Chapter 27: The Three Parties Unite

In the woods.
The silver light on Bernard’s iron hand smoothly weaved together to form a dense, silver light net, which flew to cover Luo Hao.
In the [Ten Times Gravity] field, Luo Hao walked swiftly. With his broadsword, he drew many odd arcs in the air to tear the light net in front of him into pieces.
Bernard looked calm without the slightest bit of fear on his face. Yet he still maintained a distance from Luo Hao and kept producing silver light nets one after another, throwing them at Luo Hao.
The silver light net was unaffected by the intensified gravity. It was still floating in the air, and its torn part reconnected and came around Luo Hao’s body.
Seeing from afar, Luo Hao seemed to be in the centre of a broken spider web. As he swung his broadsword, those light nets were torn to pieces, but never disappeared.
At the same time, Bernard still kept a proper distance from Luo Hao and never stopped producing more light nets to envelope Luo Hao, making them more closely knitted.
Bernard didn’t let go of Luo Hao, apparently, he didn’t need to use much effort, as he smirked to Luo Hao occasionally. "My friend, why do you have to fight with me head on? We just want the two women. My people have already followed them. Sure enough, the two women must have been captured by my people already. And you can’t escape from my [Silver Net]. The results is very clear. Don’t waste your time."
"If anything were to happen to them, I swear, I will slaughter all members of your Fangs Mercenary Corps!" While in the light net, Luo Hao replied with a twisted expression, "I will spend the rest of my life chasing after your Fangs Mercenary Corps, until I kill every single one of you!"
Bernard’s heart shook; he took a deep breath and nodded, "It seems like I have to kill you now."
����
"Captain! Captain!" There came a surprised cry, "Jork’s dead! He just got a cut on his arm, and was immediately poisoned to death!"
Bernard’s expression darkened, as he shouted, "Don’t hold back! Kill the two of them as soon as possible! Shit! They dared to use poison! Cut them into pieces and feed them to the demon beasts! I want their bodies mutilated!"
The mercenaries shouted out, and together they began to chase Zhao Xin and Hu Long.
With a ruthless expression, Bernard was ready to fight to death with Luo Hao as he used all his power to operate the [Silver Net] which covered the whole area around Luo Hao,.
Suddenly, beams of lightning that were thick as a finger turned into another huge net and fell from the sky upon Luo Hao.
This shocked shocked Luo Hao and his face turned pale at once. Though, he tried hard to wave his broadsword, he couldn’t cut down the newly arrived lightning net.
There were ten beams of lightning shining in an odd light as they twined like magic snakes.
Frightened, Luo Hao immediately wielded his broadsword and operated all his Profound Qi. Then the broadsword generated a white light which formed into rings that surrounded Luo Hao.
"Bzz bzz! Bzz bzz!"
Those finger-like lightning beams came towards Luo Hao. As they bumped into the white rings, sounds of electric explosion came at once.
The speed at which Luo Hao was losing Profound Qi sped up several times compared to before!
Under the fierce lightning, his energy was consumed quickly and his face turned extremely pale.
A sharp sword, filled with the severe atmosphere of slaughter, suddenly appeared above Luo Hao’s head and struck on the rings surrounding Luo Hao’s body.
"Boom!"
Luo Hao’s body shook intensely and he spit out a mouthful of blood. He staggered and stepped back.
Bernard’s [Silver Net] took advantage of this to wrap Luo Hao tightly so as to restrict his movements.
"Puchi!"
The sharp sword went through Luo Hao’s body, and that Crescent Emissary with a pale mask on his face finally appeared.
Alongside him was Mo Chaoge from the Mo family, who walked out from behind an ancient tree with lightning circling between his fingers.
"Pooh!" "Pooh!" "Pooh!"
The Crescent Emissary got a brutal look in his eyes, as his sharp sword went in and out of Luo Hao’s body thrice.
The gravitational field faded away slowly...
"Uncle Luo!"
Zhao Xin’s eyes turned red and he cried in deep grief.
Arrows flew toward Zhao Xin one after another. His body became like a hedgehog under the bombardment of arrows and he fell on ground and died with regret in his eyes.
On Hu Long’s side, arrows were also flying around him. But they seemed to be not as accurate because instead of killing Hu Long, they blocked the people from the Fangs Mercenary Corps who were chasing Hu Long.
Seizing this opportunity, Hu Long ran away crazily in the wood with red eyes. "Uncle Luo and Zhao Xin are dead. Only Miss Mu can avenge them. I must bring this news to Miss Mu..."
"Chase him!" The people from the Fangs Mercenary Corps yelled and began to chase, but only to find arrows falling down from the sky and blocking their way.
They turned rigid and realized someone didn’t want them to chase Hu Long, so they searched for that archer with vicious eyes.
Some people with pale masks appeared from the woods, and there were some warriors from the Mo Family among them; they were carrying bows and arrows, with a murderous expression on their faces.
"Why did you two help me kill him?" Frowning, Bernard asked Mo Chaoge and the Star Emissary, "I don’t know you two, do I? What do you want from me for helping me kill him?"
"We were not helping you." The Star Emissary walked up and glared at him, "Luo Hao was an enemy of the Dark World that we were chasing all this time. It’s you who helped us."
