115: Chapter 115 Robber Logic, Wrathfully Slaying the Mercenary Squad
Lin Yuan's current combat power of 80 million was exactly the standard for the early Seventh Tier.
Although his Martial Arts Level was still at the peak of the Fourth Tier, his combat power had already reached the early Seventh Tier. This was the terror of an SSS-rank ability.
From now on, every time Lin Yuan advanced his Martial Arts Level, he would experience an even greater surge in combat power.
Furthermore, simply adding ability points to combat power had doubled its effect.
This meant that 1 ability point could now yield 2 points of combat power.
Although Lin Yuan currently lacked a Grandmaster Domain, he was no longer afraid of martial artists who had just reached the Seventh Tier and had not yet comprehended a domain.
If Lin Yuan had a domain now, he could truly fight against a genuine early-stage Grandmaster.
But don't forget, Lin Yuan also possessed the Heavenly God Descends divine ability. Tripled, his combat power of 240 million meant he could even defeat a peak Grandmaster.
"With this, I have more confidence entering the Military Department. I can go all out on the battlefield and make a big splash!" Lin Yuan rejoiced inwardly.
...The Wang Family Head and his daughter finally calmed down and came over to express their gratitude to Lin Yuan, stating that the Wang Family was willing to go through fire and water for him.
Lin Yuan merely smiled. The Wang Family held little real use for him...
The group started driving back. Midway through the journey in the suburbs, their convoy was stopped by a vehicle from the Mercenary Guild.
Seeing this, the Wang Family Head got out of the car and walked toward that vehicle with the Fifth Elder.
Five mercenaries stepped out of the opposing vehicle. They were uniformly dressed in combat uniforms issued by the Mercenary Guild.
"Wang Family Head, weren't you going to Tiger Leaping Cliff to save your daughter? What? You're not saving her anymore?" a burly mercenary said, his attitude arrogant.
"Hmph! How dare you mention it? If we had waited for you, it would have been too late to save anyone! We already saved her ourselves; there's no need for your trouble," the Wang Family Head said irritably. If they had assembled on time, the situation at Tiger Leaping Cliff wouldn't have been so difficult.
"Hahaha... The Wang Family is indeed a noble clan. Saving people even during a beast tide, that saves us brothers some effort. So, Wang Family Head, settle the hiring fee so we can return and report back," the burly mercenary said with a mocking look in his eyes.
"What? You still dare to ask for a fee? Because you failed to arrive on time, we almost died at Tiger Leaping Cliff. You didn't exert any effort, yet you expect to get paid for nothing? What a pipe dream!"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Elder immediately became enraged. Were these mercenaries insane for money? What was the difference between this and outright robbery?
"Heh heh... Is the Wang Family trying to default on my Mercenary Guild's bill? Since you hired mercenaries and we accepted the mission, you must pay. This is the rule. Wang Family Head, you'd better think clearly: do you want to make an enemy of my Mercenary Guild?"
"What kind of robber logic is this?! What's the difference between this and outright robbery? Don't push people too far!" The Fifth Elder truly could not swallow this insult.
Boom!!
A loud explosion sounded. The Fifth Elder was sent flying directly, smashing into the front of an SUV. The hood caved in severely, as if it had been in a high-speed collision.
The Fifth Elder spat blood, instantly knocked unconscious, his life or death unknown.
The burly mercenary slowly retracted his fist. The aura of a Fifth Tier martial artist on his body did not dissipate but instead pressed down on the Wang Family Head beside him.
"How dare you speak such nonsense! Wang Family Head, do you wish to experience the rules of my Mercenary Guild?"
As the burly mercenary finished his mocking words, the five mercenaries burst into laughter, flexing their fists, clearly ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
At this moment, all the Wang Family members had gotten out of their cars and gathered behind the Wang Family Head.
"Dad, what happened? Why did they hit Fifth Uncle?" Wang Luoxue approached the Wang Family Head, asking angrily.
