Little Doctor Fairy's poison was terrifying. In a short time, half of Li An's body had turned completely black. He had no way to detoxify himself, and agonized wails kept pouring from his mouth.
"Damn it!" Seeing his two brothers lose their combat strength just like that, Li Sheng cursed angrily.
He stomped hard on the ground, bent his body slightly, then charged at Little Doctor Fairy, killing intent blazing from his hands.
"Black Tier Mid-Level Dou Technique: Wind-Cloud Fist!"
With a cold shout, Li Sheng clenched his right fist and threw a heavy punch. The terrifying force produced a shrill sound of tearing air.
Facing this punch, Little Doctor Fairy had no time to dodge and could only take it head-on.
"Bang!"
Although Little Doctor Fairy circulated her Dou Qi with all her strength and blocked the punch, the terrifying force contained within it sent her flying backward.
Little Doctor Fairy's body slammed into the door behind her. Even if a Nine-Star Dou Master was weak, it was still difficult for her to take their full-force strike without injury.
Something sweet surged into her mouth. Little Doctor Fairy's face turned pale, but she forcibly swallowed the blood back down.
Seeing that Little Doctor Fairy's face had merely turned pale, a chilling gleam flashed through Li Sheng's eyes. His punch just now had been aimed directly at her life.
Although he had failed to kill Little Doctor Fairy, Li Sheng was certain that she had suffered serious injuries.
Li Sheng glanced at Li Ru and Li An, who were sprawled on the ground in such pain that they could barely breathe, and said, "If you hand over the antidote for my two brothers, I can consider sparing you today."
Hearing Li Sheng speak as though he were coaxing a child, Little Doctor Fairy mocked herself inwardly.
She was no naive child. She did not believe a single word Li Sheng said.
Turning toward the room beside her, Little Doctor Fairy's resentful gaze became that of an angry young woman. "You said you wouldn't let anyone bully me."
Li Sheng did not understand what Little Doctor Fairy meant. Thinking she was spouting nonsense, he sneered smugly. "If you're scared, hand over the antidote already."
Li Sheng did not remain smug for long. The door to the nearby room suddenly opened, and a figure appeared before Little Doctor Fairy like a ghost.
"Can't even endure this much hardship?" Xiao Yun turned and smiled at Little Doctor Fairy.
"Hmph." Little Doctor Fairy snorted, angrily turning her head away and refusing to look at Xiao Yun. Yet inwardly, she felt incomparably reassured.
Xiao Yun's sudden appearance made Li Sheng's eyes narrow. But seeing Xiao Yun start chatting with Little Doctor Fairy the moment he appeared, utterly disregarding him, anger rose in his heart.
"A poison master dares to be this arrogant in the Jia Ma Empire?"
Li Sheng punched toward Xiao Yun, but Xiao Yun turned his hand into a claw and grabbed directly for Li Sheng's throat.
Without the slightest commotion, Li Sheng's throat was firmly locked in Xiao Yun's grip. Horror appeared on his face. To restrain him so easily, Xiao Yun's cultivation had to be at least above a Five-Star Great Dou Master.
So strong! Terror filled Li Sheng's heart. Although Xiao Yun had him by the throat, his desire to live made him force out a hoarse plea. "My lord... spare me... we did not... offend you."
"But you offended my companion." Xiao Yun smiled calmly.
Hearing Xiao Yun's indifferent words, Li Sheng, Li Ru, and Li An, who lay on the ground, grew uneasy. They deeply regretted their foolish actions. For the sake of a woman, they were now about to lose even their lives.
"Be more careful in your next life." A cold smile appeared on Xiao Yun's lips. His hand tightened around Li Sheng's neck, directly crushing it.
After tossing the corpse aside, Xiao Yun fired two streams of Dou Qi into the heads of Li Ru and Li An, who were lying on the ground.
Little Doctor Fairy cast a cold glance at the three corpses on the ground, her heart utterly unmoved.
Xiao Yun looked at Little Doctor Fairy and easily saw through the injuries within her body. His heart aching for her, he immediately took out a medicinal pill and handed it to her. "This is a healing pill."
Little Doctor Fairy accepted the pill and put it directly into her small mouth. The moment it entered her stomach, she immediately felt the injuries in her body improve greatly.
