Upon hearing the admission from the other side, the faces of Xu Hai and his two companions grew even more serious.

Damn it.

They never expected that the opposing side would have called upon Long Ya for protection. Although none of the three had ever encountered this Long Ya, the reputation preceded the person.

In this circle, who hasn't heard some legends about the Dragon King?

The warriors under the Dragon King's command are collectively known as the Dragon Guards, and only the outstanding ones among them are granted the Long Ya token and the Reversed Scale token.

The Dragon Guards are already among the top-notch warriors in the mercenary world, and the strength of Long Ya, who stands out among the best, is self-evident.

Moreover, they never heard of Long Ya being hired by someone, given that Long Ya is a sharp blade of the Dragon King, always maneuvering in Central Asia, Lijia State, battling on the forefront against the other two giants.

Compared to these places, this small land of the Southeast Continent seems like a backyard garden.

Xu Hai took a deep breath.

If they encountered Long Ya in a foreign land, they would certainly avoid confrontation, after all, Long Ya is a symbol, a backbone for those from Yan Country who ventured out.

But at this moment, Xu Hai couldn't retreat, because this action was ordered by the main family, and they cost the three families a heavy investment; someone like Xu Hai had followed the Xu Family for generations, even taking the Xu surname.

They naturally had to carry out the main family's orders without fail, even if standing before them was their idol Long Ya.

"Long Ya, you are a banner for our Yan Country mercenaries. Honestly, we admire you deeply and even aspire to be like you."

"But as fellow mercenaries, since we've taken the employer's money, we must serve the employer. This is the ethic of a mercenary."

"Moreover, as mercenaries, you are the target we aim to reach, and also the target we wish to surpass."

"Since we've run into each other today, if we just became cowards, we wouldn't be fit for this line of work."

"We have no choice but to battle."

"Let us test whether the blade of Long Ya is as sharp as the rumors say."

After a moment of astonishment and shock, Xu Hai assessed the situation, realizing retreat was not an option, and the only choice was to fight.

Moreover, the opponent is none other than the legendary Long Ya, famed as undefeated and invincible, even standing up against the two giants of the Federation without faltering.

As a warrior, without ambition, how can one survive in this field?

The mercenary world is inherently a circle of restless souls.

"Hey, I feel the same."

Yang Tianming didn't back down either. Even if they lost today, a battle with Long Ya could become a brag-worthy lifetime experience.

"Oh, testing my Long Ya's edge, are you?"

"You guys are quite ambitious."

The opposing Dragon Guard chuckled lightly, then without further ado, four Dragon Tooth Warriors charged directly at the private guards of the three families like a war blade.

"Brothers, today we slay the dragon."

Xu Hai shouted sternly, then tensed all his muscles, as one of the leaders of the Xu Family's private guards, Xu Hai was no amateur.

As an affiliated family of the Ancient Martial Lin Family, the Xu Family naturally isn't just in name and without substance, and besides the direct descendants having the opportunity to seek the path in the Ancient Martial Lin Family, the Lin Family also passed on some basic Ancient Martial Arts to the Xu Family.

These are not the sports martial arts of street Taekwondo, Karate, or Sanda.

Ancient Martial Arts is the most orthodox Kung Fu and the art of killing.

In the past, Ancient Martial Arts were used to fight on battlefield, and also embodied the chivalry of challenging authority, but after Yan Country's establishment, Ancient Martial Arts were banned due to their lethal power.

This marked the beginning of the separation between Ancient Martial Arts and the secular society.

Since then, Ancient Martial Arts became the possession of a select few, while the national martial arts in secular society declined, even being overshadowed by foreign Karate, Taekwondo, and T Boxing, and flourished in Yan Country.

For half a century, the old generation in the secular world gradually passed, while Ancient Martial Arts became a privately transmitted presence, controlled by the Three Sects, Six Gates, and Ten Great Families of Ancient Martial Arts.

The private guards of the three families could carve out a space in the Southeast Continent and become the foundation of the three families because they practiced Ancient Martial Arts.

Xu Hai was able to stand out also because of his talent, allowing him to become one of the five major leaders of the Xu Family's private guards.

The situation of Yang Tianming and Wei Lang was similar, except Wei Lang was a bit unlucky and suffered a hidden loss right after charging without knowing the opponent's identity.

If Wei Lang had known his opponent was a Dragon Guard, he would never have been so careless and wouldn't have been knocked flying and spitting blood with a single punch.

Xu Hai and the others didn't take turns in a one-on-one fight. When facing Long Ya, they naturally went all out. And how do they go all out? They use every bit of strength they have without holding back.

"This is outrageous, are we to believe there's no one on our side?"

"Feng Shao."

Li Feng raised his hand to stop the bodyguards who were about to rush over: "They are just a few people, they can handle it."

"If you rush up, you'll actually affect their performance space."

Li Feng had great confidence in his Dragon Tooth underlings, these were people he personally trained, and they practiced the modified version of Xiang Family's Domineering, Li Feng's War God Technique.

Long Ya was also among the few who excelled in practicing the War God Technique, whose most significant feature is fighting more valiantly.

This is also the characteristic of domineering spirit, as the blood boils in battle, causing greater strength as the fighting continues.

Moreover, this was a corridor with limited space to maneuver, though the other side had more people, not many could charge directly into battle.

Even if the space here was broad, four Long Yas would form an effective fighting group.

One Long Ya is already terrifyingly strong, let alone a team, which is definitely not the mere sum of one plus one equals two.

Xu Hai and Yang Tianming used all their might, even the strength of an ox, but it was useless.

Though they were thriving in the Southeast Continent, they were no match compared to Long Ya, falling short by far.

Li Feng, in nurturing his core, almost shared it all, while the things the Lin Family gave to the Xu Family were mostly superficial, and the Xu Family would not reveal all of it. Only those like Xu Hai, born and bred by the Xu Family, had more access, while others were still a layer away.

Though they shouted to slay the dragon with great fervor, in less than a minute, Xu Hai and his companions, along with their private guards, were almost entirely depleted.

"Is this Long Ya?"

"Too powerful."

Yang Tianming's eyes were empty, his once boiling blood was completely crushed by the opponent's power, the disparity was too great.

How on earth did Li Feng manage to hire Long Ya?

After all, sometimes it's not just a matter of having money, and hiring such as Long Ya is not something you can decide just because you want to.

The private guards of the three families were all inadequate, and the outnumbered security guards were even more vulnerable.

"What, Xu Hai and the others were crushed by four people?"

"The people on the other side are Long Yas?"

"The people on the thirty-eighth floor have already been wiped out?"
