What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Imp

As the first Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) roared, the other two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s charged toward Xiao Yan simultaneously.

Without needing the reminder from the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level), Xiao Yan's display of speed had shocked the other two. Not to mention that he had even repelled the first Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)!

Who in the world could achieve such a feat? If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would have dismissed it as nonsense!

Though they didn't know why Xiao Yan possessed speed and strength so far beyond his level, they were aware that he was currently only a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)! If they allowed him to continue growing like this, the consequences would be unimaginable! They had to strike him down before he could fully develop!

Today, he must die here!

(Xiao Yan! Quickly dodge!)

Yao Chen's command came immediately. Xiao Yan's figure swiftly moved backward, evading the surprise attacks of the two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s. As they aimed their attacks at Xiao Yan once more, Yao Chen issued another command.

(Use Lion Roar!)

Lion Roar! It was an advanced Xuan-ranked soundwave martial technique Xiao Yan had obtained from Xiao Yixian!

In these two months, Xiao Yan had not only gained the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Flame through their companionship, but he had also learned this soundwave martial technique infused with the roaring aura of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Roar!

A deafening soundwave burst forth from Xiao Yan's mouth, sweeping toward the three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s. It made their hearts feel as if they were struck by a heavy blow, causing their consciousness to momentarily blur!

Yao Chen wouldn't miss such a heaven-sent opportunity!

(Attack, Xiao Yan! Seize the advantage and follow up! Use Violet Flame Vortex!)

(Huh?)

Xiao Yan, who had been attentively awaiting Yao Chen's orders, suddenly froze and twitched his lips awkwardly.

(Err... Senior Yao, what's the Violet Flame Vortex skill?)

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's question, Yao Chen rolled his eyes.

We were just getting into the rhythm, and now you throw this at us?

(You idiot! Only capable of using the techniques you've learned?) Yao Chen scolded in exasperation, (Just shape your Purple Flame into a vortex and throw it at them!)

(Oh, right!)

Xiao Yan suddenly understood, then stood up straight, gripping one wrist with his hand. He raised his other hand in a claw-like manner, and violent purple flames surged from his palm, rapidly reaching their peak.

(One more time! Go, Xiao Yan! Seize the advantage and follow up! Use Violet Flame Vortex!)

Following Yao Chen's command, Xiao Yan swung his hand, flinging the Purple Flame at the three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s. Upon contact, the flame erupted and expanded rapidly, forming a swirling vortex of purple flames that enveloped the three. The flames burned their flesh, and the savage aura within the flames relentlessly attacked their minds.

"Damn it! Heavenly Flame?!"

"How could this kid possess a Heavenly Flame?!"

"Don't be fooled! This is just a Beast Flame! Hurry and break through it!"

The three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s, now clear-headed, felt themselves enveloped in the purple flames. They immediately used their Dou Qi to shield themselves and charged out of the flame vortex.

What they saw next was Xiao Yan once again taking out the Heavy Black Ruler from his storage ring. His body exuded a vastly powerful aura that was gathering.

The imposing pressure was terrifying! It caused the pupils of the three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s to constrict involuntarily!

Without a doubt, the next attack from Xiao Yan would exceed their understanding!

(Last attack! The finishing blow!)

"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"

Xiao Yan roared, swinging the Heavy Black Ruler in his hand.

Buzz!

!

!

With a ringing sound, one of the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s suddenly felt his vision covered by a white light. When his vision cleared, Xiao Yan, who held the Heavy Black Ruler, was breathing slightly heavily.

Seeing the sunlight filtering into the dim fortress, the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) realized that more than half of the fortress had disappeared!

However, even though this move held immense power, the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) could clearly see that it had taken a significant toll on Xiao Yan!

Seizing this opportunity, he decided to finish off Xiao Yan!

Realizing this, he immediately looked at the other two Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s.

"Hey! The three of us together..."

But this Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)'s words came to an abrupt halt. He looked at the two torsos lying at his feet. The cross-section of their waists was astonishingly smooth, without a drop of blood. Their upper halves had vanished without a trace.

This scene left the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)'s mind in blank confusion.

What happened...? Where are my teammates? Where are my companions?

He slowly lowered his head, and gradually, his blank mind started to regain awareness. His eyes filled with terror as he belatedly let out cries of pain.

"Aaah! My legs! My legs!"

He found his upper body leaning against rubble, and his lower half had vanished without a trace!

No! Not just his lower half! Even both his forearms were gone! Pain flooded his mind in an instant, making him wish for death!

While the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) wailed, Xiao Yan knelt on the ground, taking out a Recovery Pill from his storage ring and hastily consuming it. He panted heavily, looking at the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps fortress which now allowed sunlight to filter through.

Undoubtedly, the Flame Splitting Tsunami had tremendous power, but it came with a substantial toll on the body. If he used it again, Xiao Yan would truly be lying there.

Just as Xiao Yan was pondering this, Yao Chen also observed the aftermath caused by Xiao Yan.

Whew... my disciple is quite terrifying, huh? Who would believe he's only a small Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) now?

But looking at it another way, it's quite fun to command my disciple to fight like this, following orders without hesitation. It's almost like being a beast tamer.

After recovering his strength, Xiao Yan slowly stood up, gripping the Heavy Black Ruler as he walked toward the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) who was still wailing. His gaze was solemn as he stared at him.

Evidently, Xiao Yan wasn't someone who delighted in torturing others.

The Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) had barely survived that last strike, and it was indeed accidental. He hadn't intended for the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) to suffer too much pain.

"Now, let me grant you release."

Xiao Yan raised the Heavy Black Ruler high, his black eyes gleaming with an intense killing intent. The Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) immediately stopped wailing, mustering all his strength to let out a fierce cry.

"Yun Ying! Save..."

Plop!

The Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)'s voice abruptly ceased as his head shattered, cut short. Xiao Yan, who hadn't managed to stop in time, stared blankly at the headless torso before him.

The name he called out was...

Clap, clap, clap.

A round of applause suddenly echoed from the side, making Xiao Yan's expression tense as he swiftly turned around.

There, he saw a quite young black-haired woman who had seated herself on the main seat of the hall at some point. Her crimson pupils gazed down at Xiao Yan from a lofty position, her lips curled in a faint smile.

So beautiful!

Unconsciously, Xiao Yan let out a cry of amazement!

Before this, only Yao Chen's beauty had managed to evoke such admiration from Xiao Yan.

However, the beauty of this woman seemed to even surpass Yao Chen's! It wasn't just a surface-level beauty; it could even captivate one's soul!

While Xiao Yan stood there, entranced, the woman slowly opened her lips, her voice mesmerizing.

"At first, I took on this bounty mission out of boredom. I didn't expect this seemingly dull mission to become so interesting, far surpassing our expectations."

Listening to the woman's enchanting voice, Xiao Yan remained dumbfounded for quite some time, until Yao Chen's voice sounded.

(Xiao Yan, wake up.) Yao Chen's voice was deep and heavy, his heart having sunk to the depths, (This woman is a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level)...)

Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level)?!

Xiao Yan immediately snapped out of his daze, gripping the Heavy Black Ruler tightly. He stared intently at the woman, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

At this moment, the woman spoke again.

"Nice to meet you, young man named Xiao Yan." The woman leaned her head slightly, her crimson pupils gazing at Xiao Yan with a faint smile. "I am known as Yun Ying now. I hold the status of a Nine-Star Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level). Please enlighten me~"
