After one hit was effective, Zhang Hao's Killing Intent rose.
"Hundred Blade Slash!"
Zhang Hao slashed out eighteen blades.
The eighteen blades, like mountain-like blade energy, swept out. The void flickered with extreme blade light.
The seven Martial Kings felt a terrifying Killing Intent lock onto them, making even their breathing seem to stop. They were suppressed by a terrifying force and couldn't move.
"Die!"
Seventeen blades instantly crushed six Martial Kings. They didn't even have time to hum before being chopped into meat paste. The last Martial King, a fifth-level Martial King, although he retreated quickly, his arm was also severed.
"The eighteenth blade!"
This eighteenth blade was also the most terrifying blade. This was also, so far, the strongest blade Zhang Hao had used with Hundred Blade Slash.
A clear "dragon roar" sounded in the void.
This eighteenth blade possessed the strength of one dragon. The world changed color.
That Martial King didn't even hum before being cleaved into blood mist by this blade. Not even meat scraps remained.
The other four Martial Kings who were surrounding Xiao Jian and Xiao Lin originally held the absolute upper hand. Just when they could kill Xiao Lin and Xiao Jian, they suddenly felt a terrifying Killing Intent. Turning their heads, they found that Zhang Hao had killed eight Martial Kings in one move. This terrifying blade immediately frightened the four Blood Robe People to the core.
"Run!"
The four Martial Kings immediately had the intention to leave and prepared to depart. But at this moment, how could Zhang Hao let them go? He smiled coldly, looked at the four Blood Robe People who were rapidly flying away, took out the Houyi Bow, and strung an arrow.
"Nine Stars Arrow!"
Zhang Hao shot out nine fiery red arrows. Those nine arrows, like nine fire dragons, chased after the four Blood Robe People.
The four Martial Kings laughed when they saw Zhang Hao actually using arrows to shoot them. These arrows were effective against ordinary people. But against them, these Martial Kings, they weren't even considered an itch. Of course, the four Martial Kings didn't know at all that these were not ordinary arrows.
The four Martial Kings easily dodged the nine arrow shadows, and just when they felt smug. Suddenly, they found that the arrows shot at them had curved in the void and were actually shooting towards them again. This immediately frightened them.
Because of this sudden arrow, they had no time to dodge at all. The nine arrows fiercely shot into their bodies. The four Martial Kings were immediately blasted by the arrows and vanished into thin air.
Xiao Jian and Xiao Lin both watched this scene in shock. These four Martial Kings were killed just like that. The other Heavenly Demon Sect lackeys also scattered like birds and beasts. However, Zhang Hao and the others naturally didn't care about these lackeys and let them go.
At this moment, Xiao Lin was completely convinced by Zhang Hao. She naturally wouldn't forget the Divine Might of how Zhang Hao had killed eight Martial Kings in one move just now.
Thinking that she had previously been so reckless as to provoke Zhang Hao. If Zhang Hao hadn't bothered to argue with her, she would have died countless times already. No wonder Zhang Hao said he, Lord Zhang Hao, wouldn't stoop to the level of a petty person.
When Xiao Lin heard this sentence earlier, she thought Zhang Hao was smug. But looking at it now, the other party was already humble enough. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile mockingly.
Liu Sanjin said gratefully to Zhang Hao, "Little brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, this old man's wealth would not only be gone this time, but his life would also be lost."
Zhang Hao waved his hand at Liu Sanjin and said, "You don't need to thank me. You were originally our employer, and protecting you is what we should do. It's just that you shouldn't have hidden things from us earlier, otherwise, we could have made plans earlier."
Liu Sanjin felt a little awkward upon hearing this. He sighed to Zhang Hao, "Little brother, it's not that this old man wanted to hide it, but the matter is very important, and it's best if fewer people know this news. Otherwise, if the news leaks, it will be even more troublesome."
Zhang Hao thought about it and also felt that what Liu Sanjin did was indeed understandable. It was just that he was slightly dissatisfied at being hidden from. However, he was too lazy to bother.
"Little brother, don't worry, to show my gratitude. The reward for this time will be doubled." Liu Sanjin smiled.
Zhang Hao was still satisfied with Liu Sanjin's sensibility. No one would complain about having too many high-grade crystal stones. The original 100 high-grade crystal stones, doubled, is 200 high-grade crystal stones. This is quite considerable. Although he had some opinions about Liu Sanjin. Because of this, Zhang Hao naturally didn't feel it was right to argue about anything anymore.
Of course, it wasn't just Zhang Hao; the Tianhai Mercenary Group's reward was also increased by half. After all, the Tianhai Mercenary Group also lost more than twenty people at this moment. This was considered compensation for the other party's losses.
Zhang Hao still acknowledged the combat strength of the Tianhai Mercenary Group. After all, the enemy this time was the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Tianhai Mercenary Group being able to lose only this many people under the hands of the Heavenly Demon Sect was indeed worthy of being an A-rank Mercenary Group. The Poison Wolf Mercenary Group and Zijing Mercenary Group he had seen before were far inferior to the Tianhai Mercenary Group.
Xiao Jian personally commanded the Tianhai Mercenary Group's mercenaries to bury their companions' bodies on the spot. Then he presided over the ceremony. This is how Mercenary Groups are; they consider anywhere their home. Where they die, they are buried there; this is a rule in the mercenary world.
Because of this, the merchant group and others were also delayed here for half a day. But no one had any objections.
Zhang Hao looked at the somewhat tragic and solemn scene of Xiao Jian presiding over the ceremony. He murmured, "These are mercenaries who consider anywhere their home. Perhaps one day, I will also form a Mercenary Group and live this kind of life, considering anywhere my home..."
Ye Yunshang smiled at Zhang Hao and said, "If that day comes, I will definitely be the first to sign up."
"And me!"
Yun Qiuyu, Ning Xue, and others also followed suit.
Zhang Hao teased with a smile, "In that case, wouldn't my Mercenary Group be full of great beauties? At that time, many people will definitely rush to join our Mercenary Group."
Ye Yunshang glared at Zhang Hao and said, "You wish."
Zhang Hao chuckled foolishly. Suddenly, he saw Liu Sanjin, who was standing to the side, looking a bit serious. He stepped forward and asked, "Old Liu, are you still worried about the Heavenly Demon Sect people?"
Old Liu nodded and smiled bitterly, "That's right. The Heavenly Demon Sect failed this time, and I'm worried they won't let it go easily."
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Old Liu. Since I've accepted your mission, I will safely escort you to Ninghai City. By then, with your Family members there to meet you, everything should be fine."
Old Liu looked at Zhang Hao and nodded slightly, "Yes, the clan's experts are currently in Ninghai City to meet us. With the clan experts protecting us, we will feel more confident."
Zhang Hao nodded slightly. If it was really as the Blood Robe People said. The Liu Family clan is a top Family in the Balong Empire, so sending a few Martial Kings is definitely not a problem.
After the Tianhai Mercenary Group finished burying their companions' bodies. The merchant group continued on their journey. After being three days away from Ninghai City, it got dark, so they had to set up camp.
Zhang Hao felt a little uneasy. For some reason, he always felt that the closer they got to Ninghai City, the stronger the sense of danger became. Was it because of the Heavenly Demon Sect? Zhang Hao didn't know.
