Chapter 542: Crisis of the Fla rcenaries
The one-ard man’s words caused the four n standing in front of the Kai family’s gates to harden their expressions. Qing Feng had been the first to fire back, “One-ard Warrior, bite your tongue. Just how could the imnsity of our captain’s strength be explained by you?”
“Haha, true enough. I feel that this Jian Chen’s strength is nothing more than hearsay. Whatever his true strength is, I have never seen it before. What I am sure is that he is still not yet at the strength of an Earth Saint Master. If he wasn’t one before he went to Gathering of the rcenaries, then he’s certainly looking to die an early death. It’s been a long ti since the ending of that event anyways. If your captain Jian Chen was still alive, then why hasn’t he returned?” The man sneered.
Seeing that no one could reply, the one-ard man continued on, “I bet you’ve all already reached an answer. You’re just not willing to accept it. Then why don’t I say it for you? Your captain died in rcenary City. He will never co back here alive.”
The man’s words caused every single rcenary from the Fla rcenaries to blanch, but they quickly schooled their emotions.
At this, the man could only shake his head in disappointnt. He had originally planned on striking at their morale to influence them all over to his side. In the end it had been fruitless.
How would he know that the hundred mber strong Fla rcenaries were all previously the rcenaries under the command of the Great Saint Masters Qingfeng, Mo Tian, Duo Kang, Charcas, Seth, Kai Er, and Weiss. In their hearts, these seven n were the leaders that they would die for; n that they would continue to follow with unflinching conviction.
“One-ard Warrior, don’t bother wasting ti with this sche of yours. We will follow our captain to the death. You may as well give up; our Fla rcenaries will never join your Defiance rcenaries. If you still wish to continue with this thought of yours, then we may as well waste no ti and get to fighting.” Kai Er spoke. Although they weren’t as strong as they once were in the past and were just below the Defiance rcenaries in strength, the final outco between the two would be disastrous.
The one-ard man’s face darkened as he bit his lip, “I’ve given you a chance, but you were unfortunate enough to not cherish it. If this is it, do not bla for being ruthless now. Brothers, let us fight!” At his command, every single man behind him began to take out their Saint Weapons one by one.
“Brothers, let us fight!” Kai Er and the others called out, unwilling to lag behind. As soon as they spoke, several dozen n from within the Fla rcenaries took out a bottle from their Space Belts and smashed it onto the ground. Soon, the courtyard was filled with a light-green smog of smoke after the bottles had been broken. The smog obscured the sight of everyone.
The actions of these these man confused the surrounding Fla rcenaries. Flabbergasted, they all looked around without any understanding of what was happening.
Noticing the commotion going on behind him, Qingfeng turned around only to discover the light-green smog of smoke gradually dispersing into the open air around them. Stunned for just a brief mont, Qingfeng imdiately snapped back to focus with a cry, “Poison! Everyone hold your breath!”
“Hahaha, it’s too late for that.” The one-ard man laughed in an unrestrained manner from outside the courtyard.
“You...!” Mo Tian furiously glared at the man with a frightening expression. His eyes glead with a furious and unrestrained killing intent as he ground his teeth, “One-ard Warrior, I took you to be a man. To think that you’d actually use such a two-bit thod; I’ve misjudged you.”
“Hahahaha, what thod isn’t useful? Let tell you, as long as a thod brings you victory, then it is a good thod! If you want to survive on the continent, then you can’t afford to be inflexible! Otherwise, you won’t survive for long.” The one-ard man laughed.
“Take an antidote, now! Kill the traitors in our ranks!” Kai Er whirled around to command the Fla rcenaries.
Needless to say, the mbers of the Fla rcenaries had already taken out several antidotes from their Space Belts. Administering them, they turned to face the traitors that had tried to poison them with infuriated glares and murderous auras.
After taking several steps forward, each one of the rcenaries had paused with a pained expression on their faces. Coughing, they all began to cough out blood from their mouths as the poison within them finally took effect.
Kai Er, Mo Tian, Qingfeng, and Charcas were startled by this sight, “What a strong poison!” One of them couldn’t help but cry out.
Pleased with himself, the one-ard man smiled, “Of course! This is a poison I synthesized after paying a heavy price. It isn’t any normal type of poison, it has two steps to it! The first step is to use a type of poisonous seed that’ll hide itself within your body without detection. It’ll slowly germinate and grow within your body bit by bit without any of you ever noticing. Then, after using a special thod, the seed will begin to rapidly unfold and cause a trendous amount of pain. This poisonous smoke was the trigger for the poison to activate within your body!”
