Chu Tian's figure landed on Xiao Hei's head.
The mecha retracted and reappeared on the watch on his arm.
"Shrink!"
Chu Tian was exasperated by Xiao Hei.
He stomped his foot heavily.
A faint surge of energy flowed from his foot.
*Boom...*
A sound of metal clashing echoed.
This stomp was heavier than when he had used the large iron rod to smash Xiao Hei's head.
Xiao Hei yelped in pain, its body instantly shrinking to ten meters in size.
Its two eyes, like those of a cross-eyed bird, looked up at Chu Tian.
"Boss, what are you doing? It hurts so much!"
Xiao Hei felt very wronged.
Chu Tian's stomp had left its head buzzing.
With so many people watching, to have its head kicked...
It was a loss of face.
"Shut up!"
Chu Tian was angry with the fellow for being so unprofessional.
As expected, with his shout, Xiao Hei sulked and fell silent.
However, it still muttered, "A hundred roasted chickens are gone!"
Chu Tian ignored it.
However, the scene of Chu Tian reprimanding Xiao Hei shocked Hei Sha.
So this "Black Master" was just this man's mount!
He just kicked him like that...
That's amazing.
Who exactly is this man?
Right, he seemed to recall Mei Ying and Jue Sha mentioning earlier...
Was he De Shen?
Hei Sha was quite peculiar.
He was one of the very few who had not entered the Heavenly Dao World.
Therefore, he was not very familiar with De Shen.
However, seeing him so powerful, he was immensely envious.
His mount was a divine beast, a Mo Qilin.
Could this fellow truly be a god?
Having killed countless people, Hei Sha had long since stopped caring about gods and spirits.
Thinking of this, he suddenly flinched.
Could it be that there really were gods above one's head?
Recalling all that he had done over the years, Hei Sha couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Liu Er, right! Hmm... Liu Hong? Is that it? I'm asking you... is the guild [Tian Qi Battle Group] in the killer faction of the Heavenly Dao World yours?"
While Hei Sha was lost in thought, Chu Tian stood atop the ten-meter-tall Mo Qilin.
He extended his palm, and from the pile of people, one person, as if pulled by some force, rose straight up and stopped before Chu Tian.
This person was none other than the leader of the Tian Qi mercenary group.
No one knew his real name; like Hei Sha, he was of Chinese descent.
He also had only one nickname, Tian Qi.
The Tian Qi mercenary group was named after him.
This guy, unlike Hei Sha,
He was involved in gambling, prostitution, drugs, arms dealing, and human trafficking.
He was one of the most wanted criminals in Long Country.
The reason Chu Tian recognized him.
Was because in his previous life, he had seen a news report.
But later on,
After the faction war began,
Long Country announced the capture of a wanted criminal.
This person was none other than the Tian Qi before him.
At that time, his real name was revealed.
His original name was Liu Hong, nicknamed Liu Er.
The imposing name Tian Qi was one he gave himself when he was active in the Tri-Border area.
No one knew his real name.
Yet, Chu Tian called out his name.
Originally, Liu Hong appeared quite calm.
But when he was apprehended, a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes.
Hearing Chu Tian call his name.
He instantly became flustered.
Upon hearing Chu Tian ask about matters in the Heavenly Dao World.
He quickly nodded.
"Yes... yes, it's mine!"
Seeing his swift affirmation.
Chu Tian nodded.
"I believe you've heard my name. In the Heavenly Dao World, everyone calls me De Shen!"
The moment Chu Tian said this.
The Tian Qi before him widened his eyes.
"You're De Shen? The boss of the Inverse God Alliance?"
Chu Tian nodded indifferently, then continued.
"You have two choices: live, or you all die!"
His expression was like that of a god passing judgment.
The ones being judged were Tian Qi... and all his subordinates.
"I choose to live... If you need my Tian Qi mercenary group... uh... Tian Qi Battle Group guild to serve, just say the word."
Tian Qi was a smart man and naturally understood Chu Tian's meaning.
"Heh, good, you're wise."
As Chu Tian spoke, he waved his hand, and Tian Qi was lowered.
Xiao Hei also understood what was happening.
Its body continued to shrink.
Finally, Chu Tian jumped down, and Xiao Hei also transformed into human form.
After landing, Chu Tian glanced back at Hei Sha's camp. The scene was tragic; not a single building remained intact.
He shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk here!
First, let's establish three rules.
First: You are a mercenary group, so why engage in prostitution, gambling, and drug trafficking? All businesses except arms dealing are to be terminated, especially human trafficking.
Second: From now on, all business with Hua Country is forbidden, and no harm is to be inflicted upon any Chinese people.
Third: From now on, your two mercenary groups will merge. You are all my people now. The person in charge...
Hei Sha, come here..."
Chu Tian called out to Hei Sha.
When Chu Tian emerged, he had learned about Hei Sha's character while talking with Gao Kai.
According to Gao Kai, Hei Sha conducted his business relatively legitimately, dealing only in arms and nothing else.
Moreover, Gao Kai had suggested that Chu Tian take Hei Sha under his wing.
Chu Tian had also considered it. In reality,
Aside from the people around him,
He truly had no forces of his own.
He couldn't possibly have everyone running errands for him.
It was at this moment, upon seeing Tian Qi.
He suddenly conceived the idea of organizing a force in reality as well.
Thinking of his mother, the Lord of the Underworld, and her millions of black-armored soldiers.
The imposing aura of their absolute obedience to his command.
He felt a surge of excitement.
Hei Sha was slightly taken aback when Chu Tian called him.
Gao Kai patted him, and he snapped back to attention.
He cast a grateful look at Gao Kai.
"Go on!"
Gao Kai remained at the camp with Chen Yu'er, Zhang Chengcheng, and Miao Zuo, not stepping forward.
"Mm!"
Hei Sha nodded and, alone, quickly ran towards Chu Tian and the former Tian Qi mercenary group.
In the past, he would never have dared to approach alone.
Even with all his Black Shark members, he wouldn't have dared.
At such close proximity.
With so many of the opponent's people and guns.
A single sweep would have killed him.
But with Chu Tian and Xiao Hei standing there.
It gave him immense courage.
Moreover, Tian Qi's men had not yet fully organized their ranks.
That mountain of people... had not dispersed yet.
They were piled too high.
He didn't doubt that the people at the very bottom might have already been crushed to death.
But that was not his concern.
His concern was what Chu Tian wanted him for.
After Chu Tian landed and spoke face-to-face with Tian Qi, his voice returned to normal.
He hadn't heard what they were discussing.
Chu Tian saw Hei Sha approach.
Xiao Hei, being friendly, moved closer.
With one arm slung over his shoulder, he said, "Kid, your luck is about to change!"
Hei Sha was momentarily caught off guard by Xiao Hei's sudden change in attitude.
When he saw Xiao Hei raise his hand earlier, he instinctively dodged.
