Satisfied, he swung the sleeves of his Taoist robe and thought to himself: "This set of Taoist robes is also a rare treasure. The things left behind by Dusty Old Dao are indeed not simple. Wearing this robe, my physical skills have increased at least threefold. I just don't know if it has any other effects."

  Gu Xie dust walked slowly towards Sai Ren, who was spitting blood from the seven orifices, and shouted viciously: "Sai Ren, aren't you going to capture me alive for Gu Jue dust? I'm here now, come and catch me!"

  Saijin struggled to his feet, glaring at Gu Xiechen. The shell buried in the ground exploded again, and Ardiya's fireball detonated at close range, causing Saijin's already fragile body to suffer severe internal injuries. As he watched Gu Xiechen approach him, Saijin could only secretly mobilize the energy within his body to prepare for a desperate final blow.

  Gu Xie dust again took a few steps forward, he had already approached Sai Jin's body to less than three meters away, this had invaded the smallest self-defense space of a warrior. Sai Jin's hand moved, and his eyes had a hint of silver light flashing. A faint silver light like a waterfall emerged from Sai Jin's brow, and a cold and solemn girl with a pair of silver wings on her back and a radiant silver glow all over her body slowly stepped out of the silver light. The girl was entirely silver and white, just like a statue carved out of pure silver, powerful energy aura constantly spreading outward from her body.

  On the side, Aridyah, who had fallen to the ground, also let out a muffled hum. The red pupils in her eyes rapidly rotated with flames, and in an instant, her eyes turned into two whirlpools filled with lava and flames. After a sudden convulsion, a red light screen shot out from Aridyah's brow, and a sturdy rhinoceros with three curved horns about the length of a meter slowly emerged from the red light. This entirely crimson rhinoceros had every pore spewing flames, its scarlet eyes fixed intently on Gu Xuan, occasionally snorting loudly as two thick arms' worth of flames shot out from its nostrils several meters away. After releasing this rhinoceros, Aridyah seemed to have exhausted all her energy, and she fell softly to the ground, unable to move again.

  "Are you a Boundary Knight as well?" Gu Xie Chen looked at Aridiya in surprise.

  Sai Ren suddenly burst into violent coughing, and while he was coughing, he laughed strangely: "If Aridyah wasn't also a boundary knight, how could I have found it so hard to seduce her?"

  Ardija spat out a mouthful of blood and roared at Saren: "Shut up! Are you still joking around? Haven't you noticed that this guy has gotten much stronger?"

  Saizhen stumbled backward a few steps, and smiled triumphantly: "No matter how strong he becomes, there's still a limit. He's just an ordinary innate fighter, but we're boundary fighters! Even if he uses underhanded tactics to injure us, hah, he shouldn't have given us the time to summon our strongest boundary puppet at this moment."

  The proud girl with twin wings on her back, Satsuki smiled and introduced: "This is my strongest boundary puppet now, its actual combat power is equivalent to that of a high-ranking Saturn fighter, the Silver Winged Angel."

  Aridiya stood up, pointing faintly at the rhinoceros: "This is also my strongest boundary puppet in this stage, Lava Rhinoceros. Its actual combat power is equivalent to a mid-stage Jupiter fighter."

  Koetsuji was stunned, he spread his hands and sighed: "It seems that I shouldn't have shown mercy to Miss Arudia earlier. Who would have thought that she is also a Kaisar?"

  Jupiter's mid-segment warrior? Zachra index is between 10,000 and 99,999. A lava rhinoceros like this can easily destroy a small to medium-sized city.

  Sai Ren smiled with a hint of satisfaction: "Regretting now? However, Mr. Gu Xiechen, don't worry about your personal safety, I will..."

  Gu Xie dust smiled, his mind moved slightly, and Xin Jia, who was standing far away in the dense forest, hummed a low voice. He casually grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and splashed it towards the sky. Suddenly, a burst of yellowish-brown air erupted from the ground, wrapping around Xin Jia's body. In less than one-hundredth of a second, a yellowish-brown air current suddenly erupted from the ground behind Sai Jin, and Xin Jia's massive body emerged behind Sai Jin. A large palm grasped Sai Jin's neck, and Xin Jia roared in a deep voice: "You demon, dare to move again, and I'll strangle you to death!"

