Starting from Douluo to Capture Goddesses

"Since you are set in your ways, then don't blame us for being impolite." After Rob finished speaking, he attacked Xu Ran directly.

A fierce punch came hurtling towards Xu Ran.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li also made a move against Xu Ran.

A Great Fighter and two Dou Shi, these were the peak combat forces of this city.

"Making the wrong choice comes with a price." As soon as Xu Ran finished speaking, he clenched his fist and smashed it towards Rob.

Boom!

The moment Xu Ran's fist made contact with Rob's body, he was pulverized into a mist of blood, spraying everywhere. A second later, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were also kicked away by Xu Ran.

Xu Ran didn't use his full strength, sparing their lives, but the force was still enough to leave them severely injured.

"Since you've come! All of you can go die!" Xu Ran stomped his foot heavily, and in an instant, the hard ground completely shattered, the tremendous shockwave tore everyone's body to shreds.

The next moment, Xu Ran, accompanied by Qing Lin, headed to the headquarters of the Sand Mercenary Group and slaughtered everyone there.

The Mo Tie Mercenary Corps did not escape the carnage either, though Xu Ran did spare a few lives there.

"All dead. They're all dead."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's eyes were vacant.

They had never imagined that their decision would bring such a catastrophe upon the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps.

The mercenary group they had worked so hard to maintain for so many years was destroyed in a flash.

"Witch!"

"It's all because of you!"

"Back then, everyone said you had an inferior bloodline, and out of pity, we brought you back to the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps. Is this how you repay us? If we had known that you'd bring such calamity upon the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps, we would've killed you sooner!" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li spat out hatefully at Qing Lin.

They blamed everything on Qing Lin.

If it weren't for Qing Lin, how could Xu Ran possibly make a move against them? How could they have offended such a powerful enemy? And how could the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps possibly face such a disaster?

"Slap! Two useless trash!"

"I can't believe how despicable you two turned out to be. If you had helped when Qing Lin was bullied back then, it wouldn't have come to this. I had given you a chance already; if you hadn't wallowed in corruption with Rob, how could today have come to pass? Everything is the result of your own doing, and yet you remain clueless, shifting the blame onto Qing Lin, which is utterly ludicrous."

"The Mo Tie Mercenary Corps has come to this because of your actions. You handed over Qing Lin so eagerly just because you were afraid of Rob. You've lost your basic humanity. Two grown men, with no ambition, are content to live a wretched existence in such a manner..." Xu Ran said indifferently, harboring no positive feelings towards them.

In the original story, if it weren't for Xiao Yan, the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps would have been wiped out by the Sand Mercenary Group; but now, they'd been annihilated by his hand.

"This is our fault? No! It's all because of this witch! If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened," Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were crazed with delusion.

Because Xu Ran was far stronger than them, their hatred for him was not as intense, instead, they harbored endless resentment towards Qing Lin.

Especially considering that Qing Lin had already become so terrifyingly powerful, they knew her future would be wonderful, which only intensified their anger.

In the past, Qing Lin was just a servant of the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps. Moreover, it was their pity that had given her the opportunity to be a servant; otherwise, she would have been sold at the Dark Slave Auction already.

The Dark Slave Auction, a place where slaves are sold.

"Brother Xu Ran, I..." Qing Lin hung her head low, her good-hearted self feeling utterly devastated inside. Knowing what the former leaders of the Mo Tie Mercenary Corps thought of her, one could imagine her emotional state.

She was just a little girl, after all.

"Don't be sad— the guilty ones are them, not you. These guys, just watch how I'll take care of them, and it'll all be over," Xu Ran said as he took Qing Lin's hand, turning it into a sword. Sword Qi surged, countless streams of Sword Qi cleansing their bodies, slicing through their flesh.

Blood kept flowing out, and the intense pain made them moan continuously.

"Ah! You're not human!"

"Why are you doing this to us? You might as well kill us directly!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li howled in pain; at that moment, they even wished for death because it meant they wouldn't have to endure such agony.

So, this is what it feels like to wish death over life?

"Kill you? If I killed you, where would the fun be? Of course, it's more interesting when the three brothers are beaten together. If you died, what fun would there be when Xiao Yan arrives?" Xu Ran said with an evil tone.

"Who are you? What do you have to do with Little Flame?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's faces turned pale, realizing the situation was not as simple as they had thought— they had merely provoked an enemy, but it seemed there was more to it.

"Me? You should know me. In the Xiao Family, my reputation is not small at all. I am Xu Ran," Xu Ran said with a devilish grin.

In the Xiao Family, some people wished to worship him like a god.

But where did they understand his true nature?

He had no intention of helping the Xiao Family become stronger. Aside from Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, as well as Xun Er, he had no connection to the others.

"Xu Ran? Aren't you our Xiao Family's benefactor? Why would you do this?"

"We're from the Xiao Family too!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at Xu Ran with fear, as if they suddenly realized something.

"Was it you? Was it you who deliberately drove Little Flame out of the family? I knew our Xiao Family's place couldn't possibly attract a powerful benefactor— you must have had ulterior motives! Poor us, we previously thought Little Flame was the one who had done wrong? Clearly, you took away Little Flame's fiancée, you're despicable!" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li despaired.

What they feared most now was the Xiao Family.

The Xiao Family had let the wolf into the house, but they didn't realize the kind of devil they had welcomed.

Now, the three brothers were finished.

In Xu Ran's hands, there couldn't be a good ending.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was still on his way.

"What's going on, why do my eyelids keep twitching? Could something have happened to my brothers?" Xiao Yan, seeing the city close at hand, felt uneasy.

His intuition told him something must have happened there.

"Such a strong scent of blood." Yao Lao also smelled the stench of blood and didn't dare to delay; his past experiences warned him that Xu Ran might be there. By now, he himself was starting to fear Xu Ran.

He always had the feeling that Xu Ran knew everything about them, this sensation of being completely transparent made him feel as if all his secrets were exposed before Xu Ran.
