Chapter 41: Wolf Head
Hiss, there was a sound of people sucking in their breath.
He killed the third-best fighter of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Hao Meng, who was an eight-star fighter, in one second with a single sword strike. Even their leader Mu She could not do this without using a killing move.
Above the sky, Little Medical Fairy, standing on the back of an eagle, was also looking at everything below with a dull gaze. Although she thought she had overestimated Xiao Se's strength enough, she never expected that she could kill Hao Meng in one blow.
After a brief daze, she felt relieved. You know, she had already prepared herself for the possibility that if Xiao Se was defeated, she would risk all her life by releasing the poison in her secret box, killing everyone, and then rescuing Xiao Se.
Looking at Hao Meng's head with blood pouring out on the ground with a ferocious face, Mu She's eyes were about to burst. From the brief fight just now, Mu She, who had been licking blood from the edge of his knife all year round, naturally saw that Xiao Se had not yet been promoted to a fighting master, and his current strength was at the ninth level. There were starfighters on the left and right, but this nine-star fighter killed his capable general Hao Meng, who was famous for his defense, with one move. The most important thing is that the opponent seems to be using the sword casually without using all his strength.
"Damn it, how did he do that?" Mu She cursed softly, and his eyes suddenly fell on the purple sword engraved with special runes in Xiao Se's hand, and greed was revealed in his eyes.
Then he roared at everyone and said, "Don't panic, that guy is only a nine-star fighter at most. He killed Hao Meng in an instant with the purple sword in his hand. As long as we don't touch the sword, killing him will be as easy as butchering a dog."
"Kill, kill, kill!" Upon hearing this, everyone in the field was in an uproar.
A series of malicious glances were cast towards Xiao Se.
However, at this moment, they focused their entire attention on Xiao Se and completely ignored the danger from the sky.
Looking indifferently at the mercenaries gathered around him, Xiao Se smiled coldly. Indeed, he was able to kill Hao Meng because he relied on the sharpness of the magic sword that could cut through iron like mud, but he could easily chop Hao Meng's neck without using any external force.
"Kill him." Gan Mu, who was beside Mu She, did not rush forward. Instead, he waved the spear in his hand and ordered his subordinates to rush forward.
The noisy shouts of "Kill, kill" mixed with fear overwhelmed everything at this moment. Suddenly, dozens of crossbow arrows appeared in the sky, carrying crisp sounds of breaking through the air, and shot towards the backs of Gan Mu and Mu She.
The sound of breaking through the air was drowned out by the shouts of the mercenaries, and Gan Mu was completely unaware of it. Between the two, only Mu She, who had broken through the combat master, sensed the threat by instinct, and dodged while shouting at Gan Mu, "Idiot, get out of my way!"
Gan Mu was confused when he heard this. The next second, there were a few crisp whooshing sounds, and seven or eight crossbow arrows pierced through Gan Mu's chest.
"How is this possible?" Gan Mu looked in disbelief at the bloody crossbow arrow stuck in the ground in front of him, then lowered his head to look at his bloody chest, with extreme unwillingness and resentment in his eyes, and fell into a pool of blood.
"Ah, the second captain is dead!!!" A terrified scream suddenly sounded from the crowd. The mercenaries who were besieging Xiao Se, who had already been defeated, scattered like birds and beasts upon hearing the words.
He looked at the crossbow arrow where he was standing before dodging, and then looked at Gan Mu who was lying in a pool of blood after being pierced through the chest by a crossbow arrow. A drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of Mu She's frowning face. Just now, if he had hesitated for a second, without any preparation, even with his strength as a fighting master, he would have ended up being either dead or disabled.
"Bastard, stop right there." Roaring at the fleeing mercenaries, Mu She stared at Xiao Se with fury.
When the surrounding mercenaries heard Mu Li's roar, they stopped fleeing, regrouped, stood beside Mu She, and looked at Xiao Se with fear.
"Boy, you are so despicable that you stab me from behind." Mu She raised his Guandao and pointed it at Xiao Se, his voice filled with extreme anger and resentment.
Xiao Se was not surprised that Little Medical Fairy's Zhuge Divine Crossbow did not kill Mu She. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders, looking calm, and said: "You can attack me, why can't I hold back a little? When it comes to meanness, you are the originator, and I am still your student!"
"Guys, be careful of sneak attacks. I'm going to skin him alive today." At this moment, Mu She was already blinded by rage. Two of his capable men were killed one after another, and he could no longer remain calm.
"Violent!"
At this moment, a sharp scream was heard in the sky, and a huge blue eagle swooped down, followed by handfuls of white powder. In a moment, the entire courtyard was covered in white powder. Except for Xiao Se who had dealt with several mercenaries who blocked the way and retreated to the courtyard gate, everyone below, including Mu She, was covered in dust.
A trace of powder entered his nose, and Mu She suddenly felt a little dizzy, and his fighting spirit gushed out of his body. The effect of the white powder was instantly suppressed.
After regaining consciousness, Mu She shouted, "This powder is poisonous, get back now."
Unfortunately, his warning was too late. Except for him, everyone else was contaminated with the white powder and passed out with foam at the mouth.
Seeing that the mercenary on the ground was not in danger of life, Mu She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his Guandao, jumped up, walked through the courtyard gate, and slashed straight toward Xiao Se with a deep yellow fighting spirit.
"Boy, I'm going to skin you alive today."
"Hmph, you don't know what you're talking about." Seeing the Mu snake swooping down to chop him down, Xiao Se snorted coldly, and a hint of sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He gripped the magic sword tightly, took the initiative, and slashed forward with a strong wind-breaking force.
The Guan Dao and the magic sword collided, and strong sparks spread out along with the harsh sound of metal clashing.
The next moment, the two men retreated dozens of meters at the same time, with their weapons stuck in the ground, leaving a long groove before they stopped.
In the first move, the two were evenly matched.
"This kid has such strength." Mu She was horrified when his all-out attack failed to defeat Xiao Se, but he remained calm on the surface.
His eyes were fixed on Xiao Se, or to be more precise, on the magic sword in Xiao Se's hand. In his eyes, this strange long sword could not only cut through iron like mud, but it was also very likely to have the effect of increasing the strength of the user.
Otherwise, the opponent, a mere nine-star fighter, would not be able to withstand the full force of his fighter.
Strictly speaking, Mu She was not wrong. The magic sword could indeed bring a great boost to its owner, and killing people above his level was as easy as eating and drinking water. He just didn't know that Xiao Se did not borrow the power of the magic sword.
Xiao Se was also somewhat surprised at Mu Li's strength. What he had just used was the sword-blocking move from Qin Shi Ming Yue's horizontal sword technique, which could remove most of the force of the opponent's attack and was one of the few defensive sword moves.
But he still couldn't resist it completely. At this moment, the blood in his body was surging, and his arms were numb from the powerful force of Mu Li.
After a brief pause, the two men fought again, with their long swords and Guandaos colliding with each other, sparks flying.
Gradually, Mu She discovered that Xiao Se's sword moves were becoming more and more sharp, clever, and powerful.
