Chapter 65: Accepting Baru

  The word "breakthrough" was like a thunderclap that resounded in Shen Yushu's ears, with a look of astonishment, Shen Yushu's body began to uncontrollably fall backwards.

  Thirteen-year-old Eight-Star Swordsman, this can no longer be described as a genius, but rather a freak!

  Perhaps Shen Yu is regretful at this moment, or perhaps he is resentful, but no matter what his mood is, he cannot avoid his failure.

  "Thud!" The body fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

  Blood gushed out from the corner of his clothes and flowed slowly, but Shen Yushu's eyes remained wide open, as if he was unwilling to give up.

  The sea and sky slowly passed by, at this moment Shen Yushu's eyes had completely lost their luster, his life force had already completely dissipated. He squatted down, sneering as he said: "Even if you were a three-star sword master, what difference would it make? You'd still die in my hands."

  The swordsmen present were completely shocked by Haitian's behavior, if they remembered correctly, Haitian had just broken through to the seven-star swordsman not long ago, but now he has broken through again and easily killed the three-star sword master Shen Yushu.

  Xī Kè's heart suddenly rose with a sense of tragic fate, if Hǎi Tiān could kill Shěn Yǔ Shū, he could also kill him.

  What made him even more uneasy was not Hai Tian's cultivation speed, but the fact that he had released several sword techniques in a row just now with almost no pause in between.

  He mastered two yellow-level beginner sword techniques, and he was very clear that these two sword techniques could not be used continuously together, there must be a pause in between, but Hai Tian did not have any.

  This is precisely because the benefits brought by the sword spirit are lost. Without the sword spirit, the circulation of the sword spirit's power no longer needs to go through the sword spirit and can be circulated freely throughout the body at will, almost without consuming any time.

  This is the real reason why Hai Tian can break through Shen Yu's protective shield, of course, Hai Tian won't say it himself, and this is also his biggest secret.

  After swallowing another Lingyun Dan, Hai Tian's spirit improved slightly as he felt the abundant sword energy inside his body. He walked towards the remaining Gao Xiong mercenaries: "Shen Yushu is dead, and I won't kill you all again. You can all leave."

  These words made the surviving swordsmen extremely delighted, being able to stay alive was in itself a greater reward than any other.

  However, just as Hai Tian turned around, Deputy Captain Balu suddenly appeared with the remaining swordsmen and blocked Hai Tian's path.

  "What do you mean?" Hai Tian's voice turned very cold, he didn't want any more unexpected surprises at this time.

  Suddenly, a loud rustling sound was heard, and the remaining swordsmen of the Gao Yang Mercenary Group all knelt down on one knee. Deputy Captain Balu even said directly: "Our Gao Yang Mercenary Group has been destroyed, we are still alive, but we have all become homeless people, please, sir, take us in and let us follow you."

  "Are you going to follow me?" Haitian was taken aback and blinked his eyes in surprise, he hadn't expected Balu and the others to say something like that.

  Even Sik and others from the Ice and Fire Mercenary Corps nearby came over.

  "Yes, we can no longer survive in Chaoyang Town. I believe that once you leave, Commander Xi Ke will definitely slaughter us. Our lives are now in your hands." Deputy Commander Ba Lu smiled bitterly.

  Haitian slightly furrowed his brow and glanced at Xike and the others who were approaching, scaring Xike into hastily waving his hand and saying: "They're already gone, how could we possibly still be doing this?"

  "Your name is Balu, right? Commander Xike and the others have already guaranteed your safety, so you can rest assured now? Besides, I myself cannot stay in Chaoyang Town all the time, I need to rush around frequently, it's really not suitable for you to follow me with so many people." Haitian persuaded with a worried tone.

  Whether in his past life or this life, he was a person who liked to be alone, and it was a bit unaccustomed for him to lead a large group of people running around.

  "Sir, please accept us." The remaining swordsmen of the numerous Kaohsiung mercenary groups begged once again.

  This is really going to give Hai Tian a headache.

  The captain of the Ice and Fire Mercenary Corps, Xie Ke, came over to persuade him: "Haitian, why don't you take them with you? Although they only have a few people left, they are still a considerable force. If they stay in this town of Chaoyang, I'm worried that they might still have the idea of rebuilding the Gaoxiong Mercenary Corps, and I won't be able to handle it."

  Haitian glanced at Xike, unexpectedly this guy actually cared so much about it, but what he said was also true, if they let these people continue to stay in Chaoyang Town, it's hard to guarantee that none of them would have the idea of rebuilding the Gaoxiong Mercenary Corps.

  "Alright, I'll let you follow me. But first, let me make one thing clear: from now on, all of you must obey my commands unconditionally. If you can't do that, then leave now, or else there's only death!" Haitian's gaze was icy cold, his massive soul exerting a crushing pressure over the remaining swordsmen of the Gao Yang Mercenary Group.

  They all stood aghast, and under Baru's lead, they shouted in unison: "We are willing to listen to the great lord's command!"

  "Alright, Baru, from now on you'll be in charge of managing these people for me. Hurry up and take stock, how many are left?" Haitian didn't want to bother with it anymore, so he handed the group over to Baru to take care of.

