I have seen dragons

Chapter 48 Leave me alone
Boom boom boom boom——

In the blink of an eye, another passionate exchange ensued.

After the red light faded, Huang Dahu's shattered body lay on the ground, face up, eyes vacant, his once majestic tiger face now filled with a look of melancholy.

It had a large hole in its chest, wounds all over its limbs, and a pool of blood spread out beneath it, slowly covering the ground.

"In the end, I still can't do it..." it murmured, "I still can't avenge you."

"You've committed arson, murder, and looting in human cities, including several massacres of entire families. You shouldn't have any complaints about dying in the city, right? You're just paying the price for the people you've killed." Zhao Xing'er put away the copper staff and looked at it coldly. "If you lost, you have to accept it."

"Ah—" Huang Dahu wailed in pain, "The glory of our Old Bald Top Gully Tiger Demons could not be carried forward in my hands in the end. I will never see the family at its peak. I am so unwilling!"

With that roar, the divine essence gradually faded from its eyes.

Huang Dahu, this notorious underworld figure, was charred black, his tendons severed, his body covered in wounds, and his eyes filled with hatred. He died with a final, unwilling howl...

His death was incredibly peaceful.

……

Just as Zhao Xing'er was deciding the outcome with a single blow, Yue Wen wasn't idle either.

He had just pushed Zhao Xing'er out when the roe deer brothers arrived in pursuit. The two roe deer, their bloodshot eyes blazing, charged forward recklessly, their bodies as hard as steel and their strength terrifying.

As their enemy, we certainly feel immense pressure.

Yue Wen used the Swimming Dragon Scattered Hand technique to maneuver around for a few steps. Seeing that he was being attacked from both sides and it was not easy to dodge and move, he once again shot out a shadow talisman.

As long as the roe deer dodge the shadow runes, he can instantly flash behind them and attack again.

To his surprise, the roe deer didn't dodge; instead, it raised its arm to block, allowing the shadow talisman to strike its left arm and embed itself there with a clang. It turned out that during the battle, it had already discerned that the shadow talisman was Yue Wen's anchor point for teleportation.

"Go!" it shouted. "He can't teleport anymore, use that move!"

The two roe deer leaped up, spun around like drills, and crashed into Yue Wen with a bang!

It was the unique skill of the Roe Deer Brothers: the Golden Head Hammer!
This is their most powerful attack, but because it comes at a great cost and cannot be reversed once used, it is rarely used.

Faced with formidable enemies like Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er, they finally stopped holding back. The larger roe deer sacrificed its own injury to buy the smaller roe deer the opportunity to strike!

Faced with the headbutt that spun around like a tornado, Yue Wen's eyes also revealed a trace of shock. He did not expect that these two injured roe deer could still unleash such a powerful attack.

Boom——

The golden hammer slammed into the ground in the blink of an eye, kicking up a towering column of dust.

"Hehehe." The roe deer laughed smugly, "Foolish human, you'll die this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, a crescent-shaped arc of light struck from the side.

It turned out that Zhao Xing'er, who had just killed the tiger demon with a stick, heard the commotion and saw the roe deer grinning at the dust pillar. She assumed that Yue Wen had been killed by them, so she frowned again and the red light rose once more.

"Boss!" she shouted angrily as she flew over, her bronze staff sweeping across like the moon!

When the roe deer saw that Huang Dahu couldn't even last a moment, it was immediately shocked and tried its best to block the blow.

But this attack was stopped by a shout from the front.

A sword light flashed overhead and landed on the ground. At the same time, Yue Wen shouted, "Let me handle this!"

Zhao Xing'er was slightly taken aback and stopped in her tracks.

The roe deer's attention was focused on Zhao Xing'er's approach, so much so that it didn't notice a silver light descending high above its head! It had unknowingly launched a feint attack, a diversionary tactic.

puff-

The sword technique pierced through the heavens in an instant!
Yue Wen descended from the sky unharmed, landing in front of it.

"How is this possible..." The roe deer clutched the shadow talisman on its arm, "I clearly..."

Yue Wen then revealed another shadow talisman, saying, "It didn't say there was only one."

The reason he initially used only one shadow talisman was because it was his first real battle, and he didn't want to use multiple shadow talismans, in case he didn't perform them well and caused himself to split up again.

The scene in the demonstration where the little black figures split into five groups still terrified him.

Only after the first shadow talisman was controlled by the roe deer through self-harm did he throw the second shadow talisman into the sky, easily dodging the roe deer's headbutt.

Using a supernatural ability like the Shadow Strike Technique to deal with the Roe Deer Brothers is indeed a bit overkill.

Purely for fun.

With a thud, the roe deer also lost its breath completely, its body falling backward.

Yue Wen stepped forward, withdrew his shadow talisman, and turned to look. The smoke and dust had just dissipated, revealing the two roe deer over there.

Its head and upper body were completely embedded in the rocky ground, leaving only its two legs kicking wildly upside down, and its short arms trying to pull itself out.

This is the downside of the Golden Hammer; once you've used it, it's easy to get yourself into a state from which you can't extricate yourself.

It was still muttering something, and a muffled voice came from below, "Big brother, I must have killed this kid. Come and pull me out. Oh, you probably don't have time. You have to go and gang up on that woman with Huang Dahu! After I pull my head out myself, the three of us will deal with her together. We won't stop until we've shoved her head into the ground... Hey!"

With a snap, it used all its strength to finally pull its upper body out.

Then, when she looked up, she saw Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er standing to one side, both of their bright eyes fixed on her with great interest.

Huang Dahu and his elder brother were lying on the ground to one side, clearly beyond saving.

