Chapter 550: Resurrection
Chapter 550
They couldn’t help being startled . The newers all had powerful auras, and there were over a hundred of them who had at least reached the Meridian Opening realm .
Furthermore, there were six elders who emitted a particularly powerful pressure, one that made it seem as if they had merged with heaven and earth . It was actually six Xiantian experts .
“Zhang Qingyun, what do you think you’re doing?!” Mu Xue shouted angrily . She had already unsheathed her sword .
These people were the Muxue Mercenary Unit’s sworn enemies . They were the oldest mercenary unit in Qing Prefecture: the Ironblood Mercenary Unit .
Zhang Qingyun was the Ironblood Mercenary Unit’s leader . He appeared to be in his thirties, and his build was stocky . There was a long scar on his face that made him give off a savage feeling .
Zhang Qingyun was a true Xiantian expert who had reached the mid Xiantian realm . When the Muxue Mercenary Unit had just been formed, he had intentionally suppressed them .
In truth, Zhang Qingyun looked favorably upon Mu Xue’s talent and beauty . He wanted to take her as his own, but that matter had been ruined by the experts from Mo Gate .
Although he was very famous in the mercenary world, within the eyes of sects, mercenaries were all just second-rates, not much better than beggars . He didn’t dare do anything to Mo Gate; otherwise, he would probably die without even realizing how it had happened .
Although he had given the Muxue Mercenary Unit quite a bit of trouble behind the scenes, he hadn’t been able to stop their growth . A month ago, the Muxue Mercenary Unit’s strength had placed them within the top ten of the mercenary world .
Furthermore, what shocked him even more was that Mu Xue had reached the Xiantian realm . That was a grave threat to his position .
Within Qing Prefecture’s mercenary world, only three units had Xiantian experts within them, and they took the top three spots . Now that Mu Xue had reached the Xiantian realm, her mercenary unit would have to rank at least fourth .
Furthermore, Mu Xue had only just reached her twenties . On the other hand, Zhao Qingyun appeared to be in his thirties, but he was actually over fifty years old . That made him feel intense envy .
“Mu Xue, I wasn’t the one looking for you today . It was someone else who wanted to see you . ” Zhang Qingyun looked icily at Mu Xue with an expression that seemed to delight in her misfortune .
“I’ve long since heard of junior sister Mu Xue’s beauty and unsurpassed talent . Seeing you today is really my life’s greatest fortune . ”
Suddenly, another group of people arrived . The person at the front was a young man, and there were five Xiantian experts stood behind him .
That young man appeared to have just reached his twenties . He wore long robes with a jade belt . Although he was only at the Meridian Opening realm, his aura was extremely condensed .
The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s Meridian Opening experts were all suppressed by that aura .
“Luo Zhongsheng!”
Mu Xue’s pupils shrunk upon seeing this person, and she turned slightly pale . She immediately understood what was going on .
“Hahaha, I hadn’t expected junior sister Mu Xue to recognize me . It really is my blessing . ” Luo Zhongsheng was smiling sinisterly . Examining Mu Xue, a perverted light appeared in his eyes .
Mu Xue’s hair stood on end, but she forced herself to ask, “It couldn’t be that the junior master of the Giant Eagle Stronghold has e to find trouble for me, right?”
The Giant Eagle Stronghold was one of Qing Prefecture’s three great powers . Other than Mo Gate, no one could suppress them .
“How could I find trouble for you? It’s simply that I feel sad seeing you rushing around bitterly all day, so I came to accept you as a concubine . With my Giant Eagle Stronghold’s resources, I’m sure you’ll get much better treatment than staying with these idiots . How about it? Do you agree?” laughed Luo Zhongsheng .
“Fuck off!”
“You’re the idiot!”
“You really are garbage!”
“Fuck your grandmother, you really are looking to die!”
Luo Zhongsheng’s words caused the Muxue Mercenary Unit to erupt in a flurry of curses . They almost charged forward and attacked .
Luo Zhongsheng was clearly insulting them . They tightly clenched their weapons, prepared to fight at any moment .
“Luo Zhongsheng, for the grand junior master of the Giant Eagle Stronghold to bully us, do you even have any dignity?” raged Mu Xue, her body trembling with fury .
If it was just the Ironblood Mercenary Unit, she wouldn’t feel any fear . Although she hadn’t had time to refine the crystal bone, she wasn’t afraid of Zhao Qingyun .
Although they might be lacking numbers, the Muxue Mercenary Unit was only filled with elites unafraid of death . They wouldn’t lose in a fight .
But with the Giant Eagle Stronghold sticking their hands into this matter, it was pletely different . With their five Xiantian experts, the Muxue Mercenary Unit would definitely perish if they offended them .
“Hahaha, there’s no need to say any useless words . I heard that you accepted Mo Gate’s mission . I’ve been waiting for you this entire time .
“I don’t care whether or not you managed to obtain the darkness attribute core . Right now, I’ll give you two choices: return with me to the Giant Eagle Stronghold, or, hehe… die!” sneered Luo Zhongsheng .
“Your Giant Eagle Stronghold really is intolerable! We aren’t even a part of your struggle! Just what do you think you’re doing by targeting us?” raged Mu Xue .
