"Kekeke, you got a sharp sense."
An evil laugh echoed in the area, and shortly after, a black mist gathered and formed a young man in crimson robes. His eyes as well as the hair were red, and there were two horns on his head.
"A Devil Veteran!"
Everyone was stunned, overwhelmed with fear. Two horned devils were the indication of a strong devil comparable to a peak martial veteran.
They actually came in contact with such a powerful devil, everyone was instinctively afraid!
Furthermore, there are around thirty devil novices behind this young man, all looking ferocious.
As for the group of Blade Fang, including him, there were only around 25 people; this number was disadvantageous.
"Everyone, take positions! Be careful of assassins," Blade Fang solemnly said, "Take a defense formation!"
"Yes, Leader!"
Everyone quickly formed a defensive state; Peng Liu and Jun were in the center, and an escape route was secured in the corner in case of defeat.
"Chances of escape isn't that great," Peng Liu's eyes were filled with fear, "these devils intentionally opened the road, assassins are hiding in that forest for sure! Oh my lord, am I going to die here?"
Jun frowned. There was indeed no escape route. The devil was a form of death and evil elements, so when Jun activated his death element, he immediately sensed the life force of these devils. Few were hiding in the forest where the escape route was.
"Friends, isn't it better to resolve this nicely?" Blade Fang said.
"Resolve? We're here to rob you," said the two-horned devil.
"We'll give what you want! Spare our lives," Peng Liu shouted.
"Haha, we can steal all your treasures after we send you to hell. Spare your lives? We regretfully forced to say: Hell No!" The young man pointed his hands, "Kill, don't leave a single behind!"
"Fuck! This sissy is too arrogant!"
"I'm mad now. I'm gonna grind these assholes into pieces!"
"Come, come. You shitty devils, I'm not afraid of you!"
Everyone in the Earthen Blade Mercenary was furious, the fear vanished. The sentence of the two-horned devil was a death sentence, so they cannot help but grind their teeth in anger. Even if they were weak, they would drag some of these bastards of a devil down with them!
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Blade Fang saw the inevitable coming and immediately led the frontier, holding his long blade.
The devils rushed forward like a pack of starving beasts, and the members of Earthen Blade Mercenary were like mad dogs. They clashed with one another, and the sound of weapons crisscrossing and screams followed right after.
Surprisingly, the battle wasn't chaotic. The members of Earthen Blade Mercenary moved in harmony, their actions indicate their experience in team battles. Some of them had almost died from the claws of devil novices, but they were saved from their companions in the nick of time.
Blade Fang and the two-horned devil watched each other intently. They did not join the battle as of yet. The main show was preparing and boiling, waiting for the sideshow to finish.
"Kid, help me protect Lord Peng," said Blade Fang.
"There's no need to worry for me. Sir Fang, just focus on the battle." Peng Liu wiped the sweats on his forehead, the fatty was trembling in obvious fear.
"Don't worry Sir Fang, just focus on the battle," Jun said calmly. Peng Liu and Blade Fang have welcomed him with wide arms, helping them was no big deal.
Blade Fang did not say anymore and focused on the battle. Both sides had suffered casualties, but it was evident that Blade Fang's subordinates were in a passive state. They could only helplessly defend and couldn't attack.
Blade Fang could sense the graveness of the situation and no longer remained calm. He dashed straight to the battlefield and waved his blade, exerting his entire strength.
"How dare you!"
The two-horned devil screamed, blocking the attack. However, he could only flick 50% of the blade's power and the remaining fifty was enough to send five devil novices in death.
"You despicable fellow! You're courting death!"
The two-horned devil gnashed his teeth and his aura gushed out.
"You can't be a gentleman on the battlefield, little sissy. Which cave did you crawl from to not understand this principle?" said Blade Fang mockingly.
"Good! Good! You angered me, you damn human. Remember, I'm Mo Xingchi, the son of the Spear Devil Master, the one who will rip you into pieces!"
The two-horned devil, Mo Xingchi, took out a spear and an evil element burst out from his weapon. He waved the spear ferociously at Blade Fang as if he wanted to behead the man with a single strike.
