"That's not right, that's just an afterimage."
Following a cry of surprise, Jianchen's figure slowly faded until it completely disappeared from the air. At the same time, five meters away, Jianchen's figure strangely appeared.
In that instant, other than the few Saint Masters who could vaguely see Jianchen's figure, no one else could see Jianchen's movements.
Although the large man was shocked by Jianchen's speed, he was still an experienced fighter. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he swung his machete once again at Jianchen. The sharp blade cut through the air, creating a "sou!" sound.
Jianchen stood there expressionlessly, his hands empty. The Light Wind Sword had already disappeared from his hands. The moment the large man made his move, Jianchen softly said, "You've already lost."
Hearing this, the large man froze for a moment. Jianchen's words caused him to subconsciously stop his movements. Looking at Jianchen with a confused expression, he asked, "I've lost? How did I lose? "
Seeing the large man's confused expression, Jianchen couldn't help but smile and say, "Touch your neck."
Hearing this, the burly man subconsciously reached out his hand to touch his neck. From the contact between his fingers and his skin, he could clearly feel that an extremely small wound had appeared on his neck. This wound was very small, just enough to cut through the very thin outermost layer of his skin. Not even a drop of blood flowed out, and he didn't feel the slightest pain.
Feeling the small wound on his neck, the large man's face immediately paled. His forehead was already covered in cold sweat as he stared at Jianchen in disbelief. With a trembling voice, he said, "This … this was caused by you?" The burly man didn't even know when the tiny wound on his neck that he couldn't even feel the slightest bit of pain had appeared. Furthermore, he also understood that if the wound had been any deeper, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand here right now.
Jianchen smiled and nodded, "Now, do you still want to continue fighting with me?"
"Big Tiger, back down. You are not the leader's opponent. If the leader wanted to kill you, you would already be dead." Duo Kang who was standing in the crowd said. Looking at Jianchen, he actually had a rare look of admiration. Although the weapon he was using wasn't a sword, Duo Kang knew that Jianchen's control of the sword had already reached a godly level.
"Yes!" This large man was originally a member of the Golden Dragon Mercenaries, and Duo Kang was his former leader. Duo Kang's words were equivalent to an imperial edict to him. Moreover, from the wound on his neck, it was clear that if Jianchen wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to stand there anymore.
Jianchen's gaze swept across the rest of the people and said, "Now, if anyone wants to challenge me, I will still say the same thing. If anyone can defeat me, I will hand over the position of leader to them. I will not go back on my words."
The entire courtyard was silent. The people who had been arguing about Jianchen becoming their leader no longer made any sounds of opposition. That large man was a high level Saint Master. This kind of strength was already considered quite good in Wake City. However, in Jianchen's eyes, this kind of strength was actually so weak that he couldn't even take a single blow from Jianchen. Just based on this point alone, most of the mercenaries had already approved of Jianchen.
Sweeping his sharp gaze across the crowd, Jianchen revealed a trace of a victorious smile and said loudly, "Since no one is speaking, then from today onwards, you are all members of the Raging Flame Mercenaries, and I am the leader of the Raging Flame Mercenaries. Does anyone have any objections?" Jianchen practically shouted the last sentence.
"I have no objections. In the future, I, Duo Kang, will follow the leader's orders." Duo Kang of the Golden Dragon Mercenaries was the first to speak.
"I have no objections either. In the future, I, Seth, will follow the leader's orders." Seth of the Raging Flame Mercenaries also spoke.
Afterward, the leaders of the other mercenaries all expressed their allegiance to Jianchen. When the mercenaries of the five mercenaries saw that their leaders had all submitted, they naturally didn't have any objections. They all accepted Jianchen as their leader.
Afterward, Jianchen brought Seth, Duo Kang, Chalka, Mo Tian, and Qing Feng, the five Saint Masters, and the over a hundred mercenaries they had brought with them. They majestically left the Kai Clan's courtyard and headed towards the Mercenary Union.
Only by having these people officially join the Raging Flame Mercenaries would they be able to bring glory to the mercenaries when they completed missions. This was the only way to quickly raise the level of the mercenaries.
Since Jianchen was determined to have the Raging Flame Mercenaries become the number one mercenary group in the Tian Yuan Continent, then the mercenaries' levels were essential. This was the first step towards his grand dream, and at the same time, it was also the beginning of fulfilling Uncle Kendall's final wishes.
