Chapter 46: The Battle
**Chapter
Yao's face turned ashen as he looked at Xiao Yu, unable to utter a word. The overwhelming strength of a Seven-Star Dou Master left him feeling hopeless, and he soon lost consciousness.
Ignoring Yao's fate, Xiao Yu turned to Xiao Yixian and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Yixian nodded, "Alright!"
As they were about to leave with San Shou, a burst of laughter came from the main entrance, "Leaving? Have you consulted with me, Mu She?"
Xiao Yu looked up to see a burly middle-aged man leading a group of mercenaries into Wan Yao Zhai. Xiao Yixian was slightly startled and glanced at Xiao Yu, who shook his head slightly, "No need to worry. Since they've come to us, it saves me the trouble of finding them."
Mu She, now entering with a sinister grin, confronted Xiao Yu. "Why make such a fuss, Captain Mu?" Xiao Yu asked calmly.
Mu She's eyes turned cold as he asked, "Is it true that the second captain of our Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Gan Mu, was killed by you?"
Xiao Yu pretended to think, then replied with a feigned realization, "Oh, you mean that thin man? He was just a lecher, so I cleared him out for you!"
Mu She's expression darkened at Xiao Yu's words. "Cleared him out? My Wolf Head Mercenary Group lost ten men because of you. This debt must be repaid with your life!"
Hearing Mu She's threat, Xiao Yu responded with a faint smile and took a step forward, "I heard that your Wolf Head Mercenary Group has a third captain named He Meng?"
Mu She's eyes twitched as a sense of foreboding washed over him. Xiao Yu continued, "Unfortunately for him, he crossed paths with me. So I helped you out. No need to thank me!"
Mu She's rage was palpable. With a cold glare, he pointed at Xiao Yu and ordered, "Kill him! Avenge the second and third captains!"
At Mu She's command, the surrounding mercenaries drew their weapons and shouted angrily, "Avenge! Avenge!" They surged toward Xiao Yu with fierce intent.
Xiao Yu turned to Xiao Zi and instructed, "Protect them!" He then drew Mo Lin and charged into the crowd.
Xiao Zi's eyes flashed with a purple glow, and she spewed out purple flames, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
Xiao Yu's hand emitted a ghostly aura, and a heavy sense of death surrounded his fingers as he used the Wind Demon Nine Fingers.
A whistling sound cut through the air as a small blood hole appeared in the forehead of a charging mercenary, his eyes losing their color as he fell lifelessly.
The mercenaries behind him hesitated momentarily, but Mu She barked, "What are you afraid of? With so many of you, how can you not handle him?"
Encouraged by Mu She's words, the mercenaries tightened their grips on their weapons and continued their assault on Xiao Yu.
A dangerous smile curved on Xiao Yu's lips. Since they sought death, he saw no need to hold back. He had warned them, and if they didn't listen, they would pay with their lives!
Boom!
The aura of a Seven-Star Dou Master erupted violently, causing the mercenaries to gasp for breath. Xiao Yu didn't give them any time to react. He stamped his foot heavily on the ground, leaving a half-inch deep footprint.
Xiao Yu's figure vanished from his original spot, and Mo Lin, glowing with a cold light, moved relentlessly with a deathly aura. Under the enhancement of Moonstep, Xiao Yu swiftly decapitated twenty mercenaries with a single stroke.
Emerging from the crowd, Xiao Yu stood before Mu She, his presence suffused with the stench of blood and the pressure of a Seven-Star Dou Master, causing Mu She's legs to weaken.
The continuous thudding sounds of heavy bodies hitting the ground pounded in Mu She's heart. Seeing the fallen mercenaries behind him, his mind went blank with rage and he hoarsely declared, "You killed my son! No matter what, even if it costs me my life, I won't let you get away!"
Mu She's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he grasped a steel spear from the ground. His gaze was menacing as he watched the calm, smiling Xiao Yu. The intense Dou Qi within him surged, forming a thin layer of Dou Qi armor around his body.
The frenzied operation of Dou Qi gave Mu She a false sense of security, gradually erasing his fear. He shouted, "Swift Wind Stab!"
With a forceful stomp, Mu She's spear shot toward Xiao Yu's neck like a white streak. The spear tip was enveloped by a faint green wind, distorting the air as it passed.
Even Xiao Yixian, confident in Xiao Yu's abilities, couldn't help but exclaim, "Be careful!"
Mu She's initial attack was a powerful skill, even though he was only a Two-Star Dou Master. His skill was of the Profound Level, making it quite formidable.
However, Xiao Yu wasn't worried. He gave Xiao Yixian a reassuring look and casually thrust his sword toward Mu She. The seemingly harmless attack increased Mu She's sense of danger.
The sword's tip and spear's tip clashed in mid-air!
Clang!
A piercing clang echoed as a powerful shockwave erupted between them. Xiao Yixian felt immense pressure from the clash. Fortunately, Xiao Zi shielded her from most of the wind, but she still sensed the vast gap between a Dou Master and a Dou Fighter.
Mu She felt the overwhelming force through his spear, causing his arms to go numb. Suddenly, a faint crackling sound startled him as he saw cracks forming along his steel spear.
Boom!
The spear shattered into fragments under the pressure of the clash.
However, Mu She quickly reacted, lightly stepping on the ground and executing "Phoenix Step!" His figure vanished from Xiao Yu's sight.
Originally a Wind Elemental user, Mu She combined his skills with a Profound Level movement technique, making it challenging for Xiao Yu to track him. Xiao Yu sighed softly, "Why compete with me in speed?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xiao Yu's body was enveloped in a faint red Dou Qi, which was then replaced by a light blue Dou Qi, covering his entire body. "Moonstep!"
Xiao Yu's figure, now a blur, disappeared from view, his speed so immense that he was nearly impossible to catch.
Mu She, witnessing the sudden shift from fire to wind Dou Qi, stared in disbelief, his mind racing, "What kind of monster is this?"
