With regards to Jianchen's strength, the entire Flame Mercenary Group felt that he was only a Saint. After all, Jianchen's mercenary badge was only D rank. Moreover, the most important factor was that Jianchen was just too young. In the Tian Yuan Continent, becoming a Saint at the age of twenty was already a very bright future. They really couldn't imagine that Jianchen, who looked to be in his early twenties, would actually have the strength to easily kill a second rank magical beast. Moreover, there was another reason. Among everyone present, besides Kendall who saw a blurry sword shadow, no one else was able to see how or when Jianchen had killed the black tiger.
Kendall's gaze lingered on the slender Light Wind Sword in Jianchen's hand for a while before he calmed down. He smiled and said, "Since you don't believe me, then go and ask Jianchen yourself." Kendall's tone actually carried a trace of excitement. His group had gained another expert, how could he not be excited?
Xiao Dao was the first to be unable to hold back and immediately walked in front of Jianchen. He first looked at Jianchen from head to toe before his gaze landed on the bloodless Light Wind Sword in his hand. He then said, "Jianchen, you have to be honest with me. Did you kill this black tiger?"
Jian Chen nodded slightly when he saw Xiao Dao's face filled with both anticipation and disbelief. He said, "That's right, it's me." Jian Chen did not plan on hiding his strength at all, so he straightforwardly told him the truth.
"Wah, no way!" Xiao Dao's eyes widened as he looked at Jianchen in disbelief. He cried out in alarm, "Jianchen, did you really kill this second rank magical beast? How did you kill it? Why didn't I see it?"
Hearing Xiao Dao's words, everyone except Kendall stared at him. They also felt that it was very strange how Jianchen had killed the magical beast. This was because when the black tiger was about to pounce on Jianchen, Jianchen's body suddenly took a step to the side and a slender long sword appeared in his hand. As for how Jianchen had killed the black tiger, not a single one of them had noticed.
Among everyone present, there was only one person who looked at Jianchen differently, and that was Kabudders. Kabudders looked at Jianchen with an expression that said, "Just as I expected."
Jianchen's face revealed a trace of a bitter smile as he raised the Light Wind Sword in his hand and said, "I killed it with my own Saint Weapon. As for why you didn't see it, that's because I was faster."
Hearing Jianchen's words, Kendall recalled the flash of white light and couldn't help but feel a burst of fear. This was because he couldn't help but admit that Jianchen's sword was too fast. It was so fast that he could only catch a blurry image of the sword. At this moment, Kendall couldn't help but think to himself, "If I were to face this lightning fast sword, would I be able to successfully dodge or block it without suffering any injuries?"
Chang Ningfeng looked at the black tiger's corpse at his feet and immediately kicked the black tiger's body, causing it to roll over. He then stretched out his hand to push aside the black tiger's head, revealing the wound on its neck.
But when everyone saw the fatal wound on the black tiger's neck, everyone, including Kendall, sucked in a breath of cold air. This was because this wound was too deep. Two-thirds of the entire neck had been cut off, leaving only a third of the neck connected to the head. Just a little bit more and the black tiger's head would've been cut off.
What was even more unimaginable to them was that the black tiger was clearly making a forward motion, and its body was gliding in the air at a high speed. But under the black tiger's speed, Jianchen was actually able to clearly grasp the fatal point of the black tiger's throat and attack it. Just this alone wasn't something that anyone present could do.
Dier took a deep breath and slowly calmed the shock in his heart. He looked at Jianchen with a complicated gaze, then a trace of a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Jianchen, we originally thought that you only had the strength of a Saint. But now it seems that the situation is far from what we imagined. You really hid it from us all."
Hu Po also came to Jianchen. He stretched out a wide palm and fiercely slapped Jianchen's shoulder. He loudly said, "Jianchen, you're too much. Tell me honestly, what stage of strength have you reached? You can't be stronger than the commander, right?"
Hearing Hu Po's words, Jianchen helplessly smiled and said, "Brother Hu Po, I'm not as strong as you say. My current strength is only about the same as yours, an intermediate Great Saint."
"That's not right. How can an intermediate Great Saint kill a Class 2 Magical Beast so easily?" Hu Po softly murmured before raising his head again. Just when he wanted to continue asking, Jianchen suddenly said, "Let's deal with the magical beast's corpse quickly. We'll talk about other matters later."
Even though everyone still had many doubts, they did not voice them. They began to deal with the black tiger's corpse.
