The youth only gave him a chilling smile.
"Sorry.
Because of you… the Serpent Nest Mercenary Group will cease to exist today."
"And of course—
you will die before they do."
A beautiful, multicolored flame blossomed on the boy's palm and crawled over Lin Feng's body.
A scream tore through the entire town.
She hesitated for a moment.
"According to what I know, that super genius Xiao Yan is only thirteen this year… Would someone his age really come to Qingshan Town to look for women?
Not to mention, he is engaged to Nalan Yanran, the most dazzling girl in the Empire."
Seeing her attitude shift, Yao Boss puffed up proudly.
"Hehe, of course the super genius Xiao Yan everyone in the Jia Ma Empire is talking about! Young Master Xiao Yan is very fond of Xiao Yixian.
If you harm her, you'll be in big trouble."
Huo Lan's face finally changed.
It was only now she realized....
In this huge town, not a single person could protect her.
Yet his name alone… might be enough to make even these people hesitate.
"What the hell are you two mumbling about? Old One, Old Two....grab her!"
Yao Boss's panic had startled the young leader for a second, but after a brief pause, he stared at the flustered Xiao Yixian, whose face was now red and anxious.
His eyes shone with even greater lust, and he didn't care in the slightest who this "Xiao Yan" was.
"Yes, Young Leader!"
The two big men grinned wickedly and walked toward Xiao Yixian.
"Wait."
Right before they could take two steps, a calm female voice rang out.
The two men instantly stopped.
Though the speaker wasn't part of the Serpent Nest Mercenaries, her identity was far above theirs....
She was Huo Lan, granddaughter of the Hao Family's patriarch and a rare first-grade alchemist.
And the Hao Family's patriarch was a genuine Dou Wang.....the strongest person in Black Rock City.
Even their Mercenary Captain had to be polite to her.
"Cousin Huo Lan, what now?"
The young leader's expression showed clear irritation. His lust made him impatient.
Ignoring him, Huo Lan walked toward Xiao Yixian and the boss, her earlier arrogance replaced by surprising politeness.
"Boss… which Xiao Yan are you talking about exactly?"
A terrified scream tore through the air as the arrogant young vice-captain of the Serpent Nest Mercenary Group was instantly swallowed by the multicolored flames.
Moments ago he was untouchable, feared by everyone in Qingshan Town
....yet now his pride burned away with his flesh.
Under the blazing heat of the rainbow fire, his shrieks lasted only a few seconds before abruptly fading.
Half a minute later, Xiao Yan flicked his wrist, and with a dull bang, the charred figure collapsed into black powder, scattering across the ground before the stunned crowd.
The black-clad youth stood motionless, calm and indifferent. Everyone who looked at him felt a chill pierce through their bones.
In less than two minutes, two Dou Shi experts and a seven-star Dou Zhe had been effortlessly slain.....especially that horrifying final death, enough to freeze anyone's spine.
"You… w-who are you!?"
Hao Lan watched her cousin burned to ashes right before her eyes. Her legs trembled uncontrollably.
There wasn't a trace of sympathy in her heart...only terror toward the boy wielding the terrifying flame.
To still be standing took every ounce of her willpower.
For all she knew, she could be next.
Xiao Yan finally smiled.
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm the person you've all been talking about… Xiao Yan."
The name struck Hao Lan like lightning. Her body gave out and she collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the young boy's impossibly youthful face.
At last, her chaotic mind connected the figure before her with the legendary genius.
"You… you're that super prodigy from Wu Tan City… the strongest alchemist talent in the history of the Jia Ma Empire… Xiao Yan?"
After a long silence, she forced herself up and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Xiao Yan… you must have seen what happened.
My cousin deserved his fate. I beg the Lord to show mercy, as I withdrew in time.
When I return home, the Hao Family will personally bring gifts and apologies to the young lady he offended."
