With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods-Chapter 198 The Mantis Stalks The Cicada, Unaware Of The Oriole Behind
This time, Team Leader Shen didn't charge at the beast or Master Feng, but instead he asked, "What do you mean by that? What do we not understand?"
Master Feng had the same smile as he said, "Do you really think that all of this is happening for no reason?" ๐๐ณ๐ฆe๐e๐ฏn๐ผัต๐l.๐๐๐
Team Leader Shen and the rest of his men all deeply knitted their brows when they heard this.
What did he mean by this?
They had given their lives to the Mercenary Guild and now that Mercenary Guild was trying to kill them with this beast? How could any of this make any sense?
Seeing the look on their faces, Master Feng shook his head before saying, "Do you really think that we would let traitors like you go?"
Team Leader Shen and his men knitted their brows even more when they heard this. Team Leader Shen asked, "What do you mean by traitors? When have we ever betrayed the Mercenary Guild?"
This time, Master Feng no longer revealed the same look of disdain that he had on his face the entire time. This time, Master Feng said with a serious look, "Do you really think that we don't know what you've been doing? Do you remember that mission that we sent you on a month ago?"
Team Leader Shen revealed a confused look at first, but after thinking for a bit, he suddenly revealed a look of understanding as he thought of the mission that Master Feng referred to.
It was the mission that they had deliberately chosen to fail.
That was because the mission had involved kidnapping childrenโฆ
While they had pledged their loyalty to the Mercenary Guild, there were things that touched their bottom lines. They still had their conscience as humans, so they couldn't bring themselves to do this mission. free๐ ๐๐๐๐ัต๐l.๐o๏ฝ
So instead, they had found some excuse to fail this mission.
They had thought that this matter was closed since their superiors had accepted their excuse, but now it seemed like that wasn't the case.
Team Leader Shen said with a dark look on his face, "Even if we have sworn loyalty to the Mercenary Guild, that doesn't mean that we will stop being human. Rather, shouldn't it be said that you're the ones that have betrayed the Mercenary Guild for ordering something like this? If it wasn't for our family, we would have ignored everything and reported you to the Mercenary Guild headquarters."
Master Feng shook his head and said, "Don't you see this? Don't you see this at all? This is a complete betrayal of the Mercenary Guild. You're clearly biting the hand that feeds you!"
Team Leader Shen's face sank even more as he said, "Have you completely lost your humanity? You do not represent the Mercenary Guild and you will not get away with this!"
Master Feng looked at him with a cold look and said, "Do you think that you can represent the Mercenary Guild then? Do you think that anything you say matters?" After a pause, he added, "Even if you're not willing to do the work, there are plenty that are willing. So there's no need for you to live any longer."
Team Leader Shen's face twisted when he heard this and he roared out, "You! Feng Yu Ze! Don't you think thatโฆ"
Before he could finish, Master Feng had already waved his hand with a cold look on his face.
With this wave of his hand, the beast finally took a step for the first time.
The beast had never made a move to attack them and had passively taken their attacks, but now that it was making its move, Team Leader Shen knew that this was a dangerous situation.
As the beast charged at them, Team Leader Shen immediately raised his sword and roared, "Formation B!"
Once his men behind him heard this, they immediately went into another formation. However, instead of going into a formation where they were standing in a triangle with the point being where Team Leader Shen was, they were now spread out in the shape of a hexagon.
Each person was the perfect length away from each other and they formed a lattice of hexagons in between them.
Once they had taken this formation, they all released their spiritual energy to draw the lines of the hexagon before the hexagons that they formed in between them rose into the air. All of these hexagons gathered where Team Leader Shen was standing, blocking him off from the beast.
The beasts had raised both of its claws and had pulled them back before stabbing out with them at the same time at the hexagons in front of Team Leader Shen.
There were a total of ten hexagons that had been formed with the spiritual energy of all his subordinates and the attack of the beast had broken through eight of them. There were only two hexagons that were left between Team Leader Shen and the beast as the beast's claws had been stopped.
After eight of these hexagons shattered, many of his subordinates behind him also fell down from using all of their spiritual energy.
All the formations that Team Leader Shen's group were said to have the same level of power as a cultivator at the Ninth Qi Gathering Realm, but when facing this beast that was truly at the Ninth Qi Gathering Realm, they realized that this wasn't true.
Even if it had the same level of power, their spiritual energy wouldn't be able to match the spiritual energy of a true Ninth Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator.
But it was too late for them to consider this since the other side clearly wanted to kill them. So with the slight delay that was created by blocking the beast's attack, Team Leader Shen gathered all of the spiritual energy that he had left and swung at the beast's neck.
It was just too bad that the beast moved much faster than he did.
Even if he had caught the beast off guard by negating its attacking, he still wasn't able to land the blow accurately. All he could do was barely graze the beast's neck and draw a bit of blood before swinging his blade down on the ground.
With an incredible speed, the beast pulled back to where Master Feng was before raising a claw to touch its neck that had a slight cut on it.
The beast scraped a bit of its blood with that claw that licked it off before looking at Team Leader Shen with murderous intent. It couldn't believe that such a weakling had even been able to hurt it, this had hurt the little bit of pride that its little bit of intelligence gave it.
Master Feng was also surprised by this since he knew that this creature wasn't just in the Ninth Qi Gathering Realm, but rather in the Peak Ninth Qi Gathering Realm, just a step away from the Foundation Realm. These two were completely different concepts since the beast's spiritual energy had already started condensing into the spiritual energy that one would only see in the Foundation Realm.
So it couldn't be compared with the spiritual energy that one had in the Qi Gathering Realm.
The beast didn't immediately attack Team Leader Shen, but instead it gave a roar before just standing there. As it stood there, one could sense that the flow of spiritual energy around it had started to change.
The spiritual energy in the air around the beast started to quickly swirl in a spiral around it as it started absorbing the spiritual energy right out of the air. As it did so, the slash wound on its neck stopped bleeding and started closing at a visible rate.
One could even see the black skin forming as it slowly covered up the wound before it completely disappeared.
In just a few seconds, it stood there in perfect condition as if nothing had happened to it.
Both Master Feng and Team Leader Shen were shocked by this.
It was normal for Team Leader Shen to be shocked by this, but as for why Master Feng was shocked by thisโฆThat was because he hadn't heard anything about this either!
As the one who had been put in charge of this execution, he had been given control of this beast and had been given all the information about what the beast was capable of. However, that package that he had been given had never mentioned this ability beforeโฆ
Was it because they didn't tell him or because even the researchers didn't know about this?
Either way, it was imperative that he ended this quickly and brought this beast back to check it because there was definitely something off about this beastโฆ
So after a slight moment of being dazed, Master Feng said to the beast, "Finish them off quickly."
The beast looked at Master Feng as if it was feeling something, but then it turned back to Team Leader Shen with eyes filled with rage. It jumped out with the same incredible speed as before, but this time it only slashed out with a single claw.
It was wary of Team Leader Shen, so it wanted to keep one claw free just in case Team Leader Shen was going to try something.
But it was just too bad that Team Leader Shen didn't have another trick up his sleeve.
He had already used up all the spiritual energy that his subordinates had, so there were no more formations that he could use. The only thing that he could do was watch the claw and slowly accept his death.
However, before the claw could land, there was a sword that suddenly appeared out of nowhere that slashed down on the beast's neck.
