Chapter 2428: Battle On The Road

Upon seeing this, Xu Yan took a deep look at the child beside him. He paused for a moment, then he said: “Thank you.” Having said that, he split the meat wrapped in oil paper between everyone to share.

After Feng Ye had eaten, he fell asleep next to Zhao Yang by the fire. It wasn’t long before he fell into a deep sleep. Compared to Feng Ye’s ease, Zhao Yang sat with his feet crossed and his waist straight and rested with his eyes closed.

The mercenaries looked at the two children with curiosity in their eyes. Along the way, both children have surprised them. The little one was innocent and naive while the older one acted like a guard. Even though they were guarding them, he was always by his little Master’s side and never slackened once.

They were curious, what kind of family could train such a young and responsible bodyguard?

After a peaceful night, everyone continued on the road on flying swords early the next morning. However, when they passed by a mountain, they were forced down by a group of loose cultivators.

“Hand over all your money!” The group of loose cultivators shouted and stared at the people of the Thunderfire Mercenary Group gloomily.

Xu Yan put the two children behind him and had his team protect them while he stepped forward: “We are only passing through, why do you have to make things difficult for us?”

“Hahahahaha! We want to make things difficult for you, what can you do about it? If you know what’s good for you, you will take out all your valuable items. Otherwise, you will pay with your life!” The leader of the loose cultivator laughed loudly and clamoured for battle because they had more people on their side.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yan gestured behind him with one hand, and in the next moment, he rushed forward with the pressure and fierce momentum of the Nascent Soul with his sword raised, like a tiger pouncing forwards for food.

A cold light reflected in the early sunlight followed by a loud scream and fresh blood spilled onto the ground.

The loose cultivators panicked at the sudden attack, and they were even more flustered especially when the other party had slashed and killed one of their loose cultivators as soon as he had attacked. The leader of the loose cultivator shouted: “Don’t panic! Kill them and take their belongings! Attack with me!”

Twenty or so loose cultivators shouted and rushed forward with sharp knives in their hands and murderous auras exuding from their bodies filled the air.

“Protect the two children!”

Xu Yan gave the order and four mercenaries stood by Feng Ye and Zhao Yang’s side. They positioned them in the middle of them and protected them, they prevented the loose cultivators from hurting them.

In the past, when they went out on missions, some of their employers didn’t treat them like people. They ordered them about like servants and when their lives were in danger, they pushed them forward with total disregard for their lives.

However, although these two children were young, their hearts were pure. Even if they hadn’t taken their commission, they would still protect them. Not to mention that the two of them had paid them so much commission.

Therefore, even if they lost their lives, they would still try their best to protect them!

Feng Ye blinked and looked at the surrounding swords, the lights and shadows reflecting. He watched the sword qi as it whistled around, but there was no fear in his eyes, only calmness that was different to ordinary children.

Zhao Yang, who was beside him, held a dagger behind his back and watched his surroundings vigilantly…
