Chapter 25 Hunter and Prey

The autumn wind is bleak and the forest is dyed with colors.

Under the golden sunlight, the entire dense forest in the mountains seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze.

Yao Yan walked among them with Ling'er, his eyes moving from time to time with the dead leaves blown down by the autumn wind. For a moment, he couldn't help but fall into memories. It seemed that it had been almost a year since he came to Shennong Mountains. Ever since he became a disciple of Hunxuzi, time seemed to have pressed the shortcut key.

More than three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

It really proves the saying: Practice makes one forget the time.

"Susu~"

The slightly cool autumn wind blew by, and the dead leaves in the forest moved with it, as if playing a solemn song.

Yao Yan stopped and withdrew his gaze from the surrounding scenery. He calmly looked at the few people who were blocking the way in front of him. He was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there was really someone in Shennong City who dared to take advantage of him. Did the name of the Yao Clan no longer have any deterrent effect?

That is one of the most powerful ethnic groups in the Douqi Continent.

"Boo-boo"

Ling'er opened her eyes wide with vigilance and scanned the person who came. She keenly sensed the person's ill intentions. Her emerald green eyes turned smartly, and then she jumped off Yao Yan's body nimbly. After a few leaps, she jumped onto a tree trunk nearby under Yao Yan's gaze.

slip away~
When Yao Yan saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched.

This little guy really treated him as a breeder. He was lazy and gluttonous, and would run away when something happened. It was really a waste of time to raise him for so many days.

Fortunately, he didn't expect Ling'er to help him with anything.

Yao Yan looked at the six people who were blocking the road and asked politely, "What do you want to do?"

"Little brother, are you from the Medicine Clan?"

Upon hearing this, the leader grinned, bowed and asked.

Yao Yan nodded and waited for the other party to continue.

The leader took a deep breath, his face straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "The six of us brothers saw that you went to Shennong Mountain alone, and we were worried that you would be in danger in Shennong Mountain, so we came here to help you. I wonder if you need mercenaries. The six of us brothers are all good at Douling, and we can handle any Douwang together!"

That’s a good excuse… Yao Yan said he had learned it, and responded politely, “No, thank you.”

"... Could it be that the little brother has a guard? If so, it would be too much trouble for the six of us brothers."

The leader's expression froze, his smile faded, and he spoke slowly.

"you guess?"

Yao Yan did not answer but asked instead.

This slightly playful remark made the scene quiet instantly, and the leader could not continue acting anymore. He had organized his brothers to intercept and kill, and he was putting on such a show to test the situation. Who would have thought that Yao Yan was so naughty? It was precisely because of Yao Yan's calmness that they did not dare to move for a while.

"If you all have nothing to do, I'll leave."

Yao Yan said this softly and was about to leave.

"Squeak~"

The soles of their feet stepped on the dry leaves, making continuous cracking sounds, and each step stepped on the hearts of the six people. An invisible pressure made the six people's breathing stop.

at last.

The tallest man among the six couldn't help it. A fierce look in his eyes revealed him. He said coldly, "This kid has seen through everything, why is he still pretending! If he really has a backer, do you think he will let us go after he leaves this time?!"

"You're right. This guy was bluffing. I almost got fooled by him."

The leader smiled grimly and was the first to burst out with a powerful fighting spirit. The aura belonging to the peak of the nine-star fighting spirit instantly raged, and the surging power surged in his body, calming his originally uneasy mood instantly. At the same time, he launched an attack on Yao Yan, and a fist wrapped in khaki fighting spirit smashed heavily towards Yao Yan's head.

He did not hold back in this attack, and burst out with all his strength, his speed and power were stimulated to the extreme, which could be called his best punch.

The scene of Yao Yan being shot in the head even appeared in his mind.

"boom!"

Soon, a punch came down, and the huge force directly caused the surrounding air to explode, forming an air wave, causing smoke and dust to billow and dead leaves to fly all around.

The touch was wrong... The leader was shocked. He felt that he had not hit his head, but an extremely solid rock. As the smoke and dust around him quickly dissipated, a beautiful and a little too beautiful face came into view, as well as the other party's ink-black eyes.

"This……"

At the same time, the others were also shocked by Yao Yan. He caught the leader's violent attack with one hand without even moving his body.

Something is wrong!
The leader instantly felt that Yao Yan was unusual and weird. Before he could react, an irresistible force surged from his arm, pulling him towards Yao Yan. At the same time, the other party punched him fiercely in the heart. There was no fluctuation of fighting spirit, and it seemed to be just an ordinary punch.

But this ordinary punch made his whole body tense, and he instinctively mobilized all the fighting spirit in his body to gather towards his heart.

"Boom!"