  Sai Ren's minions didn't dare to move, nor did the Silver Winged Angel he summoned; Aridiya let out a scream, and the Lava Rhinoceros she summoned let out an angry bellow, raising its three curved horns on its head and charging at Xin Jia crazily. Xin Jia just smiled coldly, and the iron chains wrapped around his waist 'clanged' loudly as they flew out, spinning rapidly, binding the massive rhino into a tight bundle. The rhinoceros's enormous body crashed to the ground but continued to charge forward, and with a light hook of Xin Jia's finger, the iron chain flew up, carrying the fat cow far away and smashing it into an enormous ancient tree.

  A loud crash, the trunk of the giant tree with a diameter of about 5 meters was shattered by the rhinoceros, and the scorching flames on the rhinoceros's body ignited the trunk instantly. Red sparks spread from the broken trunk, and the upper part of the trunk, which was nearly 200 meters high, burst into flames in just a few breaths. A huge torch with a terrifying roar fell from the sky, causing the ground to shake violently, and a large number of sparks splashed everywhere, igniting a large area of forest nearby.

  A faint sound of breaking wind came, and the white-robed warriors of the Dawn Squad had arrived at the scene. However, what they saw was Aridyah spitting blood and falling to the ground, while Sain's neck was pinched in the palm of a giant man who looked unlike a human and wore strange attire. The white-robed warriors cultivated by Sain were instantly stunned, standing still in the distance, not daring to make any sudden moves.

  Sai Ren stood still for a long time, and after a while, he bowed his hands to Gu Xie Chen and said: "You win. According to the rules of mercenaries, it's straightforward, whether to kill, behead or ransom, you say what is."

  Ardija screamed: "Satsuki!"

  "Shut up! This is men's business!"

  Aredia glared at Gu Xiechen, her eyebrows burning with a faint flame. The abandoned lava rhinoceros struggled furiously, the thick iron chain clanking loudly as it strained against its bonds. But the chain forged by Xin Jia using dozens of rare metals and tempered with the Golden Crow Heavenly Fire was not so easily broken. No matter how hard Aredia commanded the rhinoceros to struggle for its life, the chain remained unscathed.

  Sai Ren scolded Aridiya, then he smiled at Gu Xiechen in a low and humble tone: "Mercenaries have their own rules, Mr. Gu Xiechen, you see..."

  "I want you!" Gu Xie Chen said calmly with his hands clasped together: "I want you, Hai Yao Sai Ren. And, Miss Aridiya, the Witch Goddess Aridiya? Hmm, your names are all very 'elegant', I like them, so, I suddenly don't want to kill you! Be my subordinate, and in the future, die for me. As for past matters, let bygones be bygones."

  Aredia looked at Saren, who stared blankly for a moment before bursting out laughing: "You want me to die for you? Ha, what makes you think I'd do that?"

  Gu Xie said faintly: "Just because your life is now in my hands, just because I am also a boundary knight, just because your fleet was destroyed by me! Just because what your Sacred Unicorn has done has been broadcast back to the Earth Federation through the public channel..."

  Sai Ren was stunned, Aridiya was also stunned, and the white-robed warriors of the Shuguang squad on the side were all stunned.

  "You!" Sai Jin glared at Gu Xie Chen with extreme anger and hatred.

  Gu Xie dust spread open his hands and smiled very calmly: "I originally indeed wanted to kill..."

  Thirty-odd spirit tribe soldiers with pale green bodies emerged silently from the dense forest, dozens of thick vines suddenly rolled out from under Xing Jia's feet, and Xing Jia was caught off guard by the vines. His massive body was violently lifted up by the vines. The black thorns on the vines, as thick as fingers, pierced into Xing Jia's skin, and a large amount of paralyzing neurotoxin poured into his body. Xing Jia only felt his body numb in waves, and his vision also blurred in waves.

