401: Chapter 401 Defeat of a Five-Star Dou Huang, Annihilation of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group

That slash from just now was deeply etched into everyone's hearts.

The power of that strike not only tore through the air, but even space itself could barely withstand the power of its blade qi.

This scene also fell into the eyes of the Vice Commander. Just what was this youth's cultivation level? An eight-star Dou Wang was actually killed in a single strike.

Hun Tiandi's heart was filled with disbelief. What was going on?

Only the soul body of the eight-star Dou Wang remained, fleeing upward with a look of panic.

Buzz!

The ten thousand soul banner flashed with light, drawing the soul body into its depths.

"Sir, who exactly are you? I am not aware of how our Mo Tie Mercenary Group has offended you," the Vice Commander said in a heavy voice, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture.

He had no choice but to back down! In just fifteen minutes of fighting, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group had suffered many casualties.

If this continued any longer, they would face the danger of being completely wiped out.

Hun Tiandi remained silent. Qing Yue, her entire body stained with blood, said coldly, "Mo Tie Mercenary Group, do you remember capturing a little girl years ago, who was treated as a slave and sold to the Heiyin Auction House?"

"That little girl has returned. She has come for revenge! Tonight, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group must be destroyed!"

Qing Yue's eyes were bloodshot and filled with killing intent.

"You... you're that little girl from back then..."

"I am willing to offer all the wealth of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group in exchange for the survival of my mercenaries. Would that be acceptable?" the Vice Commander asked anxiously.

If the Mo Tie Mercenary Group were truly destroyed, the Xiao Family would not let him off.

Hearing this, Qing Yue's expression faltered. Her Young Master's dynasty needed experts; if she could recruit them, it would help him. But what about her own revenge?

Caught in a conflict, she took a deep breath. Just as she was about to make a decision—

Hun Tiandi spoke up: "Tonight, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group shall cease to exist. Kill!" How could he not see Qing Yue's dilemma? Although his grand ambitions required experts, one must never abandon a debt of revenge that needs to be paid!

Receiving the order, Mister Corpse Soul and Liu Ling began to display their divine abilities, slaughtering the mercenaries.

"Qing Yue, tonight is your night of vengeance. No one shall stand in your way!"

Qing Yue suddenly looked up at Hun Tiandi, her grip on her sword tightening!

Then, the slaughter began!

Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile. With four times the power from the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method, the Dou Qi in his body surged like a torrent. Below the rank of Dou Huang, no one could withstand a single strike from his blade.

If there was one, he would simply strike again. His Dou Technique, the Heavenly Law Blade Technique, was transforming amidst the slaughter, becoming increasingly proficient.

As they fought a bloody battle, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's headquarters soon became a river of blood.

"You three, hold them back! I will deal with this young master personally. As long as we capture him, we can turn this crisis into safety!"

The Vice Commander said coldly.

"Yes, Vice Commander!" Immediately, the elite forces charged toward Mister Corpse Soul, Liu Ling, and Qing Yue.

Buzz!

The Vice Commander was a burly man wielding two massive iron hammers, each weighing over a hundred pounds. He charged at Hun Tiandi like an out-of-control carriage.

Veins bulged on his body, his strength immense. He raised the heavy hammer in his right hand with a force that seemed to break the air.

It possessed the power to crush mountains and split seas.

"Well met! Purple Dragon King Qi!" Hun Tiandi said excitedly. With a thought, the purple King Qi circulated through his body, and blood-colored Dou Qi condensed on his left arm.

With one hand reaching for the sky, he blocked the Vice Commander's tyrannical strike with a single palm.

Crack!

The majestic force pressed down, and his toes sank. A deep footprint appeared on the ground, with cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.

"Damn it, this youth is a monster! The Vice Commander has tempered his body to be as hard as iron, and his strength is at the level of a five-star Dou Huang. A single hammer strike has the power to crush a mountain!"

"But he was caught by this youth with one hand. He's not human; he's a demon!"

This situation caused the mercenaries, whose morale had initially been boosted, to instantly collapse. This was a massacre.

