Jianchen didn't want to clash head on with the Zhou Mercenary Group's leader. Instead, he leaned to the side and dodged the leader's large sword by a hair's breadth. At the same time, the Light Wind Sword in his hand turned into a silver light and pierced towards the Zhou Mercenary Group's leader.
Although Jianchen's battle prowess wasn't any weaker than a Saint Master's, that was only in terms of battle prowess. In terms of Saint Force, there was still a large gap between him and a Saint Master. If he were to clash head on with the Zhou Mercenary Group's leader, then Jianchen would definitely be at a disadvantage. Without a doubt, that would be a very unwise choice.
Jianchen's greatest advantage was his fast sword. It was so fast that people on the same level as him would never be able to react to it. Even if they were a level higher than him, they would only be able to vaguely catch a glimpse of the sword's shadow. Furthermore, Jianchen's movements were mysterious and unpredictable. Even if he were to meet someone who was stronger than him and had Wind Saint Force, he would still be able to contend with them for a bit.
Against a Saint Master whose Saint Force wasn't much stronger than his own, unless it was absolutely necessary, Jianchen wouldn't use his weakness to clash head on with his opponent's strength.
Seeing that Jianchen's sword was coming towards his throat at an unimaginable speed, the leader's face instantly became incomparably solemn. Immediately after, a large amount of Saint Force surged out from his body. As for himself, he relied on his Saint Force to suddenly rotate his body and move to the side, narrowly dodging Jianchen's fatal strike.
Even though the speed of Jian Chen's sword was very fast, it was still not enough to force the High Level Saint Master leader into a corner. Even so, the Light Wind Sword still managed to leave a shallow white mark on the leader's shoulder armor.
With a flick of his wrist, the Light Wind Sword seemed to have transformed into a nimble little snake. The sharp edge of the sword cut through the air, and with a sweep of the sword, it chased after the leader who was trying to dodge to the side without letting up.
The leader's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. Although he could feel that Jianchen's strength wasn't as high as his own, the speed of the sword was so fast that even with his current strength, he would only be able to dodge it if he used all of his strength. Furthermore, the sword was aimed at his throat, so if he wasn't careful, he could lose his life at any time.
Without the slightest hesitation, the leader raised his greatsword in front of his throat. Just as he was about to block, the Light Wind Sword's sharp edge had already clashed with his greatsword, creating a fierce friction. Although the Light Wind Sword didn't pierce the leader's body, the sharp and powerful Sword Qi coming from the Light Wind Sword was enough to shock the leader. He secretly thought to himself, "What a sharp Sword Qi. What kind of technique does this brat practice? Could it be that he uses a battle skill?" Thinking about a battle skill, the leader's heart couldn't help but burn with passion. He couldn't help but think about how to deal with Jianchen and steal his battle skill. In the Tian Yuan Continent, battle skills were extremely precious, far more precious than cultivation techniques. Even the Zhou Mercenary Group, which was one of the strongest mercenaries in Wake City, didn't have any battle skills, including their leader who was a Great Saint Master.
However, just as the leader was distracted, a strong sense of danger suddenly came over him. He saw a silver-white ray of light expanding in front of his eyes. It was so fast that it was actually two to three times faster than the previous two times. In a short instant, the silver-white ray of light avoided the huge sword that was still blocking in front of the leader and reached his throat. Through this thin ray of light, one could vaguely see the blurry tip of a sharp sword hidden in it.
The leader was horrified. When he reacted, the sword tip that was wrapped in a hazy layer of sword radiance was less than a foot from his throat. Under such a close distance, when faced with this sword that was as fast as lightning, even if the leader had high level Sacred Expert strength, he still couldn't evade in time.
Just as the Light Wind Sword was about to pierce through the leader's throat, another greatsword suddenly cut through the air, bringing with it a piercing sound as it came from the side. Finally, a "Ding!" With a "ding" sound, the greatsword fiercely struck the Light Wind Sword from the side. The Light Wind Sword, which was originally going for the leader's throat, suddenly changed its trajectory and slid past the leader's throat.
The person who suddenly made a move was the second person in the Zhou Mercenary Group who had the strength of a Saint Master.
After slashing apart Jianchen's Light Wind Sword, the person didn't stop at all and once again attacked Jianchen fiercely. At the same time, he shouted at the leader, "Cass, you actually dared to be distracted at a time like this. You bastard, do you want to die?"
Hearing these words, the leader didn't seem to be angry at all. He extended his hand to touch his neck. His face that was hidden behind the helmet instantly turned pale. His forehead was also covered with a layer of fine sweat. Because he could clearly feel that the leather armor around his neck had already cracked open. If it wasn't for the timely assistance of others, his neck wouldn't be as simple as just a crack on the leather armor.