"This Black Tiger is so powerful. Its strength should be at the peak of Tier 2, just one step away from Tier 3. After taking out the Demon Core, put the Black Tiger's corpse in a bag as well. We should be able to sell it for quite a bit of money," Captain KD instructed.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, aside from the most common type of beef, most people ate the meat of magical beasts. Not only was the meat of magical beasts tender and delicious, it could also strengthen the body. As a result, the corpses of magical beasts were highly sought after on the Tian Yuan Continent. In particular, the corpses of high class magical beasts were always in short supply.
Jianchen put the Breeze Sword away and stood to the side as he silently watched the Flame Mercenaries put the black tiger's corpse in a large bag. Jianchen naturally did not care about the corpse of a Class 2 Magical Beast. After all, he could easily kill Class 2 or even Class 3 Magical Beasts. In Jianchen's hands, these magical beasts had basically lost all ability to escape. However, the Flame Mercenaries were different. Even though they had a Saint Master, their overall battle prowess was far inferior to Jianchen's. With the Flame Mercenaries' strength, killing a peak Class 2 Magical Beast was already very difficult. Moreover, if it were not for Jianchen stopping the black tiger when it tried to escape, they really would not have been able to catch up to it. After all, magical beasts were like fish in water in the forest. If humans wanted to move in the forest, they would be greatly restricted by the environment.
At this moment, Jianchen's ears twitched slightly. He suddenly raised his head and looked to the side. Soon after, the weeds where Jianchen was looking began to sway violently. Soon after, over twenty mercenaries wearing helmets and armor appeared in front of Jianchen. They were armed to the teeth.
When the fully armed mercenaries appeared in front of them, the members of the Flame Mercenaries stopped what they were doing. They all vigilantly stared at the twenty or so mercenaries in front of them with nervous expressions.
The leader of the twenty or so fully armed mercenaries swept his cold gaze over the members of the Blaze Mercenary Group. His gaze then paused on the black tiger's corpse, half of which was already in his pocket. In the end, he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, "Let's go!" With that, the leader led the twenty or so fully armed mercenaries and passed through the Flame Mercenaries without looking sideways. In the end, they disappeared into the forest. They did not even look at the members of the Flame Mercenaries.
"That's the Zhou Mercenaries. I never thought that I would actually meet them here." After the group of fully armed mercenaries left, Hu Po muttered to himself.
"Big Brother Hu Po, is the Zhou Mercenaries very famous?" Jianchen asked.
Hearing this, Hu Po nodded and said, "Although the Zhou Mercenary Group's strength isn't the strongest in Wake City, they are definitely in the top ten of the mercenary groups that reside in Wake City. Their group has a total of fifty people, and their leader is a High Rank Saint Master. They also have six Low Rank Saint Masters and twenty Great Saints under them. Their strength can be said to be extremely strong and definitely isn't something that our Raging Flame Mercenary Group can provoke. Moreover, the Zhou Mercenary Group has the support of one of Wake City's great families, the Zhou Family. In Wake City, there aren't many powers that dare to offend the Zhou Mercenary Group."
"Oh!" Jianchen looked in the direction that the Zhou Mercenaries had disappeared in and did not take it to heart.
"Jianchen, if you meet other mercenaries in the Magical Beast Mountain Range in the future, you must be extremely careful. In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, murders and robberies are a common occurrence. Although some people wear the sign of mercenaries, their actions are even worse than bandits." Kendall walked in front of Jianchen and said with a serious expression.
Seeing Kendall's serious expression, Jianchen nodded and said, "I will be careful."
At this time, the black tiger's corpse had been put into their spatial belts. Kendall ordered, "Right now, there are already Second Rank Magical Beasts roaming around here. If we go deeper, we might encounter even more powerful Third Rank Magical Beasts. Therefore, we will continue to wander around this area."
After that, Kendall and Dier bandaged their wounds. Fortunately, the wounds on their bodies were not deep and did not have much effect on their strength. When everything was ready, the group continued on their way, all of them vigilantly observing their surroundings.
When the group had just walked for a while, Jianchen once again discovered traces of a Magical Beast. However, the situation this time was the same as before. This Magical Beast used the forest as a cover and stopped about ten meters away from the mercenaries for a while before quietly retreating.
Jianchen frowned as he pondered. He really did not understand what was going on. Along the way, other than killing a Black Tiger with the strength of a Second Rank Magical Beast, he had discovered traces of close to ten other Magical Beasts. However, these Magical Beasts did not jump out and attack them like the Black Tiger.
