His eyes flashed like lightning as he turned his gaze back to the remaining Blood Blade mercenaries, who had regrouped under the command of the bald giant [ One-Eyed Mad Python ]. His twin swords pointed, his black hair cascading in the wind, his imposing figure and murderous aura overwhelming. He declared, "When you were ruthlessly hunting, trafficking, and slaughtering my Chambord, did you ever imagine such a day would come? Today, I, the King, will let you, these inhuman villains, taste what it's like to be prey!"
"Bah! What does it matter if I kill a few Chambord Shambaughans during the search?" Having lived a life of constant danger, the bald giant, though intimidated by Sun Fei's unparalleled strength, suddenly became ruthless, laughing angrily, "I've killed at least five hundred, if not a thousand, Chambord under my axe. And countless Chambord I've used and sold to the Barracks as the lowest prostitutes. Haha, I'm making this clear today, what can a mere sixth-rank vassal King like you do to me?"
"Good! Good! Good!! Good, good, good, good!!!" Sun Fei had never been so angry before, uttering five "good"s in a row. He laughed in his fury, approaching step by step. "What can I do to you? I won't kill you today, but within a month, I'll make sure you open your dog eyes and see with your own eyes that the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps is removed from the Imperial Saint Petersburg!"
The bald, burly man paused, then burst into laughter. "Expelle the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps from the capital? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard! You pathetic frog in a well, do you even know how many experts the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps has? Do you really think you're invincible? Offer us 30,000 gold coins today, and we'll pretend this never happened. You can still live as King. Otherwise, if even one of us escapes, the news will reach the capital headquarters, and within a month, the Blood Blade will descend and wipe out your entire King of Chambord!"
"Fine, then I'll see how the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps wipes out the King of Chambord!"
Sun Fei, too lazy to say more, switched to [ Barbarian Mode ], activated the [ Leap ] skill, and swept into the Blood Blade mercenaries like a whirlwind. His seventh-level [ Children of Bukathos ] two-piece set was unleashed at full power, showing no mercy. His sword flashed, and heads flew into the air, accompanied by fountains of blood that stained the night. Almost in the blink of an eye, Sun Fei, like a red-hot iron rod piercing tender cheese, irresistibly sliced through the numerous mercenaries blocking his path, closing in on the bald giant.
"Hahaha, King of Chambord, you've fallen for my trap!"
The bald, one-eyed giant suddenly grinned and retreated rapidly. Unbeknownst to him, ten crossbowmen who had been waiting behind him raised their powerful crossbows and instantly pulled the triggers.
Bang bang bang bang!
Accompanied by a series of deathly, grotesque, and creaking sounds, twenty terrifying crossbow bolts, each powerful enough to pierce the trunk of a giant tree that would take two people to encircle, shot out with lightning speed. These ten powerful crossbows were expensive weapons acquired by the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps; they could be considered semi-alchemical products. The crossbows were engraved with simple, low-level wind magic arrays and inlaid with low-level magic stones. Even the bolts had some magical patterns on their shafts, maximizing their speed, lethality, and surprise.
At this moment, Sun Fei was charging forward at breakneck speed. The ten crossbowmen were already prepared and launched an attack instantly. Almost the instant the powerful crossbow bolts went off, twenty powerful bolts had already struck all of Sun Fei's vital parts...
This is the trap that the bald, one-eyed giant set up in the brief pause just now.
That's why he deliberately said so many things to provoke Sun Fei.
Through their brief exchange, the bald, one-eyed giant already knew that he was no match for King of Chambord. The king's strength had exceeded his expectations. If they clashed head-on, all the Blood Blade mercenaries by the lake would be dead. His only trump card was the ten-and-a-half-line alchemical crossbow. With a rough exterior but a cunning and treacherous heart, he secretly set up this Killing Trap while King of Chambord was entangled in his companions' stealthy assassination arrows.
Now, it's time for the trap to capture its prey.
