"Haha, after climbing over this mountain, we will reach the Red City. Once we reach the Red City, it will be the Misty Rain Tower's territory. Who would dare to cause trouble for the Misty Rain Tower? This mission was not bad, I easily earned twenty Mortal Restoration Pills."
Wang Ting's face was filled with joy. The other mercenaries also looked relaxed, as if they had already completed their mission.
The few mercenaries were only thinking about the Human Elixir, and did not notice Yan Meng's expression.
Jiang Chen had sharp senses, and he had already opened his mind. He noticed that Yan Meng's expression was getting more and more nervous. Even the other two men from the Yan family were panicking.
"It's not that simple."
Jiang Chen laughed inwardly. Yan Meng was not an idiot. If it wasn't for an extremely important mission, he wouldn't have spent so much money to hire so many Qi Hai mercenaries, and he even had to gather eight people.
Also, Jiang Chen scanned the carriage with his mind and found that it was empty. There was nothing inside. This carriage was just a cover.
"Everyone, stay alert."
Yan Meng reminded them, but the mercenaries still did not seem to care.
"Brother Wang, can I ask you a question? What is the relationship between the Misty Rain Tower and the Lee family?"
Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.
"Do you even need to ask? Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain, and the two families are enemies. It's either you die or I die. "
Wang Ting said.
"Do you know what kind of treasure is inside this carriage?"
Jiang Chen looked at the carriage and lowered his voice even more.
"I don't know. This old man won't tell us, and we can't ask. This is the rule of us mercenaries. But, I guess it must be related to the Yan family's daughter."
Wang Ting said.
"The Yan family's daughter?"
Jiang Chen was shocked.
"Brother Jiang Chen, this is your first time in Red city, so you probably don't know this. The Yan family's Patriarch only has one daughter, and she is the apple of the Yan family's eye. However, she was born with a weak and sickly body. The Yan family had consulted many famous doctors, and even invited many great alchemists, but none of them could cure her. In the end, they concluded that she would not live past 15 years old. Now, she is already 14 years old. So, I am guessing that the treasure in here has something to do with curing her illness.
Wang Ting muttered.
"That's a pity. Brother, do you know what illness this young lady has?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"I don't know about that. I heard that every time this young lady gets sick, she would feel cold all over and hover between life and death. It's really pitiful. She's only fourteen."
Wang Ting sighed and shook his head, looking like he was very caring.
"Let's go."
Yan Meng looked at the mountains in front of him that were about to fall into darkness and shouted coldly.
Ka ka!
The carriage made a clicking sound, and the caravan set off again.
After traveling for about seven or eight miles, the sky had completely darkened. At this moment, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that Yan Meng and the other two were getting more nervous, even their breathing was getting faster.
At this moment, Jiang Chen used his Divine Sense and discovered that there were more than ten people hiding in front of him. They all had a strong killing intent.
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the dim moon. A smile appeared on his face. It was a dark and windy night. It seemed like it was going to be another bloody night.
"Haha, Yan Meng, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
A loud laugh suddenly came from the mountain in front of them. Then, a group of men in black rushed out with killing intent, completely blocking the way of Yan Meng and the others.
Jiang Chen scanned the area with his Divine Sense. There were eleven of them, all of them were Qi Hai warriors. Two were Late Qi Hai warriors, four were Mid Qi Hai warriors, and the rest were Early Qi Hai warriors.
Whether it was their cultivation or their numbers, they had completely suppressed the Misty Rain Tower's caravan.
Yan Meng's expression changed. He thought to himself that they were still here. They thought they would be safe after crossing this mountain, but they were still in danger.
"Lee Long, your Lee family has really put in a lot of effort."
Yan Meng sneered.
Wang Ting and the other men's expressions changed as well. They were no longer as relaxed as before. Looking at the situation, they started cursing in their minds. They thought they could easily complete this mission, but in the blink of an eye, it had become extremely dangerous.
These men in front of them were definitely from the Lee family.
"Yan Meng, hand over the Pure-Yang fruit!"
Lee Long's face was filled with killing intent.
"Don't even think about it! The Pure-Yang fruit is to save our young lady's life! I won't give it to you even if I have to risk my life!"
Yan Meng said.
Jiang Chen finally understood. So Yan Meng was here to escort the Pure-Yang fruit. The Pure-Yang fruit was indeed a rare natural treasure. Some of the older Pure-Yang fruits had unimaginable benefits, even for Divine Core warriors.
"Then leave your life here! Kill them all, don't leave a single one alive!"
Lee Long gave the order viciously.
Jiang Chen wasn't an idiot, he could immediately tell what was going on. The reason why the Lee family wanted to stop the Pure-Yang fruit was not because of its value, but because they wanted to make the young lady of the Yan family incurable. This young lady was the apple of the Yan family's eyes, and if she died, the Yan family would definitely be heartbroken. Once the Yan family was in a mess, the Lee family would be the most powerful force.
