At night, Jianchen entered his tent after eating some rations. He sat down and cultivated with a few Class 1 Monster Cores in his hand. He could encounter danger at any time on the Tian Yuan Continent. Only with great strength could he ensure his safety. As a result, Jianchen did not want to waste any time on increasing his strength. Moreover, Jianchen knew that he could only return to the Kingdom of Gesun and reunite with his family once he became powerful enough to not fear the Huayun Sect. Otherwise, he would probably be hunted down by the Huayun Sect as soon as he showed his face.
It was extremely quiet outside. Only a few light footsteps could be heard from time to time. These were the mercenaries in charge of patrolling the area as they passed by Jianchen's tent.
Time passed by quietly and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. At this time, most of the mercenaries in the tents had already entered a state of deep sleep. Even the mercenaries in charge of patrolling the tents had drowsy looks and were in a very lax state.
At this moment, a black streak of light suddenly appeared. Using the cover of the night, it quickly flew over from the distance and shot straight at one of the patrolling mercenaries. In the end, it silently struck the mercenary's throat. The black streak of light was clearly a kind of killing force. The mercenary did not even have the chance to cry out before his body collapsed to the ground.
The black streak of light was extremely small and extremely fast. It was completely silent as it flew, making it difficult for anyone to detect it. Moreover, the merchant camp was extremely large, and the patrolling mercenary was far away by himself. As a result, no one noticed what had happened after he fell to the ground.
After the mercenary fell to the ground, several more black streaks of light quickly shot over from the distance, killing all the patrolling mercenaries who were further away from the tent.
Jian Chen's tent was located at the outermost perimeter. Among the dead mercenaries, there just happened to be one that was less than thirty meters away from Jian Chen's tent. Just as the mercenary that was closest to Jian Chen's tent fell to the ground, Jian Chen's ears slightly twitched as he sat cross-legged in his tent cultivating. His slightly closed eyes abruptly opened, and his eyes turned. Immediately after, Jian Chen immediately bent over and carefully opened a gap in the tent's door to observe the situation outside.
Just as Jianchen opened the door slightly to see what was happening outside, another black streak of light shot over from the distance at an extremely fast speed. It struck a patrolling mercenary in the distance, and the mercenary fell to the ground without making a single sound.
Seeing this, Jianchen's expression changed slightly. He immediately understood that the merchant group had been attacked. However, with the experience of his past life, Jianchen did not panic at all. He immediately shouted from the tent, "Everyone, be careful! There's an enemy attack!"
Jianchen's shout was extremely loud, and everyone in the camp could hear it clearly. As soon as he finished speaking, the originally quiet camp immediately became noisy. Countless mercenaries quickly ran out of their tents. In just a short moment, the originally quiet camp was filled with hundreds of noisy mercenaries.
Jianchen's words were extremely sensitive to the mercenaries who had been roaming the Tian Yuan Continent for a long time. As a result, when they heard Jianchen's shout, all the mercenaries ran out of their tents as quickly as possible. The mercenaries who had just run out of their tents habitually scanned their surroundings, but all they saw were their own people. They did not see any traces of the enemy.
"Enemy attack? Where is the enemy … "
"Who was shouting just now? Where is the enemy …"
"Where is the enemy? Who the f * ck was shouting randomly …"
Many mercenaries began to shout loudly. If they were to discover that someone was shouting randomly to mess with them, they would not easily let this person off.
"Not good, captain Lang Tian, the patrolling Du Mulan has died."
Just as many mercenaries were cursing, a loud voice drowned out all the curses of the mercenaries and rang out from afar.
Hearing this, all the mercenaries fell silent. However, at this moment, another three black streaks of light shot over from the darkness at an extremely fast speed and struck the chests of three mercenaries.
The mercenaries who were struck by the black streaks of light did not even have the chance to cry out before directly falling to the ground. Before the three mercenaries could fall to the ground, another three black streaks of light shot out from the darkness and struck the three mercenaries again.
The black streaks of light constantly shot over from afar. Using the cover of the night and their completely silent flight, it was difficult to discover their existence.
The black streaks of light shot out at an extremely fast rate. In less than a breath's time, over a dozen mercenaries were struck by the black streaks of light and fell to the ground. At this moment, someone finally cried out, "Everyone be careful, there's an enemy …" Before the mercenary could finish his sentence, a black streak of light flashed by and shot straight into the mercenary's body. Afterward, the mercenary powerlessly fell to the ground.
"Everyone quickly scatter and find cover." A tall, middle-aged man with a scar on his face roared. He was dressed in a tight suit and had a tall build. After he finished speaking, a pair of fiery red hammers appeared in the middle-aged man's hands and he rushed alone in the direction of the black streaks of light.
"Captain Lang Tian, be careful …"
Seeing the middle-aged man actually rushing alone in the direction of the enemy, many mercenaries cried out in alarm one after another. Their voices were filled with worry.
Just as the middle-aged man rushed out a few steps, over a dozen mercenaries who boasted of their strength rushed out and followed closely behind the middle-aged man. They formed a fan shape and rushed in the direction of the black streaks of light.
