Chapter 93: Silencing by Killing
Seeing Jian Chen co at them at such a high speed, the rcenaries all ca to their senses and summoned their Saint Weapons in preparation to attack him.
Jian Chen didn’t want to be entangled with them, so instead of taking the blows head on, he dodged their attacks and quickly moved to their sides. In an instant, his sword sliced through the necks of two rcenaries.
As the silver light disappeared, the two rcenaries beca rigid as the light in their eyes slowly faded away. From their necks, a slow trickle of blood started to flow out for everyone to see. In the next instant, the blood suddenly began to surge out from their wounds as the bodies slowly toppled to the ground.
Without slowing down, Jian Chen swept past the two dead bodies and charged at the hindmost rcenaries in the blink of an eye; these were the weakest of the group and thus were Jian Chen’s first targets. Although there were around 20 rcenaries total, the majority of them were only Saints and Great Saints. Only the first middle aged man and one other were Saint Masters.
Using the Profound Steps, Jian Chen imdiately flickered behind the group. His Light Wind Sword flashed as rcenaries continued to fall to his blade. The rcenaries who were only Saints were unable to do anything against such a fast attack. Since they were unable to react at all, there was no way they could possibly resist.
In the ti it took to take a breath, the rcenaries that were barely at the Saint level had died by Jian Chen’s sword. The remaining people who were of the Great Saint level or above had already started to prepare themselves to defend against Jian Chen.
Even after killing all of the weak Saints, Jian Chen didn’t pause at all. The Light Wind Sword beca a flash of silver lightning as he swung out at the one of the Great Saint rcenaries next to him.
Seeing such a fast attack co at him, the rcenary’s face imdiately changed. Since there was no ti to dodge, he could only desperately throw his battleaxe up in front of him.
But Jian Chen’s Light Wind Sword was like a viper. With a single movent, its trajectory suddenly lowered and changed from aiming at the rcenary’s throat to his heart.
“Pft!” This ti, the Great Saint rcenary wasn’t able to react. The silver streak that was the Light Wind Sword embedded itself deeply into the left side of the man’s chest, piercing straight through his heart.
Just as quickly as it entered, the sword was imdiately pulled out of the man’s chest. Jian Chen then began to move on to fiercely attack the other rcenaries.
Seeing their comrades die so quickly right in front of their eyes, the remaining rcenaries all cried out in both anger and shock.
“Bastard, go die!”
“Give back the lives of our comrades!”
The remaining Great Saint rcenaries all rallied together and raised their Saint Weapons to attack Jian Chen from various directions and seal off any possible escape routes Jian Chen had.
Jian Chen let loose a subtle sneer before swinging his sword in a way that left a silver crescent trail behind. Like lightning, the sword pierced the other Great Saints.
“Ding!” “Ding!” “Ding!”
In that short mont, Jian Chen’s sword had rapidly hit three of the rcenaries’ Saint Weapons dead on. With each collision, a tallic sound rang out, but Jian Chen had swung so fast, it was it was hard to differentiate separate weapons, as the sound was was just like a single loud collision’s.
The mont the Light Wind Sword made contact, a large amount of force was transmitted back through the rcenaries’ Saint Weapons.
Feeling the feedback transmitted back to them, the rcenaries’ faces all changed. Unable to control their bodies, they were forced back a few steps. None of them had thought that such a slender sword would contain a power that was definitely not inferior to any other’s.
The flash of light in that instant sparkled brightly with killing intent. Using the opportunity given by people suffering from temporary paralysis, Jian Chen approached the unmoving rcenary. The Light Wind Sword beca covered by a dense layer of Sword Qi, and it rapidly shot towards the rcenary’s neck.
Faced with such a fast sword, the rcenary hadn’t managed to even regain his footing couldn’t put up any form of resistance at all. During his final mont, his expression of one of shock and anger at the sight of the Light Wind Sword having already deeply pierced through his throat. Fresh blood suddenly burst forth directly from the hole, completely covering Jian Chen, as the sword was completely pushed through the body and out of the wound.
Right at this mont, a strong gale attacked Jian Chen from behind. Jian Chen’s eyes flashed as he imdiately pulled his sword out from the neck of the rcenary he just killed. Jian Chen turned around with his Sword Qi enhanced Light Wind Sword, and quickly thrusted his blade behind him like a flash of silver-white lightning.
