Chapter 2429: Devilry Cultivators Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations He didn’t care about anyone else’s life or death, he only knew that protecting Feng Ye was what he had to do. However, although the Thunderfire Mercenary Group were only second-class mercenaries, their combat effectiveness was beyond his expectations. He watched the loose cultivators as they fell to the ground one by one. Although the Thunderfire Mercenary Group had less men, they had the upper hand. His indifferent eyes couldn’t help but flicker. It seemed that the combat effectiveness of the mercenary team chosen by his little Master had already reached the combat effectiveness of a first-class mercenary. There shouldn’t be any major problems facing these people. As expected, as more time passed, the number of loose cultivators became less and less, and precisely because of this, they became more flustered. In the end, the leader of the loose cultivators ran away cursing: “Damn it! A dozen people beat more than twenty people and they had the upper hand? I’m not fighting anymore! Hurry up and withdraw!” The remaining loose cultivators retreated at the order of their leader, not daring to stay. The people of the Thunderfire Mercenary Group were so well-trained. They stopped chasing them as soon as they saw that they had retreated. Instead, they assembled the team and counted the number of people who were injured. “Captain, none of us died, but eight are injured, one of whom is seriously injured.” One of the mercenaries stepped forward and reported. “Clean up the battlefield and move places!” Xu Yan ordered in a deep voice for the mercenaries to clean up the battlefield and take the dead loose cultivators valuables, then quickly move the people to a safe place before everyone could stop and bandage their wounds. “Your combat power is very strong.” Feng Ye sat on the side and looked at the injured bandaging their wounds. Upon hearing this, the mercenaries chuckled: “You can tell that we are strong?” “Of course I can tell! It’s just, why are you second-class mercenaries?” Feng Ye nodded and said. He wasn’t stupid so why wouldn’t he be able to tell? “Because the people above are suppressing us and won’t give us a first-class rating, so we can only be second-class.” One of the mercenaries smiled and said: “Second-class mercenaries receive fewer missions and the commissions aren’t much either. This mission we have received from you is the best mission we have received this year.” Feng Ye blinked as if he didn’t understand but didn’t quite understand at the same time: “No wonder you all eat the plain pancake.” The mercenaries laughed when they heard this. Although they were injured, no one took their injuries seriously. After all, they depended on this industry for food, and injuries were a common occurrence in this line of work. On the contrary, because they became more acquainted with the two children, they got along better and were more easy-going. However, everyone’s relaxed and happy atmosphere disappeared when they saw Xu Yan’s body had tensed up and he stood up instantly. Upon seeing their Captain’s vigilance, the mercenaries took precautions quickly. At almost the same time, Zhao Yang guarded Feng Ye vigilantly while Feng Ye stood up and looked around. “Hehehe, I never expected a team of mere mercenaries would be so vigilant.” 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 The mercenaries’ hearts sank when they heard the sound of a low laughter. It was because the coercion that was contained in that laughter was above everyone, which meant that the strength of this unknown person was higher than theirs. This was really not a good thing for them, especially at this time when they had just been in a battle and their physical strength hadn’t recovered. “Devilry cultivator!” Xu Yan stared at the front and looked at the group of devilry cultivators who were coming towards them. His eyes fell on the leader of the devilry cultivators with seriousness and vigilance, and thought quickly in his heart. Devilry cultivator? Feng Ye was startled and he followed Xu Yan’s gaze involuntarily.
