[69 Book Bar - www.] "His grandma's——! Sure enough, it's this guy! Why do I think this guy looks familiar? That sword god Mantes who fought with that bastard Yang Zhengfeng on the bridge at that time, after all these years
It's been a long time, but I've made a lot of progress! It's a pity that with your current level of strength, you couldn't even beat Yang Zhengfeng ten years ago, so why talk about revenge? I think you should take care of your own life.
!”
He glanced hatefully at the middle-aged man standing in front with an arrogant look on his face. Leng Ao had some connection with this man. Although there was no hatred or friendship, he had been killed five years before in his previous life.
Some time ago, when he received a mission from the Red Flame Chamber of Commerce, he happened to encounter this man and Yang Zhengfeng, who was only a great mage at the time, fighting on a bridge. A super magician and a god-level man.
A warrior's battle, that's
The fight was quite exciting! However, because Leng Ao was in a hurry, when faced with two people in the middle of a fierce battle blocking the way, he rushed over without thinking, just in time to use his terrifying combat skills.
Mantes' move to retreat from his former glory
After several interruptions, he later found out what the outcome was, because his interference caused Mantes to be killed by Yang Zhengfeng's terrifying magic. However, for some unknown reason, he is now standing intact.
Here it is.
Of course Leng Ao didn't dare to say these words blatantly, at least now is not the time, because he still wants to keep a low profile for a while and is not in a hurry to show his identity and strength. Since the current situation in Chigu Continent is so tense and interesting, he doesn't want to
How can you give up after watching a good show!
Just when he was thinking about something, Mantes in front of him continued to speak: "Since none of the hundreds of you have chosen to withdraw voluntarily, then I will treat it as if you all want to
Let’s compete for this task we hired! Very good, although I don’t need so many people, but it feels good to see so many people who are not afraid of death standing in front of me! At least in this area
There are not all cowards on this land! General Hal, bring me my broken sword—!"
With the last words, Mantes naturally turned his head and spoke to the general beside him. As a sword god, it was strange that he did not have his sword on him now, but when
When General Hal took out his sword, everyone including Leng Ao couldn't help but widen their eyes. Only then did they understand how powerful the so-called residual sword was.
Cripple——!
"Let me choke you——! There are so many wonders in the world! Can such a thing be called a sword? This sword is useless at cutting down trees, right?"
Leng Ao finally couldn't help shouting this sentence softly, but it didn't attract the attention of many people, because there were more than one or two people who couldn't help but utter similar exclamations like him.
It turned out that when General Hal took out the so-called broken sword from Mantes' mouth, the sword that appeared in front of everyone was not only broken from the tip of the sword, but only the original intact part of the entire sword should be left.
It is about two-thirds the length of a sword, and there are a lot of dents on the sword god.
There are many marks and chips, and a large piece of the sword's hilt is also missing. It must be very uncomfortable to hold. And the most unbearable thing to see is that the color of the long sword is already rusty and khaki, and there is nothing there.
A sharp sword should have a shiny color! Calling this sword a broken sword is indeed the most appropriate!
But when Mantes held the sword in his hand, the expression on his face became extremely focused and calm. He gently stroked the sword that had accompanied him all his life, and his eyes were full of look.
Looking at Leng Ao's eyes with his lover-like obsession, he naturally felt a bit chilly subconsciously. He never liked using any weapons, and it was hard for him to imagine this alien emotion between his master and his own weapons.
"I know that most of you will laugh at the broken sword in my hand in your heart! Indeed, from the outside, the broken sword is really unappealing to anyone. However, a real sword-wielder
A master will only have one sword in his life, and he can only use one sword! When will the sword be destroyed?
, it means that my mission has been completed, and it’s time to retire. I, Mantes, have been using swords all my life, and I can only use swords! Fifteen years ago, Yang Zhengfeng’s magic broke my sword. From that moment on
From now on, my sword will be renamed Canjian! One day, I will use this sword to take back the shame from Yang Zhengfeng!"
After another pause like before, Mantes slowly turned to the hundreds of mercenaries in front of him who were unwilling to give up on this mission with the long sword in his hand, and slowly said: "First of all, let's
I admire your courage and awareness, and then please allow me to doubt your strength and ability! The rewards of this mission are indeed extremely generous, and there is even a chance to enter the Imperial Royal Legion! But the prerequisite is that you have a big enough
The ability that allows you and others to live!"
