Seeing Huang Lie's Dou Qi armor, Mo Yu's expression remained unchanged.
With a sudden stomp on the ground, Mo Yu shot straight toward Huang Lie. His body twisted in an eerie rotation, narrowly avoiding the sharp tiger claws aimed at him.
His foot twisted slightly, and Mo Yu rushed forward, forcing his body into a strange arc. His elbow struck down fiercely on Huang Lie's chest armor.
"Thunder Body!"
A low roar echoed in his mind, and Mo Yu's entire aura suddenly became as fierce as a magical beast!
At the tip of his elbow, thirty thunder patterns shone brightly, carrying an immense force, creating sharp sonic booms as they moved through the air.
Noticing the terrifying energy gathered at Mo Yu's elbow, Huang Lie's previously arrogant smile faltered.
He hadn't expected that Mo Yu, who was only at the Dou Shi level, could unleash such a powerful attack. In response, the Dou Qi within his body surged rapidly, making the light on his chest armor shine even brighter.
"Bang!"
Mo Yu's elbow slammed hard onto the chest armor. A force comparable to that of a second-tier top-level magical beast erupted from the impact, causing cracks to spiderweb across the stone floor around them.
"Not bad, kid. I didn't think you knew such advanced Dou Techniques. I underestimated you!"
Huang Lie's body trembled violently, his face alternating between pale and flushed. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Feeling the blood at his mouth, Huang Lie's face twisted with rage, resembling an enraged lion. He couldn't believe that as a Da Dou Shi, he had been pushed to such a pathetic state by this brat.
"Little bastard, you must die today!"
Huang Lie's face contorted with fury as he roared. His left hand shot out, gripping Mo Yu's wrist tightly before he could pull back.
On his right fist, yellow Dou Qi gathered swiftly, brewing a terrifying force that caused onlookers' faces to pale as he swung it toward Mo Yu's chest.
If this strike connected, even if Mo Yu didn't die, he would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries and lose the ability to fight.
The violent pressure made Mo Yu's expression harden slightly.
A ruthless glint flashed across his face as he trembled slightly. His right hand, wrapped in silver Dou Qi, aimed once again at the crack he had created in the armor with the Thunder Body.
The two fists, vastly different in size, brushed past each other. The fierce energy from both caused the hearts of each combatant to grow wary.
Mo Yu didn't avoid the attack. His stance made it clear—he was willing to fight to the death.
Seeing Mo Yu's ruthless posture, a cruel smile appeared on Huang Lie's face. Competing with a Da Dou Shi in endurance? This kid must be out of his mind.
The people around the street watched the nearly bare-fisted battle between the two and couldn't help but let out gasps.
Mo Yu's decision to go head-to-head with a Da Dou Shi made many thinks he had lost his mind. Even Little Beast King watched on indifferently. Although the boy's performance surprised him, he thought it would end here.
He didn't believe that a mere six-star Dou Shi could defeat a two-star Da Dou Shi. Under the gaze of the crowd, Mo Yu and Huang Lie's fists, carrying ear-piercing sonic booms, finally closed in on each other.
At this moment, the entire street fell silent as everyone held their breath, eyes wide, staring intently at the two figures in the center. They all had the same premonition: in this exchange, one of them would definitely be knocked out…
The members of the Berserk Lion Mercenary Group raised their heads confidently, certain their leader would win. The dignity of a Da Dou Shi could not be challenged!
Qing Lin, however, looked at the battlefield anxiously. Although the young master was invincible in her heart, her delicate nature couldn't help but worry. As Qing Lin nervously watched the fight, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Hearing the voice, Qing Lin was startled. She looked at the battlefield in confusion, and after understanding what the voice was conveying, her eyes blinked in surprise.
It was Mo Yu's voice.
Despite her confusion, she followed Mo Yu's instructions, quietly leaving the battlefield. No one paid any attention to Qing Lin's departure. Compared to the intense fight, a little girl's actions were insignificant…
Back on the battlefield, at the moment when Mo Yu's fist connected with Huang Lie's body, his fist suddenly trembled slightly. As it trembled, a wisp of crimson thunder flame appeared, slowly wrapping around Mo Yu's fist.
When the seemingly insignificant crimson thunder appeared, the space around Mo Yu's fist distorted, and the air became paralyzingly heavy.