Mo Chaoge was just calmly standing in the side. He frowned and asked, "Emissary, you said this is the strongest guy among those who were protecting that bastard. Since he is dead, does it mean we don’t need to waste time anymore?"
"Mmm hmm." The Star Emissary nodded, "Don’t worry. I left some Dark Moon Fragrance on Hu Long and ordered my people to purposely let him go so he can guide us to their location. Later we will follow the trail left by the Dark Moon Fragrance and find the people we want."
"Good." Mo Chaoge smiled, "This is not far from our Merchant Union. After everything’s done, would you like to have a cup of tea in our Mo family and discuss about the details of our cooperation, Emissary?"
"No problem." The Crescent Emissary nodded.
In the past couple of days, the Crescent Emissary from the Dark World had already teamed up with Mo Chaoge, and they had come to a secret agreement.
"Why did you kill this guy?" Bernard waved his hand and soon his mercenaries had already crowded around him.
"For a teenage girl, and a very skinny boy." Mo Chaoge smiled, "I’ve long known the name of the Fangs Mercenary Corps. Now I know you why you really deserve such a reputation. I’m Mo Chaoge from the Mo family of the Merchant Union. I wonder if you are interested in doing business with the Mo family, captain?"
"What kind of business?" Bernard frowned.
"Of course money-making kind! Haha! If you are interested, we can discuss the details. I will guarantee your satisfaction." Mo Chaoge laughed.
"Let’s talk about it later." Bernard pondered for a moment and continued, "If there were no accidents, my people must have already captured the people you want. You want the teenage girl and the boy, but we have to get something out of this too. The female mercenary with the hot body belongs to us, the Fangs Mercenary Corps, how’s that?"
Bernard knew they were tough people, and both the Dark World or Mo family from the Merchant Union had huge influences.
The two leaders, the Crescent Emissary and Mo Chaoge, were both at the Disaster Realm, same as him, and those two had come to an agreement. After calculating in his mind, Bernard was sure that he could not compete with their joint power and could only step back.
Mo Chaoge didn’t reply, instead he looked at the Crescent Emissary from the Dark World.
The Crescent Emissary’s eyes flashed and he nodded slowly, "No problem."
"Well, let’s go get them then." seeing him agreeing, Bernard became relieved. He had seen the brutality of those two people and he didn’t dare to get on bad terms with them.

Mu Yu Die crouched down on the ground and dressed up the wound for Shi Yan carefully.
With a rigid expression, Shi Yan was silent. He sat on the ground and examined the wound on his shoulder, and the purification of Tumu’s Profound Qi in his meridians. He was so focused that he didn’t even take a glimpse at Mu Yu Die.
"Sometimes he is incredibly lustful and sometimes he is more righteous than anyone, such a weird guy..."
Mu Yu Die questioned secretly in her heart, as generally in recent days, Shi Yan audaciously gazed at her without any disguise.
But now they were so close and could even smell the scent on each other, Shi Yan didn’t even shifted his gaze towards her, he didn’t show any of his usual rudeness. She was rather confused.
Mu Yu Die was perplexed inside, and she became unsure about Shi Yan’s real personality.
Narrowing his eyes, Shi Yan concentrated on the changes occurring inside his body.
The cells of the wound on his shoulder were very active. Without doing anything, he could still sense they were starting to recover gradually with the aid of the Immortal Martial Spirit.
After Tumu’s Profound Qi was purified in his meridians, the odd negative emotions were generated secretly within them.
After operating [Rampage], he didn’t have the slightest amount of strength in his limbs and they ached very badly, seemingly not able to recover in a short time. This familiar side effect made him uncomfortable but he could do nothing about it.
Di Yalan, who was not far from them, regained her spirit after resting for a while and began to search Tumu’s body.
One minute later, Di Yalan walked to Mu Yu Die and Shi Yan with a little bag in her hand. "There is some food on this guy, plus some demon beast materials, and three Star Bombs. We won’t be able to use the demon beast materials, but the Star Bombs are rather brutal."
"Star Bombs?" Shi Yan’s eyes suddenly became spirited and he stared at the green balls which were as big as fists. He asked with a lot of interest, "What are they for?"
"It will explode once shaken and will produce very sharp starry blades, which would fly in all directions. The impact is so strong that even a Profound Qi shield from a Human Realm warrior would be pierced immediately. It’s a type of brutal treasure and is very expensive. These three should cost at least five thousand of black crystal coins!" Di Yalan explained.
"Indeed brutal enough! Give it to me." Shi Yan stretched out his hand and casually asked Di Yalan to hand it to him.
"Tata! Tatata!" Sounds of heavy footsteps came suddenly.
Di Yalan got pale and held her short sword cautiously.
Shi Yan pushed Mu Yu Die away a little rudely. He stood up with a grunt with the dagger in his hand, and began to stare at the direction where the sound came.
Hu Long, with bloody eyes and blood on his chest, came staggering toward them.
At the sight of Di Yalan, Hu Long suddenly burst into tears and cried, "Uncle Luo and Zhao Xin are dead. Miss Mu, they died tragically! You must avenge them!"