  After all, Baru is still their deputy captain, and what he says also counts for something.

  Soon, Baru had counted them out. Originally there were five or six hundred elite mercenaries from Kaohsiung, but now only 103 people were left. Moreover, most of them were injured, and almost none of them were intact.

  But these people are not weak either, the weakest one is also a four-star swordsman, and there is also a one-star swordmaster like Baru.

  After a moment of contemplation, Haitian retrieved over a hundred gold coins from his storage ring and handed them to Balu: "Take this money and distribute it among the brothers, let them buy some medicine to treat their injuries. Gather at the south gate of Liuling City three days later in the morning."

  "Yes!" Baru nodded and immediately distributed the gold coins.

  The reason why Haitian accepted Baru and others was actually another consideration. Xiaoyu was captured by the Shumi Da family, he had to go rescue him, but he alone was somewhat outnumbered.

  With the help of Baru and his gang, I believe the possibility of success will be a bit bigger.

  "Alright, I still have things to attend to, let's meet again in three days." Haitian waved his hand and before Xike and the others could come over to bid farewell, he directly dove into the underground.

  At this moment, his sword spirit was full of energy and he could fully use the Five Elements Escape Technique to hurry along.

  It turned out that Xī Kè and others had originally planned to go up and have a casual chat, but they didn't expect Hǎi Tiān to leave suddenly, which made them walk halfway and feel quite embarrassed.

  "Isn't this Sea Sky being a bit too overbearing?" The Jiu Xing swordsman next to Xi Ke was quite indignant.

  "Never mind, perhaps it's only with his personality that he can have the current strength. This person is not a mediocre talent, sooner or later he will become a shining new star on the Soul Sword Continent." Xike sighed and turned around to leave with his men.

  And Hai Tian was rapidly advancing under the ground, but his direction was not the headquarters of the Xiumi Da family, Liu Ling City, but his own hometown, Heishi City.

  The sky was getting late, and after spending most of the day, Haitian finally rushed back to Blackstone City.

  Before he could reminisce about the past outside the city, Haitian directly entered the city and arrived at the door of Wei He's house. Only then did he emerge from underground and knock on the door: "Dong dong dong!"

  "Who is it?" came the hoarse voice of Wei He from inside the door.

  "It's me!" Haitian said in a low voice.

  Wei He opened the door and was surprised to see Hai Tian. He immediately exclaimed with joy: "Master Uncle, how did you come back so soon? Is the investigation over?"

  "It's hard to say, let me go in and have a glass of water first." At this moment, Hai Tian looked rather tired.

  Wei He immediately cleared the way and let Hai Tian walk in, then closed the door.

  Wei Hai in the room saw Haitian come back and immediately ran over with joy: "Tian Ge, you're back!"

  "Alright, I'm back." Haitian affectionately rubbed Weihai's head, "Go, get a glass of water for Gege."

  Wei Hai obediently went to pour a glass of water and handed it over to Hai Tian. Hai Tian took it without saying a word, immediately gulping it down: "Another cup."

  Wei Hai refilled his cup again, and Hai Tian finished his second cup before saying: "I found my younger brother Xiao Yu."

  "Is that so? That's really great." Wei He heard Hai Tian found his own brother, naturally very happy, but he glanced around and didn't see any sign of Hai Tian's brother, couldn't help but wonder and ask: "Master Uncle, where is your brother?"

  "He's been caught!" Ha Tian's face turned gloomy, his fists clenched, and the atmosphere suddenly chilled.

  Wei He was shocked and immediately stood up and asked: "How could he be caught?"

  "It was the Shimida family who did it. On my way to Chaoyang Town, I encountered an ambush by three great swordsmen. They used a seal, rendering my Five Elements Escape Technique completely useless. Luckily, I had learned the Dance of Emptiness, or else I probably wouldn't have made it here alive." Haitian said with a tone filled with intense anger.

  However, Wei He was muttering to himself with his head down: "The Xiumida family? How is that possible?"

  "What did you say?" Haitian asked strangely, not having heard clearly.

  Wei He hastily waved his hand and said: "Nothing. Master Uncle, what happened next?"

  "Later, I met Xiaoyu in Chaoyang Town, but who would have thought that the other side actually sent a Sword King. If they couldn't kill me, they took Xiaoyu away and even said that if I wanted to save Xiaoyu, I should go to Liu Ling City to find them." Haitian slammed his hand heavily on the table, "Damn the Xiumi Da family! I have no grudges with them, yet they've tried to take my life three times. I must slaughter them!"

  "Master Shu, please calm down first, maybe this is a misunderstanding." Wei He said with a smile on his face.

  " Misunderstanding? Take a look at this!" Haitian felt that Weihuo was being somewhat strange today, but he still directly took out the black token he had picked up earlier from his storage ring and threw it to Weihuo.

  "Kuroiwa Akira! Truly a worthy heir of the Shumida family!" Wai Haku exclaimed in surprise.

  "Hai Tian let out a cold hum: 'Now you understand? If the Shimida family dares to touch Xiao Yu's hair, I will annihilate them all!'"
