Chapter 23: Killing

A moment ago, Xiao Ming in the lobby heard the sound of another fight coming from upstairs, so he thought about whether he should go upstairs to finish them off.

But before Xiao Ming could make any other superfluous moves, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the backyard.

Before the people arrived, Xiao Ming heard the voice of the person coming.

"Hahahaha, boss, is everything okay on your side? There were a few people on my side who weren't hit with the soft sinew powder, but still, they were easily knocked down by us, boss and you... uh, what's going on here!"

Xiao Ming followed the voice and saw the door leading to the small courtyard, Scarface was looking inside the hall with a shocked face and a group of followers leading some people behind him.

"Scarface what are you doing blocking the door for nothing, move aside quickly and let us in."

The thin man's voice came from behind Scarface.

Immediately after, the thin man also appeared in front of Xiao Ming.

As soon as the thin man appeared at the entrance, he also noticed the situation inside the lobby.

There were tables and chairs littered with broken pieces of wood, a few craters of debris on the floor, and the boss, who normally gave them a great sense of oppression, was currently lying motionless, his charred black body lying in a corner.

Seeing this, having been in the Black-Corner Region for so long, the thin man could say with certainty that his boss, in that state, was absolutely dead to the core!

This person was able to kill their boss, his strength was definitely above a Dou Grandmaster.

Fuck, didn't that damn Scarface say that there were no strong people, did he just come out of nowhere?

'This black robe is from that day's dwarf, Scarface, didn't you say he wasn't very old and not very strong, how is it now? Even the boss was killed by him, is this weak?'

The black-faced fatty also appeared at the door at that moment, his originally dark cheeks seemed to have darkened a few more spots as he questioned Scarface.

Hearing him say that, Scarface blushed ugly, "This... who knew he was so strong."

Scarface was also very frustrated, 'if you are strong, reveal it, why are you hiding it?'

...

Xiao Ming was a little surprised to hear their conversation.

He hadn't expected that he had been found out long ago, it was clear that he had made a good disguise.

However, Xiao Ming wanted to laugh a little at the thought that the other party despised him for being a child.

If he remembered correctly, when he had first entered the confines of the Black-Corner Region in the caravan of flying magical beasts, his mentor Ge Hu had said to pay special attention to the local elders, women and children.

These people had been in the Black-Corner Region for so long, why didn't they know to be more careful?

In fact, what Xiao Ming didn't know was that this group of traffickers was already considered a strong group in Green Rock City.

Although the young children of the Black-Corner Region were not very simple, to them, it was really like that, after all, who would have thought that such a young Dou Grandmaster would appear here? Not to mention that even ordinary Dou Grandmasters would have to lower their heads when they encountered them.

But now, encountering Xiao Ming could only be considered as their bad luck.

"Ahem, the boss is dead, why don't we run?" Scarface saw from the door that Xiao Ming hadn't moved and couldn't help but propose, without the slightest thought of avenging his dead boss in his heart.

Still not hearing his companion's reply, he saw out of the corner of his eye a flash of red sword light coming towards him.

The speed of the sword light was extremely fast, but Scarface had not been fighting for years for nothing, so his reaction was not slow.

Scarface dodged the sword maneuver, but his men behind him, who only had Dou Master strength, did not fare so well. Three or four Dou Masters who were standing in a row let out miserable cries and were directly pierced by the sword maneuver.

Materializing Dou Qi!

This guy is really a Dou Grandmaster!

Scarface got up from the ground, he didn't take long to react now, but there was still a blood mark on his face from Xiao Ming, he raised his hand and wiped off the blood mark, his heart gave up the idea of escaping.

He said indifferently, "We can't leave now, this kid wants us dead."

The black-faced fatty licked his tongue and licked someone's blood that was on his face, and his eyes were filled with strong killing intent, and he said coldly, "Then let's finish him off, Ding Lao Er is still upstairs, there are many of us, we must not be afraid of him, he must have consumed a lot of Dou Qi in the fight with boss at this time, let's go together!"

Hearing these words, he turned his head slightly, a faint Dou Qi began to appear on the surface of his body, a pair of iron fists with gloves clenched tightly, and there was a cracking sound between the joints.

Scarface, the fat man and the thin man looked at each other, and their feet hit the ground hard, like a giant magic beast, rushing straight towards Xiao Ming.

After a little hesitation, the men behind them also left the man they had caught on the ground and rushed together.

There were so many of them that the momentum was surprising.

The corners of Xiao Ming's eyes popped, but his hands didn't stop moving as he poured two bottles of healing and Qi return pills directly into his mouth.

Throwing the bottles, he pushed his sword to his feet and stretched his palm forward, performing many changes in an instant, before abruptly extending it and saying in a low voice, "Go!".

A Sanyan Void Spirit Seal had completed and flew towards Scarface and the others.

Scarface's face changed as he rushed to avoid the attack, his steps staggering as he hastily dodged.

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the bloodlust that had just surfaced on the thin man's face froze faintly, and when he looked back, most of his men were already dead or severely wounded.

His heart murmured in fright, "This force.... how is it possible!".

"Don't hesitate, let's go together, he won't be able to dispatch many of these attacks."

