Fighting Through the Heavens: Become a disciple of Han Li and kill the unrivaled demon Xiao

As for Haibodong in the distance, he has already begun to lament his life.

Five days later.

Thirty miles away from Shimo City, a black-robed figure slowly walked towards the city with its huge outline.

Xiao Yan didn't want other people to know about Hai Bodong, so he let Hai Bodong arrive in Shimo City in person, and then he went there alone.

Before the Yunlan Sect is defeated, his true cultivation level must not be exposed.

After slightly changing his appearance and lowering his aura to that of a beginner fighter, Xiao Yan headed towards Shimo City.

Stone Desert City is located on the eastern outskirts of the Tagor Desert. Compared to Black Rock City, it is a bit more simple and solemn. Perhaps because it is close to the Tagor Desert, the defense here is much stricter than other cities in the empire. At the intersection alone, there is a whole team of fully armed soldiers checking people.

On top of the city wall, there are teams of three soldiers standing guard, monitoring everything around the city.

Even inside the city, soldiers can be seen patrolling at any time.

After paying the taxes obediently and entering Shimo City, Xiao Yan slowly walked towards the south of the city relying on his memories from long ago.

After asking passers-by twice and turning seven or eight streets, a courtyard with an area almost comparable to the Xiao family compound in Wutan City appeared in sight.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with emotion, a little bit of nervousness and uneasiness, but more of excitement.

At the top of the courtyard, a flag swayed in the wind, with the characters "Motie Mercenary Regiment" painted on it, faintly revealing an aura of iron-blooded hardness.

Outside the compound, several tough men stood upright with weapons in hand. Their sharp eyes scanned the passers-by back and forth. Judging from the faint smell of blood on their bodies, they were real. The iron-blooded man who rolled over from the edge of the knife was not comparable to those rookies who thought they were mercenaries just because they had a weapon on their waist.

"In Shimo City, our Desert Iron Mercenary Group is ranked among the top three in terms of strength."

My elder and second brothers had mentioned this matter in the letters they had sent home. Looking at the actions of the mercenaries on guard, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nodded.

This is much better than the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, a bunch of scum!

Pulling his hood slightly, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. Without hesitation, he quickly walked towards the courtyard.

"Stop, this is the base of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, no one is allowed in."

The mercenaries on guard had already noticed the mysterious man in black robe. He stood there, staring at them for a long time without concealing his presence.

If Xiao Yan had not been inactive, they might have gone over to chase him away.

"Haha, my name is Xiao Yan. Please inform them that I'm looking for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li."

Chapter 83 Brothers meet

"Looking for the two captains? Wait, you said your name is Xiao Yan?" The two mercenaries, who originally looked ferocious, looked at each other and spoke with some surprise.

After taking a deep look at the black-robed figure in front of him, one of the mercenaries turned around and went in to report. The other one, although still trying to stop them, was not as indifferent as before. Instead, he kept looking at the other party, and it seemed that he had obviously heard of Xiao Yan's name.

Under the black robe, Xiao Yan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed but also a little warm. He didn't expect that his brother would mention his name here, and it seemed that the frequency was quite frequent, otherwise even the mercenary on duty at the front door would know his name.

Soon, a big man came out jogging, and there was a bit more curiosity and respect in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yan.

"Both captains are here. They let you in."

At last he scratched his head again and grinned, "After hearing this little brother want a name, the two captains were so excited that they couldn't sit still. It's rare to see the usually calm and steady captains so happy."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, feeling a warm current flowing through his heart. He nodded kindly to the mercenary on duty, then followed the big man into the courtyard.

Following the big man, passing through several laughing paths, along the way, many members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group looked at Xiao Yan curiously, with surprise appearing on their faces, and then whispering.

It seems that what was reported before has been known to many people.

"Haha, the two captains often mention you. The guy who came back to report has already spread the news of your arrival."

Xiao Yan nodded and did not respond, indicating that he understood.