"This power..." Blade Fang did not underestimate his enemy and circulated his earth element. His long blade emitted an earth element and blocked the incoming spear.
Clang!
Both weapons collided, and Blade Fang immediately followed another attack. However, Mo Xingchi blocked it with ease.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The battle was intense.
"You have to win!"
Meanwhile, Lord Peng watched in terror as Blade Fang and the two-horned devil clashed with one another. The elements of earth and evil were clashing in the form of weapons, and each clash created a fissure in the surrounding area. The battle between the members of Earthen Blade Mercenary and the devil novices was affected, though they continued fighting aggressively.
At this moment, silent footsteps were heading straight to Peng Liu and Jun, and this footstep turned into a devil wearing a mask with a short dagger in his hand.
"Die!"
The assassin aimed the neck of the fatty.
"Oh no!"
Blade Fang wanted to rescue, but Mo Xingchi blocked him.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Damn it," Blade Fang gnashed his teeth and his eyes turned bloodshot. He fought the reckless two-horned devil.
"I'm dead,"
Peng Liu bitterly said as he helplessly watched the dagger coming in his direction.
However, there was a sudden flicker of lightning. The dagger that almost touched the neck of Peng Liu was flicked away.
"Huh?"
The assassin was stunned. Before he could react, a shadow flew straight to him, and his vision turned upside down.
"Why I'm flying? Wait...I'm dead?"
The assassin had a shocked face as his head flew in the air, and when it landed, he was already deader than dead.
"I'm alive?" Peng Liu was stunned.
"Stay next to me, Sir Peng," A voice landed beside his ear. He turned, and Jun was seen smiling at him.
"Thanks, Jun," Peng Liu breathed a relief.
"No problem."
Jun turned and watched the battle. At this moment, the battle was still raging, both sides were not stopping at all!
However, Jun could sense that at this rate, if there are no sudden turns of event, the Earthen Blade Mercenary will lose!
"It's time to act then," Jun muttered and looked at the fatty. "Sir Peng, wait here."
Jun stomped his foot, and the lightning feet were instantly activated. He vanished in his position and reappeared near the bushes. With a light tap, the wooden sword stored on his system space appeared.
Lightning Flash!
Three consecutive lightning flickered, and three screams echoed. Peng Liu saw three masked heads flying in the air, and he was stunned, "De-dead? One strike and all died?!"
"You're safe now, Sir Peng."
Jun reappeared next to Peng Liu, but he didn't halt. His figure blurred and turned into a flash of lightning. He entered the battlefield in a single breath.
At the moment he entered, a voice landed beside him.
"Brat, what are you doing here? Go back!"
Cui Tong roared, seeing Jun appearing. He had heard Blade Fang earlier and thus knew this punk was tasked to protect their client. To think he came here, isn't that courting death?
"They're already dead, don't worry," said Jun calmly.
Cui Tong wanted to rebuke him but suddenly noticed the guy was emitting a chilling aura.
Jun ignored him and walked step by step towards the devils. His chilling aura affected the entire battlefield, and the fighting stop.
"What's going on?"
"Where's this feeling coming from?"
"Look, it comes from that human!"
The devils all turned their eyes to Jun, and the members of Earthen Blade Mercenary were the same.
Jun was calm. His eyes were transfixed to the devil, and the wooden sword dripping with blood made him appeared a cold murderer.
"Death. Space. Time."
Jun's ethereal voice entered the ears of everyone. Suddenly, they felt a terrifying qi being emitted.
At the feet of Jun, the death aura spread slowly to everyone. The time moved, and Jun's movements increased. When space was unleashed, the flaws of the devils appeared within the eyes of Jun.
"Lightning Flash!"
Rumble.
A rumbling sound echoed, and the members of Earthen Blade Mercenary only saw a seemingly, harmless wooden sword turning into a flash of lightning.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Heads flew in the air simultaneously, blood flew relentlessly like waterfalls.
The members of Earthen Blade Mercenary were stunned. Cui Tong's eyes were popped open like saucers, the unbelievable scene shocked him to the core!
One strike, ten death!
