Half a day later, Jianchen successfully left Mercenary City with a group of merchants while avoiding everyone's attention. He left without anyone noticing and no one was able to discover any traces of Jianchen.
After leaving Mercenary City, Jianchen parted ways with the merchant group before heading off in a certain direction alone. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately dismounted and used the Illusory Flash to travel as fast as he could.
Swish!
As soon as he used the Illusory Flash, Jianchen shot off like an arrow, leaving behind a trail of faint afterimages as he shot off with lightning-like speed.
Jian Chen, who was running as fast as he could, could only hear the deafening sound of the wind. He couldn't hear anything at all, and the scenery on both sides of the road was rapidly receding. He could only see a blurry figure when he looked at something close. He couldn't see it clearly at all.
This was the first time Jian Chen had been able to fly across a wide plain ever since he had obtained the Illusory Flash. This astonishing speed left Jian Chen astounded. He was certain that his current speed had surpassed the speed of a Sixth Cycle Earth Saint Master with the wind attribute. Perhaps only Heaven Saint Masters who could fly in the air could catch up to him.
After feeling the unbelievable speed of the Illusory Flash, Jianchen's shock was replaced by intense joy. With such godlike speed, he would have no need to fear even if a Heaven Saint Master caught up to him. Moreover, this was only the basic level of the Illusory Flash. Jianchen could not help but begin to guess just what kind of speed he would be able to reach if he could reach the highest level of the Illusory Flash.
However, the Illusory Flash was extremely profound. Jianchen had only reached the basic level after spending a lot of effort. The further he progressed, the more difficult it became. From the introduction of the Illusory Flash, Jianchen could vaguely tell that the latter part of the Illusory Flash seemed to be inextricably linked to space. If he wanted to reach that level, he needed to grasp the mysteries of the world. In other words, it was impossible for anyone below Saint Ruler to reach the highest level of the Illusory Flash.
"As expected of the supreme scripture of an ancient race. It really is incomparably profound." Jianchen secretly sighed.
Jianchen used the Illusory Flash to rush south. What he needed to do now was to leave Mercenary City and avoid being caught by the Heaven Saint Masters of the Jiede family and Shi family.
On the wide plain, Jianchen seemed to have become a missile flying close to the ground. When he used his unbelievable speed to run across the plain, the wind created by him created a long trail of earth behind him. It was a spectacular sight. Fortunately, Jianchen was not on the main road. There was not a single person to be seen around him, so to see this spectacular sight... to see...........
Two hours later, Jianchen was already a few hundred kilometers away from Mercenary City. If it was in the past, Jianchen would never have dared to imagine such a terrifying scene.
However, after two hours of running, Jianchen's Saint Force, which only a Fourth Cycle Earth Saint Master could possess, had been used up by half. Although the Illusory Flash was a movement support Battle Skill, it was still a high level Heaven Tier Battle Skill after all. Moreover, it was infinitely close to a legendary Saint Tier Battle Skill. As a result, using the Illusory Flash consumed an extremely terrifying amount of Saint Force. Even with Jian Chen's strength, he could only use it for four hours at most.
"Roar!" At this moment, five kilometers away, a three meter tall black Magic Leopard discovered Jianchen. It roared towards the sky and immediately turned into a black bolt of lightning as it charged towards Jianchen.
Panther-type magical beasts were adept at running, and this Magic Leopard was a Class 5 Magical Beast as well, so it was extremely fast when running.
Jianchen looked at the charging leopard in disdain and ignored it. He maintained his original speed, brushing past the leopard like the wind. He was extremely fast.
The leopard bit into the air and immediately roared. It immediately chased after Jianchen. Even though it was extremely fast as well, it was still far too slow compared to Jianchen. After just a few steps, it had completely lost track of Jianchen.
Half an hour later, Jianchen was already over a thousand kilometers away from Mercenary City. He was forced to stop and find a safe place to sit down. He pulled out a Class 5 Monster Core from his Space Belt and began to absorb its energy to recover his strength.
After half an hour of running, he had used up three-quarters of his Saint Force. If he did not recover soon, he would not be able to deal with anything that happened along the way. In the extremely dangerous wilderness, Jianchen needed to maintain his battle prowess at all times.
Four hours later, Jianchen's Saint Force had recovered to its peak. He then immediately used the Illusory Flash to continue on his way.
