Chapter 254 So We Know Each Other, It's a Banquet!
"Hahaha! Pretty arrogant, but since you want to attack our Dragon Shield Mercenary Group, you'll have to pay the price. Get ready to take my blow!"
Without saying a word, Qian Gu Panlong raised his Panlong Staff and smashed it down without any fancy moves.
"First Soul Skill, Panlong Strike!"
A dragon shadow appeared in front of Xuan Mo, and the air suddenly shattered like a mirror.
Sensing the powerful force from the Panlong Staff, Xuan Mo didn't choose to dodge. Instead, as the staff approached, he instantly completed his Martial Soul Possession, and his first Soul Ring lit up. He threw a punch directly at the incoming staff.
"Boom!"
The intense energy from the collision of the two attacks directly blew away the surrounding sand and weeds. Even the members of the Dragon Shield Mercenary Group were blinded by the sand and dust stirred up by the energy, and for a moment, they couldn't see what was happening.
"He actually blocked the leader's first soul skill!"
"Not bad. Soul King level, and not low at that."
After the energy dissipated, Xuan Mo's right hand had blocked the dragon shadow of the Panlong Staff that Qian Gu Panlong had smashed down, but his feet were also stuck in the ground due to the powerful force transmitted from the dragon shadow.
"If that's all the strength you have, you're not qualified to talk to me like that!"
Qian Gu Panlong shouted, slamming the Panlong Staff into the ground, and stared at Xuan Mo. A powerful fighting spirit and killing intent erupted from both of them at the same time. However, in this clash of auras, there was no killing intent.
"Come and let me see your skills!"
Qian Gu Panlong swung the Panlong Staff and charged towards Xuan Mo, carrying an indomitable and domineering aura all the way.
Xuan Mo was about to make a move when he saw this.
But at this moment, "Xuanming Replacement."
After a figure replaced a mercenary next to him, he appeared in front of everyone. At this moment, Xuan Mo saw the current situation and immediately chose to stop and stand aside.
Xu Lei, standing in front of the Ancient Coiled Dragon, remained calm despite the incoming dragon-shaped staff. He slightly stepped back with his left foot, crouched slightly, and held the heavy shield in his right hand in front of him, completely protecting himself.
At the same time, Xu Lei's dark soul power surged from the Xuanming Shield, faintly forming a black light shield that steadily protected his body.
"Boom—"
The Ancient Coiled Dragon's staff slammed heavily into the thick black Xuanming Shield, and both men's bodies shook simultaneously.
The Ancient Coiled Dragon's tiger's mouth went numb, almost cracking open. Xu Lei's body slid back half a meter.
Seeing this, all the mercenary group members were shocked. Their second-in-command had actually saved a complete stranger, and the two commanders had even fought over him.
"What...what's going on?"
"Why are the leaders fighting amongst themselves?"
"Could it be that guy's doing?"
The members of the Dragon Shield Mercenary Group, while talking, all turned their gazes to Xuan Mo, who was watching the scene unfold, their eyes filled with hostility, leaving Xuan Mo speechless.
At this moment, the two leaders' attention was not on that at all. Qian Gu Panlong, in particular, looked at Xu Lei, who had just blocked his attack, with a reproachful expression.
"Hey, Lao Xu, why did you stop me?"
"Why?"
Xu Lei retorted, "What do you think? Oh, a few friends haven't seen each other for years, everyone sits down and has a good talk. Who else would do what you did, without saying a word, just grabbing a stick and starting a fight?"
"Haha, I got a little too excited."
Qian Gu Panlong laughed, completely ignoring Xu Lei's tone.
Then, under everyone's surprised gazes, he put away his martial spirit and grinned foolishly a few times.
Then he quickly stepped forward, bypassed Xu Lei, and came to Xuan Mo's side, hugging him tightly and patting his shoulder heavily. This time, his voice was full of excitement and joy.
"Brother Mo, what brings you here? It's been years since the three of us last met."
Xuan Mo felt the strength in Qian Gu Panlong's hand, which was even stronger than his own, and could only pat his shoulder lightly with his palm.
"Brother Qian Gu, you almost choked me to death."
Qian Gu Panlong laughed as he released Xuan Mo, patted his shoulder, and scanned him. "You've already reached the Soul King level, you damn brat, you're really something! You've leveled up twenty times in almost three years, have you been on drugs?"
Xuan Mo looked at Qian Gu Panlong's joking face and responded with a slightly embarrassed smile. "Brother Qian Gu and Brother San Shi aren't bad either. Reaching this level at the age of twenty-six, your soul power cultivation must be close to level sixty, and you'll be breaking through to Soul Emperor soon, right?"
"Hahaha! You need to learn to be modest. I am indeed level fifty-nine now, but that guy Lao Xu is one level lower than me."
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, Qian Gu Panlong immediately became smug and winked at Xu Lei, who was explaining to the mercenary group. "Let me tell you, that guy is definitely no match for me."
"Hehe, let's talk about breaking my defense first."
Xu Lei was too lazy to argue with Qian Gu Panlong. He stepped forward and looked around.
"Brother Mo, are you alone this time? What, didn't Little Fatty come with you this time?"
When Xu Lei asked about Ma Hongjun, Xuan Mo told them about the five-year agreement. "Fatty and I both participated in the Soul Master Competition. After the competition, Fatty and I parted ways..."
It turned out that during the year Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun traveled, they met Qian Gu Panlong and Xu Lei in the Heaven Dou Empire and became sworn brothers.
For example, they helped Xuan Mo hunt down his third soul ring.
During their acquaintance, Xuan Mo also learned that their goal was to create the number one mercenary guild in the world.
"Enough about me. You two brothers, aren't you in the Heaven Dou Empire? Judging from your entourage, you must have moved to the Star Luo Empire to operate." "Hey, the people of the Star Luo Empire are known for their fierceness, so after some discussion, we moved our mercenary group here."
Just as Xu Lei managed a smile, Qian Gu Panlong, who had been sitting next to him, couldn't contain his "loneliness" and slowly stood up.
Then, sensing something was wrong, Xu Lei yelled at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, to celebrate Brother Mo's arrival, let's have a feast!"
"Qian Gu! We're in the wild now!"
"Then no drinking. Brothers, get the meat!"
"That's not what I meant, stop it..."
"Old Xu, don't be such a spoilsport. A few brothers, please go and keep watch..."
Finally, amidst the leader's clamor, a chaotic and rather shabby feast unfolded in a dense forest in the far south...