The sudden change in the atmosphere immediately caught Huang Lie's attention. He glanced down at the flickering crimson thunder, first showing confusion, then his pupils shrank to pinpoints as shock and horror spread across his face.
"Boom!"
The two fists, both containing terrifying energy, finally collided with their target. Instantly, both Mo Yu and Huang Lie turned pale. At that moment, the two who had been like rampaging thunderstorms froze in place.
The powerful energy waves at their feet cracked the stone floor beneath them, leaving it looking like a plowed field. Simultaneously, thick smoke and dust rose, obscuring their figures.
Around the street, everyone fell silent, their eyes locked on the two still figures through the dust. The silence lasted for several minutes until, suddenly, Huang Lie's body trembled.
As his body shook, Mo Yu's face flushed red, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his lips. Seeing this, the street erupted in cheers.
"Our leader! Of course, he wouldn't lose to some brat!" a Berserk Lion mercenary shouted excitedly, laughing with joy, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Killing Mo Yu and retrieving the Earthcore Soul Fruit would allow their leader, Huang Lie, to return to his family. Even ordinary mercenaries like them would rise in status.
In the Mu Lan Empire, even the great families would have to show respect to the Berserk Lion Mercenary Group. Little Beast King's eyes flashed with contempt. Even if the boy's victory had surprised him, a dead genius was just dust in the wind.
The boy was a good seedling. If he had surrendered, with some training, he could have been a valuable right-hand man. At that moment, everyone believed Mo Yu's defeat was inevitable.
But in the next second, to everyone's shock, the seemingly defeated Mo Yu coughed violently and slowly turned around.
After turning, he calmly walked to the side, picked up the Divine Might Black Thunder Spear, and placed it into his storage ring before walking away from the battlefield.
As Mo Yu turned, Huang Lie, who had been standing motionless, tilted slightly and fell heavily to the ground. His face, still frozen in horror, became visible as the dust settled.
Shocked gazes swept across Huang Lie's body, finally settling on his chest.
Where the Dou Qi armor had once covered his chest, a large, charred hole had formed. Looking through the hole, all his internal organs had been incinerated.
"Leader!"
Seeing the horrific state of Huang Lie's corpse, the Berserk Lion mercenaries felt their scalps tingle in terror.
Taking a deep breath, the mercenaries' eyes filled with fear as they shifted their gazes toward Mo Yu, who looked like an innocent boy but had struck with deadly ferocity.
"Gulp…"
As Mo Yu approached, the Berserk Lion mercenaries involuntarily took a step back.
Clearly, their leader's tragic death had instilled a deep fear of Mo Yu in their hearts.
"Clap… clap… clap…"
Just as the mercenaries were retreating in fear, a slow clapping sound echoed. Little Beast King, clapping his hands, walked toward Mo Yu.
When the Little Beast King was still several meters away from Mo Yu, he came to a halt. At the same time, the crisp sound of clapping also stopped.
The Little Beast King's cold and proud eyes looked toward Mo Yu. The arrogance in his gaze slightly diminished, and a hint of admiration slowly emerged.
"Your name is Mo Yu, correct? Your talent is indeed extraordinary and surprising," he said. "I'll give you another chance. The Earthcore Soul Fruit is useless to you, but it's very important to me. I can trade you something of equal value. If you pledge loyalty to me, I can grant you the title of a first-class guard on behalf of my family. What do you say?"
As he spoke, the Little Beast King raised his chin and stared intently at Mo Yu.
To buy the Earthcore Soul Fruit and offer Mo Yu the status of a first-class guard was an offer that would tempt even some Dou Wang powerhouses in the Mu Lan Empire.
A first-class guard was equivalent to the status of a Huang Clan enforcer, and the entire family had fewer than five. Giving such a position to the young Mo Yu was truly an exceptional favor.
If it weren't for his status as the Little Beast King, the next heir of the Mu Lan Valley and a prince, he wouldn't have had the qualifications to offer Mo Yu such a title.
However, to his surprise, the young man across from him simply rubbed his sore shoulder and calmly shook his head. "Not interested."
Hearing this, the smile on the Little Beast King's face gradually faded, replaced by a cold expression as he glared icily at the young man before him.
He hadn't expected that the offer, which could even move Dou Wang powerhouses, would be regarded as nothing more than roadside weeds by this boy.
