Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

After all, the employer does not have overwhelming dominance, only slightly ahead. The appearance of a late-stage B-level mercenary will surely tip the scales of victory.

Yi Tian and the mercenary summoned by the intruder appeared almost simultaneously.

"Submit obediently to death! Don’t think of resisting. Do you know who I hired? The Four Seas, ranked 465th on the Mercenary Combat Power Golden List."

The intruder sneered as he and the employer fought on the city wall.

Mercenary Four Seas was also clad in A-level Battle Armor. Unlike Yi Tian, he did not hide his face, and his eyes looked down on Yi Tian with disdain.

Four Seas belonged to the Dao Body Race, tall and mighty, coupled with his gold armor, he looked imposing and majestic.

His momentum boosted the morale of the intruder, even making their attacks more fierce, showing a trend of "turning defeat into victory."

The employer was unfazed and deliberately switched from attack to tight defense, waiting for the world’s second-best to solve Four Seas, making victory in this battle easy for him.

"Hmph! It’s not determined yet who will die!"

Yi Tian’s employer was very cunning and did not reveal that he had hired the world’s second-best.

Once he mentioned the world’s second-best, Four Seas would likely run away.

The employer wanted the mercenary who dared to come to his territory dead.

If it weren’t for mercenary Four Seas’ descent, the employer could instead gain the intruder’s Celestial Dao Stone.

Though he couldn’t get the Celestial Dao Stone, the armors and weapons of mercenary Four Hundred and the intruder and his subordinates still allowed the employer to gain riches.

"Mercenary Four Seas! Ranked 465."

Yi Tian also heard this information.

This meant Four Seas’ Celestial Dao Stone might be a Level 3 Celestial Dao Stone.

"You’re not planning to run away?"

Four Seas was puzzled to see that Yi Tian had no intention of escaping.

Could it be that this guy doesn’t know the name of Four Seas?

Or maybe this guy is brainless?

The Mercenary Golden List, although not equivalent to the Combat Power Golden List.

But without strong power, it’s impossible to rank in the thousands on the Mercenary Golden List.

Four Seas also had a ranking on the Combat Power Golden List, ranking 780th.

Four Seas considered himself to have few rivals among B-level mercenaries below the top 300.

Considering the population base of the Celestial Dao World, encountering a mercenary within the top 300 is very rare.

"Life and death are decreed by fate, wealth and honor are in the heavens!"

Yi Tian spoke lightly, lifting his Cyan Gang Sword, and charged at Four Seas.

That one phrase encapsulated the meaning of a mercenary in the Celestial Dao World.

When the two meet, whoever dies is unlucky!

"Seeking death!"

Four Seas drew his blade and also charged at Yi Tian. A Celestial Dao Stone delivered to the door, why not take it?

"Clang!"

Their speeds were extremely fast, colliding in an instant.

A metallic sound echoed.

Yi Tian passed by Four Seas!

"This sword...so...familiar!"

When Yi Tian’s Cyan Gang Sword pierced through Four Seas’ chest, he said intermittently, only then remembering where he had seen this sword before.

Throughout the Cosmic Ten Thousand Races, there are countless identical swords.

He regretted not activating his SS-level talent, wondering if relying on Seventh-level Blade Mastery would have been different?

At the moment his consciousness faded.

The silhouette of the world’s second-best appeared in his mind!

Perhaps activating the talent wouldn’t have helped!

"Bang!"

Four Seas fell onto the city wall.

The employer wasn’t surprised, while the intruder stared wide-eyed, frightened.

How could Four Seas be killed in an instant?

Could it be that he hired a strong mercenary ranked in the top 100 of the Mercenary Golden List?

With mercenaries numbering in the billions, hiring someone from the top 100 Golden List is very challenging.

The second Lord’s offense and defense battle has already ignited in the Celestial Dao World.

Even those mercenaries with extremely low win rates have become a life-saving straw for some defenders.

In these two days, there have been massive casualties among mercenaries.

Mercenaries’ win rates have plummeted continuously.

