11: Chapter 11 Nine-Star Warrior Wen Tao

"Eh, is this a wolf-head badge?" The Pink-robed Girl looked around and discovered a glittering badge not far from the white bones.

"A mercenary badge?" The Blue-robed Youth exclaimed. The murderer who killed Junior Brother was from a mercenary group.

"Damnable things, to actually kill someone from our Starfall Pavilion, you are courting death!"

The Pink-robed Girl was furious. The identity of the young man beside her was simply too important.

If Pavilion Master You Quan of Starfall Pavilion were to find out, it would surely stir up a storm in the Northern Region of Central State. If they didn't do something to atone for their sins, they would inevitably face punishment upon returning to the pavilion.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?" The Pink-robed Girl looked at the youth.

"Kill!" The Blue-robed Youth said coldly, his killing intent overflowing. Any mercenary who entered the Tianmu Mountain Range wearing a wolf-head badge had to die.

The two quickly swallowed medicinal pills to heal their injuries; to take revenge, they needed strength.

Under the moonlight, a tent was set up in the forest, and the burning campfire was blindingly bright in the night.

Standing on a branch of a large tree in the distance, Hun Tiandi had sharp eyes. His soul power surged out, sensing the layout of the camp.

Everything was in sight; there were a total of seven mercenaries in the camp, most of them around the strength of a five-star Dou Practitioner.

Inside the tent, there was even a nine-star Dou Practitioner, and he was Hun Tiandi's target for tonight—the third captain of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.

With Hun Tiandi's current strength, a nine-star Dou Practitioner was not impossible to fight.

Although the chances of winning were slim, it didn't prevent him from attacking. To take down a nine-star Dou Practitioner, he had to take out the seven mercenaries first.

Frowning slightly, he saw the tightly guarded camp and did not foolishly charge in directly, instead waiting for an opportunity.

The moon rose high in the sky, black clouds covered the heavens, and the silent forest was filled with the chirping of insects and birds.

A breeze arose, a cold wind blew, and the branches and leaves rustled. Hun Tiandi smiled slightly, his figure flashing as he landed on the ground from the branch.

A cold smile appeared on his delicate face. With a flip of his finger, he took a packet of medicinal powder from his storage ring and let it fall into his hand.

This medicinal powder was found in the storage ring of the Young man in white; it could cause people to fall into a deep slumber and pass out.

It was exactly what Hun Tiandi needed.

Just as he was about to make a move, he noticed two mercenaries walking out of the camp.

"Was I discovered?" Frowning slightly, he hid in the shadows of the tree trunk, watching the two mercenaries with cold eyes while circulating his Dou Zhi Qi.

The two mercenaries approached a spot not far from the tree trunk, stopped, looked around, and began to adjust their belts.

"Have you heard? The Young Leader brought a team of men and entered the Tianmu Mountain Range personally to capture that beast. I'm afraid he won't live much longer!"

One mercenary said.

"I know. Don't say that kid doesn't have some skills; he killed so many of us, yet we haven't even found a trace of him!"

The mercenary beside him said.

Upon hearing this, Hun Tiandi's expression darkened. Before the arrival of Tiangang, this nine-star Dou Practitioner had to die tonight.

"Forget it, these things are not for us to decide..." After fastening their belts, they turned around to leave.

A black shadow flashed past. Before they could react, their throats were slashed and severed. They covered their necks with their hands, eyes wide open in anger, and quickly lost consciousness.

"Let's go!" The other mercenary said. Seeing no one beside him, a white light slashed across his throat, and his vision blurred.

Quietly, he dragged the two bodies and slipped into the forest.

Standing on the branch, he held his breath as the medicinal powder in his hand was blown by the cold wind and scattered into the camp.

Under the effect of the medicinal powder, the mercenaries in the camp quickly collapsed to the ground.

A quarter of an hour later, the mercenary camp fell into a deathly silence.

He swept down from the tree trunk, flipped his hand to take out a long sword, and slowly entered the camp to finish them off, wanting to ensure every mercenary was taken care of properly.

He snuck into the tent and slashed out with his sword, cutting toward the quilt. A cold light flowed, and the icy blade struck toward Captain Wentao.

The sudden assassination attempt did not make Captain Wentao panic; he dodged the icy blade.

