Chapter Nineteen Crisis

  Seeing Todd's imposing momentum, Hua Yun clearly underestimated the speed of a 5th rank White Silver warrior. In just an instant, Todd's massive sword was already pressing in on him.

  Without a hint of panic in his heart, Hua Yun's body suddenly flashed to one side, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand had swiftly attached itself to the side of Todd's giant sword.

  A loud crash sounded, and Hua Yun only felt his right hand go numb. The long sword in his hand shattered into four or five pieces in an instant, and a violent force surged through his arm towards his body, causing Hua Yun to let out a stifled groan. A strong metallic taste welled up in his throat.

  At the critical moment of life and death, in the flash of lightning, Hua Yun's heart did not have a trace of fear. As he felt the strange power rising up his right hand, an idea burst forth from his mind uncontrollably.

  The essence of power is energy!

  Whether it's Qi, magic, or internal energy from his own world, in Hua Yun's view, they are all essentially the same - energy.

  The second layer of Wuji Xuan Gong cultivation requires internal energy, but after cultivating until now, Hua Yun's body has never cultivated even a single thread of internal energy. However, since the essence of Dou Qi, magic, and internal energy are all energies, can't his own magical powers be used as internal energy?

  At this moment, a doubt suddenly emerged in Huayun's mind.

  However, at this moment, there was no time for him to think carefully. The Inverse Heaven Technique that had not been fully cultivated could only slightly suppress the violent Dou Qi entering his body and could not eliminate it entirely. If he allowed it to wreak havoc within himself, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.

  Without hesitation, Hua Yun immediately activated the second layer of Wuji Xuan Gong's mental method to rapidly circulate the magical power of Luna stored within her body.

  Two forces intertwined rapidly within Huayun's body, and that magical power didn't slow down in the slightest under the operation of Wujixuanguo. With a momentum like a mighty river, it quickly dissolved the incoming Dou Qi into his own body.

  "Binding Spell!" Seeing that Huayun had been forced back, Todd felt a surge of joy and was about to rush out of the alley when he immediately heard Luna's loud shout from behind him.

  An invisible force suddenly appeared around Todd, binding the flow of Dou Qi in his body, causing his figure to involuntarily pause.

  "What a great opportunity!" Feeling Todd's speed slowing down, Huayun naturally wouldn't waste this perfect chance. He quickly moved in front of Todd, his internal magic circulating, his right hand instantly passing through Todd's arm that was blocking his chest, heavily striking the armor on Todd's chest.

  With a loud crash, a blue light suddenly appeared on Huayun's palm, and Todd flew out heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The steel armor on his chest cracked with several cracks under Huayun's palm strike.

  "Hua Yun, big brother, are you okay?!" Seeing Todd severely injured and lying on the ground, Luna quickly added a few more restraints to his body, then rushed forward in concern, looking at Hua Yun with eyes that held back tears.

  "Haha, I'm fine!" Huayun smiled at Luna, whose eyes were slightly red, and discovered that magic could be used as internal force, his current mood was great.

  He had been unable to cultivate the second layer of Wuji Xuan Gong due to this problem, but now that Hua Yun has solved this difficult problem, the joy in his heart is even greater than when he was a child and used his knowledge to save a plant for the first time. This shows that in this world where strength is respected, Hua Yun has gained another important means of survival.

  Seeing Huayun was fine, Luna's worried face couldn't help but break into a smile, and she immediately turned around to coldly stare at the mercenaries who had fallen to the ground, wailing incessantly, with a hint of murderous intent flowing from her eyes.

  Slowly walking up to Todd's front, a dazzling blue light burst forth on Luna's body, the tip of her staff pointing at Todd. Her tone was tinged with a hint of coldness: "Speak, why did you attack us? Our Blade Mercenary Group and your Wolf Mercenary Corps shouldn't have any grudges against each other!"

  Although there was some conflict between the two mercenary groups before, it hadn't reached a life-and-death level yet. She didn't know that Todd, one of the leaders of the first mercenary group in Kodo Town, had grown accustomed to being overbearing and arrogant. Seeing Luna come out alone earlier, and still harboring resentment from the previous incident at the Plant Master's shop, he began to plot her murder.

  And at this time, due to what happened earlier, the two mercenary groups can be said to have completely walked to opposing sides.

  Todd's face was cold, not saying a word, only staring at Luna and Hua Yun with venomous eyes, like a poisonous snake waiting for its prey, emitting an eerie chill.

  "Since you won't say anything, then forget it!" Luna didn't plan on asking any further either. After all, things had already turned out this way and no reason could change the life-and-death situation between them.

  Although killing Todd would be troublesome and might involve the town's peacekeepers, not killing them would cause even more trouble. Luna wouldn't let an enemy who could potentially threaten her in the future live to return.

  Don't look at Luna as a girl, soft and weak in appearance, but as a mercenary, she is absolutely ruthless when it comes to killing, which is something that Huayun, who has just arrived in this world, cannot match.

  This is the law of mercenaries, survival of the fittest, and also the law of this world!

  "Hold on!" Just as Luna was about to kill Todd, Hua Yun suddenly spoke up, "Let them go, anyway even if we kill them, the Crazy Wolf Mercenary Corps will find out that we're the culprits. Killing people here will also attract the town's security team."

  "Let him go?" Luna's tone was laced with a hint of doubt, "He is a fifth-rank White Silver warrior, who knows if he will secretly come after us in the future." Releasing someone like that would be too dangerous.

  "Don't worry, I won't give him a chance to retaliate, and I'll even have him send a warning to the Crazy Wolf Mercenary Group." Hua Yun's face wore an harmless smile as his right hand gently rested on Todd's shoulder, which was lying on the ground. Under the operation of the Inverse Heaven Technique, a stream of pure energy slowly flowed from Hua Yun's hand into Todd's body.

  "Alright, let's go!" Huayun stood up and walked out of the alley, while Luna didn't understand what Huayun had just done, but she didn't ask either. She simply followed behind Huayun as they exited the alley together.

  "Hmm!" A cold hum escaped his mouth, and after a while, Todd, who had lost the binding spell that bound him, slowly sat up, his right fist clenched, with intense hatred in his eyes.

  Unexpectedly spared me, humph, truly foolish. I won't be grateful or virtuous. I will definitely make you beg for life and death.