“This smoke isn’t anything special in terms of toxicity. It’s only function is to activate the poison inside you since it doesn’t require to be breathed in. As long as the body is in contact with it, then the poison will be triggered. Its effects are so strong that in four hours, you’ll find yourself waking up by the Yellow Springs!” By now, the one-ard man was laughing out loud. “There’s one more thing I forgot to tell you, the antidote to this poison can’t be bought! So don’t waste your ti taking those antidotes won’t help you here. At most, you’ll alleviate so of the symptoms, but you won’t be able to cure yourself of my poison.”
“One-ard Warrior, so you’ve been planning this for all this ti! A month ago, you must have had those traitors of ours plant the poison in our food!” Kai Er roared with fury. The poison in his body had already started to activate as blood started to leak from his mouth.
“Correct! But that can’t be blad on . Who told you not to surrender the Fla rcenaries to ? If you only just surrendered earlier, then this wouldn’t have happened to you.” The one-ard man laughed before taking out a palm-sized bottle. “You have four hours. Follow and prosper, or defy and die. You have a choice between life or death, and I have only a limited supply. Whoever cos first gets so. Otherwise, pity will be given for the ones that have none.”
The entire Fla rcenaries grew quiet now as the poison within their bodies continued to get worse. By this point, everyone’s faces were deathly pale as blood stread from their mouths.
“One-ard Warrior, don’t even think you can persuade us with your two-bit thods! I, Mo Tian, will never let you live easily for this life of mine!” Mo Tian barked as he took out his Saint Weapon. Just as he took a single step forward, a coughing sound ca from his mouth and blood erupted from it.
“If I may offer you so advice; don’t try using your Saint Force. It’ll only serve to increase the growth of the poison even more and accelerate your death.” The man spoke with a smile. His eyes turned to the n behind Mo Tian, “Take use of the opportunity that the poison hasn’t yet reached your hearts. If you wish to live, then hurry up and swear allegiance to my Defiance rcenaries. Otherwise, the poison will reach your heart by nightti. By that point, this antidote of mine will be useless to help you. I only have a limited quantity of this antidote, so choose quickly and don’t regret the choice you make!”
After a mont, there were finally several rcenaries that didn’t wish to die. One by one, they slowly walked out of the compound.
Watching those n leave their ranks, Kai Er and the others could only sigh to themselves. They couldn’t bla them.
Soon, more and more rcenaries decided to live and serve the Defiance rcenaries rather than die. In the end, only sixty or so n were left from the original hundred plus n.
The one-ard man glanced at Kai Er and the other three with a chuckle, “Kai Er, Qingfeng, Mo Tian, Charcas, what do you think? There’s not many antidotes left, but if you choose to enter my Defiance rcenaries now, I won’t mistreat you.”
“The might of the One-ard Warrior is far too inadequate for us four to join you.” Mo Tian snarled in disdain.
Slowly taking up his giant sword, Charcas turned back to look at his sixty or so pale-faced brothers. Heroically, he spoke, “My brothers! I am proud of you all, for you are n among n, n born from steel itself! Death is not sothing to fear! If death is all that we face, then let us pick up our weapons and defend our honor. If we are to die, then we will die magnificently. If we are to die, then we will take with us a sacrifice. We will not let the Defiance rcenaries walk away unhard!”
Qingfeng raised up his long sword with a heroic aura, “Brothers! Let us fight side by side in this final battle!”
“For battle! For war! For glory!” The remaining mbers of the Fla rcenaries roared out to the heavens one after another in response to Mo Tian and Qingfeng. Although they were all pale in the face and were bleeding blood from their mouths, their eyes remained unwavering and unafraid of death. They had already given up their fear of death.
At this sight, the one-ard man’s face darkened. Snorting, he spoke, “If you wish to die, then I’ll grant you all that favor! Kill them all!”
The group of n behind the one-ard man began to let loose a bestial and bloodthirsty amount of killing intent before charging toward the n in the compound.
Suddenly, a red glow of light exploded into view as a single flaming longsword ca flying at trendous speeds from the other end of the road. In an instant, it impacted the ground in front of the compound. With a trendous explosion of energy, the n from Defiance rcenaries were imdiately reduced to a pitiful state.
