10: I'm the dog king.

Lin Xianhuo’s Fire God Blade intimidated everyone, making them afraid to advance.

She coldly snorted, “Get out of my way, or I’ll make sure all of you die here today!”

“She’s right, step aside.” At this moment, a man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a suit walked down from the second floor, his voice frivolous.

He was the Black Market’s ace assassin, known as Black Butcher, because he always wore a neat black suit, killed without spilling blood, and acted decisively.

Black Butcher’s posture was very gentlemanly; he swept his gaze across the battlefield and frowned slightly.

“Quickly, carry Young Lord to the hospital, he can still be reattached!”

“Young Lord, please bear with it.”

Huang Qianfeng roared, “Black Butcher, you must kill her!”

“Don’t worry, Young Lord, I’ve never failed.” Black Butcher grinned, a cruel expression on his face.

He tugged at his black tie and stared coldly at Lin Xianhuo.

“This blade art, this precious blade… a truly great figure.”

Lin Xianhuo sneered, “Then why don’t you get out of the way, knowing that!”

Black Butcher shook his head and said, “Alas, if my Huang family were to cower because of a great figure, then what’s the point of running this Black Market?”

As his words fell.

“Whoosh!”

He suddenly flicked his hand, and ten steel needles flew from between the fingers of his hands.

Lin Xianhuo’s delicate body trembled.

This guy, he didn’t even say a word before attacking!

She hastily raised her blade and swept out a circular dance.

“Clang, clang, clang.”

The ten steel needles were easily swept away. Lin Xianhuo breathed a sigh of relief and sneered, “Nothing special.”

But the next second, her expression drastically changed.

Those ten steel needles were merely a diversion. Black Butcher had already closed in, his sharp knuckle dusters piercing through the flames, about to smash into her cheek.

Lin Xianhuo clearly felt this terrifying force.

Her pupils suddenly contracted. This was at least a Little Grandmaster; if she were hit, she would surely die!

“Blaze Burst!”

She roared, instantly expelling all the Qi of a Martial Artist, and it was accompanied by intense flames.

Black Butcher executed a beautiful sidestep, perfectly dodging the attack. He stood up and looked at Lin Xianhuo, his eyes already filled with surprise and doubt.

“Seventh-tier Cultivation Technique, Blaze Burst?”

“You’re only a Martial Artist! How can you learn a seventh-tier Martial Arts?”

“What level of talent do you have? Saint-Grade?”

“Damn it, it seems you really are a great figure. I absolutely cannot let you leave today!”

Talent is divided into one-star to nine-star, then Venerable, then Quasi-Saint, Saint-Grade, Quasi-Divine, Divine-Grade, and above that, the legendary Myth-Grade.

A Martial Artist corresponds to a third-tier Cultivation Technique. It’s not impossible to Cultivate better ones, but if your talent isn’t enough, you won’t be able to learn them!

But the opponent, a mere Martial Artist, used a seventh-tier Cultivation Technique so smoothly!

This talent is too terrifying!

Cannot be kept alive!

Suddenly, Lin Xianhuo noticed a black-clad figure in the distance happily “stealing” something.

That movement, that posture.

Dog King!

“Hey, help me!” Lin Xianhuo roared.

Black Butcher also turned his head to look.

Xiao Fan paused his movements and chuckled awkwardly, “You guys fight your fight, why are you looking at me?”

Black Butcher looked at the other guards around him and coldly snorted, “What are you standing around for? Deal with him!”

Then, he turned back to continue fighting Lin Xianhuo.

Lin Xianhuo was furious, mortified. Dog King, are you kidding me?

At a time like this, you’re still stealing things here?

Black Butcher was too strong. After using that Blaze Burst, her strength and speed were clearly weakened by three points. Although she focused her attention, she was still continuously beaten back by Black Butcher.

Suddenly.

Black Butcher heard a series of “clanging” sounds from behind him, frowned slightly, but didn’t think much of it.

