Commander Hong saw the five guards come forward and said with a frown, “This task is not a trivial matter . I don’t want more Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards to sacrifice themselves for it, so the number of people on this mission is limited to four . ”
Upon hearing this, some Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards gave an odd expression .
Five guards were willing to accept this mission, but only four of them had an opportunity to perform this task .
“Jiu Zui definitely wants to go . What about the others?”
“Ling Long?”
Commander Hong smiled at a beautiful woman with long aquamarine hair . This woman looked gorgeous and had a perfect figure .
She was Ling Long and she had gained a great reputation among the Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards .
“I have been taking Catastrophe Level missions . It’s utterly boring . I have rarely encountered a Hell Level task . How could I miss it?” This glamorous lady laughed with tinkling, bell-like voice .
“Zi Diao, Shui Jin, what about you?” Commander Hong asked .
Zi Diao, looking indifferent, stepped forward and said in a low voice, “Seek fortune in danger . Since this is such a great opportunity, I have to try . ”
“Right . ” Shui Jin also nodded in agreement .
Commander Hong nodded slightly, and then faced the last of the five .
This man was Jian Wushuang .
“Blood Mountain, will you also take this Hell Level mission?” Commander Hong frowned .
“Yes . ” Jian Wushuang nodded respectfully but confidently .
“Do you know how dangerous the Hell Level mission is? You have not joined us for long, but you improved greatly . As long as you keep going at this rate, you’ll have a brilliant future . Why do you want to take such a dangerous mission?” Hong Tong asked seriously .
“Commander, it is just like you said, why did I join the Blood Eagle Guard in the first place? Honestly, I should have stayed in the Dragon Guard and keep order in the imperial palace . Wouldn’t it be more comfortable?” Jian Wushuang replied .
Commander Hong was stunned but shrugged his shoulders with resignation . “You’re right . Joining our Blood Eagle Guard means adventure . ”
“But now all five of you want to take this hell-level mission, but this task is limited to four people . So one of you has to give it up . What shall we do?”
“Commander, it’s simple . ”
The cold and stern Zi Diao suddenly spoke in a resonant, frosty voice . “The Hell Level mission is dangerous . Those who are not strong enough will die, so naturally, the stronger ones would be qualified to go, and the weaker should remain . ”
Upon hearing this, the other Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards nodded to themselves .
No matter where they were, those who were powerful should be respected .
“Blood Mountain . ”
Zi Diao looked over at Jian Wushuang and said in his icy voice, “You’ve just become a Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guard . You haven’t encountered any difficult Catastrophe Level missions . Are you qualified to go with us?”
“So… be tactful and stand back . Don’t disgrace yourself . ”
Zi Diao’s sonorous words were full of contempt for Jian Wushuang .
Zi Diao was the elder of the Blood Eagle Guard .
He had been in the guard for such a long time, and and the time he spent in the Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guard was much longer than any of the other Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards present .
But his strength was not good and he barely ranked in the middle of them . This really upset him . He was jealous of the other Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards who were less experienced than him but stronger .
He was a narrow-minded man .
It was surprising that such a man could be so conceited .
Because of this, he had almost no friends among the Blood Eagle Guards .
But usually, no one dared to offend him at will .
Jian Wushuang had risen so fast . It only took him 15 years to become a Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guard . In the guard, this was almost considered legendary .
Zi Diao had also heard of Jian Wushuang’s meteoric rise, so he envied the boy too .
Upon hearing this, Jian Wushuang stayed looking indifferent . He glanced around and found the other Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards were staring at him with interest .
The experts should be respected in the Blood Eagle Guard .
Most of the Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guards had been in the Blood Eagle Guard for a long time and had completed numerous tasks, so they had proved their strength .
Jian Wushuang had just become a Three-clawed Blood Eagle Guard, so they were not familiar with him, and only heard that he had been finishing tasks alone like crazy over the past 15 years .
Based solely on this, these three-claw blood eagle guards did yet not truly believe in his strength .
Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes and said unhurriedly, “You’re right, the weak can’t participate in this mission . But, how do you know that I am the weakest one, and not you?”
“Boy, what do you mean?” Zi Diao responded with cold eyes, like a raging lion .
“What do I mean?” Jian Wushuang grinned .
A flicker of killing intents flashed in his eyes . Buzz . An invisible sword shadow materialized in the void, and then slashed at Zi Diao’s head .
This sword shadow moved so fast that an ordinary Eternal Realm expert would have been unable to parry it in time . However, Zi Diao, at the Peak of Step Six of the Eternal Realm, reacted with ease . He let out a shout, and the shockwave it dispersed shattered the sword shadow .
“Kid, how dare you!”
Zi Diao’s eyes were blazing with fury with his hair on his body stood up . At the same time, a Purple Thunderbolt Saber appeared in his hand .
Zi Diao held his saber, radiating a mighty aura . Then he stepped forward and appeared in front of his opponent .
Jian Wushuang had already activated the Bloodline Power . In a split second, he had turned into a 15-meter-tall Gold-armored Ancient God .
Fortunately, the scarlet palace was huge enough to hold his body .
His aura burst out as a 12-meter longsword appeared in his hand .
