Battle Through the Heavens: Rebirth of the Full-level Emperor Yan

"It's this guy again!"

Looking at the young man standing in the sunlight with a bright smile, Little Fairy Doctor's heart skipped a beat, and she finally shook her head helplessly.

She walked gracefully into the mercenary team, and seeing that almost everyone was present, after a while, the team of over thirty mercenaries finally began to advance deeper into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

After the team set off, Xiao Yan stood casually beside Little Fairy Doctor, his hands clasped behind his head, letting the warm sunlight fall upon him.

"With your carefree demeanor, I really don't know if you came to the Demon Beast Mountain Range for a vacation or for training."

Watching Xiao Yan's swaggering appearance, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but sigh softly. To be so arrogant in the perilous Demon Beast Mountain Range, putting everything else aside, at least his mindset was quite enviable.

"I am relaxed because I have enough confidence that the Demonic Beasts here cannot threaten our safety."

Xiao Yan chuckled, casually spitting out the blade of grass he had been chewing.

Their rather intimate appearance was noticed by many mercenaries around them, but none of them voiced any opinions.

Dou Qi Continent was such a world where the strong were respected, and within this mercenary team, it was even more blatant about who had the bigger fist.

Although some mercenaries felt a bit unconvinced, Xiao Yan's reputation and the strength he displayed yesterday had already made these mercenaries not dare to speak any harsh words to him.

Everyone knew that this young man in front of them was far from someone they could afford to offend.

Even within the mercenary team, a few older mercenaries looked at the two with a hint of ambiguity.

They had watched Little Fairy Doctor grow up since she was young, and they didn't have many ulterior motives towards her; instead, they treated her like a younger sister or even a niece.

Now, seeing such an excellent young man show such obvious interest in Little Fairy Doctor, they secretly felt happy for her.

Compared to Mu Li, this Xiao Yan was far more outstanding than the former; in fact, Mu Li seemed to have no qualifications to be compared with Xiao Yan at all.

In terms of talent, background, and even temperament, the two were simply not on the same level.

From every perspective, meeting Xiao Yan seemed to be a very good thing for Little Fairy Doctor.

"Hey, where's your young leader? Why didn't that scoundrel follow us?"

While sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan glanced at the two Wolf Head Mercenary Group members beside him and couldn't help but ask.

According to his memory of Mu Li's usual behavior, shouldn't Mu Li have come running over again to let him step on him a couple of times?

"Ah?"

"Our young leader is recovering from his injuries. The leader didn't let him come."

Hearing Xiao Yan call their young leader a scoundrel, the two mercenaries' mouths twitched slightly, but having witnessed Xiao Yan's methods, they didn't dare to say much.

"Oh, it seems Mu She still has some brains."

Hearing the two mercenaries' reply, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. In this life, after hearing his name, Mu She had surprisingly kept a low profile.

It seemed that this guy, being able to become the leader of a mercenary group, wasn't foolish.

Having experienced Rebirth, Xiao Yan was too lazy to bother with these small fries. If the other party didn't provoke him first, he was too lazy to create more slaughter.

The team continued to advance slowly, and along the way, they did encounter two Demonic Beast attacks.

The first wave of attacks was relatively mild, with only two first-tier Demonic Beasts causing little damage, but the second wave of attacks made many people's expressions change slightly.

Because in that second attack, a pack of Greenwood Wolves, a total of over ten first-tier Demonic Beasts, suddenly appeared, making many mercenaries' faces turn solemn.

Undoubtedly, these wolf packs already posed a significant threat to their mercenary team.

However, fortunately, Xiao Yan was added to the mercenary team today.

After casually pulling out his enormous xuan heavy ruler and smashing the two strongest Greenwood Wolves into a puddle of flesh, Xiao Yan returned to the team amidst everyone's awestruck gazes, and also conveniently punched a Greenwood Wolf that was trying to sneak attack Little Fairy Doctor, sending it to the ground.

That terrifying Qi directly smashed the Greenwood Wolf's head out of shape, to the extent that Xiao Yan actually dug out the Demonic Core with his bare hands.

Watching Xiao Yan's somewhat bloody and violent methods, Little Fairy Doctor didn't feel too much discomfort.

Although her cultivation wasn't very high right now, having spent many years in the mercenary team, she had, after all, grown accustomed to such things, and even proactively handed Xiao Yan a white silk handkerchief to wipe his hands.

However, she had also gained a new level of respect for Xiao Yan's strength.

With Xiao Yan's participation, the attack by the Greenwood Wolf pack not only caused no casualties but also left behind several Demonic Cores.

Nevertheless, after this "great battle," some people still sustained minor injuries.

"Everyone, we're almost at the herb-gathering area. Let's rest here for a bit."

After reaching a place that somewhat overlapped with his memory, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke with a smile.

"Good, good."

"I think Young Brother Xiao Yan's suggestion is excellent."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, many people in the crowd nodded in agreement.

