Chapter 69: Shifu's Uncle
The tense atmosphere continued, Hai Tian furrowed his brow, his icy eyes staring at Bo Hu in front of him: "What did you mean by calling me over?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you, it's the Salu family that made the Shumi Da family come to thoroughly deal with you." Bo Hu was very calm and still had a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under his control, making Hai Tian feel extremely annoyed.
"What, the Saru family? How can you listen to them?" Haitian was shocked in his heart. The Xumi Da family is the ruling family of the entire Wushan province, while the Saru family is just one of the two major families in Heishi City.
In terms of strength, status, and connections, there is undoubtedly a huge difference with the Shimada family.
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood me," Bo said with a faint smile. "It's not that we want to listen to them, but rather as a request from an affiliated family. Pari says you've been giving them a headache and have donated the Xuanjie primary sword of their family to let us deal with you. What do you think of this price?"
"So that's how it is." Hai Tian slightly narrowed his eyes, unexpectedly the Saru family was indeed not one to be trifled with. He had let them off last time, but he didn't think Parri would still want to cause him trouble.
If it weren't for mastering the Dance of Emptiness, I'm afraid I would have long been dead.
Haitian's heart was already filled with rage, but the most urgent thing to do now was to leave this place and go to Heishi City to avenge the Sala family.
The Mita family has many masters, not only the Sword King, but also the Sword Emperor. Moreover, in this place, it is impossible to use teleportation techniques, and even if Haitian wants to escape, he will have no chance, let alone with people like Baru around.
Raging fire! A raging fire in the sky!
Haitian's anger grew as he thought about it, clenching his fists and secretly vowing that if he could escape from here, he would completely destroy the entire Saru family this time, absolutely not showing any mercy!
"Haitian, originally I wanted to kill you directly and exchange your head for a Xuanjie beginner sword, it's worth it, right? But now I've changed my mind." Bo said with a sudden smile.
"Change your mind? What do you mean?" Haitian looked at Bo Hu vigilantly, he wouldn't think that Bo Hu would be so kind.
The Xuanjie primary sword is extremely precious, even a powerful family like the Mida family only has a few. Killing an 8-star swordsman to get a Xuanjie primary sword, this deal is really too cost-effective.
Anyone who isn't an idiot wouldn't turn down this offer.
Bo Hu glanced at Haitian's tense face and understood what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't move you. After these few battles, I found that you have great potential. As long as you are willing to follow me, not only can I guarantee your safety, but I can also help you destroy the Sa Lu family. What do you say?"
"Are you trying to recruit me?" Haitian's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect Bo Hu to think of recruiting him.
"Not bad, I see great potential in you, and in the future, you can at least reach my level." Bo Hu smiled and continued to persuade, "Moreover, our Mida family is absolutely number one in Wushan Province. Joining us will not be a loss for you or your brothers, what do you say?"
It has to be said that Bogui's conditions are quite generous, and Hai Tian is also somewhat moved. However, he understands himself, in order to find the Hai family taken away by Jiuxi Temple, it is impossible to stay in the Xiumida family for a long time.
As for Bo Hu saying that Hai Tian will at least reach his height in the future, it's something that makes Hai Tian very disdainful. In his previous life, he was a Sword God, and this life, not to mention fully recovering his past strength, but at least recovering to the level of a Sword Saint is not a problem at all.
What really worried Haitian was still the small rain and Balu, those high-ranking mercenaries who followed him.
If it were just him alone, perhaps there might be a chance to escape, but with so many people, it's absolutely impossible. Hai Tian is not an ungrateful or disloyal person, he would never abandon everyone and run away by himself.
Haitian raised his head and found that Xiaoyu, Balu, and the others had all focused their attention on him. With just one sentence from Haitian, they could change their fate today.
Haitian had been silent for a long time, and Bo was getting impatient: "Haitian, give me an answer."
"I... refuse!" Haitian took a deep breath and solemnly spoke out the answer in his heart.
These words not only stunned Bo, but also everyone present was completely stunned.
"Haitian, haven't you thought it through? With such generous conditions, why are you refusing?" Bo Hu's smile on his face disappeared again, becoming somewhat gloomy.
This is the second time his smile has disappeared today, for Bo Hu, who always wears a smile on his face, it's an extremely unusual big deal, which shows how much he values Hai Tian.
"There's no why!" Haitian raised his head, staring at Bo Hu without showing any weakness.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Bo Hu's face turned gloomy, if he couldn't recruit Hai Tian, then he would have to kill him. He had a conviction that since talent couldn't be used by him, it also couldn't be used by the enemy.
"Death, I'm afraid of it, of course. But rather than living in humiliation, relying on others for survival, I'd rather face death with a bang!" Haitian was once the Sword God, although he didn't have his past strength, the pride in his bones still existed.
