Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He couldn't help but take a good look at Jianchen. With a smile, he said, "So you are Jianchen. It seems that the rumors are true. You really do look to be in your twenties."
Jianchen's gaze swept over Duo Kang's group of five. When he saw the wounds on their chests, his expression became even more gloomy. In a deep voice, he said, "People of the Xia Clan, why are you looking for me?"
Jianchen's attitude caused the middle-aged man to frown. He then snorted and coldly said, "Jianchen, it is our Xia Clan's first young master who is looking for you. Why aren't you greeting him?"
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage flipped and a young man in a luxurious white robe slowly walked out from within the carriage. The young man had a slender figure and was around 27 or 28 years old. He had a dignified appearance and was handsome and unrestrained. He held an expensive folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it, giving him an elegant demeanor.
"First Young Master!"
"First Young Master!"
… …
The young man clearly had a very high status in the Xia Clan. When he appeared, the middle-aged men around the carriage all bowed respectfully.
The young man didn't look sideways and directly walked into the Kai Clan's courtyard. Behind him, there were several sturdy middle-aged men. Their fierce eyes scanned the surroundings. Their expressions were full of vigilance as they protected the young man's safety.
The young man's gaze fell on Jianchen. His eyes carried a sharp look as he stared at Jianchen's handsome face. With a light smile, he said, "You are Jianchen? You are indeed a man of striking appearance. "
Jianchen's gaze swept over the middle-aged men beside the Xia Clan's first young master. Their strength was clear at a glance. Three Great Saint Masters, five high level Saint Masters, and a middle-aged man with a deep understanding of water attribute Saint Force. With such a lineup, there was no power in Wake City that could compare to it.
Jianchen coldly snorted and said, "Young Master Xia, state your intentions."
Young Master Xia chuckled, "You're indeed a straightforward person. Alright, I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point." Young master Xia paused, and he immediately became rather stern, "Jianchen, I know you have two Class 5 Monster Cores. I've come this time specifically to buy them from you."
"Sorry, I'm not selling Tier 5 Monster Cores!" Jianchen rejected without any hesitation.
He continued, "Jianchen, keeping a Class 5 Monster Core with you will only bring you trouble, or even cause you to lose your life. Although you are the leader of a mercenary group and have a few Great Saint Masters under you, it is still not enough to protect a Class 5 Monster Core. A Class 5 Monster Core can attract Earth Saint Masters to fight over it. You simply do not have the ability to possess it. It's better if you sell it to us. This way, not only can you obtain a large sum of money, you can also avoid some trouble."
"Sorry, I've already said that I'm not selling Tier 5 Monster Cores to anyone." Jianchen still said the same sentence, his expression extremely cold.
Young master Xia's gaze turned cold, but he immediately hid it and smiled, "Jianchen, I'll give you three days to consider. After three days, I'll come here again. Of course, during this time, don't try to escape. Otherwise, it will only provoke the goodwill of our Xia family. You should know the consequences of that. Let's go." With that, young master Xia turned and left.
Seeing that the Xia family was about to leave, Jianchen's gaze immediately became sharp. He coldly snorted and shouted, "Wait!"
Young master Xia stopped and turned back to look at Jianchen with a smile, "What, did you change your mind?"
Jianchen stared at the middle-aged man who had injured Duo Kang and the other four. He pointed at him and said, "They can leave, but you have to stay."
Hearing this, young master Xia's expression slightly changed, while a trace of surprise flashed through the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Jianchen, what do you mean by this?" Young master Xia had already sensed Jianchen's hostility, and his expression immediately became somewhat gloomy. In the small Wake City, no one dared to challenge the Xia family's authority.
Jianchen's face revealed a trace of a cold smile, "Do you really think that this is your Xia family's backyard? That you can come and go as you please. Since you've injured my men, don't even think about leaving today."
"Pa!" Young master Xia fiercely slapped the fan in his hand, no longer able to maintain his calm and composure. He angrily said, "How dare you, Jianchen, do you know who you're talking to?"
Jianchen turned a deaf ear to young master Xia's angry shouts, and only stared fiercely at the middle-aged man who had injured Duo Kang and the other four.
The middle-aged man seemed to be amused, and could not help but reveal a trace of a smile on his face. Even though he had previously heard that Jianchen was not weak, he was after all still too young. Furthermore, the middle-aged man had absolute confidence in his own strength, and he really did not put Jianchen in his eyes.
"Jianchen, could it be that you want to punish me? I wonder, how exactly do you want to punish me?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, his tone full of disdain.
