Chapter 27

"What?"

Hearing Xiao Ning's words, Xiao Yixian was startled and immediately showed a look of panic.

"It must be Mu Li! I had a feeling he was spying on me, but I didn't expect him to find us so quickly."

Xiao Yixian's face looked a bit ugly, and she was very anxious.

They were under the cliff with Mu Li and his men above.

Climbing up rashly would lead to disaster.

"What should we do?"

Xiao Yixian panicked and placed all her hopes on Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning sneered.

"What to do? Kill them all, of course!"

Without another word, Xiao Ning stepped forward and jumped directly onto the cliff under Xiao Yixian's confused gaze.

As Xiao Ning had sensed, the cliff was surrounded by people in mercenary outfits, members of Mu Li's Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

"Xiao Yixian, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing the two coming up from the cliff, Mu Li, who had been waiting above, smiled confidently.

But when he saw Xiao Ning, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Who is this kid, and why have I never seen him before?" he wondered.

When he sensed that Xiao Ning's cultivation was only at the level of a fighter, he felt relieved.

"You dare to touch the woman I like? You're seeking death!"

Seeing Xiao Ning holding Xiao Yixian's waist, Mu Li's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Xiao Yixian looked at the dozens of mercenaries opposite them and said coldly,

"Mu Li, have you been following me?"

"I heard you found a treasure cave a few days ago,but since I didn't know the exact location..." Mu Li shrugged and smiled.

"How did you get that information? I only mentioned it to my assistant, Li Fei,did you bribe her?" A trace of doubt crossed Xiao Yixian's face before she quickly became angry.

"Haha, that woman is quite stupid,a few sweet words, and she spilled everything."

Mu Li smiled, not denying Xiao Yixian's guess.

"You bastard!" Xiao Yixian scolded, eyebrows raised.

"Sorry, these things are too important to our Wolf Head Mercenary Group,with them, we can easily annex all the forces in Qingshan Town and have the strength to expand,my vision isn't confined to this small town," Mu Li said calmly.

"Give me the items, Xiao Yixian,you know how I feel about you,If you follow me, I'll never treat you badly when I take over the Wolf Head Mercenary Group." His eyes full of affection, Mu Li's voice softened.

"Follow you? I feel sick even talking to you!"

Xiao Yixian's voice was mean, her anger palpable. Mu Li's behavior had clearly enraged her.

Mu Li smiled, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, I'll force you to stay with me."

He turned to Xiao Ning and said with a smile, "Little brother, if you hand over Xiao Yixian and the treasures, I'll let you go."

Before Xiao Ning could respond, Xiao Yixian said anxiously, "Don't believe him, he's cunning and will go back on his word."

She glanced at Xiao Ning and whispered, "If you delay for a moment, I'll find a way to escape."

She took out a flute, blew gently, and sent strange sound waves into the night sky.

"Then blow slowly," Xiao Ning said, chuckling.

He walked towards Mu Li and his men, a cold light in his eyes.

"You can all die!"

"Boy, you're looking for death!"

Mu Li sneered, clenching his fists as a green fighting spirit surged.

His fists turned the color of wood, glowing with fierce energy as he struck at Xiao Ning.

"Little tricks!"

Xiao Ning laughed, punching with his right fist, a terrifying force surging out.

"Boom!"

The two fists met with a thunderous sound.

Mu Li's body flew backwards, spitting blood, and landed heavily dozens of meters away.

"You..."

Mu Li's eyes showed disbelief, then resentment, and finally, he died.

With one punch, Xiao Ning had shattered all of his bones and meridians.

Before the mercenaries could react, a nine-leaf sword grass rune lit up in Xiao Ning's palm.

A terrifying sword energy swept towards the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, cutting them down instantly.

A strong smell of blood filled the cliff, and the dozens of corpses looked very bloody.

As the mercenaries died, an inexplicable force pulled their souls into Xiao Ning's body, absorbed by the inheritance star in his mind.

At this moment, Xiao Yixian's flute stopped abruptly.

The scene had exploded in the blink of an eye. Xiao Ning's killing speed was so fast that Xiao Yixian hadn't even reacted before all the mercenaries were dead.

"You... you killed them all?"

Xiao Yixian held the flute, looking at Xiao Ning picking up spoils.

She felt her lips stiffen and a chill rose in her heart. Thinking of having cooperated with such a murderous person and survived safely, she couldn't help but feel scared.

"Didn't they deserve to die?"

Holding Mu Li's ring, Xiao Ning put it away casually.

Although there were no treasures, even a little gain was something.

"Don't worry, I don't kill indiscriminately, If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't even be alive."

Looking at the wary Xiao Yixian, Xiao Ning felt a bit amused.