The black streaks of light were still constantly flickering, but this time, the shooting angle of the black streaks of light had changed their target. Under the cover of the night, the undetectable black streaks of light were like sharp swords that shot towards the dozen mercenaries who were rushing over.
However, since they dared to recklessly charge forward without knowing the enemy's situation, the strength of these mercenaries was definitely not weak. Leader Lang Tian, who was leading the charge, held a pair of fiery red hammers in his hands that flickered with a flame-like red glow. In the pitch-black night, the hammers were like bright lamps that were so eye-catching.
Seeing the two streaks of black streaks of light shooting towards him, Captain Lang Tian's eyes revealed a cold smile. He suddenly swung the hammers in his hands and fiercely smashed them towards the two streaks of black streaks of light.
With a light collision sound, Captain Lang Tian's hammers accurately struck the two streaks of black streaks of light. Afterwards, the black streaks of light silently disappeared. The black streaks of light that could easily take a person's life were actually so weak in Captain Lang Tian's hands.
The dozen or so mercenaries following behind Captain Lang Tian were also extremely powerful. They did not fear the threat of the black streaks of light at all. Immediately, powerful Saint Force surged out from the Saint Weapons in their hands, and they directly dispersed the black streaks of light with a wave of their Saint Weapons.
Just at this moment, a strange change occurred. Sharp ear-piercing sounds of air being pierced rang out from the darkness in the distance. Countless arrows were shot over with ear-piercing sounds. There were so many arrows that they were as dense as locusts.
Facing so many arrows, a few of the dozen or so mercenaries immediately stopped their charge and blocked the incoming arrows.
"Ding ding ding ding …."
These arrows were all made of refined iron. When they collided with the Saint Weapons, the sound of metal clanging rang out.
Captain Lang Tian and the mercenaries still did not stop their charge. Facing the dense rain of arrows, the mercenaries all roared out angrily. Powerful Saint Force surged out of their bodies, forming a barrier completely condensed from Saint Force around them. Although this barrier was weak, its defensive power was extremely strong. When the arrows made of refined iron struck their barrier, they could only cause it to tremble slightly. They were simply unable to break through this layer of defense.
"Brothers, kill!"
Just as the powerful mercenaries were about to charge into the enemy's camp, a loud and clear shout rang out from the darkness in the distance. Following the shout, earth-shaking battle cries rang out. In the darkness, a large number of black figures could be faintly seen suddenly appearing, rapidly charging towards the caravan's camp.
"The bandits have appeared. Everyone, prepare your bows and arrows."
In the mercenary camp, a mercenary loudly shouted. Hearing this, many mercenaries immediately took out the iron longbows on their backs and nocked arrows. They aimed at the black figures in the distance, waiting for the bandits to enter the range of their arrows.
Jianchen stood at the periphery of the group of mercenaries and looked at the black figures in the distance. His expression became a little solemn. Although the bandits were still far away from the camp and visibility was very low due to the darkness, with his eyesight and experience, he immediately determined that there were at least a few hundred bandits. They were not much fewer than the mercenaries in the caravan. Moreover, the few powerful mercenaries who had charged forward against the rain of arrows had already been dealt with by the experts in the enemy camp.
"Release the arrows!"
At this time, the bandits had already entered the range of the arrows. With the order of one person, the hundreds of mercenaries immediately released the arrows in their hands. Immediately, hundreds of iron arrows pierced through the air and shot towards the bandits in front.
Although there were some powerful people in this group of bandits, most of them were not that strong. In just one round of arrow rain, more than a dozen of the bandits had fallen.
Three black streaks of light shot out from behind the group of bandits at an extremely fast speed, directly hitting the chest of three bow-wielding mercenaries. A finger-sized hole immediately appeared on the chest of the three mercenaries who were hit by the black streaks of light. They immediately fell to the ground and breathed their last.
The black streaks of light shot out at an extremely fast rate, and each time there were three streaks of light. In just a short moment, nine mercenaries had died under the black streaks of light.
Seeing the wounds on the mercenaries' chests, a middle-aged man's face suddenly changed. He immediately called out, "Everyone be careful! There's someone with darkness-attributed Saint Force in the enemy camp!"
As he spoke, another three black streaks of light shot out from the night sky. One of the black streaks of light just happened to be aimed at the middle-aged man who had called out to warn everyone.
The middle-aged man's strength was obviously not weak. His face sank, and a silver machete appeared in his right hand in an instant. With a flash of the machete, the middle-aged man had already swung down the machete in his right hand, slashing at the incoming black light.
"Bang!"
The black streak of light was completely condensed from energy. When the black streak of light collided with the machete in the middle-aged man's hand, there was a soft explosion. Afterward, the black streak of light silently dispersed.
The middle-aged man's body swayed slightly, and his face immediately became stern. He said in a deep voice, "God dammit, there's actually three darkness-attributed Saint Force in the enemy camp, and they're all professional archers. In this region, only the Boundless Bandits have such strength."
"Vice-captain Liu, what did you say? Are these bandits from the Boundless Bandits?"
"Heavens, they're actually from the Boundless Bandits …"
