A muffled groan came from Ku Yun's throat as his originally ruddy face instantly turned pale.
Seeing Ku Yun's chest being pierced by Jianchen's sword, the other expert's expression suddenly changed. He immediately let out a loud roar and a large amount of Sword Qi erupted from his Saint Weapon, blocking the countless rocks that Jianchen controlled with his mind. He then raised his Saint Weapon and attacked Jianchen, trying to save Ku Yun.
Jianchen glanced at the expert flying towards him from the corner of his eyes and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. He said, "The person who just told me to get out must be you. Today, don't even think about leaving." Jianchen pulled out the origin energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits from Ku Yun's chest and shot it towards the incoming expert like a bolt of lightning.
"Ding!" Two rays of light, one purple and one green, collided with the Saint Weapon, producing a crisp sound. Facing the powerful origin energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits, the Saint Weapon of the Heaven Saint Master was as weak as a tile and was cut open by the origin energy.
"Pfff!" The Saint Weapon was damaged, causing the expert to be affected as well and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jianchen's hand did not stop at all as the second strike followed. With his powerful physical strength, the speed of the sword was as fast as lightning. A small ray of light flashed and before the opponent could react, the origin energy had already pierced through his head, directly shattering his soul and destroying his body and soul.
"Ba La!" Ku Yun let out a cry of surprise as he looked at the expert whose head had been pierced through with a sorrowful expression. He knew that from this moment onwards, the Blue Wind Kingdom would have one less Heaven Saint Master.
Ba La's head had been pierced through by the origin energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits. The soul in his head rapidly dissipated and his eyes gradually became hollow. In the end, his entire body fell from the sky.
Jianchen's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He took the Space Ring from Ba La's finger and held it in his hand. He then turned to the sorrowful Ku Yun and expressionlessly said, "I originally wanted to kill you directly, but in the end, I decided to spare your life. When you return, tell your king to stay away from the matters of the Flame Mercenaries, or don't blame me for what happens next." As he spoke, the origin energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits in Jianchen's hand quickly faded and disappeared.
Ku Yun's facial muscles constantly twitched as he stared at the young man in front of him in both shock and fear. His voice trembled as he said, "The war between the Kingdom of Gesun and our Blue Wind Kingdom has already ended. We've also given you a large amount of compensation. Ba La had no enmity with you, so why did you kill him?"
Jianchen coldly laughed, "Disaster comes from the mouth. Remember to be careful with your words in the future. You can leave now. Don't forget to pass those words to your esteemed king." With that, Jianchen turned around and flew away. His body rapidly descended from the sky and returned to the inn.
Ku Yun blankly floated in the air as he stared at his feet with a sorrowful expression. He saw the other Heaven Saint Master who had come with him, Ba La, lying motionlessly on the street below. There was already a large pool of blood there. The surroundings of Ba La's corpse were already filled with people. Everyone stared at the corpse on the ground in shock as they blankly stared at it.
Ku Yun descended from the sky and left with Ba La's corpse. He soared through the sky and left Cloudhaven with a miserable expression.
The two of them had come to Cloudhaven with great momentum, but in the end, only one of them returned alive.
Although the battle in the sky had ended, the entire Cloud Capital was still as silent as a city of the dead. Not a single sound could be heard. Countless merchants and mercenaries stood on the streets in the same manner as before. They stared blankly at the empty sky, as if they were still intoxicated by the previous battle and had yet to recover from it.
On the street where Baku had just been, more than a dozen figures rapidly flew over from the distance. In the end, they all stopped around the pool of blood with blank expressions.
These dozen or so people were the leaders of the dozen or so first-rate forces in Cloud Capital City. Among them was the City Lord of Cloud Capital City. However, no one knew what they were feeling at this moment.
Jianchen returned to the inn and sat on the same bed as before. However, there was now a hole above his head that allowed him to see the sky.
Jianchen's group descended from the roof and arrived at Jianchen's room. As soon as they entered, they heard Bi Lian's excited cries, "Waa- brother, you're just too powerful. You managed to chase away two Heaven Saint Masters from the Blue Wind Kingdom." Bi Lian was extremely excited. Her gaze toward Jianchen was filled with admiration. He had fought against two Heaven Saint Masters all by himself and emerged unscathed. In her eyes, he was basically invincible.