After passing through a small path again, a spacious hall appeared in front of him. Standing outside the hall, Xiao Yan heard two familiar male voices coming from inside, feeling a little dazed and at a loss.

His nose suddenly felt sore and a wave of emotion surged up from the bottom of his heart. Unlike those who looked down on and mocked him, in this world, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were his real blood brothers. Although Xiao Yan had gone through many trainings and his mentality had become more serious, he still could not control himself in this blood-thicker-than-water family relationship.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan stepped forward. Just as he was about to push the door, he heard a creaking sound and the door opened inwards by itself.

A young man's face that was somewhat similar to Xiao Yan appeared.

He was wearing a uniform of the Desert Iron Mercenary Corps, standing tall, straight and powerful. His dark eyes revealed hatred and laziness, and he was smiling, but this smile concealed a hint of sinisterness, giving people the impression that he seemed kind but was actually fierce. I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will bite back!

"Second brother!"

Xiao Yan waved his hand and pulled down his hood. His nose tip was a little red and his eyes were a little moist. In the past, at home, even when he had become a waste, he still protected his remaining dignity. He also remembered all those who mocked him and beat them up one by one like a mad dog.

Afterwards, he left sadly with scars all over his body because he violated the family rules.

"Haha, hahaha, Xiao Yanzi, it's really you, I've actually found you!" The young man was stunned for a moment after opening the door. The moment he saw Xiao Yan, the fierce smile on his face disappeared, and then he The joy from the heart comes out very rarely,

He grinned, then quickly stepped forward and gave Xiao Yan a bear hug, then patted him hard a few times, his voice also full of excitement and joy.

"Second brother, you want to beat me to death?" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, wiped away the mist from the corners of his eyes without leaving a trace, and joked.

"Not bad, Xiao Yanzi, your physical problem has really been solved?" Xiao Li smiled and let go of his hand, then patted Xiao Yan's shoulder hard and spoke with some surprise.

"En." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

"Oh no," Xiao Li slapped his head and seemed to remember something. He first sent away the big man who led the way, then grabbed Xiao Yan and walked quickly into the house.

"Come on, let's go in and see Big Brother first. You didn't see how he looked just now. He's even crazier than me."

Xiao Yan smiled and did not resist, allowing Xiao Li to do as he pleased.

Walking into the hall, Xiao Yan's gaze immediately turned to the young man sitting in the first seat. He was dressed in white and was smiling at Xiao Yan who came into the room. His eyes were bright and he looked calm and shrewd, and he seemed to be very shrewd.

"Xiao Yanzi, I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown quite a bit." The young man in white robe slowly stood up and said kindly to the boy who was almost as tall as him.

I vaguely remember that when I left home, Xiao Yan was still a little kid.

“Big Brother!” Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and responded with a smile: “Big Brother has become more and more mature over the years.”

"Haha, compared to us, it's still harder for you, Xiao Yanzi." Xiao Ding laughed, a little sad. He knew how depressing the environment Xiao Yan had experienced was. As if he remembered something, he said with a little joy: "When we first left home, your second brother was still complaining about why I didn't take you with me. But during the time we were training in the Jia Ma Empire, we almost died. If I let you stay with me, wouldn't it harm you?"

"Although I will be a little bit unhappy if I stay in the family, but with dad taking care of me, at least my life will be safe."

Xiao Li, who was standing by, scratched his hair involuntarily when he heard Xiao Ding talking about the past, and muttered, "Okay, okay, we finally meet, why are you still talking about these rubbish? It's unlucky."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Xiao Ding smiled and ended the topic, then changed the subject: "Boy, I heard from Dad that your health problem has been solved?"

Hearing this, before Xiao Yan could speak, Xiao Li smiled and said, "Of course, I patted Xiao Yanzi just now and found that this kid is quite strong."

"You're almost at the level of a high-star fighter, and not far from being a fighter master."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and did not explain. After all, the apparent strength he displayed was indeed as it was. His strength had improved so fast. Although there was no need to hide it from his two brothers, it would not be good if it fell into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives. It was better to just go with the flow.