Besides, if there was a chance to kill a warrior from the Misty Rain Tower, the Lee family wouldn't let it go.
Swoosh!
All the men from the Lee family took out their weapons and surrounded the caravan. Judging from their actions, they didn't seem to want to leave anyone alive.
"Motherf * cker, I'm so unlucky to have gotten involved in such a thing today."
Wang Ting cursed as he took out a huge blade. The rest of the men were nervous as well. As mercenaries, they knew their responsibilities, and they knew their situation. The enemy would never let them go, and if they wanted to live, they had to fight back.
"Brother Jiang Chen, if you have the chance, run away. You're still young, and this is the first time you've come out for training. There's no need to risk your life here!"
Wang Ting said to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's lips curled upwards. This Wang Ting was a nice guy, he was still thinking about his own safety. Just because of this, Jiang Chen could guarantee Wang Ting's safety today. Besides, the enemy was from the Lee family.
"Kill!"
Lee Long shouted. He and another Late Qi Hai warrior charged towards Yan Meng from the left and right, not giving him any chance to escape.
At the same time, the rest of the men unleashed their Yuan energy and attacked the mercenaries.
Bang … …
A fierce battle started in an instant. Nearly 20 Qi Hai warriors were fighting each other, and their energy was so strong that many of the rocks around them were shattered.
Ah!
It was only the beginning of the fight, but some of the mercenaries had already been injured, with a long cut on their arms. Yan Meng was surrounded by two Late Qi Hai warriors, and he could only defend himself. He had no chance to fight back.
"You're just a kid, and you dare to be a mercenary? Die!"
A man in black held a long sword and slashed towards Jiang Chen's head. The sword was shining brightly, and it looked like it was going to cut Jiang Chen in half.
Jiang Chen shook his head and stood there without moving. When the opponent's sword was about to reach his head, Jiang Chen pointed out his finger and unleashed a bright beam. With a puchi sound, the black-clothed man's palm was cut off from his wrist, causing blood to spurt out like a fountain.
The long sword fell into the air, and Jiang Chen grabbed it by the hilt. With a backhand swing, he left a deep wound on the neck of the man in black.
The whole process was done in one go, and it was extremely fast. The man in black did not even have the chance to scream before he died.
Yan Meng and the others were fighting their own battles, and they were all in danger. None of them noticed what was happening over here.
Puchi!
Wang Ting was attacked by two people at the same time, and his chest was cut open. Blood flowed out from the wound.
"F * ck you! I'm going to kill you!"
A hot-tempered person naturally had a fiery temper. It was common for mercenaries to get injured. They were all hot-blooded men. Once they stepped onto the path of mercenaries, they had already handed over their lives. They knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Wang Ting's eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he was going to kill them all.
Keng!
Wang Ting's sword blocked one of the attacks, but the other's attack had arrived. He was being attacked by two people at the same time, and there was no way he could block the other's attack. Seeing that he was going to die, Wang Ting's heart was filled with despair.
Puchi!
At this moment, a long sword pierced through the other man's body, and the tip of the sword came out from his back. The man in black's movement also stopped in the air, and he could no longer fall down.
The cold long sword was pulled out from his back, and Jiang Chen's figure fell into Wang Ting's eyes.
"Brother Jiang Chen!"
Wang Ting was shocked, and his face was filled with disbelief.
The other man in black saw that his comrade was attacked from behind, so he immediately ignored Wang Ting and rushed towards Jiang Chen.
Shua!
Jiang Chen waved his sword, and the sword was as fast as lightning. The head of the man in black flew up into the air, and blood kept dripping from the head, and his face was filled with fear.
Wang Ting was stunned. It was too fast, so fast that he couldn't even see how Jiang Chen made his move.
This was Jiang Chen's sword. There was no special technique, and it was just fast, faster than lightning. This kind of sword was used to kill people.
"Oh my god."
Wang Ting shook his head. He had really made a mistake, and met someone who was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
Jiang Chen gave Wang Ting a smile, and then carried his sword and rushed towards the others.
Puchi, puchi …
What happened next caused Wang Ting and the mercenaries to be dumbfounded. Their mouths were wide open, and they felt like they had just had an incomparably comical dream.
Like a cheetah, Jiang Chen kept moving between the black-clothed men. The sword in his hand was emitting a cold light. Every time he swung his sword, he would kill a man. Every time he swung his sword, he would kill a man. He never swung his sword twice.
What was even more terrifying was that the people he killed didn't even have the ability to scream. Jiang Chen's sword directly deprived them of the right to scream.
In just a minute, all the people from the Li Clan were lying in a pool of blood. Their broken bodies were still squirming, and the scene was horrifying.
