Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

After a short while, Liu Xi, who had seemingly lost all life, subtly twitched his hand. A moment later, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and the ashen complexion on his face faded considerably.

"Hiss..." Looking at the bloody hole in his chest, Liu Xi gasped, his eyes filled with resentment: "Damn woman, if I hadn't stolen a 'Turtle Breathing Pill' from my teacher when I came out, I would have really been done for today."

"Heh, do you think you can leave here alive? You dare to flirt with my people."

The sudden sound made Liu Xi's body stiffen abruptly, his face changed drastically, and he turned his head with difficulty to look at the figure above him, whose entire body was shrouded in a black robe, as it slowly descended in front of him.

Beneath the black robe, Xiao Yao stretched out a pair of youthful, fair arms, in which an invisible flame was actively dancing.

Staring at the strange, invisible flame, Liu Xi's pupils contracted, his hands went weak, and his entire body collapsed to the ground, a trembling voice escaping his lips: "Strange...strange fire? This flame is actually a strange fire! Who exactly are you?"

"Isn't it better to be alive? Why did you have to provoke me? Did you really think I wouldn't dare kill you back then?"

With a gentle wave of his hand, Xiao Yao unleashed invisible flames that instantly enveloped Liu Xi.

All that could be heard was Liu Xi's terrified cry: "It's you..." Before she could finish speaking, she was burned to ashes by invisible flames.

Xiao Yao coldly glanced at the pile of ashes on the ground, waved his hand, and a stream of air swept the ashes away. Then he slowly approached the window, lightly leaped, and soared into the air, landing gracefully on a rooftop.

"Who exactly are you?"

Just then, a light and melodious voice rang out in the darkness.

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at a girl in a golden robe on the edge of a pavilion not far away, casually swinging her round, snow-white legs.

The young girl's eyes, brimming with a faint golden glow, lazily gazed at the black-robed figure hovering above the rooftop. Her slender fingers brushed a strand of hair ruffled by the night breeze across her forehead, her movements elegant and composed. She slightly raised her refined chin, a half-smile playing on her lips, and once again uttered a soft, melodious voice: "Who exactly are you? What brings you to the Jialie family?"

Xiao Yao turned around and looked at Xun'er, who exuded domineering aura, shrugged, and chuckled softly, "Little girl, I haven't seen you so assertive in all these years. I suppose you'll be able to protect yourself even when your brother Xiao Yao isn't by your side."

After speaking, he lifted the cloak covering his head, slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing a delicate face, and his dark eyes gazed tenderly at Xun'er in front of him.

"Xiao...Brother Xiao Yao?"

Xun'er was stunned when she saw the black-robed man in front of her take off his mask, revealing a familiar and handsome face. After regaining her senses, she swung her snow-white legs and let out a gasp.

Xiao Yao came to her and looked at Xun'er, who was wearing a golden dress, with a faint smile on his face.

He reached out and gently pinched Xun'er's smooth little face, whispering, "You silly girl, what happened here? What if you get into danger?"

Feeling the warmth from Xiao Yao's palm, Xun'er looked at the care and tenderness in his eyes, smiled sweetly at Xiao Yao, her eyes curving into crescent moons, and said in a light and melodious voice, "Brother Xiao Yao, aren't you the same?"

"Wait a minute, your brother Xiao Yao has something to do. Xun'er, would you... like to come with me?"

"Great! It's rare for Brother Xiao Yao to take Xun'er along." She blinked her long eyelashes at Xiao Yao, looking playful and adorable.

Xiao Yao reached out and pulled Xun'er up, looking at her standing gracefully in front of him.

Xiao Yao handed his black cloak to Xun'er, and seeing Xun'er's puzzled look, he explained softly, "Xun'er, put this on. I don't want anyone to discover your identity."

Upon hearing this, Xun'er gently took the cloak and draped it over her shoulders, concealing her graceful figure that was beginning to show signs of maturity.

Xiao Yao carefully examined Xun'er, who was dressed in a black robe and appeared slightly plump, and teased her softly, "Xun'er, you've gotten fat. You've become a little chubby."

"Hmph, you're the fat one. Shouldn't you be getting down to business?" Xun'er said, hands on her hips, looking at Xiao Yao with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yao put on the disguise mask, instantly transforming into a different, handsome man. Looking at Xun'er in front of him, he opened his arms and said with a smile, "Xun'er, come here."

When Xun'er saw Xiao Yao's behavior, her cheeks instantly flushed, her ear tips turned slightly red, and she shyly rushed towards Xiao Yao.

Immediately, a soft, delicate body crashed into Xiao Yao's arms.

As Xun'er's arms wrapped tightly around Xiao Yao's neck, Xiao Yao inhaled her delicate fragrance and looked at the charming Xun'er before him. Suppressing the flutter in his heart, he whispered, "Xun'er, haven't you always wanted to know my strength? Today you'll find out just how powerful your brother Xiao Yao has become."

Xiao Yao stretched out his left arm and tightly embraced her soft waist. His body trembled slightly, and a pair of black battle wings condensed from his fighting spirit on his back.

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yao's black wings, where occasionally the phantom of a Kunpeng would appear, flashing by.

Upon seeing this, Xun'er exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Xiao Yao, could the Battle Wings you've conjured be a rare flying battle technique? Looking at the terrifying figure of an unknown magical beast on it, it must be very precious."

Xiao Yao smiled but didn't answer Xun'er's question. Instead, he circulated his Dou Qi, and with a slight flap of his Dou Wings, the two instantly appeared in the air. Looking down at the area where the Jialie tribe lived, a cold laugh escaped Xiao Yao's lips: "Too bad. Who told them to offend my woman? They're destined not to live past tonight!"

Listening to Xiao Yao's domineering declaration, Xun'er quietly nestled in his arms, feeling the vigorous heartbeat within him, which immediately made her feel at ease.

With a gentle wave of his right hand, Xiao Yao summoned a Dou Zong puppet beside him and commanded it, "Seal off this space and don't let anyone inside escape."

Upon hearing this, the puppet made a "crack" sound, as if its bones were being reassembled. Then, its eyes flashed with light, and it slowly flew into the air with its palms facing upwards. Instantly, the surrounding space froze, trapping the entire Jialie family in this space.

Xun'er watched this scene with a face full of shock, nestled tightly in Xiao Yao's arms, and murmured, "Brother Xiao Yao, this is the true strength you possess..."
