6: At the peak of the Dou Huang realm, I will avenge my master!
Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan held fire starters and rummaged through the empty stone chamber, finding three locked stone boxes with the keys placed right beside them.
"Click!"
Xiao Yi Xian tried to open them; inside the first stone box was a colorful, ancient-looking scroll.
"Seven-Colored Poison Manual?"
Xiao Yi Xian stared at the small characters written on the side of the colorful scroll and exclaimed in surprise.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan leaned over with interest.
"A poison manual that records how to concoct poisons." Xiao Yi Xian smiled and put it away.
Xiao Yan, however, was greatly disappointed. As an Alchemist, he had no interest in a poison manual, and he would not waste his time concocting any poison pill.
Since the first stone box did not contain what he wanted, Xiao Yan quickly set his sights on the second stone box.
"Profound Rank High-level Flight Dou Technique: Eagle Wings!"
Xiao Yan's gaze rested on the small characters on the side of the scroll, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.
"It's actually the rarest type of Flight Dou Technique!"
One had to know that on the Fighting Qi Continent, only a Dou King expert could manifest Dou Qi wings and soar through the sky.
Yet, a Flight Dou Technique could break this shackle; even if you were not a Dou King expert, you could still fly.
This was why Xiao Yan had such an expression upon seeing the Flight Dou Technique; Flight Dou Techniques were truly too rare, nearly lost to history.
To be able to see one in this tomb today was truly rare.
After putting the Flight Dou Technique into his storage ring, both of their gazes fell upon the third stone box.
They wanted to see what kind of treasure was hidden inside this third stone box.
However, before Xiao Yan could open the box, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.
"Our location has been exposed!" Xiao Yan's expression shifted slightly.
"What?" Xiao Yi Xian was equally shocked. "Besides us, it is impossible for a third person to know about this place!"
Soon, dozens of figures surrounded the cave.
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian, the person in the lead let out a strange, cackling laugh. "Xiao Yi Xian, oh Xiao Yi Xian, as they say, the devil is one foot tall, but the Dao is ten feet tall. Thanks for scouting the path for me; I will graciously accept these gifts. Hehehe..."
"Mu Li, you followed us?" Xiao Yi Xian said angrily.
"Correct!" Mu Li grinned shamelessly.
"Hand over the treasures, and I can let you die quickly!"
"It looks like there is going to be a tough fight." Xiao Yan's expression was solemn. Since the Flight Dou Technique had fallen into his hands, there was absolutely no way he would hand it over.
"Mu Li, aren't you afraid of retaliation from all the mercenary groups in Qingshan Town by doing this?" Xiao Yi Xian was still unwilling to give up.
She also could not hand over the Seven-Colored Poison Manual.
"My father is Mu She; who would dare to retaliate, and who could even retaliate!"
"As for you, Xiao Yi Xian, messing around with another man behind my back, are you worthy of the sincerity I have shown you?" Mu Li's gaze fell on Xiao Yi Xian, carrying a hint of aggression.
Xiao Yi Xian felt goosebumps all over her body.
It was not hard to imagine what kind of treatment she would receive once she fell into Mu Li's hands.
"Take the man out and chop him into pieces to feed the dogs; keep the woman!" Mu Li had no patience left to waste on them and immediately gave the order.
The dozen or so mercenaries were all elites of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and their strength was quite advanced at the Dou Practitioner level. Under their siege, Xiao Yan retreated step by step, forced to back away. During this time, Xiao Yi Xian was unfortunately captured.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was nearly desperate. Under the encirclement, his available space was being compressed step by step.
Especially now, being blocked near the stone coffin, he was in a dilemma.
"Hehehe, Xiao Yi Xian, didn't you like messing around with men? Today, I will let you see how the man you messed around with is chopped into meat paste by me, blade by blade, and then fed to the dogs!"
Mu Li took out a machete and slashed fiercely toward the direction Xiao Yan was in.
"Say goodbye to this world!"
Xiao Yan subconsciously turned his head and dodged this fierce strike.
But soon he regretted it.
"Click!"
The machete struck the tombstone with almost no resistance, slicing it in two with a single blow.
Xiao Yi Xian gasped in shock.
Xiao Yan watched this scene, his mouth slightly agape.
This tombstone had just been built, and now it had been sliced in two. If the owner found out, would they not be skinned alive?
"You dodged one strike, I do not believe you can dodge a second!" Mu Li's expression turned ruthless, preparing to strike again.
Xiao Yan had no ability to resist at this moment; it was the perfect time to finish him off!
However, just as his machete was about to fall.
An angry voice suddenly struck.
"Who dares to disturb my Master's eternal rest?"
Inside the side hall, a young figure suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying aura instantly swept over.
The first to bear the brunt was Mu Li. Under this pressure, he felt difficulty breathing, as if his throat were being strangled.
Xiao Yan looked toward that side hall, his gaze filled with a hint of terror. Clearly, they had not entered earlier and had no idea that there was someone inside.
If they had known, they would never have stayed long, let alone looted all the burial treasures.
"Master, how is this person's strength so strong? I cannot even resist the pressure!"
"Ridiculous, a Peak Dou Huang cultivation; how could a mere Dou Practitioner like you resist it?" Yao Lao's voice carried a hint of heaviness.
"Peak Dou Huang cultivation?" Xiao Yan's head buzzed.
Clearly, the owner's strength far exceeded his expectations.
"Master, if a fight breaks out, what are our chances of winning?" Xiao Yan grew increasingly anxious.
"I fear less than thirty percent!" Yao Lao's words made Xiao Yan go completely quiet.
"However, you do not need to worry; perhaps we can try to negotiate first..."
A Peak Dou Huang expert—although letting him possess his body would allow him to barely contend with the expert, offending a Peak Dou Huang expert was clearly not a wise move.
Yao Lao was already prepared to take control of the body at any moment.
"Who are you?" Mu Li's expression changed drastically, no longer having his previous arrogant appearance.
Even if he was dull, he knew he had provoked an extremely terrifying expert.
"Daring to destroy my Master's tombstone, you truly have guts!" Jiang Luo looked at the tombstone that had been split in two, his expression instantly turning gloomy.
He had only been Cultivating for a day, yet when he woke up, not only had his home been robbed, but they had not even spared his Master's tombstone.
This was simply going too far!
"I did not!" Feeling the newcomer's anger, Mu Li was terrified; there was no way he would admit it at this time!
"A mere Dou Practitioner, yet you dare to quibble before this Emperor? Die!" Jiang Luo's expression was indifferent as he raised his hand to crush down, just like crushing an insignificant ant.
Mu Li's face was filled with terror. In a desperate situation, he could only fight to the death!
"Kill! Everyone attack, otherwise none of us will make it out!"
"Trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, overestimating your capabilities!"
Jiang Luo's face remained unchanged, his fingers exerting a slight force. The pressure from his Peak Dou Huang cultivation made Mu Li and the others feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Under this pressure, they felt as small as ants, as lowly as blades of grass!
