Chapter 181 - Chapter 181: Not Even a Dou Ancestor, and You're Pretending with Me?!

"Let him go."

Elder Gold's heart surged with waves of shock, unleashing his Dou Qi without reservation.

He used his strongest move, attacking Medusa and Lin Xiu.

Gold and Silver Elders never imagined, even in their dreams, that there would be a Dou Ancestor hidden by Lin Xiu's side!

Medusa flicked her jade hand, and the silver-robed elder was like a launched cannonball, flying straight out, crashing into the mountain wall, and then falling to the ground.

She struck out again.

The void twisted, shattering Elder Gold's attack directly.

"Leave him breathing."

Lin Xiu patted Medusa's shoulder. Without waiting for her response, he dashed towards Elder Silver, who was just about to get up from the ground.

Medusa frowned at her shoulder where Lin Xiu had touched it, her gaze turning dangerous.

She didn't initially want to follow Lin Xiu's orders.

After all, she was the queen of the Snake People Tribe; how could she possibly obey a human's command?

But then she remembered how Lin Xiu had actively and willingly refined the Spirit Fusion Pill for her.

In the end, Medusa chose to take action.

Originally, Elder Gold intended to help his brother, but seeing Medusa attacking, he had to first raise his defenses.

Compared to Su Qian, Medusa was not only a Dou Ancestor but also a Seventh Rank Magic Beast.

Without Elder Silver's cooperation, Elder Gold couldn't hold his own alone. He didn't last long under Medusa's attackS before being knocked to the ground.

Shortly after he was defeated, another figure was thrown over.

It was Elder Silver, covered in blood, with all his limbs broken.

The four elders, along with Han Yue, Yan Hao, and others, had expressions of shock and lingering sadness on their faces.

They still hadn't recovered from the moment when Lin Xiu was about to be killed.

But now, not only was Lin Xiu fine, he had also taken down the Gold and Silver Elders.

These two were strong enough to hold off the Grand Elder.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiu had dealt with them.

This sudden turn of events was hard for everyone to digest and accept in such a short time.

Everyone had a question in their hearts.

Who was that beautiful, Dou Ancestor woman with Lin Xiu?

"Do you think you can run?!"

Han Beng, who was trying to leave quietly, suddenly heard a deep voice in his ear.

He turned his head and saw Lin Xiu's grim face.

Dou Qi surged within him.

Dou Qi energy appeared around Han Beng, and he clenched his fists.

At this moment, Lin Xiu spoke coldly, "If you want to die faster, go ahead."

Han Beng froze, realizing that an invisible flame had somehow appeared within him.

The terrifying heat radiated outward, causing a burning pain in his internal organs.

Instantly, memories of the previous victims flashed through his mind, and the surging Dou Qi calmed down.

"Ugh... you...!"

The next second, Lin Xiu swiftly struck Han Beng's abdomen with a palm, making him instantly pale and weak.

His Dou Qi was rapidly draining, and his strength quickly diminished.

With his dantian destroyed and all his strength gone, Han Beng was utterly disheartened.

Ignoring him, Lin Xiu grabbed his shoulder and threw him beside the Gold and Silver Elders.

"Lin Xiu..."

The four elders and others gathered around.

However, seeing Lin Xiu raise his hand, they had to suppress their questions.

Lin Xiu squatted beside Elder Silver, patting his face twice, "How does it feel now? Keep pretending. At your age, you're not even a Dou Ancestor. Who are you trying to fool?!"

Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Elder Silver's face turned various shades of purple, but he just stared at Lin Xiu without saying a word.

The victor becomes the king!

"Lin Xiu, my brother and I are willing to serve you, as long as you spare our lives."

Elder Gold's words were clean and crisp, showing no sense of shame.

"Two peak Dou Emperors, indeed a good choice."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Xiu seemed to think it over and nodded, "This Black-Corner Region is truly a place that hones people. The two of you know when to advance and retreat, truly remarkable individuals."

Elder Gold's face showed a hint of joy, a trace of malice flickering deep in his eyes, but he didn't reveal any flaws on the surface.

"If you want to follow me, I need to test your sincerity first."

Lin Xiu glanced at the two of them, "Who came up with the idea to capture Zi Yan and threaten me? Who were the participants?"

Elder Gold promptly and straightforwardly implicated Han Feng.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu was not surprised, as he had already suspected it.

Next, he signaled the elders to take Elder Silver away to a distance and then separately questioned them about their assets and whether they had any valuable items hidden somewhere.

Additionally, Lin Xiu specifically mentioned that he would verify the information with the other person.

Despite feeling a great sense of loss internally, Elder Gold didn't dare to gamble with his life.

Reaching the level of Dou Emperor wasn't easy; as long as he could stay alive, there was nothing he couldn't give up.

After obtaining the information, Lin Xiu indeed went to verify it with Elder Silver, and their stories matched almost exactly.

"We've told you all our secrets. Now you should trust us, right? Can you release our restraints?"

Elder Gold looked at Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu slowly retreated, heading toward the elders.

"Lin Xiu, are you really not going to kill them? Are you planning to keep them?"

Before the elder could speak, Yan Hao eagerly asked.

Two peak Dou Emperors, working together, could even resist a Dou Ancestor for a while. Such figures were rare in the Black-Corner Region.

The elders looked at Lin Xiu, curious about his answer.

From their perspective, they naturally hoped Lin Xiu wouldn't keep these two. After all, the Gold and Silver Elders were highly notorious in the Black-Corner Region, extremely cunning, and without control measures, there was a risk of betrayal.

Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Xiu asked Yan Hao, "Brother Hao, what is your proudest achievement to date?"

"Of course, it's my fourth place ranking on the Strong List."

Yan Hao answered without hesitation. After he spoke, he felt a bit puzzled. Why did Lin Xiu suddenly ask that?

Lin Xiu patted his chest, "Next time, you can brag to others that you, a 1-Star Dou King, hammered two peak Dou Emperors to death."

Huh?

Yan Hao was stunned at first, then he realized what Lin Xiu meant, his eyes widening.

"What? There's nothing wrong with that. I did let them go, right?"

Lin Xiu smiled slightly, "Brother Hao, bring me their spatial rings. Don't forget, and don't miss the other one either."

A look of excitement appeared on Yan Hao's face. He nodded and silently took out his large hammer.

In the valley, a string of unpleasant curses echoed, but after three dull thuds, it fell silent.

"When we return to the Academy, I'll tell Lin Xiu Ya that I, Yan Hao, personally killed the Gold and Silver Elders."

After handing the three Spatial Rings to Lin Xiu, Yan Hao grinned with a proud expression.

"I can vouch for it."

Lin Xiu smiled and agreed. Then, he looked at the elders, "You all go ahead. I need to take care of something and will catch up soon."

The elders glanced at the nearby woman with curiosity but refrained from asking too much.

After all, she was a Dou Ancestor. If they accidentally angered her, they wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Watching them leave, Lin Xiu walked straight to Medusa, "Congratulations on fully becoming a Dou Ancestor. Now it's time to fulfill your promise and give me your blood."

"You're talking about promises with me?"

Medusa's expression suddenly turned cold, and her fingers lightning-fast grabbed Lin Xiu's neck.

However, this time she didn't exert any force.

Noticing that Lin Xiu didn't dodge and his gaze remained unchanged, she revealed a hint of surprise, "You're not afraid of me?"