Two days later, the people who had been tailing Jianchen in Mercenary City had not seen Jianchen for two days. However, they only thought that Jianchen had sunk into cultivation. After all, it was very normal for people at their level to not eat or drink for several days while cultivating, so they did not take this matter to heart. The entire inn had been surrounded by their people and monitored day and night. Even a fly would not be able to escape their eyes, let alone a living person.
At this moment, a few burly mercenaries entered the inn. After eating, they checked into a few rooms and went upstairs.
"Bang!"
Very soon, a sound rang out from upstairs, followed by a furious voice, "Damned bastard! Shopkeeper, what kind of shitty room is this? Why is there a huge hole in the floor? Fuck, you made me fall from the third floor all the way to the second floor!"
The people in charge of monitoring Jianchen were stunned when they heard the man's curses. However, they quickly reacted and cursed inwardly. They immediately ran to Jianchen's room on the second floor and discovered that Jianchen had already disappeared. Only a man stood up from the ground as he cursed. A half-meter-wide hole had appeared in the ceiling.
"Oh no, he's escaped!" The faces of the people in charge of monitoring Jianchen changed. They immediately informed the rest of the people and everyone began to search for Jianchen's whereabouts.
Not long after, the news of Jianchen's escape under the watchful eyes of more than ten people reached the ears of the elders of the Jiede Family and the Shi Family. The elders of the two families flew into a rage and cursed the people in charge of monitoring Jianchen.
"Trash, trash, a bunch of trash. Are you all blind? You're a bunch of trash. So many people were watching one person, but he still managed to slip away under your noses. Go and find him. If you can't find him, don't ever come back to see me," the short-tempered Shi Clan's Fourth Brother cursed in exasperation.
Standing beside him, the Third Elder was much calmer. He turned to the kneeling middle-aged men and asked, "Did you find out how Jianchen escaped and when?"
One of the men immediately reported what he knew to the Third Elder.
Hearing this, the Third Elder let out a long sigh and muttered, "It seems that this Jianchen escaped right under your noses. I didn't think that he would have such ability. Not simple."
"Third Elder, what should we do now?" The Fourth Elder asked. The Third Elder was smarter than him and he could only hope that the Third Elder had a better idea.
"What else can we do? The only thing we can do now is to increase the number of people in the city to search for Jianchen's whereabouts. At the same time, send the news back to the family and ask them to send more people to assist us. Also, send out a mission to the Mercenary Union to search for Jianchen." The Third Elder said.
"Jianchen is this year's Mercenary King. If we send out a mission to the Mercenary Union, the people in Mercenary City will definitely know that we are going to deal with him. Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" The Fourth Elder was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Fourth Elder. Even if they know, they won't interfere unless Jianchen has a special relationship with some of them. But that's impossible." The Third Elder said with a face full of confidence.
The Fourth Elder also felt that this made sense and immediately shouted at the men, "Did you hear what the Third Elder said? What are you waiting for?"
At the same time, the two elders from the Jiede Family stared at the men in charge of monitoring Jianchen with a gloomy expression. One of them said angrily, "A bunch of trash. What are you waiting for? Also, send some people to search outside the city. If you can't find him, don't ever come back."
"Yes, yes, we will go now." The middle-aged men felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly left.
….
After two days of trekking through the mountains, Jianchen was now tens of thousands of kilometers away from Mercenary City. He could be considered safe for the time being.
In a small river, Jianchen washed his body and took out a set of clothes from his space belt. After changing his appearance to that of an ordinary youth, he once again set out on his journey.
Because of the Mercenary Tournament, many people recognized Jianchen and it was not convenient for Jianchen to appear in his original appearance.
Following this, Jianchen slowed down his pace. From the map, he already knew where he was. There was a second class city about a hundred kilometers away.
At this moment, the sounds of battle rang out in Jian Chen's ears. A chaotic battle was taking place up ahead. One side rode ordinary horses and were dressed very casually. There were over a hundred people in total, and they seemed like bandits. The other side only had around thirty people, and they all wore the same clothes. They guarded a luxurious carriage as they fended off over a hundred bandits.
Seeing this scene, Jianchen couldn't help but think back to the time when he had just left the Kingdom of Gesun and was attacked by the Boundless Bandits. At that time, he was only a small Saint. It took him a lot of effort to deal with even a Saint Master. A Great Saint Master was already a powerful expert in his eyes.