The mercenaries began to flee, but unfortunately, the headquarters was sealed by the ten thousand soul banner; there was no possibility of escape.

"How is this possible?" The Vice Commander was dumbfounded, as if he were looking at a demon. Hun Tiandi revealed a wicked smile, a flash of ferocity in his eyes.

Soul Yellow Sword, Soul Severing!

Operating the Soul Weapon Art, the soul sword within his sea of consciousness surged out, invading the Vice Commander's mind and shredding his soul. His life force began to weaken.

Boom!

The burly body's knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground. The twin hammers fell, letting out a booming sound.

This Vice Commander of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, with the strength of a five-star Dou Huang, had fallen at the hands of Hun Tiandi, a mere five-star Dou Wang. It was truly a humiliating end.

"End this quickly!" Hun Tiandi said coldly. Liu Ling and Mister Corpse Soul exchanged a glance and began suppressing the elite mercenary forces.

Half an hour later, the Mo Tie Mercenary Group was completely wiped out.

Clack!

A gray-robed figure walked out from the backyard. Arriving at the blood-soaked hall, he revealed a slight smile.

"There's someone else?" Just as Qing Yue was about to strike, Hun Tiandi's voice came from behind her.

"Stop!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently. The gray-robed man took out a storage ring and said calmly, "All the wealth of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group is inside this storage ring!"

Then he walked toward the exit. With a wave of his sleeve, Hun Tiandi opened a portal, and the gray-robed man departed.

"Young Master, who is he..." Qing Yue asked, puzzled.

"Tonight's information regarding the Mo Tie Mercenary Group was given by this person," Hun Tiandi said plainly.

Qing Yue, Mister Corpse Soul, and Liu Ling nodded, then looked at the corpses of the mercenaries.

"You all go out first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Yes, Young Master!" The three of them left the ten thousand soul space. Hun Tiandi flicked his finger, and from within the banner, the hideous-looking Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor Soul—with wings on its back and nine tails—reappeared.

"This is your nourishment..." Hun Tiandi smiled wickedly.

Awoo...

Then, the Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor Soul gave a wicked smile and opened its massive mouth to inhale. Flesh and souls were all swallowed into its maw.

With its physical body destroyed and only the demon soul remaining, it required immense soul power for nourishment to return to its peak strength.

Fifteen minutes later, only bleached bones remained in the entire headquarters; not a trace of blood or soul was left.

The Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor Soul returned to the ten thousand soul banner to rest!

Bang!

Hun Tiandi opened his hand, and deep blue flames erupted. Frost spread, burning all the white bones into ashes.

With a movement of his sleeve, a burst of energy sent the ashes scattering with the wind.

The ten thousand soul banner lifted the space seal and vanished into his sleeve. He turned and left the estate.

He returned to the inn to rest.

The next morning, Stone Desert City became active again, returning to its usual prosperity.

However, the news of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's destruction swept through the city like a black windstorm, immediately causing a massive uproar.

"Just who was it? Who had such audacity!"

"The Mo Tie Mercenary Group was a tyrant of Stone Desert City, yet they were wiped out overnight. What terrifying methods!"

"Sigh, when these big figures fight, it's always us who suffer..."

The people of Stone Desert City felt worry, excitement, or indifference...

But none of this had anything to do with Hun Tiandi anymore. Early in the morning, he took Qing Yue and the others, left Stone Desert City, and headed for the Black-Corner Region.

Since her revenge, Qing Yue had become much more cheerful; the knot suppressed in her heart had vanished!

A smile appeared on the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth. He still felt some tenderness for this young girl.

As for Mister Corpse Soul, he now felt a bit more awe toward Hun Tiandi. Yesterday's battle showed heaven-defying combat power, slaying a Dou Huang expert from a lower rank; such talent meant an's future was limitless.

Liu Ling had long been loyal to Hun Tiandi, not just because of the Blood Spirit Seal, but also because of Hun Tiandi's methods and the rewards he bestowed.
