Tianyan’s eyes widened.
I just felt an extremely hot sensation in my head.
Then it burned.
In just a moment, Tian Yan lost consciousness.
He didn't figure it out until his death.
I am a master at playing with fire.
I actually failed because of playing with fire!
And that day Yan died.
The mercenaries of the Skyfire Mercenary Group were also dumbfounded.
Some shouted directly, "The leader is dead, run!"
Then he ran away desperately.
Some also have a deep affection for Captain Tian Yan.
After seeing Tian Yan die, he roared, "Dare to kill our leader, I want you to pay with your life!"
Then he rushed towards Zhou Yu.
However awaiting their results.
It’s the same as Tianyan.
die.
Zhou Yu swung his sword and killed them like slashing ants.
More than a dozen people died under his sword in just a few moments.
The scarlet blood dyed the sword's edge red.
The conspicuous blood dripped along the blade of the heavy sword toward the ground.
The whole place was filled with silence.
There were still many mercenaries standing there in a daze.
Some had faces full of horror and swallowed heavily.
Suddenly, a man with a knife stepped forward and took two heavy steps.
Zhou Yu's eyes fell on the man and he slowly raised his sword.
At this moment, the man with the knife suddenly fell to his knees.
Then he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, "Master, please let me follow you!"
Then, one after another, the mercenaries knelt down and kowtowed to Zhou Yu.
All of them must surrender to Zhou Yu.
They begged him to take them in and take them with them to work.
Zhou Yu was a little dazed.
Then he recalled the time when Li Yao wanted to join him.
Li Yao said that they, the mercenaries, worship the strong.
They will follow whoever is strong enough.
And now that Zhou Yu has killed the leader of the Skyfire Mercenary Group, these people realize that Zhou Yu is the strongest.
So he thought about joining Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu didn't say anything.
He is strong now, but there will be stronger people in the future.
Now that these people have joined him, will they also join someone else when someone stronger appears in the future
Zhou Yu looked at the man holding the knife and asked:
"Take me to get the Black Stone."
The man with the knife nodded, "Boss, follow me!"
Zhou Yu frowned, "I didn't agree to be your leader."
The man with the knife's face changed, and then he said earnestly:
"Sir, please accept us brothers."
"You killed our leader. If you hadn't taken us in, we brothers would have been swallowed up by other mercenary groups in Ice City in a few days."
“I don’t know what kind of torture will be waiting for us then.”
"Instead of that, brothers would rather follow you."
Zhou Yu didn't say anything.
He would not rashly recruit his men before he had control over the witch.
The hearts of people in the cultivation world are sinister.
He couldn't figure out the thoughts of these practitioners.
You can know a person’s face but not his heart.
Must be on guard!
Otherwise, be careful of someone hiding a dagger behind a smile.
"I know what you are thinking, you are afraid that we are not loyal enough."
"So, we mercenaries have a rule, we swear an oath of blood."
"We swore an oath of blood to acknowledge you as our master. Before you die, we will never surrender to anyone else. If we break this oath, we will die a miserable death!"
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't say anything, the man with the knife gritted his teeth and said:
"If you still don't believe it, then we brothers will swear on our souls!"
"Practitioners are watched over by the gods. If they break their vows, they will be punished by the gods. Are you still worried?"
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows.
Those who practice cultivation are watched over by heaven.
If they swear an oath and break it one day in the future, they will be killed by the law of heaven.
This is trustworthy.
And in the future we will attack the Yanyue Sect.
If you fail, you must leave yourself a way out so that you can make a comeback.
Zhou Yu thought in his heart.
He immediately nodded and said, "In that case, then you should swear an oath."
The mercenaries looked delighted.
But some mercenaries just left directly.
Zhou Yu did not stop him.
It is better to let those who have different intentions go.
He was too lazy to kill again.
It posed no threat to him.
"We swear by the Heavenly Dao to submit to Zhou Yu. If we break our oath, we will never be able to improve our cultivation and will be executed by the Heavenly Dao!"
All the mercenaries swore an oath by pointing their fingers to the sky.
Afterwards, rays of light appeared above everyone's heads.
Glancing up at the sky.
This is the symbol that the oath has taken effect.
If they dare to disobey in the future, they will be punished by heaven.
Zhou Yu then let down his guard, looked at the man with the knife, and asked:
"May I have your name?"
The knife-wielding man was delighted and stepped forward to reply, "My name is Li Shisan, and I am at the initial stage of foundation building."
Zhou Yu nodded and asked, "How old are you?"
The man with the knife looked not much older than him.
In the secular world, someone who has reached the initial stage of foundation building at the age of around 20 is definitely a rare genius.
Li Shisan replied, "Nineteen."
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows. This Li Shisan was actually one year younger than him.
It’s just that Zhou Yu looks more immature and younger.
That's why people usually mistake him for a teenager.
Zhou Yu thought about it and took out a sword manual from the black ring. "This is a sword manual. You can practice it in the future. If you have talent, it won't be a problem to achieve the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the future."
This sword manual is of high quality.
It's ground level.
But Zhou Yu doesn't need it.
He has a super sword skill called "One Sword to Decide the Outcome of All".
And it was taught by my master.
Furthermore, there are many special sword skills that cannot be classified by grade.
It is always good to have many skills.
But if there are too many of them, it will distract people.
So it’s not about quantity but quality of skills!
At present, Zhou Yu has just mastered the elementary secrets of the Sword of Destiny.
Can only exert one tenth of its strength.
He simply didn't have time to learn any other sword skills.
Moreover, when he realized that one sword could decide the outcome, he could also comprehend new sword skills from it.
That's why he could casually give a sword manual to Li Shisan and let him practice.
Li Shisan opened the sword manual and immediately a look of joy appeared on his face.
Knowing how precious this sword manual is, he was filled with gratitude towards Zhou Yu.
There was no doubt that what Zhou Yu said was false.
If he could practice this local-level sword skill to perfection, he could definitely reach the Tribulation Crossing Stage!
"I am a sword cultivator, I don't have any knife skills, so you can watch me practice these sword skills. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me. I will leave after a while."
Zhou Yu spoke.
Li Shisan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly, "Don't worry, sir, I'm not specialized in using a knife, but this knife is of a better grade, so I'll use it temporarily. I mainly practice swordsmanship."
Zhou Yu nodded, somewhat surprised.
But he didn't say much.
"Take me to get the Black Stone."
He spoke out.
Li Shisan nodded, "Sir... should we call you Captain from now on? Should we change the name of our mercenary group?"
