Ye Xuan was completely dumbfounded on the spot.
What the hell is this?
No respect for the old, no respect for the old at all!
Guys, could you please get the situation straight? Although I’m pretty impressive, I’m still just a young man in my early twenties, and many people in Yan Country think I’m just a pretty boy.
If you keep playing like this, I’m going to lose years off my life!
Ye Xuan’s sword-like eyebrows flew up, and he said sternly, "What are you doing? Stand up imdiately for !"
"If the Black Emperor doesn’t allow it, we won’t get up!" The old Burton took the lead in playing rogue.
"If the Black Emperor doesn’t allow it, we won’t get up!"
The other old geezers chid in.
Ye Xuan put a big hand on his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
He never knew that these filthy rich old fools in front of him could be so shaless.
It’s simply a dead end!
But Burton and the others were resolute, and their resolve was growing stronger.
They weren’t being rogues; they genuinely wanted to help Black Emperor, even if it was just a tiny bit of power.
It wasn’t that they were particularly sentintal or righteous; they had their own self-interests at heart.
They were very aware that the wealth they now possessed was all granted by the Black Emperor. It’s no exaggeration to say that if Purgatory ceased to exist, everything they had would collapse and be destroyed as well.
They were all a group of dying people, and in the last monts of their lives, taking a hand in helping Purgatory, whether they died or not was good, because what if Purgatory won in the end because of their help?
In that case, their families could continue to prosper; otherwise, they would lose everything, and not just their few old bones would die.
A businessman’s nature is to be shrewd; they never do losing deals...
Ye Xuan gazed at Burton and the others for a long while, feeling helpless in his heart.
He of course knew that the decision of this group of old n was wise, but such a war, even if they were people of this land, once involved, it was a life-and-death situation.
One could even say outright that they were here to sacrifice themselves!
"Please grant us our wish, Lord Black Emperor!" Burton and others once again pleaded.
Ye Xuan pulled the corners of his mouth, sighed bleakly, "Alright, since you have the heart, let’s do it together."
Better to obey than to show respect.
Burton and others were overjoyed and only then were willing to stand up. Their body fat jiggled, truly making them tired just to take a few steps.
Burton looked at Ye Xuan with joy and said, "Lord Black Emperor, now we are your soldiers, please make plans for us!"
"There’s no plan," Ye Xuan said indifferently, "Just follow into the mountains, kill the enemies on sight, try to ensure your own safety. The longer you live, the greater the contribution, whether you live to the end, depends on your own fate."
"Yes!"
Burton and the others were exhilarated. Since they ca here, they had long considered themselves as dead n.
What joy in life, what sorrow in death.
Ye Xuan gave them one last look, smiled helplessly, then no longer hesitated, stepping into the mountains.
The gunfire in the mountains was about to cease soon.
Now, it was ti for him, the fisherman, to enter and reap the rewards!
...
At this mont in the mountains, the battle was utterly tragic.
The more than two hundred rcenaries, ford by several small teams, collided with hundreds of hungry and fierce wild wolves. Their confrontation resulted in countless casualties.
Although these rcenaries were not on par with the previous Seal rcenary Army, after all, they were on the beast’s turf. Even though they were good at jungle warfare, at night, their casualties were heavy.
After they cleared the wolves, many rcenaries had run out of bullets, with over a hundred dead on the spot, more than seventy seriously injured, and now less than thirty still combat-capable.
"Damn it!" The leader, Basel, wiped the blood from his forehead, snarling grimly, "We fell into that bastard Black Emperor’s trap, he never entered the mountain!"
"Damn Black Emperor, making us lose so many brothers, we have to kill him!" a rcenary said wrathfully.
"This ti, with multiple forces teaming up, Black Emperor is dood!" Basel pondered, "Since he hasn’t entered the mountain yet, he’s likely to continue sabotaging the small teams at various exits, quickly contact our allies, and warn them to be extra cautious!"
The rcenary responsible for intelligence took out a walkie-talkie, ready to deliver the latest ssage to the allies.
Just then.
Bang!
A deafening gunshot suddenly rang out, a sharp and fierce bullet streaked through, directly piercing the intelligence officer’s head.
Basel and others were taken aback.
And Burton, lurking in the dark, was over the moon, leaping up, "I killed soone! I killed an enemy! Oh my God, I’m a genius!"
Burton felt proud of his shooting skills.
But the next mont, he felt a chill down his spine.
Because the enemy had spotted him, beams of flashlight focused on him, exposing him completely.
Burton’s smile stiffened, was I just a bit too excited?
"Fuck!" Basel, seeing Burton, was furious, "Where did this lunatic old man co from? Kill him, kill him!"
Imdiately, countless rcenaries aid their guns at Burton.
Burton, cried in his heart that it was over.
His old companions who ca with him were likewise alard, hurriedly raising their guns to kill the enemy.
However, neither side had the chance to pull the trigger.
Because before the bullets left their barrels, a formidable killing intent and Sword Qi suddenly enveloped the entire scene.
The chilling aura of death swept through everyone’s heart, causing them all to shiver slightly, delaying the shooting.
A slender young figure descended from the sky.
He wielded a long sword with extraordinary poise.
Yet before everyone could clearly see his appearance, his newly landed figure vanished mysteriously.
As if it was just an illusion, as if such a person didn’t exist at all.
But the fact proved he was real.
He had arrived...
Brilliant cold light flashed, Sword Qi like a rainbow.
Slash!
A crisp and sharp sound echoed, as if soone had swung a sword through the air, yet in reality, he had already swung several
In an instant, among the less than thirty rcenaries left, half of them froze in place, eyes wide open, instinctively clutching at their necks, unable to stop the gushing arterial blood.
Slash!
The sa sound echoed again, the remaining half of the rcenaries t the sa fate.
Slash, slash, slash!
The harsh, unrelenting sound kept echoing. Over seventy severely injured rcenaries lying on the ground also inexplicably departed on the path to the Netherworld.
In just the blink of an eye.
This contingent of more than two hundred rcenaries, after enduring the wolves’ onslaught, was finally wiped out, effortlessly destroyed by soone, completely annihilated.
Leaving only one last person.
That was their leader, Basel.
