"You little bastard, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
Staring at the violent energy above him, Mu She's eyes flashed with fear.
However, that fear was quickly replaced by madness. Raising his broadsword, he slashed fiercely toward the sky.
Boom!
The energy lion, carrying the violent force of fire, crashed down and swallowed Mu She whole.
A deafening explosion followed, and the resulting shockwave shattered the bricks on the ground into dust. The debris, along with the dirt beneath, blasted outward in all directions.
Mu She, like a broken rag doll, was sent flying into the distance, crashing into the central hall of the camp, causing it to collapse!
As the dust settled, Lin Feng retracted his Purple Cloud Wings, walking toward Mu She.
Seeing the man lying limply on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes still filled with deep hatred, Lin Feng spoke softly, "Your son, Mu Li, has already gone ahead to pave the way for you. You can rest easy now."
Cough, cough...
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Mu She, who was on the verge of death, suddenly reacted violently, seemingly trying to curse something.
However, Lin Feng had no interest in his last words. With a flick of his spear, the sharp tip easily pierced through Mu She's skull, shattering it like a watermelon.
Without his head, Mu She's body convulsed violently a few times before finally going limp.
After confirming his death, Lin Feng skillfully removed his Storage Ring. Then, he looked up and gestured toward Xiao Yixian.
High above, Xiao Yixian, seeing the young man below unharmed, gently covered her red lips with her jade-like hand, her delicate face filled with shock.
A long moment passed before her beautiful eyes sparkled with intrigue as she stared at the boy below.
She gently stroked the feathers of her Blue Eagle, then guided it to slowly descend into the courtyard.
"I didn't expect you to actually kill Mu She. I was already prepared to take you and flee," she said, glancing at the headless corpse in the distance. Her pink lips parted slightly as she spoke.
"Heh, if it weren't for the help of pills, I might have ended up exactly as you said... Cough, cough."
As he spoke, Lin Feng felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, making him wince.
He had been injured by a Magic Beast just a few days ago, and now he had been hurt again by Mu She. Was there no end to this?
"Are you alright?" Seeing this, Xiao Yixian gently patted his back with her delicate hand, her voice filled with concern.
Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively. Glancing at the ruined mercenary camp, he said, "It's nothing. I just need some treatment later. But we should leave quickly—I just took a pill that temporarily boosted my strength, and soon, I'll enter a period of weakness."
"Alright."
She responded softly and scanned the unconscious mercenaries scattered across the ground.
With Mu She's death, they had lost their leader. Just like a tree falling and the monkeys scattering, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group would inevitably be swallowed by other forces.
Letting out a light sigh, Xiao Yixian knew that with Mu She's death, all past grudges had also vanished like smoke. Pressing her red lips together, she murmured, "It's time to leave as well..."
With a graceful wave of her hand, the Blue Eagle let out a piercing cry before slowly rising into the sky.
After circling once, the Blue Eagle flapped its wings and shot forward at great speed.
Moments later, it disappeared into the vast blue sky.
Not long after the two departed, news of Mu She's death spread rapidly throughout Qingshan Town.
Upon hearing this shocking news, everyone was utterly astonished.
Especially when they learned that the one who killed Mu She was the very same young man who had obtained the treasure from the cave alongside Xiao Yixian.
The greed that had previously consumed them instantly vanished without a trace.
After all, with such a vast difference in strength, who among them would still dare to covet the treasure?
Moreover, with Mu She's death and no one left to take command, the once-dominant force of Qingshan Town was quickly devoured by other factions.
After leaving Qingshan Town, Xiao Yixian lowered her head, glancing at Lin Feng's bruised and swollen skin covered in medicinal paste. With her jade-like hand, she gently pulled down his robe, covering his wounded abdomen.
Casually tucking back the strands of hair that had been blown loose, she turned her gaze to the young man lying weakly on the Blue Eagle's back, his body suffering from the aftereffects of the pill.
After a moment of thought, she asked, "Now that you've gotten your revenge, what's your next plan?"
"My next step? I'll find a place to break through to Dou Shi first. Once my strength improves, I'll be able to move more freely."
Feeling the cool sensation of the medicinal paste soothing his wound, Lin Feng lazily placed both hands behind his head and spoke casually.
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes lit up. "If you're looking to break through to Dou Shi, I actually know of a great place. The energy there is extremely dense—it should be perfect for your breakthrough."
Lin Feng's heart stirred at her words. He quickly guessed which place she was referring to and chuckled, "Then let's check it out."
Seeing him agree, Xiao Yixian immediately guided the Blue Eagle toward a location filled with rich energy.
Lin Feng wasn't unfamiliar with this place—it was the very same basin overflowing with medicinal herbs that he had once visited while following an herb-gathering team.
However, this time, under Xiao Yixian's guidance, they bypassed the long journey on foot and flew directly into the depths of the basin from high above.
As they slowly descended into the valley, Lin Feng took a deep breath of the thick, energy-infused air, feeling instantly refreshed.
"How is it? Pretty nice, right? This small valley is completely isolated from the outside world, and the sky above is covered by a thick mist, making it incredibly hidden. If it weren't for Xiao Lan accidentally stumbling upon it, I probably wouldn't have discovered this miraculous place either."
Noticing Lin Feng's appreciative expression, Xiao Yixian giggled proudly.
"This place is indeed amazing. Training here, I'm confident I'll reach Dou Shi in just a few months."
Lin Feng nodded. A training ground of this caliber wasn't something one could come across easily.
His gaze slowly swept across the valley, which was enveloped in a light energy mist. Precious medicinal herbs of various kinds grew in abundance, filling the air with a rich, refreshing herbal fragrance.
Seeing Lin Feng's approval, Xiao Yixian smiled slightly. She raised a small bamboo whistle to her lips and blew softly, allowing the Blue Eagle to fly off freely.
Then, she led Lin Feng toward a secluded corner of the valley.
Pointing at a simple grass hut, she smiled and said, "I built this place a while back. We'll be staying here for the time being."
"Heh, even if it's just a grass hut, with a beauty as company, life will still be quite enjoyable."
Lin Feng glanced at the hut before turning to Xiao Yixian's flawless, jade-like profile. He couldn't help but tease her with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian's cheeks flushed slightly. She rolled her eyes at him with a playful glare before raising her small fists and snorting, "You'd better not think just because I'm a girl, you can get any funny ideas. I won't go easy on you."
"…"
