At the pitch-black stone gate, more than a dozen shadows slowly emerged from the darkness. The leader of the group revealed himself as Muli, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
His eyes swept over the piles of glittering gold coins inside the stone chamber, and a hint of greed flashed across Muli's face.
"I'm sorry, Little Medical Fairy. Li Fei told me everything."
"How could my assistant have told you this information? Did you bribe her? You bastard!" Xiao Yixian scolded, her eyebrows raised as a sudden thought struck her.
"Haha, she revealed everything with just a few sweet words. Not only her, but you will also be mine in the future," Muli said with a confident smile before turning his attention to Mo Yu. "You must be Mo Yu, right? I've heard about your impressive strength since joining the mercenary group. How about joining my Wolf Head Mercenary Group? When I take over your father's position, I will make you my right-hand man.
With the funds in this cave, my Wolf Head Mercenary Group will be able to annex all forces in Qingshan Town and expand outward. Your status and power will be second only to mine. What do you think?"
Muli spoke confidently about his future plans. He admired Mo Yu's strength and wanted to recruit him, knowing that as the Wolf Head Mercenary Group expanded, it would need to absorb many talents and helpers.
However, all his fantasies were based on the assumption that he had enough strength.
Mo Yu smiled playfully, his eyes scanning the level badges on the chests of the dozen or so mercenaries blocking the stone gate. These mercenaries were around four-star and five-star fighters, and Muli himself was only at the six-star level. Except for Muli's right-hand man, Ma Si, a two-star fighter who posed a slight threat, the rest of the Wolf Head Mercenaries were practically asking to be defeated.
"Wolf Head Mercenary Group? They don't even have a Grand Fighter and still want to expand. You'd better stop dreaming," Mo Yu sneered.
In his previous life, he had only established a force after gaining strength and influence. For a group like the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, whose strongest member was a two-star fighter, aspiring to expand outward was simply laughable.
"It seems you're determined to oppose my Wolf Head Mercenary Group. It's a pity for your talent, but that's fine. I'd be worried if I kept a genius like you by my side."
Hearing Mo Yu's sarcastic remarks, Muli's eyes flashed with deep anger. "Go ahead, kill him, and be careful not to hurt Xiao Yixian. She's the woman I've chosen!" Muli ordered coldly, waving his hand.
"Yes!" Three of the mercenaries immediately charged at Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian with fierce expressions.
"Bang!"
Mo Yu glanced at the approaching mercenaries, a slight smile on his lips. He shot a few red lightning bolts at them.
In such a narrow and enclosed environment, it was obviously not suitable to use high-destructive fighting skills. Otherwise, the cave might collapse, endangering everyone.
With a crackling sound of electricity, the red lightning flashed through the air, and the three rushing mercenaries were electrocuted and fell unconscious.
After absorbing numerous magic cores, Mo Yu's strength had significantly increased, and Suzaku's Burning Sky Thunder had also grown rapidly, making it easy for him to deal with ordinary fighters.
Seeing the sudden display of terrifying thunder and how Mo Yu subdued three powerful mercenaries effortlessly, Muli's confident expression turned to one of shock and fear.
"Ma Si, lead the others and attack!" Muli shouted anxiously, feeling uneasy.
A tall man named Ma Si stepped forward. The remaining ten mercenaries drew their weapons and rushed toward Mo Yu with murderous intent.
"Mo Yu, be careful!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yixian warned Mo Yu, though she couldn't help but worry despite his formidable strength.
Mo Yu turned around and smiled faintly at Xiao Yixian, his eyes calm and unfathomable.
In the eerie cave, as the mercenaries charged, a ball of red lightning suddenly appeared in Mo Yu's hands.
The red thunder, like an electric snake, flashed across the air. Everyone felt their skin heat up, followed by a horrible numb sensation as the lightning surged through them, accompanied by a crackling sound.
The smell of roasted meat filled the cave as the mercenaries were scorched by the electric current.
Watching this horrifying scene and smelling the unpleasant odor, Muli was in shock. He gasped for breath, his smugness replaced by sheer terror. When he looked at Mo Yu again, his eyes were filled with fear.
The Little Medical Fairy, witnessing the scene, gasped and covered her slightly open mouth with her delicate hands. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Mo Yu, her heartbeat racing in sync with the crackling of the electricity.
The dozen or so mercenaries were instantly knocked unconscious by the lightning. It was hard to believe that the one responsible was the handsome and seemingly harmless young man before them.
"Captain Muli, are you going to take action yourself next?" Mo Yu teased as he slowly put away the Suzaku Burning Sky Thunder.
"Mo Yu, Brother Mo, Young Master Mo, Master Mo, please let me go! Please!" Muli, no longer arrogant, crawled to Mo Yu, begging for mercy with a terrified look.
Being able to handle more than a dozen experienced fighters instantly was something only someone as powerful as his father could do. With his mere six-star strength, Muli realized he had no chance.
Seeing Muli's panic-stricken state, Xiao Yixian burst out laughing. This man, who had relied on his status to harass her and deceive her maid, was now in such a predicament.
Suddenly, hearing the sweet laugh, Mo Yu turned around and saw Xiao Yixian, usually gentle and elegant, laughing uncontrollably.
Seeing Mo Yu's gaze, Xiao Yixian's face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What do you think we should do with him?" Mo Yu asked, his mood lightened by Xiao Yixian's laughter.
"Me?" Xiao Yixian was stunned and pointed at herself in disbelief.
"Besides you and me, is there a third person? Oh yes, except this guy," Mo Yu said, pointing at Muli.
Seeing that Mo Yu didn't even consider Muli a threat, Xiao Yixian laughed again.
Muli's face darkened, but he saw a glimmer of hope and quickly pleaded with Xiao Yixian, "Please let me go this time. I will never bother you again when I return."
Xiao Yixian was troubled but eventually softened. She said to Mo Yu, "Let him go. As long as he leaves Qingshan Town, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group won't trouble you again.
I have some reputation in Qingshan Town, so even if I let him go, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group won't dare to touch me."
Mo Yu, seeing no reason to regret it, looked at Muli coldly. "You can be spared from death, but you still have a punishment."
With that, Mo Yu shot a force from his fingertips, aiming at Muli's knee and crippling it.
Accompanied by Muli's painful cries, Mo Yu and Xiao Yixian walked out of the cave after looting all the valuables inside.
As for Muli, now disabled, he was left to fend for himself.
