He Xue did not suddenly make a move but began to observe Gu Qijue and An Ning.

After watching for a while, he asked, "Who are you two?"

Gu Qijue certainly wouldn't reveal his identity, and as for An Ning, she had no intention of speaking.

So the answer He Xue received was, "It doesn't matter who we are; what matters is that we want fifty percent of the benefits."

He Xue shook his head with a smile, "I'm afraid that's not possible because it's always been our Blood River Mercenary Corps demanding benefits from others."

"Since the founding of the Blood River Mercenary Corps, no one has ever dared to ask us for benefits."

Gu Qijue said casually, "That's because you haven't met me."

"Otherwise, the Blood River Mercenary Corps would be handing out some of its benefits."

His words undoubtedly completely angered He Xue.

At this point, He Xue lost all interest in continuing communication with Gu Qijue.

In an extremely icy voice, he said, "You may not know this, but speaking recklessly in the territory of the Blood River Mercenary Corps can get you killed!"

As soon as He Xue finished speaking, Bai Beifeng and his team rushed forward without any hesitation.

Everyone's actions were very skillful.

They had done this sort of thing many times before.

Previously, they would lure some fools to the territory of the Blood River Mercenary Corps and kill them.

This time, Gu Qijue and An Ning seemed even more foolish than all their previous opponents combined.

Without any design, Gu Qijue and An Ning jumped into the fire pit themselves.

Gu Qijue was unconcerned with the scene before him.

Thunder surged around him, and the Thunder Battle Saber, unused for so long, was soon condensed in his hands.

As soon as the Thunder Battle Saber was formed, he engaged in combat with the members of the Blood River Mercenary Corps.

The people from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster knew him more for his Blood Spear and the second combat form of his Half-Dragon Transformation.

His Thunder Power and other means were obviously unknown to outsiders.

Neither An Ning nor He Xue could discern his true origin at this time.

But it didn't matter because whatever his origin, it would no longer be important once he was a dead man.

Unfortunately, the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals of the Blood River Mercenary Corps couldn't do anything to Gu Qijue.

In front of ordinary F-Class Cosmic Warriors, the mercenaries of the Blood River were elites one by one.

But in front of Gu Qijue, they were just mediocre Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, mere chickens and dogs.

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"

In An Ning's stunned gaze, Gu Qijue, with his solitary saber, took on many foes, shockingly forcing Bai Beifeng and the others to retreat step by step.

Bai Beifeng and He Xue were quite shocked when they saw this scene.

At this moment, they finally understood why Gu Qijue was so arrogant.

There are only two reasons someone can be excessively arrogant.

One reason is that the ignorant fear nothing, and the other is that the person actually has the right to be arrogant.

Clearly, Gu Qijue belonged to the latter!

Seeing how formidable Gu Qijue was, An Ning couldn't help but feel extremely pleased.

Her clever mind allowed her to make the correct judgment once again.

Although she still couldn't figure out who Gu Qijue really was, one thing was certain: his combat power was terrifying.

He was effortlessly suppressing the members of the Blood River Mercenary Corps.

As the leader of the Blood River Mercenary Corps, He Xue didn't just stand by.

He didn't have his subordinates fall back to duel with Gu Qijue one-on-one either.

His decision was to calmly observe from the sidelines and deliver a fatal blow to Gu Qijue at the most opportune moment!

His strategy was correct, but Gu Qijue's combat experience was too rich.

He Xue had watched for a long time without finding a single opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

He Xue reluctantly gave up on the idea of an ambush and joined the battle.

Though Gu Qijue was exceedingly powerful, He Xue was no weakling either.

The Double-Headed Wolf Fang Club in his hand swung fiercely at Gu Qijue, unleashing powerful energy waves.

"Boom!"

Gu Qijue's Thunder Battle Saber clashed violently with He Xue's Double-Headed Wolf Fang Club!

At the moment of impact, a mighty surge of energy swept through the area.

Under this overwhelming force, Gu Qijue remained motionless.

On the other hand, He Xue, who had launched the aggressive strike, wavered slightly.

He Xue's eyes locked onto Gu Qijue.

In his heart, he was extremely shocked.

"What's going on? How is this guy so strong?"

"The energy waves from his body are indeed only at F-Tier First Level."

"Yet, the intensity of energy he unleashes is on par with mine!"

Compared to the shocked He Xue, Gu Qijue was internally very calm.

'After advancing to F-Tier, my strength has indeed seen a qualitative leap, making all the resources burned during training worthwhile.'

His training and growth were extremely resource-intensive.

He consumed resources tens or even hundreds of times more than a standard Super Divine-tier Warrior.

The reward for consuming massive resources was, of course, visible to the naked eye.

Although his current level was only F-Tier First Level, his overall qualities were ten to dozens of times greater than He Xue's.

Therefore, even if there was a gap in levels, his overall strength still crushed He Xue.

Although He Xue knew how formidable Gu Qijue was, he had no intention of retreating.

With so many of them, they could wear Gu Qijue down to death!

Without any hesitation, he continued to wield the Double-Headed Wolf Fang Club and charged at Gu Qijue.

Bai Beifeng and the others understood that they were up against a tough opponent this time.

No one dared to hold back, and all began to fight desperately.

Suddenly, an even fiercer battle erupted!

Over thirty F-Class Cosmic Powerhouses from the Blood River Mercenary Corps rushed in, beginning their siege on Gu Qijue.

Despite the situation, the girl An Ning held her ground and didn't run away.

Instead, she used all her skills to hold off two enemies for Gu Qijue.

Although An Ning was only fighting two F-Class Cosmic Warriors, she was struggling greatly at the moment.

Even though Gu Qijue was easily handling all thirty, she felt unprecedented pressure dealing with just two.

Right now, An Ning wished Gu Qijue could share a bit of his combat ability with her.

So that she could handle the two foes with ease.

In fact, Gu Qijue wasn't as relaxed as he appeared to be.

So he decided to stop pretending and reveal his hand.

"Roar——"

A sky-shaking dragon roar suddenly erupted.

Immediately, Gu Qijue's appearance began to change rapidly.

Long gray-white hair draped over his shoulders like a waterfall.

Soon after, a set of Black Dragon Profound Robe appeared on him.

A long Black Dragon Tail slowly swayed behind him.

"Crack!"

From beneath his shoulders, two ferocious and domineering black dragons extended their heads, glaring menacingly at the surrounding crowd.