"It seems that killing Huang Lie has made you forget your own limits. Since you're so disrespectful, don't blame me for showing no mercy. It's a shame though—I did appreciate your talent."
As the Little Beast King spoke, his aura surged violently. His power as a five-star Da Dou Shi burst forth, overwhelming and domineering.
Compared to Huang Lie, the Little Beast King's level and cultivation techniques were clearly much higher. The powerful pressure of his Dou Qi caused even the nearby berserk lion mercenaries to feel suffocated.
Seeing this, Mo Yu frowned slightly. The Little Beast King's strength was indeed formidable. If it were purely a contest of Dou Qi, Mo Yu thought he might not be able to withstand three of his opponent's attacks.
After all, he was only a six-star Dou Shi right now.
However, Mo Yu glanced toward the empty space behind him, thinking to himself that Qing Lin should have completed her task by now...
Seeing Mo Yu looking somewhat distracted, the Little Beast King's brow furrowed. Facing him, the boy dared to be absent-minded. Was he fearless or had he given up?
"Hmph, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, today you will die!"
With a cold snort, the Little Beast King's killing intent surged as his right fist clenched tightly. A terrifying aura erupted from him, blood-red light condensing on his fist as he swung it toward Mo Yu with no unnecessary flourish, just raw, overwhelming power. The air exploded with a deafening sonic boom as the strike tore through the atmosphere.
It was clear the Little Beast King intended to obliterate Mo Yu with this one punch.
Faced with the deadly strike, Mo Yu furrowed his brows. While the move was dangerous, if he used his soul power, he could not only defend against it but possibly counterattack and defeat his opponent.
But if he did that, the task he had entrusted to Qing Lin might fail...
He hesitated for a moment, and when there was still no movement, Mo Yu's eyes turned cold. Just as he was about to use his soul power to strike back, a series of loud crashing sounds erupted from the side.
Accompanying the sounds, the houses along the street began to collapse as if struck by an earthquake, and the ground beneath Mo Yu and the others shook violently.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes lit up with a trace of joy, while the Little Beast King's eyes flashed with doubt, his attack stalling in mid-air.
Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, a massive lizard with a thick snake-like tail and black scales suddenly emerged from the collapsing buildings.
"A fourth-rank magical beast!"
Sensing the aura of the giant serpent-lizard, the berserk lion mercenaries and the Little Beast King's eyes widened in shock. How could a fourth-rank magical beast appear in a small town?
The Little Beast King instinctively looked toward Mo Yu. The appearance of the fourth-rank magical beast made him suspicious of the young man.
But seeing Mo Yu's equally panicked expression, seemingly just as surprised by the beast's appearance, the Little Beast King's suspicion began to fade.
As he was thinking this, the triangular eyes of the fourth-rank magical beast suddenly locked onto the Little Beast King at the center of the scene. Remembering its little mistress's earlier orders, the giant lizard stared at the Little Beast King as if he were prey.
At that moment, an ominous feeling welled up in the Little Beast King's heart. Faced with this powerful fourth-rank magical beast, no matter how much of a genius he was, he couldn't bridge the enormous gap in strength.
Just as he was preparing to retreat and call for help, the massive lizard lunged forward, pouncing on him with incredible speed.
"Uncle Zhu, help—!"
Before he could finish his cry for help, the giant lizard's tail whipped around like a deadly chain, wrapping tightly around the Little Beast King's waist, its immense strength rendering him immobile.
With the Little Beast King firmly bound, to the shock of everyone present except for Mo Yu, the giant lizard made no further aggressive moves. It didn't harm him but instead leaped into the air, swiftly retreating toward the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
In less than a minute, such an unexpected scene had unfolded, leaving everyone except Mo Yu utterly dumbfounded.
Since when did the serpent-lizards of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range start taking up kidnapping?
Not long after the giant lizard had fled, a terrifyingly strong aura suddenly surged from one side of the town.
Feeling this powerful presence, Mo Yu frowned. This person's aura was far stronger than the Mo Clan's Grand Elder had ever been.
To think that Huang Xun had a seven or eight-star Dou Ling powerhouse following him—it seemed the Little Beast King of the Mu Lan Empire was indeed a figure of great importance.
As the aura continued to swell, an enraged voice like a clap of thunder echoed through the small town.
"You wretched beast! How dare you!"
