"Muli!"
"Little Fairy Doctor!"
It was Mu Li and his group who barged in.
Besides Muli, there was his father Mushe, the second commander Ganmu, the third commander Hemeng, and a pretty woman dressed as a maid.
"Lifi!"
Upon seeing the pretty woman in the maid outfit, Little Fairy Doctor's expression immediately turned ugly.
She had only mentioned the discovery of the treasure cave to her assistant, Lifei, and never expected that Lifei would now bring others to ambush her.
"Little Fairy Doctor, I'm sorry..."
Meeting the gaze of Little Fairy Doctor, the pretty woman averted her eyes and hid beside Mu Li, who had come in with her.
"Haha, there really is a treasure! Lifei, you've done a great job this time. When we get back, I'll definitely pamper you. Of course, I'll also add Little Fairy Doctor to the mix!"
Mu Li laughed heartily, his eyes burning with excitement as he looked at the three stone chests that Liu Xi and his companion had opened inside the stone chamber, as well as the underground secret compartment they had opened. He stepped back slightly, moving to his father Mu She's side, and laughed triumphantly as he watched Liu Xi and his companion.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the news of Little Fairy Doctor finding the treasure cave was actually true. When my son told me about it before, I was still a little skeptical. Now, I'm sorry to have bothered you two!"
Mu She, carrying a long steel spear, greedily scanned the stone chamber, swallowed hard twice, and finally fixed his gaze on Liu Xi and the other man, chuckling softly.
"This must be the alchemist my son mentioned. I am Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. If the alchemist is willing to share these treasures with us, then today, we will shake hands and make peace. From now on, you will be an honored guest of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group."
"If you're willing, you can also join my Wolf Head Mercenary Group as a retainer alchemist. With your alchemy skills, combined with my Wolf Head Mercenary Group, we can jointly dominate Green Mountain Town, expand our influence, and seize a portion of the northwestern territory of the Monster Beast Mountain Range. What do you say?"
Mu She wasn't stupid. Alchemists who could condense real fire were either fourth-grade alchemists or possessed beast fire. Alchemists who possessed beast fire were extremely powerful in combat.
Given Liu Xi's young age, it's unlikely he's a fourth-grade alchemist, but he's probably at least a Dou Shi (Battle Master) level.
He didn't want to be Liu Xi's enemy unless absolutely necessary.
"Heh, Commander Mu, you've got a good plan. You want me to share the treasures with you and help you dominate the northwest of the Monster Mountain Range. But I have a question..."
Are you worthy?
boom!
A dazzling golden flame rose from Liu Xi's palm.
"careful!"
"Li'er, take her and step back first!"
Mu She, Gan Mu, and He Meng immediately became alert and prepared for battle.
He raised the steel spear in his hand, and a ball of light blue battle aura burst out from Mu She's body, enveloping him and slowly condensing into a layer of battle aura veil.
The Dou Qi Gauze Robe is a symbol of a powerful Dou Shi (Battle Master).
This gauze garment not only enhances the defense, speed, and attack power of a Dou Shi expert in all aspects, but also continuously absorbs external Dou Qi energy to replenish the wearer's internal energy consumption.
In a battle between martial arts masters, the starting move is usually to summon a battle aura veil.
"You should think this through. Although you are an alchemist, this is not a large city. Although you have the strength of a Dou Shi, we have a nine-star Dou Shi, an eight-star Dou Shi, and dozens of other members at the Dou Shi level. If we fight head-on, you have no chance of winning!"
Mu She still intended to try to persuade Liu Xi.
After all, the influence of an alchemist and the hidden power behind him were beyond the imagination of his small Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
This time, it's simply because there are just too many treasures!
"snort!"
"You bunch of chickens and dogs, you dare to threaten me!"
"Little Fairy Doctor, be careful!"
Liu Xi made the first move, his golden flames transforming into a fireball, which he fiercely smashed towards Mu She's direction.
He himself followed closely behind, charging towards Mu She and the others who were blocking the entrance to the stone chamber.
Clang!
"Let's do it!"
"Don't hurt Little Fairy Doctor, focus all your efforts on attacking this person!"
A golden tail of flame streaked through the air as Mu She roared angrily and raised his spear to attack Liu Xi, who was charging towards him.
"Phoenix Soaring Step!"
"Swift Strike!"
Mu She lightly touched the ground with his toes, his fighting spirit surging within him. His body moved like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, instantly dodging Liu Xi's golden fireball.
With a sudden twist of his steel spear, a faint blue vortex enveloped the spear tip, and with a swift sound, it struck towards Liu Xi's head.
"Mystic Fire Step!"
"Mystic Fire Fist!"
Facing the chilling spear thrusting towards him with cunning precision, Liu Xi remained calm and composed.
With a thought in his mind, it was as if whirlpools and wheels of fire were placed under his feet. With a whoosh, he deflected Mu She's chilling spear tip and instantly appeared in front of Mu She, whose expression had changed drastically.
Bang!
The fist, imbued with boundless golden flames and fighting spirit, slammed viciously into Mu She's heart.
Snap!
Mu She's light blue battle aura-infused gauze robe couldn't withstand the pressure for even half a second before it tore apart inch by inch!
puff!
The heart opening of the Mu serpent was sunken inward, its chest was smashed and bulged, and its spine was raised high.
Finally, he could no longer bear it. With a look of horror and bulging eyes, he was sent flying high into the air like a slingshot.
As the person was in mid-air, bright red blood, mixed with fragments of an exploding heart, gushed out.
Clang!
Mu She slammed hard against the stone wall next to the stone door behind him, and the entire stone chamber shook violently from the impact.
The fine steel spear in his hand clattered to the ground.
"How...how is this possible!?"
Mu She, covered in blood, struggled, looked up in terror at Liu Xi, kicked her legs, and died on the spot.
"not good!"
"Commander!"
"father!"
Second Regiment Commander Gan Mu, Third Regiment Commander He Meng, Junior Regiment Commander Mu Li—unexpectedly, Mu She was defeated so quickly.
By the time they realized what was happening, Mu She was already lying dead in the corner like a pile of smashed mud.
"Run!"
"We can't beat them!"
"We're doomed!"
Liu Xi's fighting prowess shocked everyone present.
The quick-thinking members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had already thrown away their torches and turned to run.
Gan Mu and He Meng were so frightened that they lost all will to fight.
Gan Mu turned and ran, while He Meng's legs trembled so much that he knelt down on the ground.
Mu She glared at Liu Xi with resentment, then turned and ran away.
"Young Master Mu Li, take me with you!"
Lifei turned pale and her pretty face turned ashen as she pulled Muli, who was trying to run away.
"Get out of here! You bitch!"
With a vicious slap, Muli sent Lifi flying and shot off like an arrow towards the outside of the stone gate.
"Can you leave now...?"
"None of them will escape!"
Golden flames of battle aura swept over his entire body, and Liu Xi, like a god of fire, charged into the crowd, killing Gan Mumu and the others one by one with a punch and two kicks.
