Chapter 131: 103, how dare you lay a finger on my woman?
Xu Yuan's expression was extremely calm as he stood in the middle of the street, holding the wide-eyed head of the Yin-yang Master in one hand and his sword in the other.
The Dry Leaf Elder, who had been deceived and pursued forward, sensed something was amiss and turned back, only to witness this scene.
His pupils shrank slightly, and his stooped body straightened a bit, as a touch of emotion appeared on his aged face.
"You killed the Yin-yang Master?"
the Dry Leaf Elder asked hoarsely.
As he spoke, his gaze continuously observed the bleeding head in Xu Yuan's hand and the pool of blood beneath his feet.
However, no matter how many times his Divine Sense swept over, it remained incredibly real.
'This is not any illusion...'
His heart also sank.
The Dry Leaf Elder had understood; from the very beginning, this was a ruse.
Xu Yuan had initially deliberately made the first move, intending to make them think he wanted to eliminate one person first, and then he seemingly fled using the guise of battle, leading them to believe that all his previous actions were meant to deceive them and that his true intention was to escape.

In reality, his goal had always been murder.
One could only say that this youngster was extremely adept at acting and had deceived all of them.
But no matter what, he couldn't imagine how Xu Yuan, in such a short breaths' time, managed to kill the Yin-yang Master, who was not weaker than him.
"Otherwise?"
Xu Yuan asked with an indifferent tone.
A gentle breeze brushed his temples, and the handsome young man stood tall and confident, with his hand behind his back, much like a grandmaster exuding self-assurance.
The Dry Leaf Elder's eyes flickered as he began to silently calculate in his mind.
He wasn't quite sure, even if Xu Yuan's Secret Technique was incredibly powerful, after having consecutively killed two Core Formation experts, Xu Yuan's Spiritual Power should be exhausted by now, right?
But... what if?
Xu Yuan looked at the Dry Leaf Elder, his eyelids lowered, also silently considering whether to kill him as well.
Initially, in order to prevent these people from being alert, Xu Yuan deliberately did not use the Illusory Realm to create illusions, but simply relied on his own strength, so that now he could launch an unexpected sneak attack.
That's why the Yin-yang Master had no defense and was caught off guard just now.
But even so, without the Ya Miedie Paralysis Spell, that strike would only have seriously injured the Yin-yang Master at best.
And now, with the Dry Leaf Elder on guard, even without knowing Xu Yuan's methods, he would definitely be more cautious than before, and killing him wouldn't be so easy.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two had reached a deadlock.
"Forget it, heroes emerge from the young."
After hesitating for a moment, the Dry Leaf Elder still chose to withdraw, "After all, I am your senior. Young man, as long as you give me half of what's on the Yin-yang Master, I will leave immediately. How about it?"
"You want it... Fine, come and get it with your own ability."
Xu Yuan sneered, and the Thunderfire Sword ignited with both flames and lightning.
He did not know whether the Dry Leaf Elder was testing him or if he genuinely believed that, but once something was in his possession, there was no reason to give it back.
The Dry Leaf Elder's eyes flickered, and he chuckled dryly, not in a hurry to leave, nor did he rush forward, but instead stood still from afar, clearly intending to follow Xu Yuan.
"Youngster, I advise you that it's better to spend money to avoid disaster. Otherwise, I may have to follow you all the way to the end. Aren't you worried about your little lover being in danger?"
"Is that so? Then come."
Xu Yuan smiled lightly and turned to leave.
Due to the No-Fly Order, the Dry Leaf Elder didn't dare to hover in the sky blatantly, so he could only trail far behind Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan wasn't too worried about him; he could shake him off anytime he wished.
While discreetly weaving through the crowd, he began to inspect some of the items the Yin-yang Master had.
One has to admit, these Loose Cultivators might not have Cultivation Techniques and treasures of the same quality as those from a Sect, but they certainly don't lack in quantity.
A fan, clothes, and a Heart-Protection Mirror on the chest—these three items might look ordinary at first glance, but actually...
they were indeed quite ordinary.
Besides, in his storage bag, there were several thousand Spirit Stones, more than a dozen bottles of peculiarly colored Elixirs, all sorts of Cultivation Techniques, talismans, roughly a few hundred items in total, among which a small sword, a shield, and a puppet with a white piece of paper attached were particularly eye-catching.
It wasn't hard to tell from the aura that these were all one-time use items.
Xu Yuan was somewhat disappointed.
He hadn't expected that a high-level Core Formation cultivator could be so poor.
He had thought that such veterans would drop quite a lot of Gold Coins.
But now, after counting, he couldn't help feeling a bit let down.
But that made sense, too, if there had been any valuable Magical Treasures that didn't suit them, they would likely have sold them long ago to exchange for other items.
They wouldn't have kept them until now.
Among these items, what was useful to him were the three one-time use, Core Formation-level Magical Treasures and talismans.
The small sword was offensive, the shield was self-explanatory, defensive, and the puppet was a cursing item.
Any cultivator below the Nascent Soul Stage could be cursed by it.
In other words, this item was also useful for Lin Qingque and Tian Liuli.
