Chapter 544: Punishnt
Having said that, Dugu Feng imdiately brought out a giant sword made of flas. After a violent jerk of his hand, a blaze of flas began to coil around the blade before an inferno ignited on it. A halo of light burst from the sword. It brought forth such a dazzling glow that the surrounding shadows were completely obliterated.
“Impossible, that’s the essence of fire!”
“It’s the essence of fire, he’s an Earth Saint Master!”
“Everyone run away! He’s an Earth Saint Master!”
At this display of strength, the smarter mbers of the Defiance rcenaries quickly beca pale in the face. The spurt of courage that had welled up in them earlier had instantly vanished just as quickly it ca. Without any more courage to fight, they began to retreat in terror.
A gleam of light flashed in Dugu Feng’s eyes as he twirled his giant sword in a violent motion. The light from the fire on his sword filled the sky. He then quickly brought forth another burst of flas, but this ti he directed them down the streets with lightning speed.
“Bang!”
The street was washed with a plu of smoke, and the marble substance on them had crumbled as easily as tofu. A fissure about a third of a ter deep appeared in the street as a surge of Saint Force filled the area; forcing the entire street to tremble as if it was experiencing an earthquake.
Feeling the explosive might that ca from a casual swing of Dugu Feng’s sword, every mber of the Defiance rcenaries felt miserable beyond belief. At this mont, practically every person could only think about how terrifying an Earth Saint Master was.
Calmly recollecting his sword, Dugu Feng stared emotionlessly at the Defiance rcenaries. “Whoever crosses this line, consider your life forfeit!” He spat.
The entire group of rcenaries was practically quaking with fear, for the fissure was barely in front of their feet. Everyone could only look at the line as if it represented death itself. Not a single person dared to cross it.
On the other side, the one-ard man could only stare at the red-robed Dugu Feng in shock. He had been thrown into silence by the scene in front of him. The man could hardly believe that the captain of the Fla rcenaries was capable of commanding an Earth Saint Master to do his bidding.
In the small city that was Wake City, Great Saint Masters were already considered the epito of strength. In the entire city, there would only be twenty of them at most. Earth Saint Masters would hardly find any worth by heading to such a small city in this area. In the case that one did arrive, then they would indisputably be the strongest expert around. In the scope of the entire city, none would be a match for them.
Now that the Fla rcenaries had an Earth Saint Master leveled expert, just who in Wake City would dare go against them?
The Fla rcenaries were astonished by Dugu Feng’s strength as well, but soon their expressions were quickly filled with joy and their bodies began to shake with trepidation. If soone as strong as an Earth Saint Master listened to their captain, then wouldn’t that an that this person was one of their own?
Jian Chen tossed the bottle he had forcibly taken from the one-ard man’s hand over to Kai Er, “Hurry up and take the antidote!”
“Yes, captain!” Kai Er enthusiastically responded. Twisting off the stopper to the bottle, they each poured a drop of the liquid into their mouths before they passed the bottle on.
There had been plenty of antidote within the bottle for everyone to have so. Even better, more than half of the bottle remained, contradicting the words that the One-ard Warrior had said earlier about there being a limited supply.
After administering the antidote, every poisoned rcenary soon felt the color return to their faces. Soon enough, the poison was flushed from their systems, and was no longer a threat to their lives.
Jian Chen leaped off his magical beast mount and walked up to Kai Er. “It seems that my return was in ti to save your lives. A lot must have happened in these last two years. Why don’t I see Duo Kang, Seth, and Weiss? Where have they gone?”
A grieved look appeared on Kai Er’s face, “Captain, it was all because of our inabilities. The strong rcenary group you left us with is now reduced to these several dozen mbers. A year ago, Duo Kang, Seth, and Weiss ca across an accident that marked their eternal departure from us. From the seven of us, only four remain.”
Jian Chen could only sigh with regret at that. Those seven n had been the strongest n he had managed to bring under his control. At the sa ti, they served as the pillar of the Fla rcenaries, so he had felt exceptional concern for the seven.
Suddenly, the whistling sound of air could be heard. The one-ard man took the opportunity to escape while Jian Chen reminisced with the Fla rcenaries. With a sudden leap, he tried to bound over the rooftops in an attempt to get away.
Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed in irritation, but he did not turn his body or head around. Instead, he pointed a finger behind him. A flash of Sword Qi ca flying from his finger and flew through the air with unbelievable speed before coming into contact with the right arm of the One-ard Warrior.
“Ah!” The one-ard man let out a miserable shout. The only arm he had was bisected. It flopped to the floor while a stream of blood ca flying out from his arm like a bloody rainstorm.
The One-ard Warrior fell from the sky to the ground in a sorry state of pain. He only had one arm to begin with, and that was the reason why he was known as the One-ard Warrior. For his remaining arm to be gone now, he was nothing more than a handicapped man.
Every single mber of the Defiance rcenaries felt horrified to see their leader crippled. One by one, they looked at Jian Chen with fearful eyes. The One-ard Warrior was the strongest within their Defiance rcenaries. His defeat was an extre blow to the Defiance rcenaries as a whole.
