Chapter 27: Three Sides Join Hands

  In the forest.

  Barnard's iron hand shone with a silver light like a sharp sword, constantly interweaving together to form a dense silver light net that enveloped Luo Hao.

  In a tenfold gravity field, Luo Haojian strode as if flying, his broadsword slicing out strange arcs that tore the incoming light net into shreds.

  Barnard's expression remained unchanged, not showing any panic, but he kept a distance from Luo Hao all the time, constantly weaving the silver light together to form layer after layer of new silver nets, covering Luo Hao.

  The silver light net was unaffected by the tenfold gravity field, floating and dancing within it. The light nets that were torn apart by Luo Hao's sword re-entwined themselves as they danced, encircling Luo Hao's body.

  At a glance, Luo Hao seemed to be in the center of a shattered spider web. As his broadsword danced, those light nets were torn apart, but they did not disappear.

  Barnard and Rohau kept a safe distance, still casting more light nets towards Rohau, making the light nets around Rohau denser.

  Barnard sneered at Luo Hao, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "Friend, why bother resisting me? We only want two women, after all. My people have already gone to fetch them. Unless something unexpected happens, they should be caught by now. You can't escape my 'Silver Web' anyway, the outcome is already set in stone. Don't waste your energy."

  "If anything happens to them, I swear, I will slaughter every single one of you, the entire Hyena Mercenary Group!" Amidst the boundless light net, Luo Hao's expression was ferocious, and he said in a low voice: "I will devote my entire life's energy to hunting down your Hyena Mercenary Group, until I kill off every last member of yours!"

  Barnard's heart skipped a beat, he took a deep breath, nodded and said: "It seems I have to kill you."

  "Commander! Commander!" A shout came from afar, "Zhuo Ke is dead, he was poisoned to death with just a scratch on his arm!"

  Barnard's face sank, and he shouted: "Don't hold back! Kill those two for me quickly! Damn it! They actually used poison, in a bit they'll be dead and I'll have them dismembered to feed the demonic beasts, I want them to die without intact corpses!"

  Several mercenaries shouted in unison and took action together, chasing and killing Zhao Xin and Hu Long in the forest.

  Barnard gritted his teeth and activated "Silver Web" with all his might, enveloping the area where Luo Hao was in a desperate bid to engage him in a fight to the death.

  Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as fingers transformed into another large net and descended from the sky, covering Luo Hao's head.

  Lu Hao's face changed color, and his broadsword danced in his hand, but he couldn't cut off the new electric net.

  Those thick and thin fingers of lightning, numbering over a dozen, flickered with a dazzling aura, coiling in like a spiritual snake.

  Lu Hao was greatly shocked and hastily waved his broadsword, mobilizing all the essence in his body. The broadsword suddenly shone with a white light, forming ring after ring that surrounded his body.

  "Hehe! Hahaha!"

  A dozen or so lightning bolts the thickness of fingers, wrapped around and touched those white rings, immediately from Luo Hao's body came the sound of electric light bursts.

  Luo Hao's Yuan Qi suddenly accelerated several times faster!

  Under the terrible power of lightning, his physical strength was quickly consumed, and his face slowly turned pale.

  A sharp sword suddenly appeared above Luo Hao's head, with a fierce killing intent on the sword. It violently struck the circular ring on Luo Hao's body surface.

  "Boom!"

  Lu Hao's body shook violently, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his body stumbled and staggered backward.

  Barnard's "silver net" took advantage of the situation and wrapped Luo Hao up tightly, so that he couldn't move at all.

  "Hmph!"

  The sharp sword pierced Luo Hao's body, and the "Dark Moon" envoy with a pale mask on his face finally appeared.

  Along with him, there was also Mo Chou Ge of the Mo family. He walked out from behind an ancient tree, his ten fingers still flickering with lightning light.

  "Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"

  Mingyue's eyes turned ruthless as he thrust his sharp sword into Luo Hao's body three times in a row.

  The gravitational field slowly disappeared...

  "Older Brother Luo!"

  Zhao Xin's eyes turned red, and he wailed in grief.

  Arrow after arrow shot over, Zhao Xin's body became a porcupine under the dense arrows, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.

  On the other side, arrows were also flying, but the arrows on that side seemed to lack accuracy and did not kill Hu Long. Instead, they blocked the members of the mercenary group who were chasing Hu Long.

  Hú Lóng spotted the right moment, his eyes turned red, and he fled wildly in the forest, "Luo Da Shu is dead, Zhao Xin is dead, only Miss Mu can avenge them, I must bring the news to Miss Mu..."

  "Pursue!" The mercenaries of the Cangyan Mercenary Corps shouted, wanting to pursue, but found that arrows were falling from the sky, blocking their way forward.

  The faces of those mercenary troops darkened as they realized someone didn't want them to kill Hu Long, their fierce eyes scanning the surroundings for the archer's trail.

  One by one, figures with pale masks emerged from the forest, among whom were also some Mohist warriors, all holding crossbows and arrows, their expressions stern and murderous.

  "Why should you two help me kill him?" Barnard furrowed his brow, looking at the suddenly appearing Mo Xing Shi and Mo Zhao Ge, saying: "I shouldn't know you two, right? You're helping me take a life, what do you want to gain from it?"

  "We're not helping you." Ming Xing walked up, gave him a cold glance and said: "Lu Hao was originally an enemy of our 'Dark Abyss', we've been chasing and killing him all along, it's actually you who helped us out this time."

  Mo Chao Ge stood to one side, not rushing over, but instead furrowed his brow and asked: "Messenger, you said this guy was the strongest warrior protecting that little kid. Now that he's dead, do we still need to waste our time?"