Scarface's feet once again pounded on the ground, this time his speed, compared to before, became significantly faster, the fierce speed, the pressure of the wind lifted Xiao Ming's black robe, revealing his childish face.

"Hehe, I've been waiting for you for a long time." The corners of Xiao Ming's mouth lifted as he frantically drew Dou Qi from his body and channeled it through the meridians of his right arm towards his sword, which burst into flames, evaporating the water in the air, making his short figure look distorted.

He took a step forward and launched several flaming sword qi diagonally, blasting Scarface and the other two in front.

When Scarface and the others looked at the flaming sword qi flying towards them, they gritted their teeth, made various colors of Dou Qi flow all over their bodies and clenched their weapons in their hands with a bang.

"The fist that shakes the mountain!"

"Bloodshadow Rod!"

"Shadowless blade!"

Boom!

The three people who took this move forcefully only felt their arms go numb and their bodies burn from the excessive heat, and their bodies that were originally coming towards Xiao Ming were knocked backwards.

Before they could stop, Xiao Ming's silhouette silently arrived and raised his sword with fierce energy, slashing their necks.

Xiao Ming's speed had increased after casting Shadow Chasing Wind, plus his strength was already superior to these people.

Therefore, only until the moment when the sword shadow was about to reach their heads, the three men realized it and their faces changed greatly and quickly placed their weapons in front of their bodies, the fighting qi increased, constantly strengthening the defense.

Boom!

The red sword shadow landed heavily on the three men's weapons, and at the same time, three muffled sounds rang out cleanly, and immediately, the three men were seen with their faces flushed red, their feet touched the ground as they quickly stepped back.

Xiao Ming's weapon was a fifth rank magic core sword, which was far superior to Scarface and company's weapon, under the collision, cracks had already appeared on their weapons.

Scarface even felt that his gloves were about to break, and a hint of despair could not help but appear on his face.

At that moment, a figure violently lunged towards Xiao Ming from the entrance of the second staircase.

Xiao Ming swung back his sword and repelled the adversary, standing in the center of the hall and parrying his attack.

Scarface and the other two men sighed in relief when they saw the arriving person and surrounded Xiao Ming in the center with the arriving man.

"Ding Lao Er, you've finally come down!"

"If you had been slower, we would be dead!"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful, this person is good, let's go together."

Ding Lao Er, who had just arrived in the hall, did not want to say much, his Dou Qi penetrated his body and turned into armor, waving at everyone to go together.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the dozen figures still in the lobby rushed towards Xiao Ming.

"Mountain-shaking fist!"

"Blood Shadow Rod!"

"Shadowless Frenzy Blade!"

"..."

In the hallway, only human figures could be seen fluttering, loud sounds and energy fluctuations erupting between Dou Qi's clashes, as Ding Lao Er and the others used all means to attack Xiao Ming.

This put great pressure on Xiao Ming, but most of these people were Dou Master and posed little danger to him, only Scarface and the others High Dou Masters needed attention.

As the shadows of the swords danced around, Xiao Ming became more skilled in the use of his own Dou Techniques, and from time to time, new ideas emerged.

The more he fought, the more excited Xiao Ming became, for he had gone out to experience these fights with the determination to die.

However, the more Ding Lao Er and his men fought, the more frightened they became: "Shit, what's wrong with this guy! After fighting for so long, he is not getting less and less, but his moves are getting more and more skillful, and he even kills one of our brothers from time to time."

The more time passed, the fewer people were left, and in the end, only Xiao Ming, Ding Lao Er, the fat man, the thin man and Scarface were still standing in the hall.

At this point of the battle, Xiao Ming was also a bit out of breath, his black robe was stained with ash and even some holes could be seen on his black robe, apparently, Xiao Ming had also been injured.

When Ding Lao Er and company saw Xiao Ming reveal his tired state, they looked at each other and both could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Good boy, finally you can't do it anymore, right?

One last blow to finish him off.

The four of them tacitly emptied their bodies of Dou Qi and sent out their strongest blows.

"Shadowless Frenzy Blade."

"The fist that shakes the mountain!"

"..."

Xiao Ming sneered as he watched the wild surge of Qi between the four of them.

"Sanyan Void Spirit Seal!"

Xiao Ming threw his sword, flames erupted from his precious sword, the flames formed a flaming sword Qi, then a blue and pink jade seal followed, instantly pressing down on Ding Lao Er and the others.

After four miserable screams, these human traffickers completely lost their lives and turned into ashes that fell to the ground.

Xiao Ming stepped forward, pulled out the sword that was stuck in the floor, and put the sword in its scabbard.

Looking at the room full of corpses, he felt the Dou Qi that was still full in his body and let out a light breath.

The fire that Xiao Ming had lit earlier had spread at an incredible speed while in battle, the wood crackled and the room was filled with the smell of blood and burnt flesh, which was a bit disgusting.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Ming could not help but frown, realizing that this place was not suitable for long, and refused to loot all the corpses to find the loot, but only focused on looting the corpses of the leaders.

Several of the corpses had already turned to charcoal, so there was nothing left.

Finally, after taking a storage ring from the withered old man's finger, Xiao Ming left.

The only thing left was a half-burned inn that was still smoldering until morning.
