Chapter 650 Scram
Chu Xun walked out of the inn after eating and drinking. He planned to go to the Canyang Mercenary Guild. Since its people dared to talk big, they must have some skills. He hoped that they would not disappoint him.
The Canyang Mercenary Guild was in the largest building here, very eye-catching.
The warriors here were obviously different from those of other places. First of all, they had a fierce aura. On his way here, he saw no less than three fierce battles.
He came to the lobby of the mercenary guild, which covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters and could accommodate tens of thousands of people. There was a 1.5-meter task platform near inside. Its layout was similar to that of a bank on the earth, but it didn’t have glass.
In the center of the lobby, there was an image stone of more than ten meters high and ten meters wide. Chu Xun was a little envious. This image stone was made of a magic stone. It showed the released tasks.
Although Chu Xun wanted it, he could not really tear down the image stone and take it away. The background of the mercenary guild was unclear, so he could not act rashly.
“Sooner or later, I’ll tear you down and move you away,” Chu Xun muttered. His tone sounded unwilling, and his expression was a little helpless.
There wasn’t just a single poster on the platform, and there were ten. Every one of them was in the Earth Immortal Realm, showing how powerful the mercenary guild was.
If you wanted to complete a task, you could go to the platform to receive the task token. After completing the task, you could hand in the task token to end the task.
The tasks were also divided into different levels, and there were ranking lists in terms of different aspects, including task completion rate.
The released tasks were divided into A, B, C, D, and S.
Chu Xun glanced at the top name on the S-level task list. His name was Shi Mo, and his victories record was on it. The most outstanding victory was that he killed a master at the intermediate stage of the Gold Immortal Realm.
How amazing he was. Chu Xun couldn’t help praising. The first person in the S-level must be powerful.
Chu Xun didn’t see other lists at all. He came here to release tasks and be a boss.
Chu Xun walked toward the platform. There were too many people, so he could only line up. There were probably about a dozen people in front of him. A thin man stood in front of him with strong cultivation. He was an expert in the Earth Immortal Realm.
“Scram!” A furious shout sounded like a thunderclap.
A robust man, over two meters tall, in beast skin clothes, had a rough appearance and a formidable aura. He was actually at the Great Completion of the Earth Immortal Realm, and he’d cultivated a Hard Cross Technique. He was almost invincible among the people in the same cultivation realm, and he was difficult to deal with.
The first one of the line was a hot woman with golden hair and light armor. She was beautiful. When she heard the strong man’s angry shout, two daggers suddenly appeared in her hands. She didn’t even look at the strong man and thrust at him.
The strong man roared angrily, and his aura surged wildly. His skin turned golden. When the daggers cut on his body, the sound of metal colliding could be heard, leaving only two white marks on his body.
“Little bitch, how dare you fight with your master Pu Tuo? Go back and warm my bed for me.” The strong man smiled grimly, revealing his white teeth. His fist, as big as a bowl, punched toward the woman’s chest without any mercy.
The woman snorted coldly and jumped up gently. She kicked out and collided with the fist of the strong man. With a boom, a violent force overflew. It sent several people who originally lined up behind the woman flying.
The woman’s cultivation was no less than the muscular man’s. After the attack, she did not retreat but advanced. The two daggers in her hands whistled as they stabbed towards the muscular man’s eyes.
The strong man suddenly closed his eyes. The two daggers stabbed into the strong man’s eyelids. With two clangs, they failed to penetrate the strong man’s eyelids. The strong man suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the woman’s wrist with his two big hands. The woman reacted quickly. She exerted force under her feet and flew backward. At the same time, a dagger left her hand and went straight between the strong man’s legs.
“She’s ruthless enough,” Chu Xun commented.
The strong man stamped his foot, and the slate under his feet exploded. His violent force sent the dagger flying.
“You malicious widow, I didn’t expect you to be so coquettish,” the strong man shouted.
The woman snorted coldly, turned into a faint shadow, and rushed to the strong man. She swam around the strong man like a ghost quickly. In the blink of an eye, the daggers in her hand stabbed the strong man hundreds of times with clangs.
The strong man’s Hard Cross Technique was indeed strong, but his weakness was his speed. The woman grasped his weakness and kept attacking, but it was difficult to hurt him.
The strong man was clumsy, but his body was strong. If the woman kept consuming her energy like this, she would lose sooner or later.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying blast of Internal Breath burst out around the strong man and directly knocked the woman backward. The woman slowed down by stabbing the ground with her dagger. When she stopped, a hole of dozens of meters long appeared on the bluestone floor. The sharp blade made it. It seemed that the dagger in her hand was not ordinary.
The battle did not attract Chu Xun’s eyes. He shook his head in boredom and found all the people in front of him watching the battle. The posters were free now, so he stepped forward and knocked on the platform.
An expert in the Earth Immortal Realm in charge of releasing tasks looked at Chu Xun with an emotionless expression and asked, “Which task do you want?”
Chu Xun shook his head. “I’m here to release a task.”
The other party was slightly stunned and then nodded with no expression on his face. “You know the rules, don’t you? If we accomplish your task, we charge 20% of the task price.”
Chu Xun nodded. After getting the items, he was willing to pay any price, let alone 20% of the task price.
“What’s your task?”
Chu Xun handed him a pre-prepared order.
The man opened it and read casually, “Golden Phoenix Meat, Golden Lion Longan, Silver Jade Immortal Leaf…”
When he read up to the third one, he stopped. He glanced down and was shocked. These were all rare great medicinal herbs.
“Are you sure this is your task?” He asked uncertainly.
Chu Xun nodded slightly and asked, “Do you have any problem?”
“No problem. Please wait for a moment!” Then, the man left in a hurry.
Chu Xun was shocked by his answer. Was it really okay? He had found five materials of the Life Extension Elixir. Seven materials that he hadn’t found were all on the list.
Chu Xun was a little excited. If the Canyang Mercenary Guild really had these rare materials, he would get them at all costs.
Chu Xun calmed himself down and waited quietly.
“Toyboy, how dare you line up here?” An explosive shout rang out. It was the muscular man. His battle with the woman had ended in a draw.
The woman crossed her arms and stood in the distance, watching the show. She was about to scold Chu Xun, but the strong man spoke first.
There were too many people in the lobby. Just now, the battle between the two attracted a lot of people. When the battle ended, they thought that they couldn’t be lookers-on anymore, but they didn’t expect that they could watch the fun again. All of them gloated.
The people that originally stood in front of Chu Xun laughed more evilly. Before the man and the woman battled it out, they did not dare to take the task, but Chu Xun had taken the chance first. They were unhappy for a long time. Seeing that the strong man was making trouble with Chu Xun, they gloated.
Chu Xun looked calm, but he was actually anxious in his heart. It was about the Life Extension Elixir and the lives of his parents, so he was patiently waiting.
Hearing that man’s roar, he frowned slightly and icily shouted, “Scram!”