As Mantes spoke one sentence after another, everyone could feel that the aura emanating from him had gradually increased. Before, he was still in a state of concealment, but now, he has slowed down.
He slowly released the energy and aura that he should have as a sword god level warrior! The reason why he didn't burst out completely in one breath was because he was afraid that his too strong aura would frighten the people in front of him.
, when the time comes that you won’t be able to recruit a single expert, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Listen up, all of you. I'm not here to choose cowards, let alone the weak! If you want to follow us on the road, you stand in front of me and straighten your back firmly. I won't
I will kill you, but if I want to select truly effective characters, I need to make you suffer a little. I’m sorry, everyone! Be careful——!”
A ball of light burst out from his eyes. It took him a while, but he was still standing there just a moment ago, holding the broken sword in his hand and making no movement. He suddenly waved a shot at the hundreds of mercenaries in front of him.
Sword! The terrifying sword energy slashed horizontally at the hundreds of mercenaries in front of them. Almost in the blink of an eye, it had landed in front of them. The dozens of mercenaries who bore the brunt were immediately chopped away uncontrollably.
Mantes, who had controlled his sword energy and had no intention to kill, just wanted to test everyone, so most of the energy of the sword energy was not sharp and destructive, but smooth and oppressive.
Although it seemed that hundreds of people were knocked out uncontrollably, it was like being hit in the chest with a dull hammer, and no substantial damage was done.
"boom--"
Although there is no life threat, the sword wielded by a terrifying master with the strength of the Sword God wants to stand unharmed unless it is a master of the same level or stronger than him. In order to prevent others from seeing the flaw, Leng Ao also
I had no choice but to pull the Gemini sisters beside me and follow the crowd
He flew backwards and fell to the ground. At the same time, Mantes' cold voice came to his ears: "Those who want to follow us need to be able to escape from my sword within half a minute.
Stand up, if no one can do it, I would rather not recruit anyone! The timer starts——!"
One sentence explains the criteria for recruiting mercenaries very concisely and clearly. Although the power of the sword god's sword does not kill people, the residual power of the sword can still be maintained for half a minute. It can be resisted within this half minute.
The remaining power of the sword energy pressed down on those who stood up from the ground, at least they were saints.
He is a top master. This is also the best way for Mantes to test everyone's strength. However, this move is a bit sudden, almost making Leng Ao unable to react. If he and the Gemini sisters behind him had stopped in that move just now,
Their stature reveals their strength!
"Hey, is it interesting? This guy really dares to think! It seems that I need to continue to stay by his side to observe his abilities! Tianshuang, Wushuang, wait for half a minute
After almost half of it has passed, we slowly get up again, being careful not to let anyone see the flaws, and trying to look as painful and reluctant as possible!"
After whispering instructions to the two women beside him, Leng Ao followed the example of the people beside him and desperately supported himself on the ground with both hands, trying to look like he was standing up. At a height of almost one meter,
There was a lingering power from the previous sword energy that whizzed past, blocking all those who wanted to get up. However, after all, it was just the residual power that could not stop the real masters. Some powerful people, led by Crazy Sword Bingzhong, had already broken through to the holy level.
After more than ten seconds, the mercenaries were already
They stood up from the ground one after another. At almost the last moment, Leng Ao and the Gemini sisters also stood firm with great difficulty, while Deba, the thief mouse lying at their feet, had just relaxed.
He thought he could escape from the clutches of that terrifying guy, but before he could breathe out, he was stunned to find that he had stood firm without knowing when. Leng Ao's hand beside him was still
Put it on his shoulders...
"Very good - there are twenty-three people in total! It's more than I thought! You all come with me. The princess is almost rested, and it's time to hit the road! The rest of the brothers, I'm here
I apologize here. To reward your courage, you can each receive five gold coins from the Red Flame Chamber of Commerce as compensation, and this debt will be calculated on our Tianwu Empire!"
After watching half a minute pass, Mantes nodded to the twenty-three people who stood up straight in front of him. After finishing his sentence, he turned and walked towards the other side, while the two people including Leng Ao and others
The thirteen mercenaries all followed him silently. As for the hundred or so mercenaries who did not stand up on the ground, they were naturally satisfied when they could get five gold coins for nothing!
