"You won't deceive me?," the Little Fairy Doctor said with an innocent expression as she removed the ring from her hand and extended it toward the middle-aged man.
"Of course, we brothers always keep our word," the middle-aged man replied confidently, stepping forward to take the ring from her hand.
As he observed the Little Fairy Doctor's naive demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. 'I'll make sure to give this little girl a good time later', he thought to himself.
However, what he failed to notice was the cold glint that flashed deep within the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.
Just as the middle-aged man reached out to take the ring, the Little Fairy Doctor made her move. The dou qi of a Four Star Dou Master surged into her palm.
"Folding Wave Palm!"
Before the middle-aged man could react, a sharp palm strike landed squarely on his chest.
"Ah!" he screamed as his body was sent flying backward for over ten meters, crashing into a tree trunk before finally coming to a stop.
After hitting the ground, he barely managed to utter the words, "Kill her," before losing consciousness.
The entire scene unfolded in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone present stunned. It wasn't until the middle-aged man collapsed that the masked men finally reacted.
"Kill her!" one of the masked fighters barked, and the rest immediately charged toward the Little Fairy Doctor.
After delivering the palm strike, the Little Fairy Doctor quickly retrieved a pill from her robes and placed it into Nalan Yanran's mouth.
"Senior Sister, be careful. I'll come to help you after dealing with this man," she said, her voice calm but urgent.
Without waiting for Nalan Yanran to fully process the situation, the Little Fairy Doctor turned to face the masked man.
By now, Nalan Yanran had regained her senses. Ignoring the shock in her heart, she drew her long sword with a cold expression and charged toward the other masked men, her strength as a Five Star Dou Practitioner fully unleashed.
A chaotic melee ensued.
The Little Fairy Doctor faced off against the Dou Master Realm opponent and two Eight-Star Dou Practitioners, while Nalan Yanran engaged the remaining two Seven Star Dou Practitioners.
Despite being outnumbered, the Little Fairy Doctor handled her opponents with ease, thanks to her Four-Star Dou Master strength.
Nalan Yanran, though only a Five-Star Dou Practitioner, held her own with her Black-Level combat techniques, never once falling into a disadvantage.
However, as the battle dragged on, Nalan Yanran's frequent use of her high-level combat skills began to drain her battle energy. Gradually, she started to lose ground.
Just as Nalan Yanran began to feel anxious, the expressions of the two masked men fighting her suddenly changed. Their movements slowed, and their attacks grew weaker.
"No, we've been poisoned!" one of the masked men exclaimed.
The others quickly realized something was wrong as well, sensing a strange sensation spreading through their bodies.
"Senior Sister, they've been hit by my Ten-Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder. They won't last much longer," the Little Fairy Doctor said as she fended off another attacker and moved to Nalan Yanran's side.
Hearing this, Nalan Yanran's heart surged with determination. Her sword strikes became even more ferocious.
"Damn it! Don't hold back, or we'll all die here!" the masked Dou Master Realm man shouted, gritting his teeth against the discomfort in his body as he charged toward the two women.
Seeing the five masked men recklessly rushing toward them, the Little Fairy Doctor's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, a purple brilliance erupted from behind her, and a pair of purple wings unfurled.
Before Nalan Yanran could react, the Little Fairy Doctor grabbed her and leaped into the air, soaring above the battlefield and breaking free from the encirclement.
"Dou Wings!"
The sight of the Little Fairy Doctor soaring into the sky left the five masked men utterly stunned.
'This little girl is actually a Dou King powerhouse?' they thought in disbelief.
After flying a short distance, the Little Fairy Doctor slowly descended, her breathing heavy. "Senior Sister, they won't last much longer with the Ten-Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder in their body. We just need to hold out a little longer," she said, her voice strained.
It hadn't been long since she had learned the Purple Cloud Wing technique, and her ability to glide was still limited. Moreover, the Dou Qi required to use the Purple Cloud Wing was immense. After just this short flight, the Little Fairy Doctor was nearly exhausted.
"Junior Sister, are you okay?" Nalan Yanran asked, her voice filled with concern. She quickly pulled out a recovery pill and placed it in the Little Fairy Doctor's mouth before taking one herself.
"I'm fine, just drained of dou qi," the Little Fairy Doctor replied weakly, her face pale.
Not far away, the five masked men, though terrified, quickly realized that the Little Fairy Doctor and Nalan Yanran had landed. "They can't hold on! Kill them!" the maskedman shouted, leading the charge once more.
"Damn it!" Nalan Yanran cursed under her breath.
She supported the exhausted Little Fairy Doctor, struggling to put more distance between themselves and their pursuers. In the Little Fairy Doctor's current state, if the five men caught up, they would be defenseless.
Fortunately, just as the masked men were about to close the gap, the Ten-Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder in their bodies finally took full effect.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!"
The masked men's legs gave out, and they collapsed to the ground, completely immobilized.
The Dou Master opponent managed to take a few more steps before finally succumbing to the poison and falling as well.
"Senior Sister, the poison has taken full effect," the Little Fairy Doctor said, her voice weak as she glanced back at the fallen men. With a sigh of relief, she finally lost consciousness.
"Junior Sister!" Nalan Yanran's expression changed as she quickly caught the Little Fairy Doctor, cradling her in her arms.
Seeing the paleness on her junior sister's face, Nalan Yanran felt a pang of guilt. 'If I hadn't held her back earlier, she wouldn't be in this state', she thought.
After gently laying the Little Fairy Doctor against a tree, Nalan Yanran turned her gaze toward the five masked men lying helpless on the ground.
A cold light flickered in her eyes as she raised her long sword, her killing intent palpable.
"You... deserve to die," she said coldly.
"Slash! Slash! Slash!"
After a series of screams, Nalan Yanran returned to the Little Fairy Doctor's side, her sword stained with blood.
"Junior Sister, we're finally safe," she murmured, her expression softening as she slumped down beside her.
If it hadn't been for her junior sister's desperate efforts today, the consequences would have been unthinkable. Nalan Yanran looked at the Little Fairy Doctor with deep gratitude.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a muffled sound emanated from Nalan Yanran's body, and her aura shifted slightly.
Feeling the breakthrough within her, she whispered to herself, "As the teacher said, surviving life-and-death battles truly leads to growth in strength."
