Chapter 33 - 33 32 Poison Snake Mercenary Group

33: Chapter 32 Poison Snake Mercenary Group 33: Chapter 32 Poison Snake Mercenary Group The night was still all around. Only the fire by Lin Xuan’s side crackled and popped, the black arrows flying silently through the air, reminiscent of the call of Death itself. Clang! In the nick of time, Lin Xuan swung his longsword, sending the black short arrow flying away. This action instantly roused the likes of the Blood-colored Mercenary Group; Du Ping and the others quickly grabbed their weapons, vigilantly looking in all directions. Tang Yu, too, had a cold expression, her large, distinct eyes shining with an icy glow. “Brother Lin, what’s going on?” Du Ping asked. “I don’t know, but that arrow was flying towards you!” Lin Xuan said gravely. “Me?” Du Ping was stunned. The next moment, when he saw the black short arrow that had flown into the tree trunk, his face turned dark. “Poison Snake Mercenary Group!” Du Ping took a deep breath. “What? Those bastards have actually followed us here!” the other mercenaries shouted. “Brother Lin, this time we’ve implicated you,” Du Ping said with remorse. “Don’t worry, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will ensure your safety!” “How strong are they?” Lin Xuan was very concerned about this question; at this time, quarreling was useless. Only by working together could they survive. “Their strength is comparable to ours, but who knows how many of them there are?” Du Ping said. Whoosh! Whoosh! Several more black short arrows flew in from different directions, and Lin Xuan and the others shielded themselves, gradually retreating to huddle together. “They’ve surrounded us!” Lin Xuan said calmly. Behind them was a mountain wall, and before them, an unknown enemy. During their conversation, another volley of arrows flew past. “Damn it!” Du Ping and the others were so frustrated by the arrows that they couldn’t fight back and could only shout, “Come out if you dare, you bastards from the Poison Snake Team. I will beat you down!” “Heh, heh, save that talk for King Yan!” A chilling voice came from the darkness. Whoosh! Before the sound had died away, Tang Yu’s slender jade hand flicked out, three silver needles flashing coldly as they shot out into the darkness, followed by a muffled grunt. “Everyone, be careful, there’s a master of hidden weapons on the other side!” someone from the opposing side warned. Lin Xuan was startled; he had never known that Tang Yu could use hidden weapons and looked at her with some surprise. “Hmph!” Tang Yu proudly lifted her chin, then gave Lin Xuan a big white eye. “Yo, there’s actually a beauty here!” The chilly voice from the darkness sounded again. “I never expected to encounter such stunning beauty deep in the mountain forest; it seems Heaven has not been unkind to me!” “Whoosh, whoosh!” Tang Yu, with a cold expression, shot out several more silver needles, but this time they were all dodged by the Mysterious Person. “Hmph, you spineless rat, if you have the guts, come out!” Tang Yu snorted angrily, having missed. “Since the beauty insists, the Young Captain shall make his appearance!” The voice was filled with mockery. In the meantime, Lin Xuan and the others did not make any rash moves, still cautiously watching their surroundings to avoid being hurt by a surprise arrow. As expected, before long, a group of people emerged from the darkness, clad in silver armor, terrifying with the depiction of a fierce large snake on their chests. Among them, one was a young man in his twenties with a war saber hanging at his waist; right now, he was staring at Tang Yu, his eyes filled with loathing. “Truly a peerless beauty, in a while, I’ll make sure to treat you really ‘well’!” the young man with the saber laughed. “Pah! Shameless!” Tang Yu’s face showed disgust. “It’s really you scumbags!” As soon as Du Ping saw the young man with the saber, he immediately roared, “I should have never let you off back then!” “Who the hell are you to meddle in my affairs? It’s just killing a few people, playing around a bit, what’s there to be so worked up about!” the young man said with disdain. “Dare to offend me, and you are sure to die today!” The young man with the saber was extremely arrogant. He wasn’t wrong in his thinking: on Du Ping’s side, there were a total of seven people, among them Du Ping was at the Sixth-tier of Muculation, the others at the Fifth Level of Pulse Condensing, and he also noticed a Fourth-stage of Congealing Veins youth. Whereas on his own side, just those at the Sixth-tier of Muculation numbered two people, and those at the Fifth Level of Pulse Condensing were more than a dozen—killing them would be as easy as pie. “Hmph, a Fourth Rank Mystical Realm kid dares to come into these deep mountains, truly an idiot!” the young man said with disdain. Lin Xuan immediately felt displeased. How dare he look down on me? I’ll show you! “I advise you to simply cease, and after the Young Captain has enjoyed this, maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll let you go!” “Your grandpa!” Du Ping was already anxious—they were all hot-blooded men, how could they allow themselves to be bullied? The five of the Blood-colored Mercenary Group instantly charged forth, and Tang Yu also launched her hidden weapons once again. This time she didn’t ambush the young man with the saber, but targeted the ordinary mercenaries. Indeed, a moment later, sounds of muffled grunts were heard. “Attack!” the young man with the saber commanded with a wave of his hand, and the mercenaries behind him rushed forward. In the air, there was a surge of intense Spiritual Power fluctuations as Du Ping and a middle-aged man started fighting, both of them Sixth Rank Cultivators, and both using fierce moves right from the start. “Injure them with hidden weapons!” Lin Xuan finished off a charging mercenary with his sword and quickly said. “Understood.” Tang Yu moved swiftly, her needles striking terror in the hearts of men; every strike was sure to wound. Initially, the Blood-colored Mercenary Group was under great pressure, but with the aid of Tang Yu’s hidden weapons, they soon stabilized the battle. Coupled with Lin Xuan’s monstrous attacks, the two sides fought to a stalemate for a while. “Humph, interesting,” the young man with the saber chuckled, pulling out the long saber from his waist. “Pretty lady, the Young Captain will play with you.” The youth believed that Tang Yu posed the greatest threat, so he decided to personally stop her.

The sword light flashed, turning into a streak of white light, charging towards Tang Yu. Tang Yu moved rapidly to barely dodge the attack. However, the young man was a Sixth Rank Cultivator, and the dazzling sword light put immense pressure on her. Lin Xuan did not immediately join in; he continued to fight with the Fifth Rank mercenaries. He was waiting for an opportunity for a one-hit kill. The pressure from the two opposing Sixth Rank Cultivators was too great; one must be eliminated first. Tang Yu executed the Breeze Sword Technique, currently engaged in combat with the young man. Her thin blue longsword was like a gale, each stroke as elusive as an antelope hanging its horns out of reach. With her exquisite swordsmanship, Tang Yu temporarily held her ground. “Hehe, pretty girl, not bad swordplay,” the young man said grinningly, blocking Tang Yu’s strikes. “I’m the Young Captain of the Poison Snake Mercenary Group. Why don’t you join me, and I promise you’ll live the good life!” “Shameless!” Tang Yu was extremely angered, involuntarily increasing her Spiritual Power; her sword in hand shone brightly like woven silk, constantly producing sounds as it tore through the air. “Lin Xuan, you bastard, come help already!” Tang Yu called out, fuming. “Lin Xuan? Is that the Fourth Rank trash?” The young man was taken aback, turning his head to look at Lin Xuan, “Just a piece of trash, I’m much stronger than him!” “Well then, let me take off his head, and you’ll see just how formidable the Young Captain is.” The young man chuckled and lunged towards Lin Xuan, in his eyes, Lin Xuan surely must be Tang Yu’s friend. Only by killing Lin Xuan could he subdue Tang Yu.
