After all, the cub was a living creature and couldn't be placed in a spatial belt. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to survive. If they were to leave the cub outside, there was a high chance that they would meet people who knew their stuff. Once the news of the Golden Fur Tiger King's cub was leaked out, it would attract a lot of experts or powerful forces. With the Flame Mercenary Group's current strength, they simply didn't have the ability to deal with these matters. Moreover, the cub was a living creature and couldn't be placed in a spatial belt.

Once the news of the Golden Fur Tiger King's cub was leaked out, it would definitely attract a lot of experts or powerful forces.

"Hahahahaha, since you don't have the ability to bring this Golden Tiger King cub out, then you might as well just give it to us."
Just at that moment, a burst of loud laughter suddenly rang out. The voice was filled with unconcealable excitement. Soon after, a figure flickered in the darkness and a large group of people suddenly appeared, quickly surrounding the Flame Mercenary Group. There were nearly twenty people in total, all of them wearing armor and helmets. Many of their armors were broken and had bloodstains on them. It was obvious at a glance that they had been through a battle.
Seeing the sudden appearance of such a large group of people, the expressions of the Flame Mercenary Group immediately became ugly. However, when they saw the small insignia hanging on their chests, all of their expressions changed greatly. Captain Kendall's face was somewhat pale as he stared at these people and said in a low voice, "It's actually the Zhou Mercenary Group." His voice was somewhat trembling.
"Hahahaha, at least you have some insight to recognize us. If you know what's good for you, then immediately hand over the cub to us. Otherwise, you should know the consequences." The person who spoke seemed to be the leader. The leader indifferently swept his gaze over the Flame Mercenary Group, his eyes filled with disdain. Then, his gaze landed on the little cub that was eating the meat with relish in front of the bonfire. The excitement in his eyes was difficult to conceal.
Not a single person from the Flame Mercenary Group spoke. Everyone's expression became incomparably serious.
Jianchen's gaze swept over the armored members of the Zhou Mercenary Group. Just by sensing their auras, he already had a rough idea of the Zhou Mercenary Group's strength. Among them, aside from two Saint Masters, everyone else had the strength of a Great Saint. Moreover, even the two Saint Masters were a level higher than Captain Kendall, having reached the level of a Mid Saint.
Jianchen inwardly let out a sigh of relief. At least these people in front of him.. as long as there weren't any Saint Masters, there wouldn't be any big problems.
"Ao!" "Roar!"
At this moment, the little cub had already finished eating the meat in its mouth. Its small eyes stared at the even larger pieces of meat on the bonfire as it continuously cried out. It looked like it still wasn't full, completely unaware that danger had already descended upon it.
Jian Chen slowly squatted down and carefully held the little beast in his arms. Immediately, the gazes of the twenty or so people from the Zhou Mercenary Group all fell on Jian Chen. Each and every one of them stared fiercely at him, filled with killing intent.
"Brat, hurry up and give the cub to me. Otherwise, you'll die right now." The leader of the Zhou Mercenary Group yelled at Jianchen.
Hearing this, Jianchen calmly stared at the person who spoke. Not only was he not angry at all, he even had a slight smile on his face as he calmly said, "I'm afraid that even if I give the cub to you, you still won't let us go. That's because you're afraid that we'll leak the news and bring you a completely avoidable trouble. Moreover, it'll be an extremely big trouble."
The leader coldly laughed as he stared at Jianchen. He coldly said, "You're very smart, but sometimes, the smarter a person is, the faster they'll die. Therefore, sometimes, people shouldn't be too smart. If they're stupid, they'll live a little longer." Following his words, a powerful Saint Force gathered in the leader's hand and quickly formed a long sword.
The leader held the long sword in his hand and pointed it at Jianchen. He said in a deep voice, "Brat, I'll give you one last chance. Obediently hand over the cub. Otherwise, I swear that you'll die a very miserable death." As soon as the leader finished speaking, the other members of the Zhou Mercenary Group all drew their Saint Weapons. At the same time, their presences radiated from their bodies, pressing toward Jianchen.
At the same time, the Flame Mercenary Group did not back down either. They all took out their own Saint Weapons and vigilantly stared at the surrounding Zhou Mercenary Group. Every single one of them had an unprecedentedly solemn expression on their faces. They knew very well that even if they were to hand the infant over to the Zhou Mercenary Group, the Zhou Mercenary Group would not let them go. If they were in the same situation, they would also do the same. Since they were going to die no matter what, they might as well go all out. Even if they were to die, they would drag someone down with them. Even if they could not, they would not let the Zhou Mercenary Group off so easily.