"Kill!" Jianchen's face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He would never let go of those who provoked him. Furthermore, just now, if he had not appeared in time, Duo Kang and the other four would have suffered even more severe injuries. Furthermore, in front of so many brothers of the Blazing Flame Mercenaries, he had to be firm in his actions. If he showed weakness, it would be hard to avoid repercussions. This was because even though the Blazing Flame Mercenaries' strength was not weak, how many of them were dead set on following him?
"Jianchen, you're courting death!" Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, young master Xia could not help but angrily shout. His expression had already become extremely ugly as he stared coldly at Jianchen, the intense killing intent in his eyes undisguised.
Jianchen's words in front of him clearly showed that he did not put the Xia family in his eyes at all. How could young master Xia endure this? Moreover.
At this moment, the gazes of all the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenaries were gathered on Jianchen, many of them secretly giving him a thumbs up. Jianchen's actions had moved many of them. Many of them had originally been subordinates of Duo Kang and the others. Although they appeared to be inferior to Duo Kang and the others on the surface, they were secretly a group of close friends who had gone through life and death together. Their relationship was as close as brothers, otherwise they would not have joined the Blazing Flame Mercenaries with Duo Kang and the others. Now that Duo Kang and the others were being bullied, they were also incomparably furious. However, the strength of their opponent was not something they could deal with. Now, they had placed all their hopes of redeeming themselves on Jianchen.
The middle-aged man laughed from extreme anger. He slowly crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, "Good! Good! Good! Jianchen, your courage is commendable. However, you have to see who you're talking to. Otherwise, you'll only be humiliating yourself. Since you want to kill me, then do it. Let me see if you're as strong as the rumors say. "
"Hmph, Uncle Liu, it looks like we don't need to spend money to buy the two fifth step monster cores in Jianchen's hands." Young master Xia sneered from the side.
"That's right, young master is right. Now we can save a lot of money." The middle-aged man called Uncle Liu laughed mischievously. Immediately after, the blue whip appeared in his hand once more. With a casual wave, the whip struck the air, creating a loud cracking sound.
The corners of Jianchen's mouth curled up into a cold smile. Although his opponent was an expert of the water attribute, Jianchen still didn't put him in his eyes. With a slight sway of his body, Jianchen's silhouette left behind an afterimage as he rushed towards the middle-aged man. At the same time, the Light Wind Sword appeared in his hand, bringing a sharp Sword Qi with it towards the middle-aged man's throat.
With a flash of silver light, the Light Wind Sword seemed to have transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly crossing the distance between the two. Before the middle-aged man could react, the Light Wind Sword was only a foot away from his throat.
In front of so many members of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group, this battle had to be won beautifully, so Jianchen used his full strength from the very beginning.
"What fast speed!" The middle-aged man's expression changed. His originally frivolous expression suddenly became serious. From this sword, he already knew that Jianchen wasn't easy to deal with.
The middle-aged man quickly retreated. With a flick of his right hand, the whip was like a nimble snake, leaving an afterimage in the air as it coiled around the Light Wind Sword in an attempt to bind it.
However, he had underestimated the speed of the Light Wind Sword. Just as the whip was about to wrap around the Light Wind Sword, the Light Wind Sword's speed suddenly increased by more than double.
Facing such a fast sword, the middle-aged man had no way of defending or dodging. In the end, the Light Wind Sword pierced through the middle-aged man's throat.
Although the middle-aged man had the water attribute and had a natural advantage, in the eyes of Jianchen, this advantage was nothing. Even if he had a strong Battle Skill, he didn't have the opportunity to use it.
The middle-aged man's eyes were wide open as he stared at Jianchen. He couldn't believe this result. With his strength, he couldn't even dodge a single strike from his opponent.
"Uncle Liu …" Young master Xia's expression suddenly changed. His face was filled with disbelief. He was very clear on Uncle Liu's strength. Even in the family, Uncle Liu's strength was ranked third. Unless he met an Earth Saint Master, no one would be able to defeat Uncle Liu in a one on one fight. But now, the incomparably powerful Uncle Liu had been killed by Jianchen in a single strike. This kind of result was something he couldn't believe.
"Protect the young master!"
With the middle-aged man killed, the Xia family's guards immediately became vigilant. They all protected the young master behind them as they quickly retreated to the door. Each of them had a serious expression on their faces as they stared at Jianchen. They were on high alert in order to prevent Jianchen from killing him again.
"I've said it before. This is not your Xia family's courtyard. You can come and go as you please. Men, surround them!" Jianchen shouted.
"Yes, captain!"
The brothers of the Raging Flame Mercenaries all shouted in unison. They immediately blocked the entrance and surrounded Young master Xia's group.