“Clang!”
The two finger-wide swords clashed against the three inch-wide blade in midair, neither Saint Weapon forced the other backwards, and the two were stuck in sothing like a stalemate.
However, no one had noticed that the mont the swords had collided, Jian Chen’s right arm had shaken twice afterwards.
Jian Chen’s eyes swivelled upwards to look at the owner of the great sword coldly. It was the middle aged rcenary that had first spoken out before; the man was looking at him with an extrely overcast expression, but his eyes were filled with intense killing intent.
“Haa!” The middle aged man cried out angrily, the bloodlust flashing in his eyes. His left hand curled into a fist, and shot it out toward Jian Chen, bringing a bitter cold wind along with it.
Jian Chen’s eyes flashed coldly as he sneered. Against the middle aged man’s strong fist, he wouldn’t run; instead, Jian Chen would raise his own fist without fear.
“Bang!”
The fists collided against each other with a loud bang. At the mont of contact, a powerful shock wave ca out from between the two and affected everything in all directions. Under this almost invisible force of strength, the surrounding trees nearby the two combatants began to sway. Even so of the weeds nearby were imdiately flattened to the ground.
As for the two fighters, the force of their blows caused a powerful aftershock that forced the two to retreat a few steps. Finally, at a distance of 10m, the warrior was swaying back and forth while waiting for the opponent.
The middle aged man looked at Jian Chen with an intense glare, “Youngster, you’re quite fast, I’ll take great pleasure in disposing of you.”
The remaining Great Saint rcenaries began to gather behind the middle aged man. Each one of them snarled at Jian Chen with an angry look.
Jian Chen stared coldly at the group of rcenaries without saying a word. Since the Silver Striped Golden Snake was now discovered by them, Jian Chen had no other choice but to silence them. With the experiences from his previous world, Jian Chen wasn’t so new inexperienced youth; he knew that if the news about the Silver Striped Golden Snake were to leak out, then it would bring him an endless amount of trouble since the snake was a very precious source of profit. Many of the major wealthy clans would go to war in order to obtain the Silver Striped Golden Snake. If he were to co across those clans, it would be even worse than his current troubles with the Hua Yun Sect, so this was sothing that Jian Chen wanted to avoid at all costs. Thus, with this chance, Jian Chen definitely wanted to kill the rcenaries here to stop the rumours before they started.
There were only 11 rcenaries left in the group aside from the middle aged Saint Master. Another man that looked to be 30 years old had also possessed near Saint Master strength. Amongst this rcenary group, it was only that thirty year old man and middle aged man that could give threaten Jian Chen.
Seeing that Jian Chen wasn’t talking, the middle aged man spoke out loud, “My fellow brothers, attack with ! If we kill him, not only will our dead comrades be avenged, but that Silver Striped Golden Snake will be ours! If we can take that Silver Striped Golden Snake, then we will no longer have to risk our lives in the Magical Beast Mountain Range in order to earn a profit!”
With that, the middle aged man charged towards Jian Chen, with the rest of the rcenaries following right behind him.
Jian Chen still didn’t say anything, but the fighting spirit within his heart had unconsciously reached a high point. Raising the Light Wind Sword, Jian Chen activated his Profound Steps and flew towards the group of rcenaries.
“Ha!” Seeing the charging Jian Chen, the middle aged man’s eyes revealed the killing intent within them. He brought his great sword high up into the air to prepare for splitting Jian Chen’s head in two later.
Jian Chen sneered once more; he had no wish to et with the middle aged man. Altering his path, he slid by the man and continued onwards to fight the weaker rcenaries.
But the middle aged man had already taken a loss before from the very sa tactics. He could only see the great sword suddenly change engles in midair as the path was changed with only brute force. Afterwards, the great sword followed behind Jian Chen, swept past his shadow, then continued to slash horizontally toward Jian Chen.
The great sword was definitely fast as well. As it traveled towards Jian Chen’s back, it carried about a strong gust of wind that imdiately cut into Jian Chen’s waist without obstruction.
However there were no signs of a smile on the middle aged man’s face. Instead, his gaze hardened as he realized Jian Chen’s body gradually disappeared. “Mirror image!” He growled.
