Although Wake City wasn't a large third grade city and didn't have many residents, it was still very prosperous due to its proximity to the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Every day, there would be a large number of people coming in and out of the city.
On the main street of Wake City, there were many small vendors and stalls on both sides of the street. There were also a few small shops selling all kinds of goods. Of course, among these shops, restaurants and lodging were the most popular. In the middle of the street, there was an endless stream of mercenaries and merchants with large carts of goods. From the discussions of the pedestrians that passed by, the entire street was filled with noise, making Wake City even more bustling than before.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of the street. Then, a young man whose clothes were stained with blood ran over at an extremely fast speed. The youth's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. They all looked at the youth and pointed at him as they discussed in low voices.
"Whoever stops the person running in front will be heavily rewarded by the Tianxiong clan."
At the same time, a loud shout came from far behind. As soon as the voice fell, a few middle-aged men with slightly messy clothes rushed from behind. They chased after the young man in front of them at a speed that was not much slower than the young man in front of them.
"Tianxiong clan, they are actually people from the Tianxiong clan …"
"The Tianxiong clan is the number one clan in Wake City. I don't want to provoke anyone who dares to offend the Tianxiong clan in Wake City."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, many of the mercenaries began to discuss in low voices. However, none of them stepped forward to stop the youth who was running away.
This youth was none other than Jian Chen, who had just killed the young master of the Tianxiong clan and his many guards and was planning to flee.
Jianchen quickly ran in the direction of the city gates. Along the way, whenever he encountered any obstacles, he would immediately leap onto the roofs and vault over the walls. His speed could be said to be extremely fast. Even so, the Saint Experts chasing him still followed closely behind him. However, due to Jianchen's profound movement technique, he had the advantage in speed. Thus, even though the middle-aged men were much stronger than Jianchen, they were still unable to catch up to him. Unless one of them had Wind Saint Force or was an expert at the Great Saint Realm, their speed could only keep up with Jianchen's. Moreover, if they encountered any obstacles in front of them, they would not be able to move as casually as Jianchen did.
Although Wake City was a small third grade city, the area it occupied was not small. Even if Jianchen ran with all his might to the nearest city gate, it would still take him at least an incense stick's worth of time.
Jianchen's breathing gradually became heavy as he ran with all his might. The previous intense battle had consumed a lot of his Saint Force. Furthermore, he was currently injured. Running at full speed put a huge burden on his body. Furthermore, the intense movement of his body had affected his injuries. The waves of pain that came from his injuries were a severe test for Jianchen's nerves.
In front of him, the tall and majestic city walls were faintly visible. It was so beautiful that he could even vaguely make out the soldiers standing on top of them. Right now, he was less than five kilometers away from Wake City's walls. As for the Saint Experts of the Tianxiong clan, they were already fifty meters away from Jianchen.
Seeing the city walls in front of him becoming clearer and clearer, Jianchen couldn't help but relax a bit. However, his speed didn't decrease in the slightest. In his heart, he was clear that the Tianxiong clan's influence in Wake City was enormous. With his current strength, he wasn't strong enough to face the entire Tianxiong clan head on. Right now, the only thing he could do was to escape from Wake City. Only then would he be able to minimize the danger.
"Roar!"
Right at this moment, the long roar of a Magical Beast came from far behind. As soon as the roar sounded, an unconcealable roar of extreme anger could be heard.
"Stop the person in front of me and I, Tianxiong Lie, will reward you handsomely."
Jian Chen's face changed slightly when he heard the furious roar from behind. With his experience, he could tell just how powerful the person was from the roar. It was definitely not someone he could contend against.
"Tianxiong Lie, he must also be a member of the Tianxiong clan." Jianchen secretly thought to himself. His running speed actually increased by a bit.
When the mercenaries and merchants on the streets heard Tianxiong Lie's angry roar, their expressions froze.
"Tianxiong Lie, isn't he the current head of the Tianxiong clan in Wake City?"
"Someone who dares to offend the Tianxiong clan in Wake City and is being personally chased by Tianxiong Lie can't be weak. Forget it, I've only just reached the Great Saint realm, so it's best if I don't get involved."
"The Tianxiong clan is the number one power in Wake City. If I can stop the person running away, I'm sure Tianxiong Lie will reward me handsomely. Who knows, he might even be able to befriend the Tianxiong clan. That would be a great fortune for me."
Some of the mercenaries who were familiar with Wake City immediately recognized Tianxiong Lie's identity, and began to whisper amongst themselves. Among them, there were many who were confident in their own strength, and were already thinking about the benefits they could get from this battle.
Tianxiong Lie's prestige and influence in Wake City wasn't low. As soon as he spoke, he immediately moved the hearts of many mercenaries. Seeing Jianchen quickly running towards them from afar, a few of them immediately took out their Saint Weapons and blocked Jianchen's path.
With someone taking the lead, many more mercenaries also took out their Saint Weapons and joined the group blocking Jianchen's path. These people clearly couldn't resist the temptation of Tianxiong Lie's generous reward. After all, the Tianxiong clan was the number one clan in Wake City.
Seeing the people blocking his path, Jianchen's expression immediately became serious. However, his speed was also extremely fast. In just two breaths of time, he had already closed in on them.
Just as Jianchen closed in, a few of the mercenaries took the initiative to charge towards Jianchen with their Saint Weapons.
Jianchen didn't want to be entangled with them. Instead, he fiercely stomped on the ground and leapt into the air, avoiding the people who were charging towards him. Then, he used the tips of his feet to tap on the buildings on both sides of the street and fly over the heads of the people who were charging towards him.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Immediately, a few of the people who reacted quickly leapt high into the air. Their Saint Weapons were infused with Saint Force as they mercilessly slashed towards Jianchen.
A dense killing intent flashed through Jianchen's eyes as he suddenly turned around. The silver-white Light Wind Sword appeared in his right hand and transformed into a blur as it shot out like lightning.
"Ding ding ding ding!"