Seeing the reactions of the Flame Mercenaries, a sliver of disdain appeared in the eyes of the leader of the Zhou Mercenary Group. He then turned to Jianchen and said in a deep voice, "Brat, are you really not going to hand it over? If you hand over the cub, I can let you live." Now that the cub was in Jianchen's hands, the leader did not dare to act rashly before Jianchen released the cub. He was afraid that Jianchen would kill the Class 5 cub if he pressured him too much.
Jian Chen clearly understood the leader's concerns and could not help but chuckle. He held the squealing cub in his left hand and gently stroked the cub's furry head with his right hand. He smiled and said, "Since you want this cub so much, why don't you come and take it? Are you saying you don't have the guts to come and take it even though you have the guts to ask for it?"
The leader stared at Jianchen with an extremely sharp gaze. He had a bad feeling about Jianchen's calm expression because Jianchen's demeanor was far too abnormal. He could not figure out what was going on.
The leader tilted his head slightly and said to a mercenary beside him, "You, go and take the cub!"
"Yes!" The mercenary did not hesitate in the slightest. He immediately and carefully walked forward, attempting to snatch the cub from Jianchen's hands.
When the mercenary arrived in front of Jianchen with a face full of vigilance, Jianchen did not make the slightest move. He still stood there with a smile on his face. Even so, the mercenary did not dare to relax in the slightest. He slowly extended his hand and carefully tried to grab the cub in Jianchen's hands.
At the same time, the Zhou Mercenary Company's mercenaries also tightened their grip on the Holy Weapons in their hands as they stared at Jianchen. The leader also became nervous.
Very quickly, the mercenary's hand successfully grabbed the cub. He did not care about the cub's fierce struggle as he slowly lifted it up. From the beginning to the end, the mercenary was very careful and was always on guard against Jianchen's sudden attack.
However, Jianchen's gaze turned cold as a silver-white longsword suddenly appeared in his right hand. It then turned into a silver-white ray of light and pierced towards the mercenary's throat with lightning speed.
Even though the mercenary had always been on guard against Jian Chen, the speed of this sword was still too fast for him. The mercenary could only see a flash of silver-white light, and then he felt a pain in his throat, and in front of him, a silver-white longsword suddenly appeared. In the next moment, an intense feeling of suffocation came over him, and the mercenary didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell to the ground. The fifth-level cub in his hand also fell to the ground from the air, crying out in pain.
Jianchen's sword was really too fast. Even though the mercenary was always on guard against Jianchen's sudden attack, when Jianchen moved towards him, he was still unable to dodge the sword that had already surpassed his mental reaction.
The leader of the Zhou Mercenary Company stared blankly at the mercenary whose throat was pierced by Jianchen's sword. His face was full of disbelief and his heart was filled with horror. Jianchen's sudden sword was so fast that even with his strength as a high level Saint Master, he could only catch a vague shadow of the sword. He could not see it clearly at all.
In a short moment, the leader came back to his senses and forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart. He immediately ordered, "Everyone, attack! Kill without mercy. Be careful not to hurt the cub." After saying that, a huge sword appeared in the leader's hand. With powerful energy fluctuations, it whistled towards Jianchen with an ear-piercing sound.
In the Zhou Mercenary Company, a huge sword also appeared in the hand of another Saint Master. He cooperated with the leader and swung his huge sword towards Jianchen. From Jianchen's sword, the two of them could see that Jianchen was not so easy to deal with. As a result, the only two Saint Masters in the Zhou Mercenary Company actually tacitly agreed to attack Jianchen at the same time.
On the other side, the Flame Mercenary Company also clashed with the rest of the Zhou Mercenary Company. Both sides began an intense battle. The members of the Flame Mercenary Company did not scatter. Instead, they gathered together and formed a circle, protecting Xiao Dao's group of three who were only Saints. This was because Xiao Dao's group of three who were only Saints could not interfere in this kind of battle. They would only be sending themselves to their deaths. The other five Great Saints and Kendall, who was a low level Saint Master, fought against the Zhou Mercenary Company outside the circle.
However, due to the great difference in strength and numbers, the Flame Mercenary Company was at a complete disadvantage not long after the battle began. They were basically completely suppressed by the Zhou Mercenary Company and could only defend.
