"Father, we can't let them go. I want Xiao Yi Xian..." Hearing this, Mu Li grew anxious. The charm Xiao Yi Xian inadvertently exuded as a newly married woman had left him drooling with desire.
"Shut up." Mu She glared.
He was no fool. Having already offended Xiao Han, he naturally wouldn't let them leave alive, but a Dou Shi might have enough strength to destroy the treasures before dying.
To avoid coming away empty-handed, he needed to placate this man first.
He hadn't expected his foolish son to lose his head over a woman.
This made anger surge in his heart, especially when he saw how unconcerned the two opposite him looked. That was one thing for Xiao Han, a fellow Dou Shi, but even Xiao Yi Xian, who had no cultivation whatsoever, looked unbothered. Mu She's face darkened little by little.
"You two, my patience has its limits. Hand over the bundle, and I'll spare your lives."
"Commander, why waste words on them? Let's just attack." Gan Mu, the second commander, looked eager for battle.
Having been stuck as a Nine-Star Dou Zhe for years, he needed treasures to break through to the Dou Shi realm.
"You shut up too!" Mu She rebuked him quietly. "The bundle is still beside him. If he jumps the wall like a cornered dog and destroys the treasures, won't we have come all this way for nothing?"
With that, a false smile spread across Mu She's face. He waved for the Dou Zhe surrounding them to spread out a little, then threatened with a smile:
"Young brother, you must have only recently become a Dou Shi, right? I'm at the peak of a one-star Dou Shi, and I've escaped from the jaws of a Tier 2 Magical Beast. The brothers following me are all at least four- or five-star Dou Zhe. Even if you have a secret technique that lets you escape our encirclement, Xiao Yi Xian certainly won't get away..."
Before he finished, he saw a strange expression appear on Xiao Yi Xian's face. Never mind nervousness-her pretty face even held a faint trace of mockery.
Xiao Han yawned. Mu She was an idiot too. He had obviously come to kill them and steal their goods, yet instead of immediately overwhelming him with numbers in a thunderous assault, he kept yammering on.
Never mind that his true strength wasn't that of a Dou Shi. Even an actual Dou Shi would have planned an escape with all this time.
Across from him, Mu She's eyes grew increasingly sinister. He had prattled on at length and still failed to trick them into handing over the bundle, so he dropped the act.
While Xiao Han was yawning, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Attack!"
The instant the words left his mouth, his body shot forward. Pale green Dou Qi burst from his body, forming a thin gauze robe of Dou Qi over its surface. He intended to seize the moment of Xiao Han's carelessness and kill him with lightning speed.
Behind him, Gan Mu and He Meng followed close behind. The three attacked with a spear, a staff, and a fist, covering Xiao Han's head and chest.
An ordinary Dou Shi would indeed have been seriously injured by such a sudden, coordinated attack from the three.
But Xiao Han wasn't a Dou Shi.
So their coordination wasn't worth a damn.
The spear flashed like lightning, arriving before him in an instant.
"Die!"
Ferocity and delight mingled on Mu She's face. In his eyes, Xiao Han was already a dead man.
"Noisy."
Xiao Han stamped his foot. A rumble rang out, and purple lightning instantly spread outward with him at its center. In the blink of an eye, it electrocuted every member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
"Oh no!" Mu She's pupils abruptly contracted at the sight. Releasing Dou Qi outside the body to attack-that was the hallmark of a Da Dou Shi!
"You're actually a Da Dou Shi!"
Mu She cried out, regret in his voice, but it was already too late.
There had never been any medicine for regret in this world.
Before Mu She could beg for mercy, a series of sharp crackles rang out, and more than a dozen charred corpses appeared on the ground.
"S-so strong!" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes shone as she watched.
Instantly killing a Dou Shi and more than a dozen Dou Zhe in the space of a breath-such power seemed simply invincible to her.
Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian wasn't afraid at all and instead looked envious, Xiao Han rubbed his nose.
All he could say was that she truly lived up to being Xiao Yi Xian, the future Heavenly Poison Woman.
"All right, you'll be this strong in the future too. Once we return to Qingshan Town, I'll show you something good."
"I can be this strong too?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up.
"Let's go. We'll talk once we're back in Qingshan Town. I haven't bathed all day, and I feel a little sticky." Xiao Han smiled, his words making Xiao Yi Xian blush.
Qingshan Town, the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Half a month had passed since Xiao Han killed Mu She and the others.
During that half month, Xiao Han helped Xiao Yi Xian consume poisons to activate her Heavenly Poison Body, while also taking the Myriad Medicine Pavilion and the remnants of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group under his command.
Since he had decided to stay in Qingshan Town for a while, he naturally needed underlings to run errands and keep watch over the town.
Ever since the day the Answering Space appeared, the plot of the Battle Through the Heavens World had already gone off course.
Xiao Han wasn't sure whether Yun Yun would still come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but there was no harm in being prepared.
He wouldn't leave Qingshan Town before becoming a Dou Wang himself, so having a few underlings was necessary.
After all, the poisons Xiao Yi Xian needed wouldn't come running into his hands on their own.
In a luxurious guest room in the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's rear courtyard.
Her soft cries came to an abrupt halt.
Covered in fragrant sweat, Xiao Yi Xian lay sprawled on the bed, breathing rapidly. Beside her, an arc of electricity flashed over Xiao Han's body and vanished, revealing his muscular physique gleaming with a copper sheen.
"I'm super mighty! That felt so fucking good!" Xiao Han also took a few panting breaths, a smug look appearing on his face.
Wrapping his whole body in Strange Lightning to do battle with the Woeful Poison Body really worked.
And it felt unbelievably good.
Even Xiao Yi Xian, who was already a Dou Shi, couldn't withstand more than a couple of rounds before begging for mercy.
He had even taught her the cultivation method for the Great Sun Thunder Body.
Over this period, both their bodies had improved tremendously. Even without using Dou Qi, their physical strength alone was no weaker than a Dou Shi's.
"Looks like cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent still have bodies that are too weak." Xiao Han rubbed his chin.
Few humans could withstand the method of assault he had now developed. Even Xiao Yi Xian, who practiced body refinement, ended up like this, let alone other women.
Perhaps only a Magical Beast in human form could give it a try.
At that thought, Xiao Han grew even more eager to obtain Medusa.
He wanted to see just what sort of 모습 the alluring, coldly proud Queen Medusa would display under this method of assault.
Before that, however, Xiao Han would have to endure a stretch of hard days.
Ultimately, he had brought it upon himself.
He had insisted that Xiao Yi Xian activate her Woeful Poison Body to test whether Strange Lightning could withstand the poison.
Now, it was true that it could withstand the poison, but Xiao Yi Xian couldn't take it.
Yet without Strange Lightning, Xiao Han couldn't take it either. As a Half-Step Dou King with small success in Copper Thunder Body, he wouldn't be poisoned to death, but it hurt!
Several months later.
On the outskirts of Qingshan Town,
On a broad dirt road, a plainly dressed youth and a middle-aged man trudged along a meter apart, their heads drenched in sweat. Every time either set a foot down, it struck the ground heavily like a falling weight, sending dust flying.