For a moment, grief, confusion, shock... all sorts of complex emotions mingled within Erpao's smooth cerebral cortex, causing it to slightly malfunction.

"Whose head do you want to shove into the ground?" Zhao Xing'er asked with a sneer. "Of course, it's my own," Er Pao replied with a sob in his voice, turning to try and crawl back into the pit he had just been in.

It was dark in the pit, but even if you couldn't see anything, it was still better than looking up and seeing two great demons.

"Give me your life!" Zhao Xing'er immediately sprang to her feet, swinging her staff to strike.

"Xing'er, calm down!" Yue Wen grabbed her around the waist and pulled her aside, ignoring her kicking. "I'll handle this roe deer demon."

"Why?" Zhao Xing'er asked, puzzled.

Since you've already killed Huang Dahu and almost killed the roe deer just now, if I don't act quickly, I won't get a single talisman after all this time.

Do I have a hobby of exorcising evil spirits?

However, he certainly couldn't say it directly about stealing kills. Yue Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Weren't you injured just now? Don't aggravate your wound."

When Zhao Xing'er was fighting Huang Dahu, she was indeed hit hard by that punch. Even with the defense and repair provided by the red light of the martial spirit, her blood and energy were not as vigorous as before.

“But…” Zhao Xing’er said, “You’re injured too.”

Yue Wen was hit just now, and you can see that he is a bit weak.

"I'm fine, just listen to me." Yue Wen patted her shoulder, turned and walked forward, leaving her with his back. Sensing that she still wanted to help, he added, "If you help me, I'll deduct your salary too."

Zhao Xing'er frowned, and the target of the copper staff in her hand instantly shifted from Er Pao to the back of Yue Wen's head, rubbing and turning it as if she was hesitating whether to make a move.

While they were talking, the two roe deer had already run away.

It was said that Yue Wen and Zhao Xing'er were injured, but actually the two roe deer were more seriously injured. It was hit by Zhao Xing'er's hammer, Yue Wen's sword, and then hit on the head by its own hammer, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

Knowing that staying here would surely mean certain death at the hands of these two terrifying humans, it took advantage of their conversation to turn around and tiptoe away. After a few steps, it began to run at full speed!
If that woman couldn't catch up with him before, she definitely won't be able to this time either, right?

That's what it was thinking.

But just as it was about to plunge into the dense forest ahead, it suddenly discovered a curved, blade-like talisman nailed to the trunk of a tree.

Shadow symbol.

Erpao was startled; this wasn't...

Immediately, a purplish-black shadow flashed, and Yue Wen's figure instantly appeared at the location of the shadow talisman.

"Where do you think you're going!" he shouted, and his flying sword shot out.

"Roar—" Erpao let out a roar and raised the hammer in its hand again. At this critical moment of life and death, it also unleashed all its strength.

I've honed my physical body in the wasteland for so long, experiencing countless battles, that my entire body is harder than steel.

Can you stop me?
laugh.

A flash of silver light pierced through the throat of the two roe deer in an instant!
Yue Wen calmly retracted his two fingers, raised his wrist, and a stream of light returned, transforming into a bracelet that wrapped around him again. A white spiritual aura emanated from the end of the sword.

The legendary killer roe deer brothers have come to an end.

The moment the two roe deer fell to the ground, a wisp of golden smoke entered their bodies, and the two brothers together brought Yue Wen an income of eighty-two evil-suppressing coins!

Individually speaking, it was indeed the most powerful evil spirit he had ever slain.

All I can say is that Huang Dahu's intention in bringing men to attack and kill me was malicious, but he executed the mission well.

Unfortunately, Black Tiger still escaped. However, even if it cultivates for several more decades, it won't amount to much, so there's no need to worry about it coming back for revenge.

Yue Wen looked at Zhao Xing'er and reminded her, "If the company people ask later, don't mention the details of this battle. Just treat it as a few ordinary evil spirits. The Tiger Head Gang's revenge should be over. Bringing up the fact that they infiltrated will only affect the live stream... and delay our money-making."

"Okay." Zhao Xing'er nodded, then asked, "Why do I feel like you've gotten stronger again?"

It wasn't just Huang Dahu, as an enemy, who felt this way; Zhao Xing'er, as a comrade, felt it very strongly as well.

A few days ago, when Yue Wen fought several tiger demons in the basement, his combat strength was not as strong as it is now, nor did he possess this teleportation ability.

The current Yue Wen felt very unfamiliar to her.

"Heh." Yue Wen smiled faintly, "After yesterday's arena match, I made a small breakthrough."

"Huh?" Zhao Xing'er asked in surprise.

In fact, this is a common saying among cultivators who have reached the Harmony Realm.

The reason why these immortal sects generally send their disciples out for training when they reach the third realm is because the cultivation of the Integration Realm is a process of integrating essence, energy, and spirit, and the way to accelerate the integration of essence, energy, and spirit is through combat.

After several fierce battles during this period, Yue Wen felt that his energy and spirit were completely in harmony and there was no flaw left.

This state is generally referred to as the Great Perfection of Harmony.

That's one way to put it, but in reality, it's never that simple. The harmony of spirit and energy needs to be honed and explored through repeated battles. Sometimes, the process of reaching perfection is like a cut in some software; you seem to be getting closer and closer, but there's always a tiny gap that keeps getting smaller and smaller, requiring a long period of understanding.

At least Zhao Xing'er herself had been looking forward to the third realm for several months and had recently experienced many battles, but the progress she had made was not obvious.

Seeing Yue Wen casually resolve the matter after a few fights, she found it hard to believe.

What's going on?

So easily you can break through? Are you a celestial being or am I a celestial being?

Does that mean... I'm dumber than my boss?
impossible.

Absolutely impossible!
　Good morning!