Her father was usually busy, and this Fifth Uncle often looked after her. In Wang Luoxue's heart, he was no different from her own biological uncle.
The Wang Family Head glanced at his daughter and instantly deflated like a punctured ball. As the head of the family and a father, he could no longer afford to be reckless; protecting his family was more important.
"Captain, I apologize. My subordinate was ignorant. Here is the hiring fee for this time; please accept it." The Wang Family Head took out a black card from his storage ring and handed it to the mercenary who had just attacked.
"Hahahaha... Wang Family Head, you are a smart man. Since you've paid the fee, let's consider this matter settled. Brothers, let's go have a drink!" The five mercenaries swaggered toward their vehicle, and the Wang Family Head let out a soft sigh of relief.
But just then, a cold voice rang out.
"Did I say you could leave?"
"Hmm?"
The five mercenaries immediately stopped and slowly turned around, their fierce gazes sweeping directly toward the source of the voice.
They saw Lin Yuan stepping out of the car with Duan Qing and the other four. The person who had just spoken was Lin Yuan.
These robber-like mercenaries almost made Lin Yuan laugh. In this broad daylight, how could Great Xia harbor such thuggish people, such a thuggish organization?
As expected, trash like Chen Haobei only had a bunch of bandits and thugs under him.
Lin Yuan couldn't deal with Chen Haobei right now, but if these mercenaries dared to challenge him, Lin Yuan would not tolerate them.
"Kid, are you f
g talking too much? You haven't even grown all your hair, yet you're out here acting tough?" The burly mercenary's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Brother Lin, don't be impulsive. They are all Fifth Tier experts. I've already paid them. Let's just let this matter go," the Wang Family Head quickly tried to persuade him.
But Lin Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard the Wang Family Head, walking directly toward the five mercenaries.
"The Mercenary Guild is truly a cancer in Great Xia. Raising scumbags like you, I will eventually root you all out." Lin Yuan's eyes were icy; he had clearly passed a death sentence on these five mercenaries.
"Arrogant! Such a young age, yet you dare to speak so wildly and disrespect the Mercenary Guild. No one can save you today! Die!"
The burly mercenary immediately revealed a ferocious look and threw a punch toward Lin Yuan's face.
But the next second...
A golden light flashed, and a large head shot up into the sky.
The headless corpse of the burly mercenary froze in place, spraying blood like a fountain before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Captain!! Kid, you're courting death! Brothers, destroy him!"
The remaining four mercenaries were stunned. Their captain was just gone? The moment they reacted, they lunged toward Lin Yuan.
They were all Fifth Tier experts. Four attacking one, even if the opponent was also Fifth Tier, he should be forced to die in defeat on the spot.
But what greeted them was only Death.
Lin Yuan didn't waste any words. He casually unleashed three silver crescent-shaped light blades—the ultimate SSS-rank Martial Art, the Space Dimensional Slash.
Swoosh, swoosh!
Sounds of flesh being sliced echoed. The four mercenaries were instantly shredded into several pieces, with scattered limbs and severed arms littering the ground, blood flowing out like small streams.
"Ah!!"
Wang Luoxue shrieked and threw herself into the Wang Family Head's arms. The Wang Family members felt nauseous facing such a gruesome scene.
Lin Yuan sheathed his sword, his face as cold as frost. Under the awestruck gazes of the Wang Family members, he silently walked back to his car.
"Family Head, this... what should we do?" a member of the Wang Family asked.
"Sigh... Brother Lin was too impulsive, but with his strength, he probably isn't afraid of them. Keep this matter strictly confidential. Even if someone investigates, we all say we know nothing. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Clean up the scene. Keep this matter strictly confidential and block the news! Stabilize the Fifth Elder's injuries, and then we withdraw," the Wang Family Head immediately issued orders.
The Wang Family members immediately got busy. Five minutes later, the convoy set off again, the scene having been restored to its original state.
"Chen Haobei, Mercenary Guild, you just wait..." Lin Yuan suppressed the killing intent in his heart and closed his eyes to rest...
