Insufficient balance

  "I doubt it," Snake Respecter smiled calmly, "that Yin Xu still has some trump cards that haven't been played. You see, from start to finish, he only made a move once. If I'm not mistaken, he probably wants to rely on those three Dou Zhe under him to exhaust Long Ao Tian's old capital, and then he'll play his trump card. Don't believe me? Just watch."

  Li Yi nodded slightly, he still believed a few words of this strange old man, besides, at this moment, it was meaningless to analyze more, the current situation was indeed not suitable for taking action, even if they wanted to take advantage, it wasn't the right time.

  Thinking of this, Li Yi's gaze fell back onto the road once again.

  "Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..."

  Everyone in the arena was fighting silently, and only three mercenaries were left beside Yin Xu. Two of them were tightly entwined by two fighters from the Long family, while the last mercenary guarding Yin Xu, despite being covered in wounds, suddenly chopped down one of the Long family's personal guards amidst a loud roar.

  At this moment, although more than half of the people on Yin Xu's side had been killed or injured, Long Ao Tian's side was not doing well either. Those ten or so guards were now down to just three or four, but they were all tightly entangled with the last mercenary, and no one could spare a hand to deal with Yin Xu.

  But in this case, Yin Xu still didn't draw his sword. His eyes remained fixed on Long Ao Tian in front of him. He didn't know why, but Long Ao Tian's lazy appearance always made him feel a chill run down his spine.

  But in this situation, it's not the time to hesitate anymore. The mercenaries who came with Yin Xu were all his subordinates in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and these three remaining fighters were people he had always valued. If even these three were to die here, then even if he managed to bring back that volume of Crimson Phoenix Middle-Grade Fighting Techniques, he would likely suffer a huge loss of power within the group.

  After all, Yin Xu and his son were the leaders of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps, but the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps was not something that could be absolutely controlled by just the two of them.

  "It's all over!"

  The thought flashed through Yin Xu's mind, and he let out a cold laugh. The surgical wolf-tooth blade suddenly chopped down three times in quick succession, and the sound of "whooshing" was heard three times. Two of Longjia's personal guards fell to the ground with a pained cry, covered in blood. The remaining two lost their helpers and immediately began to retreat in disarray.

  After chopping it off, Yin Xu let out a cold laugh and with a casual slap of his hand, a jet-black rod appeared in his hand.

  The originally lazy Long Aotian was shocked when he saw the stick, and shouted loudly: "Yinhuo stick!? Not good! That bastard still has a trick up his sleeve! Kill him for me!"

  The last person behind Long Ao Tian's body, like a phantom, rushed towards Yin Xu, but before he could rush to Yin Xu's side, a burst of smoke flowers emerged from the Yin Fire Stick in Yin Xu's hand and violently shot towards the sky, forming a blood-colored tooth mark in mid-air.

  Long Ao Tian's face suddenly turned icy cold.

  "Hmm——"

  The last person from the Long family to make a move was about to approach Yin Xu when a black shadow suddenly darted out from one side, just in time to block his fatal blow. The shockwave caused the intense fighting on the scene to become somewhat awkward.

  A figure slowly descended to the ground, revealing an aged face with a complexion that carried a hint of coldness: "Doushi strong? I wonder which member of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps has arrived?"

  The black shadow that suddenly appeared took a step to the side, blocking Yin Xu's path. This allowed people to see clearly a middle-aged man with a face full of gloom. His eyes fell on the elder of the Long family, and he suddenly sneered, saying: "Old Fan, you're not young anymore, yet you still accompany others in this business of robbing people on the road. Aren't you afraid that one day you'll strain your back and won't be able to crawl back?"

  The old man known as Fan the Ghost said calmly, "So it's Vice Captain Fang Feng? How did you end up like this, needing to be ordered to protect a junior? Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

  That man sneered with a sinister smile: "Fan Nan, others may fear you, but I don't... Come on, come on, since you want to mess with our Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps, today I won't be polite either!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Fang Feng's aura suddenly surged, and a thin layer of Dou Qi enveloped his body, forming a cyan-blue gauze-like garment. This was the mark of entering the rank of Dou Shi.

  Fan Nan also saw this scene, and he snorted, a yellowish-brown silk robe appeared on his body. He stared at Fang Feng with a sneer, saying: "Just a Crystal Master, dare to be arrogant in front of me? You little kid! Today I'll let you know what it means to have someone above the sky and someone outside the person!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce flame of Dou Qi suddenly ignited in Fan Nan's hand, wrapping around the blade in his hand. Then, his figure rushed towards Fang Feng.

  Fang Feng's hands shook in unison, a ball of cyan blue aura shot out like a streak of light towards the oncoming Fan Nan, while his mouth growled: "Young Master, you go first! As long as we reach Wolf Tooth Town, even if the Dragon Family sends all their men, we won't be afraid!"