“I don’t have the energy to argue with you . The cultivation world is just like this . In front of the strong, the weak don’t have any power to quibble . I’ve already asked you the question . So tell me, do you want to die or live?” sneered Luo Zhongsheng .
“Leader, you should run for now . We’ll block them . Once your cultivation base advances, you can get revenge for us . ”
The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members all fully released their auras, ready to charge forward at any moment .
“What ants are these? Scram!”
Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation spread . The pressure of Xiantian powers crashed down on the Muxue Mercenary Unit, and all of them felt as if the space around them had frozen . They were all unable to move .
It was the Giant Eagle Stronghold’s Xiantian experts that had taken action . These were all old ghosts that had lived for centuries . Their control over their Xiantian power was something a rookie like Mu Xue could not pare to .
The Muxue Mercenary Unit immediately fell into desperate straits . All their paths had been sealed now, and they were being watched by six Xiantian experts . Even a fly wouldn’t be able to escape from here .
“I knew you would refuse to accept until you were faced with reality . How about this? I’ll give you a chance . Mu Xue, I’ll challenge you with my late Meridian Opening strength .
“If you win, I’ll release all of you . If you lose, hehe, then just obediently bee my concubine .
“Of course, you can refuse this challenge . But the consequence will make the Muxue Mercenary Unit cease to exist within Qing Prefecture’s mercenary world . ” Luo Zhongsheng had clearly e prepared .
“Don’t agree with him, leader . Isn’t the worst case just death? We’ll go all-out against them!” cried one of them .
“Alright, I agree . ” Mu Xue icily glared at Luo Zhongsheng .
“Leader?!”
“Don’t say any more . I’ve decided I wanted to experience the power of Giant Eagle Stronghold’s junior master . ” Mu Xue waved her hand, cutting off their objections .
Although she knew this person very likely possessed the power to fight across realms, the situation was forcing her . She had to try . Wasn’t the worst case just dying in battle? That was better than just helplessly waiting for death to e .
“Hahaha, good . That’s exactly what I was waiting for . Everyone, fall back! Keep watch over the Muxue Mercenary Unit . Don’t let a single one of them escape!” ordered Luo Zhongsheng .
Everyone backed up, leaving an open space for Mu Xue and Luo Zhongsheng . The Giant Eagle Stronghold’s elders didn’t seem the slightest bit worried about their junior master . They surrounded Long Chen and the others, not giving them a chance to escape .
Once it was just Mu Xue and Luo Zhongsheng, Mu Xue raised her sword, her aura gradually condensing and her Xiantian power gradually rising .
“Long Chen, it seems Luo Zhongsheng isn’t the slightest bit worried . What should we do? You’re so smart, you can definitely think of something!” urged one of the women .
“Sigh, really, why bother?” Looking at Luo Zhongsheng, Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh .
“Long Chen, don’t just sigh! Think of some way to save sister Mu Xue!” she cried urgently .
“Don’t worry . I’m not sighing because of leader . ” Long Chen shook his head, quietly consoling her .
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out as Mu Xue attacked . Her sword slashed down upon Luo Zhongsheng’s arm, causing a metallic ringing .
“What? Could it be that Luo Zhongsheng has an unbreaking vajra body?!”
“It’s an arm guard,” said Long Chen indifferently . An unbreaking vajra body? Him? Please!
“Mountain Crushing Attack!”
Luo Zhongsheng suddenly shouted and golden light shone from his hand . A fist smashed towards Mu Xue .
BOOM!
When Luo Zhongsheng’s fist landed on Mu Xue’s sword, she was blown back, an unhealthy red light appearing on her face . She was actually injured by this one attack .
“What? How is that possible? How can he be so strong?”
“plete tempering . ” A touch of disdain appeared on Long Chen’s face . This was the thing that gave him the confidence to fight across realms, as well as the golden arm guard and a set of martial techniques that allowed him to fight barehanded against weapons .
More importantly, Mu Xue’s weapon wasn’t a Xiantian weapon . That made Long Chen look down on this junior master even more . This fellow had to have grown up eating chicken guts . He had even less guts than a chicken .
“Take another fist!”
Luo Zhongsheng shouted, and the power of plete tempering erupted from him . Fist-images filled the sky .
Once a cultivator underwent plete tempering, the new meridians they could form were shockingly durable . Their power couldn’t be calculated according to mon sense . The power of plete tempering forced Mu Xue back over and over again .
Mu Xue was pale now . She knew she had been taken in . Luo Zhongsheng had deliberately led her to this path to trap her .
BOOM!
Luo Zhongsheng’s fist once more smashed upon her, and Mu Xue almost coughed up blood . She barely managed to block it, but her sword shattered and she was blown back .
The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members were all horrified . They tried to charge forward, but they were held back by the Xiantian pressure .
“Haha, obediently bee my concubine . ”
Luo Zhongsheng sneered . He shot forward, catching up to Mu Xue who had yet to stabilize, and reached for her throat .
Suddenly, a large hand appeared out of nowhere and caught his wrist . At the same time, a sigh rang out .
“Really, why bother?”
