This sudden turn of events caused the Heaven Defying Mercenary Group and the Raging Flame Mercenary Group to simultaneously stop the battle that was about to erupt. Then, they stared at the entrance of the Kai Family in shock.
At the place where the explosion had just occurred, there was already a two-meter-deep crater. The floor, which was completely paved with marble, had become tattered. Around the crater, thick cracks had appeared and spread in all directions. ,
Both the Flame Mercenaries and the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries were stunned when they saw the two meter deep crater. Just what kind of strength was needed to cause such damage? However, they were certain that even if a Great Saint Master used a battle skill, it would still be impossible to reach such a level. After all, this was a hard marble floor. It was extremely hard, not as soft as the mud in the wilderness.
The people of the Heaven Defying Mercenaries and Kyle's group all looked at the end of the street. Their faces were solemn as they felt uneasy. They all understood that even if the person who could cause such destruction was not an Earth Saint Master, they were definitely Great Saint Masters who had grasped a battle skill. Their strength was not on the same level as theirs, so they did not know if they were friend or foe.
The sky grew darker and darker. At this moment, night had already shrouded the earth. Under the nervous gazes of the Heaven Defying Mercenary Group and the Raging Flame Mercenary Group, a light sound of hoof beats slowly came from the end of the street. Shortly after, seven figures riding on magical beast mounts appeared in everyone's line of sight, slowly approaching the Kai Family's courtyard with slow steps. Due to the distance, the Heaven Defying Mercenary Group and the Raging Flame Mercenary Group were unable to clearly see the appearance of these people in the dark night.
Seeing the seven figures slowly approaching, the representative of the Heaven Defying Mercenaries, the one-armed man, hesitated for a moment before striding forward. He clasped his hands and said, "I am the captain of the Heaven Defying Mercenaries, the one-armed man. Greetings to the seniors."
The seven people walking towards them didn't speak a word. They were riding on their magic beasts, slowly walking from the end of the street. A moment later, they approached the gate of the Kai Family. At this time, Kyle's group of four and the one-armed man's group finally saw the faces of these people. However, both sides were surprised, because among these seven people, besides the two middle-aged men who were walking on the side, the rest of them were all young men.
"Looks like these people are most likely disciples of some large aristocratic family, and that attack just now must have been launched by the two middle-aged men walking at the very side. Even such experts can only act as guards. Just how powerful is the background behind this group of people?" The one-armed man secretly guessed, but on the surface, he did not dare to show the slightest bit of negligence. He quickly put on a respectful smile and said, "You young masters must be passing by. My apologies, my apologies, we really shouldn't have blocked your path. We will make way for you." After he finished speaking, the one-armed man quickly ordered the members of the Heaven Defying Mercenaries to make way.
"Young masters, I am the leader of the Against the Heavens Mercenary Group. Although my strength is not enough to enter the young master's eyes, there is nothing in Wake City that cannot be done. In the future, if there is anything that the young master needs, please do not hesitate to ask. Young masters, now that the path is clear, please!" The one-armed man cupped his hands towards them and then warmly gestured for them to follow him.
At this moment, the one-armed man's attention was completely focused on Jianchen's group on their magical beast mounts. He simply did not notice the expressions of the four people standing outside the Kai family's courtyard. All he saw was that the four of them were focused on Jianchen's face. Their faces were filled with excitement and disbelief.
Although Jianchen had left Wake City for two years, Kyle and the others could still clearly recognize him. The captain who had left them for two years to participate in the Mercenary Conference had finally returned. In this moment of life and death, he was like a savior who had appeared in front of them.
At this moment, the flames of hope were once again ignited in their eyes. It was as if they had seen the dawn of victory and not the gloominess of death.
Seeing the one-armed man's flattering appearance, Jianchen, who was sitting in the middle, couldn't help but smile. However, it was not a smile, but a cold smile. His gaze slowly swept over the four people standing in front of the Kai family's gate. A trace of killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes as he said with a fake smile, "You are the one-armed man, right? I will remember you."
The one-armed man simply didn't think that the youth in front of him was the captain of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group, Jianchen. He only thought that this youth was a young master of some family who happened to be passing by. Therefore, he didn't hear the hidden meaning in Jianchen's words. But when he heard Jianchen's words, he was unable to contain his joy. With a face full of joy, he said, "It is my honor to have young master remember my name. Young master, now that the path has been cleared, I won't delay young master's precious time any longer. Young master, this way please."
Jianchen coldly smiled and said, "One-armed man, who said I was going to pass by here? This is the place I want to go."
Hearing this, the one-armed man was startled.
Jianchen's gaze suddenly sharpened as a tremendous killing intent radiated from his body, firmly enveloping the one-armed man. He growled, "One-armed man, do you know who I am?"
The one-armed man's face changed. With his strength as a Great Saint Master, how could he resist the killing intent of a Heaven Saint Master? He immediately felt like he had fallen into a bottomless pit of ice as his entire body became indescribably cold.
