Chapter 1314: Chapter 125 Accepting the Overlord
Overlord shuddered under the shining of the fusion holy light, a warm and peaceful airflow instantly spread throughout his body. The injury that he had previously suppressed with his True Qi suddenly erupted, causing all his meridians to ache. Just as he was taken aback, that warm energy surged into all the veins in his body, and the pain instantly vanished. The meridians inside his body felt more comfortable than ever before, his mind became peaceful, and he could no longer harbor the thought of slaughter, as the great sword in his hand dropped. With the help of the warm energy, a vigorous vitality emerged inside him, dissipating the mental blow he had received from Ah Dai. The fire of hope was rekindled in his heart. The same sensation also appeared in every member of the Overlord Mercenary Group. Those who had fallen to the ground began to recover from their injuries, and even the meridians that had been sealed by Ah Dai were simultaneously unleashed. One by one, they stood up from the ground with faces full of reverence, gazing at Xuan Yue who floated in the distance. Those mercenaries who were not injured also felt an unusual comfort throughout their bodies, the negative emotions in their hearts disappeared, leaving only respect for Xuan Yue. For a moment, all members of the Overlord Mercenary Group laid down their ice blades, and under the leadership of the eight recovered captains in green armor, they found their warhorses and formed the neat formation they had previously been in, standing on either side of Overlord. The golden clouds in the sky gradually disappeared, and the ground returned to calm, the scene reset to how it was before the confrontation, as if nothing had happened.
Xuan Yue’s face was slightly pale as she floated down beside Ah Dai, looking at her own masterpiece with satisfaction and nodding with a smile. Ah Dai said, "Brother, it seems like your Magic Level has improved again."
Xuan Yue smiled slightly; she was very satisfied with being able to use the fusion holy light, which was equivalent to Level Eight Magic. "Big brother, if I didn’t improve, how could I be qualified to accompany you on your travels across the continent? The Overlord Mercenary Group should be convinced now. I’m afraid they won’t dare to invade again. Honestly, these Heavy Armored Cavalry are quite strong. If they hadn’t encountered us, I’m afraid Moon Scar and the others would have had a hard time dealing with them. It’s a pity they’re about to be disbanded. Big brother, how strong is that guy called Overlord? Is he very strong?"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Very strong. He’s not inferior to Blood Skull brother. He seems to have innate Divine Power and, with the Dou Qi he cultivated later, he has pushed his strength to the limit. Plus, with his full body Heavy Armor, he is indeed formidable. It wouldn’t be easy for me to withstand his full charge head-on, unless I wanted to kill him. If it weren’t for my True Qi having been cultivated to the fourth transformation of the Hades Sword Technique, I would still have some trouble dealing with him. If only they hadn’t decided on an all-out challenge against Moon Scar, what a formidable Heavy Cavalry team they are, surely very difficult to form. Eh! Haven’t they given up yet? Why are they charging over again?"
Xuan Yue looked in the direction Ah Dai was gazing, only to see the entire Overlord Mercenary Group in a neat formation charging towards her and Ah Dai, their momentum not the slightest bit weaker than before. The thunderous sound of over a thousand heavy hooves was astonishing.
Seeing the opposing army pressing forward, Moon Scar didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly led his three thousand comrades to rush forward from behind. Ah Dai and Xuan Yue’s display had profoundly shaken him. Now, with victory within grasp, how could he let the opposition hurt either Ah Dai or Xuan Yue? Ling Ze, too, was startled to see the Overlord Mercenary Group suddenly charging at Ah Dai and hurriedly led tens of thousands of regular soldiers to join the surge. The three forces converged rapidly with Ah Dai and Xuan Yue at the center.
Facing such a scene, Ah Dai was naturally not afraid; a serene smile appeared on his face, and his right hand had already reached for the Sword of Hades at his chest. If Overlord really didn’t know what was good for him, Ah Dai decided he would no longer show mercy. With his current level of True Qi, without using anything beyond the fourth move of the Hades Sword Technique, he could completely confine the sinister aura of the Sword of Hades within a certain range, so as not to harm his own people. Now awakened, he would not shrink back from anything and would use all his abilities to defend his honor. He stepped forward, shielding Xuan Yue behind him, his body exuding a chilling murderous intent while the Sword of Hades at his chest seemed to be eagerly screaming, itching to harvest souls. Ah Dai had never used it since encountering the Dark Witcher at Tian Jing mountain range.
The Overlord Mercenary Group’s Heavy Armored Cavalry advanced swiftly, and when they were about one hundred meters from Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, they suddenly pulled the reins hard, charging forward about fifty meters before coming to a stop. Overlord led his eight men to dismount and walked quickly towards Ah Dai and Xuan Yue as if he didn’t see Moon Scar and Ling Ze, taking off their helmets with determined expressions on their faces. Ah Dai was slightly stunned; he felt that the other party seemed to have no hostility.
By now, Moon Scar and his siblings had also arrived nearby. Leading their subordinates, they gathered behind Ah Dai. Moon Scar stood next to Ah Dai, watching Overlord intently, his face betraying a hint of confusion. At this point, the Overlord Mercenary Group had been thoroughly defeated, and the joy in his heart was beyond words. Fearing chaos, Ling Ze, along with a dozen generals, stepped forward next to Moon Scar and laughed heartily, "Brother Moon Scar, you’ve kept me in the dark! Turns out you had such a strong reinforcement. I worried for nothing earlier."
