Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"It's okay, you'll stay by my side."

As he spoke, he slowly turned his head to look at Xiao Yang.

"As for you..."

"hehe!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang shook his head.

He had his hands behind his back and didn't say a word the whole time.

He was mainly secretly putting on the Nine Flame Gauntlets.

At the same time, he was also waiting for the effects of Little Fairy Doctor's medicine to take hold.

Just then, Muli and the other dozen or so mercenaries suddenly felt a little sleepy.

He immediately realized something was wrong.

"You poisoned it?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor smiled disdainfully.

"If it weren't for the fact that the poison was dispersed to poison you all at the same time, you would have fallen asleep long ago."

Muli was furious.

"Kill this pretty boy!"

"As for Little Fairy Doctor, arrest her!"

The other mercenaries immediately prepared to step forward.

Just then, Xiao Yang, who was prepared, swallowed a pill of Earth Armor he had obtained earlier.

A layer of earth-yellow armor instantly enveloped him.

"Battle Aura Armor!"

"You're a Grand Dou Master?"

"how is this possible?"

When Mu Li and the others saw the armor on Xiao Yang's body, they thought it was the Dou Qi armor of a Great Dou Master.

They suddenly panicked.

You must understand, they are merely fighters.

Even the leader of their Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu Li's father, was only a two-star Dou Shi.

Xiao Yang did not answer them, but instead charged directly at Mu Li.

All that could be seen was the flames already entangling his fist.

He also secretly set a mission in his mind.

[Mission: Use the Nine Flame Fist to kill Mu Li and the other mercenaries. Reward: Nine Flame Fist Proficiency +2, one Grade 4 Cold Spirit Pill]

Muli was terrified and ran backward in a panic.

However, he was already poisoned, so how could he possibly outrun Xiao Yang?

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yang punched Mu Li in the back.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

With one punch, Mu Li's spine was broken instantly.

"what!"

Muli immediately let out a miserable howl.

However, the next moment, the flames of the Nine Flames Fist exploded within Mu Li's body.

"boom!"

A large hole appeared in Muli's torso; he was completely dead.

"Oh no! The young commander was instantly killed by that guy with a single punch!"

"We must avenge our young commander!"

One of the mercenaries, seeing Xiao Yang kill Mu Li with a single punch, had a flash of inspiration and shouted to the others.

Upon hearing this, the mercenaries who had been focused solely on escaping instinctively glanced behind them.

They immediately saw that Muli had a huge, empty hole in his body.

His body was still covered in burn marks.

They were immediately even more terrified.

The mercenary who had been shouting that he wanted to avenge the young commander had now run to the front.

Others might have originally considered joining forces to deal with Xiao Yang.

But upon seeing the mercenary's location, he immediately cursed inwardly.

They wanted the others to delay Xiao Yang's time!

As the saying goes, when you encounter a bear, it's okay to run slowly.

As long as you run faster than the last person, that's fine.

The mercenary who was originally in the middle has now moved to the very front.

Seeing this, the remaining mercenaries also prepared to flee.

However, they soon realized something was wrong.

They are so tired that they are about to fall asleep on the spot.

You know, they're on the run right now!

They suddenly remembered that Xiao Yang had mentioned earlier that they were poisoned!

The effects of Little Fairy Doctor's poison are now gradually taking hold.

Although the powder was spread over a large area, each mercenary inhaled only a small amount.

However, that powder was originally meant to make a fighter instantly unconscious.

Even though so many people are absorbing it, they still feel drowsy.

However, Xiao Yang didn't care about any of that. He caught up with the mercenaries behind him and punched them one by one!

The mercenaries behind him didn't have the same poor mental fortitude as Muli.

Seeing that Xiao Yang was catching up, he stopped running away and instead wanted to see if he could bite off a piece of his flesh before he died.

However, they soon lost hope.

Their attacks landed on the layer of earthen armor covering Xiao Yang's body, and could not cause him any harm at all.

These mercenaries are only four- or five-star warriors.

The strongest among them, Mu Li, had only just broken through to the sixth-star Dou Zhe level.

Facing opponents of this strength, Xiao Yang might not even need to use any fighting techniques; he could defeat them simply by relying on his physical abilities.

Now that he uses the Nine Flame Fist, even a Battle Master standing in front of him would be injured.

Soon, Xiao Yang killed these mercenaries one by one.

A system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Mission: Kill Mu Li and other mercenaries using the Nine Flame Fist. Reward: Nine Flame Fist Proficiency +2, one Grade 4 Cold Spirit Pill. Completed. Claim reward?]

Looking at the mercenary corpses scattered on the ground, Xiao Yang cursed inwardly for the waste.

He had underestimated his own strength.

He didn't even need to kill these mercenaries.

As long as the flames from the Nine Flames Fist hit them from a distance, although they won't be able to unleash their full power, they can still kill these mercenaries.

It was really a waste for him to take one Tu Jia Dan.

It should be noted that a third-tier Earth Armor Pill can withstand the attacks of a Grand Dou Master.

"Ugh--"

After sighing, Xiao Yang began to pack up his spoils.

These mercenaries didn't carry much; they only had some cheap healing medicine, a small amount of gold coins, and a few weapons.

Muli had a few more gold coins than anyone else.

Looking at these spoils of war, Xiao Yang couldn't help but curl his lip.

What happened to the promise of wealth and power for murderers and arsonists?

"Are you OK?"

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor also ran over, looking at Xiao Yang with some nervousness.

"It's alright, these ugly and deformed things can't hurt me."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yang carefully for a while before letting out a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect my assistant to be bribed by Mu Li."

"I've dragged you into this mess."

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's face was full of apology.

Xiao Yang patted her hair and said with a smile.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to acquire so many treasures."

"Besides, weren't we unharmed?"
