Feng Yixiao had always been an unruly and prideful person. Coupled with the fact that he was a mighty Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler, how could he endure the provocation of someone who was as weak as an ant in his eyes? Even though he feared the Flame Mercenaries very much, he could not endure the mockery of an ant.
"Gu Tu, do you really think that I'll let you go just because you've joined the Flame Mercenaries? Wrong. You underestimate me far too much. Anyone that I want to kill must die, "Feng Yixiao coldly said. Feng Yixiao said coldly. With that, he had already left behind a blur, charging towards Gu Tu with great speed. He arrived beside Gu Tu in a single instance and extended his right hand towards Gu Tu's throat. Surging power of god surged from his right hand, and it seemed to have transformed into an extremely sharp wolf claw.
Gu Tu never thought that Feng Yixiao would actually be bold enough to attack him here. He paled in fright as he retreated as quickly as he could, dodging Feng Yixiao's lightning-fast claw with everything he had.
The difference in strength between him and Feng Yixiao was just too great. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a chasm. The only thing Gu Tu could do was dodge Feng Yixiao's attack. He did not even have the ability to block it.
Blood splattered in the air. Even though Gu Tu had used everything he had, he was still unable to completely dodge Feng Yixiao's attack. His neck had been reduced to a bloody mess by Feng Yixiao's claw, and a large chunk of flesh had been ripped off. It was a terrifying sight.
Warm blood spurted from Gu Tu's neck like a fountain, blooming into a beautiful flower in the air. Gu Tu held the wound on his neck with one hand as he retreated. His eyes were filled with intense fear. The wound on his neck was fatal to Heaven Saint Masters, but as a Saint Ruler, they would not die even if their bodies rotted away as long as their souls remained.
"Greedy king … y- you're declaring war on the Flame Mercenaries! The great captain will never let you go!" Gu Tu shouted as he flew backwards in a panic. As his throat had suffered a serious injury, his voice was hoarse.
Feng Yixiao remained silent. His face was sunken, filled with coldness and heavy killing intent. With a single movement, he shot past the four other Saint Rulers and pursued Gu Tu.
"Greedy King, you're too impudent. You actually dare to declare war on the Flame Mercenaries. Four great protectors, please immediately teach the Greedy King a lesson and protect the authority of the Flame Mercenaries. The dignity and honor of our Flame Mercenaries cannot be trampled upon by the Greedy King in such an unbridled manner. Otherwise, once the captain blames us, none of us will be able to bear the consequences." Gu Tu anxiously called out. He wanted to persuade the four other Saint Rulers to keep the king of greed busy.
The four Saint Rulers immediately shivered inside when they heard the word 'captain'. The light in their eyes began to flicker as they became hesitant. They all felt fear and respect for the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, who had reached the level of the Holy Emperor. If the captain blames them, they really would not be able to bear the consequences.
Perhaps because he sensed the change in their minds, Feng Yixiao suddenly turned around and glanced at them coldly. The four Saint Rulers felt their hearts skip a beat when they saw that glance. They trembled all over. At that moment, the four of them actually felt like they were suffocating, which made them feel extremely shocked.
This was not the first time the four of them had experienced something like this. However, only the Holy Emperor could make them feel so fearful, yet they could actually feel it from Feng Yixiao right now. The four of them found it rather unbelievable.
"This Greedy King Feng Yixiao should be able to successfully break through to the level of the Holy Emperor very soon." At this moment, the four of them thought the same thing at the same time. They also felt some envy.
"Four Protectors, listen up.
This is a personal enmity between me and Gu Tu. It has nothing to do with you. If you interfere, then don't blame me for not giving the Flame Mercenaries any face, "Feng Yixiao said coldly before continuing his pursuit of Gu Tu.
The four protectors all remained where they were. They did not move no matter how Gu Tu tried to incite them. They feared Feng Yixiao's strength, and since he had already said something like that, they would not be stupid enough to seek their own deaths.
Gu Tu was unable to fight back at all before Feng Yixiao. He was covered in wounds now. Aside from the wound on his neck, Feng Yixiao had even scratched a fist-sized hole in his chest. His heart had already disappeared, reduced to mush in Feng Yixiao's hands. He had lost one of his arms, so he was in an extremely horrible state.
