SWNOVELS Chapter 111: Mercenaries
In just a few seconds, Sancho was injured by Jacob's last sword mana. So, Jacob thought that Sancho could not escape much farther.
However, when Jacob chased after him, he found that Sancho was way faster than he thought.
In less than a minute, Sancho was out of his sight.
Jacob's eyes lit up.
Even so, this was not helping.
Jacob was at the mid-stage Incarnation Phase. He could find Sancho without his eyes.
Jacob spread out his spiritual will and let it cover the Mist Mountain.
Very quickly, he found Sancho.
Sancho had reached the foot of the mountain.
"Pretty fast!" Jacob's figure flashed as he disappeared.
He stormed away like a bolt of lightning, leaving his shadows behind.
Suddenly, Sancho felt that he was being watched.
So, he sped up and ignored the energy consumption in his body.
Sancho even took out a luminous stone from a box. It was as big as a fist.
While absorbing the energy of the stone, Sancho was running as fast as he could.
However, Jacob was even faster than him.
After a few seconds, Jacob caught up with Sancho. He wanted to kill Sancho with a single sword strike.
However, after seeing the stone in Sancho's hand, Jacob stopped his attack.
Was that a spirit stone?
It was!
Sancho had a spirit stone.
Jacob could tell that it was a low-grade spirit stone with impurities. It was worthless in the universe. But this was the first time Jacob had seen it on Earth.
If there were spirit stones, it meant that there must be spirit mines or springs.
And these places might give birth to a spirit fetus.
With a spirit fetus, Jacob could transform Kaley into a Xiantian spirit body (a natural spirit body as opposed to turning into one).
There was few nourishing mana on Earth. In such a difficult condition, places with spirit mines or springs were more likely to give birth to a spirit fetus. When he thought about it, Jacob's breathing became faster.
He immediately restrained his bloodlust.
Then he kept a certain distance from Sancho.
In this way, Sancho could feel that Jacob was still after him, so he would try hard to escape. And the distance gave him hope.
The chase went on for several days.
Jacob could not eat, drink or sleep for several days, while Sancho couldn't. He was exhausted.
After all he was only mortal. He could not stand the stress of fleeing for so many days.
"Jacob, I will rip you a new one!"
Sancho looked crazy and hysterical.
He had thought that he could replenish his Zhen Qi at any time with the spirit stone. Even if Jacob was stronger than him, he could get rid of Jacob in the end. After that, Sancho would immediately head to the Triangle Region.
The spirit spring there would open in three days.
However, Jacob kept chasing after him.
The spirit spring was going to open. Sancho could not have any delays. But he just couldn't get rid of Jacob.
He had to fight with Jacob.
Sancho's eyes were filled with resentment.
As the disciple of the Saber God, Takashi Inoue, Sancho had reached the Semi-Divinity Phase. But now he was chased by Jacob like a frightened animal.
Sancho had decided to kill Jacob after he got stronger, a stepping stone for him to get to the top. Then he could shake off the humiliation.
But this was impossible now with Jacob still after him.
However, Sancho could ask for others' help.
Now he only wanted Jacob to die!
Because of Jacob, Sancho could not use the public transport.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to rush out again.
He was almost as fast as a racing car.
Sancho was going directly to China's border, the Triangle Region.
The Triangle Region, as the name suggested, was a triangle-shaped place at the borders of three nations.
It lay deep in a forest.
"Boss, they said the target is very strong?"
A fully armed black man asked a muscular man in front of them.
"He's at the Semi-Divinity Phase. Are you afraid?"
The muscular man turned to look at the black man.
And he looked quite bloodthirsty with a smile.
"Really?" The black man was stunned. But then he put on a fierce look. "The fee is all that's necessary!"
"Pat, good for you!"
The boss' real name was Shaan Khun, a world-famous mercenary king.
Shaan would do anything as long as someone was willing to pay.
Once, someone offered him $20 million to assassinate the leader of a country, and he almost succeeded.
After that, Shaan had been wanted by the police. So, he brought his men to the Triangle Region. And he had been doing pretty well here.
Yesterday, an old friend sent him a message and asked him to get prepared. One day later, he would bring a martial master at the Semi-Divinity Phase here. And he wanted Shaan to kill that master.
He offered Shaan $10 million!
Shaan took up the task without hesitation. He gathered his men and waited here.
Now there were more than a hundred fully armed mercenaries here.
This was Shaan's asset, with which he domineered the mercenary circle.
Every mercenary in his group was good at fighting alone. Each of them could fight ten people at the same time. And they were respectively proficient in driving tanks, setting up mines and sniper attacks. Shaar got various talents in his group.
And they were equipped with bazookas, heavy machine guns and some other weapons.
They had managed to kill several Virtuosos, some of whom had reached the top.
If Shaan and his men got prepared well, they could injure or even kill a martial artist at the Semi-Divinity Phase.
After all, no matter how strong one was, a bomb could easily kill him before he reached the Divinity Phase.
Moreover, Shaan's friend, who was at the Semi-Divinity Phase, would fight together with them. They left nothing to chance.
"Have you set up the bombs?"
Shaan asked his men again.
"Yes. We're waiting for the target!" replied the black man, Pat.
"Alright. Check your weapons and get ready!"
"If we can kill a man at the Semi-Divinity Phase today, our army will rise to a whole new level. They will double our price. Fortune is yours for the taking!"
Shaan roared.
Then these well-armed men began to check their weapons.
They looked excited.
"Boss, I feel like there's something wrong."
A sexy beauty in a wild style walked up to Shaan and whispered.
People could vaguely see a snake-shaped tattoo on her neck, drawing men to her.
Shaan held her in his arms and played with her boobs.
"You always feel that. But every time, I came back safe. If I succeeded this time, he will pay me ten million dollars. It's worth the risk." Shaan did not care about her worries. There were always risks in a task. This time, the bid was high enough for him to take it.
After some touching and messing around, Shaan pushed the woman away. "Damn, I almost can't resist it. I've decided not to sleep with a woman before a task. Don't get hurt. We're going to celebrate tonight. Just wait and you'll be satisfied!"
The woman rolled her eyes at Shaan and began to check her weapon.
After an hour, the mercenaries in the Storm Mercenary Army dispersed throughout the forest.
Suddenly, Shaan received a message.
"Guys, our money is on the way!"
Shaan roared.
"He's in the minefield. Set them off!"
Then everyone heard an explosion a hundred meters away.
The sound was deafening.
One explosion after another.
They had set up many bombs. Now they all exploded one after another.
Then someone suddenly appeared in front of Shaan.
"Sancho, I haven't seen you in a while!"
When Shaan saw the man, he greeted with enthusiasm.
"Yeah. Check if he dies. Let's catch up later!"
Sancho looked quite gloomy now. He didn't want to say anything else.
"You brought him into the minefield. Dozens of bombs exploded at the same time. He'll die there even if he has reached the Divinity Phase!"
Shaan said proudly.
Sancho shook his head and did not say anything. People like Shaan would never understand the terrifying power of Divinity Phase.
However, Jacob had not reached the phase. Even if he survived, he should be seriously injured now.
Sancho stared at the dusty explosion area.
It had been a long time, and Jacob still did not show up.
Sancho finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's a pity I can't kill him myself!" Sancho sighed.
However, the next moment, Sancho looked like as if he had seen a ghost.
Jacob was slowly walking out of the dust!000000