The one-armed man turned pale with fright. He had never thought that the young man who should be a young master of an aristocratic family in his eyes would emit such a huge killing intent. He was inexplicably shocked and panicked. He didn't know how he had offended this powerful young master of an aristocratic family in front of him.
"Young master, could it be that One-armed Warrior has offended you in some way? Please tell me. " The one-armed man asked with a trembling voice. Although he did not know Jianchen's strength, just the killing intent that Jianchen radiated was enough to make him feel fear.
Jianchen looked down at the one-armed man from atop his magical beast and sneered, "One-armed man, listen up. I'm the person you just said died in Mercenary City, the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jian Chen!"
The one-armed man's eyes immediately narrowed to the size of a needle when he heard that. His face suddenly changed drastically as he stared at Jianchen in disbelief. Deep shock filled his eyes.
"What! Y- y- y- you're actually Jianchen!" The one-armed man was utterly shocked as his voice trembled.
The four people standing at the entrance of the Kai family all cried out uncontrollably when they heard Jianchen's words. They were extremely emotional.
"The captain, the captain has returned. The captain of the Flame Mercenaries has returned …"
"The captain has returned. The captain has returned from the Mercenary Gathering …"
… …
Kyle and the other three all let out excited cries. The several dozen members of the Flame Mercenaries gathered in the Kai family's courtyard all revealed excited smiles. At this moment, they, who were in the midst of death, seemed to have grasped onto a life-saving vine in the dark abyss and saw the dawn of victory.
Jianchen did not have the time to catch up with them when he saw their pale faces. He glared at the one-armed man and sneered, "One-armed man, you're quite bold to actually attack my Flame Mercenaries."
The one-armed man's face alternated between green and white. He looked at Jianchen's young and handsome face in both shock and fear. When he thought of the tremendous presence that Jianchen had just erupted with, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"You're actually the captain of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen? Didn't you go to the Mercenary Gathering? How did you come out alive?" The one-armed man asked with a trembling voice.
Jianchen sneered, "Cut the crap and hand over the antidote immediately!"
A gleam of light flashed through the one-armed man's eyes when he heard that. He immediately thought of a plan to escape. He pulled out a white jade bottle from his spatial belt and gripped it tightly in his hand before rapidly retreating. He immediately pulled away from Jianchen and stood twenty meters away, staring at Jianchen in fear. He said, "Jianchen, there's only one portion of the antidote. Do you believe that I won't smash it right now and make it so that you'll never be able to obtain the antidote for this combination of poisons?"
Jianchen stared at the one-armed man in disdain and sneered, "Do you still want to negotiate with me?"
The one-armed man glanced at Jianchen, Yun Zheng, and Senior An in fear. After witnessing their strength, his fear for them had reached a peak. However, in order to escape unscathed, he had no other choice. He had already poisoned the people of the Flame Mercenaries, so he knew that Jianchen would never let him go.
"Jianchen, you can obtain the antidote, but you have to swear that you'll let all of us leave safely," the one-armed man yelled out. Before Jianchen could reply, he waved his hand at the people of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries, "Brothers, retreat!"
The people of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries could tell that they were at a disadvantage, so they did not hesitate at all. They quickly put away their weapons and fled into the distance.
"You want to leave? Not so easy." Jianchen's face turned cold. He said with a heavy voice, "Ming Dong, Dugu Feng, Yun Zheng, Senior An, stop them. Kill everyone who tries to escape!"
"Haha, alright!" Ming Dong laughed and immediately flew up from his mount. His body turned into a faint cyan light in midair and disappeared in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the distance of a hundred meters and blocked the path of the Heaven-Defying Mercenary Group.
Dugu Feng, Yun Zheng, and Senior An all understood what role they were playing, so they did not resist Jianchen's orders at all. The three of them flew into the air at the same time and followed closely behind Ming Dong, blocking the path of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries.
Dugu Xia's face changed. He glared at the jade bottle in Jianchen's hand and yelled out, "Jianchen, this is the only antidote for my combination of poisons. Do you want everyone in the Flame Mercenaries to die from the poison?"
"You have no right to threaten me! Nor do you have the right to negotiate with me! " Jianchen said indifferently. With a thought, the energy in the surroundings began to wildly surge. It gathered around the one-armed man, locking him in place. Afterward, Jianchen opened his hand slightly and the antidote in the man's hand automatically flew into Jianchen's hand.
The one-armed man was only a Great Saint Master. He had never seen the abilities of a Heaven Saint Master before, so he was quite frightened by Jianchen's miraculous abilities. His face was filled with fear.
On the other side, the people of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries who had been stopped by Ming Dong and the others were stunned for a while before erupting with a yell.
"There's only a few of them. Let's go together and charge out!"
"Yeah, there's only four of them. There's so many of us. Let's go together and cut them down."
The people of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries all drew their Saint Weapons and charged toward Ming Dong's group.
