Jianchen frowned when he saw the mercenary kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. He looked down on people like this from the bottom of his heart.
"Fei Lan, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up. You've thrown away all of our faces. At worst, we'll just die. What's there to be afraid of?" One of the mercenaries immediately scolded when he saw the mercenary kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
"Fei Lan, you coward. I don't usually have a brother like you."
When the mercenary called Fei Lan knelt down, his other companions looked at him differently. Their eyes were filled with disdain.
Jianchen's gaze slowly swept across the faces of the other mercenaries. His eyes revealed a trace of admiration. Jianchen looked down on people who were cowards.
"Do you guys have anything else to say?" Jianchen didn't even look at the mercenary kneeling and kowtowing as he spoke to the others.
Hearing this, the mercenaries looked at each other. At this moment, a trace of sadness and regret appeared in their eyes. Obviously, they also understood that their fate was very likely to be staying here forever. They wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"If you want to kill us, then do as you please. There's nothing to say." A mercenary with a more stubborn temper said hatefully. Jianchen only used his fists and legs to defeat them in a short span of a few breaths. The strength he displayed had already made the mercenaries give up on the idea of running away. Everyone knew that the chances of escaping alive were close to zero.
"Now, I'll give you a chance to live. Hand over all the monster cores above Class 2 on you, and then you can leave. Otherwise, only death awaits you. You can decide for yourself what you want to do." Jian Chen's voice was extremely gentle.
Hearing this, the mercenaries didn't hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement. Then, they all obediently took out all the magic cores above rank 2 from their spatial belts and placed them on the ground one by one. Although they were very reluctant, they weren't stupid and knew what to do at this time.
Jianchen glanced at the less than ten magic cores in front of the mercenaries and said, "Hand over the magic cores."
Immediately, a mercenary picked up the magic cores on the ground and obediently handed them to Jianchen. Reaching out to take the magic cores that the mercenary handed over, Jianchen waved his hand and said, "Go, go, I'm in a good mood today so I'll let you guys go for now. If there's a next time, I won't be so kind."
The mercenaries didn't dare to stay in the slightest and immediately fled with their tails between their legs. Seeing the mercenaries disappear into the forest, Jianchen smiled and put away the magic cores into his spatial belt. Kneading his fists, he murmured, "I don't know how many years it's been since I used my fists and legs to beat someone. Although I'm a little rusty, it feels pretty good."
"Rank 2 magic beasts shouldn't be easy to kill for those mercenaries. Not only were they taught a lesson by me, I even took away the few rank 2 magic cores they had. They probably won't let this matter go so easily. I reckon that many people will soon know that I, Jianchen, have appeared in this area. Hehe, I wonder how many people will be blinded by the ten thousand Purple Crystal Coins. I hope the people who come aren't too weak. Otherwise, this little plan of mine will soon be ruined."
"I must take advantage of this good opportunity to reap a large harvest. In any case, those people are all here to capture me, so they are all enemies. Against enemies, there's no need for me to hold back. Moreover, the law of the jungle is the law of survival in this world."
Jianchen's face gradually revealed a trace of expectation. Due to the fact that the amount of magic cores he used on his path of cultivation was ten times or even a hundred times that of others, he had no choice but to think of ways to obtain more magic cores. Because of the two spots of light in his dantian, one purple and one green, Jianchen had no choice but to give up on absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth to cultivate. He could only rely on magic cores to increase his strength.
Not long after the mercenaries that had been released by Jianchen left, they immediately spread the news of Jianchen's location. One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred. Jianchen's location quickly spread throughout the entire Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Immediately, those mercenaries who had received the news and were still blindly searching everywhere, as well as various powers, all rushed to the place where Jianchen had appeared.
At this moment, Jianchen was still at his original location and had not left. He was hiding in a large tree that was more than thirty meters tall. The dense foliage had completely covered his tracks, but through the gaps between the branches and leaves, he could faintly see the situation below.
Not long after, a group of approximately forty people slowly passed by the tree that Jianchen was hiding in. This group of people wore steel helmets and armor, and every one of them was armed to the teeth. As the group moved, there was not the slightest bit of disorder in their formation. From the looks of it, they were a group of well-trained soldiers.
When Jianchen saw the group of mercenaries below through the gaps between the leaves, the name of a mercenary group quickly surfaced in his mind. Immediately, his face became somewhat gloomy, and an intense killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Following the sound of leaves rustling, Jianchen had already jumped down from the large tree that he was hiding in.
"Who's there …"
"Careful, there's someone on the tree …"
Just as Jianchen made the sound, someone from the group of armored mercenaries below immediately shouted loudly. Immediately, all of them took out their Holy Weapons and vigilantly stared upwards.
Jianchen's feet pushed against the tree trunk, and his body glided through the air for nearly twenty meters. Finally, like a feather, he landed on the ground, just in time to block the group of mercenaries.
"Who are you?!"
The armored mercenary at the front stared sharply at Jianchen as he sternly shouted.
Jianchen's face was somewhat gloomy as he swept his gaze across the group of mercenaries. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any familiar faces. Finally, he opened his mouth and said, "You are the Zhou Mercenary Group." Jianchen's voice was somewhat gloomy.
"That's right, we are the Zhou Mercenary Group. Who are you, and why are you blocking our way?" The mercenary at the front said arrogantly.
The Zhou Mercenary Group's strength was not weak. Even in Wake City, they were ranked in the top five. Adding on the fact that they belonged to the Zhou Clan of Wake City, it was enough to make the members of the Zhou Mercenary Group feel proud.
After confirming the identity of the other party, a strong killing intent surged out from Jianchen's body. Immediately after, Jianchen did not waste any more words. The silver-white Light Wind Sword appeared in his hand, and in a flash, he charged towards the Zhou Mercenary Group.
