Mixed Battle V

Boom...

The Ice Fire Heavenly Wolf and Jiang Jiayao were sent flying once more. This time, the Ice Fire Heavenly Wolf was knocked back fifty meters, while Jiang Jiayao flew back sixty. The gap between them was growing smaller and smaller. With one more clash, Jiang Jiayao would surely be able to smash the Ice Fire Heavenly Wolf away.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you can't lose! The Master said, strength makes battle! The Master also said, Soul Power is important!" Han Shigu knew exactly what the scene before him meant. He immediately bestowed strength and Soul Power enhancements upon the Wolf brothers, hoping their next move would finish Jiang Jiayao.

"You can still struggle? Watch me wipe you out! Fourth Soul Skill, Life-Stealing Flying Wheel Slash!" Seeing Han Shigu enhance the Wolf brothers, Zhou Wangchao immediately hurled his massive axe at him.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Indestructible Golden Shield!" The moment Chen Yaojin saw Zhou Wangchao's great axe flying toward them, he activated his Fourth Soul Skill. A huge golden shield appeared before Han Shigu.

"Third Soul Skill, Silver Phoenix Flying Feather Stab." Seeing the situation before them, Bai Feiyu and Bai Feiling immediately flew to either side of Han Shigu and activated their Third Soul Skills at the same time. The wings of their martial souls, the White Lightning Eagle Falcons, changed from white to silver, and their feathers became sharp enough to slice through hair. In an instant, they shot toward Han Shigu.

Chen Yaojin had no time to defend him. Han Shigu could only throw himself backward, narrowly evading the killing blow.

All the razor-sharp silver feathers struck the ground, instantly blasting a massive crater into it. Had Han Shigu failed to dodge, he would have been reduced to pulp.

"The Crystal Goddess grants you strength! The Crystal Goddess says speed above all!" After analyzing the battle, Gao Zifeng immediately bestowed strength enhancements upon Jiang Jiayao and Zhou Wangchao, while giving speed enhancements to the Bai brothers.

"Good timing! Fourth Soul Skill, Electric Light Without Shadow!" Empowered by Gao Zifeng, the Bai brothers immediately activated their Fourth Soul Skill.

The Bai brothers first flew upward for some distance, then locked onto Han Shigu and dove down. Their figures crossed and intertwined, dazzling the eye. No one could tell from which direction their attacks would come, making them nearly impossible to evade. This was a Soul Skill Bai Feiyu and Bai Feiling had practiced for a long time. Though it was not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, it was comparable to one.

"Indestructible Golden Shield!" Unable to make out their swift figures, Chen Yaojin could only place his golden shield in the path they had to take.

"Life-Stealing Flying Wheel Slash!" Zhou Wangchao took advantage of the situation as well.

Boom...

"Ah... my right arm!"

"Ah... my right leg!"

Chen Yaojin blocked Bai Feiyu's attack route, but Bai Feiling was not stopped. In that instant, with the help of his brother Bai Feiyu, Bai Feiling successfully slipped around Chen Yaojin and sliced off Han Shigu's entire right arm. Meanwhile, catching Chen Yaojin off guard, Zhou Wangchao severed his right leg with a flying axe.

Since the melee began, three of the Wolf Mountain Seven Bandits had been slain, two had been crippled, and only two were still desperately struggling. The Boulder Mercenary Group had already seen hope of survival, and their attacks would only grow fiercer.

"Finally, I have a chance! First Soul Skill, Vicious Thunder Stab! Thunder Sound Swordplay, Swift Lightning Wind Thunder!" Taking advantage of Han Shigu and Chen Yaojin's grievous injuries, Hu Haoran immediately rushed out to launch a sneak attack.

Lightning suddenly flared across the Soaring Sword in Hu Haoran's hand, and the blade crackled with electricity. In a flash, Hu Haoran swung the Soaring Sword lightly, sending Han Shigu's head flying. After beheading Han Shigu, he turned and thrust again. Without giving Chen Yaojin any chance to react, he stabbed straight through his chest and pierced his heart.

"Beautifully done! I thought you'd been scared stupid and didn't dare come out! Hahaha..." Jiang Jiayao had also been watching that side of the battlefield. Seeing Hu Haoran's flawless assassination, he could not help but praise him loudly.