Firstly, they were indeed a bit tired after walking for so long, and secondly, the strength Xiao Yan had displayed had already given him enough say in the team.

However, just as everyone sat down to rest for a moment, they strangely discovered that Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor had suddenly disappeared at some point.

"What did those two go to do?"

One mercenary asked curiously.

"Idiot, a young man and a young woman, what else could they be doing? Young people are in love, why are you so nosy?"

An old mercenary next to him laughed and scolded.

"As expected of the Genius famous throughout Gama Empire, he managed to win over Little Fairy Doctor in just one day?"

Many people chuckled, while a few younger mercenaries looked quite uncomfortable.

Clearly, deep down, they also held some admiration for Little Fairy Doctor.

And amidst the gossip of the crowd, the young man and woman had already walked to the edge of a cliff.

"The Treasure Trove you mentioned, is it in this place?"

Her beautiful eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity, Little Fairy Doctor looked around and, under Xiao Yan's guidance, finally discovered the vague outline of a cave beneath the cliff.

"This is it."

Xiao Yan nodded, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. He casually pulled over a vine, and after confirming that it was strong enough, he smiled at Little Fairy Doctor and said, "Let's go, I'll take you over."

As he spoke, he had already opened his arms.

"I have my own rope, I don't need your help!" Seeing Xiao Yan's actions, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed slightly. She shook her head, refusing Xiao Yan, and pulled out a rope from her embrace.

It seemed she was quite interested in today's adventure and had already prepared in advance.

"Alright, you go alone then, but let me remind you first, no one can guarantee there won't be venomous snakes, scorpions, or rats down this cliff..." Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yan said with an indifferent smile.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face changed slightly.

"If you dare to act improperly, I will poison you to death!"

After hesitating for a moment, perhaps the allure of the Treasure Trove was too great, or perhaps for some other reason, Little Fairy Doctor, after a brief contemplation, finally, somewhat uncomfortably, hugged Xiao Yan's waist.

His palm wrapped around that incredibly slender, exquisite willow waist, and the nostalgic look on Xiao Yan's face deepened. Only then, with her arms tightly wrapped around him in nervousness, did he leap off the cliff.

The fierce wind whistling in their ears pressed their clothes tightly against their skin. Xiao Yan held Little Fairy Doctor with his left hand, and with a sudden tug of the rope, which had been wrapped several times around his right hand, their rapidly falling figures slowly hung suspended halfway down the cliff.

As the wind subsided, Little Fairy Doctor held Xiao Yan's waist tightly with both arms. A moment later, her pretty face slowly lifted. After a slightly panicked glance at Xiao Yan, she timidly said, "Go on, what are you waiting for here?"

Hearing the soft whisper beside his ear, Xiao Yan smiled without speaking, but his left arm tightened around the white-clad girl in his embrace, feeling her somewhat familiar body warmth, his voice a little hoarse.

"Don't rush, let me hold you a little longer."

The mountain wind brushed against their bodies, making their loose robes cling to their clothes. Feeling the masculine aura that assailed her, Little Fairy Doctor felt her head spin slightly.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice, she instinctively felt a slight urge to resist, but when she looked up and saw Xiao Yan's eyes, she inexplicably stopped resisting.

The meaning contained within those eyes was simply too complex: gentleness, nostalgia, friendship?

Or that hint of apology?

For some reason, the moment she was stared at by those eyes, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly felt an inexplicable sourness in her nose, just like the faint sense of grievance in her dream last night.

"Did we two know each other before?"

Inexplicably, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly asked.

"Of course, we did."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile brightly, a gentle smile still lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"If I said we were the best of friends in our previous lives, would you believe me?"

"I don't believe you."

Little Fairy Doctor snorted softly, but inexplicably, she gently rubbed her head against Xiao Yan's shoulder.

Normally, she would have thought he was spouting nonsense, but this time, she had a sense of unreality and confusion, as if it had happened in a dream.

"And, were we really just friends..."

Thinking of this, the sourness in her nose inexplicably intensified.

"Hehe."

Xiao Yan didn't explain much about Little Fairy Doctor's soft snort. Feeling the body warmth of the person in his arms, a warmth he hadn't dared to fully possess in his previous life, Xiao Yan took a deep breath of her faint natural scent.

"But this time, let's not be friends."

The soft whisper in her ear made Little Fairy Doctor's body tremble. For some reason, a tear finally slid down from the corner of her eye, even she couldn't control it.

"Is there really such a thing as past and present lives in this world?"

Her serene inner world felt as if a beast of emotion had broken in, and Little Fairy Doctor suddenly felt her heart in a tangled mess.

Xiao Yan quietly held Little Fairy Doctor like this, not making any other movements, just quietly feeling her body temperature.

After a long time, until he felt his arms, which could crush a Dou Master, were aching, he then smiled slightly, pushing off a rock beside him with his foot, and his body, carrying Little Fairy Doctor, began to swing between the cliff walls.

