With a single palm strike, space and time within a hundred meters seemed to freeze, and more than a dozen figures stood frozen in place, unable to move an inch.
"Sir, spare your life!"
Some people looked terrified and begged for mercy loudly.
But Su Qing did not hesitate for a moment. With a palm strike, bodies exploded into clouds of blood mist.
These guys are too weak, so using a contract with them is not worthwhile. Keeping them around is useless, and they're too troublesome to look at, plus they could easily cause trouble.
It would be better to just kill him with one blow.
Amidst a cloud of blood mist, Chris emerged, gazing at the black dragon in the sky with a complex expression.
Su Qing looked at Chris, whose appearance had changed drastically, and her feelings were somewhat complicated.
In a short time, this guy had grown a full beard and was no longer as handsome as before. Instead, he looked rugged and tough, with rough skin and enlarged pores on his face.
This is caused by prolonged exposure to wind and sand outdoors.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Chris spoke up, saying that although it was only three months, it felt longer to him than the previous ten years or so. There was fighting almost every day, either in battle or on the run.
Because he honed his skills according to the dragon's guidance, many troubles came to him on their own.
He fought almost like a madman, his sword stained with blood so thick it was nearly impossible to fade. Only now, upon seeing the black dragon again, did he seem to awaken.
Looking back on this period of time, a sense of emotion rose in my heart, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me.
An aura erupted, centered on him and covering an area of dozens of meters in radius. A layer of blood-red flames ignited on the ground, as if it were a dense, ignited malevolent energy.
Blood Flame Profound Technique!
It contained a trace of the rules of war and fire, which Chris comprehended.
Su Qing was a little stunned. He grasped a profound truth so easily? This guy really is a genius!
However, the key to mastering profound techniques lies in one's comprehension ability. If one's comprehension ability is strong enough, one may still be able to comprehend them even without reaching the pinnacle of brilliance.
Although one cannot ascend to the highest rank overnight, once the profound mysteries are comprehended, one's combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level.
Chris's strength has made a significant leap at this moment. If he were to face the dozen or so opponents he had faced before, he wouldn't say he could easily defeat them, but he would definitely be in an invincible position.
Moreover, the benefits don't stop there. The biggest benefit is that for Chris, there is no longer a threshold to entering the title realm. He only needs to reach a certain level to step into that realm.
A look of obvious joy appeared on his face, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Su Qing's big face.
"What profound truth did you comprehend?"
Su Qing was very curious because profound meanings are related to rules, and he was qualified to comprehend them, but this did not affect his realm.
However, Su Qing was quite interested in the fact that comprehending a few of the profound mysteries would greatly benefit him.
When Chris opened his eyes, he was startled and quickly took a few steps back to calm himself before speaking: "It should be called the Blood Flame Profound Truth. It contains some of the power of war and fire rules, and its attack and destructive power are very strong!"
He explained briefly, while expressing his gratitude: "I must thank you for your guidance, Lord!"
Truly, without Su Qing's guidance, he would never have undertaken such a 100,000-mile trek, nor would he have gone through the trials and tribulations of battle to finally comprehend the profound meaning.
Su Qing is known for her thick skin, but she was a little embarrassed at this moment: "No need to thank me, it's all thanks to your own efforts. I only played a small role in it. I saw how hard you worked along the way, and I'm very satisfied with your performance!"
The awkwardness vanished quickly, and Su Qing's face broke into a smile again, looking approving.
Chris paused slightly: "You've been observing me the whole way?"
"Of course!" Su Qing replied without blushing or skipping a beat. "Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"
"This is a trial I gave you, and also because I had high hopes for you. You certainly didn't disappoint me; in the life-or-death struggle, you grasped the profound meaning!"
"Although it's only a lower-level profound technique, it's already quite good for you!"
Chris's feelings were complicated upon hearing this, with a hint of disappointment: "Did I only comprehend a lower-level profound technique?"
"Of course, you still need to keep working hard!"
Su Qing nodded, feeling a little uneasy. He had no idea what level of profound mystery Blood Flame was. Although he knew that profound mystery was divided into three levels, he didn't know how to distinguish between the different levels.
I was just saying that casually, to tell little Chris not to be complacent.
The effect was obvious; the joy on Chris's face gradually faded, and he nodded to Su Qing: "Thank you, Lord!"
Su Qing shook his head at him: "From now on, don't call me Lord, call me Alliance Leader. From now on, you are my assistant."
Su Qing briefly recounted the events surrounding the Dragon Alliance.
Chris responded with silence. Didn't you say before that you've always been protecting me? Is it really okay to expose yourself now?
Give me back my gratitude! You bastard!
Su Qing was completely unaware of the flaws in her words, or rather, even if she was aware, she didn't care.
They flew back to the castle with Chris, and it was already noon.
After lunch, Su Qing made a trip to Hope City to take care of the caravan transit station.
A large number of magic-powered cannons and some magic-powered trains have been transported here and are expected to arrive in a while.
Su Qing considered the price for a moment. Since she had already told them about the discount, she couldn't go back on her word.
In the end, he decided to offer a 12% discount and then ask for some brokerage fees to make up for the loss.
These guys have money anyway.
However, we'll discuss those matters later. Right now, the most important thing is tomorrow's operation regarding the Purple Fire Mercenary Group.
Su Qing left the city lord's mansion and walked on the street. Dressed in a black robe, he did not attract much attention.
Finally, they entered a small tavern.
"What would you like, esteemed guest?"
A handsome servant stepped forward with a professional smile.
Su Qing glanced at him and thought, "He's really handsome, he's a tenth as good-looking as me."
"A Bloody Mary!"
Su Qing spoke.
The waiter's smile remained unchanged: "I'm sorry, we're out of that kind of wine. I recommend Sam's."
Does it taste the same?
"Very similar!"
"Then let's have a drink!"
"Please come in, I'll take you to the private room!"
Su Qing followed the attendant to the private room.
"Please wait a moment, your wine will be here soon!"
After the servant left, Su Qing waited quietly, but before long, a figure walked in carrying a glass of wine.
It was no longer the servant from before, but a balding old man who bowed respectfully upon seeing Su Qing: "Greetings, Your Excellency!"