Make him surrender to a certain force, this is what he can never do. Glancing at Xiaoyu and Balu beside him, Haitian said to Bo Hu, "You want to kill me, it's okay, but please let go of Xiaoyu and Balu and the others, they are all innocent."
"Sir! We will never leave! If we die, we'll die together!" Before Bogu could respond, Baru and the others shouted in unison, their bodies also radiating a fierce killing intent.
"That's right! Sir, since we've been following you, not a single one of us has put our lives at risk. We can completely ensure your safety and escort you to retreat." Another swordsman also shouted out loud.
"Let's retreat, sir!" The swordsmen of the Koosung Mercenary Corps shouted in unison, their loud cries causing the surrounding guards of the Shumiya family to hesitate for a moment.
They probably don't even realize that at this critical moment, they still want to follow Haitian, isn't this a dead end? Moreover, the gate has been completely blocked, not even a bird can fly out.
"Brother Tian! If you don't leave, I won't either!" Xiaoyu also tightly grasped Haitian's sleeve, revealing a determination to never let go, "At worst, we'll die together. We'd rather die together than be apart."
Hearing the words of his brothers, Hai Tian was deeply moved, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Alright! Since everyone says so, I won't pretend anymore! Even if it's the Shimida family, what can they do? Even if I die, I'll knock out two of their teeth!"
"Right! Even if we die, we'll knock out their two front teeth!" Over a hundred swordsmen shouted in unison, causing the ground to seemingly tremble.
"Fine, fine! Since you all want to die, I won't hold back either!" Bo was so angry that his face turned pale. He hadn't expected Haitian and these swordsmen to be so stubborn and unyielding. Although it was a pity, he had to thoroughly eliminate Haitian and his group once and for all.
"Listen up, Shimida family! Wipe out all these people, don't leave a single one alive!" Bo Hu shouted in a cold voice.
"Yes!" The guards of the Shumiya family shouted in unison, and the sword spirits within each of them burst out instantly, displaying various colors that were particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
"Haitian held the Fire Cloud Sword in his hand and shouted loudly: 'Those who are not afraid of death, follow me and charge! Kill!'"
"Kill!" Baru and the others, with long swords tightly gripped in their hands, closely followed Haitian's back, crazily charging towards the surrounding guards, and the battle quickly broke out.
However, Bo was surprised to find that what he thought would be a quick fight had ended in a stalemate, with both sides suffering casualties.
He suddenly realized that the swordsmen brought by Haitian were all those who had truly experienced the test of death. In the face of death, they could often exert more combat power. Moreover, there was also a desperate struggle to survive, and the battle became even more terrifying.
They were the guards of the Midah family, although they had an advantage in numbers and strength, but they hadn't experienced much combat before, so their abilities couldn't be fully utilized.
"Hmph! These guards are really incompetent, and yet they still got beaten up by the other side." Bogu was furious, never expecting that the Shimida family's guards would be nothing but a hollow shell.
"Big brother, it's getting intense on the sea side, do you want me to go support them?" Bo Shu asked with concern, looking at the figure jumping around exceptionally agile in the arena.
Bo Hu naturally also saw the sea sky, as his most concerned object, the sea sky was currently facing an attack by three swordsmen. However, he used his own sword skills to cleverly escape each time and even gave his opponents some injuries.
"The swordsmanship he's displaying doesn't seem to be low-level, what a pity, such a genius is about to fall." Bo sighed and said, "You go up, remember, speed it up a bit, don't give him any time to react."
"Yes!" Bogu nodded in response.
As the Sword King, dealing with Haitian who can't use teleportation is a piece of cake.
In the midst of a fierce battle, Hai Tian's sword intent had been spreading outwards, when suddenly his brow furrowed tightly, and his sword intent sensed a massive sword aura coming from the left.
With a sudden movement of his heart, Hai Tian immediately jumped up from the sea and sky.
"Whoosh!" The massive sword energy swept across the ground where Haitian had been standing, and even the hard stone tiles were blasted with a huge crack.
"You're indeed a formidable opponent, to have dodged my attack!" Bo Shu walked up and praised him with a sentence, "However, you will still die here today!"
The sea and sky frowned together, his heart sank, and Bo Shu came out of the horse. In that case, he was probably not very hopeful either. If he could use the escape technique now, it would be great.
But just at this moment, a loud and shrill cry was heard: "Stop! All of you stop immediately!"
Everyone felt a suffocating breath, and a huge oppressive feeling rose to the top of their hearts. Haitian's eyes were also filled with astonishment, this huge pressure, he had once felt it on Tanshan's body.
An old man with white hair walked over from the side door, his icy eyes making everyone's heart tremble.
Behind that white-haired old man was another person, but what surprised Haitian was that this person was actually Wei He, who had disappeared just now!
"Master Shibo, are you alright?" The white-haired old man suddenly ran to Haitian's side, with a worried look on his face, causing everyone present to be shocked.
"What do you call me? Shifu Zu?"