After the first strike failed, the sword technique changed, and the two began to fight.

"Who are you? You have some nerve to assassinate me. Are you not afraid of offending my Sky Wolf Mercenary Group?"

Captain Wentao's expression changed drastically as he shouted.

"Hehe, it is precisely because you are from the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group that I am killing you!"

The figure in green raised his head, revealing a delicate and handsome little face.

"You... Yun Tian?"

Looking at the youthful face, Captain Wentao snapped back to reality and exclaimed. Killing intent surged in his eyes as he said coldly, "You actually dare to come and assassinate me? Perfect, I will kill you and claim the reward from the Young Leader!"

After Captain Wentao finished speaking, his body was surrounded by faint Dou Qi, and he clenched his hands into fists, which creaked.

Watching Captain Wentao, who was about to make a move, a trace of excitement appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes. As expected of a nine-star Dou Practitioner, his perception was not bad.

After breaking through the extreme realm, he needed an opponent, and the nine-star Dou Practitioner Captain Wentao was just right.

He put away his long sword and circulated his Dou Zhi Qi onto his hands. The pure white Dou Zhi Qi bloomed with a glistening white light.

"Kid, being able to die by my hands is your luck!"

Captain Wentao revealed a ferocious gaze and said coldly. With a flick of one foot, he shot out like an arrow, charging toward Hun Tiandi.

Looking at the fierce energy and the violent Captain Wentao, Hun Tiandi struck after him but arrived first, saying softly, "Die!"

As his voice fell, the energy exploded, flowing from his fists as he punched the charging Captain Wentao's body.

Bang!

After a muffled groan, Captain Wentao's ferocious smile had not yet faded before his charging body, which came quickly, flew back even faster.

He shattered the tent and appeared in the camp, his feet dragging two marks seven or eight meters long before he finally stopped his momentum.

"The kid has some skills?" Captain Wentao shook his numb arms and took a deep breath.

The skin on his body turned earthy yellow, radiating a heavy feeling.

"I practice an Earth-attribute cultivation method. Can you break through my defense?"

Captain Wentao said coldly, his body, arms, and fists all earthy yellow.

In an instant, he flashed forward, his charging speed even faster than before. The surrounding air whistled. Feeling the violent wind, Hun Tiandi clenched his fists, circulating his Dou Zhi Qi to the extreme.

Like a wild dragon, he charged recklessly. In Captain Wentao's horrified gaze, Hun Tiandi did not dodge, instead crashing fiercely into Captain Wentao.

Boom!

The two figures collided head-on. Hun Tiandi used the Half-Step Crushing Fist, raining down blows like raindrops onto Captain Wentao's body.

Each strike contained a piercing Crushing Force, targeting the internal organs and meridians.

It caused his insides to ache faintly, and his blood to churn.

Clanging sounds rang out, as if a master blacksmith was forging fine iron.

"Get lost!" Captain Wentao suddenly raised his right foot, carrying unparalleled energy, and kicked forward.

Hun Tiandi's expression was calm. He struck down with his right fist, landing on Captain Wentao's right foot. The Crushing Force burst forth, and the leg bone snapped.

"Ah..." Captain Wentao screamed, clutching his right leg in pain.

"Kid, what exactly is your strength?" Captain Wentao stared fixedly at the young man, asking.

"Tenth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Central State Continent has never seen a Tenth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi. Are you lying to me?"

"Even the Flame Emperor who attained the Dou Di rank only used the Ninth Stage of Dou Zhi Qi as a foundation. How could you possibly be at the Tenth Stage?"

Upon hearing this, Captain Wentao looked at him in disbelief.

"The Flame Emperor? He is merely a lucky kid!" Hun Tiandi sighed.

Captain Wentao grinned, his cold smile extremely ferocious. Dou Qi condensed on his hands, and the muscles on his arms and body writhed like coiled dragons.

Looking at the surging momentum and the greatly increased strength of Captain Wentao, Hun Tiandi's delicate face tightened.

Pure white Dou Zhi Qi covered his fists. He slightly staggered his feet, unleashing his Dou Technique.

"Half-Step Crushing Fist!"

Hun Tiandi unfolded his Floating Cloud Stance, and the energy burst forth. The white fist light, carrying an oppressive whistling wind, smashed fiercely toward Captain Wentao's head.
