Chapter 28: Chapter Twenty-Eight: Small Mountain Valley

"You little bastard, I'll fight you!"

Looking at the violent energy above, Mu She's eyes flashed with a hint of fear.

Afterwards, it was quickly filled with frenzy, he raised the great sword and chopped upwards.

Boom!

The energy lion, carrying the fire attribute's ferocity, directly devoured Mu She below.

Immediately after, a huge roar came; the shockwave from the lion's explosion shook the ground's bricks into dust, and together with the soil beneath, it sprayed outward at high speed.

Mu She, too, was flung like wreckage toward the distance, smashing into the central hall of the camp and causing it to collapse!

After the dust and mist cleared, Lin Feng retracted his Purple Cloud Wings and walked up to Mu She's side.

Seeing Mu She lying limp on the ground, blood continuously spurting from his mouth, his gaze filled with extreme hatred as he stared at himself, he softly said: "Your son Mu Li has already scouted the way for you below; go ahead in peace."

Cough... cough...

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the half-dead Mu She suddenly became agitated, as if cursing something.

However, Lin Feng had no interest in that; he swung his spear, the sharp tip easily piercing Mu She's skull, shattering it like a watermelon.

Losing his head, Mu She's body convulsed violently a few times, then gradually went limp.

After confirming his death, he skillfully removed the storage ring, then Lin Feng waved at Xiao Yixian above.

Looking down at the unharmed youth below, Xiao Yixian in the sky gently covered her rosy lips with her jade hand, her pretty face filled with shock.

After a moment, her beautiful eyes shone with various colors as she stared at the youth below.

She lightly stroked the Blue Hawk's feathers with her jade hand, then guided it to slowly circle down and land in the courtyard.

"I didn't expect you could actually kill Mu She; I had prepared to meet you and escape."

She glanced at the headless corpse far on the ground, Xiao Yixian watched as Lin Feng took a hopping step and steadied himself on the Blue Hawk's back, her pink lips parting as she spoke.

"Hehe, if not for the aid of elixirs, I might really have ended up as you said... cough cough."

Saying that, Lin Feng felt a pang of pain in his abdomen, unable to help feeling somewhat helpless.

His front abdomen had been wounded by a magic beast just a few days ago, and now Mu She had injured him again—when will it end?

"Are you alright?" Seeing this, Xiao Yixian hastily patted his back with her jade hand, asking worriedly.

Lin Feng waved his hand, looking at the devastated camp, and said: "It's fine; after a little treatment I'll be okay. Let's leave quickly—I just took a temporary strength-boosting elixir, and I'll soon enter a weak period."

Okay.

She replied softly, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes swept over the mercenaries sleeping on the ground.

With Mu She's death, these mercenaries no longer had a leader; when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Corps will inevitably be swallowed by other forces.

She let out a light sigh; with Mu She's death, all past grudges vanished like smoke. Her rosy lips slightly pursed, Xiao Yixian whispered: "It's also time to leave…"

Immediately she waved her jade hand, the Blue Hawk let out an eagle cry, then slowly circled and rose into the sky.

The Blue Hawk circled once in the sky, then swiftly spread its wings and sped forward.

After a moment, it disappeared into the blue sky...

Not long after the two left, the news of Mu She's death spread rapidly throughout Green Mountain Town.

Faced with this shocking news, everyone wore expressions of astonishment.

Especially when they learned that the one who killed Mu She was the youth who, together with Xiao Yixian, had obtained the treasure in the mountain cave.

The previous greed vanished without a trace.

After all, with such a gap in strength, they no longer had the courage to seize the treasure.

However, with Mu She's death, in the absence of a leader's command,

this once dominant force in Green Mountain Town was quickly swallowed clean by all sides.

After the Blue Hawk left Green Mountain Town, Xiao Yixian lowered her gaze to the bruised purple skin covered in ointment, gently pulled down her upper garment with her jade hand, and covered Lin Feng's wounded abdomen.

She casually tidied the hair blown loose by her ear, then looked at the youth lying weakly on the Blue Hawk's back due to the elixir's side effects.

She pondered for a moment, then asked: "Now that you've also taken your revenge, what do you plan to do next?"

"Next step? First find a place to break through to Fighter, raise your strength, then go out and have fun."

Feeling the cool sensation from the ointment on his abdomen, Lin Feng placed his hands behind his head and said lazily.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian's eyes brightened, and she said: "If you want to break through to Fighter, I happen to know a good place where the energy is extremely rich—surely suitable for your breakthrough."

Hearing her words, Lin Feng's heart stirred; he quickly guessed the place and laughed: "Then I'll also take a look at what it is."

Seeing Lin Feng agree, Xiao Yixian immediately commanded the Blue Hawk to go to a place with abundant energy.

As for this place, Lin Feng was not unfamiliar; it was exactly the basin where, when he first followed the herb-gathering team, medicinal herbs grew everywhere.

But this time, under Xiao Yixian's guidance, they flew directly from high altitude into the depths of the basin.

As they slowly descended into the basin's depths, the rich energy filling the small valley made Lin Feng take a deep breath; instantly, his spirit was refreshed.

"How is it? Is this place good? This small mountain valley is completely isolated from the outside, and the sky is covered with thick fog, making it extremely concealed; if not for a occasional light rain that accidentally wandered in, I probably wouldn't have discovered this strange place."

Seeing Lin Feng's appreciative expression, Xiao Yixian let out a slightly proud, charming laugh.

"It's indeed great; training here, I believe I'll be able to break through to the Fighter realm in just a few months."

Lin Feng nodded; such an excellent cultivation spot is not something you can just run into.

His gaze swept slowly over the valley filled with faint energy mist; various precious medicinal herbs grew in the valley.

Waves of medicinal fragrance mingled with the mist, making people feel refreshed and delighted.

Seeing Lin Feng say that, Xiao Yixian smiled slightly, whistled a bamboo flute for the Blue Hawk, and let it fly freely.

Then she led Lin Feng on foot to a corner of the small mountain valley.

She pointed with her slender finger to a thatched hut there, smiling: "This is the hut I built earlier; we'll stay here for the time being."

"Hehe, although it's a thatched hut, having a beautiful woman as a roommate makes life quite pleasant."

His gaze swept over the grass hut; Lin Feng nodded, tilted his head to look at Xiao Yixian's jade‑smooth profile, and couldn't help but smile and tease.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave him a playful, annoyed glance.

She then waved her little fists, gave a light humph, and said, "You'd better not think I'm weak and dare to mess with me."
