Yue Shan, who was dueling with Zhang Dafa, was growing increasingly alard as the fight went on.
How could this be, a lowly rcenary actually able to exchange so many moves with him?
Yet, Yue Shan’s strength still held a slight edge, and the Mid-grade Heavenly Weapon in his hand was incredibly sharp.
Then, a snapping sound was heard, the weapon in Zhang Dafa’s hand couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore and broke.
Zhang Dafa was forced to retreat several steps, barely managing to stabilize himself.
"Zhang Dafa, your strength is indeed not bad. As long as you leave the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, hand over the stolen Heavenly Iron, and join my Qinghe Inn, I can spare your life."
Yue Shan’s expression was haughty.
Zhang Dafa scoffed coldly but gave no reply.
He took out a water bag from his bosom; when Feng Bailing had him leave Qinghe City, he had given him a water bag, saying the wine inside could help him defeat Yue Shan.
Zhang Dafa took a sip of wine, and suddenly, he had a hidden weapon dagger in his hand that Feng Bailing had obtained from Golden Pass.
With the dagger in hand, he flashed and attacked once again.
Yue Shan cursed.
"Foolish and ungrateful."
He swung his Mid-grade Heavenly Weapon without a second thought.
Yue Shan’s Mid-grade Heavenly Weapon clashed with the dagger in Zhang Dafa’s hand, and without even a furrow of his brow, he didn’t take Zhang Dafa’s weapon seriously at all.
The dagger was only the size of a palm, looking like sothing a woman would carry for self-defense, seemingly flimsy.
Yet it was this dagger, when it t Yue Shan’s Mid-grade Heavenly Weapon, that emitted a sharp crack, and a crack appeared on the nearly invincible Mid-grade Heavenly Weapon.
Yue Shan felt an overwhelming force surging at him, and Zhang Dafa’s strength had actually surged significantly compared to earlier.
"Yue Shan, ti to et your fate."
As Yue Shan was in shock, Zhang Dafa bellowed, and his dagger swept across Yue Shan’s neck like reaping leeks.
With a hiss, a bloody gash appeared.
In the next mont, a steaming head rolled onto the ground.
At the gates of Qinghe City, the crowd inhaled sharply in unison.
Then, suffocating silence ensued.
Changsun Rou’s face turned pale; she’d never imagined that Yue Shan could be killed by the obscure Zhang Dafa.
Zhang Dafa’s hand was also trembling slightly as a powerful force spread within him, the formidable power of the Rainbow Five Treasures Brew.
Feng San hadn’t lied to him!
He truly had his revenge!
With just a sip of the brew, he could vie with Yue Shan for his life.
Zhang Dafa was sowhat incredulous at first, but the reality had proven everything.
Following the deathly silence, Feng Luochen, Hong Xuan, and Dongfang Yong were the first ones to react, cheering.
"We won, Brother Zhang, you actually killed Yue Shan!"
The trio rushed towards Zhang Dafa.
Zhang Dafa had actually killed Yue Shan, the King of Soldiers of Qinghe City; everyone found it hard to believe.
Seeing the scene before them, the expressions of those present were all different.
Li Mubei stepped forward and gave Zhang Dafa a salute.
"Brother Zhang, you are quite strong to have killed the King of Soldiers of Qinghe City. According to the rules of the rcenary World, you are now the new King of Soldiers of Qinghe City."
The unruly vitality emanating from Zhang Dafa and the bloody dagger in his hand greatly stimulated the rcenaries present.
At the city gates, the group of rcenaries were also dumbfounded, exchanging glances, unsure of what to do next.
"Brother Li, well said. Congratulations, Soldier King Zhang."
Dugu Wu, with his indifferent expression, also spoke up.
In the rcenary world, the victor is king, a tiless truth.
With the formidable Ninth Prince Dugu Wu speaking, where would the rcenaries dare to resist?
A crowd of rcenaries knelt down, paying respects to the new Soldier King Zhang Dafa.
"Greetings, Soldier King Zhang!"
This title of Soldier King Zhang sent shockwaves throughout the crowd.
