60: Xiao Yan's Madness

Autumn Wild Blue Cloth City, Goblin Forest.

Three Dragon Nest Fighters hovered high in the air, constantly monitoring the leveling team below.

In the forest below, dozens of Ya Zi official members, who had undergone their third or fourth class advancement, stood in front of several hovercars.

In the center of their area was an open space. Xiao Yan, who had just returned to the team, held a huge Wolf Tooth Hammer in his hand and smashed the head of a Goblin Ranger into a pulp with one blow.

All the Ya Zi Squad members looked at Xiao Yan with strange expressions.

Everyone felt that Xiao Yan was different from before, but no one went to criticize him.

Everyone believed that Xiao Yan must have been traumatized by being abducted, and venting on monsters was understandable.

But at this moment, Xiao Yan seemed to be enjoying the pleasure of smashing people with his hammer.

"Youyou, do you think Xiao Yan is really Ye Xiu?"

Li Jingliang lowered his voice and asked Archer Youyou.

Youyou was slightly startled, then shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I didn't see him kill the BOSS, but he said Meteor Fire Rain was cast by him, so he's probably Ye Xiu."

"Then why is he still alive?" Li Jingliang glanced at Xiao Yan and asked quietly again.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

"Li Jingliang, what did you just say?"

Xiao Yan's voice was incredibly cold.

Li Jingliang shrank his neck, about to pretend he hadn't heard.

But suddenly, the image of Xiao Yan boarding the hovercar and escaping flashed before his eyes.

A surge of nameless anger suddenly ignited in Li Jingliang's heart.

"I asked if you are really Ye Xiu?"

"Was Meteor Fire Rain cast by you?"

"The more I think about it, the more I feel like you're impersonating him!"

"I've inquired, Forbidden Spell Scrolls are controlled items; you can't just buy them with money."

Li Jingliang stared intently into Xiao Yan's eyes as he spoke.

"You dare to question me? You're courting death!"

Xiao Yan's body instantly transformed into an afterimage, appearing in front of Li Jingliang, and he raised his hand to grab Li Jingliang's neck.

Li Jingliang's expression changed slightly, but he was a warrior, how could he be intimidated by a mage getting close?

He suddenly raised the shield in his hand, intending to block Xiao Yan. Although he didn't dare to actually attack Xiao Yan, passive defense carried no psychological burden.

However, what Li Jingliang didn't expect was that an overwhelming force instantly came from the shield in his hand.

At this moment, he felt as if he had been hit by a car speeding at high velocity.

Bang...

The shield was instantly thrown far away.

And Li Jingliang coughed up blood, his entire body flying backward.

Boom...

He landed heavily on the ground, a searing pain spreading through his body. His arm and half of his body felt as if they no longer belonged to him.

Bang!

A golden mage boot cruelly stepped on his face, slowly twisting and grinding.

"Question me? Do you even deserve it? Pfft..."

Xiao Yan said disdainfully, spitting directly on Li Jingliang's face.

"You are not fit to be the captain of Ya Zi at all. Compared to Team Leader Lin, you're just trash!"

Although Li Jingliang was being trampled on the ground, he vented all the resentment accumulated in his heart.

"Say that again!"

Xiao Yan's voice became somewhat shaky, as if someone had reopened a wound that had just barely healed.

"You're just trash! You're not even fit to carry Team Leader Lin's shoes!" Li Jingliang twisted his head forcefully, glaring at Xiao Yan out of the corner of his eye.

"Courting death!"

Xiao Yan raised the Wolf Tooth Hammer high in his hand, ready to smash Li Jingliang.

"Xiao Team, how can you be like this? Jingliang is a member of Ya Zi. He was just joking with you. How can you treat him like this?"

Youyou was frightened by the sudden scene unfolding before her. She immediately rushed towards Li Jingliang, wanting to stop Xiao Yan.

But as she got close, Xiao Yan backhanded her, directly slapping Youyou across the face.

Youyou was sent spinning several times in the air by his slap before falling to the ground.

Two streaks of white light suddenly appeared on Youyou and Li Jingliang, and their injuries instantly healed.

