C45 (2/2)
”Based on what you said, in the current Poison Fang Mercenary Company, only Guan Sheng can contend against you. The others, are all not your opponents, right?” Zhu Yunxin muttered to herself.
”It's alright. How should I put it? I'm not very good at one-on-one battles. After all, I'm a martial artist. It's better to fight one-on-one.” Xiao Yan parted his mouth and spoke in a vague manner.
Confidence? Zhou Tong had never considered such a thing before, at the very least, facing a group of opponents whose cultivations could not be considered to be orthodox, Zhou Tong did not even need to consider holding on to them.
With that, Zhou Tong placed Zhu Yunxin behind a pile of rocks by the side of the road and took out a pill from within the Sumeru Pearl.
It was a pellet whose appearance looked like red glaze that was shining with the color of porcelain. When the pellet entered Zhou Tong's mouth, an indescribable terrifying aura immediately exploded out from Zhou Tong's body. The spirit energy in his body started to boil, and as it flowed, his robes started to flutter. He raised his head and let out a long roar, which sounded like the roar of a wild beast, and tore through the sky.
Zhou Tong's expression quickly became ice-cold, and it was unknown if it was because of the medicinal pellet or if it was just an expression that Zhou Tong should have. That wild and overbearing aura caused Zhu Yunxin to not dare to look straight at Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong's originally gentle eyes were now filled with a sharp and cold light that Zhu Yunxin had never seen before. His eyes, seemed to be dyed red with blood.
”Wait here. Leave everything to me. But remember, don't look.”
After coldly throwing down those words, Zhou Tong lowered his body slightly as the Meteorite Sword left its sheath with a ”clang”. One man and one sword, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
”Alright!”
”Guild Leader is mighty!”
In front of the Yali Town, the mercenaries were cheering loudly. For those who lick their teeth and lick their blood with a knife all day long, the thrill of killing was the only thing that could be compared with money and beauties, regardless of whether the target was a vicious beast or a human.
Guan Sheng's hands continued to move rhythmically, controlling the dark clouds in the sky to rain down fireballs, bombarding the nearly overturned Yali Town. To a cultivator at the Celestial Realm, destroying a small town was like lifting a finger. Guan Shan was attacked by others, and his daughter-in-law Zhu Yunxin, whom Guan Sheng had set his eyes on, was also taken away. This caused Guan Sheng to be extremely angry.
Suddenly, the figure of a ghost flashed within the group of mercenaries, and the skinny mercenary who was standing at the back by himself disappeared without a trace. However, the mercenaries who were cheering for Guan Sheng's powerful magic technique did not notice anything at all.
The skinny mercenary was brought to a hidden corner and viciously thrown onto the ground. Looking at the man in front of him, whose eyes were like those of a beast, this mercenary was scared to the point of peeing his pants.
”Don't kill me! What do you want to know? I say! I'll tell you everything! ”
Why did you attack the Yali Town? Zhou Tong covered his nose in disgust, his brows knitted tightly, cursing himself in his heart.
”Yes, it is the Guild Leader who ordered us to search for Miss Zhu, but we have searched the entire town but did not find any Miss Zhu. In his rage, the Guild Leader left …”
”Understood, thank you.” Zhou Tong curled his lips, and then stood up.
”Many thanks to the lord for not killing him!”
The last word, ”En”, stuck in the mercenary's throat and was no longer uttered. From the corner of his eyes, he could see a headless corpse leaning on it. The surrounding sounds gradually faded away, and the final image that appeared was of a man that was like a ferocious beast holding a sword, walking towards the rest of the Mercenary Group.