The city’s populace also echoed in unison.
"Greetings, Soldier King Zhang!"
In an unexpected turn of events, Zhang Dafa beca the new Soldier King of Qinghe City.
After Zhang Dafa ascended as the new Soldier King, the Red Scorpions, led by Xiao Hong, also withdrew from Qinghe City.
Qinghe City once again regained its forr tranquility.
Seeing the tide had turned, Changsun Rou’s complexion turned sour, as she intended to slip away quietly.
"Hold on."
It was then that Zhang Dafa roared angrily.
Zhang Dafa strode towards Changsun Rou, and Elder Liu, who had hurriedly arrived beside her, paled with fear, no longer possessing his earlier arrogant deanor.
He had never thought highly of Zhang Dafa, but it was this sa Zhang Dafa who not long ago had decapitated the head of Soldier King Yue Shan with a slash. Looking at the murderous weapon in his hand that could even sever a Mid-grade Heavenly Weapon, who would dare to resist?
Changsun Rou, steeling her resolve, forced a smile.
"Soldier King Zhang, I have caused offense previously, please forgive ."
Previously, Changsun Rou had insisted that the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce stole the Heavenly Iron from the Underworld Market, but now she dared not hold that belief.
After all, the Divine weapon in Zhang Dafa’s hand was extrely sharp, clearly much stronger than the Heavenly Iron. If Zhang Dafa had such a Divine Weapon, why would he and Phoenix Chamber of Comrce covet the Heavenly Iron from Underworld Market?
This also left Changsun Rou more perplexed as to where the Heavenly Iron from the Heavenly Stone had gone.
"Miss Changsun, about the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce matter..."
Before Zhang Dafa could finish, Changsun Rou hastily interjected.
"It was all a misunderstanding, I was misled by slander before."
Changsun Rou’s eyes darted back and forth, then she dragged Elder Liu to her side, pointing at him and berating loudly.
"It’s all his fault, he bungled his duties and lost the Heavenly Iron, then shifted the bla to the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce. I too, made the mistake of listening to his words. Not only that, he also secretly swapped the Purple Ginseng and Monkey Wine."
Elder Liu, standing by, quivered in the knees and with a thud, knelt to the ground.
"Miss, I didn’t..."
"How dare you argue!"
Changsun Rou’s eyes grew fierce, and with a palm strike she hit Elder Liu’s top of the skull.
Elder Liu cried out in pain, losing his life.
Changsun Rou knew that with Yue Shan gone, her backing was lost.
Her father Zhangsun Sheng had not yet erged, and with Zhang Dafa’s aggressive approach—he even dared to kill Yue Shan—it was likely he would kill her on a whim; Xiao Junci and the couple Dongfang Yu were not benevolent people either. Without Yue Shan’s support, she would surely suffer.
For the mont, she played the part of being compliant. Elder Liu beca her scapegoat, and Changsun Rou pinned all the bla on him in one breath.
"I have already killed this treacherous servant. It’s all his fault that he has offended you. To compensate for your losses, Underworld Market is willing to provide compensation."
In the end, Changsun Rou had no choice but to compensate Xiao Junci and the couple Dongfang Yu with five tis the indemnity. As for the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, she compensated them with ten tis the amount, and due to insufficient silver taels, she also gave up Qinghe City’s shops and the remainder of Underworld Market’s goods.
Only then did Changsun Rou extricate herself. She didn’t dare to stay and left Qinghe City alone, dejectedly.
"Congratulations to Soldier King Zhang."
Seeing Phoenix Chamber of Comrce and Zhang Dafa achieve a resounding victory, leaders of the other Ten Countries’ Representative Teams then ca forward to offer their congratulations.
Who the Soldier King was didn’t matter to them; they were more interested in the promises Zhang Dafa had made earlier.
"Thank you all. What Zhang has promised, will surely be fulfilled."
"That Red Scorpion Queen will be delivered to the Qinghe City Soldier Inn this afternoon."
In the crowd, Zhang Dafa looked around and, after locking eyes with Feng Bailing, he then said in a grave tone.