The bald, one-eyed giant's smile bloomed menacingly in the darkness.
He was about to burst into laughter, as if he could already see Sun Fei's body riddled with countless bloody holes by crossbow bolts, dying a gruesome death on the spot. As long as this formidable enemy was eliminated, there was still hope for tonight's events, and the remaining strength could still deal with the Soros Merchant Caravan.
"Careful..."
"Danger..."
Redknapp, the manager of the Soros Merchant Caravan, and the slender, red-clad woman with fair skin spoke up to warn them, but it seemed it was too late.
but--
"A mere trick, what can it do to me?"
As Sun Fei let out a cold laugh, a sudden change occurred. Beams of light burst forth from Sun Fei's body, every vital part of his body radiating brilliant colors of sky blue, crimson, dark green, and light purple. Amidst this sky full of flames, Sun Fei did not retreat but advanced. His twin swords did not even block the attack, and he charged forward to meet the terrifying, bloodthirsty crossbow bolts head-on, seemingly trying to use his own flesh and blood to block the crossbow bolts that could pierce through stone.
Ta-da!
Amidst the astonished expressions of the crowd, a series of soft, faint sounds rang out. The sounds were weak, yet they resounded like the grandest bells in the ears of everyone present. To everyone's disbelief, the twenty crossbow bolts, capable of piercing boulders, struck Sun Fei and fell to the ground as easily as toothpicks hitting steel plates.
At this moment, the flames on Sun Fei's body slowly disappeared.
A strange and mysterious suit of armor appeared out of thin air on his body.
Sun Fei's entire body, including his fingers, palms, wrists, forearms, helmet, chest, back, waist, abdomen, groin, thighs, knees, calves, and feet, was covered with armor of various colors. The armor's streamlined and simple design was extremely rare on the Azeroth Continent. Each piece clung tightly to Sun Fei's body, yet it lacked the bulky and heavy feel of the most extensive heavy knight armor. Instead, it accentuated Sun Fei's imposing and unparalleled stature.
Every part of this armor exudes a dazzling and mysterious beauty. Each piece is tightly connected, releasing faint flames and terrifying magical fluctuations, clearly indicating that they are powerful magical equipment. Combined with the [ Bul-Kathos's Divine Price: Colossus Blade ] and [ Bul-Kathos's Tribal Guardian: Mythical Sword ] in his hands, he resembles an invincible, iron-blooded God of War who has emerged from the battlefield of gods and demons.
No one could tell where this suit of armor came from.
But everyone clearly saw that it was this magical armor that appeared out of thin air that easily blocked that deadly sneak attack. The crossbow bolts, which could pierce through boulders, were knocked away without leaving a single white mark on the armor.
"How is this possible..." The bald, one-eyed giant's pupils contracted, and his whole body went cold.
Clang clang clang clang--!
Before he could react, a sword flashed before his eyes, a burst of cold light followed by a pungent, bloody storm. The ten skilled crossbowmen of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps were cut into twenty pieces by Sun Fei's One Sword as he brushed past them, without even getting a second chance to pull the trigger. All ten of them died.
The next instant, Sun Fei's sword blade grazed the bald giant's body.
A chill ran through his limbs, and the bald giant lost the strength to stand. Blood seeped from his wrists and ankles. In extreme shock, he had no time to react and was caught off guard as Sun Fei's four swords severed his tendons in the blink of an eye.
"I told you, I would spare your life and let you live to witness the destruction of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps's headquarters!"
Sun Fei's icy voice came from beside him, like the call of death from the deepest hell. The wounds on his hands and feet chilled him to the bone. For a warrior, severing the tendons in his hands and feet was equivalent to losing all his martial strength, which was even more painful than being killed. The bald giant lay helplessly on the ground, his eyes filled with an indescribable resentment. " King of Chambord, you are so cruel..." As he spoke, he tried to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
but--
Snap!
Sun Fei kicked him, shattering his jawbone, and sneered, "If I want you to live, you won't die!"
