Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 24 Mandarin Fish Mercenary Group

It was still the same narrow path, with mottled light and shadow passing through the gaps between the towering leaves beside the path.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Jiang Xuan fell into deep thought amidst the swaying shadows of the trees...

Walking on the path where I first met Fat and Thin again, my mood was completely different.

When he left Yingzhou, he had a desire to gain some good experience and was filled with passion. It was not until he met the fat and thin men that he truly understood what the butler Li Qizhi said before he left.

The dangers of the world are often unexpected.

Even though the fat and thin men were already mid-level heavenly warriors, they still went around stealing money and killing people, and ultimately paid a heavy price for their greed.

Although they were not good people, they really taught me a lesson when I was traveling far away from home for the first time.

Never underestimate your opponent. A single underestimation may cost you your life.

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little scared. If it weren't for the book "Falling Leaf Spear Technique", his life would be in danger now.

When the middle-aged man was settling the accounts at the Green Lake Auction House, Jiang Xuan was casually flipping through the gunmanship manual and discovered that several of the moves were very similar to the Suiyuan gunmanship created by his father.

Jiang Xuan had some thoughts in his mind. If this Falling Leaf Spear Technique was really created by a senior with superb spear skills as he guessed,

Based on this further speculation, if the moves of this spear master are integrated with the Suiyuan spear technique that one originally practiced, perhaps the essence of Suiyuan spear technique can be brought out to the fullest extent, making it more unpredictable.

I wanted to slowly explore the various possibilities between the Falling Leaf Spear Technique and the Suiran Spear Technique, as well as the moves and integration, in the days to come.

Unexpectedly, the reappearance of the fat man forced Jiang Xuan to temporarily try out the fusion of moves he had conceived in his mind during the battle.

Although he only tried two moves, Jiang Xuan, who was already poisoned at the time, still took a huge risk.

Facts have also proved that every round of Jiang Xuan's attempts were hit by the fat man's short knife.

But during the trial moves, what made Jiang Xuan most uneasy was not the injury he suffered after the trial moves, but the fact that the two trial moves were not complete.

There are three styles of Suiyuan spear techniques that have been practiced thoroughly, focusing on sweeping, stabbing and throwing.

These moves are used whether fighting against fat people or thin people.

In a rough glance at the Falling Leaf Spear Technique, Jiang Xuan's familiarity with the Suiyuan Spear Technique enabled him to quickly discover the corresponding three spear techniques. Although the secret book did not name each spear technique, it was obvious that they were three spear techniques that focused on sweeping, stabbing and throwing.

The three moves in the Falling Leaf Spear Technique vaguely correspond to the three moves in the Suiyuan Spear Technique, but Jiang Xuan only tried two combinations and two moves.

It’s not that Jiang Xuan can’t hold on for another round, but the third style of spear requires throwing the spear.

Originally, Jiang Xuan could just throw one of Wuxi and Yanxing's spears to test the attack, and then use the other spear to unleash the killing move.

But although Jiang Xuan held the Swallow, the Black Rhino had already been snatched by Fatty and flung dozens of feet into a boulder, making it impossible to retrieve it. This forced Jiang Xuan to unleash his third move, risking his life without even testing it.

Fortunately, that attack was beyond Jiang Xuan's expectations in terms of both its power and its unpredictable and strangeness, like a swimming dragon.

Jiang Xuan was always alert to his surroundings, not missing a single human sound.

The more remote the place, the more likely people who travel alone are to be targeted. Jiang Xuan now has a deep understanding of this truth.

Just now, Jiang Xuan vaguely felt that the wounds on his body began to heal at a slightly noticeable speed. If this continued, the wounds would be basically healed within two days.

According to the knowledge of warriors at various levels of strength, a wound healing at a slightly noticeable speed within a few days is a significant sign that a warrior has reached the middle level of the Heavenly Rank.

Perhaps it was because of the strange poison, or perhaps it was because the battle with the fat man was so thrilling, Jiang Xuan actually discovered that he had unknowingly reached the strength of the fourth level of the Heavenly Rank and officially became a mid-level Heavenly Rank warrior!
Just when Jiang Xuan was surprised, a sound in the distance triggered his vigilance.

"Ah! Those bastards from the Wolf Mercenary Group are truly inhuman. They rely on the fact that they have so many Heavenly Rank warriors to rob, kill, and plunder everywhere. Ugh!"

"Just accept it as bad luck. We can only blame ourselves for going out at the wrong time today and running into them."

"Just admit your bad luck? You coward! How many brothers have we lost? Count them yourself, they were brothers who went through life and death together! The Wolf Mercenaries killed our brothers and stole our things, and you just say 'just admit your bad luck' and that's it? I can't swallow this!"

"So what if you can't swallow this anger? Go back and take revenge? Do you think we have too many brothers in the mercenary group?"

The two men grew increasingly excited as they spoke, their voices gradually rising from shouts to roars. One of them even took advantage of his size and yanked the other man, who was sitting on a rock, up to his feet. "Qi Mangu, are you scared? Are you afraid to avenge your brothers in the mercenary group?"

Qi Mangu, who was being held by the collar, was also furious and shouted, "If you have the ability, why don't you go after the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group?" As he spoke, he was about to swing his fist to hit them.

A burly man in his thirties stood up and said something. The two people who were arguing immediately stopped and sat back on a large rock.

Jiang Xuan leaned against a big tree and watched all this from a distance.

There were about dozens of people gathered where the two people were arguing, all wearing armor and carrying weapons.

Although he couldn't hear the details of the group's conversation, Jiang Xuan could still roughly guess their identities. They were a medium-sized mercenary group.

There are three types of mercenary groups. The first type is a mercenary group with fixed members that have established a system. Most of these mercenary groups are strong. The second type is a mercenary group temporarily organized by an employer. The strength of these mercenary groups is uneven, some are strong and some are weak, but there is often a lack of tacit understanding between members. There is also a type of mercenary group organized by individuals. The members of this type of mercenary group are either a group of inexperienced people who are full of courage, or people who are personally strong and have certain means to protect their lives, and so on.

From the backbone role played by the burly man in his every move, it was obvious that this was a well-organized mercenary group.

The mercenary group in front of them had obviously suffered some kind of blow, and there was a clear sense of frustration among their members.

This can be seen not only from the quarrel between the two men, but also from the overall morale of this mercenary group.

Secretly observing the mercenary group in the distance, Jiang Xuan recalled the "Evil Wolf Mercenary Group" that those people mentioned in front of the Green Lake Auction House before, and had some guesses in his mind.