"Haha, that's amazing. This cultivation speed is almost the same as your peak period when you were a child." Seeing Xiao Yan's agreement, Xiao Ding couldn't help but admire him.

"What a pity! If that hadn't happened, with Xiao Yanzi's talent, he might have already broken through to the Grand Fighter level. He would have been much stronger than the two of us anyway."

Chapter 84 Green Scales

Following Xiao Li's words, the whole room fell silent. Xiao Li knew he had said something wrong, so he quickly waved his hand, as if he had slapped himself.

"My goodness, don't think before you speak. Today is the day to welcome Xiao Yanzi. There's no need to talk about these unpleasant things."

"You two chat, I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to cook some dishes."

After saying that, Xiao Li slipped out of the room.

Looking at his second brother running away, Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Ding sat down, leaning back against the chair, looking at the wide-open door and Xiao Yan who was laughing, with a gentle smile on his face:

"That's how the second brother is. He always brings up the issue."

"No matter what happens in the future, Xiao Yanzi, remember that we are brothers. I gave up my family's arrangement and came to Shimo City to establish the Desert Iron Mercenary Group because I wanted to build a shelter for you in the future."

"Although judging from your current condition, it seems that you no longer need our protection."

Xiao Yan nodded, feeling moved in his heart.

That night, Xiao Yan, who usually never drank, made an exception and got drunk, drinking with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li until late at night.

Han Li ignored Xiao Yan and his brothers. While Xiao Yan was drunk, he quietly floated out, stood on the roof and raised his head.

There are no dark clouds today, and even in the night sky of the Douqi Continent, you can see twinkling stars and a bright full moon.

Reunion, family, kinship, hometown. A trace of vicissitudes and emotion emerged in Han Li's eyes.

Originally Han Li thought that after embarking on the path of cultivating immortals, he would no longer be troubled by these mundane things. However, when he fell into poverty and followed a little guy, constantly witnessing his growth process, he seemed to have changed a little.

Immortality is still Han Li's most important goal, but some things along the way should not be easily missed.

The next day, when Xiao Yan opened his eyes with a groggy head, he found that it was already daybreak. After rubbing his head which was a little dizzy due to the hangover, Xiao Yan slowly sat up, took out a pill from his ring, put it in his mouth, crossed his legs, and formed a practice mark with his hands.

Xiao Yan quickly entered a state of cultivation and controlled his Dou Qi to expel the remaining alcohol in his body. After a while, Xiao Yan flicked his fingers and a wisp of Dou Qi with a strong alcohol content was ejected and thrown to the back of the yard.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath, then gradually opened his eyes and returned to his previous calm. At this moment, Xiao Yan felt a figure approaching.

"Huh? Who is it?" He frowned imperceptibly and spoke directly before the other party knocked on the door.

With a creaking sound, the old door was pushed open, and a petite figure appeared at the door. She said timidly in a soft voice, "Master Xiao Yan, are you awake?"

The girl was not very old, two or three years younger than Xiao Yan. She was dressed in a light green and elegant outfit, looking a little immature. In her white little hands she was holding a basin filled with clean water.

The girl's delicate oval face showed a frightened expression, like a frightened little rabbit, which made people feel a little pity for her.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled faintly and nodded at her kindly.

It seemed that the other party was a maid who was arranged to serve him.

"I'll do it myself."

Xiao Yan got up and walked to the wooden frame. He took out a towel and started to wash himself. He asked casually, "What's your name?"

"Ah?" She was already a little restrained because her job was taken away by Xiao Yan. She became even more nervous after hearing this and even stuttered when she spoke.

"My name is Qinglin."

Xiao Yan nodded, wiped it, put the towel back, held the Black Flame Sword in his hand, and walked to the yard to complete his training.

"Xiao Yan, this girl is a little unusual."

Han Li's voice suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's ears, making him stunned.

"teacher?"

Lowering his voice, Xiao Yan asked with some doubt.
