"Welcome, friend Batman," Zhuo Bufan said, having overheard the conversation between Nie Zheng and Broly with his inner energy. "I am Zhuo Bufan, and I'm the leader of this group."
Nie Zheng immediately clapped in appreciation. Bu Qingyun remained seated on the deck, eyes closed in meditation, looking as cold as ice. Zhang Ye leaned against the mast with his hands in his sleeves, his eyes vacant, seemingly half-asleep.
Zhuo Bufan immediately felt a headache coming on. These two really didn't give him any face. He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse them.
Broly glanced at Zhuo Bufan first, then focused his attention on Zhang Ye. His perception was already quite sharp, and after cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Martial God's Essence, it was even more exceptional. This Taoist seemed to be the strongest of the three present.
Zhang Ye's originally vacant eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. He met Broly's gaze for a moment before lowering his eyes again, returning to his listless appearance.
"You were the one who attacked the Ten Rings bases recently, weren't you?" Zhuo Bufan said after clearing his throat.
"Someone hired me to assassinate Tony Stark, but I couldn't find him even after searching several Ten Rings bases," Broly replied directly.
Zhuo Bufan coughed violently. He had assumed, seeing Broly in a superhero outfit, that he had attacked the Ten Rings out of a sense of justice. Therefore, he had prepared some remarks to persuade Broly to work with him to deal with the Fire Cloud Evil God.
Who knew Broly was actually an assassin, and was after Tony Stark? All the tactics he had racked his brain to come up with were wasted.
Moreover, Broly had openly attacked the Ten Rings every time. No one would mistake it for an assassination.
"How much would it cost to hire you to kill the Fire Cloud Evil God?" Zhuo Bufan asked casually.
"The Fire Cloud Evil God is very strong; I'm not a match for him right now," Broly said. He was stronger than when he fought the Fire Cloud Evil God, but he knew he was still far from the Fire Cloud Evil God wielding the Star Tribulation.
The first three levels of the Nine Revolutions True Martial God's Essence were for building a foundation and wouldn't bring about a qualitative change in strength. The Star Tribulation, on the other hand, could multiply the destructive power of a weapon.
He paused and continued, "If you want to hire me to kill him, you'll have to pay more."
Bu Qingyun, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them, sizing up Broly, who seemed to care more about money than his life.
Broly didn't care. He wasn't a match for the Fire Cloud Evil God now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't be in the future. When that time came, killing the Fire Cloud Evil God would be like picking up money.
He still clearly remembered the Fire Cloud Evil God's malice towards him. Although he didn't know what kind of scheme the Fire Cloud Evil God was plotting, it didn't stop him from taking note of the grudge.
"Five million US dollars. I don't need you to kill the Fire Cloud Evil God. All I need is for you to go all out when we fight him. What do you say?" Zhuo Bufan said. The Spear Bureau's funding for this mission was very generous, and paying five million US dollars was not a problem.
"Of course, this money isn't so easy to get. I need to test your strength first to see if you're worth the five million dollar appearance fee." He looked at Nie Zheng, preparing for Nie Zheng to fight Broly to test Broly's background.
"Of course."
Broly's mouth opened, and he began to release his inner energy.
He had already leveled up the Oolong Transformation Technique to lv10 and could almost use his own energy without restraint.
[Oolong Transformation Technique lv7: Memory Extraction. After transforming, getting close to the transformed target can extract their recent memories, and maintain the Transformation Technique in battle, exerting 50% of the user's original strength.] [Oolong Transformation Technique lv9: Ability Mimicry. After cultivating the Transformation Technique to this level, you can mimic some of the transformed target's abilities, and maintain the Transformation Technique in battle, exerting 90% of the user's original strength.]
Powerful inner energy surged outwards from Broly like a tide.
"This is too reckless. Releasing inner energy so wildly, but his inner energy is indeed excessive." Zhuo Bufan signaled Nie Zheng to make a move with his eyes.
Nie Zheng took the Snow Drinking Blade off his back, preparing to test Broly with his leg techniques.
A figure suddenly stood in front of him.
Zhang Ye held his sword with both hands. Although he still looked lazy, the sword's blade flickered with light, and his inner energy was contained but not revealed, clearly not joking around.
Although Zhuo Bufan was very puzzled by Zhang Ye's actions, he didn't speak to stop him.
"Then I'll make my move!"
Zhang Ye used light footwork, instantly rushing to Broly's side. The longsword flashed with silver light, and sword energy crisscrossed, dancing so fast that it was impenetrable, slashing towards Broly.
Broly's outward energy was shattered by the sword.
"This is the Entangling Silk Style of the Wudang Taiji Swordplay. Zhang Ye started with such a killing move; is he trying to take a life?!"
Zhuo Bufan recognized the sword technique Zhang Ye was using at a glance. Countless masters had died under this sword technique when fighting against Wudang swordsmen. Broly was empty-handed. Even if his power was equal, he would find it hard to withstand the sharp blade with his body.
But Zhang Ye was not as optimistic as Zhuo Bufan. The sword blade did not take any force. In an instant, he struck twenty-eight swords, but not a single one hit.
"Impossible!"
Although the sword energy was dense, it wasn't truly being released at the same time. Broly, with his superhuman perception and eyesight, passed through the sword net unscathed in the blink of an eye and punched Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye's pupils shrank. He twirled the iron sword in his hand, forming a sword circle that trapped Broly's punch. The violent force of the punch was absorbed by the Taiji sword circle. He slashed with the sword, and released the absorbed punch force with his own inner energy.
"Thunderbolt Force!"
The sword energy was like thunder on a clear day, striking towards Broly.
"Clang!"
Broly punched the sword's spine, and the Nine Revolutions True Martial inner energy erupted. The iron sword was knocked high, making a bell-like sound. He endured the sword energy on the longsword, and his feet caused the Nüwa Star Raft to shake slightly.
Zhang Ye was knocked into the air by the punch and landed gracefully, putting the iron sword back into its sheath.
"Qualified."
After saying this, he returned to his sleepy appearance, hugging his sword and leaning against the wall.
"Don't sleep! Get up and fight me again!" Broly was a little dissatisfied. He had just warmed up and the battle was already over.
Zhuo Bufan gave another look, and Nie Zheng immediately put his arm around Broly's shoulder.
"Haha, friend Batman, you must be hungry. I'll take you to get some food." He half-dragged, half-pulled Broly into the cabin.
"You went for the kill just now; what's going on?" Zhuo Bufan said to Zhang Ye.
"He was using the Nine Revolutions True Martial God's Essence," Zhang Ye suddenly opened his eyes and said to Zhuo Bufan very seriously.