"Gu Tu, I'd like to see how you'll escape this time. But don't worry, I won't kill you immediately. I'll torture you viciously and then you'll die in excruciating pain." Feng Yixiao sneered. His right hand seemed to have transformed into a sharp wolf's claw as it constantly swept across Gu Tu's body, causing chunks of flesh and blood to fly into the air.
Gu Tu was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He could not help but shriek out miserably from the intense pain. He hissed, "Greedy King, the captain won't spare you. If you kill me today, you'll end up like me before long. I'll be waiting for you in hell."
With that, Gu Tu produced another grunt. A piece of flesh on his waist had been ripped off by Feng Yixiao.
"Stop. How can I let you humiliate a great protector of the Flame Mercenaries like this?" An old but loud voice suddenly rang out from the city lord's estate. Afterward, an old man furiously flew into the sky. He radiated with a heavy and powerful presence.
Feng Yixiao glanced at Bi Hai who had flown up from below. He said, "Another Seventh Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler has come, but you still can't stop me. Gu Tu, I originally wanted you to live a little longer, but it looks like I have no choice but to finish you off immediately to avoid unnecessary trouble." Feng Yixiao stopped tormenting Gu Tu. With a thought, the space around Gu Tu suddenly froze, trapping his bloodied body. He was unable to move at all.
This was a Spatial Technique used by a Ninth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler. The frozen space was so tough that even Gu Tu needed to use his full strength to break through it several times in his peak condition. Now that he was heavily injured, he could not even use thirty percent of his strength, so he was helpless against the frozen space. All he could do was watch as the murderous Greedy King rapidly approached him.
"Bi Hai, save me!" Gu Tu cried out for help in a panic. He was filled with fear before the threat of death. Unfortunately, as soon as he had finished speaking, Feng Yixiao's right hand had already stabbed deeply into his head.
Gu Tu suddenly froze before becoming limp, as if he had lost all his strength. His widened eyes rapidly lost their luster as well. His soul was unable to escape in time, having been wiped out by Greedy King.
"How dare you! Sir, you're the first person who dares to kill a great protector of the Flame Mercenaries so openly!" Bi Hai roared out. He was utterly furious. At the same time, a huge sword that was as wide as a palm appeared in his hand. Pure and powerful water-attributed Saint Force coiled around the huge sword. Terrifying pulses of energy caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly, beginning to distort.
"Fourth move of the Traceless Water, Soulchase!"
Bi Hai also knew that Feng Yixiao was very powerful, so he bellowed out and directly used a Saint Tier Battle Skill. Immediately, a tremendous pressure descended from the sky, crushing down on Feng Yixiao like an invisible mountain. The tremendous pressure caused Feng Yixiao's body to sink slightly in the air.
The Battle Skills of the Bi family had a total of four moves, which were the Human Tier, Earth Tier, Heaven Tier, and Saint Tier. The fourth Saint Tier Battle Skill was split into two moves. The first was an offensive move, Soulchase, while the second was an escape technique, Absolute Rebirth.
Bi Hai was completely enveloped by a dense layer of blue light. He raised his huge sword high into the air before slashing out with lightning-like speed. The strike easily ripped through space, causing the space before him to rip apart like a piece of paper. It extended toward Feng Yixiao at an unbelievable speed.
If one were to sense it carefully, it would not be difficult to discover that there was an indiscernible ripple of energy hidden within the rapidly expanding space. It was the ripple of energy that caused space to constantly rip apart. Although it did not create an earth-shaking disturbance, its great power was clearly visible.
Feng Yixiao pulled his right hand out of Gu Tu's head. He did not even glance at Gu Tu's corpse, allowing it to fall to the ground. He said, "I never thought you would know a Saint Tier Battle Skill as well. It really is powerful. With your strength at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, it's more than enough to deal with regular Ninth Heavenly Layer experts. Unfortunately, you've encountered me, the Avaricious King, Feng Yixiao."
The Avaricious King remained composed against Bi Hai's Saint Tier Battle Skill. He directly threw out a punch, and surging energy surged out from his fist. It immediately condensed into a wolf that collided with Bi Hai's Saint Tier Battle Skill.
The energy wolf collided with the sword wave that could easily cut through space. The two of them actually disappeared without a sound. They didn't even cause any ripples. They turned back into waves of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and dissipated between heaven and earth.
