Chapter 166: Apostles Meet

In the forest

Boom!!

The violent energy fluctuation erupted from behind, and the terrifying whirlwind spiraled upwards.

The members of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps saw this scene, and their eyes instantly turned red. They shouted mournfully:

"Director!!!"

They knew that this must have been the leader’s desperate strike for their sake.

Li Qi stood among the crowd, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Will it be in time?

Then, the next second, Li Qi seemed to sense something, and couldn’t help but exhale a long breath.

"Master, can you save Director Feng?"

Li Qi silently asked.

"It’s hard to say, I’ll do my best." Qin Tian’s calm voice sounded in his mind.

"Yes."

Looking at the people around him who were immersed in grief, Li Qi decided not to disclose that the master had come to aid them. In case they couldn’t save Feng Mochuan, wouldn’t it be false joy, making them even more upset.

At this moment, an inexplicable feeling suddenly rose in Li Qi’s heart. He suddenly turned his head to look, and there, the aura of the Night Demon King was particularly thick. Not only that, but a similar aura suddenly formed and then rapidly grew.

What’s going on?

Li Qi was bewildered. Does the master have a new "doggy"?

In an instant, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Originally, the master "favored" me alone, but now there is a new competitor, and their strength is even greater, it feels like I’ve dug a pit for myself this time.

Li Qi pursed his lips, a little regretful.

......

"Feng Mochuan, from now on, I’ll call you Old Mo." Qin Tian said.

"Okay, Old Mo sounds pretty good too."

Feng Mochuan said with a carefree smile.

Qin Tian: "You don’t have to call me Master anymore, just call me Boss."

As a young man educated in modern times, he wasn’t too used to others calling him Master, always felt a bit strange.

"Okay, Boss."

Feng Mochuan smiled even more. Calling him Boss felt like no burden at all. After all, mercenaries did jobs for money, calling the patron Boss was second nature.

"Old Mo, how did you get poisoned and injured?" Qin Tian asked.

Hearing this, Feng Mochuan’s expression darkened, and he said in a low voice:

"I was poisoned by someone I trusted, who has been with me for seven or eight years. I never thought he would be turned by the Dark Elves."

"It’s not the Dark Elves." Qin Tian said slowly.

What?

Feng Mochuan was shocked and quickly asked, "Boss, do you mean..."

"It’s the Huoshan Mercenary Corps."

A glint of cold light flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes as he recounted to Feng Mochuan what he overheard from Huo Lianshan. After hearing it, Feng Mochuan was furious.

"My Hurricane Mercenary Corps has always steered clear of his Huoshan Mercenary Corps, avoiding them whenever possible. That bastard Huo Lianshan actually dared to stab me in the back, damn it, Huoshan Mercenary Corps, Huo Lianshan, just you wait!!!"

Feng Mochuan’s eyes reddened with anger, a cold killing intent emanating from him.

He almost died just now, and three brothers who had been with him for more than ten years died before that.

And all this was caused by the Huoshan Mercenary Corps.

If this grudge is not avenged, he swears not to be human!

"Of course, this grudge must be avenged, but Old Mo, do you think the Huoshan Mercenary Corps could be colluding with the Dark Elves?" Qin Tian asked calmly.

Feng Mochuan was poisoned, and the Dark Elves came right after.

It seemed fishy no matter how you looked at it.

Feng Mochuan calmed his mind a bit, thought for a moment, then said:

"It’s hard to say, but I think it’s possible."

"Hmm~~ Old Mo, don’t take action yet, your priority is to monitor the Huoshan Mercenary Corps. I want to see what critical moment Huo Lianshan is talking about, what they really intend to do." Qin Tian said slowly.

Right now, the Huoshan Mercenary Corps is at least on the surface an important ally for the Elves, helping them kill enemies.

If they are dealt with, human Spiritualists will definitely become unsettled.

But as long as the Huoshan Mercenary Corps dares to show any slip, taking them down would be a great achievement instead.

"Yes, Boss."

A hint of crimson flashed in Feng Mochuan’s eyes. After acquiring the Night Demon Blood, his aura had become slightly more cold.

Previously, it was difficult for him to monitor Huo Lianshan and the Huoshan Mercenary Corps without being discovered, but now, this task was a cinch for him.

The Night Demon’s Blood not only gave him an all-around physical transformation. His strength, speed, agility, endurance, and senses... all had incredible growth, and at the same time, he awakened many abilities. Even though they hadn’t been used yet, the feeling of control over darkness and shadow could not be hidden.

He had a feeling that with just a thought, he could slip into the shadow at his feet and move stealthily, without leaving a trace.

"Now it’s time to meet your members, and also, there’s someone you need to reintroduce yourself to."

Qin Tian grabbed Feng Mochuan’s shoulder, and then the Black Gate opened, and the two stepped through.

......

"Let’s stop here."

Xu Ze, the deputy leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Corps, raised his hand, took a breath, and said, "It’s safe here."

They were now in a place very close to the Elves’ front-line base. With the Dark Elves’ style, they wouldn’t delve this deep.

Everyone stopped, caught their breath, and then on each face showed sorrow and grief.

"I want revenge for the Director!"

A young man with short hair gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with hatred: "That traitor Duan Zheng, I’ll tear him to pieces."

Mentioning Duan Zheng, everyone was filled with rage.

It was he who poisoned their leader and fled just before the incident.

"You don’t need to avenge me, I’ll personally settle this score."

At that moment, a familiar voice rang in their ears.

Everyone’s body trembled, immediately following the direction of the voice.

They saw two figures appear on the branches above, one of whom was their leader Feng Mochuan, while the other was also familiar, the Death God Sniper, Qin Tian.

"Director!!!"

Everyone widened their eyes, their tone filled with surprise and disbelief.

Just now, the director wasn’t he for our sake, about to...

How come now he’s standing safe and sound in front of us.

Feng Mochuan gently leapt and landed steadily on the ground. He looked at everyone, a smile appearing on his face:

"I’m alright now. It’s Old... Qin Tian who saved me and purged the poison from my body."

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered with delight, excitedly shouting:

"That’s great, Director, we almost thought we’d lose you forever."

"Brother Qin Tian, thank you, thank you for saving our Director."

"You’re a great benefactor of our Hurricane Mercenary Corps. In the future, scaling mountains or going through fire, I, Wang Dayong, will face death unflinchingly."

"Me too!"

Hearing these sincere thanks, Qin Tian also felt the charisma of Feng Mochuan. Perhaps a person with such a personality is easily betrayed, but they also have a group of loyal brothers.

In this regard, Li Qi is completely different from Feng Mochuan.

Li Qi comes from a killer organization and would never fully trust anyone besides himself. This vigilance makes it hard for him to face betrayal, but also hard to make true friends.

However, it is precisely this difference that means the two will take on different tasks in the future.

Li Qi’s position is as head of intelligence and assassination agency

While Feng Mochuan will remain the leader of the mercenary corps and eventually develop a larger scale of private armed forces.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian turned to look for Li Qi, only to find Li Qi and Feng Mochuan locking eyes, a spark seemed to crackle where their gazes met.
