Jianchen sneered as he charged at the old man without any fear. With a slight tremble of his right arm, he used his physical strength to drive the origin energy of the sword spirits to stab out without expending any energy. With a flash of violet and azure, it arrived at the old man's chest in an instant.
The old man's expression changed. He had never thought that Jianchen would be so fast.
Up until now, the experts of the Shi family had only known Jianchen as an Earth Saint Master. They had never thought that in just a year, he would have broken through to become a Heaven Saint Master from the Second Cycle of Earth Saint Master. The speed of Jianchen's stab was something that even wind-attributed Earth Saint Masters could not achieve. Such shocking speed surprised the experts of the Shi family. Their evaluation of Jianchen increased once again.
Even though Jianchen's stab was surprisingly fast, the old man's reaction was extremely fast. The huge sword in his hand suddenly erupted with a bright yellow light as Saint Force surged from his body into the Saint Weapon, causing it to shine brightly. It illuminated the surroundings before slashing at Jianchen's origin energy with lightning speed.
Boom! The origin energy of the sword spirits collided with the old man's huge sword. The powerful Saint Force within the huge sword immediately erupted, wreaking havoc in all directions like a pack of wild horses. Dirt was thrown into the air as dust filled the air, causing the entire battlefield to be shrouded in a cloud of dust. It was very difficult to see what was going on inside.
The third elder of the Shi family and the other three elders who were watching the battle all had a faint layer of energy shield appear around their bodies, isolating them from the sand that was rolling towards them. However, their eyes were fixed on the cloud of dust in front of them, and their expressions were filled with unconcealable surprise.
"Third elder, is Jianchen really only a Second Cycle Earth Saint Master?" An old man asked the third elder.
The third elder said in a deep voice, "When I met him a year ago, he was indeed only an Earth Saint Master. But I never thought that in just a year, his strength would undergo such a drastic change. Even with his Saint Weapon destroyed, he did not become a cripple. Instead, his battle prowess is even greater than before. It really is unexpected."
"Those who survive a great disaster are destined for good fortune. This saying really is true." An old man sighed.
Right at this moment, a figure shot out from the cloud of dust, heading straight for the third elder of the Shi family.
The third elder's eyes suddenly narrowed before he sneered, "You're actually unharmed. Elder Ma actually did not injure you at all. Jianchen, your strength really has increased by a lot." As he spoke, the third elder's body was wrapped in a dense layer of wind-attributed Saint Force. He directly shot into the sky, reaching an altitude of fifty meters in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, a dense layer of wind-attributed Saint Force suddenly appeared around Jianchen's body. He followed closely behind the third elder.
"What? He's actually a Heaven Saint Master. " The other three old men were all shocked when they saw this. Disbelief filled their faces. It had only been a little over a year, yet the Second Cycle Earth Saint Master had already become a Heaven Saint Master. His strength had skyrocketed, leaving the three of them tongue-tied.
Seeing that Jianchen could actually fly, the third elder was quite shocked as well. He stared at Jianchen dumbfoundedly and uncontrollably cried out, "How is this possible? You were clearly an Earth Saint Master a year ago. How did the destruction of your Saint Weapon not only not make you lose the ability to fight, but also allow you to break through to the realm of Heaven Saint Master?" The third elder could no longer maintain his previous composure. His face was filled with shock as his heart surged like a tidal wave. He was unable to calm down at all.
Seeing the third elder's shocked expression, Jianchen could not help but sneer. He coldly said, "Third elder, it's time to collect the debt from a year ago. Don't even think about leaving here today." As he spoke, Jianchen had already approached the third elder. The origin energy of the sword spirits turned into an azure and violet streak of light that stabbed toward the third elder's throat.
The third elder knew how powerful the origin energy of the sword spirits was, so he did not dare to take it head-on. Relying on the speed of his wind-attributed Saint Force, he rapidly retreated. At the same time, powerful Saint Force gathered on the sword in his hand as he roared out, "Earth Tier Battle Skill, Cloudpiercing Mist!" The wind-attributed Saint Force around the third elder became even denser. Instead of retreating, he advanced. Like an arrow, he charged toward Jianchen with unparalleled speed, as if he wanted to pierce through Jianchen's body.
Seeing that the third elder had actually taken the initiative to charge at him, Jian Chen sneered. Just as he was about to stab the origin energy of the sword spirits at the third elder, his expression suddenly changed. He immediately turned around and the origin energy of the sword spirits stabbed into the empty space behind him with lightning-like speed.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound rang out in the empty space. A figure gradually appeared in the empty space. It was the third elder of the Shi clan. The third elder who had charged toward Jianchen had disappeared into thin air as soon as he approached Jianchen. It was actually an illusion.
