The Sword of Power
Chapter 22 - Exploding Strength Enhancement



After walking for about six hours, the illumination within the forest became even brighter. It might have been because of the Inner Core last night, but they were not attacked by the venomous snakes within the Snake Forest. However, even though it was like that, Yang Ye was not careless because he knew that prudence was paramount, and it was best not to be careless in the Grand Myriad Mountains.


When they came out of the Snake Forest, Man'zi and the others immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The terrifying scene from last night had caused them to feel a deep fear towards the Snake Forest, and they could finally sigh in relief when they came out now.


Swish!


Right at this moment, the sound of torn air resounded. Just when this voice had just appeared, Yang Ye who was originally at Qing Hong's side frowned, and at the same time, Yang Ye who was originally at Qing Hong's side frowned, his figure vanished on the spot and appeared before Man'zi before he smashed his fist.


Bang out!


An ink-black iron arrow shattered into pieces.


As they stared at the iron arrow that had been smashed into pieces, their four expressions had greatly changed. Especially Man'zi, at the same time he was furious in his heart, he felt a deep fear because if not for Yang Ye, then he would be severely injured even if he was able to survive.


Man'zi and the others' reactions were not slow at all, and they quickly retracted their weapons before gazing warily towards the surroundings. On the other hand, Yang Ye's expression was gloomy. Even though he heard from Man'zi and the others last night that mercenaries often robbed and killed others, he had once hoped that it would happen to him so soon.


Clap it! Clap it!


Along with the sound of applause, a middle-aged and bald man leaped from a huge tree more than 30m away. There were three men and one woman on his side. The woman held a large green bow in her hand, and she was the only archer. Clearly, the black iron arrow from before had been fired by this woman.


Of course, the most shocking member among the five of them was the man to the right of the woman. The man was none other than Xiu Yuan who had left his friends yesterday.


The expressions of Man'zi and the others became extremely heavy when they saw these people appear. Clearly, they recognized this group of mercenaries.


As he saw the five of them walking over, Qing Hong walked over to Yang Ye's side and said in a low voice, "They are the Wolfhead Mercenary Group, he said, and they often attacked and looted the weak mercenary groups in the Grand Myriad Mountains. Their leader was called Baldy Qiang, and he was a ninth rank Mortal Realm expert who was said to be halfway to the First Heaven Realm. The slightly fat man beside him was a pair of brothers, and they were called the Big Bear and the Little Bear. The two of them were rank nine Mortal Realm experts as well, and they were slightly stronger than Xiao Hei and I. As for that woman, she was Hong Ye, and she was also a rank nine Mortal Realm expert. After all, his skill in archery is much better than mine. ”


When he saw Xiu Yuan, Qing Hong knew that they had come with bad intentions and would absolutely not let any of them go. So, Qing Hong hurriedly gave Yang Ye information about them because only Yang Ye could fight Baldy Qiang.


Yang Ye frowned when he heard Qing Hong, and he secretly calculated the difference in strength between their groups. After counting for a while, Yang Ye's brows united even more tightly as he realized that they had absolutely no choice to win under ordinary circumstances. The man named Baldy Qiang who led the group was not inferior to him in terms of strength at all, whereas, the strength of the people on Baldy Qiang's side exceeded Man'zi and the others. So, as long as Baldy Qiang kept him busy, then in the situation they fought three against four, it would not be long for Man'zi and the others to be defeated.


If he did not fight, then he was confident in his ability to escape. However, Qing Hong and the others were definitely unable to escape, and if they were unable to escape, then the consequences they faced were obvious. So, right now, Yang Ye was in a bit of a dilemma.


Just when Yang Ye was thinking about how he should deal with this situation, the bald man and the others had arrived 10m away from Yang Ye's group. The bald man sized up Man'zi and the others, and his gaze was fixed on Qing Hong for a while before he looked towards Yang Ye and said, “Good reaction and good strength. Brother, which sect are you from? "


He is not from any sect! Meanwhile, Xiu Yuan stood up and looked at Yang Ye as he said with disdain, "He is someone who cleans the battlefield. Brother Qiang, ignore him and handle them all. The core and skin of the Twin Wing Python was definitely in their hands. "


In fact, he didn't really want to obtain that Core and skin, and he wanted to kill Yang Ye and the others. After he escaped yesterday, he originally intended to return to bury their bodies and loot their holdings. However, when he returned to the battlefield, the Twin Wing Python, Man'zi, and the others had vanished. When he saw the traces of blood on the ground, he knew that the four of them must have been helped by someone.


At that moment, he was really panicking. He knew that if Man'zi and the others came back alive, his reputation would be ruined. In the future, not to mention that he would not be able to eat from this rice bowl anymore, other professions would probably not be able to tolerate it either. Because no profession wants a friend who leaves their friend in battle!