He needed to deal with Lin Xianhuo quickly.

The knuckle dusters shot out again. This time, he used a fifth-tier Cultivation Technique, Golden Ox Force, and both his speed and power increased significantly!

Lin Xianhuo’s long blade couldn’t be raised in time, and despair appeared on her face.

Ding Dong, behind her, shrieked, “Help!”

But at this moment.

A dark yellow bludgeon suddenly appeared.

Xiao Fan’s arm muscles bulged, and all strength-amplifying Cultivation Techniques were used simultaneously.

Then.

“Thud!”

The bludgeon directly slammed into Black Butcher’s face with immense force, causing the bludgeon itself to dent!

Black Butcher was sent flying on the spot, his head hitting the ground, his face covered in blood!

“Who the hell ambushed me!” he roared!

Xiao Fan’s heart sank. As expected of the Black Market’s ace assassin, even with a new weapon, a full-force strike couldn’t knock him out? Did he Cultivate Iron Head Kung Fu or something?

But it wasn’t a big problem.

He glared at Lin Xianhuo and said, “What are you standing around for?”

“Press the advantage, chop him!”

After speaking, he carried the bludgeon himself and charged forward.

“Bang!”

A bludgeon fell, and Black Butcher reacted extremely quickly, hastily blocking it.

Luckily, Lin Xianhuo arrived and directly slashed Black Butcher’s arm!

“Are you stupid? Chop his head!” Xiao Fan cursed.

“I…” Lin Xianhuo felt wronged. She had never killed anyone before, and you come here telling me to chop off a head?

Xiao Fan shook his head, disappointed, and said, “Forget it, I’ll do it!”

Black Butcher, with one arm broken, had already lost his ability to resist.

Xiao Fan’s bludgeon landed heavily on his forehead!

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

The scene was extremely bloody and violent. Ding Dong, on the side, couldn’t help but vomit, and even Lin Xianhuo felt a wave of nausea, her hand holding the blade trembling.

At this moment, Black Butcher finally breathed his last.

“Ding, Host killed an enemy above his Realm. Wind Thunder Art progress increased by 75%, reaching Mastery.”

“Ding, Host killed an enemy above his Realm. Reward: one third-tier self-selected Cultivation Technique.”

Martial Arts are divided into four stages: Entry, Proficiency, Mastery, and Perfection, which correspond to 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% respectively.

Xiao Fan was shocked. Killing a Black Butcher actually directly reached 75%, and most importantly, there was even this self-selected Cultivation Technique?

Killing enemies above one’s Realm had such benefits?

He hadn’t killed any these past years. Was it because he had killed mutated beasts before, and Black Butcher was human? Or was it because he was strong enough?

Forget it, now wasn’t the time to think about these things!

He bent down, took Black Butcher’s Storage Ring, and said, “Let’s go quickly, reinforcements are coming.”

After speaking, he pulled Lin Xianhuo’s small hand.

Lin Xianhuo didn’t feel any unusual emotions. They had kissed all night yesterday, so she was used to it. She then pulled Xiao Dingdong and walked towards the main gate.

After stepping over the people Xiao Fan had bludgeoned to death, they exited the main gate.

Lin Xianhuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you.”

Xiao Dingdong was even more excited, saying, “Big Brother, you’re amazing!”

Xiao Fan, however, sighed and shook his head, “It seems we celebrated too early.”

Sure enough, the next second, two figures slowly stepped out of the alley.

“Dare to chop off my son’s arm, I’ve never seen such an impressive person in Green Leaf City.” Huang Meng clapped his hands, his face full of brutality as he walked towards them.

Beside him was Huang Meng’s good brother, named Pang Hu.

Both of these individuals were at the Late Stage of the Little Grandmaster Realm.

One was at the Eighth Level, the other at the Ninth Level.

As their aura spread, Lin Xianhuo’s delicate body trembled, and she said, “What… what should we do?”