"What a strange Battle Skill." Jianchen sighed with some admiration. The Earth Tier Battle Skill that the third elder of the Shi family had just used was actually a smokescreen. The first silhouette was just a shadow condensed from energy, while the third elder used a very mysterious method to hide himself. Furthermore, he used his speed to silently appear behind Jian Chen, attempting to deal a fatal blow. It was impossible to guard against. If Jian Chen didn't have the help of his soul to detect the third elder who was hiding in the void, he would probably have been heavily injured by now.
"Pfft!" The third elder spat out a mouthful of blood. His face had already become somewhat pale. He stared at the Saint Weapon in his hand in disbelief, only to see that a crack had silently appeared on it.
"Elder Hunyuan, Elder Hunyuan is dead! Third elder, Jianchen killed Elder Hunyuan!" At this moment, a cry rang out from below. The dust had already dispersed, and the Heaven Saint Master who had fought with Jianchen was already lying in a pool of blood. There was a shocking wound between his eyebrows.
"What! Elder Hunyuan is dead! " The third elder paled in fright. He immediately turned his head to look below. When he saw the scene below, he was completely stunned.
However, just as he was stunned, Jianchen had already charged over. The origin energy of the sword spirits stabbed toward the third elder's forehead. In the blink of an eye, it was less than a foot away from the third elder's forehead.
The third elder was shocked. He hurriedly moved his head to the side, barely dodging Jianchen's fatal attack. Even so, there was still a tiny wound between his eyebrows.
"Swish!"
Jianchen struck out extremely quickly. As soon as the first strike was unleashed, the second strike would follow. He did not give the third elder any time to catch his breath.
The third elder was extremely fearful of the origin energy of the sword spirits. He did not dare to clash with Jianchen directly. He only used his speed to rapidly retreat in an attempt to pull away from Jianchen. However, how could Jianchen let him do as he wished? He was also surrounded by wind-attributed Saint Force as he chased after the third elder with a speed that was no slower than his own. The third elder was unable to fight back at all.
"Go help the third elder!" The three Heaven Saint Masters below discovered that the third elder was in danger and all rushed into the sky.
"Don't worry about me. Hurry up and use a Heaven Tier Battle Skill. Only a Heaven Tier Battle Skill can heavily injure him. This bastard, it's only been a year since we last met. I never thought that he would become so powerful," the third elder yelled out. The Third Elder shouted loudly. He felt extremely unbalanced in his heart. He had spent a total of over three hundred years to reach his current height. At this moment, even a junior who was not even fifty years old had been forced into such a sorry state. This was very difficult for him to accept.
With that, the three Heaven Saint Masters did not hesitate at all. They immediately split up in a triangle and began to use a Heaven Tier Battle Skill.
The three Heaven Saint Masters used a Heaven Tier Battle Skill at the same time. Without a doubt, the pressure from the Heaven Tier Battle Skill was extremely great. Violent winds suddenly kicked up in the surroundings, blowing the sand and pebbles into the air. Even the clouds in the sky began to violently surge, as if a furious dragon was stirring. A powerful pressure filled the surroundings, radiating far away. Many people in Mercenary City could sense it even from ten kilometers away.
"A Heaven Tier Battle Skill. This is a pressure that only a Heaven Tier Battle Skill can possess. There are Heaven Saint Masters fighting outside the city."
"There are people fighting outside the city, and looking at the pressure from a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, it requires at least two or three people to use it at the same time. This is a very rare and interesting battle. Let's go take a look."
Mercenary City immediately fell into an uproar. Many people stopped what they were doing and hurried out of the city. They all wanted to see this rare and interesting battle.
Hu Xiaotian sat alone in an inn, drinking fine wine and eating roasted meat. When he sensed the pressure from a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, he could not help but frown slightly. He said, "A Heaven Saint Master has been following little brother Jianchen since yesterday, and little brother Jianchen has only just left today. Has little brother Jianchen fought with them?"
"Little brother Jian Chen was only an Earth Saint Master when he participated in the Mercenary Tournament, and it hasn't even been four years since the tournament ended. Could it be that little brother Jian Chen has already become a Heaven Saint Master in these four years? No, that doesn't seem possible, but the pressure from the Heaven Tier Battle Skill has already been completely unleashed. That's something only a Heaven Saint Master can do. Could it be that the person fighting is someone else? Looks like I should go take a look."
Hu Xiaotian tossed a few shiny gold coins onto the table before immediately leaving.
A clear girl's voice suddenly rang out in the sky above Mercenary City.
"Big brother, that's big brother. Big brother is fighting with someone else. He seems to be in danger. Will big brother be okay? Xiao Ling, do you want to help big brother?"
"B- b- but master forbids Xiao Ling from interfering with these matters. If Xiao Ling interferes with the matters outside the city, won't master blame Xiao Ling when he returns? B- but big brother has master's scent on him. Does Xiao Ling want to just watch big brother get hurt?"
