At this time, the rest of the Tianxiong Clan members also reacted and immediately took out their Saint Weapons to attack the attacker.
The person wielding the long sword nimbly flipped in the air, dodging the attacks of several people, and gracefully landed on the ground. Following which, the long sword in his hand turned into a sky full of sword shadows, enveloping all of the people from the Tianxiong clan.
When the sword images dissipated, the Tianxiong Clan members fell to the ground one after another. On their necks, there was a faint trace of blood. In the next moment, fresh red blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain.
Jian Chen sheathed his sword and calmly glanced at the members of the Tianxiong clan on the ground. In a low voice, he muttered, "You guys gave me some pretty good news. Over thirty Saint Masters and over two hundred Great Saints. The Tianxiong clan's strength really isn't weak. They actually sent so many people to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to capture me. No wonder they are the number one clan in Wake City."
Pausing, Jianchen went silent for a moment. Then, a cold smile gradually appeared on his face. He whispered, "Since you won't let me go, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll play with you a bit."
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. During these days, Jianchen had been moving around the area, specifically dealing with the Tianxiong Clan members. Although Jianchen wasn't the type to take revenge for the smallest grievance, he wasn't the type to not retaliate. After being bullied to this extent by the Tianxiong Clan, if Jianchen still didn't do something, then he wouldn't be called Jianchen.
In the past few days, the number of Tianxiong Clan members that had died at the hands of Jianchen had reached over two hundred. Among them were ten Saint Masters and the rest were Great Saints. Such heavy losses were difficult for the Tianxiong Clan to bear. It was as if their foundation had been damaged.
Although Tianxiong Lie was well aware of this, he didn't take any measures to remedy the situation. Instead, he constantly sent people from his clan into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to search for traces of Jian Chen. He seemed to have made up his mind to avenge his son, regardless of the price he had to pay.
These days, the entire Wake City was in an uproar because of the matter with the Tianxiong Clan. The Tianxiong Clan had been the overlord of Wake City for over ten years and their reputation was extremely resounding. Almost all of the mercenaries and merchants in Wake City knew of the Tianxiong Clan's name.
The death of the young master of the Tianxiong Clan, Tianxiong Kang, and the fact that Tianxiong Lie had led a group of experts into the Devil Beast Mountain Range to hunt down the killer had caused a sensation in Wake City. This matter had become the topic of discussion among the mercenaries and merchants. At the same time, who was so bold as to dare kill the young master of the Tianxiong Clan? This was also the hot topic of discussion. But regarding the mysterious killer, everyone knew that he was a very young man. Nothing else was known about him.
As for the various clans in Wake City, they were constantly monitoring the situation of the Tianxiong Clan. When they found out that the Tianxiong Clan had lost a large number of people in the Devil Beast Mountain Range, they began to secretly make preparations to take over the Tianxiong Clan's market share.
The business that the Tianxiong Clan controlled in Wake City was extremely large, and many other clans had long since become jealous of them. However, because of the Tianxiong Clan's strength, they didn't dare to act rashly. But now that the Tianxiong Clan had gone through some unforeseen events and was no longer as strong as before, how could the other clans let go of such a good opportunity?
In the Devil Beast Mountain Range, a group of people sat together with frowns on their faces. There were a total of twenty people, and all of them were middle-aged men in their forties.
"Patriarch, if this continues, the situation won't be good. That brat is extremely treacherous, and he clearly has a lot of experience in the forest, far surpassing us. Using the terrain advantage, he has already shaken us off several times. Furthermore, that brat is also extremely strong. When small groups encounter him, they are unable to resist at all, and they are all annihilated. He can even deal with several Saint Masters at the same time. Right now, we have already lost more than half of our people in the Devil Beast Mountain Range. If this continues, the number of people who will be able to leave this place alive can be counted on one hand." A middle-aged man frowned as he spoke, his voice carrying a trace of worry.
"That's right, Patriarch. That brat is truly too cunning. When we gather together, he uses sneak attacks and then retreats. He simply doesn't want to meet us head on. When we scatter, he kills us one by one. Furthermore, he is as agile as a monkey in the forest. We simply can't catch up to him. What do we do now? Among our group, I'm afraid that only you, Patriarch, can pose a threat to that brat." Another middle-aged man spoke, his voice filled with helplessness.
"Patriarch, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. Why don't we retreat for now, and then we can think of a plan." The one who spoke was a skinny man.
"Patriarch, if we lose too many people in the Devil Beast Mountain Range, then it will be very detrimental to our development in Wake City. We can't continue like this."
Tianxiong Lie tightly clenched his fists, his face filled with hesitation. It was clear that he was having an intense struggle in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Tianxiong Lie finally gritted his teeth and unwillingly gave the order, "Order everyone to retreat."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
Hearing the order to retreat, the twenty or so middle-aged men finally let out a happy smile. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. In the past few days of fighting with Jianchen, many of them had almost lost their lives. Fortunately, Tianxiong Lie had arrived in time to save them. Among them, there were already some who had developed feelings of fear towards Jianchen.
Next, each of them took out a firecracker and lit the fuse with a torch. With an ear-piercing whistle, the firecracker flew high into the air before exploding with a deafening boom. It transformed into a large wave of bright red flames that quickly spread out in all directions.
Somewhere in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, several youths around the age of thirty were sitting around a bonfire, roasting a large piece of meat torn from a magical beast.
"Ai, I don't know when the young master's murderer will be caught. Our Tianxiong Clan has lost quite a few people to him these past few days. I heard that there were more than ten Saint Masters."
"Even a Saint Master can be easily killed, let alone us who only have the strength of a Great Saint. I really don't know when we became that person's target."
"I hope we don't meet him. Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to return alive."
Several youths sat in front of the fire and talked with each other. Their expressions were full of worry.
At this moment, a loud sound came from the sky. Hearing the sound, they all looked up at the same time. When they saw the blooming fireworks in the distance through the gaps in the dense foliage, their faces revealed a trace of pleasant surprise.
"That's the signal for our clan to retreat!" Immediately, one of them couldn't help but exclaim.
"We can finally leave this place. What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and leave. Don't tell me you guys want to stay here and be killed by the murderer at any time."
"Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and leave. I don't want to stay here a moment longer."
Then, several people didn't have time to eat and immediately left. Not long after they left, a figure walked out of the forest not far away. That person was wearing animal skin, and his face was like a little cat. It was impossible to see what he looked like.
