On the mercenary group's side, the young man in black robe saw the leading snakeman rushing towards Gu Fengchen, so he gritted his teeth and injected his fighting spirit into the spear in his hand, which made a series of crisp buzzing sounds and shot towards the back of the snakeman leader.

The leader of the snake mercenary group also felt the strong wind coming from behind him. His muscles tensed instantly, and when the spear was about to reach his back, he dodged to the left. The spear, which was shot with unparalleled momentum, just brushed past the leader's body and went straight into the ground. The tail of the spear vibrated everywhere due to inertia.

After the leading snake man dodged the attack of the young man in black robe, he immediately let out a hideous laugh at Gu Fengchen in front of him.

Now, all he had to do was kill the human in front of him and he could leave this damn place.

The snake mercenary held a long knife in his hand, bared his teeth at Gu Fengchen, revealed a fierce smile, raised the long knife in his hand high, and swung it at Gu Fengchen from top to bottom.

When the mercenaries saw the long knife about to fall on Gu Fengchen's scalp, they turned their heads away and dared not look directly at the scene.

The next moment, everything fell into silence and quiet, as if everything was over.

All the mercenaries opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the scene before them; they looked at each other, seeing shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

"What, what's going on?"

"You, did you see it?"

In silence, everyone looked towards the field.

At this time, Gu Fengchen, who should have been a cold corpse, was still standing there calmly as before, as if he had not moved.

The leading snake man who was so powerful just now was cut in half by Gu Fengchen with the [Red Plum Sword], and countless blood flowed in the sand.

The smell of blood hit them. The black-robed youth and the moon-robed youth stopped at the same time, looking at Gu Fengchen with strange and solemn eyes.

Gu Fengchen's expression remained extremely calm. He put away his sword and looked at the mercenaries who were approaching.

Gu Fengchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two young men in front of him.

The two young men looked at Gu Fengchen and asked, "Thank you, little brother, for killing this snake man here. Otherwise, if he escaped, I don't know how much trouble it would bring us."

Being able to kill the leading snake man at the nine-star fighting master level so easily was enough to prove that the young man in front of him, who looked handsome, must have the strength of a great fighting master.

Perhaps he is a disciple from a big family in the empire, sent here to train, or perhaps he is here for some other reason.

No matter who the other party is, this world is a world where the strong are respected. If his strength is strong enough, it is enough for them to respect him.

No matter what, he didn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

The young man in black robe looked at Gu Fengchen, took a step forward, bowed to Gu Fengchen and said, "My dear brother, I am Xiao Li, the deputy captain of the Desert Iron Mercenary Team in Shimo City. We just encountered a group of snakemen here. We fought with them and killed them, but the leader of the snakemen almost ran away. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the leader of the snakemen would have run away. Don't worry, we will give you every penny of the bounty for the snakeman leader."

Gu Fengchen basically blocked out the rest of the words of the young man in black robe, especially the first sentence of the other party, which caused a huge storm in Gu Fengchen's heart.

Xiao Li, I didn't expect to run into Xiao Li! !
