In the blink of an eye, Jianchen's group had already stayed in the cave for seven days. During this time, Jianchen, Doctor An, and Yun Zheng got along very well. The yellow-clothed girl was still the same as before, rarely speaking. Even now, Jianchen still didn't know her name.
Qin Xiao's injuries had already gradually improved. Although the huge wound on his waist hadn't completely healed, at least it had already formed a scar. With the help of healing medicine, it was believed that he would be able to walk in ten days to half a month. The Zither Master's injuries had also recovered by seventy percent. She already possessed a certain amount of battle strength. With her valiant strength, she would be able to fully recover in a few days.
In the somewhat dusky cave, the torches that had been burning non-stop for several days slowly flickered. Sitting cross-legged to the side, Jianchen slowly opened his eyes. His gaze swept over the cave. The Zither Master, the yellow-clothed girl, and Doctor An were all sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating. Qin Xiao was still lying on the stretcher with his eyes closed. It was unknown whether he had fallen asleep or what. Only Yun Zheng wasn't in the cave, his whereabouts unknown.
Jianchen got up to add some wood to the bonfire, then walked out of the cave. When he disappeared from the cave, the yellow-clothed girl sitting cross-legged on the ground cultivating slowly opened her eyes. She looked in the direction Jianchen had left, then closed her eyes again. She sat there motionless like an old monk in meditation.
Arriving outside the cave, Jianchen fiercely breathed in the fresh and comfortable air outside. Then, he closed his eyes with an intoxicated expression. After staying in the cave with poor ventilation for so long, the slightly dry and hot air inside had long since made people feel very uncomfortable.
Jianchen took a deep breath, then climbed up the hillside in boredom and wandered around nearby. Right now, he had to protect Qin Xiao, so he didn't dare to go far. Moreover, before Qin Xiao's injuries were healed, Jianchen didn't plan to leave this place. This was because bringing Qin Xiao, who was inconvenient to move, on the road would be troublesome if they encountered a strong person. Even if he wasn't afraid, if the opponent targeted Qin Xiao, then Jianchen would fall into a very passive situation.
During this period of time, Jianchen had collected quite a few tokens as well. In total, he had over a thousand tokens. In this elimination round, he only needed to collect the top five hundred tokens to pass, so the thousand tokens on Jianchen were enough for him to pass. Now, all he needed to do was stay here and endure the remaining month.
Jianchen jumped onto a thirty-meter-tall tree and laid down on a thick branch. He couldn't help but think of Ming Dong, who was staying in the mysterious shrine. He muttered, "I wonder how Ming Dong's situation is now. His ancestor and that mysterious shrine master were very good friends. That shrine master will definitely help Ming Dong. When I see Ming Dong again, he will definitely have changed greatly."
"This time's Mercenary Tournament is the easiest way to obtain a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. I must do my best and obtain a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. Once my strength is enough, I will return to the Kingdom of Gesun and settle the debt with the Huayun Sect. With the assistance of a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, the strength of Changyang Prefecture will also greatly increase," Jianchen muttered to himself as he laid down on a tree branch, his eyes shining with unprecedented determination.
But shortly after, Jianchen let out a long sigh. A trace of worry appeared between his brows as he said, "Right now, the Kingdom of Gesun's situation is very bad. The surrounding four kingdoms are about to join forces to attack the Kingdom of Gesun. I estimate that war will break out in the next one or two years. In the following period of time, I must work even harder to increase my strength. I hope that when the time comes, I will be able to help a little."
Just as Jianchen was laying down on a tree branch and making plans for his future journey, three figures were rapidly running in his direction from afar. They were like arrows that had been released from a bow, their speed extremely fast.
The three people were chasing and fleeing. The person running in front had a pale complexion and was covered in blood. The white robes he wore were mostly dyed red with blood. The two people behind him were still fully clothed and were holding Saint Weapons in their hands as they chased after him.
Jianchen also discovered the three people in the distance. He gently pushed aside the branches and leaves that were blocking his line of sight. With his outstanding eyesight, he clearly saw the three people's appearances. A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes as he lightly smiled and said, "I didn't think that he would be in such a sorry state from being chased. It seems that he wants to lead them back to his home." As he spoke, Jianchen jumped down from the tree branch. He calmly stood under the tree and stared at the three people approaching in his direction.
Of the three people, the one running in front was Yun Zheng, who lived in the same cave as Jianchen. At this moment, Yun Zheng was in an extremely sorry state and had long since lost his former elegance.