  "Mm." Ming Xing nodded, "Don't worry, I left 'Dark Moon Fragrance' on Hu Long's body. I deliberately let my people release him, just to let him lead the way for us. After a while, we'll follow the 'Dark Moon Fragrance' and definitely find the person we need."

  "Good." Mo Chao Ge smiled slightly, "We're not far from our business alliance now. Once we've finished our business, would the envoy be interested in visiting my Mo family and discussing the details of our cooperation?"

  "No problem." Mingyue nodded slightly.

  In just a few short days, this "dark and mysterious" Mo Yue and Mo Chao Ge have actually hooked up, and secretly reached a clandestine agreement.

  "Why did you kill this man?" Barnard beckoned with his hand, and those mercenary troops had already gathered around him.

  "For a young girl, and a very thin little boy." Mo Chao Ge smiled, "I've long admired the great name of the Hu Ya Mercenary Corps. Today, I see that it's indeed well-deserved. I am Mo Chao Ge of the Mo Merchant Alliance. I don't know if the commander is interested in doing business with our Mo family?"

  "What business?" Barnard frowned.

  "Of course it's a profitable business! Haha, if you're interested, we can discuss the details carefully and ensure that you'll be satisfied." Mo Chao Ge said with a laugh.

  "This can be discussed later." Barnard pondered for a moment, saying: "If there's no unexpected situation, my men should have already captured the people you want. You want that young girl and child, but we can't just work for nothing. That fiery female mercenary will belong to our Crag Tooth Mercenary Group, how about it?"

  Barnard saw that the other party was not a good kind either, whether it was the "Dark" or the Mo family of the Business Alliance, they all had great power.

  This time, the leading Mingyue messenger and Mo Chao Ge were also in the Hundred Calamity Boundary. The boundary was not below him, and they had secretly reached a tacit understanding. After weighing it in his heart, Barnard knew that his own strength could not withstand the combined power of these two parties, so he could only retreat.

  Mo Chao Ge didn't answer, instead he looked towards that "Darkness" Ming Yue Shi.

  Mingyue's eyes flickered with a hint of coldness, and he nodded slowly, "No problem."

  "Alright, let's go get him then." Seeing that he had agreed, Barnard also breathed a sigh of relief. He had just witnessed the ruthlessness of these two men and didn't want to fight them either.

  ……

  Mù Yǔ tiě jìu xià lái, xiǎo xīn yǐ yǐ de wèi shí yán bāo zā shāng kǒu.

  Translation:

  Muyü carefully squatted down and carefully bandaged the stone rock's wound.

  With a calm face, Shi Yan remained silent, sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, carefully examining the changes in the wound on his shoulder and the purification of Tu Mu's vital energy within his body's acupoints. His mind was focused, without any distractions, not even glancing at Mu Yu Die once.

  "This guy is sometimes shameless to the point of being deadly, and at other times he's even more upright than a real gentleman. He's really a strange person..."

  Mo Yu's heart was secretly strange, and when Shi Yan looked at her on ordinary days, his eyes were unbridled and unrestrained, without any concealment.

  At this time, she was so close to Shi Yan that they could smell each other's scent, but at this moment, Shi Yan didn't even glance at her and didn't show a single hint of impropriety, which left her puzzled.

  Mu Yu's heart was filled with doubts, and he couldn't quite get a read on what kind of person Shi Yan really was.

  Shi Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind sinking into his body.

  The cells at the wound on his shoulder were extremely active, and he could feel that the wound was slowly recovering under the effect of "Undying Warrior Soul" even if he didn't do anything.

  The essence of evil from Tu Muo is purified in the body's meridians, and strange negative emotions secretly grow...

  After unleashing the "berserk", he felt weak and numb in his limbs, sore to death, and his strength seemed unable to be lifted for a short time. This familiar aftereffect made him feel uncomfortable all over, but he couldn't help it.

  Not far away, Diya Lan rested for a while and came back to her senses. She began to feel around on the body of Na Tu Muo.

  One minute later, Di Ya Lan walked up to Mu Yu Die and Shi Yan with a small bag in hand, saying: "This guy has some food on him, some materials from those demonic beasts, and three 'Starlight Bolts'. Those materials from the demonic beasts are useless to us, but these 'Starlight Bolts' are extremely toxic."

  "Star Thunder?" Shi Yan's eyes suddenly had a hint of interest, staring at the fist-sized blue iron lump, and asked curiously: "What is it used for?"

  "This thing will suddenly explode with a shock, shooting out star-like sharp blade fragments in all directions. The blade fragments are extremely sharp and have a strong impact force, even the energy shield of a cultivator can be pierced through. This is a very vicious secret treasure. It's not cheap, just these three, at least 4,000 to 5,000 black crystal coins!" Di Ya Lan explained.

  "Indeed it's toxic enough! Give it to me." Shi Yan stretched out his hand and naturally asked Di Ya Lan for it.

  "Heavy footsteps! Thud thud thud!" The heavy footsteps suddenly rang out.

  Diya Lan's face changed, holding a short sword with a vigilant expression.

  Shi Yan roughly pushed away Mu Yu Die, let out a cold hum, and also stood up with his dagger, staring at the direction of the incoming person with a cold expression.

  Xiong's chest was covered in blood, his eyes were bright red, and he stumbled over to me.

  After seeing Diya, Hu Long suddenly became choked with sobs and said: "Lao Shu and Zhao Xin are dead, Miss Mu! They died so miserably! You must avenge them!"
