Chapter 121: Chapter 29 Mercenary King_2

"Investigate? Why go the long way around, when you have the leader of the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group at hand? It’s been ten days, and you still don’t know the cause and the outcome of the whole incident? If you want to know about the casualties of the mercenary group, no one knows better than Ni Qianjun and Feng Buhui. If it is about the casualties of the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group, I believe Old Teluo can give you the most satisfactory answer." Yue Jinghua’s gaze suddenly turned cold, "As for the death of Lihua Xue, if Captain Ni Huo can’t explain to Blue Crystal, I can give an explanation—she deserved to die."

She deserved to die! Such arrogant and domineering words, coming from the mouth of an unnoticed novice mercenary. Old Teluo and the others were all staring wide-eyed. In her eyes, there were no Captain Ni Huo or Blue Crystal Mercenary Group.

Yue Jinghua’s cold words were like a thunderclap exploding out of the blue, "You, how dare you," a vivid firework erupted, without moving, the Dark Heavenly Peak expert’s Dark Energy ripped through the air and struck Yue Jinghua’s chest in a flash.

Like being struck by a gigantic rolling boulder, the heat of the flame forced Yue Jinghua to stagger back several steps, a coppery taste flooding her throat.

Ni Huo’s Dark Energy was overwhelmingly fierce; merely the force of it was like a burning flame, causing Yue Jinghua’s skin to split open on the spot, her feet heavily stomping down yet not giving way, she braced herself with one hand on the ship’s rail, barely stabilizing her form.

The absolute difference between their strengths, a gap between Dark Heavenly Peak and Dark Jade that cannot be bridged, Yue Jinghua clenched a few Black Death Crystals in her hand.

What Yue Jinghua said, how could Ni Huo be unaware? He had intentionally sent Ni Qianjun and Feng Buhui away, precisely to dissociate the entire incident at Dan Demon Tomb from the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group. Yue Jinghua had long been chosen as the scapegoat.

But this lamb unexpectedly tore off the sheepskin draped over her, turning into a fierce she-wolf, something Ni Huo hadn’t anticipated.

"Captain," Old Teluo, restless, had repeatedly begged Old Teluo to protect Yue Jinghua before Ni Qianjun’s departure.

"Captain, everything Master Yue said, I can testify," a person emerged from the cabin, it was Feng Buhui.

Feng Buhui had permanently lost his right hand during this Blue Diamond Task. He walked past the crowd, and although he was now handless, no mercenary looked at him with spiteful eyes.

Seeing Feng Buhui, Ni Huo’s expression slightly soured, he had ordered people to let Feng Buhui recover in the cabin. But this kid had still sneaked out.

"Feng Buhui, are you defying my orders?" Ni Huo was more displeased, this Yue Jinghua indeed was formidable, not only Ah Feng, but even Feng Buhui had fallen for his way.

"Captain, this life of mine was saved by Master Yue. That day, inside Dan Demon Tomb, without her protecting me, Buhui would have already died there. Also, the brothers, every brother on the ship, the Durian Pills they took were also created by Master Yue. Moreover, this crossbow of mine, please take a look, Captain," Feng Buhui took out his Zhuge Crossbow, his right hand was maimed, and he could no longer handle his beloved crossbow properly.

Old Teluo’s nose tingled with emotion, he stepped forward, took the crossbow, and handed it to Ni Huo.

Ni Huo glanced at the crossbow casually, for a strongman like him, a crossbow, as a long-range weapon, wasn’t the best weapon of choice.

But as an old mercenary, just by a glance, he also discerned the uniqueness of this Zhuge Crossbow.

The grooves on the crossbow and the refined design that allowed it to fire ten arrows at once... this was a weapon made for killing.

Ni Huo was stunned, if Feng Buhui’s words were true, then the homely woman before him was undoubtedly a precious gem, a super-genius who could both refine pills and modify weapons?

"Yue Jinghua, would you be willing to join the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group and become a member of Reversed Fire, I am willing to promise you the title of a three-star Mercenary, however, I have one additional condition, you must never have anything to do with Ah Feng again," the escort military strategist is only a temporary member, after this Blue Diamond Task, Yue Jinghua had ended her collaborative relationship with the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group.

For the development of the mercenary group, Ni Huo can tolerate the presence__["attribute"] of someone like Yue Jinghua, but just now, she openly challenged his authority in front of everyone, plus her appearance and temperament, are definitely not a good match for Ah Feng.

"The eagle soars in the sky, the tiger returns to the deep mountains, I do not wish to join the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group," Yue Jinghua never thought about joining the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group, especially after taking a hit from Ni Huo and experiencing humiliation with the Flash Mink Leopard.

She, Yue Jinghua, is not a tolerant person, in contrast, she holds grudges. What does the Mercenary King matter, Mingzhu has its dusty days, a tiger fallen flat still gets bullied by dogs.

Ni Huo did not know, his words and actions today directly contributed to the rise of a legendary mercenary figure years later, history is just so serendipitous.

"If that is so, then you cannot leave here alive," Ni Huo was thoroughly enraged, for the first time, in so many years, for the first time someone dared to reject his invitation in such a tone.

The palm of Ni Huo’s hand, red as an iron branding, the air was twisted and distorted by the scorching Dark Energy.

Feng Buhui and Old Teluo simply didn’t have time to intervene.

Dark Energy, dozens of times more violent than before, was about to land on Yue Jinghua’s forehead.

As if foreseeing Yue Jinghua’s top of the skull about to be shattered, blood flowing in torrents, Fire Dragon Sail, everyone, at that moment, held their breath.

Unyielding, her gaze unwavering, the voice of the young girl was exceedingly cold, "Captain Ni Huo, I helped the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group only because I admired Ni Qianjun’s righteousness and honesty. I thought these qualities came from you. It seems, I was wrong."