At this time, Jianchen had already exchanged a few blows with the second Saint Master. This person was only a Mid Saint Master and was slightly weaker than the leader of the Zhou Mercenary Group. In just a few short exchanges, he had already been forced back by Jianchen's lightning-fast attacks.
"Cass, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you helping? This brat's sword is too fast. I can't block it anymore. Damn it, why is his speed so abnormal?" Seeing the leader standing there in a daze, the mercenary who was fighting with Jianchen angrily cursed. It was obvious that facing Jianchen's torrential rain of attacks, it was already very difficult for him to block. The armor that covered his body already had many white marks on it. If it wasn't for the fact that the armor's defense was very strong, he would have been injured in many places already. There was no way he could still maintain his good condition.
Hearing this, the leader's eyes narrowed. Holding the greatsword in his right hand, he suddenly released a strong wave of Saint Qi. Then, he raised the greatsword up high and chopped down at Jianchen.
Following the fall of the greatsword, a Sword Qi shot out at an extremely fast speed towards Jianchen.
Jian Chen glanced over and moved slightly, easily dodging the incoming sword Qi. The sword Qi struck a tree behind him with a boom. A hole that was around a meter in diameter had been punched through the thick tree.
At this time, two ear-piercing sounds could be heard. The two Saint Masters from the Zhou Mercenary Group had already attacked at the same time. Their greatswords carried a strong wave of Saint Qi as they cut through the air.
Jianchen's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Facing the two greatswords, he didn't even try to dodge. Instead, the Light Wind Sword's hazy glow became even denser. Then, it turned into a sky full of afterimages that collided with the two greatswords in midair.
"Ding ding ding …."
The sound of metal colliding rang out. In an instant, Jianchen had already stabbed out eighteen times at an extremely fast speed. Every time he stabbed out, he would accurately hit the two greatswords.
The eighteen swords pierced out, forcefully blocking the two swords. Furthermore, every time the swords collided with the Light Wind Sword, a powerful force would be transmitted from the Light Wind Sword, causing the two men's arms to tremble violently. When the power of the eighteen swords converged together, it formed a powerful force that could not be ignored. The strong rebounding force had already caused the two men's arms to become completely numb, and their right hands that were holding onto the Light Wind Sword had already ruptured.
Feeling the numbness in their right arms, the two men looked at each other in shock. At this moment, they both felt the urge to retreat. After this exchange, the two men were very clear that although Jianchen's strength was not as good as theirs, the terrifying strength that he displayed was something that even if the two of them worked together, it would still be very difficult for them to block. Especially that lightning-fast sword, they had to be extremely vigilant in order to guard against it. If they weren't careful, they would lose their lives. If this continued, they were afraid that both of them would die here today.
"Captain Kasa, the baby beast is in our hands."
When they heard this, those two individuals with Sacred Expert strength turned around, only to see a mercenary whose entire body was wrapped in a layer of armor currently holding a young beast. Meanwhile, the young beast was continuously struggling in his hands, its four claws waving about randomly in the air, releasing tender cries from its mouth. At the same time, it was cute, but also a bit pitiful.
Seeing this, the two men's eyes revealed a trace of joy. However, at this moment, a silver longsword pierced towards the leader's throat at an extremely fast speed. This time, by the time the leader sensed it, it was already too late for him to take any defensive measures. The other Saint Master level mercenary was also too late to save him. The sharp sword tip pierced through the leather protection of the leader's throat and pierced deeply into his throat.
"Kasa!" The other mercenary also came back to his senses. However, when he saw the leader's throat being pierced, his eyes immediately became bloodshot. He roared out angrily and powerful Saint Force gathered on his huge sword. He swung it towards Jianchen.
Jianchen didn't even look at him. He stomped on the ground and shot towards the mercenary holding the baby beast like a cannonball.
Seeing the person who killed captain Kasa, who was a high level Saint, charging towards him, the mercenary's face changed greatly. He didn't believe he could stop an expert who could easily kill a high level Saint Master. However, the mercenary was clearly not stupid. He immediately threw the baby beast in his hand. The direction he threw it was towards the remaining Saint Master fighting with Jianchen.
"Captain Klos, catch!"
The baby beast was thrown high into the air. It drew a perfect arc in the air and accurately landed in the arms of the Saint Master mercenary.
Looking at the Class 5 baby beast that was less than a foot long in his arms, the mercenary called captain Klos quickly calmed down from his furious state. He didn't hesitate at all and immediately shouted, "Everyone, retreat immediately."
"Roar!"
