Upon hearing the words he uttered, a dangerous glint flashed across the two women's dazzling eyes.
He Meng instinctively shivered, folding his arms and muttering unknowingly, "Why did the temperature suddenly drop so much..."
But even the cold couldn't deter him from trying to flirt with beauties.
"Brat, I am indeed He Meng, the third leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company. Quick, kneel and surrender!"
Li Xiao shrugged. He was familiar with the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, a mercenary group specializing in hunting magical beasts. Their leader was a two-star Dou Master, a formidable presence in the small border town of Wu Tan City.
"Pavilion Master?" Bing Shuang asked coldly, "Shall we kill him?"
"Take him outside and kill him. This is a sacred place. It must not be sullied by such filth."
Li Xiao sipped his tea, his voice indifferent, not even bothering to look up. These ants didn't deserve to die here.
Bing Shuang nodded and stepped forward lightly. He Meng, thinking she was coming to embrace him, grinned widely and opened his arms, his face full of lecherous anticipation.
"Beauty, come over here. Big brother will take care of you, hehe."
Bing Shuang sneered inwardly at the disgusting scum.
As He Meng fantasized about the night ahead, a dense wave of energy suddenly surged towards him. The ground began to freeze visibly, and the biting cold made the mercenaries' faces contort in discomfort.
The icy blue Dou Qi was terrifyingly powerful. He Meng, an eight-star Dou Zhe, swallowed nervously, realizing this beauty intended to kill him.
"Beauty, if you are merciless, don't blame me for being ruthless. Once I capture you, I'll train you well and make you my plaything!"
He Meng snarled, ordering his men to attack, promising a hefty reward for anyone who could catch the beauty.
Bing Shuang disdainfully extended her delicate finger. "You barbaric man of this desolate border is really impudent."
With a slight motion of her finger, the surging Dou Qi crashed into the charging mercenaries like a truck.
One by one, they were encased in ice, transformed into statues. If not for the Pavilion Master's orders, they would have been reduced to mere pieces.
He Meng's face twitched with anger. "You dare kill my men!"
"Don't worry. You'll join them soon enough."
Before He Meng could react, Bing Shuang vanished from the pavilion and reappeared behind him.
Pain engulfed He Meng as his bones shattered with an ear-piercing sound. His pupils dilated, his body convulsing as blood poured from his orifices.
"Dou... Dou King... You're a Dou King!"
He Meng, the small fry he was, only had limited knowledge of the world, so it was natural for him to misjudge Bing Shuang's realm.
As someone who lived in place as backward as Wu Tan city, meeting a Dou Spirit fighter could already be regarded as lifetime event, let alone a Dou Venerable like Bing Shuang.
For him, even a Dou King was something out of reach.
"Get out."
Not even bothering to correct his mistake, as she considered it a waste of breath, she spread his Dou Qi, and a breath of cold air hurled toward He Meng.
He Meng couldn't resist; he was flung into the air, along with his men. They flew until they hit the ground far away, shattering upon impact, leaving them without intact corpses.
Bing Shuang returned to the Pavilion Master and bowed slightly.
Li Xiao smiled faintly. The power of a Dou Venerable was indeed formidable. With just a breath, Bing Shuang had sent He Meng flying hundreds of miles away. Truly terrifying.
No wonder Dou Venerable experts are revered and able to make a name for themselves in Central Plains.
Considering the current situation, Li Xiao could only make waves within the Jia Ma Empire. If he went to Central Plains now, he wouldn't even know how he died.
For now, he needed to auction more treasures to unlock the godly gift pack, which was sure to contain incredibly exciting items.
Li Xiao had started to yearn for becoming an expert above Dou Venerable. At first, Dou Emperor seemed invincible, but he gradually realized that Dou Emperor experts were insignificant before Dou Ancestor, unable to last even three moves.
"Pavilion Master, you seem troubled. Why do you look so down?" Linglong asked gently, pouring him a cup of hot tea.
"In the next auction, the experts of the Jia Ma Empire will surely compete with all their might, but it's not enough. What we need the most right now is money. If only we could involve more forces."
Upon hearing this, the two women exchanged glances, seemingly understanding the Pavilion Master's thoughts. Apart from Central Plains, they could send invitations everywhere.
It was said that there were quite a few Dou Emperor and Dou Ancestor experts in the Black-Corner Region. Why not extend their reach there?
However, without the Pavilion Master's orders, they dared not act on their own and could only wait for his directive.
At that moment, the sound of an eagle soaring echoed through the sky. A blue eagle circled above the valley, seemingly attracted by the beautiful scenery around Heaven Ascending Pavilion.
Hearing the commotion, Li Xiao looked up and immediately noticed the woman riding the blue eagle.
The woman was wearing a pale white dress. She was not extremely beautiful but could be called an uncommon beauty. Her lightly smiling face emitted a fresh aura that was unique and greatly increased her charm.
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured to himself. "Could it be her?"
"This is the airspace of Heaven Ascending Pavilion. Leave immediately," Niu Meng said, his legs tensing as his Dou Qi wings spread out, and he flew up to the blue eagle.
When she noticed the pair of wings on his back, the woman on the eagle quickly saluted in respect. "Junior greets the senior."
They were Dou Qi wings!
He must be at least a Dou King!
Niu Meng was about to drive her away when he heard the Pavilion Master's voice in his ear. He hesitated, lowering his raised hand.
"My master invites you in."
The Little Fairy Doctor blinked her doe eyes, but before she could refuse, an invisible force gently pulled her down to the ground.
She was greeted by the sight of four hard-working magical beasts, with the Amethyst Winged Lion King leading them. The sight of the Lion King, a renowned rank six magical beast, working the fields left her speechless.
So unbelievable!
Shifting her gaze, the Little Fairy Doctor noticed the two women and one man in the bamboo pavilion.
The women were stunning and graceful, like celestial maidens.
The man, however, was a man like never seen before. Li Xiao's appearance was enough to overshadow any man, especially with his captivating eyes that could make any young girl swoon.
Niu Meng grabbed the Little Doctor Fairy by her collar and swiftly brought her before the Pavilion Master. "This is our Pavilion Master. Pay your respects."
The Little Doctor Fairy dared not be arrogant. She quickly knelt, "Junior Little Fairy Doctor greets the Pavilion Master. I apologize for any offense just now. Please forgive me."
Li Xiao sized her up with his gaze, musing in his heart.
So, it's true.
She's indeed the Little Fairy Doctor, the owner of Woeful Poison Body!