  As soon as the words fell, Fan Nan's sword had already arrived in front of him, and instantly the auras of the two sides collided, producing a deafening crash!

  Yin Xu seemed to have expected that Long Ao Tian would bring a Dou Shi strongman, so he wasn't too surprised by this scene. Instead, he let out a low shout: "In that case, I'll leave things here to Uncle Fang!"

  Having said that, his figure suddenly darted away and was already heading westward.

  Behind him, the blade in Fan Nan's hand had already burst out with a violent surge of Dou Qi, instantly unleashing countless slashes. Meanwhile, Fang Feng, who was facing him, didn't retreat in the slightest. His body transformed into a cyan-colored shadow that fiercely charged forward.

  At this time, all the people of the Long family had been surrounded by the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, and at this moment, not a single person could stop Yin Xu from leaving.

  Long Ao Tian glanced at the scene in front of him, his face changed color, and he suddenly rushed towards the direction where Yin Xu had left.

  "Come on, come on, the longer the better, I'm really looking forward to it!"

  Watching the two leave, Li Yi let out a cold laugh and no longer looked at the cruel fight in the arena. He turned his body and followed Yin Xu and Long Ao Tian's direction of departure.

  Fortunately, although the two were fighters, they both deliberately controlled their speed. Li Yi was just hanging far behind, and although he lost sight of the two several times, Li Yi relied on his keen senses to discover where they were going and quickly followed them.

  Li Yi's figure quickly darted through the jungle for over ten minutes, then suddenly his body rapidly came to a stop and slowly hid behind a large tree.

  Not far ahead, however, was a clearing in the dense forest, where Yin Xue and Long Ao Tian landed one after another.

  Only to see Yin Xu slowly turn his head, glance at Long Ao Tian and coldly say: "Young Master Long, could it be that you really think you're my opponent? You're getting closer and closer, provoking me, solve you first before going back won't be late! Don't forget, Ben Shao is a Seven Crystal Fighter, while in front of me, you are nothing!"

  Long Ao Tian said calmly, "I naturally know that you, Vice Captain Yin, are formidable. However, I think it won't be long before your people are killed off. Fang Feng is also a Dou Shi, but only a first-class one, whereas Fan Zhang Lao is a third-class Dou Shi! As for who's stronger or weaker, you're more aware of that than I am! So, I don't need to do anything; as long as I can hold up your pace, Vice Captain Yin, someone will come and take your life soon enough!"

  "You might as well give it a try!" Yin Xue sneered, and a faint aura of battle energy floated on the surface of his body. On his chest, there was a vague image of a wolf's head howling.

  Blood Wolf Decision, a high-level technique of the Xuanwu Sect. After mastering it, one's speed is like that of a wolf, with unmatched ferocity!

  Facing Yin Xu's movement, Long Ao Tian's reaction was also extremely fast. He coldly smiled and with a casual wave of his hand, a faint aura appeared on the surface of his body, at the center of his palm, as if a stream of water was flowing.

  Liuyun Fa, Zhuque Lower Stage Cultivation Method, Water System. After completion, the aura is like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, surging endlessly, flowing continuously.

  It's no wonder that Long Ao Tian dared to pursue Yin Xu alone, although he was only a first-class fighter, but with his superior skills, he could make up for the difference in level to some extent.

  Seeing Long Ao Tian's movement, Yin Xu only gave a cold smile. His figure flashed and he was already in front of Long Ao Tian, his fingers slightly curved into claws.

  "Blood Wolf Claw!"

  Long Ao Tian grunted, although he tried his best to dodge, but was still caught by Yin Xu's grab and swung from his left arm, instantly a stream of fresh blood spurted out.

  Upon witnessing this scene, Yin Xu sneered repeatedly: "Long Ao Tian, it seems that today I will not only be able to kill you, but also force you to reveal the secret of your family's Flowing Clouds Technique before you die. It doesn't seem difficult at all!"

  Long Ao Tian snorted and said, "If you have the ability, come try it out!"

  As they spoke, Long Aotian's right hand suddenly turned, and a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword followed his swing, and a chill spread out from the blade, almost freezing the surrounding air.

  "Green Cloud Ice Wind Sword!"

  Yin Xu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Zhu Que's Low-Rank Fighting Technique!"

  At this time, he also had a few regrets and Long Ao Tian made his move here. However, it was too late for regret now. He gritted his teeth and drew out the Wolf Tooth Blade from his waist, with blood-red aura churning on his body.

  "Wolf's Tooth Slash!"

  "Clang——" The long sword and wolf-tooth blade collided, a burst of sparks erupted in the air, the bloody aura and cold air tore at each other, until finally bursting open with a loud explosion!

  "This is the best opportunity!" Along with Snake's loud voice, Li Yi's figure had quickly flashed over to the two people in a merged state.
