Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 24 Six-Star Warrior Hermon

In the early morning forest, sunlight filters through the dense foliage, casting patches of golden light on the ground.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, making a soft whisper, as if in your ear.

The morning dew makes the air fresh and moist, and the fragrance of grass and flowers blend together to create a pleasant aroma.

The entire forest appeared vibrant and full of new hope and energy under the morning sun.

But none of this was aesthetically pleasing to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Even after a night had passed, the terrifying explosion still seemed vivid in my mind.

Upon arriving at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp, Xiao Yan jumped down from the tree trunk and strode over.

"No, you just went like that?" Yao Lao asked in surprise, noticing Xiao Yan's actions.

Xiao Yan drew the Xuan Heavy Ruler from his back: "Although the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp is also in the woods, it's too far away. Unless I sprout wings, it will be difficult to approach silently. This time, it's a battle of raw strength!"

Hard power? I don't believe you for a second! The old doctor stopped talking.

Seeing Xiao Yan appear openly outside the camp, alone, the mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group gasped in shock, silently gripping their weapons.

"It's that boy in black!"

"The boy in black robes has appeared!"

"Third Commander, that black-robed youth has appeared! Avenge our brothers!"

Despite their loud slogans, and the fact that this mercenary squad outnumbered Xiao Yan's by more than ten times, not a single person dared to make the first move.

They dared not get too close, fearing they might be hit by some unknown explosive and die without knowing why.

Xiao Yan didn't care about any of that. He stomped his foot on the ground and shot towards the smallest group of mercenaries like a cannonball.

The mercenary was tall and imposing, with muscles as hard as rock. He never expected that someone as strong as him would be the first one to be attacked.

Just as he was stunned and had no time to react, a huge, black ruler struck him heavily on the head with a whooshing sound.

With a muffled thud, his head exploded instantly, a jet of blood spurting out. The scalding blood jolted the mercenaries awake; fear was useless, only battle could save them.

"Low-level Yellow Rank Combat Skill, Whirlwind Blade!"

A mercenary standing beside the burly man, his broadsword glowing with blue battle aura, slashed fiercely at Xiao Yan.

The broadsword slashed out, creating a gust of wind that whipped up the sand and stones on the ground, forming a semi-circular arc.

Regaining his fighting spirit, the middle-aged mercenary unleashed the strongest fighting technique he had ever mastered.

Xuan Zhongchi turned around, and Xiao Yan instantly met the fierce attack with the purest force of splitting a mountain.

The ruler and the knife clashed, instantly producing a crisp metallic sound.

The mercenary's expression changed drastically. He felt an incredibly powerful force travel along the blade to his hand, and with a bang, his tiger's mouth exploded.

At the same time, the mercenary's broadsword snapped cleanly with a crack, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.

The Xuanzhong Ruler continued its downward strike with undiminished speed, slamming heavily onto the mercenary's shoulder.

The terrifying force completely penetrated the mercenary's body. The moment the mercenary's shoulder bones shattered, his internal organs were also shaken and bled.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and another mercenary collapsed.

This small group of people was reduced to just one mercenary. Looking at the massive black ruler that could even cleave a broadsword in two, he felt a sense of dread, knowing that this was no ordinary weapon!

"Want it? Here you go!" Xiao Yan smiled calmly, held the Xuan Heavy Ruler in front of him, and gave it to the mercenary for free.

The mercenary was already stunned by Xiao Yan's presence, and when he saw the treasure delivered to his door, he subconsciously reached out to take it.

However, the moment the Xuanzhong Ruler was in his hand, he immediately felt the terrifying weight of the weapon, and his body fell to the ground.

"Eight Extremes Collapse!" Without the weight of the Xuan Heavy Ruler, Xiao Yan suddenly felt as light as a swallow and his speed increased even more. In an instant, he transformed into a phantom and appeared behind the mercenary, striking him heavily in the back with his elbow.

Even without any hidden force, Xiao Yan's full-force attack would still be fatal to a mercenary who was completely unprepared.

All of this may seem complicated, but it all happens in the blink of an eye.

The remaining mercenaries, watching Xiao Yan kill their three brothers in a breath or two, broke out in a cold sweat: Is he even human?!

At this moment, Hermon slowly walked out of the central tent, standing proudly with an imposing aura, exuding arrogance.

"A six-star Dou Zhe?!" Xiao Yan's dark pupils suddenly contracted. When he saw him yesterday, he was only a five-star.

At this moment, Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's heart: "Only when a person is on the verge of life and death can their full potential be unleashed, like a sword that has been honed, which makes it even sharper. This is why I only make my move at the last moment."

"If that guy hadn't used two mercenaries as human shields yesterday, and if he hadn't been using rock-attribute battle aura, he would have been blown to bits or crippled. After surviving a near-death experience, it seems his potential has been unleashed."

A mercenary, trembling, said, "Third Commander, let's retreat! This boy is inhuman! He killed three of our brothers in the blink of an eye! Three brothers!"

"Retreat? They've already come to our doorstep, and you're retreating!" Hermon frowned, his anger rising, and with a hand as large as a fan, he slapped the mercenary hard across the face.

With a crisp snap, three of the mercenary's teeth were knocked out, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"If he dares to say he's retreating again, I'll kill him first, even before that kid lifts a finger!" Hermon snorted coldly, his icy eyes sweeping over the mercenaries who were showing signs of backing down.

Under Hermon's gaze, the mercenaries seemed to have found their leader and became eager to fight again.

Looking at the mercenaries who seemed like two completely different groups, Xiao Yan thought to himself: Six-star Dou Zhe plus a bunch of Dou Zhe mercenaries, this is going to be difficult.

Taking in the mercenaries' renewed fighting spirit, Hermon looked intently at Xiao Yan:

"Kid, you do have some skills, but the stronger you are, the more precious the treasure you've obtained! Let me tell you, I've already broken through to become a six-star Dou Zhe, and with these mercenary brothers, we can wear you down!"

The Third Regiment Leader has actually broken through to become a Six-Star Dou Zhe!

The mercenaries were all invigorated upon hearing the news.

Based on the Third Regiment Leader's cultivation speed, it should have taken him about a year to break through. Now that his strength has greatly increased, with the powerful defense of his rock-attribute battle aura, he can definitely lead them to easily kill the black-robed youth in front of them!

Xuan-level cultivation techniques and combat skills!

For a moment, Xiao Yan was no longer so scary in their eyes, but rather as tempting as a glittering mountain of gold.

Hermon chuckled inwardly; he wasn't revealing his strength to intimidate anyone.

Xiao Yan chuckled as he slammed the Xuan Heavy Ruler into the ground, "You do have a lot of people, but..."

With that, Xiao Yan took out two crimson stone spheres from his robes: "Die! Flame Bullets!"
