Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Instant Kill

    ?

    ''Never mind, let''s wait a bit longer. Hai Bodong has been waiting this long anyway, a little more time won''t hurt.'' After careful consideration, Xiao Yan decided to put the old fox Hai Bodong aside for now and not break his seal yet, letting him feel empty, lonely, and cold for a while longer.

    Far away in Desert City, Hai Bodong suddenly sneezed.

    Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward the northwest, where Rock Desert City was located.

    ''I''ve been out for almost half a month now. It''s time to head back.''

    He set his direction and flew toward Rock Desert City using his Eagle Wings. For Xiao Yan now, having Qing Lin use her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to control the Seven- Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was the top priority.

    After the Flame Mantra evolved to a Di Class Qi Method, his speed with the Eagle Wings was almost comparable to a Dou King, since most Dou Kings didn''t have Di Class Qi Methods.

    If he added the burst power of three kinds of Heavenly Flames and the support of his 5th-tier alchemist''s Spiritual Strength, his flying speed could even rival a Dou Emperor!

    But even with his flying ability, it still took him a full day of intermittent travel to return to Rock Desert City.

    The outline of a city that was several sizes smaller than Desert City finally appeared on the horizon.

    His fiery wings sliced through the dark sky like a meteor as he flew directly into Rock Desert City.

    ''Huh? How come the flag is gone?'' Xiao Yan''s eyes narrowed as he noticed from a distance that the flag of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company that used to hang high above the tallest building was now missing.

    A sudden sense of foreboding struck him. His Dou Qi circulated rapidly, and with a thunderous sound, he shattered the ground with a single step and instantly landed in front of the main gate.

    ''Something''s happened!''

    The front of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company compound was devastated. The entire main gate had been blasted to pieces, and even a large section of the surrounding walls had collapsed.

    Xiao Yan swept his Spiritual Strength across the entire compound and immediately flashed over to the collapsed arena. He waved his hand and cleared away all the debris, revealing the barely breathing mercenary company members buried under the ruins.

    Moreover, Luo Bu was the only 1-star Dou Grandmaster in the mercenary company, whereas the Mo Clan had not only three Dou Grandmasters but also dozens of Dou Masters. The combat strength of the two sides was on completely different levels.

    "If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for having a snake person with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Our Great Elder doesn''t want certain things to be spread around. So you all have to become dead people who can''t talk." The leading Mo Clan elder, Mo Tian, stroked his beard as he looked at Xiao Ding and the others with a cold smile.

    Xiao Ding glared at the Mo Clan members with vicious eyes. He never imagined that Qing Lin''s Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils would be discovered, let alone attract the attention of the Mo Clan from Yan City.

    He forced himself to stand up and laughed coldly instead of getting angry. "The Mo Clan from Yan City, huh? Good, very good. I hope you can bear my Third Brother''s wrath when the time

    comes."

    Mo Yi, who had just sent Luo Bu flying, sneered disdainfully, "Your Third Brother? The so- called genius of your mercenary company? Haha, so what if he''s a genius? No matter how amazing your Third Brother is, can he be more formidable than the Misty Cloud Sect? Our Mo Clan has the backing of the Misty Cloud Sect! Do you know the consequences of offending the Misty Cloud Sect?"

    "Oh, so there are consequences? I offended them once three years ago, but nothing much seemed to happen."

    Suddenly, a soft voice echoed from all directions, like a demonic whisper that directly penetrated the minds of everyone present.

    Xiao Ding and Xiao Li heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this voice.

    "You brat couldn''t come a little earlier next time? You always have to show up at the last minute," Xiao Li relaxed and immediately started complaining to Xiao Yan.

    A figure appeared at some point in the hall without anyone noticing. Xiao Yan smiled, took out a few medicinal pills from his storage ring, and handed them to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. He shrugged, "Just like in the stories, the hero always arrives just in

    time."

    The Mo Clan members were all startled by Xiao Yan''s sudden appearance. Mo Yi subtly motioned for everyone to slowly surround him.

    "Are you the Third Leader of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company?"

    Xiao Yan turned his back to Mo Yi and looked at the severely injured Luo Bu nearby. He tossed him a medicinal pill and smiled, "Leader Luo, congratulations on your promotion. You''re still a leader, but now you''re the Fourth Leader of the Desert Metal Mercenary Company." Luo Bu stared at this smiling youth with a stunned expression. Coming back to his senses, he said, "Third Leader, be careful! They are all from the Mo Clan, and there are three Dou Grandmaster elders among them. They are very strong. I can''t compete with them." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan finally turned around to look at the several dozen people behind him. He glanced sea of black figures and said in a calm, emotionless tone, "Not anymore." Whoosh!! Suddenly, a massive wave of black flames surged out of the void and engulfed all the Mo Clan members like a tidal wave.

    In less than half a second, the dozens of Mo Clan members were burned into nothingness by the Nihility Devouring Flame without even a chance to scream.