With a muffled groan and a cracking sound, the leader's gathered fighting spirit was directly shattered by a punch, his chest instantly sunken, his clothes on his back tore, and a circle of air waves spread out, and everything in front of the leader's eyes instantly turned black. Yao Yan casually threw the other's body on the ground beside him, glanced at the hat that fell on the ground, picked it up slowly, put it on his head, covering up his face that was prone to causing trouble, as if he treated the rest of the people as air, and waved to Ling'er: "Let's go."

"Hey?"

Ling'er tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand why it happened so quickly. In the past, when she encountered bad guys who wanted to kill her, she would play with them for a long time. Why did Yao Yan stop playing after just a while?

Since she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it and jumped down. After a few jumps, she was back on Yao Yan's shoulder.

She waved her fox tail leisurely, and her emerald green eyes looked curiously at the remaining five people who stood stiffly in place, not daring to move, even holding their breath, allowing Yao Yan to walk past them, like five wooden men, which looked extremely interesting.

When walking past a few people, Yao Yan suddenly thought of something, paused, and said, "Cut off one arm for each of them. There is always a price to pay for robbing and killing others."

The words fell.

The young man with a feminine temperament looked fierce, raised the weapon in his hand decisively, cut off his left arm, and endured the severe pain, thanking Yao Yan: "Thank you for sparing my life!"

Seeing this scene, the other four people gritted their teeth, raised their weapons and chopped off their left arms.

"Thank you, sir, for sparing me!"

Yao Yan looked at this scene and suddenly asked: "If I want my right arm, what will you do?"

This joke is obviously not funny at all.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the five men with broken arms instantly fell, and they had no idea how to answer this question.

The young man with a feminine temperament hesitated for a moment, then broke the silence and said bitterly, "Nothing else, just death."

He might be able to survive with difficulty if he lost a left arm, but if both arms were gone, then he would naturally be doomed in a place like Shennong City. People like them had relied on their strength to bully others in the past and had made many enemies. Now that their arms were disabled, those people would definitely come around and bite them.

"Then I wish you good luck~"

Yao Yan chuckled, glanced meaningfully at the depths of the dense forest, and then walked away with Ling'er.

The five people watched Yao Yan go away until they could no longer see him. Then they looked at each other who had survived the disaster. They saw the relief in each other's eyes. It was obvious that they had not expected that they would survive in this way.

The feminine man smiled bitterly and said, "He doesn't take us seriously at all."

"Didn't they say he only has the strength of a fighting master? Is he a fighting master?!"

The burly man looked at the leader who was killed by a punch and couldn't help but speak.

Everyone had a grim look on their faces. It was obvious that they had not expected the intelligence to be so wrong.

"It looks like you failed."

At this moment, a sinister voice sounded in everyone's ears, and a thin man with sinister eyes walked out slowly from the dense forest in the distance. Behind him, there were six men in similar clothes, staring at them greedily.

The man with a feminine temperament looked at the newcomer, his expression changed, and then he thought of something and said, "Vulture? You are targeting him too!"

Vulture did not chase Yao Yan, but slowly walked to the leader's body and took the ring from him. While looking at the ring, he shook his head and sighed: "There are many people eyeing this fat sheep, but few dare to take action. You are the fastest group to take action, but your end is a bit miserable... It seems that this fat sheep is not easy to eat."

After saying that, he played with the ring while keeping his eyes on the group of people with broken arms.

All of them were in the late Dou Ling stage and had been wandering in the Shennong Mountains for many years. There was no shortage of good things in their storage rings, especially since they were in extremely bad shape at the moment. How could they refuse such things that were delivered to their doorstep for free?

Being a mercenary is an essential skill to bully the weak and fear the strong.

"It's up to you!"

The burly man said coldly with a fierce look in his eyes, and then the fighting spirit in his body surged wildly. The fire-attributed fighting spirit surged wildly, like a ball of flame burning hotly.

The man with a feminine temperament stopped the burly man who was about to attack, and said in a deep voice: "Our current condition is indeed not good, but it is not easy for you to kill us. Be careful not to fight to the death and let others take advantage of us!"

"That's right, so I found another group of helpers."

The vulture smiled and clapped his hands.

Soon, a group of people slowly walked out behind him. Their number was even greater than that of the vultures. The two groups quietly surrounded the Broken Arm group, intending to hunt them down directly.

The Broken Arm gang will naturally not sit still and wait for death.

As brilliant fighting spirits erupted one after another, the three parties started fighting directly against each other.

now.

On a tree trunk not far away, Yao Yan was watching the battle. With his current spiritual power, how could he not notice that someone was following him? Rather than alerting the enemy, he would rather kill them all at once, and the group of people with broken arms were the bait he deliberately threw.

Look, a lot of people have taken the bait.

"A real fighting skill battle is indeed gorgeous, much better than fighting qi turning into a horse."

Yao Yan ate the snacks he bought from Shennong City, made comments in a low voice, and waited for the battle to end.
