Lan Lan confirmed that both sides were ready before she shouted, "Eleventh Sub-Field, B-Rank Mercenary Squad Assessment, begin!"
The moment Lan Lan's words ended, the summoner of Sacred Armor immediately summoned his summoned beast.
It was an inconspicuous, low-ranked Hidden Dog, which meant that Sacred Armor had also indiscriminately found a summoner to fill their ranks.
They knew in their heads that they were no match for Black Guardian, but they couldn't just give up in this hard-earned mercenary assessment. The two magicians immediately began to chant, while the only Great Martial Artist in the team cautiously protected the magicians.
Unfortunately, the formation of one warrior and two magicians, could obviously not hold at the onslaught of three against one.
On the contrary, Black Guardian, with two warriors, one magician and one summoner, were able to protect their chanting members just fine.
"Go!" The four Hei Brothers, however, didn't put Sacred Armor in their eyes at all, the summoner and magician didn't even try to conjure spells or summon their beast. They were all physically strong and flocked together, just like four sharp arrows, and instantly tore through the defense of the lone Great Martial Artist of Sacred Armor.
Hei Da and Hei Er's muscles swelled, their douqi erupted like a volcano. They used their combat techniques at the same time.
Hei Da's body flew up. Under the effects of his douqi, he jumped even higher. Without using his weapon, he crashed into the Great Martial Artist's head with his shoulder and blood spurted everywhere.
Hei Er also showed no weakness. Facing the earth spikes attack of Sacred Armor's magician, he purely relied on his body's defense and a heavy fist smashed right through the magician's wind wall. The punch didn't come to a halt until it had reached the magician's gut. With the sound of bones cracking, the magician's chest carved in and his body went limp, lying quietly on the ground.
Seeing this, the remaining magician and summoner no longer had any desire to fight, they immediately started to shout: "We forfeit, no more!"
Lan Lan had just raised her magic scepter, about to stop this match, when she realized that Hei San had already waved his magic scepter. After two rumbles, purple lights flashed through the air like snakes, and struck the summoner's head.
The summoner's skull split in half, brain matter spilling out.
"Stop!" Lan Lan's face went white at this, and a green glow shot out from the magic scepter in her hand.
A wind rope flew out and coiled around the horrified members of Sacred Armor, immediately sending them off the arena.
"Black Guardian, you must not bully others too much. The other side had already begged for mercy and you still keep going. If you disobey the arena's rules again, you will face the penalty of suspension and a high fine, or even worse, be placed on the blacklist!" Lan Lan's pretty face was flushed red with anger. She was a wind magician, her speed was much better than the average magician's, but she was still unable to prevent Hei San from killing more people. She was enraged by Black Guardian's cruelty.
The Mercenary Assessment was just like any other competition, once a winner was determined, the match would end.
The spectating mercenaries of Great Zhou Empire quieted down.
This duel, could only be described as a public execution. It wasn't a fight anymore.
Although Black Guardian's techniques were ruthless, the impact it caused was undeniable.
Sacred Armor, as a team that possessed the qualification to participate in a B-rank mercenary assessment, was crushed just like that.
The remaining magician had also long since been frightened shitless. It was unknown if he would ever step on the arena's ground again.
Black Guardian's fierce reputation, even in the B-rank assessment field, did not dissipate at all, leaving a shadow in the hearts of some of the other C-rank mercenary squads present.
"Then let's leave it at that for today, on behalf of Magister Lan Lan," Hei Da flicked his hand, making it look like he did Lan Lan a personal favor.
The four of them jumped down from the sub-field, and Hei Da aimed a malicious smile at the summoned Hidden Dog that was trembling in the corner of the arena.
He shaped his five fingers into a claw, grabbing the Hidden Dog with the help of his douqi. The Hidden Dog was just a low-rank beast, when being entangled with a Martial Master's douqi, it was completely unable to resist.
Hei Da shattered the skull of the Hidden Dog and cruelly flung it towards the spectating stand, in the direction of Yun Sheng and the others.
Lan Lan had said no further killing of their opponents, but she didn't say they couldn't kill summoned beasts, so, Hei Da took this opportunity to anger Phoenix.
"This is too much!" Mu Nan Yan stood up abruptly.
"Hoo-" a shadow flashed, and the Hidden Dog, that was at its last breath, was snatched away.
A small black dog with shiny fur had snatched the Hidden Dog.
Heaven Swallowing Mastiff, the king of Wu Ji Continent's wolf and dog beasts.
Although Xiao Hei was still young, its furious glowing eyes already held the air of a king.
Head held high, its hatred filled pair of golden eyes focused on Hei Da, circling him with a majestic stride.
After he had witnessed a Hidden Dog of the same canine bloodline being severely wounded by that black-armored mercenary, the beast blood in Xiao Hei's body boiled and he was unable to calm down.
"Another lowly canine beast. Whose summoned beast is it? If you don't come out and claim it, don't blame me for killing another one," Hei Da was dissatisfied, he thought that he would be able to anger the people of Phoenix enough to make them come down.
Black Guardian's match had ended, and Phoenix's had yet to start.
If they fought privately now, Phoenix would likely be directly disqualified.
Even if they weren't disqualified, if they consumed their magic power, it would certainly have a bad effect on their following match.
But unexpectedly some random summoned beast rushed out halfway through.
Even though he couldn't determine the rank of the small dog in front of him, looking at his agility just now, it must be a summoned beast.
And to be able to let the summoned beast stay out of the magic space for so long, a lot of magic power was required. The respective summoner must be quite good.
"Xiao Hei, come back," surprisingly, just as Black Guardian's members were having bad thoughts the loli summoner, who had been sitting on Feng Kuo's shoulder, leaped down from the spectators stands. Her form was petite, but her control was good, landing quietly.
Seeing Yun Sheng go down, the three members of Phoenix followed suit.
Xiao Hei looked at Yun Sheng, and despite some reluctance, he picked up the Hidden Dog in his mouth and walked back to Yun Sheng's side.
It was her!
This beast that looked like it had great potential was actually the six or seven-year-old loli summoner's summoned beast.
The members of Phoenix knew that Yun Sheng was also a doctor, so she probably wanted to save this Hidden Dog.
Yun Sheng took the Hidden Dog from Xiao Hei's mouth, and a shadow flashed through her eyes.
Yun Sheng sighed softly and placed her hands on the Hidden Dog's neck.
T/N: Oooooh, Elves! There are other humanoid races except for humans in a cultivation novel, that's really refreshing! I'm so looking forward to an arc about them!
And, could Yun Sheng's mother be related to the Elves? Maybe that's the familiar feeling?
