As he spoke, a huge, fiery-red sword had already appeared in Dugu Feng's hand. With a slight tremble of his arm, a fierce flame surged out. The scarlet-red flames began to roar on the huge sword. The bright red flames constantly flickered, illuminating the area and dispersing quite a bit of the darkness in the surroundings.
"How is this possible? Those are actually tangible flames!"
"Those are actually tangible flames! Heavens, he's actually an Earth Saint Master!"
"Everyone retreat! He's an Earth Saint Master!"
Seeing this scene, some of the experienced members of the Heaven-Defying Mercenary Group turned pale with fright. The morale they had just accumulated disappeared without a trace. They didn't have the slightest bit of courage to fight again, and they all retreated with frightened faces.
A sharp light flashed through Dugu Feng's eyes. He suddenly swung the huge sword in his hand and the flames on the sword dyed the sky red. A fiery-red ripple shot out from the tip of the sword, striking the street with lightning-like speed.
Boom!
Dust immediately rose up from the street. The tough marble was as fragile as tofu, easily creating a foot-wide crack that stretched across the entire street. Saint Force surged into the ground, causing the entire street to tremble slightly.
The members of the Heaven-Defying Mercenary Band all paled in fright when they sensed the might of Dugu Feng's casual strike. At that moment, all of them could not help but think that an Earth Saint Master was just too powerful.
Dugu Feng slowly pulled back his sword. He looked at the members of the Defiant Mercenaries emotionlessly and coldly said, "Whoever crosses this line will be killed without mercy!"
The Heaven Defying Mercenary Group's members were all huddled together, trembling with fear. The crack that crossed the entire street happened to be right in front of them. Everyone looked at this crack that seemed to represent death with pale faces, and no one dared to take a single step forward.
On the other side, the one-armed man also stared at the red-robed Dugu Feng in shock. His eyes were stunned. He found it very difficult to believe what had just happened. The captain of the Flame Mercenaries was actually able to command an Earth Saint Master.
In the tiny Lore City, Great Saint Masters could already be considered as peak experts. Even if the entire city was added together, there would not be more than twenty of them. As for Earth Saint Masters, they basically would not set foot in a small place like this. However, once they did, they would become peak experts without a doubt. Across the entire city, no one would be able to defeat them.
Now that the Raging Flame Mercenaries had an Earth Saint Master in their ranks, who would dare oppose them in Wake City?
The members of the Flame Mercenaries were also stunned by Dugu Feng's strength. But soon after, joy appeared on their faces. They were so excited that their bodies began to tremble. An Earth Saint Master actually listened to their captain's orders. didn't this mean that he was on their side?
After Jianchen took the antidote from the one-armed man, he threw it into Kyle's hands and said, "Quickly take the antidote and detoxify the poison!"
"Yes, captain!" Kyle and the others excitedly replied. They then opened the jade bottle and dripped a few drops of liquid into their mouths before passing the bottles down one by one.
There was an extremely large amount of antidote in the jade bottle, enough to detoxify everyone. Moreover, there was more than half of it left. It was not limited like the one-armed man had said. … …
After taking the antidote, the complexions of the members of the Flame Mercenaries rapidly improved. The poison in their bodies was quickly expelled and their lives were no longer in danger.
Jianchen jumped off his Class 3 Magical Beast mount and strode over to Kyle and the others. He said, "Looks like I really came at the right time. I just happened to save your lives. Many things must have happened in the past two years. Why don't I see Duo Kang, Seth, and Vaz? Where did they go?"
A trace of sorrow appeared on Kyle and the others' faces. He said, "Captain, we were useless. You left us such a powerful mercenary group, but only a few dozen people remain. Duo Kang, Seth, and Vaz also met with an accident a year ago and left us forever. Only the four of us remain from the seven of us."
Hearing that, Jianchen let out a long sigh inside. He felt a bit of pain. These seven people were the strongest people he had subdued and were also the pillars of the Flame Mercenaries. Jianchen was extremely concerned about these seven people.
Suddenly, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out from behind. The one-armed man who had regained his freedom suddenly leapt up from the ground while Jianchen was catching up with the members of the Flame Mercenaries. He flipped over the houses on the other side of the street in an attempt to escape.
Jianchen's gaze turned cold. Without even looking back, he extended a finger behind him. An azure-violet sword Qi shot out from the tip of his finger and tore through the air with unbelievable speed, directly striking the man's right arm.
"Argh!" The man cried out miserably. His only remaining arm had been severed from his body, falling from the sky. Blood spurted out like a fountain from where the arm had been severed, as if it was raining blood.
The man's body fell from the sky and landed on the ground in a horrible shape. He howled in pain. He only had one arm in the first place, which was why he was called the one-armed man. Now that he had lost his remaining arm, he was basically a cripple.
The expression of the members of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries changed when they saw the one-armed man become crippled. Their gazes toward Jianchen were filled with fear. The one-armed man was the strongest person in the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries. His fall was obviously a huge blow to the mercenaries.
