The Rabid Mercenary Group, the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group, and the Black Fire Mercenary Group had gathered a total of ten thousand mercenaries. They rode on all kinds of mounts and headed towards Wind Cloud City.
Along the way, they moved in a grandiose manner, raising an expanse of dust that filled the sky. A great power swarmed over!
With such a powerful lineup, it was hard not to attract attention.
Before they even arrived, Wind Cloud City was already in an uproar.
"With the Rabid Mercenary Group as the leader, a large number of experts from the three great mercenary groups have gathered and are heading towards Wind Cloud City. There's going to be a good show!"
"It's said that the Rabid Mercenary Group's leader is the real Mystic Thearch. He also has two Half Emperors under him. With the help of the Evil Wolf and Black Fire Mercenary Group's leaders, this lineup can be said to be powerful!"
"I just don't know if Ling Xiao dares to accept the challenge. He also has two experts by his side. I don't think he will run away without fighting!"
"That's hard to say. Ling Xiao doesn't have enough manpower. To face the ten thousand elites of the three great mercenary groups, ordinary fifth-grade sects can only flee at the sight of the wind!"
"We should hurry and leave. If we are affected, this is not a joke."
Within the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Xiao and the others had already received the news.
The newly recruited people were all terrified.
They were too few in number and their strength was not on the same level. How could they fight against them!
When many people heard the news, they actually packed up and left. Only a small number of people gritted their teeth and persevered. Those who stayed behind were valued in the future and became the backbone of Wind Cloud City.
In the main hall, Ye Yunfeng, Cruel Leopard, and Liu Qun couldn't help but want to fight.
"A group of mobs wants to get their hands on Wind Cloud City. They really don't know what's good for them!"
Ye Yunfeng shook the golden spear in his hand and snorted. He then said to Ling Xiao, "Boss, let me fight and kill them all!"
Xuan Yao waved his white paper fan and couldn't help but say, "You are not enough to fill the gaps between their teeth!"
Ye Yunfeng suddenly choked. Although his strength was not bad, compared to the ten thousand people, he was indeed too insignificant.
He was afraid that they could drown him with just a mouthful of saliva!
"Let me go. These people are nothing in my eyes!" Mad Tooth said coldly.
Indeed, if he, a Saint, were to fight, those 10,000 people wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
"I'm also going to fight. Those who dare come looking for death, I'll make sure they never return," said Savage Leopard.
Liu Qun also expressed his opinion, "That's right, let us fight together and raise the prestige of Wind Cloud City, and raise the name of Young Master!"
The other girls also expressed their willingness to fight, vowing to kill the 10,000 people with high morale.
This was the first battle in which they would make a name for themselves. They could not afford to lose this battle. Everyone was rubbing their fists in anticipation.
Ling Xiao coughed lightly, stood up, and said faintly, "In this battle, all of you just hold the line for me!"
"Kid, don't show off!" Han Kai looked at Ling Xiao and said.
He wasn't clear about Ling Xiao's combat strength, so he was afraid that something would happen to Ling Xiao.
"Don't worry, Elder Han. I was able to walk out of the Medicine Sect in one piece, so I'm not afraid of these people. All of you hold the line for me. We must win this battle beautifully!" Ling Xiao said confidently.
Then, he led the crowd and flew out of the City Lord's Mansion. The few cultivators who were still loyal to the City Lord's Mansion also followed, looking as if they were ready to die.
Ling Xiao also noticed the existence of these people. He said to Xuan Yao, who was beside him, "When we get back, get someone to confirm their name list. This young master will let them know how lucky they are to stay!"
Xuan Yao knew Ling Xiao's intentions and nodded lightly, "Young Master, you're right. Only when you're clear about rewards and punishments will you be able to make so many people follow you. I believe that in the future, Wind Cloud City will surpass the Martial Spirit Court!"
"The Martial Spirit Court?
Maybe … "Ling Xiao smiled faintly, but in his heart, he didn't think so.
His goal was not just the Central Region. Perhaps the Heaven Region was his true stage!
Ling Xiao and the others landed on the mostly repaired city wall and looked at the people galloping towards them. They felt indescribably happy.
Yes, they were happy, not afraid.
With two Saints in charge, what else was there to be afraid of?
"There really are ten thousand people!" Ling Xiao sighed softly, his dragon eyes flashing with a strong murderous intent.
"If the Gale Mercenaries hadn't withdrawn, I'm afraid there would be more people!" Xuan Yao replied from the side.
When Xuan Yao received news that someone was going to attack Ling Xiao, he sent someone to gather information.
As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious!
"The Gale Mercenaries?" Ling Xiao was puzzled.
Xuan Yao explained from the side, "The Gale Mercenaries are about the same strength as the three mercenary groups. Their leader should know that they won't be able to pose any threat to us even if they form an alliance, so he chose to withdraw. He even sent someone to inform us of the three mercenary groups' movements. It seems like the Gale Mercenaries want to form a relationship with us!"
After hearing this, Ling Xiao was a little startled, but he made a mental note of the Gale Mercenaries.
At this time, the ten thousand mercenaries were already at the city walls.