Sun Fei leaped into the air and landed on a nearby stone pillar. His eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the surroundings, searching for the kind-looking middle-aged man who had been standing next to the bald giant. Of the four experts in the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps's team, only this one remained, hiding somewhere and posing a potential threat.
At the same time, Sun Fei made a gesture, and the hidden Saint Seiya Saint rushed out of the darkness like tigers, slaughtering the remaining Blood Blade mercenaries.
Only then did everyone realize that King of Chambord hadn't come alone; his warriors had already surrounded the lakeshore. Clearly, from the beginning, King of Chambord had no intention of letting any mercenaries escape. These Chambord warriors, charging out with ferocious momentum and astonishing strength, led by a two-meter-tall scarred giant resembling a mountain of flesh and a handsome, blond archer, carried out an overwhelming massacre. The Blood Blade mercenaries, fighting desperately like cornered beasts, put up a fierce resistance, but it was like eggs hitting a boulder—they didn't even make a ripple. Soon, except for a dozen or so mercenaries who threw down their weapons and knelt to beg for mercy, the other eighty or ninety desperate men were all slaughtered on the lakeshore!
At this moment, Sun Fei finally discovered the leader who had never shown himself.
"Trying to run? Hmph! Too late, get out here now!"
Sun Fei atop a stone pillar, his fists lashing out repeatedly into the air, striking the distant lake surface. The terrifying power of a level 38 Barbarian was unleashed to its fullest extent; his fists shattered the air, sending towering columns of water shooting into the sky. Amidst the spray, a figure darted about like a fish, trying to escape, but was blasted backward by Sun Fei's terrifying fist strikes, forced to land back on the shore.
This man was the seemingly honest-looking middle-aged man who had never shown his face before. He was one of the mid-level leaders of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps, a true smiling tiger, a ruthless killer who had murdered countless people and was one of the ringleaders who had brutally murdered, captured, and trafficked countless citizens of Chambord.
" King of Chambord, spare my life..." As soon as the man landed on the ground, he immediately rolled down to his knees and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
Sun Fei down from the stone pillar and stood in front of him.
Sudden--
"Hahaha, die!"
The middle-aged man suddenly launched an attack, his face contorting into a ferocious and ruthless expression. His fingers spread rapidly, his shoulders twitched slightly, and the muscles in his waist trembled slightly. His elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles Teleport erratically. In an instant, a barrage of hidden weapons rained down on Sun Fei's vital points like a storm of pear blossoms... This man was actually a top-notch hidden weapon master. In just a moment, hundreds and thousands of bizarre and wonderful hidden weapons were launched from every part of his body, mixed with foul-smelling poisonous powder and magical fluctuations.
"Hmph! Such petty tricks are nothing to me, Your Majesty!"
Sun Fei sneered. He was prepared. He stood still, his two swords trembling and constantly changing, creating a dense array of sword marks in the air like a phantom. All the various hidden weapons that rained down like a torrential downpour were blocked a meter away from his body.
This is the terrifying combat power Sun Fei possesses in the real world after upgrading his Barbarian [ Sword Mastery ] skill to level 8. Sun Fei understanding of swordsmanship and the dexterity in controlling the blade have far surpassed the comprehension of the strong on the Azeroth Continent.
The hidden weapon was knocked away, and the good-natured middle-aged man's performance came to an end.
Sun Fei's Sharp Sword mercilessly severed his tendons in his hands and feet. To prevent him from launching unpredictable hidden weapons, he even directly destroyed several nerve centers in his body that controlled muscle vibrations. For Sun Fei, who could switch to [ Assassin Mode ] at any time, accomplishing all of this was a piece of cake.
Thus, all two hundred Blood Blade mercenaries and their four leaders were wiped out, without a single one escaping.
The Soros Merchant Caravan was stunned and mesmerized.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?" Torres walked over, pointed to a dozen or so surrendered Blood Blade mercenaries in the distance, and asked Sun Fei for instructions.
