Chapter 288: Sister Yanran, Let Your Eldest Brother Test Xiao Yan's Strength First!

Although Xiao Yan was standing beside Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, his newly achieved Dou Master cultivation level did not catch Liu Ling's attention.

At that moment, upon hearing Liu Ling's imposing words, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li did not respond directly but instead turned their gazes towards Xiao Yan.

Sensing his brothers' looks, Xiao Yan, although shocked by Liu Ling's strength, felt no fear due to Yao Lao's support.

As Liu Ling's focus remained on Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up: "So you're the leader of the Eldest Brother's Mercenary Group?"

After Xiao Yan spoke, Cassida from Liu Ling's group angrily yelled at Xiao Ding, "Xiao Ding, is this how the Mo Tie Mercenary Group disciplines its members? When leaders are speaking, can any Tom, Dick, or Harry interject?"

"Insolence!"

"This is my own brother, Xiao Yan. His words are my words," Xiao Ding replied fiercely when he heard Cassida's insult.

Cassida was about to continue his mockery when he saw Liu Ling's hand gesture and promptly shut his mouth.

"Xiao Yan..."

"I seem to have heard that name somewhere!"

Upon hearing the name mentioned by Xiao Ding, Liu Ling rubbed the back of his head, trying to remember.

Suddenly, as if struck by a realization, he looked excitedly at Xiao Yan and thought, "Could this be the Xiao Yan who Sister Yanran broke off an engagement with?"

Seeing Liu Ling's somewhat strange reaction, Xiao Yan was also puzzled and asked, "Do you know me?"

"I remember now, there was a Xiao Yan who borrowed 100,000 gold coins from me as a child and then disappeared without paying it back. Surely that wasn't you?"

Instead of revealing his true identity at that moment, Liu Ling decided to tease Xiao Yan with a made-up excuse.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned, while Xiao Ding quickly explained, "Leader Liu is joking. My younger brother has been in Wutan City since he was young and has never been out, so how could he have had the opportunity to borrow money from someone?"

Shaking his head, Liu Ling then said seriously, "Well, whether or not you owe me money, today you must leave Stone Desert City. This is your last chance."

As soon as Liu Ling finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately responded without hesitation, "What if we don't leave?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Liu Ling's face showed a touch of annoyance, and he coldly said, "If you don't leave, then I'll just have to have you carried out!"

After saying this, Liu Ling's aura burst forth powerfully, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the three Xiao brothers.

At this critical moment, Xiao Yan's aura also surged dramatically, reaching the Dou Spirit level in an instant.

"Ah!"

Liu Ling noticed the abnormal surge in Xiao Yan's power, quickly withdrawing the kick he had casually thrown, and stopped in his tracks.

"Dou Spirit level..."

Feeling the aura emanating from Xiao Yan, Liu Ling did not show any fear, still smiling slightly, "It seems you are their reliance."

"Correct!"

"With me here today, you won't touch a blade of grass of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group."

With the soul enhancement from Yao Lao, Xiao Yan spoke with full confidence.

Although Liu Ling did not know how Xiao Yan had achieved such cultivation, he was certain that this power was not Xiao Yan's own.

"Sister Yanran, let me, your Eldest Brother, test Xiao Yan's strength today."

With a silent sigh, Liu Ling's expression turned serious.

The next moment, a purple flame appeared in the palm of Liu Ling's hand.

As the purple flame emerged, taking on the shape of an eagle, it seemed as though the sound of an eagle's cry could be heard by those around, and strangely, ripples like water waves began to undulate around it.

Upon seeing the purple flame emerging from Liu Ling's palm, Xiao Yan expressed his surprise, "A Heavenly Flame!"

"This is not a Heavenly Flame, but merely a special beast flame," Yao Lao corrected him from within the ring. "However, possessing a beast flame could slightly evolve the Flame Mantra within you."

Realizing it was a beast flame, Xiao Yan murmured softly, having been on a quest to find a Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Desert for some time without even a glimpse of one. Seeing Liu Ling possess such a flame naturally stirred a bit of envy in him.

"Quite knowledgeable!" Liu Ling remarked with a hint of appreciation upon seeing Xiao Yan recognize the flame in his hand.

"Let’s see how much substance there is to your Dou Spirit strength."

In the next moment, as Liu Ling's words fell, his figure shifted rapidly, moving as swiftly as a hurricane to Xiao Yan's side, his hands reaching quickly to grasp Xiao Yan's right shoulder.

Caught off guard by Liu Ling's swift movements, Xiao Yan, in a reflex, pulled out the black ruler from behind him and swung it forcefully overhead, creating a fierce wind aimed directly at Liu Ling's head.

Reacting quickly, Liu Ling changed his claw into a palm, striking Xiao Yan's shoulder and using the force to move out of the attack's path.

"Bang!"

The giant black ruler smashed into the ground, creating a loud crack and a fissure on the surface in front of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group’s headquarters.

"Hmph!"

Having just exchanged blows, Xiao Yan grunted from the hit to his shoulder, his gaze towards Liu Ling growing more serious.

"With a Dou Grandmaster's cultivation but possessing such dense Dou Qi, this young man has a very solid foundation!" Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yan's ears as the two separated again.

Understanding the situation, Xiao Yan decided not to waste any more time. "It seems I have to use that move," he muttered to himself.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami!"

As Xiao Yan's low chant echoed in his mind, the surrounding air seemed to fill instantly with a scorching fire attribute energy.

The black ruler that Xiao Yan raised high gradually became enveloped in a fiery red glow.

"Planning to compare Dou Techniques? Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!" Despite seeing Xiao Yan's preparations, Liu Ling did not advance to stop him but instead began forming a seal with his hands as Xiao Yan was just gathering his momentum.

"Vermillion Bird Seal!"

With a shout from Liu Ling, the nebulous seal in his hand suddenly burst forth with a brilliant crimson light.

Just then, from Xiao Yan's giant ruler, a crescent of red light several meters long shot out, striking towards Liu Ling with incredible speed.
