The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the morning. A group of men clad in armor and carrying banners galloped over on their horses and quickly spread out. Many of them pulled out their weapons and surrounded Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi in the middle. Their faces were filled with malicious intent. When they saw the beautiful faces of the two beautiful girls, their greed and lust grew even stronger.
…
"Who are these people?" Tang Xiaoxi asked with a frown.
Qin Yin quietly placed her palm on her sword and said, "Mercenaries."
That's right, they were all mercenaries. There were at least a hundred of them, and judging from the sound of hooves, there seemed to be more.
Lin Muyu mounted the horse and tied the Qiankun Pouch to her waist. She raised her hand and sheathed Star. She looked at the mercenaries around her coldly and stood still, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
At this moment, a mercenary with a face full of beard rode forward. He glanced at Tao Wu's huge body, then looked at Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi's attire and injuries. He couldn't help but smile. "It seems that the divine beast Tao Wu died in your hands."
"Yes, make way. We're leaving," Qin Yin said with a cold face.
"You want to leave just like that?" The mercenary leader couldn't help but laugh. "Since you're the ones who killed Tao Wu, you must have some skills. Do you mind showing my brothers what you've got?"
Lin Muyu immediately knew that these mercenaries couldn't sense the power of a Sanctuary expert, so they didn't know if the three of them really had the ability to kill Tao Wu, or if they had killed Tao Wu through trickery. This person was just testing them. If they really didn't have the ability to kill Tao Wu, then they would attack immediately.
Clang!
Lin Muyu suddenly pulled out her sword and looked at the group of people around her coldly. The group of mercenaries also pulled out their swords and bows. The atmosphere was tense.
"This sword …" The bearded mercenary leader's eyes turned cold. "Kid, this sword is the divine weapon that fell into the human world, isn't it?"
"Yes." Lin Muyu didn't deny it.
"Very good … very good …" The bearded man said twice and shouted, "Captain, the divine weapon is here!"
Another group of mercenaries came from the forest behind. The leader seemed to be a little familiar. He was about 40 years old, had a fierce face, and had a vicious look in his eyes. He held the reins tightly with both hands and rode his horse under the protection of dozens of people. He stared at Lin Muyu and sneered. "Tell me, how did you get this sword? So many cultivators have died here, and even many people from the empire's army have died. How did a young boy like you get this sword? Did you take advantage of the fact that everyone died together with Tao Wu to get this sword? "
Tang Xiaoxi was curious and couldn't help but laugh. She raised her eyebrows and said, "You middle-aged man, your words are really interesting. We killed Tao Wu and got this sword. What do you mean by taking advantage of the situation? If we really took advantage of the situation to get this sword, would you dare to snatch it?"
The smile in the mercenary leader's eyes deepened. He raised his hand and said, "Brothers, I want these two girls alive. Shoot this boy into a hedgehog! Hehe, I didn't expect that we, the Scorching Wind Mercenary Group, would pick up such a big bargain as soon as we arrived in Heaven's Pivot Province. Humph, Tao Wu's spirit stones must be in this boy's hands. Get rid of him for me. But be careful, that divine weapon must be powerful! "
"You are the Scorching Wind Mercenary Group?"
Lin Muyu suddenly smiled.
"What's wrong? Have you also heard of the Scorching Wind Mercenary Group?" The mercenary leader said proudly.
"No." Lin Muyu shook her head. The smile on her face became even more radiant. She smiled and said, "You are the leader of the Scorching Wind Mercenary Group, Lei Qianhai? Do you still remember the Lin Muyu you wanted to kill four years ago? "
"Lin Muyu?!"
Lei Qianhai's body trembled as he stared fixedly at Lin Muyu's face. The more he looked at this face, the more familiar it became. Compared to the Lin Muyu of the past, this face was less childish and arrogant, but more calm and composed. Lei Qianhai's hands couldn't help but tremble as he said, "You … you're really the commander of the Lanyan City's Brave Dragon Battalion … Lin Muyu?"
"What, you don't recognize me anymore?" The killing intent in Lin Muyu's eyes intensified. "Don't tell me you have also forgotten that you sent people to kill me and Chu Yao?"
Lei Qianhai urged his horse to retreat several steps. His face was aghast. Suddenly, his expression turned malevolent. He roared, "Attack, kill them all. Leave no one alive. Quick!"
Around them, tens of sharp arrows shot towards them.
"Block them!"
Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi formed a defensive formation with their backs against each other. They took out their Dragon Blood Battle Shields and instantly, the arrows bounced off the shields. Qin Yin's Sacred Dragon Shield also revolved around her body, deflecting the attacks of the mercenaries. Tang Xiaoxi had it even easier. She used her two-tailed fire fox to blow away the arrows with just the aura of her flames.
"Lei Qianhai, you still want to leave?!"
Lin Muyu leapt up and charged towards Lei Qianhai like an eagle hunting for its prey. She didn't even use her sword. Instead, she suddenly opened her palm and a dense fiery red Dou Qi vortex appeared between her fingers. It was the King's Dou Qi!
"Ah?!"
Lei Qianhai suddenly turned around and swept his long blade horizontally. However, with a "dang" sound, the blade was actually broken by Lin Muyu's palm. The King's Dou Qi was simply invincible against this kind of fine steel weapon.