When Yun Zheng discovered Jianchen in front of him, an indescribable light flashed through his eyes. He immediately increased his speed and rapidly approached Jianchen. Very quickly, the pale-faced Yun Zheng stopped by Jianchen's side, panting for breath. He hurriedly said, "Little brother Jianchen, let's go quickly. Those two people are very strong. Let's go back and call Doctor An to deal with them together."
Jianchen smiled and shook his head, saying, "My brother is currently recuperating there. I don't want him to be disturbed in the slightest."
"But …" Yun Zheng's face was filled with anxiety. Just as he wanted to say something, Jianchen extended a hand to stop him. He indifferently said, "Let's settle it here."
Hearing Jianchen's indifferent tone, a light flashed through Yun Zheng's eyes. He slowly calmed down and then quietly stood behind Jianchen. He wanted to see just how Jianchen would deal with the two Earth Saint Masters who were even stronger than him.
The two Earth Saint Masters chasing after Yun Zheng also stopped ten meters away from Jianchen. The two of them were middle-aged men in their forties. They wore light blue tight clothes that tightened their firm muscles. One of them was short, only about 1.5 meters tall. His skin was extremely dark, like coal. The other was skinnier and had an ordinary appearance. He had a hooked nose and six or seven vicious scars crisscrossed the left side of his face. He looked extremely terrifying, but it also added a bit of fierceness to him.
The two men sized up Jianchen. They did not place him in their eyes at all. The two of them looked at each other and then one of them immediately arrived behind Jianchen, blocking off Jianchen and Yun Zheng's path of retreat.
Jianchen slowly crossed his arms and looked at the short man with a smile. He said, "You two, may I ask what the meaning of this is?"
Seeing Jianchen's calm appearance, the short man faintly felt that something was wrong. However, he did not think too much about it. He angrily glared at Jianchen and Yun Zheng and yelled, "If you know what's good for you, immediately hand over your Space Belts and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, hmph!"
"What else can I do?" Jian Chen continued to smile.
The short man's gaze suddenly became sharp. He viciously glared at Jianchen and angrily yelled, "Otherwise, the two of you will die here today."
Jianchen's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent as he said, "Since it's like this, I'll send you on your way." As soon as he finished speaking, Jianchen left behind an afterimage and instantly appeared in front of the short man. At the same time, the silver Light Wind Sword suddenly appeared in his right hand. It carried a powerful and chilling Sword Qi as it pierced towards the short man. It was as fast as lightning.
The short man did not think that Jianchen would suddenly attack. Moreover, his speed was so fast that before he could react, the silver sword had already pierced through his throat.
Jianchen's sword was just too fast. The short man was caught off guard and was killed in a single exchange. Even though he was an Earth Saint Master, it was still difficult for him to dodge Jianchen's incomparably fast sword.
Jian Chen's movements did not stop at all. He immediately pulled out the bloodied sword from the short man's neck. With a slight sway of his body, he turned into a blur as he charged toward the skinny Earth Saint Master behind him.
At this time, the Earth Saint Master finally reacted. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Jianchen charging towards him. At this moment, his expression became extremely serious. This was because he suddenly realized that the youth he had never placed in his eyes was actually a tiger in sheep's clothing.
"Ha!" The skinny man roared as Saint Force surged out from his body. The large sword in his hand was covered in a thick layer of blue light as it mercilessly chopped towards Jianchen's head.
Jianchen's body slightly swayed as he nimbly dodged the skinny man's attack. The Light Wind Sword turned into a silver bolt of lightning as it pierced towards the skinny man's throat.
The skinny man's reaction wasn't slow either. He tilted his head and narrowly dodged the Light Wind Sword, causing the Light Wind Sword to brush past his neck. However, before the skinny man could even rejoice, the Light Wind Sword that had just brushed past his neck had already sliced horizontally across it. In the next moment, the skinny man felt a slight pain from his neck as the scene in front of him began to spin. His entire head had already been cut off as it spun and fell to the ground. From the severed neck, a two meter tall pillar of blood spurted out.
The two arrogant Earth Saint Masters who had beaten Yun Zheng into a sorry state had been killed by Jianchen in the blink of an eye. Standing to the side, Yun Zheng stared with wide eyes. His face was filled with disbelief. This kind of battle prowess, was it really possible for a youth in his twenties to possess such strength?
Standing to the side, Yun Zheng had originally planned to watch how Jianchen dealt with the two Earth Saint Masters. Although he had already guessed that Jianchen would be able to deal with the two Earth Saint Masters, he never would have thought that the two Earth Saint Masters who had chased after him would be so weak in front of Jianchen. They were simply unable to withstand a single blow.
