"Li Hao, watch your mouth!"

Shu Yiyao gave a soft shout, drew her Phoenix Tail Sword, and pointed it at Li Hao.

A peculiar aura emanated from the sword, and when everyone looked at Shu Yiyao's figure again, they felt a stinging pain in their senses.

"This is... the perfected sword intent!"

A glint of light flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes.

Shu Yiyao's aura gave him a special sense of familiarity.

This sense of familiarity stems from the instincts of a sword cultivator.

As expected.

The next second, a crimson sword intent appeared beside Shu Yiyao.

This sword intent, while giving people a sense of sharpness, also gives people a sense of imposing power as heavy as a mountain.

In a daze, Shu Yiyao's figure transformed into a mountain peak piercing the clouds in everyone's eyes.

The manifestation of sword intent signifies that the sword intent has reached a state of mastery.

"The Crimson Peak is like a sword, and its strike is as imposing as a mountain. The deputy commander has refined the Crimson Peak Sword Intent to its pinnacle!"

Some mercenaries from the Chifeng Mercenary Group looked at Shu Yiyao with expressions of admiration.

"I remember it took the old commander a full fifty years to master the Chifeng Sword Technique."

"That's right. The old captain mastered the Chifeng Sword Technique in fifty years, which caused a sensation in the entire mercenary world."

"I remember the deputy commander is only thirty years old, yet he possesses such talent, which means he has already broken through to that level..."

Before the mercenary could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "Shut up, don't blurt things out!"

The one who stopped him was a captain with gray hair.

His face was somber, and a hint of sadness even flickered in his eyes.

This behavior caused a strange look to appear in the eyes of Chen Tianwen, who had been observing.

Shu Yiyao mastered a sword technique at the age of thirty.

Such talent is unparalleled in the entire Yunzhou region.

In his memory, perhaps only Xia Anyu could compare.

If such a genius appeared in an ordinary organization, they would be overjoyed.

Judging from the reaction of the Chifeng Mercenary Group, they seemed unwilling to talk about it.

The more Chen Tianwen thought about it, the more he felt there was something wrong with it.

But that's their privacy, so he couldn't ask.

His gaze returned to the sky.

In the sky, Shu Yiyao condensed the Crimson Peak Sword Intent, and the overwhelming power even distorted the void.

"Li Hao, I advise you to leave, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Shu Yiyao said coldly

Both were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and with the Crimson Peak Sword Intent, Li Hao was no match for him.

But she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

The Chifeng Mercenary Group is currently in a special situation; it is not the time to go to war with the Tianlang Mercenary Group.

Faced with Shu Yiyao's threat.

A glint of disdain flashed in Li Hao's eyes as he spoke, "The Great Perfection Crimson Peak Sword Intent might have made me wary before, but now you want to use this move..."

Li Hao's voice was deep, as if the sword intent was nothing more than air in front of him.

"You're underestimating me too much!"

His voice suddenly rose, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body. Immediately afterwards, a huge wolf shadow appeared behind him.

Its body was massive and muscular, its enormous form obscuring half the sky, its golden fur gleaming in the sunlight.

His eyes were bright and piercing, gleaming with a cruel and treacherous blood-red light.

The moment the giant wolf appeared, everyone felt as if a heavy mountain was weighing on their backs.

In the face of the giant wolf, everyone felt only their own insignificance and pitifulness.

"Your primordial spirit has manifested... You've broken through to the primordial spirit realm!"

Upon seeing this, Shu Yiyao's pupils trembled, and her voice was filled with shock.

There is only a fine line between the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage.

However, their strengths are worlds apart!

During the Nascent Soul stage, cultivators rely solely on their own strength.

However, once the nascent soul transforms into the primordial spirit, it can manifest in front of others, suppressing the cultivation of enemies and using the power of heaven and earth to kill them, making it terrifyingly powerful.

Although her strength far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators thanks to the Crimson Peak Sword Intent, she was still no match for a Deity Transformation cultivator.

"You little brat, didn't you want to kill me? Come on then!"

Li Hao spoke provocatively, his voice booming across the heavens and earth.

"Nascent Soul stage! Li Hao has actually broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Now the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group will have two Nascent Soul stage experts in charge."

"That's right. Li Feng, the leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, is a top-tier expert in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. With Li Hao added to the mix, the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group is going to become very powerful."

"The Crimson Peak Mercenary Group isn't bad either. Isn't their leader a Nascent Soul cultivator? Besides, their vice-leader is already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from breaking through..."

The mercenaries who joined the Chifeng Mercenary Group were divided, debating which of the two Yunzhou overlords, Chifeng and Tianlang, was more powerful.

Unlike them, they were official mercenaries of the Chifeng Mercenary Group.

They all had furrowed brows and solemn expressions.

Several Nascent Soul stage mercenary captains and elders had already adjusted their postures, waiting for the situation to turn sour before launching their attack.

"Li Hao, don't think you can be arrogant just because you've broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. When my father arrives, he can still kill you!"

Shu Yiyao gritted her teeth, facing Li Hao's overwhelming pressure as a Nascent Soul cultivator, her sword intent remaining steadfast.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao suddenly burst into laughter: "Shu Yuntian probably doesn't have many days left to live, do you think you can scare me with him? Hahaha!"

The moment those words were spoken, the crowd erupted in chaos.

"Commander Shu is exceptionally talented. He broke through to the Nascent Soul stage at the age of sixty and is only ninety years old now. How could he possibly be nearing the end of his life?"

"The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator is a full 1,500 years. If there are longevity pills, living for 2,000 years is not a problem."

"Commander Shu has at least a thousand years left to live, how could he possibly be nearing the end of his life?"