"Hua!"
The five fingers pierced through Lei Qianhai's condensed Dou Qi with an unstoppable force. In the next moment, she had already grabbed Lei Qianhai's throat and lifted him up from his horse.
"Uh … Uh …"
Lei Qianhai's face flushed red as he looked at the red Dou Qi revolving around Lin Muyu's arm in shock. With a trembling voice, he said, "King … King's … Dou Qi, you … you've stepped into the Holy King realm …"
"That's right. You didn't think that retribution would come so late, did you?"
Lin Muyu faintly smiled and suddenly exerted strength from her five fingers. In an instant, Lei Qianhai's body turned into a pile of ashes that was blown away by the wind. Not a single bone was left! It was already unknown how many innocent people this mercenary leader had killed over the years. However, Lin Muyu was certain that by killing him, she was definitely doing justice for the heavens and eradicating evil for the people!
"This little bastard killed the leader, kill him! Kill him! "The bearded mercenary leader roared in a daze.
A group of mercenaries wielding heavy shields quickly rushed forward with spears in their hands. Before they even got close, they had already thrown their spears. The Scorching Wind Mercenary Group could be considered well-trained to actually know such military tactics.
Unfortunately, the spears all bounced off the Dragon Blood Battle Shield.
Lin Muyu didn't waste much effort. She leapt forward and pulled out the Stellar Sword. With a sudden shout, the Seven Luminaries Immortal Gourd and God Binding Chains quickly disintegrated and fused into a resplendent golden greatsword that enveloped the Stellar Sword.
"Kacha!"
With a single slash, a group of mercenaries along with their shields were cut into two halves. They didn't even have the chance to scream before they died. The power of this slash was extraordinary. It directly killed more than thirty shield-wielding heavy infantry soldiers. The Scorching Wind Mercenaries behind her were all dumbfounded, as if they had seen the Grim Reaper.
…
Lin Muyu stood majestically with the Battle Flame dancing around her. She looked down at the crowd like a deity and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Or do you think that you are capable enough to deal with one Holy King and two Saint Masters?"
Everyone trembled in fear. The bearded mercenary leader knelt down on one knee and said, "We … we know we were wrong. We hope that Lord Saint King can make an exception … and spare our worthless lives. We … we were just trying to make a living, that's all."
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu sneered coldly, "I don't even want to talk about the dirty things you have done. However, I have no intention of killing all of you today. I am very curious as to why you still dare to attack after hearing my name. Has the Scorching Wind Mercenary Group never heard of Lin Muyu?"
"Yes … yes …" The bearded man trembled and said, "Commander Yu defeated the powerful demon race in the Wildfire Plains. Everyone in the world knows your name, but … our leader …"
"Alright, that's enough."
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Since you know my name, then hurry up and leave before I change my mind."
"Yes … we will leave, right now!"
The Scorching Wind Mercenary Group hurriedly left. How would they dare to ask for Tao Wu's spiritual stones? After all, even if it was a hundred thousand years old spiritual beast's spiritual stone, they needed to be alive to enjoy it.
…
"Swoosh …"
Lin Muyu shook her arm and the Great Treasure Sword Martial Spirit slowly dissipated. She let out a sigh and turned around to look behind her. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi did not kill anyone. They were only protecting themselves. The two girls did not have a strong killing intent. In fact, Lin Muyu knew that both Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were very kind girls. They would not kill anyone unless they had no other choice, even if it was a bad guy.
"Xiao Yin, Xiao Xi, let's go. Otherwise, there will be more trouble."
"Yes!"
The three of them mounted their horses and galloped away from where Suan Ni's corpse was. Along the way, they could still see an endless stream of cultivators and private armies from various clans rushing over. After all, the temptation of a Divine Weapon was too great.
However, the stars were already sheathed, so these people could not see any clues. At most, they only saw Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi as a feast for the eyes. They did not cause too much trouble.
After leaving the forest, a group of people came toward them. It was Yuchi Cai and the others.
"Young Hero Lin Zhi!"
Yuchi Cai also recognized Lin Zhi. "Are … are you all right?" he asked with wide eyes.
"We're fine. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Yuchi."
Lin Muyu cupped her fists and smiled. "Bi 'an is simply too powerful. None of us are a match for it, and we were even injured. We won't be staying for long. Young Lord Yuchi, please be careful and pay attention to your safety."
"Yes!"
Yuchi Cai looked at Lin Muyu in confusion. "Then … then I won't send you off."
"Many thanks!"
Lin Muyu led Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi away on their horses.
…
Yuchi Cai watched in a daze as the three of them went further and further away. At this time, an old man draped in a cloak said indifferently, "Young Master, the divine weapon has probably been taken …"
"Elder Li, why do you say that?"
Elder Li stroked his beard. "The person whom Young Master called Lin Zhi just now, the longsword on his back emitted a very strong sword soul power. It's the highest level of a sacred beast's soul. If there are no accidents, that sword is a divine weapon that everyone is fighting for."
"What?!" Yuchi Cai was stunned.
Elder Li said indifferently, "Young Master, should we chase after him and snatch the sword?"