Kai Er and the other three were once more floored by Jian Chen’s strength since he had easily cut off and crippled the man’s remaining arm. Their faces soon beca ecstatic. If the Fla rcenaries follow a strong figure such as Jian Chen as their captain, then their success would be imasurable.
“The peerless miracle that our captain has given us has opened my eyes to the world.” Mo Tian couldn’t help but emotionally remake. His eyes were brimming with tears as he spoke; seeing Jian Chen’s strength seed to have given Mo Tian a glimpse of the glorious tomorrow of the Fla rcenaries. Having such a strong captain lead the rcenaries would make it extrely hard for the group not to grow.
Jian Chen smiled and looked at the four and sixty mbers of the Fla rcenaries with admiration. “You’ve done well as the pride of the Fla rcenaries. In the future, I, Jian Chen, will waste no effort to help you grow.” After experiencing such hardships, the remaining mbers of the Fla rcenaries were without a doubt worth Jian Chen’s respect and his investnt to make them strong.
So, Jian Chen felt determined to not even bother training anyone else.
Jian Chen’s words made Kai Er and the others extrely happy, “Many thanks to the captain for your guidance.”
The previous mbers of the Fla rcenaries who chose to live all felt regret appear on their faces. Seeing that there was no way to escape, they could only look back with gloomy and fearful expressions as mbers of the Defiance rcenaries. Then looking back to the captain of the Fla rcenaries, who had suddenly returned, the ones who chose life over death had imdiately felt ashad.
Earlier, they had chosen to live by leaving the Fla rcenaries after being backed into a corner by the Defiance rcenaries. They had previously thought they wouldn’t need to fear for their lives, but who would have known that the situation would have taken such a drastic turnabout. The tides of victory that the Defiance rcenaries had once held suddenly changed when the captain of the Fla rcenaries reappeared to toss them into a hole. Whether they could leave or not would depend on the mood of the Fla rcenaries. Therefore, the Fla rcenaries who betrayed them felt incomparably embarrassed and ashad by their actions to the point where they could hardly look into the eyes of the brothers they had once fought shoulder to shoulder with.
Jian Chen’s eyes hovered over the group where the Defiance rcenaries stood, but the Fla rcenaries who had chosen to leave could only hang their heads in sha, unable to look at Jian Chen.
“I will leave judgent of the Defiance rcenaries to you. Whether they die or live, it is up to you to decide.” Jian Chen spoke calmly without looking at the ex-mbers of the Fla rcenaries.
“The One-ard Warrior and his Defiance rcenaries must be disposed of. Their hands are stained with the blood of our brothers. How could I not take revenge for my fallen brothers?” Mo Tian’s teeth gnashed against each other as he spoke with a murderous fire in his eyes.
Hearing that, the Great Saint Masters of the Defiance rcenaries grew startled. Giving each other a look, they imdiately leaped to the sky. They leapt into every direction possible in order to escape.
They had killed many of the Fla rcenaries before, so they knew that to stay behind was to await death without hope. As things were, they may as well try their best to escape for a chance at life.
Ming Dong mockingly laughed, “If I let you escape right under my nose, I’d have no face to hand over to my brothers.” With that, Ming Dong and Dugu Feng imdiately lashed out with their arms. They shot out several blades of Sword Qi that bisected all of the Great Saint Masters in half. Blood and body parts ca raining down from the sky with their deaths.
Watching the strongest mbers of their group be easily killed by the individuals of the opposing side, the rest of the Defiance rcenaries had gone ghostly white in terror of Dugu Feng and Ming Dong.
“Please spare us, captain Jian Chen! A thousand pardons! We will leave the Defiance rcenaries for the Fla rcenaries and work like oxen if need be! Please forgive us this once! I still have a wife and child to take care of back ho!”
“Please forgive us, captain Jian Chen...”
Everyone from the Defiance rcenaries knew where all the power lay now. So of the ones unwilling to die began to kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly in desperation.
Qingfeng walked up to them step by step, “Our Fla rcenaries will not kill every last one of you, but we won’t just let you off so easily. Hand over your Space Belts and you may leave.”
“We’ll do it, we’ll do it...”
Qingfeng’s words were like the song of a gospel to the ears of the Defiance rcenaries. As if they were granted amnesty, not a single one of them hesitated to relinquish their Space Belts. They obediently handed them over. Two Earth Saint Masters appearing caused their hearts to feel an unbelievable amount of pressure.
Just then, one of the mbers who previously chose to leave the Fla rcenaries to live walked up to Qingfeng, “Boss, would it be possible for to rejoin the Fla rcenaries? You know that I have family at ho unlike the rest of my carefree brothers. I can’t die, and there was no other choice.”
Qingfeng was quiet and turned to look at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen thought for a mont before waving his hand, “You may leave. As thanks for your service for once being a mber of the Fla rcenaries you need not hand over you things, just leave.”
The Defiance rcenaries had all given their Space Belts before being able to leave from this place in peace. True to their words, the Fla rcenaries did not kill everyone without reason. However, the traitors that had poisoned them were tied up.
