a cold smile, staring at Xiao Yun.

Mu She had not become the leader of a mercenary group by being some fool who only knew brute force. Xiao Yun had killed Hemon and Gan Mu, yet still dared to swagger in here. He was surely no weakling.

He planned to mobilize the entire Wolf Head Mercenary Group and wear Xiao Yun down alive. He refused to believe Xiao Yun could be powerful enough to fight so many people at once.

Following Mu She's order, the surrounding mercenaries immediately gripped their weapons and charged viciously at Xiao Yun.

Standing above them, Mu She watched the scene below with a sinister gaze. His fists clenched tightly within his sleeves as he said, "No matter what, you must die today and pay for my son's life."

"Screech!"

Just as the many mercenaries rushed to surround and kill Xiao Yun, an eagle's cry suddenly rang out from the sky.

Then, a massive shadow swooped down from above, scattering large amounts of white powder. In an instant, the blue sky was obscured by falling white dust.

Watching the sudden turn of events, Mu She furrowed his brows and shouted coldly, "Ignore whatever's in the sky! Keep attacking that man!"

The suddenly appearing magical beast was a massive eagle, a first-tier flying magical beast. Little Doctor Fairy had once saved its life by chance, and afterward it had followed her to repay the favor.

On the way here, Little Doctor Fairy said she wanted to do something, so she had summoned it.

As Mu She's words fell, the mercenaries, who had been somewhat flustered, regained their bearings and charged at Xiao Yun again.

Watching the mercenaries rushing at him from all directions, Xiao Yun raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

"Great Wind Formula!"

Earth Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique: Great Wind Formula!

It was a Dou Technique capable of creating a powerful tornado around the user.

A massive tornado appeared, enveloping Xiao Yun within it. Several mercenaries who charged in first were swept into the tornado, and after letting out miserable screams, they fell silent.

The force of the tornado blew the white medicinal powder falling from the sky in every direction. The mercenaries all around who came into contact with the powder immediately felt their bodies weakening.

Xiao Yun could have simply leveled this place with one palm, but Little Doctor Fairy did not know he possessed such strength. On the way here, she said she could help him and devised this plan.

Faced with Little Doctor Fairy's plan, Xiao Yun ultimately gave up on ending everything with a single palm strike and chose this somewhat troublesome method.

"There's something wrong with the powder! Fall back!"

Little Doctor Fairy's medicinal powder soon reached Mu She. When he accidentally inhaled some, his expression changed, and he shouted urgently.

But it was too late. The mercenaries below had all inhaled the powder. They quickly began swaying unsteadily before collapsing in waves. Weak groans of pain continuously came from their mouths.

Mu She stared at Xiao Yun in shock. "Bastard, you actually used poison!"

Xiao Yun spread his hands and smiled. "There are so many of you. If I didn't use some special methods, wouldn't I be at quite a disadvantage?"
