Breaking the Masked Man

After saying that, he played with his storage ring while keeping an eye on the one-armed gang.

This group of people were all in the late stage of the Battle Spirit realm. They had been wandering in the Shennong Mountains for many years and their storage rings were full of good things. Especially since they were in extremely poor condition at the moment, they were being offered these things for free, so how could they refuse?

Being a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong is an essential skill for mercenaries.

"It's up to you!"

The burly man had a fierce look in his eyes and said coldly. Then, his fighting spirit surged around him, and his fire-attribute fighting spirit surged wildly, like a ball of flame burning hot.

The effeminate-looking man stopped the burly man who was about to attack, and said in a deep voice, "We are indeed not in good condition right now, but it won't be easy for you to kill us either. Be careful not to fight to the death and let others get the benefit!"

“That’s right, so I found another group of helpers.”

The vulture clapped its hands with a laugh.

Soon, a group of people slowly emerged from behind them, outnumbering even the vultures. The two groups silently surrounded the one-armed group, intending to hunt them down.

The one-armed gang would naturally not sit idly by and wait to be killed.

As dazzling battle auras erupted one after another, the three groups clashed directly.

now.

On a tree trunk not far away, Yao Yan was watching the battle. With his current soul power, how could he not have noticed that he was being followed? Rather than alerting the enemy, he preferred to wipe them out in one fell swoop, and the group of one-armed men were the bait he had deliberately thrown out.

And sure enough, quite a few people have taken the bait.

"The actual combat skills were indeed dazzling, much better than the Qi-based horse-riding technique."

Yao Yan ate the snacks he bought from Shennong City, muttered his comments in a low voice, and waited for the battle to end.

Chapter 26 Unexpected Visitor

Compared to Yao Yan, who relied on his invincible physical strength to kill the leader with a single punch, the battle among this group of mercenaries of the same rank was far more brutal. They displayed dazzling fighting techniques from time to time, creating excellent visual effects that were no less impressive than a 3D movie in a theater.

It's a shame that there are no melon seeds for sale in Shennong City; otherwise, I would be holding a handful of melon seeds right now, and they would taste really good.

Yao Yan watched the battle leisurely, occasionally letting out a few exclamations of amazement. These mercenaries, who had been roaming the Shennong Mountains for many years, were not bad in terms of strength and skill, especially in terms of combat experience. They were all veterans who fought to the death. If they lived in a place like the Black Corner Region, they would probably do very well.

Unfortunately, the Shennong Mountains are a place you can't just leave whenever you want; the two places are separated by a spatial wormhole.

Those with low strength don't even qualify to ride in a spaceship.

It's not that places with abundant resources are easy to get by. On the contrary, the more abundant the resources, the stronger the monopoly becomes, and the harder it is for those at the bottom, especially for those without much talent, who can only rely on luck and risk their lives.

……

"Fire sets a prairie fire!"

The burly, one-armed man erupted with fury. He roared and unleashed a torrent of fighting spirit, leaping up like a fiery war god and slamming heavily onto the ground.

"boom!"

As the central ground cracked, several powerful waves of flames transformed into energy circles that raged outwards, directly forcing back the group that was besieging them.

Take this opportunity.

The effeminate man, wielding a long sword, unleashed his ultimate technique, "Mid-level Profound Rank Battle Skill - Poison Dragon Cone," with his sword flashing out like a phantom, imbued with a powerful battle aura. The moment he drew his sword, it transformed into countless massive purple snakes, tearing at a two-star Battle Spirit.

The two-star Dou Ling was no match for his opponent and was forced back in one move, which also tore a gap in the encirclement.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the effeminate man rushed out without looking back.

As for his teammates, he naturally had no time to care.

Besides, they were just teammates cooperating for mutual benefit, not partners or family members who would entrust their lives to each other, so there was no psychological pressure involved.

"Let's go back!"

Vulture flashed forward, blocking the effeminate man and smashing him back with a punch. He had been on guard the whole time, and he wouldn't let any of these people escape. Such a good opportunity might not come again. He would eat his fill, and given the state of these people, they wouldn't last long.

The burly, one-armed man caught the effeminate man, glared at him, and growled, "Vulture, don't push your luck!"

"We're the ones who are being bullied."

The vulture snorted coldly, completely ignoring the other party's dying struggle.

"Then I'll drag a few of you down with me before I die!"

The burly, one-armed man seemed to be completely enraged. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he took out a dark red pill from his storage ring and swallowed it without hesitation. Instantly, his fighting spirit surged, and his fire-attribute fighting spirit was stained with a layer of blood red. There were also faint signs of fighting spirit wings behind him, and his aura surged.

"A Grade Four Blood-Burning Pill?!"