As his toes continuously tapped, the violent swaying caused Little Fairy Doctor to awaken slightly from her confused emotions.

She looked down at the bottomless cliff below, her feet feeling a little weak, and then she buried her head in Xiao Yan's arms in a panic.

Feeling Little Fairy Doctor's actions, the gentle smile on Xiao Yan's lips deepened. After a few incredibly agile movements, they had already arrived in front of the cave.

Feeling her feet touch the ground, Little Fairy Doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief. She struggled slightly to break free from Xiao Yan's embrace, and just as she was about to say something with a complex look in her eyes, Xiao Yan pulled her behind him.

Before she could say anything, she felt the airflow around them suddenly surge rapidly, and an inexplicable stench wafted from the cave.

"Be careful!"

When she saw the giant object flying out of the cave, Little Fairy Doctor's face couldn't help but change dramatically.

What flew out of the cave was actually a rock snake. Although this creature was a first-tier Demonic Beast, its hard skin made many strong individuals of the same rank extremely troubled.

Moreover, this creature also had the ability to glide, making it one of the most difficult first-tier Demonic Beasts to deal with.

However, before she could finish worrying, she already saw Xiao Yan's feet flash out like thunder. The next moment, his elbow, carrying violent Qi, smashed heavily onto the rock snake's head.

"Thud!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, to Little Fairy Doctor's astonishment, Xiao Yan stood almost motionless in place. Apart from a slight tear in the corner of his sleeve at the elbow, there were almost no other injuries.

But the rock snake's massive body flew backward with a crash, finally smashing into a corner and remaining motionless.

Xiao Yan blew a stream of Qi from his palm to disperse the dust flying in the cave, then pulled Little Fairy Doctor and walked into the cave.

When they reached the end of the cave and a thick stone door appeared before them, Little Fairy Doctor, looking at the scene on the ground, couldn't help but gently cover her mouth.

The rock snake, whose skin was as hard as rock, now had its massive head brutally smashed open, blood staining the ground black, and it lay limp on the ground.

Just as she was about to marvel at Xiao Yan's power, she saw Xiao Yan casually pull out the rock snake's Demonic Core, then shook it at the stone door and asked, "Do you have a way to open this stone door?"

Looking at the incredibly heavy stone door, Little Fairy Doctor gently shook her head and said helplessly, "Although I have some interest in mechanism techniques, I haven't delved deep into them."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a little enlightened. It seemed that in his previous life, Little Fairy Doctor had also started to seriously learn some mechanism techniques only after discovering this hidden cave.

And due to the long passage of time, coupled with his Soul Power not yet fully recovered, even he couldn't quite remember where the mechanism for this stone door was.

But it didn't matter, Xiao Yan glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and said with a soft smile, "You take a few steps back first."

"Oh."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor didn't hesitate much and quickly took two steps back.

Then, to her dumbfounded gaze, Xiao Yan suddenly turned around, his body like a drawn bow, gathering strength, and finally smashed a fierce punch onto the stone door.

"Thud!"

The dull thud echoed like a drumbeat in Little Fairy Doctor's heart. With a single blow, the thick stone door actually began to show several small cracks.

Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged. His figure shifted again, and after several punches and kicks back and forth, amidst the muffled sounds that made the cave tremble slightly, the cracks on the thick stone door continuously spread. Finally, with a kick from Xiao Yan, it shattered with a crash, turning into countless stones of varying sizes that scattered across the ground.

"This, this is too monstrous."

The faint glow of the moonlight stone passed through the cave and fell on Little Fairy Doctor's bewildered little face. Her rosy little mouth was slightly agape, unable to close for a long time.

"Let's go, we can go in now."

Looking at her dazed appearance, Xiao Yan only felt she was somewhat adorable. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he pulled her jade hand, walking into the cave.

Since he had been here once before, he was also clear that there was no danger inside. It was Little Fairy Doctor who, only when the gravel under her feet slightly hurt her feet, snapped out of Xiao Yan's violent actions just now.

Seeing him so calmly holding her hand, Little Fairy Doctor's jade-like face couldn't help but flush slightly, and she softly cursed, "What a violent guy."

Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally at Little Fairy Doctor's words.

After he became the Dominator, he rarely used his full strength, as the power of his full strength was simply too great, often destroying entire planes.

However, this current body allowed him to fight to his heart's content, without worrying about causing too much destruction.

Therefore, since his Rebirth, Xiao Yan had rarely used Dou Technique, and when fighting, he preferred direct, close-quarters combat.

As the two stepped through the stone door, illuminated by the moonlight stone, a spacious hall also appeared in Little Fairy Doctor's line of sight.

Her eyes swept over the exhilarating treasures in the cave, and Little Fairy Doctor immediately forgot Xiao Yan's rough behavior just now. Her beautiful eyes gazed at a small flower bed in the corner of the cave, filled with excitement and joy.

"Wow, so many medicinal herbs!"
