The Azure Sea Bow was purchased by Jiang Chen from a shop for twelve thousand spirit stones to improve his strength; it cost him most of his fortune.
Next, Jiang Chen drew his arrow and shot. The iron arrow instantly struck a Bloodfire Mercenary in the back.
"Ah..." the mercenary screamed.
This situation immediately alerted the other two mercenaries.
"Not good, enemy attack." The two immediately became vigilant. At this moment, two arrows shot towards them.
"Pfft, pfft."
The other two were also hit by arrows, screaming in pain.
Seeing that he had taken down three people, Jiang Chen immediately rushed out, holding a long saber and directly slashing at the three.
These three also saw Jiang Chen and exclaimed, "It's him, it's the target we're looking for."
With a flash of the saber, the three were directly killed by Jiang Chen. Before they were hit by arrows, these three were no match for Jiang Chen, let alone now that they were injured. They were directly slain by Jiang Chen.
The blood energy of these three was instantly devoured by Jiang Chen. Just as Jiang Chen was about to take their belongings, several mercenaries rushed over.
There were other mercenaries around.
"The target is here," a mercenary shouted upon seeing Jiang Chen's figure.
Jiang Chen's expression changed. He abandoned the spoils of war on the enemies and activated the Soaring Wave Steps, quickly leaving the area.
The others wanted to pursue, but when they reached Jiang Chen's original position, he had already vanished without a trace.
A moment later, a mercenary at the second level of the Martial Master Realm arrived.
"Squad Leader, we lost three men, and the target escaped," the mercenary reported.
"Trash, utter trash. We lost three more men, and he still got away," Squad Leader Chen Wei said coldly.
The other mercenaries dared not speak, as Chen Wei was furious.
"Continue the search, but be careful, everyone. The opponent has a bow and can attack from a distance," Chen Wei said.
"Yes, Squad Leader." The other mercenaries then continued to search for Jiang Chen's whereabouts.
Jiang Chen's actions made the Bloodfire Mercenary Group even more enraged. However, for safety's sake, the mercenaries now formed teams of ten instead of three, fearing another attack by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's strength exceeded their expectations.
After killing these three mercenaries, Jiang Chen took a detour and continued heading towards Snake King Valley.
"Roar..." Jiang Chen suddenly heard the roar of a Demonic Beast on the way.
"Something's happening!" Jiang Chen, out of curiosity, crept towards the direction of the Demonic Beast.
At this moment, a team was being targeted by twelve Green Demonic Wolves. Among the team was a girl of sixteen or seventeen, along with six guards.
The captain of the guards was an expert at the second level of the Martial Master Realm, while the other guards were all at the Martial Artist Realm.
However, among the Green Demonic Wolves were two third-tier Green Demonic Wolves, which were two Wolf Kings.
Tang Mu never imagined that they would encounter a pack of Green Demonic Wolves.
Out of the fifteen people, only seven remained. The captain of the guards was also injured, having fought fiercely against the two Green Demonic Wolf Kings just now.
Eight Martial Artist Realm guards had died, and the remaining guards had sustained various injuries.
They were now at a complete disadvantage.
"Miss, we will hold off the Green Demonic Wolves for a while, and you take this opportunity to escape," the captain of the guards said.
"If anything happens to us, please take good care of our families, Miss."
Tang Mu was from the Tang Family of the Yunluo City Lord's Mansion.
This time, she had led a team into the Great Desolate Mountain Range to hunt Demonic Beasts and gain combat experience.
Initially, they were on the outskirts, where it was relatively safer. Later, they encountered a beast horde and were forced to go deeper. Upon arriving here, they encountered the Green Demonic Wolf pack.
It could be said they were extremely unlucky.
"You all be careful," Tang Mu said sadly.
So many guards had died, and her heart was filled with grief. Now, these guards were covering their retreat, just to buy her a sliver of hope for survival.
Under the command of the two Wolf Kings, the Green Demonic Wolves quickly pounced towards Tang Mu and her group.
"Miss, run quickly," the guards shouted, and then charged towards the Green Demonic Wolves.
The captain of the guards also charged towards the two third-tier Green Demonic Wolf Kings.
Soon, the other Martial Artist Realm guards were pounced upon and killed by the Green Demonic Wolves.
Then, they set their sights on the fleeing Tang Mu and quickly charged towards her.
Tang Mu was only at the sixth level of the Martial Artist Realm. Although her cultivation was good, she could still fight one Green Demonic Wolf. However, with several Green Demonic Wolves attacking her, she was no match for them.
"Water Cloud Swordplay." Seeing the Green Demonic Wolves attacking, Tang Mu had no choice but to fight back.
With a few sword moves, she repelled one Green Demonic Wolf, but as other Green Demonic Wolves attacked, she was swatted away by a claw.
After falling to the ground, Tang Mu let out a cry of alarm. The other Green Demonic Wolves quickly pounced, intending to tear Tang Mu to shreds.
Tang Mu's eyes flashed with despair. Just then, several arrows flew over, striking the charging Green Demonic Wolves.
"Roar..." The Green Demonic Wolves, hit by arrows, immediately fell to the ground.
At this moment, a figure rapidly swept in.
"Hegemonic Blade Art." Instantly, several blade lights flashed, and the Green Demonic Wolves that were hit by arrows fell one after another, long wounds appearing on their bodies.
Fifth-tier martial arts were indeed powerful. Although Jiang Chen had only learned the first five forms, the Hegemonic Blade Art was domineering and fierce, its movements tricky, making it impossible to guard against.
Tang Mu only saw a young man around her age, holding a long saber, looking heroic and extraordinary.
"Thank you," Tang Mu said gratefully.
"It's not over yet. There are other Green Demonic Wolves. You should hide to the side first," Jiang Chen said calmly.
Then he charged towards the other Green Demonic Wolves.
Seeing Jiang Chen appear, the other Green Demonic Wolves also roared and charged at him.
"Pfft..." The long saber cut into the bodies of the Green Demonic Wolves, killing several other second-tier Green Demonic Wolves with clean and swift movements.
Tang Mu, standing nearby, was stunned. Jiang Chen's current aura was only at the fifth level of the Martial Artist Realm, a small realm lower than Tang Mu's. How could his combat power be so formidable?
Tang Mu was already struggling to deal with one second-tier Green Demonic Wolf, but in front of Jiang Chen, dealing with these Green Demonic Wolves was as simple as cutting vegetables.
Especially Jiang Chen's blade techniques, which were like divine intervention; these Green Demonic Wolves simply couldn't escape his blade.
Just then, a figure was sent flying. It was the guard captain, Nan Feng.
He was fighting two opponents alone and was no match for them. He could only stall and delay, but how could two third-tier Wolf Kings be ordinary opponents?
Attacked from both sides, Nan Feng was instantly pushed into a desperate situation, and then he was struck and sent flying by one of the Wolf Kings.
Nan Feng landed and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his aura greatly diminished.
The Green Demonic Wolf King seized the opportunity while Nan Feng was heavily injured, intending to finish him off. At this moment, two arrows were shot towards the two Wolf Kings respectively.
The two Wolf Kings reacted quickly and dodged them instantly, retreating a certain distance.
Nan Feng turned his head and saw a young man not far away holding a short bow, aiming at the Green Wolf Kings. It seemed the previous two arrows were shot by this young man.
