Chapter 64: Sorry, I've broken through again

  Listening to the cries of his subordinates, Shen Yushu was almost driven mad. He had not expected Hai Tian to be so fierce, and after taking a blue pill, he continuously performed high-level sword techniques of the Xuan stage.

  "Ten thousand swords return to their roots!" Ha Tian's voice rang out again, and Shen Yushu directly spat up blood.

  Every time the sword energy in Haitian's body is exhausted, he swallows a Lingyun Dan, making his sword energy always full and able to continuously release high-level Xuanjie sword skills without interruption.

  Not to mention Shen Yu Shu, even Sik and others from the Ice Fire Mercenary Corps next to him were completely stunned.

  They thought Haitian would definitely not be able to hold on, but who knew it would become so fierce at this moment? Looking at the rows and rows of swordsmen from the Gao Yang Mercenary Corps falling down, their scalps were a little numb.

  "Team... Team Leader, who is this Sea Sky person? How can he still have such a terrifying sword technique?" The nine-star swordsman was already unable to speak coherently, his tone trembling with fear, his eyes filled with terror.

  Xī Kè was no exception, his eyes were also filled with shock. The ones Hǎi Tiān had killed were all elite members of the Gāo Xióng Mercenary Group, each one having at least three-star swordsman strength.

  How could they not be shocked when half of these hundreds of people fell down in just over ten minutes?

  No wonder Haotian said he wanted to solve it by himself earlier, it seems he really has that kind of strength. A seven-star swordsman, single-handedly challenging the elite of the entire Gao Yang mercenary group, not only didn't lose, but also killed a large number of their masters, I suppose this news will spread throughout Chaoyang Town tomorrow.

  "Squad leader, if it were us, could we hold on?" the Jiu Xing swordsman asked shakily from beside him.

  Hold on? Commander Xike smiled wryly. His Binghuo Mercenary Group and Gao Yang's mercenary group were about the same, with similar strengths. If Gao Yang's mercenary group had been beaten so badly, how could they possibly hold on?

  "Ten thousand swords return to their origin!" Ha Tian's voice rang out again, and the rows of high-ranking mercenary swordsmen continued to fall.

  Whether it's Shen Yu or Xique, they've both been completely speechless. With Hai Tian continuously releasing his power like this, who can still be his opponent?

  "Kill! Kill them all for me, whoever dares to retreat, I'll slaughter him right now!" Shen Yushu had completely gone mad, his eyes blazing red, fixed only on the small figure in the arena.

  Ba Lu saw his brothers fall one by one, and he was already heartbroken. He took advantage of the chaos to run to Shen Yu Shu's side and urgently suggested: "Captain, we can't go on like this. Otherwise, our Gao Yang Mercenary Group will be finished!"

  "Damn it! Only when Haitian dies can I avenge the deaths of so many brothers!" Shen Yushu's eyes were fixed on Haitian, his mind set on killing him, no matter the cost.

  "But Captain, we've already lost more than half of our men, and the remaining brothers are all exhausted to the point of collapse. We can't even defeat Haitian now. The Binghuo Mercenary Group is also watching us from the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike. I think we should retreat first and talk about it later." Baru cried out with a sad face, "Captain, you don't know yet? Deputy Captain Shen is already dead."

  "What? You said my brother is dead?" Shen Yushu's face turned bright red as he suddenly froze upon hearing this.

  "Yes, Captain, Deputy Captain Shen is dead. Hai Tian killed him with one sword. We're probably not far behind either. It's no use taking the lives of our brothers to fill this bottomless pit. The priority now is to retreat first." Baru advised with a bitter tone, but he knew that the Gao Yang Mercenary Corps was completely finished and now only wanted to preserve some sparks.

  However, Shen Yushu seemed to have not heard Balu's words at all, his eyes were empty and expressionless, standing there motionlessly, scaring Balu into loudly shouting: "Captain! Captain! What's wrong with you?"

  "Ah——Haitian, you actually dare to kill my brother, I want your life!" Shen Yushu shouted with a torn heart and lungs, and rushed into the circle like a madman.

  A massive sword energy suddenly came towards him, and Hai Tian hurriedly flew up. Before he could turn his head back, a loud "bang" sound had already come.

  "Haitian! I want you dead!" Shen Yushu gritted his teeth and shouted, but he didn't have many ways to deal with Haitian who was flying in the sky.

  Seeing Shen Yu's book finally made a move, Hai Tian sneered and smiled: "How, you, the team leader, finally willing to come out? I thought you would wait for your teammates to die before coming out."

  "You killed my brother, I want you dead!" Shen Yushu couldn't find any other words at this moment. He and his younger brother had been dependent on each other since childhood, growing up together, and he was especially protective of his brother, but who would have thought that today he would die at the hands of Haitian.

  "Oh? I thought you were here to avenge your brothers who died in the Kaohsiung Mercenary Corps, but it turns out it's just because of your brother. Honestly, I think those swordsmen from the Kaohsiung Mercenary Corps who died at my hands weren't worth it!"

  As soon as Hai Tian spoke these words, the remaining swordsmen looked at each other and saw the sorrow in each other's eyes.

  They worked hard and fought bravely, sacrificing hundreds of brothers without a word of comfort in return. Shen Yushu jumped out only because of his brother.

  The remaining swordsmen of the Kaohsiung Mercenary Corps all felt a chill in their hearts, and it turned out that the lives of so many people were not worth more than one Deputy Commander Shen.

