BTTH: From Genius to Invincible

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: One-Move Instant Defeat



Xiao Yan found the whole situation rather boring. Wouldn't it be better if he just took action directly and dealt with that Luo Bu guy?

However, excavating the desert and opening up the deeper rock layers would also require some time. He might as well watch the show to pass the time.

Even though Xiao Li was only a Dou Master, he still had the ability to fight back against Luo Bu, a Dou Grandmaster.

"Triple Lightning Arc Dance!"

Xiao Li suddenly let out a low shout. The long spear in his hand jumped with strange, heavy electric arcs, then madly stabbed toward Luo Bu.

"In the face of absolute strength, who cares if you have the so-called strongest attacking lightning attribute Dou Qi? Dou Qi Armor!" Luo Bu let out a loud as the electric arcs shot toward him. His Dou Qi crazily condensed and, in an instant, actually formed an energy gauntlet.

Then he tightly clenched his fist and suddenly smashed out. The fierce whistling of the wind mixed with the violent energy surged directly collided with the electric arcs.

The two forces collided. Luo Bu's fist almost devastated the three electric arcs like a hot knife through butter. After destroying them, the momentum did not diminish at all as it heavily smashed toward Xiao Li.

Xiao Li swiftly twisted his hand and used the long spear to block in front of his chest. Luo Bu's fist struck the shaft of the spear with a loud clang.

His eyes narrowed upon receiving the blow. His feet heavily stepped back over a dozen steps before finally stopping on top of a huge rock at the edge of the front courtyard.

Xiao Yan was not surprised. Although his Second Brother had a ruthless personality and his cultivation talent was not bad, his Qi Method and Dou Techniques could not keep up and weren't enough to allow him to defeat a Dou Grandmaster at a lower realm.

When his two brothers had left the clan to make a name for themselves, he had thought about taking out a few High Xuan Class Qi Methods and Dou Techniques from his storage ring to give them. However, he was worried that it might attract unnecessary trouble, so he ultimately did not.

'Once we've unified all the mercenary companies in Rock Desert City, Big Brother and Second Brother will have established a decent force and have a certain ability to protect themselves. Possessing High Xuan Class Qi Methods and Dou Techniques shouldn't be a problem then.'

Xiao Yan had already made plans in his heart. He intended to give his two older brothers a boost in strength before leaving.

He definitely could not stay in Rock Desert City forever. Regardless of whether he could obtain a new Heavenly Flame or not, he would certainly leave Rock Desert City for the imperial capital in a few months.

Xiao Li exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan. Understanding his meaning, he smiled wryly and shrugged, slowly standing up from the chair.

It couldn't be helped.

Who told his Second Brother to have such a strong sense of pride, insisting on exchanging a few moves with a Dou Grandmaster before letting him take action?

The crisp sound of applause echoed throughout the entire compound.

"Sorry to interrupt, but could everyone please look this way?" Xiao Yan's voice was transmitted into everyone's minds through his powerful Spiritual Strength, as if magically imprinting itself in their brains.

The mercenaries from the Sand Mercenary Company present were all at a loss, not understanding why a voice would appear in their minds. They all stopped fighting.

"Very good. Those who are about to be called out can enter our Desert Metal Mercenary Company as probationary members. After passing a three-month trial period, you can become official members. Those not called can each return home. From now on, the Sand Mercenary Company will cease to exist. If you still want to join our Desert Metal Mercenary Company, we hold an open recruitment once a month. You can take the assessment then to join." Xiao Yan announced in an indifferent tone.

"Who are you?!" Luo Bu angrily looked at Xiao Yan and demanded.

"Me? I am Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's younger brother. My name is Xiao Yan. You can also call me the Third Company Leader." Xiao Yan introduced himself with a smile.

"I don't care if you're Xiao Yan or Xiao Shui. You have no right to boss around my Sand Mercenary Company!"

"Sigh, do you have a listening comprehension disorder?" Xiao Yan activated the Mad Lion Chant with a buzzing sound. The illusory figure of an Eight-Winged Flame Demonic Tiger several meters tall instantly appeared behind him.

He then waved his hand and the Eight-Winged Flame Demonic Tiger behind him pressed down on Luo Bu with a claw. Even though Luo Bu used Dou Qi Armor to wrap his entire body, he was still pressed into the ground by the terrifying force, much like the Monkey King under the Five Finger Mountain.

"Didn't my Second Brother already say it? We're just here to let you know, not to negotiate with you."

Xiao Yan made his move! And this single move shocked everyone. A tiger paw formed from the High Xuan Class Dou Technique Mad Lion Chant easily pressed the Dou Grandmaster Luo Bu into the ground.

Although Xiao Yan did not directly crush him to death and only pressed him into the ground, everyone understood the terrifying extent of his strength.

It was at this moment that Xiao Li finally understood how frightening this younger brother of his was. Xiao Yan, a Dou Grandmaster, was on an entirely different level compared to Luo Bu, another Dou Grandmaster!

Seeing Xiao Yan standing there as if everything was beneath his notice, everyone was so shocked that their mouths were wide open, unable to close for a long time.

That was a Dou Grandmaster! And he was actually pressed into the ground just like that?! This was too outrageous! Moreover, this young man in front of them was Xiao Li's brother, a brother younger than him!

"Of course, I am someone who values freedom, democracy, and harmony. I never force others to do what they are unwilling to do. If you don't want to join, I won't force you. You can leave now." Xiao Yan retracted the Mad Lion Chant and said with an unconcerned expression.

Luo Bu, who had been pressed into the ground, struggled to stand up. The Dou Qi Armor on his body had completely shattered. This was still the result of Xiao Yan showing mercy.

If Xiao Yan had truly struck with killing intent, Luo Bu would be a puddle of flesh and blood

right now.

The limp Luo Bu looked at Xiao Yan with a dazed expression, then looked around at the mercenary members of the former Sand Mercenary Company. The fighting spirit in their eyes

had long vanished.

The sheer strength of Xiao Yan was enough to drive anyone to despair.

Luo Bu said in despair, "The Sand Mercenary Company is hereby disbanded."

Xiao Yan merely smiled, then laid back in the chair like a boss and sunbathed, waiting for his Second Brother to finish handling everything.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In the end, only one-third of the huge Sand Mercenary Company's members were qualified to stay. The rest were either too cowardly or their strength was lacking, not meeting the standards to join the Desert Metal Mercenary Company.

However, in order to stabilize the former members of the Sand Mercenary Company, Xiao Li even recruited Luo Bu and allowed him to continue managing his own members.

In addition, all of the Sand Mercenary Company's assets, gold coins, Qi Methods, Dou Techniques, and properties were transferred to the Desert Metal Mercenary Company. One could say that the current Desert Metal Mercenary Company's strength would be considered a second-rate force even in a large city like Wu Tan City.

Undoubtedly, the power dynamics in Rock Desert City had changed dramatically. The Desert Metal Mercenary Company was now the sole dominant force, and all mercenary work, including desert expeditions and resource gathering, could only be entrusted to them alone.

"Wake up, Xiao-Yan-Zi."

Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and looked at Xiao Li. "Second Brother, is everything taken care of?"

"Mm, now no one will interfere with our search for the Heavenly Flame," Xiao Li replied with

a smile.

Xiao Yan naturally had no interest in unifying the mercenary companies. He just didn't want anyone to cause trouble when he went underground to search for the Heavenly Flame. If someone ruined things while he was looking for the Heavenly Flame, he would definitely go

berserk.

All hidden dangers had to be eliminated!

"Then let's go. I wonder how Big Brother is doing on his side. Hopefully we'll have some

gains this time."