Seeing this, the vulture's expression changed slightly. He then gritted his teeth, circulated his battle qi to its limit, and said in a cold voice, "Trying to break through with pills? I'd like to see how much blood and qi you still have left to burn!"

The fourth-grade Blood Burning Pill can burn the body's blood and qi to enhance battle qi, causing one's strength to surge in a short period of time. However, the side effects are also extremely severe, resulting in either death or serious injury. Even if one is lucky enough to survive, their strength will regress by a level, leaving behind incurable hidden injuries.

This is clearly a life-threatening tactic.

The two quickly engaged in battle, and the vulture, relying on its unharmed state and the strength of a nine-star peak Battle Spirit, managed to hold off the burly man.

"Rockbounce!"

The vulture stomped its foot, and two sharp rocks instantly rose from the ground around it, piercing its waist, in an attempt to force it back.

In this regard.

The burly, one-armed man paid no heed, letting the two sharp rocks pierce his body. He gripped the vulture's arm tightly with one hand, revealing a cruel and insane smile: "Die!"

"you?!"

The vulture sensed something was wrong and tried to distance itself, but it was clearly too late.

The burly, one-armed man's fighting spirit began to transform into blood-red flames, which traveled up his arm and ignited the vulture's body. The flames instantly engulfed the two of them, and the vulture let out a shrill scream that echoed through the sky. However, he was no weakling, and he quickly circulated his fighting spirit to protect himself from the blood flames.

In that short time, large areas of his skin were burned, making him look quite miserable.

Clearly, the Blood Flame technique used by the opponent is an extremely domineering fighting skill.

"Damn guy!"

Vulture gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath. He then used the Xuan-rank combat skill - Rock Collapse - again, controlling the rock inserted into his opponent's body to grow larger. In an instant, it pierced through his body and then shot into the sky with his burly body in it, allowing him to successfully get rid of his opponent's entanglement.

Looking at the burly man he had just dealt with, he glared fiercely at the others and growled, "Be careful, wear them down!"

With the burly man killed, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

……

Seeing this, Yao Yan muttered to himself, "It seems this is going to end. There aren't many people in Shennong City who dare to ambush and kill me."

In a city with a population of nearly one million, fewer than twenty people dared to confront him. He had thought the reputation of the Medicine Clan was no longer effective, but now it seems that the reputation of the Medicine Clan still has a deterrent effect. At least those experts above the Dou Wang level are very sensible, and only these mercenaries dare to risk their lives.

The more people know, the more timid they become; those who know little about the Medicine Clan, on the contrary, are incredibly bold.

Yao Yan believed that these mercenaries did not know what the Yao Clan truly meant.

Just as he was about to clean up the mess, a sudden change occurred. A figure flashed out from the dense forest in the distance, moving with incredible speed, as if teleporting. His attacks were extremely ruthless, each move deadly. In just a few breaths, he had slaughtered everyone present.

As the figure came to a stop, Yao Yan was able to see the other person clearly.

The newcomer seemed worried about being recognized, so he deliberately wore a cloak to cover his figure and face.

Look at each other.

Yao Yan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Yao Nong, what is his strength?"

He believed that the herb farmers were always by his side.

Almost the instant he finished speaking, a familiar voice rang in his ears: "Three-Star Dou Huang".

"Eek?!"

Ling'er naturally sensed the herbalist's presence and immediately raised her head, her large ears standing up high, her bright eyes searching around, as if she really wanted to know where the herbalist was hiding.

Yao Yan patted Ling'er's head, took out a bottle of herbal essence from his storage ring, and put it in her arms, comforting her, "Don't be afraid, be good and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he placed Ling'er on the tree trunk, leaped down, landed lightly, and then disappeared.

next moment.

"boom!"

The ground suddenly caved in, and a shockwave-like blast of air spread out.

Ling'er blinked her eyes. In her vision, Yao Yan's figure had already rushed towards that person, and the two figures collided in a few breaths.

Chapter 27 Wooden Owl

"Boom~"

A violent roar resounded, accompanied by a surge of powerful battle qi. Yao Yan's charge was blocked by the opponent's single arm. As the two drew closer, he saw the other's face: a rugged-looking, one-eyed man of considerable age. The man looked at him with a hint of surprise, seemingly not expecting anyone to ambush him.

The other party frowned slightly, and the battle qi belonging to a three-star Dou Huang within his body erupted, instantly blasting Yao Yan away.

However, he did not kill him because he recognized Yao Yan's identity.

Yao Yan, who had been thrown back, steadied himself, rubbed his numb wrist, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "As expected of a Dou Huang powerhouse, he's really different."

With the power of his first-level Vajra Indestructible Body, he could overpower ordinary Dou Wangs. Unfortunately, this power was much weaker when facing Dou Huangs, but that was exactly what he wanted.
