Looking at the fallen War Behemoth, the faces of the surrounding Loyal Mercenaries suddenly became sluggish. At this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and stood there stiffly. Their eyes stared blankly at the War Behemoth that fell on the ground with blood flowing out of its forehead. Their faces were full of disbelief.
The War Beast in front of them had the strength of a Class 4 Magical Beast. Its powerful defense was something they had experienced firsthand. Even a Great Saint Master would find it difficult to injure it. Even an Earth Saint Master would have to use a powerful Battle Skill to kill it. However, at this moment, the defensive beast in front of them was actually killed by a young man in his early twenties. How could they not be shocked? Especially since this young man was one of the people who went to Wake City with their caravan.
Only now did the members of the Loyal Spirit Mercenary Group realize that the youth who had followed them to Wake City was actually a powerhouse who didn't reveal his true strength.
Jianchen did not pay attention to the shocked members of the Loyal Mercenary Group. At this moment, his heart was in turmoil. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. The power of the Azure Sword Qi was just too strong. Even though Jianchen had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked by the power of the Azure Sword Qi.
Jianchen had tested the War Beast's defense before. From the first strike, he could tell that even if he used all of his strength, it would be very difficult to break through the War Beast's defense and cause any substantial damage. In order to injure it, perhaps only an Earth Saint Master would be able to do so. However, in front of the Azure Sword Qi, such a strong defense was as weak as tofu. It was so weak that when Jianchen's Light Wind Sword pierced the War Beast's head, he did not feel the slightest bit of resistance.
At this moment, Jianchen finally understood just how terrifying the Azure Sword Qi was. Although the strength of the Azure Sword Qi was closely related to the Azure Sword Spirit, even if the Azure Sword Spirit was incomparably weak, the Azure Sword Qi it contained was still terrifying.
At this moment, Jianchen suddenly felt that he already had the strength to fight an Earth Saint Master.
"The war beasts are dead …"
"Oh heavens, the War Behemoth was actually killed. That's a War Behemoth that reached the fourth rank …"
After a while, someone finally returned to their senses. They all cried out in shock. Afterwards, the way they looked at Jianchen completely changed. Quite a few gazes of admiration were cast on Jianchen.
The leader of the Loyal Mercenary Group, Herdoff, took a deep breath and looked at the huge body of the War Behemoth. He stood up and looked at Jianchen with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a while, he finally walked over.
"Jianchen, I didn't think that you were such a hidden expert. Ai, it's really hard to believe. At your age, you actually have the strength to kill a War Behemoth. However, I still have to represent the Loyal Mercenary Group to thank you for helping us solve this big problem." Herdoff looked at Jianchen with a complicated expression and said in a very sincere tone.
Hearing this, Jianchen gradually recovered from his shock. He smiled at Herdoff and said, "It's just a small matter. Leader, you don't have to be so polite. Moreover, since we're going the same way, I should help out a little if we meet any problems along the way."
Jianchen and Herdoff politely exchanged a few words before going off to do other things. The Loyal Mercenary Group also split into two groups. One group went to repair the damaged carriage, while the other went to deal with the War Behemoth's body.
Although the mercenaries wanted to transport the War Behemoth's corpse and sell it, they were helpless as the War Behemoth's body was just too big and heavy. They couldn't move it at all, so they could only unwillingly abandon it in the wilderness. In the end, Jian Chen had to take the monster core out of its body.
The damaged carriage was repaired very quickly. After that, the group once again set out on their journey to Wake City. However, Jianchen was now sitting on the best mount in the group. The owner of the goods, Mr. Harry, followed beside Jianchen with a charming smile on his face as he tried to befriend Jianchen.
At this moment, Herdoff's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment before saying to Jianchen, "Jianchen, you look so young. You must have just come to the Tian Yuan Continent."
Jianchen nodded slightly, "Yes, that's right. I've only been out for 2-3 years."
"Then are you willing to join our Loyal Mercenary Group? We may not be powerful, but we're all very united. At the same time, we've roamed the Tian Yuan Continent for many years now, so we're extremely experienced. We'll be able to familiarize you with the continent faster if you stay with us. After all, the Tian Yuan Continent is extremely dangerous. A few bald and inexperienced experts will suffer quite a few hidden losses." Herdoff stared at Jianchen with a hopeful look. After seeing Jianchen's strength, he wanted to rope him in.
Jianchen smiled apologetically, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I've already joined the mercenary group."
"Oh, that's really a pity." Herdoff's face was filled with disappointment. After a slight pause, he casually said, "Since Jianchen has taken a fancy to this mercenary group, it must be very strong."
Jianchen bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Including me, there are only two people in our mercenary group, and I am the leader."
Hearing this, Herdoff stared at Jianchen with a strange expression. He didn't say anything else and lowered his head in thought.
The caravan slowly moved towards Wake City. On the way, Jianchen's position in the mercenary group had completely changed. Everyone was extremely respectful to him, far surpassing Herdoff. Even Herdoff's attitude towards Jianchen had become much more intimate.
The rest of the journey was very peaceful. After traveling for three days, the caravan finally arrived at the border of Wake City. From here, Jian Chen could already see the Magical Beast Mountain Range, which was only twenty kilometers away from Wake City.
In front of them, the tall walls of Wake City could be clearly seen. Compared to a year ago, Wake City didn't seem to have changed in the slightest. The only difference was that there were many more soldiers standing guard on the walls, and there were also many more guards guarding the gates compared to the last time Jianchen was here.
Looking at the old walls that had been washed by the passage of time, Jianchen couldn't help but recall the time when he was chased by the Tianxiong Clan and was forced to flee.
