BTTH : From Humble Beginnings to Dou Di

Lin Feng's Dou Technique and Cultivation Method were originally a set. When used together, their power naturally surpassed an average lLow-Grade Black-Class Dou Technique.

Moreover, Mu Li was two stars weaker than Lin Feng. In less than a second after their clash, a crisp "crack" came from Mu Li's fists.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out as he was sent flying by the immense force.

"Ah! My hands!"

Crashing to the ground, Mu Li raised his severely deformed fists, his screams of agony echoing endlessly in the tunnel.

"Young Master!"

Hearing his scream, the mercenaries behind him panicked and shouted anxiously in his direction.

If anything happened to Mu Li here, his father, Mu She, would never let them off easily.

"Go!"

After taking down Mu Li, Lin Feng forcibly suppressed the urge to kill him on the spot. He grabbed Xiao Yixian's arm and quickly dashed toward the cave exit.

Not long after Lin Feng left, seven or eight mercenaries who could still move rushed out of the stone chamber.

Seeing Mu Li on the ground, his face pale and his hands twisted unnaturally, they were all shocked.

The Young Master, a six-star Dou Zhe, was beaten up like this by that young man?

Faced with this brutal reality, everyone froze for a moment.

"Idiots! What are you standing around for? Chase them! That brat must die! And once you're outside, send a signal to alert the ambush team above!"

Mu Li spat another mouthful of blood. Enduring the pain from his shattered fists, he roared angrily.

"Yes!"

His furious shout snapped the mercenaries out of their daze. They immediately responded and dashed after Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian.

Struggling to sit up, Mu Li leaned against the stone wall and exhaled heavily.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes as he growled, "You little bastard, if I catch you, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Lin Feng maintained a stoic expression as he pulled Xiao Yixian along, sprinting toward the exit. His right hand, hidden in his sleeve, throbbed with pain, and his adrenaline was surging.

Since transmigrating, he had only fought against Magic Beasts—this was his first real battle against another person.

"With Mu Li's cunning, there must be Wolf Head Mercenary Group members waiting up on the cliff!"

Breathing heavily, Xiao Yixian warned.

Hearing this, Lin Feng remembered that Xiao Yixian seemed to have a tier-one Magic Beast companion.

However, since he couldn't bring it up himself, he asked, "Do you have any way to get us out of here?"

Biting her red lips, Xiao Yixian seemed to make up her mind. She said, "I can take you away."

Lin Feng nodded. "Then hurry up and use it. If they catch up, it'll be hard for me to run while bringing you along."

Seeing Lin Feng's agreement, Xiao Yixian pulled out a short bamboo flute from her robe. She placed it against her lips and blew lightly.

A peculiar soundwave spread out from the flute, traveling through the tunnel and then into the night sky beyond the cliff.

"What are you doing?"

Gazing at the moonlit exit ahead, Lin Feng feigned ignorance and asked.

"Summoning my companion," Xiao Yixian replied with a playful smile, shaking the flute in her hand. "A rank one Blue Eagle."

"A flying Magic Beast? Looks like we're saved." Lin Feng chuckled.

They continued running through the dark tunnel. The moonlight at the cave's exit grew brighter and brighter.

Moments later, they finally emerged. The vast sky filled with twinkling stars and the massive silver moon appeared before them.

As soon as they reached the entrance, Lin Feng swiftly pulled Xiao Yixian against the stone wall, peering cautiously toward the cliff above.

Sure enough, several figures were patrolling the area with torches in hand.

"As expected, they planned ahead."

Pressing his ear to the ground, Lin Feng listened for a moment before saying, "The pursuers are close. How much longer until your companion arrives?"

Xiao Yixian scanned the night sky with her beautiful eyes before placing the flute back to her lips, sending another peculiar soundwave into the air.

"Screeech!"

Not long after, a sharp cry echoed through the night.

Under the moonlight, Lin Feng faintly saw a massive eagle with azure feathers swiftly gliding through the mountains.

In mere moments, the eagle reached the cliffside and began circling below.

"Let's go!"

Seeing the Blue Eagle arrive, Xiao Yixian let out a sigh of relief and waved at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, then turned back to glance at the cave, where human figures were already appearing in the tunnel. He let out a cold laugh.

Wrapping his arm around Xiao Yixian's slender waist, he leaped straight onto the enormous Blue Eagle.

"Xiao Lan, go!"

As soon as they landed on the eagle's back, Xiao Yixian urged it forward.

Hearing her voice, the Blue Eagle flapped its massive wings, sending fierce gusts of wind sweeping through the area. Then, carrying the two of them, it soared into the sky.

"Shoot it down!"

Seeing them take off, the mercenaries who had reached the cave entrance shouted toward the cliff above.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The cliffside erupted into chaos. Moments later, a barrage of arrows shot toward the sky, aiming for the Blue Eagle.

Seeing the incoming arrows, Lin Feng's heart tensed. At the Dou Zhe stage, he could not yet condense a Dou Qi shield, so regular arrows still posed a threat to him.

Just as he was about to strike back, the Blue Eagle flapped its wings forcefully, sending a pale-green whirlwind outward. Instantly, the gust deflected the arrows, making them plummet into the abyss below.

Squatting down, Xiao Yixian's long hair was tousled by the wind. Her jade-like hand gently stroked the Blue Eagle's feathers as she turned back and smiled at Lin Feng. "We're safe now."

"Phew…"

Lin Feng let out a heavy breath and slumped onto the Blue Eagle's back, watching the forest below rapidly shrink in the distance.

A slight chill ran down his spine—this was his first time flying so high without any protection.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lin Feng peered down at the cave below.

His gaze locked onto Mu Li, who was standing at the entrance, supported by a few mercenaries.

Their eyes met in the night sky. Lin Feng did not conceal his killing intent toward Mu Li, the man who wanted him dead.

As the Blue Eagle flew further away, Lin Feng finally looked back at Xiao Yixian and asked, "Want to leave with me?"

Brushing aside a strand of hair, the oncoming wind pressed Xiao Yixian's clothes tightly against her figure, subtly revealing her graceful curves.

"No, I need to return to the herb-gathering team," Xiao Yixian said with a faint smile.

"You're going back? You're not afraid of dying?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat speechless.

"Once I return, Mu Li won't dare touch me again." Xiao Yixian smiled knowingly.

With her reputation in Qingshan Town, Mu Li would never dare to act against her if he wanted to avoid public outrage.