Only now did she suddenly realize that her brother was much more powerful than she had imagined him to be.
"Wrong. It's because one is dead and one is injured. If your brother hadn't let the last person go, he wouldn't have been able to leave here alive," corrected Ming Dong.
Bi Lian became even more excited when she heard Ming Dong's words. She felt extremely proud that she had such a powerful brother.
Sima You Yue, who was standing to the side, looked at Jian Chen with a look of infatuation. However, she soon noticed the huge hole in Jian Chen's head and said gently, "Jian Chen, you've broken the roof of the room. You should change to another one to rest."
Jianchen raised his head to look at the roof and awkwardly smiled, "Yeah, I should change to another room."
Jianchen and the others did not care about what was happening outside. They did not know that the outside world had been thrown into chaos. The battle between the captain of the Flame Mercenaries and the two peak Heaven Saint Masters of the Blue Wind Kingdom alone had attracted the attention of countless people in the city. The scene of one of the Heaven Saint Masters dying and the other being injured had been clearly seen by many people with extraordinary eyesight. This matter caused an extremely great commotion in the city.
The news spread through the entire kingdom at an unbelievable speed. In just half a day, it had reached every corner of the Blue Wind Kingdom in an unbelievable manner, shocking everyone. The leaders of the peak organizations in the Blue Wind Kingdom attached great importance to this matter as well. They immediately sent experts to the Cloud Capital to investigate the authenticity of the news.
However, the incident this time further strengthened the Flame Mercenary Group's position in the Blue Wind Kingdom. If it was before, the Flame Mercenary Group's subjugation of a first class city would have attracted a lot of attention, then the incident this time would have made everyone feel terrified.
In the imperial palace of the Blue Wind Kingdom, Ku Yun held the corpse of his companion in his arms as he met the king of the Blue Wind Kingdom in the grand hall. He told the king everything that had happened in the Cloud Capital, including the message that Jianchen had asked him to pass on to the king.
After hearing the story, the king of the Blue Wind Kingdom sighed at the sky. At that moment, he seemed to have aged a lot.
His Majesty the King was silent for a long time, then slowly opened his mouth and said: "Since we can't stop it, then don't interfere. Alas, the strength of my Blue Wind Kingdom is already declining, now after this mess, our strength is destined to decline again."
…
Several days later, a long group of people passed through the gates of the Cloud Capital. They set off towards the outside of the city. Within the group, a large number of flags fluttered in the wind. Whether it was the size or appearance of the flags, they were all the same. There was a burning flame embroidered on each flag.
This group was the Flame Mercenaries.
Currently, the Flame Mercenary Group had already reached a certain scale. The members of the mercenary group had expanded from the initial lone members to over 5,000 members. It was already a large-scale mercenary group in the Blue Wind Kingdom, and its overall strength was not the slightest bit inferior to the top forces of the Blue Wind Kingdom.
At the very front of the group, Jianchen, Ming Dong, Tie Ta, Dugu Feng, You Yue, and Bi Lian rode side by side on their magical beast mounts. However, their Class 3 Magical Beasts had all been replaced by Class 4 Magical Beasts. These Class 4 Magical Beasts had all been donated by the leaders of a dozen or so organizations.
Now, the leaders of these dozen or so factions had completely accepted their new identities and sincerely considered themselves to be part of the Flame Mercenaries. This was because not only had they found a powerful backer, but they had also obtained the Earth Tier Battle Skill that they had always desired. They even had hopes of obtaining the Heaven Tier Battle Skill that even Heaven Saint Masters coveted. Just how enticing was this? It was like a pie had fallen from the sky. Even to Heaven Saint Masters, it was fatally attractive, let alone them.
As a result, they accepted their new identities without any hesitation. This time, they did it completely willingly, without any reluctance or reluctance.
"Captain, where are we going next?" Zhan Tian asked from the back.
"Heavenly Dragon City is relatively close. Let's go there," Jianchen replied.
In the following days, the Flame Mercenaries expanded wildly in the Blue Wind Kingdom. In an extremely short amount of time, they subdued all the first-rate organizations in the first class cities of the Blue Wind Kingdom, causing their strength to rapidly increase.
After sweeping through several first class cities, the Flame Mercenaries now had over thirty thousand members. There were close to a hundred Earth Saint Masters as well. They had basically emptied out all the experts in the Blue Wind Kingdom.