"Xiao Yan, that's enough!" Zhou Mengyan shouted sharply, clearly enraged.

Xiao Yan gave a cold laugh, and the golden scroll immediately appeared in his hand.

As he slowly unrolled the scroll, an overwhelming surge of fiery magical elements began to gather in the sky.

The aura was exactly the same as when Meteor Fire Rain had appeared that day.

"Still think I'm bluffing?"

"See? This is a Forbidden Spell Scroll!"

"Lin Ling? He's nothing! My power is far beyond what you can comprehend!"

Xiao Yan said with a sinister grin, and all the surrounding Ya Zi members' expressions changed drastically.

Youyou was already terrified, and Li Jingliang was also stunned by the Forbidden Spell Scroll, no longer daring to speak.

Just then, a system announcement suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Looking at the dungeon's first clear list, everyone looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.

Ye Xiu was not Xiao Yan at all; the lie fell apart on its own.

Xiao Yan's face turned beet red, instantly enraged and embarrassed, a scarlet gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Heh heh... Ye Xiu? I want to leave the guild!" Youyou glared at Xiao Yan. Tomorrow was the day to sign the official contract, and it was fortunate that she saw Xiao Yan's true colors today.

"Leaving the team?"

Xiao Yan released Li Jingliang, took large strides forward, grabbed Youyou, and walked towards the nearest hovercar.

"Before you leave, how about you have some fun with this young master!"

Youyou's expression changed drastically.

"Let go of me! What are you doing?"

"Mengyan Jie, Jingliang, help me... Wuwuwu..."

Youyou's cries for help came through.

"Xiao Yan, let go of Youyou! What are you trying to do?" Zhou Mengyan shouted angrily again.

Li Jingliang also climbed up from the ground and charged directly at Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yan, you bastard, let go of Youyou!" Li Jingliang's eyes were bloodshot. He had been secretly in love with Youyou for a long time, and as a warrior, protection was his highest honor.

However, he hadn't even touched Xiao Yan yet.

A cold voice instantly ignited him.

"Blazing Incineration!"

Li Jingliang's body was instantly enveloped by scorching flames.

Large amounts of damage values rapidly appeared above his head.

A piercing scream erupted from his mouth, but the knight's sword in his hand still thrust towards Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Zhou Mengyan instinctively cast a healing spell, but she was still a step too late.

The moment the healing spell landed, Li Jingliang's body completely turned into a pile of ashes.

Xiao Yan's equipment was vastly superior to Li Jingliang's, almost instantly killing him.

"You... you actually killed your own teammate..." Zhou Mengyan's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice trembled, "Mother, I'm sorry, I don't want to stay here for another moment."

Xiao Yan's pupils constricted, and a large amount of sweat seeped from his forehead.

He looked at the ashes on the ground with some disbelief, as if everything that had just happened wasn't his doing at all.

But soon, streaks of blood-red lines flashed in his pupils, a sinister smile slowly emerged on his face, and his eyes held an even greater lewdness.

"Teammate? Just trash. I originally wanted to play around with this girl, but now I've changed my mind. How about you play with me?"

Xiao Yan threw the terrified Youyou aside and strode towards Zhou Mengyan.

"How dare you!" Zhou Mengyan rebuked, but Xiao Yan had no intention of stopping.

Just as Xiao Yan approached within five meters, a golden scroll immediately appeared in Zhou Mengyan's hand.

The moment this scroll appeared, Xiao Yan instantly stopped, and most of the bloodshot veins in his eyes vanished.

"Forbidden Spell Scroll? How is that possible? How could you also have a Forbidden Spell Scroll?"

Xiao Ya's voice came from not far away. In her perception, Zhou Mengyan was nothing more than a cleaner's daughter.

"Don't force me! I'm taking Youyou and leaving! From now on, I will have no further connection with the Ya Zi team!" Zhou Mengyan shouted coldly.

However, just then, a sudden change occurred.

A slender figure suddenly appeared beside her, surprisingly snatching the golden scroll from her hand.

Zhou Mengyan's expression changed drastically. She had never imagined that a Fourth Class Assassin would quietly appear behind her.