"You two are poison masters, yet you still dare to act so recklessly in the Jia Ma Empire. You clearly have no regard for the Jia Ma Empire. You must give me an explanation for this." The door two rooms away from Xiao Yun suddenly opened, and three people walked out.
The three looked at Xiao Yun and Little Doctor Fairy with unfriendly expressions.
Xiao Yun glanced at the three and instantly saw through their strength: one Dou Spirit and two Great Dou Masters.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yun asked disdainfully.
The leader said, "I am the City Lord of Flowing Light City, an Eight-Star Dou Spirit."
Xiao Yun looked at the City Lord of Flowing Light City and chuckled. "Those three men were harassing my companion just now. You clearly heard it long ago, yet you did nothing to stop them."
"And now, simply because we are poison masters, you come out and demand an explanation from us?"
"Hmph." Xiao Yun snorted and mocked, "Are you really so righteous? You merely saw me casually take out a third-grade healing pill and decided to rob me."
"You speak with such righteousness, yet you engage in petty thievery. I have never seen anyone so shameless!"
"You!" The City Lord of Flowing Light City glared fixedly at Xiao Yun.
Having his true intentions exposed and then being cursed at like this, his face darkened. Another reason to kill Xiao Yun rose in his heart.
"No matter how glib your tongue is, the two of you are poison masters who committed the grave crime of murder in the Jia Ma Empire. You must be executed."
The City Lord of Flowing Light City took a long spear from the person beside him. Dou Qi circulated through his body, and he charged toward Xiao Yun.
He was extremely confident. With his strength as an Eight-Star Dou Spirit, he was invincible beneath the Dou King realm!
As for Dou King experts, those kinds of experts could already use Dou Qi Wing Manifestation. Why would they ride flying magical beasts, something only bronze-level players would ride?
What he did not know was that some king-level players simply enjoyed crushing bronze-level players!
As the City Lord of Flowing Light City charged at Xiao Yun, the Dou Qi within his body surged into his spear and manifested into a fierce tiger.
"Black Tier High-Level Dou Technique: Spear Strike Like a Tiger!"
The long spear was enveloped by the phantom image of a fierce tiger as it stabbed lightning-fast toward Xiao Yun's head.
"Die!" A savage smile flashed across the City Lord of Flowing Light City's face.
Facing this powerful attack, Xiao Yun merely glanced at it and pushed out a palm.
In an instant, a palm print formed from Dou Qi appeared and engulfed the City Lord of Flowing Light City. The imposing City Lord of Flowing Light City was erased in a moment, not even a bone left behind.
"I didn't want to kill anyone. Why did you have to come out and offer yourselves up?"
Xiao Yun sighed, then turned his gaze toward the two people who had come out with the City Lord of Flowing Light City.
The two had originally been smug beyond measure, but when the City Lord of Flowing Light City was instantly killed, their smugness gradually turned into terror. Seeing Xiao Yun look at them, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.
"Spare us, spare us, spare us, my lord!"
"It was the City Lord who wanted to kill you! It has nothing to do with us! Spare us, my lord!"
The two were so terrified that they dropped to their knees and repeatedly kowtowed to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun snorted coldly. Two streams of Dou Qi shot out and entered their heads. In an instant, two more corpses appeared in this small space.
"Ah, I had planned to take a flying magical beast to the Tagore Desert, but now that people have died here, trouble will surely arise once we land. I might as well go directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yun turned, scooped Little Doctor Fairy into his arms, and walked toward the edge of the flying magical beast. Feeling the touch at her waist, Little Doctor Fairy's face reddened. She struggled slightly and looked at Xiao Yun.
"Pervert, what are you doing?"
Holding Little Doctor Fairy, Xiao Yun quickly jumped off the flying magical beast and began walking through the air toward the Tagore Desert.
Xiao Yun looked at Little Doctor Fairy in his arms and said, "If I don't hold you, you'll fall."
The fierce wind howled past her ears. Little Doctor Fairy glared at Xiao Yun irritably. "I'm asking why you squeezed my waist. And you squeezed it three times."
"...An accident." Xiao Yun raised his head guiltily.
"Hmph." Little Doctor Fairy snorted, but a surge of delight rose in her heart.