These ten thousand people were very different from a regular group. Their formation was uneven, and their formation was especially messy. They looked like a plate of loose sand, nothing to be afraid of!
Yao Kuang, Zhong Bo, and Black Fire all rode their rank 6 mounts forward.
Ye Yunfeng came out and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you attack Wind Cloud City with such great fanfare? Hurry up and retreat!"
Ye Yunfeng's strength was not bad, but the pressure he emitted was insignificant to Yao Kuang and the others.
Yao Kuang was the first to laugh, "Haha, I am Yao Kuang, the leader of the Rabid Mercenaries. Underworld City has always been the backyard of us brothers. When did you guys change the name to Wind Cloud City? Did you guys ask me? If you want to scram, it should be you guys. Otherwise … don't blame my ten thousand brothers for flattening the city!"
Yao Kuang was in a good mood. This was the first time he had led such a large force, and it made him feel a little smug.
He swore that he would definitely take over Wind Cloud City, and he would be the master of this place in the future.
"How dare you, Underworld City has been without a master for the past ten thousand years. My master, Ling Xiao, has uncovered the mystery of death here and taken over all the daily affairs here. You guys actually dare to provoke us? Are you trying to bully us?!"
Savage Leopard was an impatient person, and the moment he heard Yao Kuang's arrogant words, he immediately stood up and roared.
At the same time, his Emperor-ranked aura spread out towards Yao Kuang and the others.
At this time, the expressions of Yao Kuang and the others changed slightly. They could finally confirm that this person was a real Emperor-ranked expert, and not some half-Emperor-ranked expert.
Zhong Bo and Black Fire, who were beside Yao Kuang, looked a little nervous.
If the other person was also a real Emperor-ranked expert, then this battle would not be optimistic. Even if they flattened this place, they would have to pay a heavy price!
Yao Kuang withstood the pressure of Savage Leopard, and at the same time transmitted to the two, "What are you afraid of? With me holding him back, the others are a piece of cake for you guys!"
Then, he rode his spirit beast forward and said, "Cut the crap, hurry up and call Ling Xiao out. Grandpa Yao wants to cut off his dog head and use it as a urinal. If you guys know what's good for you, hurry up and surrender, or else my ten thousand brothers swear to flatten the city."
Yao Kuang's words had undoubtedly ignited the blood of the mercenaries behind him, and they all cried out as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Kill Ling Xiao, and I swear to flatten the city!"
"Kill Ling Xiao, and I swear to flatten the city!"
"Kill Ling Xiao, and I swear to flatten the city!"
A series of voices mixed with the roars of many spirit beasts soared into the sky, causing the city to tremble.
Just as Savage Leopard and Liu Qun couldn't help but attack, Ling Xiao slowly stepped out into the air.
Today, he wore a set of dazzling golden robes, and there were dragon and phoenix patterns on the sides of the robes. He looked so noble and eye-catching, and in addition to his handsome and elegant appearance, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Many people in the distance began to secretly discuss.
"He … Is he the City Lord Ling Xiao?
He looks so young! "
"Looking at his temperament, it shouldn't be fake. I didn't expect him to have a bit of courage. Facing ten thousand lions, he actually didn't retreat. He really deserves the name of the first Emperor!"
"I heard that he is the successor of the Demonic Emperor. If he was a coward, why would the Demonic Emperor take a fancy to him? I hope he doesn't disappoint!"
"He is courageous, but there are too few people. That Yao Kuang is the true Mystic Emperor, and he also has the help of a few Half-emperors. The result of this battle is already very obvious!"
"You want to cut off my head and use it as a urinal?" Ling Xiao looked at Yao Kuang playfully and said, his dragon eyes didn't conceal the dense killing intent.
"You are Ling Xiao?" Yao Kuang looked at Ling Xiao and asked.
"That's right, I am Ling Xiao. All of you come at me together, I don't have time to waste with you!" Ling Xiao crooked his finger at Yao Kuang and said, his expression indescribably arrogant.
Hearing this, Yao Kuang couldn't help but laugh wildly, "Haha … I thought that Ling Xiao had some three heads and six arms. I didn't think that he was just a brat who still smells of his mother's milk. He actually wants us to come at him together, I'm dying of laughter!"
Following Yao Kuang's laughter, the mercenary group behind him also laughed loudly, their expressions were filled with ridicule.
"Damn it, let me fight for the young master and kill these trash!" Savage Leopard couldn't stand the ridicule of Ling Xiao and immediately wanted to fight.
However, he was stopped by Liu Qun, "Savage Leopard, don't be anxious, the young master is enough to deal with everything!"
Liu Qun clearly remembered his young master's terrifying battle strength and that strange world energy.
Now that his young master's strength had increased by another level, it should be effortless for him to kill these people.
"Is it very funny?" Ling Xiao murmured and then shouted, "Is it very funny?"
Is it very funny!
The last roar was mixed with a supreme dragon's might and spread across the wilderness. It was like the roar of a real dragon, shaking everyone to the point of dizziness. Many of the weaker mercenaries were directly shaken to the point where blood flowed out of their seven orifices and they died!
Ling Xiao was also angry at this moment!