  Dozens of high-energy particle streams slammed into Xin Jia, the vines melted and burned in the high-temperature plasma cluster, Xin Jia was blown away by the high-temperature and high-pressure gas cluster, carrying a stream of firelight falling far into the depths of the dense forest.

  More high-energy particle streams whizzed towards Gu Xiechen. Gu Xiechen's body flashed, and the particle streams swept past his body in a tight fit. A faint blue light seeped out from the Taoist robe and crane cloak on his body, and the high temperature of the plasma cluster attached to it didn't even scorch a single hair on Gu Xiechen's body.

  Five Lingshan soldiers carried a small-caliber high-energy cannon out of the forest, making "heng heng" sounds. After a brief aim, a beam of high-energy particles about a foot in diameter whizzed towards Guxiaochen.

  Guxia Dust's physical strength was at the stage of exhaustion, and the new force had not yet been born. The high-energy particle stream happened to hit Guxia Dust's most vulnerable spot. A blue light stream rushed towards Guxia Dust's chest, and he could only merge his palms together to protect himself in front of his chest.

  The warriors of Sai Ren, Aredia and Shuguang were all stunned, even Gu Xiechen was staring at his own hands in horror.

  A faintly glowing glove, capable of turning a small mountain into powder with its high-energy particle flow, was firmly grasped by Gu Xiechen's two claws. A blue light ball the size of a human head rotated in Gu Xiechen's palm, and streaks of electric current continuously shot out from the light ball, splashing out sparks between Gu Xiechen's fingers.

  Gu Xie dust only felt a tearing huge power in the palm of his hand, and his physical strength was gradually unable to control the impact of this energy.

  Subconsciously, he grabbed two handfuls of the blue light ball, and in Sai Yin's shocked gaze, Gu Xie Chen actually cut the high-energy particle condensed light ball into seven or eight pieces. Immediately afterwards, Gu Xie Chen shook his hands, and the seven or eight fist-sized blue light balls transformed into a dozen meters long blue light flow, rolling up a thick ionized gas cluster with a diameter of about one meter, emitting an ear-piercing howl as it shot towards Sai Yin and the others.

  "Ah!!!! Monster!!!"

  The Silver Winged Angel grasped both Saren and Aridyah, shook her wings, and transformed into a streak of light that disappeared into the dense forest.

  "All that could be heard was Sai Ren's shrill cry echoing from afar: 'Gu Xie Chen, I concede! The deal Gu Jue Chen made, I won't take it on! From now on, you and I will not interfere with each other, don't provoke me, and I won't provoke you either!'"

  A blue glow shot towards the stunned white-robed warriors and spirit tribe soldiers, waves of flames flashed by, large tracts of dense forest turned to ashes, the white-robed warriors retreated with blood spitting from their mouths, those spirit tribe warriors were almost completely annihilated. Only that small-caliber high-energy cannon had an energy shield protecting it, and was not damaged by the high-energy particle flow whose power had been weakened by more than half.

  With a cheerful expression, he lifted up the three-meter-long muzzle of the high-powered cannon. Gu Xie dust flew towards this side, and Xin Jia Le said: "Xin Jia, your fire cannon can also be upgraded."

  Heavily armored, he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Excellency, I am incompetent. Let that demon escape from my grasp, I..."

  "That's enough!" Gu Xie dusted his hands and said, "I didn't expect those Ling tribe soldiers to have such abilities either. Hmm, Sai Jin, don't think that one sentence can erase the past."

  "He who does not infringe upon me, I will not infringe upon him; he who infringes upon me, I will repay him a hundredfold!"

  Gu Xie coldly smiled and said: "I've taken a liking to you and Aridyia, I'm short of people to deal with Gu Juechen anyway!"

  He pulled out a large piece of Reishi that replenished his energy, and Gu Xiechen chewed on the sweet and slightly bitter Reishi with his eyes narrowed in calculation.