  If it were normal, Shen Yushu would have noticed the change in the team members' atmosphere, but now his eyes only had one Haitian, and he was determined to avenge his brother, how could he care about others?

  "Haitian, if you have the guts, come down and let's have a fair duel on the ground!" Shen Yushu shouted urgently as he saw Haitian still floating in mid-air.

  "If you have the guts, come up and we can have a fair duel in the sky!" Haitian deliberately provoked Shen Yushu, knowing how important it was to remain calm before battle.

  Once you lose your calm and are enraged by your opponent, it's as good as losing your life.

  "You!" Shen Yushu was clearly furious, stomping her feet repeatedly on the ground.

  Suddenly, Shen Yushu felt that his hands and feet were bound by someone. Turning his head, he was shocked to find that the one who made him unable to move was actually a member of his own team.

  "What are you doing? Let me go quickly!" Shen Yushu shouted in a state of panic.

  Ba Lu walked out, coldly laughing and saying: "Shen Yu Shu, you're really something. You always speak so eloquently, treating us as brothers, but it turns out you treat us like this. We've gone through life and death for you, establishing such a large foundation, yet we're not even as good as your one-star swordsman brother. It's truly disheartening for us brothers."

  "Let me go, let me go! Otherwise, you'll be the ones who'll suffer!" Shen Yushu tried to struggle, but his body was pinned down by over a dozen people and he couldn't move at all.

  "Let go? Why should we let go? Are you going to risk the lives of your brothers again?" Deputy Captain Balu looked up at Haitian in mid-air and said, "Young Master, we are all acting on Shen Yu's orders. We have decided not to follow him anymore. I hope you can show mercy and spare us."

  "This is betrayal!" Shen Yushu was furious, but he had no way out.

  The sea and sky slowly descended from the air, after all, the Dance of Emptiness was too consuming for Jian Ling's power, he couldn't keep flying in the air forever.

  Walking up to Shen Yushu, who was completely unable to move, Hai Tian sneered and said: "Do you see? This is the people's heart. Now that the trend of the times has shifted, can you still be my opponent?"

  "Hmph! If it weren't for their help, could you have killed me?" Shen Yushu shouted in discontent. After all, he was a three-star swordmaster and would never think that he would lose to a mere seven-star swordsman.

  "Alright, you said it yourself." Haitian smiled at the swordsmen binding Shen Yushu and said, "Trouble you to release him, I want a fair one-on-one fight with him."

  "What? But..." The remaining swordsmen were all stunned, they didn't expect Haitian to give up such a good opportunity, even Shen Yushu himself didn't think of it, his eyes were slightly dull.

  "Don't worry, no matter who wins or loses between him and me, I won't make things difficult for you. Even now, you can leave safely, after all, you're just following orders. "Haitian said with a warm smile, like a spring breeze, making the remaining swordsmen of the High雄 Mercenary Corps feel an unusual warmth."

  The crowd looked at each other and also released their restraints on Shen Yushu.

  Shen Yu's book suddenly came to life and jumped far away. If he was betrayed by the people around him again, he probably wouldn't have such good luck next time. At the same time, he loudly taunted: "Haitian, you're really an idiot, actually letting me go. This time I will definitely take your life."

  "Is that so? As long as you have this skill." Hai Tian was nonchalant.

  It was Xī Kè and the others who were anxious, that nine-star swordsman even shouted: "How can this Hai Tian give up such a good opportunity? We should take advantage of now to kill Shen Yu Shu and it will be fine."

  Xī Kè gazed at the figure of Hǎi Tiān in the arena, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "Perhaps he really does have the confidence to kill Shěn Yuè Shū." He himself didn't quite believe these words.

  Haitian in the arena focused his gaze on Shen Yushu who was covered in dust: "Are you ready? I'm starting!"

  "Hmph, I'd like to see what you're capable of, kid. What makes you think you can kill me?" As for one-on-one combat skills, Shen Yushu believed he was absolutely superior to Haitian.

  "Nine Thunderous Slaps!" Sea Sky quickly closed in, and at the same time, his right palm shot forward, emitting a dazzling red light pillar.

  "Haha! With just this move, you can't even break through my defense shield!" A bright cyan defense shield appeared in front of Shen Yushu, and no matter how the red light pillar shot by Haitian attacked, it couldn't budge an inch.

  "Is that so?" Haotian smiled slightly, swallowed a Lingyun Dan, and suddenly turned pale. He shouted loudly: "You Long Bu! Nine Thunder Palms! Huo Yun Jian! Wan Jian Gui Zong!"

  Four sword techniques were released one after another, and the surging sword spirit power rushed towards Shen Yushu. The red light column, the fiery sword energy, and countless small white swords smashed through the protective shield in front of Shen Yushu's body like a raging storm, and heavily struck his body.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Countless blood columns, like a fountain, wildly gushed out.

  Shen Yu stared at his body in shock, gazing at the countless blood holes on it. He never thought he would lose so quickly and so miserably.

  "Why... why is it like this?" Shen Yu stared blankly at Hai Tian, earlier Hai Tian was unable to break through his defense, but the protective shield at this moment seemed as fragile as tofu.

  He can't figure it out! He really can't figure it out!

  His eyes had already begun to lose focus, Shen Yu Shu knew he wouldn't live much longer and hoped Hai Tian could give him an answer.

  Haitian held the Huoyun Sword upside down, looked up at the blue sky and said: "Sorry, I've broken through again."
