BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

"Blood Fury Mad Lion!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan's blood was boiling, every drop of his blood energy surging wildly. Even though he hadn't activated the full power of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, just absorbing a small portion of it had significantly enhanced his physical strength.

With his current physical strength, using the Mad Lion Chant made him comparable to an ordinary Rank 3 magical beast!

With a thunderous boom, blood-red energy erupted from his entire body.

"What kind of Dou Technique is this?!" Mu She and all the mercenaries stared at Xiao Yan in stunned disbelief.

Thanks to the body-tempering abilities of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Yan, who had originally only cultivated the Mad Lion Chant to a major level of mastery, found his body further refined and his blood energy enhanced by the flame. As a result, he had now advanced the Mad Lion Chant to the pinnacle of perfection!

His body became incredibly muscular, instantly transforming into a hulking man over two meters tall.

'Being a giant feels pretty good.' Xiao Yan's perspective had completely changed.

He swept his hands across the crowd of mercenaries like an autumn breeze sweeping away fallen leaves. Every mercenary touched by Xiao Yan's large hands had their bones shattered and organs ruptured.

Not a single mercenary could withstand even a casual sweep from him.

Clang, clang, clang! Weapons struck Xiao Yan's body, producing crisp, metallic clangs as if striking iron. Forget about injuring him, they couldn't even leave a scratch on his skin.

Shrieks of agony filled the air as the hundred mercenaries seemed as weak as ants before him.

Even a Dou Grandmaster like Xiao Zhan wouldn't dare to charge into a crowd and slaughter opponents while facing an onslaught from a hundred enemies. After all, a Dou Grandmaster was still human and could be injured by blades.

Unless one possessed a physique like Xiao Yan's and the protection of the Mad Lion Chant, it was simply impossible.

"This... this... this is too powerful! The Wolf Head Mercenary Company and Thousand Medicine House are finished!" Some spectators watching the massacre from a distance turned deathly pale with fear.

It was too brutal!

Xiao Yan was like a humanoid magical beast, ruthlessly slaughtering anyone he encountered. The sight chilled everyone to the bone!

This wasn't a rescue; it was a one-sided massacre!

Everyone now understood why Xiao Yan had been so polite at the beginning. He was just worried he might accidentally hurt Little Fairy Doctor!

Rumble!

 The ground of the medicine house cracked with a single stomp from his foot. The trees, walls, and buildings in the compound crumbled into rubble.

"Run!!"

"Quick, run for your lives!"

"Help!!"

Seeing how terrifyingly powerful Xiao Yan was, the remaining mercenaries didn't dare to fight him and began fleeing in all directions.

But as Xiao Yan had warned, he wouldn't give a second chance to those who had initially attacked him instead of escaping.

Roar! Xiao Yan let out a fierce roar, gathering all his strength and stomping heavily on the ground!

With a thunderous boom, a terrifying shockwave of energy spread out from him in all directions, causing countless cracks to appear in the ground. Every mercenary caught in the blast of the Mad Lion Chant's shockwave had their internal organs shattered and died instantly.

The Mad Lion Chant was a long-range damage technique that utilized a combination of physical strength and Dou Qi. While its one-on-one combat ability couldn't match the Octane Blast, it was perfect for wiping out weaker foes en masse.

Xiao Yan let out a forceful exhalation, and the illusory lion figure vanished. Even he, whose physique had been tempered by the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, felt a significant drain on his physical strength.

Using a fully mastered High Xuan Class Dou Technique still took a tremendous toll on him.

"You chose the wrong opponent," Xiao Yan said as he looked toward Mu She and Mr. Yao, who had hidden behind the mercenaries and thus were not caught in the waves of the Dou Technique.

Seeing the Wolf Head Mercenary Company he had painstakingly built over a lifetime decimated, with all its mercenaries slain by Xiao Yan, Mu She was stupefied. He glared at Xiao Yan with eyes filled with bitterness and hatred.

With a trembling hand, he slowly picked up his steel spear. He knew he was defeated and couldn't hope to beat Xiao Yan, but he did not choose to flee. With the Wolf Head Mercenary Company gone, he had nothing left to hold on to.

In a chilling voice filled with murderous intent, he said, "Even in death, I'll take you with me!"

A layer of wind-attribute Dou Qi wrapped around his steel spear.

"Soaring Wind Step! Gale Pierce!"

Mu She spun his spear violently and let out a deep roar. Immediately, the tip of the spear was enveloped by a faint green whirlwind. As the whirlwind swept through, it seemed to tear apart the surrounding air as it headed straight for Xiao Yan's head.

"Admirable courage. In your next life, remember to be a good father. Put some effort into teaching your son, and stay away from kidnapping and extortion. It never ends well."

Octane Blast!

Xiao Yan raised his hand and punched directly at the spear's tip.

Bang, bang, bang! The steel spear shattered like brittle ice and broke into pieces. A force beyond Mu She's imagination traveled from the spear into his body and blasted him backward.

Bang! The hidden force erupted as he was thrown back. Immediately, red blood splattered everywhere.

Just like that, the Wolf Head Mercenary Company of Qingshan Town became history.

A gentle breeze swept through the medicine house, slowly clearing away the dust that had accumulated. The silhouette of Xiao Yan standing with his hands behind his back gradually emerged.

Looking at the unharmed young man below, Little Fairy Doctor, watching from above, had a face filled with surprise. Xiao Yan had grown several times stronger than he was six months ago!

A 2-star Dou Master using Dou Techniques could not withstand even a single move from him! Hundreds of mercenaries couldn't even scratch him!

He was ridiculously strong!

When it came to killing, he was decisive in wiping out the enemy! None of the mercenaries who raised their hands against him survived.

The only survivors were some female servants and miscellaneous staff of the Thousand Medicine House.

Xiao Yan turned his gaze to the other side. Mr. Yao had picked up the ancient recipe he had discarded and had long since fled into an underground passage within the compound when he realized that something was amiss.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and a meaningful smile appeared on his face at the sight of Mr. Yao's flight.

...

"Monsters! They're both monsters!" Mr. Yao emerged from the underground passage and ran straight for the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

His strength wasn't even comparable to Mu She's.

"It's very rude to slander others behind their backs, you know." Xiao Yan's voice suddenly came from above Mr. Yao's head.

Mr. Yao looked up in horror, only to see Xiao Yan hovering above him with the aid of the Purple Cloud Wings, watching him with a smile.

"Don't kill me, I can give you the Thousand Medicine House, everything will be yours!" Mr. Yao knelt on both knees and kowtowed repeatedly.

Xiao Yan's eyes were calm as he spoke in an even tone, "When you framed Little Fairy Doctor and tried to force her to hand over her treasures, you should have anticipated this day."

"It's not true! I didn't falsely accuse her! The epidemic was indeed caused by Little Fairy Doctor! I just… I only wanted the medical compendium, that's all."

Smiling, Xiao Yan approached Mr. Yao step by step and said softly, "The truth no longer matters. After you die, the townspeople will find poison and an ancient poison recipe on your body. They will believe that it was you who conspired with the Wolf Head Mercenary Company to frame Little Fairy Doctor in order to obtain the medical compendium."

! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

With a crack, Xiao Yan twisted Mr. Yao's neck, leaving a look of utter disbelief on his face.

The truth had no meaning whatsoever in this world where the strong reign supreme. The powerful dictate what the truth is. As the Little Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan understood this principle very early on.

Without him, regardless of the actual truth, the entire Qingshan Town would have ended up believing that Little Fairy Doctor had caused the mysterious deaths of the residents under the coercion of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company and the Thousand Medicine House.

Now, it was simply that he was stronger.