Over a hundred people walked on the street. Among them were five Saint Masters who had a certain amount of fame in Wake City. Very quickly, Jianchen's group caused a commotion on the street. All the passersby stopped to look at Jianchen's group. When they recognized Duo Kang and the other four Saint Masters, they all revealed looks of surprise and excitement. They all began to whisper to each other.
Duo Kang and the other four Saint Masters were absolute experts in Wake City. Moreover, each of them led a mercenary group of over a hundred people. In Wake City, they could be considered quite powerful. Normally, they wouldn't be seen in public, but now that the five of them were walking together, they naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. As for Jianchen, who was walking in front of Duo Kang and the other four, he also became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone was secretly guessing at Jianchen's identity.
However, what they didn't know was that Duo Kang and the others had already disbanded their original mercenary group.
The procedures didn't take long. When Jianchen and the other four left the Mercenary Union, their identities had completely changed. They had gone from being the leaders of a mercenary group to being ordinary members of a C rank mercenary group.
At the same time, the Raging Flame Mercenary Group had developed into a medium-sized mercenary group with over a hundred and sixty people. Apart from Jianchen, there were also seven Saint Masters and sixty Saint Masters in the group. Although they didn't have a lot of people, they had already become the number one power in Wake City. Perhaps only the city lord's mansion, which had at least two hundred thousand city guards, could completely suppress the Raging Flame Mercenary Group.
At the same time, the news of Seth's group of five joining an unknown mercenary group spread like wildfire from the Mercenary Union. Very quickly, this news shook the entire Wake City, and the Blazing Mercenary Group, a name that no one had ever heard of before, spread like wildfire throughout Wake City.
Jianchen's group didn't care about how big of a commotion this news would cause in Wake City. After all, this was already within their expectations.
After finishing the procedures, Jianchen's group didn't stay outside for too long and immediately returned to the Kai Clan's courtyard.
In the spacious courtyard, over a hundred people were quietly sitting on the ground. After Jianchen casually explained a few things, he took out a spatial belt and tossed it to Kyle. "There are some monster cores in here. Distribute them to everyone. Cancel all activities for the next few days and focus on increasing your strength. Make sure you're in peak condition in order to deal with the incoming wave of magical beasts."
Kyle took the spatial belt from Jianchen's hands and ordered a servant to distribute it to everyone.
Jian Chen then took out seven Class 4 Monster Cores, each the size of a child's fist, and threw them at the Great Saint Masters. He said, "You guys should quickly increase your strength in the next two days. Increase as much as you can. There will be Class 5 Magical Beasts in this wave of magical beasts."
The Great Saint Masters had just reached out to grab the monster cores when they heard Jianchen's last sentence. Their expressions immediately changed. Charles couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "What? This time, there will be a fifth rank magical beast appearing?"
Jianchen's expression was a bit grave as he nodded. "That's right. There will indeed be a fifth rank magical beast. It seems like this wave of magical beasts won't be that easy to defend."
Everyone's expressions became unsightly after hearing Jianchen's words. There were even a few people whose faces had turned pale from the fear of a fifth rank magical beast.
"Captain, a fifth rank magical beast isn't that easy to deal with. This time, I'm afraid that Wake City will face a great disaster. We might not even be able to protect the entire city. I think we should leave as soon as possible." A person with a smaller stature spoke. His voice was trembling, and he didn't hide his fear of a fifth rank magical beast at all.
Hearing this, Jianchen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up. There's no need for everyone to be so worried about the fifth rank magical beast appearing this time. I should be able to deal with it."
Jianchen's words shook the minds of over a hundred people. Quite a few of them looked at Jianchen with eyes filled with shock and disbelief. Jianchen's words were interpreted by almost everyone as another way to reveal his strength. However, for Jianchen to possess such great strength at such a young age was hard to believe. At this moment, a strange thought appeared in everyone's minds at the same time. "Could it be that he started cultivating in his mother's womb?"
After being shocked for a while, the people of the Flame Mercenaries all revealed excited expressions. Even on the Tian Yuan Continent, an Earth Saint Master could be considered an expert. Their captain was actually an Earth Saint Master. The new members of the Flame Mercenaries were almost certain that it would be difficult for their mercenary group to not soar in the future.
The Great Saint Masters also revealed expressions of relief. No wonder Jianchen was able to fight nine Great Saint Masters alone and not lose. Instead, he was able to easily kill two of them. His strength had already reached the level of an Earth Saint Master.