When Bai Feiyu, Bai Feiling, and Zhou Wangchao saw that Jiang Jiayao knew Hu Haoran, they immediately relaxed. Then they surrounded the Wolf brothers to prevent them from escaping.

"Since you're already that damn impressive, how can I possibly be worse?" Jiang Jiayao chuckled. "Take this! Fifth Soul Skill, Dragon Leopard Shaking Heaven Blast!"

Seeing this, the Ice Fire Heavenly Wolf knew there was no way out. They gathered all their strength and unleashed their final attack, Ice Fire Shattering Purgatory.

Boom...

The Ice Fire Heavenly Wolf was instantly blasted away. Their Soul Power had already been greatly depleted, and with Jiang Jiayao still receiving Gao Zifeng's strength enhancement, they were no match for him.

"Hahaha... Have another one! Mammoth Trample!" Jiang Jiayao showed no mercy and pressed his advantage. He charged forward at once and smashed Lang Bashan and Lang Bahai into a bloody mess.

With Lang Bashan and Lang Bahai slain by Jiang Jiayao, the Wolf Mountain Seven Bandits were officially wiped out, and the Boulder Mercenary Group's crisis was resolved.

"Thank you both for drawing your blades to help us! I am Shi Zhenhe, the Third Leader of the Boulder Mercenary Group. You helped us so greatly, yet we haven't even had the chance to introduce ourselves." Seeing the Wolf brothers slain by Jiang Jiayao, the heavy weight in Shi Zhenhe's heart finally began to lift.

"I'm Zhou Wangchao, the vanguard of the Boulder Mercenary Group. I'm a little older than you two, so if you don't mind, just call me Brother Zhou." Zhou Wangchao readily took over the conversation.

"My name is Bai Feiyu, and this is my younger brother, Bai Feiling." Bai Feiyu introduced himself with a slight smile and also introduced his brother. Bai Feiling merely nodded gently.

"I am Gao Zifeng." Gao Zifeng smiled faintly as well.

"When we see injustice, we should draw our blades and help! Besides, the ones we faced were scum like the Wolf Mountain Seven Bandits, whom everyone deserves to kill. Third Leader Shi, you are too courteous." Jiang Jiayao responded politely. "I am Jiang Jiayao, a student of Shrek Academy's Assault Department. It is an honor to meet such fine men as you!"

"So you are a student from Shrek Academy. No wonder you are so formidable. Truly, heroes emerge in their youth!" Shi Zhenhe said admiringly. "Then this young brother must also be..."

"My name is Hu Haoran, and I come from the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan," Hu Haoran interrupted. "I met Brother Jiang in the mountains. We shared the same ambitions, so we traveled together."

Shi Zhenhe took a closer look and discovered that Hu Haoran's Soul Power was at level twenty, making him suitable to hunt for his second soul ring. Yet Hu Haoran looked only seven or eight years old, and Shi Zhenhe could not help but marvel at his talent. He also knew that with such exceptional talent, Hu Haoran's clan would surely have sent people to protect him. Even knowing that the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan was currently short on members, he did not dare act rashly.

"Young Brother Hu is even more of a genius!" Shi Zhenhe praised again. "Since the Wolf brothers were killed by Brother Jiang, their heads shall go to you. Han Shigu and Chen Yaojin's heads shall go to Young Brother Hu. Do you have any objections?"

In an instant, Shi Zhenhe had divided the spoils. Not only did he avoid offending two highly talented juniors, but he could also earn their goodwill. Taking a small loss himself was no problem. The other members of the Boulder Mercenary Group nodded as well.

"How can that be?! Brother Jiang may have no objections, but I absolutely cannot accept this. I know that even if I hadn't stepped in, Han Shigu and Chen Yaojin wouldn't have lasted five more exchanges." Hu Haoran knew his own limits.

"Just accept them," Shi Zhenhe urged once more.

"If they're giving them to you, take them. Don't disappoint their goodwill." Jiang Jiayao saw through Shi Zhenhe's intentions at once and persuaded Hu Haoran.

"All right." Hu Haoran nodded and took out four Golden Wound Pills from his Storage Ring. "In return, I'll offer some of my treasured healing medicine. These are Golden Wound Pills. They are effective even for Soul Ancestors, but they have no effect on anyone above that level. So, Third Leader Shi, I will not count your share among these pills."

Shi Zhenhe nodded helplessly, while the other four stared with shining eyes.