Kyle and the others were shocked by Jianchen's strength once again when they saw how easily Jianchen had crippled the one-armed man's arm. However, their shock was soon replaced by joy. Jianchen was the captain of the Flame Mercenaries. It would be difficult for them not to soar in the future if they followed such a powerful captain.
"Captain's strength is unparalleled. You've truly broadened our horizons." Mo Tian couldn't help but exclaim. His voice was filled with excitement, and his eyes were brimming with tears. After witnessing Jianchen's strength with his own eyes once again, it was as if he could see the glorious future of the Flame Mercenaries. Under the leadership of such a powerful captain, it would be difficult for the Flame Mercenaries to not grow.
Jianchen smiled. He looked at Kyle and the others, as well as the sixty or so remaining members of the Flame Mercenaries. He praised, "All of you have done well. You are the pride of the Flame Mercenaries. In the future, I, Jianchen, will spare no effort to nurture all of you." After going through a trial of life and death, the remaining members of the Flame Mercenaries were undoubtedly the most trustworthy people Jianchen could trust. They were worth Jianchen's efforts to nurture.
At this moment, Jianchen had already decided that he would spare no effort to nurture these people.
Jianchen's words made Kyle and the others rejoice. They all expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, captain, for your nurturing."
Now, the people who had chosen to leave the Flame Mercenaries for survival all revealed expressions of regret. They glanced at the members of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries who were stuck here, unable to leave. Afterwards, they looked at the Flame Mercenaries whose reputation had soared because of their captain's sudden return. Shame appeared on the faces of the people who had chosen to leave earlier.
Previously, they had chosen to leave the Flame Mercenaries in order to survive and were forced to join the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries. They had originally thought that their lives were safe, but who would have thought that the situation would suddenly take such a huge turn? The Heaven-Defying Mercenaries who had originally held the upper hand had now fallen into such a dangerous situation with the sudden return of their captain. Whether they could leave safely today was up to the Flame Mercenaries. This caused the people who had chosen to betray the Flame Mercenaries to fall into an extremely awkward situation. They were filled with shame, not even daring to look at the brothers who had once fought alongside them in the Flame Mercenaries.
Jianchen calmly glanced at the people of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries, causing the people who had chosen to leave to lower their heads in shame, not daring to meet his gaze.
"It's better for you to deal with the people of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries. It's up to you whether you want to kill them or keep them." Jianchen said indifferently. He did not even glance at the people who had left.
"The One-Armed Hero and the experts in the Heaven Defying Mercenary Group must be eliminated. Their hands are stained with the blood of our brothers. We must take revenge for our dead brothers." Mo Tian gritted his teeth and spoke while his eyes were burning with raging flames of fury.
The expressions of the Great Saint Masters of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries all changed when they heard that. They looked at each other before rising into the air at the same time, fleeing in different directions.
They had indeed killed quite a few people from the Flame Mercenaries, so they knew that they would not be able to escape death if they stayed. Since that was the case, they might as well take a gamble. Perhaps they would still have a chance of escaping.
Ming Dong sneered and sneered, "If we let you escape right under our noses, we won't be able to explain ourselves to our brothers." While speaking, Ming Dong and Dugu Feng each sent out several powerful Sword Qis, cutting the bodies of several Saint Masters who were trying to escape in half. A rain of blood poured down, dyeing the sky red.
Seeing how the strongest person in their mercenaries had been killed in a single blow, the other members of the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries could not help but become even paler. They stared at Ming Dong and Dugu Feng in fear.
"Captain Jianchen, spare us! Captain Jianchen, spare us! We're willing to leave the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries and join your Flame Mercenaries. We're willing to do anything for you. Please, captain Jianchen, spare us. We still have wives and children to take care of."
"Captain Jianchen, spare us …"
The Heaven-Defying Mercenaries knew that the situation was hopeless. A few of them who were unwilling to die all knelt on the ground and kowtowed as they begged for mercy.
Qingfeng took a step forward and said, "Our Flame Mercenaries can't kill everyone, but we can't let you go for nothing. Hand over your spatial belts and you can leave."
"I'll hand them over, I'll hand them over …"
Qing Feng's words were like a blessing to the Heaven-Defying Mercenaries. Everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty. Without the slightest hesitation, they nimbly removed their Space Belts and obediently handed them over. The appearance of two Earth Saint Masters was just too much pressure for them to bear.
At this moment, one of the members who had chosen to leave the Flame Mercenaries arrived before Qingfeng. He said, "Captain, can you let me return to the Flame Mercenaries? You know that I have a family. I'm not as carefree as my brothers. I can't just die like this. I had no choice but to do what I did before."
Qingfeng said nothing. He turned his head toward Jianchen.
Jianchen pondered for a while before waving his hand. He said, "All of you can leave. Seeing that you've been in the Flame Mercenaries before, I can let you keep your belongings. There's no need to hand them over."
The members of the Heaven-Defying Mercenary Group all handed over their spatial pouches and safely left this place. The Flame Mercenary Group didn't kill them to the last one, but they tied up the dozen traitors who had poisoned them.
