Could He Be a Dou Emperor?

Mu Li, the young leader, clutched his broken right arm as he ran all the way back to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp. His face was drenched in cold sweat from the pain. Staggering into the tent, he dropped to his knees with a thud.

Mu She was sitting inside the tent, wiping down his weapon. When he saw his son return in such a miserable state, his brow furrowed sharply, and he set down the weapon in his hand.

"What happened? Who injured you like this?"

"Father! You have to avenge me!" Mu Li knelt on the ground, his face twisted with pain and hatred, his voice trembling.

"A kid came to Qingshan Town. He looked young, but he was vicious! He killed several of our brothers and dislocated my arm! Father, you have to kill him!"

Mu She's face turned livid after hearing this. He abruptly rose and headed out of the tent. "Get up and lead the way! I want to see who has the nerve to lay a hand on Mu She's son!"

After saying that, he gathered quite a few eight- and nine-star Dou Zhes from the mercenary group, and the group marched grandly toward the center of Qingshan Town.

Before long, Mu She led his men to Xiao Yun. Mu Li stood beside his father. Though his face was still slick with cold sweat from the pain, his expression had become arrogant again.

"Kid! My father's here! You're dead now!"

"Weren't you so good at fighting? Let's see how arrogant you can be now! My father is the strongest mercenary leader in Qingshan Town. You're definitely dead today!"

Mu Li pointed at Xiao Yun and unleashed a stream of sneers and taunts, as though his father's arrival had already secured victory.

The surrounding mercenaries also began jeering, shouting for Mu She to hurry up and kill this kid who did not know his place.

Yet Xiao Yun stood there facing Mu She and his group, his expression remarkably calm.

Mu She quickly sized Xiao Yun up. Seeing that he truly was young, he looked down on him somewhat. After all, how strong could a teenager possibly be?

So he did not waste any words. Dou Qi erupted from his body as he slammed a palm toward Xiao Yun.

He had used his full strength in that strike. After all, his son's arm had been dislocated, so this kid clearly had some skill. He could not afford to be careless.

However, his expression froze the next second.

Xiao Yun casually raised his hand and struck out with a palm. The instant the two palm blasts collided, Mu She felt an incomparably terrifying force travel up his arm. He was sent flying and crashed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Mu She lay on the ground in agonizing pain. Struggling to raise his head, he looked at Xiao Yun with eyes full of terror and disbelief.

That was impossible!

He was a Dou Shi. He had dominated Qingshan Town for so many years and encountered few opponents, yet this youth had casually struck him down with a single palm?

Just how terrifying was this kid's strength?

The more Mu She thought about it, the more frightened he became. As the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, he had seen his share of things. The power behind that palm strike definitely could not have come from a Dou Shi. Even a Da Dou Shi might not possess such strength.

Could he be a Dou Ling?

The moment Mu She thought of that, his entire body jolted. He hurriedly said, "Lord Dou Ling, spare my life! I failed to recognize your greatness and offended you. I beg you to forgive me!"

"Lord Dou Ling?"

Mu Li froze on the spot when he heard that, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"Father! What did you call him? A Dou Ling? How is that possible!"

"How could a teenager like him possibly be a Lord Dou Ling? Did you make a mistake?"

Mu Li was completely dumbfounded. He felt certain his father had made a mistake. There were only a handful of teenage Dou Ling experts in the entire Jia Ma Empire. How could one possibly appear in a place like Qingshan Town?

However, Mu She did not pay any attention to his son. He remained sprawled on the ground, trembling as he stared at Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun found the sight of the father and son—one shocked, the other terrified—rather amusing. He said nothing and merely began circulating the Dou Qi within his body.

A layer of pale cyan Dou Qi light emerged from his body, then swiftly gathered behind his back, gradually unfolding into a pair of wings formed from Dou Qi.

The cyan Dou Qi wings gleamed beneath the sunlight. Every pattern was clearly visible, radiating a suffocating pressure.

The entire street of Qingshan Town fell silent in an instant.

Mu She's expression completely froze as he lay on the ground. His face filled with shock, his mouth hanging open, yet he could not utter a single word.

As for Mu Li, he went limp and collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale.

Dou Qi Transformation Wings.

That was the mark of a Dou Wang expert!

There were only a handful of Dou Wang experts in the entire Jia Ma Empire. Every one of them was a great figure who could awe an entire region. Yet this youth, who looked barely more than a teenager, was actually a Dou Wang?

Mu Li's mind had completely stopped working. He had actually been shouting for a Dou Wang expert to await death? He had even demanded that Xiao Yun kneel and kowtow to him?

"D-Dou Wang, sir..." Mu She's voice trembled so badly that he could not even speak a complete sentence.

"This lowly one was blind and offended you. Please spare my life, sir!"

However, just as everyone believed Xiao Yun was merely a Dou Wang, the light on those cyan wings suddenly grew even more intense.

An aura even more terrifying than that of a Dou Wang swept out from Xiao Yun. The pressure crashed down like a collapsing mountain.

The moment Mu She sensed that aura, he was utterly stunned. He was, after all, a Dou Shi, and his perception of Dou Qi ranks was somewhat sharp.

When Xiao Yun formed Dou Qi wings, he had assumed Xiao Yun was a Dou Wang. But this aura had clearly surpassed the realm of a Dou Wang.

A Dou Emperor.

This youth was actually a Dou Emperor!

"A D-Dou Emperor expert..." Mu She's voice was already shaking uncontrollably.

"Lord Dou Emperor, spare my life! This lowly one truly did not know that you had arrived. If I had known, even with a hundred times the courage, I would never have dared attack you!"

Mu Li knelt beside him, completely unable to speak. His face was pale to the extreme, and his entire body shook without stopping.

A Dou Emperor.

He had actually called a Dou Emperor trash just now? He had even told him to kneel and kowtow?

It suddenly felt as though his life had come to its end.

The mercenaries nearby were even more terrified, their souls nearly leaving their bodies. They all dropped to their knees with thuds, and the sounds of kowtowing and begging for mercy immediately rang out.

The streets of Qingshan Town were filled with trembling figures kneeling on the ground!
