Chapter 121 - 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.