"You ********!" When they heard Xiu Yuan, Man'zi and the others were completely exasperated. Man'zi pointed his sword towards Xiu Yuan and said angrily, "Xiu Yuan, that trashy base that left his friends in battle. You left us and ran away for your life yesterday, yet now you bring others to seek trouble with us. You scum! You are truly embarrassing the mercenary world! "


When they heard Man'zi, the gazes of all the members of the Wolfhead Paying Army Group towards Xiu Yuan became insulting. Although their reputation in the mercenary world was not very good, they had never left their friends, whereas, this fellow before them had left his friends in battle, whereas, this fellow before them had left his, and they also looked down on people like that.


Baldy Qiang stared coldly at Xiu Yuan. He also looked down on such people, and if Xiu Yuan did not have an elder brother in the First Heaven Realm, then Baldy Qiang would swing his palm towards Xiu Yuan. However, when he thought about big brother Xiu Yuan, Baldy Qiang forcefully suppressed the displeasure in his heart. He directly ignored Yang Ye and looked at Man'zi before he said in a deep voice, "What's with all this nonsense? Hand over the Inner Core Twin Wing Python and its skin. Mmm, leave the little girl as well, and the three of you can leave! ”


“Brother Qiang, you can't let them go!” Meanwhile, Xiu Yuan was a little anxious. However, when he noticed Baldy Qiang's cold gaze, he hurriedly closed his mouth, and then he hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "If Big Brother Qiang can handle it, then he will have to, then I'm willing to borrow Brother's.a low-level Profound Ranking technique for Brother Qiang to see through! "


Baldy Qiang was slightly touched when he heard this because even he had never seen a low-level Profound Ranking technique in his entire life! After hesitating for a moment, he looked towards Yang Ye and the others before a wisp of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Because all of you are unwilling to do as I say, then don't blame me for showing no mercy. Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a huge sword appeared in his hand. After which, his figure shone, and his sword slashed at the leading Man'zi.


At this moment, the strength of their mercenary group was revealed. As Baldy Qiang moved, the two men and a woman around him had found their own opponents with an extreme tacit understanding of each other. Especially that woman, she was the first to release an arrow towards Qing Hong who was also an archer.


On the other hand, Man'zi and the others had absolutely no reaction to this sudden change of events. Especially Qing Hong, he would only return to his senses when the iron arrow had arrived before him, and then he dodged to the side. However, he had already lost the initiative, causing him to suffer from back-to-back shots from Hong Ye.


Just when Baldy Qiang attacked Man'zi, Yang Ye who was originally standing still beside Man'zi had moved. A sword encompassed by golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, and then slashed down like a bolt of lightning towards Baldy Qiang.


It was so fast that it shocked everyone around him.


Especially Baldy Qiang who was the target of that lightning strike, he was even horrified. Never had he imagined that the originally inconspicuous Yang Ye would actually possess such strength and speed. Previously, when Yang Ye blasted the arrow into pieces with a single punch, he was indeed a little surprised. However, when he realized Yang Ye's age and found out what Xiu Yuan said, he completely ignored Yang Ye. He felt that it was definitely Hong Ye who had not used his full strength before, and even if Yang Ye did not make a move, that person named Man'zi would be able to avoid him!


However, at this moment, he knew that this was the wrong thought.


Suddenly, Baldy Qiang drew his sword and used it to block in front of him.


Clangs!


The sword in Yang Ye's hand that was shrouded in golden light hit Baldy Qiang's sword, and the sword instantly shattered into pieces, while Yang Ye's sword did not lose momentum and directly pierced through Baldy Qiang's stomach.


“What, incredible strength...” Baldy Qiang was unable to finish speaking before his body was instantly cut in half, and his internal organs as well as blood spurted all over the ground.


Yang Ye paid no heed to Baldy Qiang who had split into two, and he did not slow down at all before arriving before the still stunned Big Bear and Small Bear. Under Xiu Yuan's shocked gaze, his sword carried a strand of golden shadow as it flashed past the Great Bear's neck, and then a head fell to the ground.


Yang Ye's speed did not decrease at all as he arrived before the next Small Bear. After Baldy Qiang and Big Bear died, Small Bear finally recovered from his shock, and he was stunned in his heart as he raised his sword instinctively to block Yang Ye's attack. However, just like what happened to Baldy Qiang before, his sword instantly shattered as his sword and sword collided, and then another head fell to the ground.


In the blink of an eye, Yang Ye had dealt with the three ninth rank Mortal Realm experts, and this time, Yang Ye did not continue to attack. Because only Xiu Yuan was left among his opponents.


When he moved to kill Baldy Qiang, the woman named Hong Ye had put down her bow before turning around and entering the dense forest, and she fled so quickly that it shocked him.


As they looked at the three corpses on the ground, Man'zi and the others were completely dumbfounded on the spot. My god! They were at the peak of the ninth rank of the Mortal Realm. However, they did not even have the strength to fight in front of Yang Ye's sword? Did he hide his strength before this? Is Yang Ye a First Heaven realm expert?


A series of unceasing questions flashed through the minds of Man'zi and the others.
