NOVEL NEXT Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Let's Go, Xiao Yan
Most of the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company had followed Mu She to the Myriad Medicines Hall, leaving only two guards in charge of the prison cells. Apart from them, there were no members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company remaining.
Xiao Yan arrived at the fortress of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, looking at the wide-open gates. His brows furrowed slightly.
Even the guards are gone. It seems that Mu She is truly determined to end his life this time.
Xiao Yan entered the fortress. The dim lighting made the interior seem incredibly dark. The pathway was illuminated only by torches on either side, casting light on a narrow path that could accommodate only three people side by side.
After passing through this passage, Xiao Yan entered a fairly spacious hall. At the end of the hall was an extravagant stone chair on a high platform. From its opulence alone, one could tell that it was where Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, usually sat.
On both sides of the hall were two doors, presumably one of them led to the prison where Boss Yao was held.
Hmm... I should have brought someone along to show the way...
Xiao Yan tapped his head in frustration.
(At this point, I can only check all four doors.)
Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to take action, Yao Chen's voice sounded from his ring.
(There's no need for all that trouble, Xiao Yan. I can use soul abilities... Be cautious!)
"Huh?!"
Xiao Yan's nerves tensed abruptly. Without hesitation, he grasped the Heavy Black Ruler behind his back and swung it to his side forcefully!
Boom!
Accompanied by a powerful impact against the Heavy Black Ruler, Xiao Yan's body was sent flying. He crashed heavily into the wall, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"Hm? Your reflexes are quite fast."
The attacker spoke with some surprise as he looked at Xiao Yan. According to his expectations, this strike should have been enough to end Xiao Yan's life.
Xiao Yan, deeply embedded in the wall, jumped down and squatted on the ground, gripping the Heavy Black Ruler. He stared at the cloaked figure in front of him, while Yao Chen also warned him in his mind.
(Be careful, Xiao Yan! That's a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)!)
Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)!
A level higher than even Mu She, the strongest individual in Qingshan Town!
Although he had been warned by the mercenary before he arrived, seeing the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) in person still prompted some doubt in Xiao Yan's mind.
However, just as he was about to act, Yao Chen's voice sounded again, and this time, her tone was rather heavy.
(Xiao Yan, apart from the one in front of you, there are two others hiding in the shadows.) Yao Chen's brows furrowed tightly. (And their level is also Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level).)
(What?!)
Xiao Yan was stunned.
Three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s?!
Xiao Yan couldn't understand. Why would there be three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s here in this small Qingshan Town?
Though he was puzzled, there was one thing Xiao Yan was certain of.
These three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s were enemies who intended to kill him.
Putting aside whether Xiao Yan could escape from the clutches of three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s, unlike two months ago when he escaped from Mu She, that time he could escape without any hesitation or concern.
But this time, he had already promised Xiao Yixian that he would rescue Boss Yao. There was simply no room for retreat.
Promises had to be kept!
Even if it meant death!
!
Xiao Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up. He stared intently at the cloaked figure in front of him, and the cloaked figure slowly began to speak.
"Since you've made it this far, does that mean you've killed Mu She?" The cloaked figure sneered, "You're such trash. A Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Level) defeated by a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)? Mu She wasted all these years as a mercenary for nothing."
Hearing the cloaked figure's words, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he replied with a solemn voice.
"The rapid growth of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company this past month is all thanks to the assistance of your three behind the scenes, isn't it?"
"Otherwise, do you think Mu She could have unified Qingshan Town's mercenaries in just a month by himself?" The cloaked figure laughed sinisterly, then suddenly realized something and hesitated, "Wait... did you just say '[three]?'"
Facing the cloaked figure's astonishment, Xiao Yan responded calmly.
"Three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s against one Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), do you really need to resort to sneak attacks?"
As Xiao Yan's words fell, two more figures emerged from the darkness.
"A Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) can actually detect our presence. This kid is unusual."
"Is he naturally sensitive? If that's the case, it's no wonder that the previous Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) didn't contact us again. He probably felt embarrassed after letting a Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) escape right under his nose and returned to Black-Corner Region."
Hearing their conversation, Xiao Yan's pupils contracted.
The Dou Wang (Battle King, 6th Level) he encountered before arriving in Qingshan Town seemed to be associated with these three individuals!
And upon hearing the words of these three individuals, Yao Chen's emerald-like pupils revealed a hint of coldness.
It's Yun Lan Sect (Misty Cloud Sect) again...
Were they really unable to accept the agreement Yalan Naran set for three years? They actually dispatched people repeatedly to assassinate Xiao Yan?
It's a pity. If he hadn't separated from Yun Zhi back at the Beast Mountain Range, he wouldn't have needed to take action. Yun Zhi could have just revealed her identity and these three would have knelt and begged for forgiveness.
But now, Xiao Yan had to overcome this obstacle on his own.
Yao Chen understood that since there was a prior agreement with Xiao Yixian, not to mention facing three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s, even if three Dou Huang (Battle Emperor, 7th Level) were here, Xiao Yan would fight with all his might. Therefore, Yao Chen never intended to persuade Xiao Yan to escape temporarily.
Besides, it was just three Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s.
With Xiao Yan's current level, combined with the fighting techniques and Purple Flame he had learned in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he might not lose.
And there's me too!
(Go, Xiao Yan! Use the Octadic Smash!)
In the instant Yao Chen gave the command, Xiao Yan immediately retracted the Heavy Black Ruler and dashed toward one of the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)s. He clenched his fist and lunged toward the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level)'s abdomen!
Such speed?!
Bang!
!
The Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) couldn't evade in time, so he could only use his arm to withstand Xiao Yan's attack. His body was forcefully pushed back three meters, his arm trembling as it protected his abdomen.
The expression of the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) beneath the cloak was filled with shock.
What a joke?
This is a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)?!
Are you kidding me?!
A Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) displayed such speed that I couldn't dodge, and a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)'s punch made my arm numb!
What Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) can achieve this?
Not to mention seeing it, he had never even heard of it before!
Is my ability as a Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) lacking?
This reality, beyond common sense, led the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) to self-doubt. Simultaneously, he immediately understood why Mu She had died at Xiao Yan's hands.
Xiao Yan, this Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), wasn't someone a Da Dou Shi (Battle Grandmaster, 4th Level) could contend with!
At once, the Dou Ling (Battle Spirit, 5th Level) reacted and shouted at the other two.
"Attack together! Don't give this kid a chance!"
