"Come out, you trash from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group! I'm here to send you on your way!" Xiao Ni shouted as he smashed through the iron gate. His voice echoed through the air, and to his surprise, he seemed to have broken through to a Five-Star Dou Master at that very moment.
Damn! What's going on? Could shouting be the proper way to trigger the Lion's Roar Pill's effects? Wouldn't that be too hard on my throat?
"Who dares disturb my fun?" A furious roar sounded moments later, followed by the fat, ugly He Meng storming out of a room.
He had been enjoying himself with a beauty when he heard the iron gate shatter, followed by someone shouting insults. It had truly enraged him.
"The iron gate is shut tight in broad daylight. I'd say you were definitely up to no good, weren't you?" Xiao Ni sneered, his gaze falling on He Meng.
"You..." Just as He Meng was about to curse Xiao Ni, his gaze suddenly landed on Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, who stood quietly not far away.
At that moment, his heart pounded wildly, and drool nearly spilled from his mouth.
He had seen Xiao Yi Xian twice before, so he recognized her quickly. As for the stunning beauty beside her, he had definitely never seen her before. Even Xiao Yi Xian paled considerably in comparison.
Beautiful, far too beautiful. She was simply breathtaking.
Seeing the greed in He Meng's eyes, Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian snorted coldly almost at the same time, their expressions turning much colder.
"Kid, so you came to deliver beauties to me. Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony." He Meng stared wickedly at Xiao Xun'er for quite some time before reluctantly turning his gaze back to Xiao Ni. "But barging into our Wolf Head Mercenary Group like this is rather improper. Why don't you leave your life here today?"
By then, everyone from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had gathered. Their eyes were filled with disdain, clearly treating Xiao Ni as an arrogant and reckless fool.
Tsk, tsk. It was one thing for this brat to be arrogant himself, but he had even brought two peerless beauties to the Third Commander. He was stupid beyond saving.
"Whoosh!"
Not bothering to waste words with He Meng, Xiao Ni shot forward. The Black Heavy Ruler swept out in his hand, and a tyrannical force, accompanied by a violent howl of wind, slammed toward He Meng's chest.
The next instant, He Meng was sent flying by the Black Heavy Ruler. He spat out a mouthful of blood before crashing down and smashing a huge crater into the ground.
The Wolf Head Mercenary Group members were dumbfounded by the sight.
Their Third Commander cultivated the Rock Cultivation Technique, which possessed incredible defensive power. How could a black ruler leave him in such a miserable state? Where had this kid come from? There did not seem to be any young man near Qing Mountain Town who wielded a Black Ruler.
"Kid, who exactly are you? Our Wolf Head Mercenary Group has no... no grudge against you. Why have you set your sights on us?" He Meng struggled to his feet and asked indignantly.
He admitted that this kid had some skill to injure him, but there were so many of them. Even if this kid were a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner, he would definitely die here today!
"Trash like you isn't worthy of knowing who I am!" Xiao Ni gave a cold smile, then released his Dou Qi Veil.
He Meng's face twitched at that moment, as though he had already seen his own death. When the Wolf Head Mercenary Group members saw that Xiao Ni was actually a Dou Master, the shock in their eyes instantly became boundless despair.
In just a few breaths, their expressions had changed from mockery to shock, then to their current despair. Such was the sorrow of the weak.
"He... he's actually a Dou Master!!!" Xiao Yi Xian's mouth hung open, revealing her pink tongue as shock surged through her eyes like tidal waves.
At only nineteen years old, he had become both a Third-Grade Alchemist and a Dou Master. Such achievements were indeed enough to make Xiao Ni proud. Perhaps the Wolf Head Mercenary Group truly meant nothing to him.
"Little brother Dou Master, there was never any... any enmity between us. How about..."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before He Meng could finish, Xiao Ni sprang forward and drove his fist into He Meng's chest. Eight layers of hidden force erupted like lightning, blasting He Meng's body into a bloody mess and extinguishing all signs of life.
"He's a devil! Run!"
As He Meng's corpse fell, panic instantly swept through the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and everyone fled in all directions.
Eight Desolations Dragon-Subduing Finger! Xiao Ni swept his gaze across the small fry. His finger became wrapped in golden light as he pointed into the air, and a ten-meter-long golden dragon phantom condensed behind him.
"Roar~"
The golden dragon phantom let out a clear cry, and terrifying sound waves spread outward. Long ravines appeared across the ground. Those below Three-Star Dou Practitioner had their internal organs instantly shattered and lost all signs of life, while some with weaker constitutions were directly blasted into minced flesh.
One dragon roar eliminated more than half of them. Under Xiao Ni's control, the golden dragon phantom swiftly swam forward, passing through their bodies. Their souls instantly scattered, and they collapsed helplessly.
"This...?!" Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.
Xiao Xun'er had always thought she understood Xiao Ni very well, but only recently had she realized that she did not understand him at all. Xiao Ni had far too many secrets, even more than she did.
She had indeed seen Xiao Ni use this Dou Technique to intimidate Qingtian before, but she had not known it was this powerful. Xiao Ni had not truly unleashed its strength at the time; otherwise, Qingtian would have long since ascended to heaven.
"Xun'er, do you know what grade the Dou Technique Xiao Ni used is?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, touching her somewhat dry throat.
She could tell that Xiao Xun'er was probably seeing Xiao Ni use this Dou Technique for the first time as well, but she still felt that Xun'er knew more than she did, which was why she asked.
"I think it's at least Mid Earth-tier." Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and made a calm guess.
"So it really has reached Earth-tier." Xiao Yi Xian looked at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group ahead, which had been reduced to utter ruin by the golden dragon phantom. Besides shock, her eyes held envy.
Xiao Ni was truly powerful. If she could become a high-level Alchemist and cultivation genius like Xiao Ni, how wonderful would that be?
"They're all dead, but Gan Mu doesn't seem to be here. Could he have gone to the Magic Beast Mountain Range with Mu She as well?" After killing the last two Five-Star Dou Practitioners, Xiao Ni flexed his slightly sore fingers before swaggering back.
"The Dou Techniques you cultivate are really more tyrannical than the last." Xiao Yi Xian clicked her tongue, and her trust in Xiao Ni inexplicably deepened by a few degrees.
"Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked the Random Binding Function. From now on, the system will randomly bind characters to the Host at irregular intervals. As long as the Host meets and spends time with the bound characters more often, cultivation speed can be increased, with a chance of obtaining surprise rewards."
"The current random binding is about to begin. Please prepare yourself mentally, Host."
"Binding complete. Congratulations, Host. You have successfully bound Ya Fei and Xiao Yi Xian. Binding duration: three months."
