Chapter 197: Beating Yuan Gate Dogs

Under the leadership of Qi Lei and the other three elders, the Dao Sect disciples settled in the western part of Demon City. Afterward, they had some free time, but given the mixed nature of the crowd in the city, Qi Lei and the others reminded everyone to be cautious.

Ying Huanhuan approached Xiao Tian, smiling as she invited him, "Xiao Tian, let's go explore the city!"

"Sure," Xiao Tian agreed, then called out to the others, "Xiao Diao, Lin Dong, Xiao Yan, let's go!"

Seeing Xiao Tian invite others, Ying Huanhuan glared at him and said, "You're such a blockhead!"

As they reached the gate, they encountered Ying Xiaoxiao and Wang Yan. "S-sister..." Ying Huanhuan stammered, avoiding her sister's gaze.

Ying Xiaoxiao gave a teasing smile and said, "Since you're all going out, let's go together. The treasure hunting area in Demon City is quite interesting!"

"Alright!" Xiao Tian nodded, and the seven of them headed towards a particular area. As they walked, Ying Xiaoxiao explained, "Demon City is within the Demon Domain, so many treasure hunters bring ancient items from the Demon Domain to sell here. Most of these items are junk, but occasionally, real treasures can be found. Once, someone picked up a pure Yuan treasure here, which led to a fight between the buyer and the seller."

Before long, they arrived at the northern treasure hunting area, which was bustling with people. In this area, smooth and clean large green stones were scattered around, each covered with a light shield that enclosed the vendors.

"Ancient martial arts, Moyun Thousand Palms, comparable to high-level spiritual martial arts, for only eight million Nirvana Pills!"

"Resurrection Pill, a holy medicine for healing, can save someone as long as they have a breath left, for seven million Nirvana Pills!"

The vendors shouted exaggeratedly, but most of their goods were ordinary. Finding good items required sharp eyes.

Ying Huanhuan, with her girlish enthusiasm, enjoyed this environment. She flitted around like a butterfly, her ponytail bouncing with youthful energy, attracting attention.

As they ventured deeper, the number of stalls decreased, but the quality of the items improved. Here, Xiao Tian saw many people from other super sects. Suddenly, there was some commotion ahead, and Xiao Tian sensed through his strong soul power that Ying Huanhuan was arguing with someone. They quickly headed towards the disturbance.

When they arrived, Ying Huanhuan was fuming, while three young men with mocking smiles were tossing a green hairpin back and forth. A strong energy emanated from the hairpin.

Ying Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "What's going on? Did you cause trouble again?"

"The hairpin was agreed to be sold to me, but these three jerks snatched it away!" Ying Huanhuan said indignantly.

"They're from Yuan Gate!" Wang Yan's eyes turned icy upon seeing their badges.

"Is that Wang Yan and Ying Xiaoxiao?" Recognizing the two most prominent figures among Dao Sect's younger generation, two of the Yuan Gate disciples turned pale.

As for the third, his expression remained indifferent, clearly unfazed by their presence. After all, he was one of Yuan Gate's Eight Generals, whose strength was not inferior to Dao Sect's best disciples.

The man said calmly, "Wang Yan, I thought you were expelled from Dao Sect. I didn't expect to see you at the Sect Competition."

Wang Yan's eyes darkened, and he said slowly, "Jiang Tao, return the item and get lost!"

"Who do you think you are, telling me to get lost?" Jiang Tao's eyes turned cold.

"Why bother talking to this dog? Just break his legs!" Xiao Tian's eyes flashed coldly as he swung a slap.

"Smack!"

Jiang Tao couldn't dodge in time, and the slap landed squarely on his face.

"Spit!" Jiang Tao spat out blood mixed with broken teeth, spinning like a top from the force of the slap.

"Bam, bam, bam!"

Seeing Xiao Tian make a move, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan also acted. Both were now at the Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage and had condensed their Yuan Spirits, making it easy to handle these ordinary Yuan Gate disciples.

"Smack, smack, smack!"

Xiao Tian's slaps flew left and right, turning Jiang Tao's face into a swollen mess. With his strength, Jiang Tao couldn't fight back.

"Bam!"

With a final kick, Xiao Tian sent Jiang Tao flying, blood spraying from his mouth as his chest caved in, breaking several ribs.

"The one getting beaten is one of Yuan Gate's Eight Generals, but who is this guy with such strength?" The surrounding crowd was shocked.

"That's Xiao Tian, the one who defeated a Heaven Stage elder from Hun Pavilion!"

"Oh, so that's Xiao Tian?"

"He's so handsome!"

"Beating a Yuan Gate General, he must be at the Heaven Stage, right?"

Ignoring the discussions, Xiao Tian grabbed the green hairpin and handed it to Ying Huanhuan.

"Here, it's yours."

Ying Huanhuan carefully took the hairpin, her cheeks flushing. She smiled sweetly at Xiao Tian, showing none of her usual spoiled demeanor.

"Damn it, you're only acting tough because you have more people. Just wait!" Jiang Tao struggled to his feet, clutching a jade piece. He crushed it, causing the Yuan Gate emblem to explode in the air.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The emblem's explosion drew figures from all directions, rushing towards them.

"Afraid of you?" Ying Huanhuan snorted, sending out a signal of her own.

Seeing the signal, Dao Sect disciples also began converging towards them.

As tension mounted between the two super sects, onlookers gathered to watch the spectacle.

"Screech!"

A violent sound of wind tearing through the air echoed, and a figure wrapped in dazzling lightning descended like a thunder god before the Yuan Gate disciples.

"Wang Yan, you dare act tough? Last time you escaped, but this time, let's see if you're so lucky!" A wildly arrogant laugh followed the figure's appearance.

"Little Thunder King, Lei Qian!" Wang Yan's face darkened, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Xiao Tian looked ahead and saw the burly figure wrapped in lightning. As the lightning receded, it revealed a rugged face filled with unrestrained arrogance. Thunder patterns adorned his body, emanating a powerful, violent aura that drew everyone's attention.