Before, she had killed a Fire Finch and mistakenly thought that killing enemies above her Realm was easy, but after facing Black Butcher just now, she realized how terribly wrong she was.

What nonsense about same-Realm mutated beasts being stronger than humans, it was simply a joke!

Black Butcher’s raw strength was definitely not as good as the Fire Finch! His talent and Martial Arts were even further from hers.

But when they actually fought, she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness. From beginning to end, she was suppressed and couldn’t raise her head. Her proud Cultivation Technique and powerful attributes couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes!

If it weren’t for Dog King, she might have already died, and even then, she wouldn’t have been able to leave any scars on Black Butcher’s body.

Now, in front of her were two opponents whose Realm was even higher than Black Butcher’s and whose killing experience might be even greater than his.

She despaired.

But as she felt the hand holding hers, steady as a mountain, she inexplicably felt relieved.

“Do you have another plan?”

Xiao Fan’s expression was indifferent. Although he considered himself strong, two fists are no match for four hands!

Moreover, these two in front of him were underworld bosses; they would definitely be ruthless!

What’s more, there might be reinforcements behind them. By then, things would truly be miserable!

He could only use that one move!

Xiao Fan said in a deep voice, “Wait a moment, find an opportunity to take this little girl and leave.”

After speaking, his Storage Ring flashed, and more than a dozen boxes of cancer medicine landed on the ground.

“Pick them up, what are you standing around for?” Xiao Fan coldly snorted.

Lin Xianhuo quickly picked them up and asked nervously, “What about you?”

“I’ll deal with both of them.”

“Are you kidding me? Two Late Stage Little Grandmasters! How will you fight them!?” Lin Xianhuo grew anxious.

“Naturally, by risking my life.” Xiao Fan exhaled deeply and said, “Inject your flames into my body.”

“What!? What are you doing!?” Lin Xianhuo’s eyes widened.

“Element Overlap.” Xiao Fan said indifferently.

“Element Overlap? Are you f***ing crazy!? You’ll die! Your body can’t handle it!”

Xiao Fan, however, was very calm and said faintly, “You talk too much. If you don’t inject flames into my body now, none of us will be able to leave today.”

“Don’t forget, I’m Dog King.”

“Would I sacrifice my life for two little girls?”

“Are you overestimating me?”

“Are you sure you can live!” Lin Xianhuo stared intently at Xiao Fan.

“Pinky promise.” Xiao Fan raised his hand.

“Okay! Pinky promise! You, Xiao Fan, must live!”

As her words fell, Lin Xianhuo hardened her heart and injected flames into Xiao Fan’s body.

At the same time.

Around Xiao Fan, wind and thunder roared!

Wind Thunder Art activated!

Element Overlap, also known as Element Conflict, is when several different elements merge, easily causing explosions and extremely turbulent power.

If Xiao Fan couldn’t suppress the conflict between the flames and the wind and thunder, he would instantly explode into a bloody mist.

But if he could suppress it, he would possess explosive power like dynamite.

At this moment.

“Bang!”

A loud sound.

Xiao Fan’s black shirt on his upper body instantly burst open, revealing his familiar face clearly.

But what shocked Lin Xianhuo even more were the dense scars on his body; it didn’t look like a human body at all.

How many injuries had he endured!?

At the same time, the power of the three elements completely merged.

Xiao Fan roared to the sky, and terrifying power suddenly erupted.

Pang Hu and Huang Meng’s pupils trembled violently.

“This guy must be a lunatic!?”

Xiao Fan took a step, his speed three times faster than his peak, carrying wind, thunder, and flames, instantly arriving before the two Late Stage Little Grandmaster experts.

He punched out with both fists.

The two retreated in horror. They weren’t unable to block this punch, but they were worried that Xiao Fan might explode the next second and kill them too!

“Run!”

Finally, Xiao Fan roared.