Originally, win rates of over 95% were everywhere, now even 90% win-rate mercenaries are rare.

Even mercenaries on the Mercenary Golden List have begun to face failures.

Mercenaries with a 100% win rate have become extremely rare.

"Phew!"

Yi Tian swept a sword Qi across.

The intruder died with doubts.

The intruder’s death caused his contracted subordinates to perish along.

Those subordinates not under contract surrendered in succession, begging for their lives.

Their loyalty was already very low, unable to die for the intruder.

"Third-level Sealed Celestial Dao Stone!"

As expected by Yi Tian, he found the much desired Third-level Sealed Celestial Dao Stone on Four Seas.

It can generate a territory of three hundred square kilometers, which can be shaped according to the Lord’s will.

Rich resources of freshwater and saltwater lakes.

If mountains are nurtured, there is a chance of a mineral vein being born, with a gold mine being possible.

The Celestial Dao Stone obtained from the intruder was a Second-Level Sealed Celestial Dao Stone, also very good.

"Thanks to the world’s second-best!"

The employer thanked Yi Tian. He knew the world’s second-best is "not easy to get along with" and dared not say much.

"Hmm! Until next time."

Yi Tian nodded in acknowledgment and teleported away.

"Mercenary System Tip: An employer has sent you a task request: Explore a Three-Star Treasure, protect the employer, with a Second-Level Sealed Celestial Dao Stone as payment. Do you accept the task?"

A different task appeared in Yi Tian’s sight.

"Treasure is a place of crisis, fraught with danger. If you agree to give me half of the treasure inside, I can agree!"

Yi Tian conveyed this message to the employer.

Now, Yi Tian was enjoying the benefits of acquiring Sealed Celestial Dao Stones. Exploring a treasure takes time and could potentially end in disappointment, so Yi Tian needed additional conditions.

Yi Tian also had a Treasure Map, a four-star Treasure Map.

If the employer truly agreed to his terms, Yi Tian wouldn’t mind spending a lot of time to see it for himself.

"Okay! But let me clarify in advance. The treasure may be empty. Don’t blame me later." The employer, very afraid of the world’s second-best, clearly explained the matter of the Treasure Map.

"I won’t!" Yi Tian couldn’t help but chuckle. Was he really that terrifying?

After the employer agreed, Yi Tian teleported to the employer’s location.

The employer was still on the territory and hadn’t set out.

After teleporting to the employer’s territory, Yi Tian first saw a large pile of gold.

A whole ten thousand units of gold, representing the employer’s substantial wealth.

This should be the cost of activating the Treasure Map.

Yi Tian’s four-star Blue Dragon Pirate Treasure Map required consuming one hundred thousand units of gold.

Then he looked at the employer.

The employer turned out to be a woman.

Dao Body, of the same race as the Huaxia Human Race.

Except her clothes were similar to ancient Huaxia women’s attire.

Her features were as if painted, her skin as white as snow.

According to Yi Tian’s aesthetic view, she was very beautiful, with a scholarly air between her brows, truly like a classic beauty of Huaxia.

Behind the employer were more than a dozen women, most of whom were at Gold Level.

As Yi Tian was scrutinizing the employer, she was also scrutinizing Yi Tian.

The legendary world’s second-best, entirely different from the Golden Arena.

Although, likewise, his face was unseen.

At least, the Dragon Scale Armor was much more pleasing to the eye than a skull mask.

The treasure is a place of danger, and the employer was very happy to suddenly contact the world’s second-best.

Even though the world’s second-best was very greedy, needing half the treasure, for her own safety, the employer had no choice but to agree.

Although the world’s second-best was B-level, some Lords believed that the world’s second-best possessed S-level Attack Power.

The employer believed they would certainly be able to extract the treasure.

"Can we set off now?"

Yi Tian asked the employer.

"Sure, the Treasure Map I obtained is the ’Forest Elder’s Relic,’ which is a strongman’s lifetime treasure hidden in the forest at the end of their life. This map was drawn to let future generations search for it."

The employer spread out a cyan Beast Hide Scroll.
