Jianchen did not reply and instead fought with all his might against the four Shi Clan experts.
Jianchen controlled the Origin Energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits to continuously attack the four Shi Clan experts. The incomparable speed of his attacks caused a dense array of sword images to appear around him. Each attack was sharp and precise, displaying the essence of the Way of the Sword to perfection.
Although the four Shi Clan experts had the advantage in terms of numbers, they were still wary of the Origin Energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits, so they were unable to use their full strength. In the end, the four of them who should have had the upper hand were actually suppressed by Jianchen, causing them to feel extremely sullen.
Furthermore, Jianchen had the help of his soul, allowing him to observe his surroundings. Even if the four of them spread out and surrounded Jianchen and attacked him from different directions, they would not be able to do anything. This was because Jianchen would always be able to dodge at the most crucial moment, or directly use the Origin Energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits to stab their Saint Weapons, forcing them to forcefully withdraw their attacks.
"This bastard, he's clearly heavily injured. How can he still have such a strong battle strength?" After a few dozen exchanges, one of the elders could no longer bear it and cursed as he dodged.
"We can't continue like this. The four of us should join forces and use the Heaven Tier Battle Skill again. Let's end this quickly," another old man said in a deep voice. He didn't want to continue fighting like this.
Hearing this, the third elder decisively rejected, "No, the Heaven Tier Battle Skill consumes too much energy. We've already used up fifty to sixty percent of our Saint Force each time we use it. If we use it a second time, we'll use up all the Saint Force in our bodies. When that time comes, we won't have any battle strength left. It'll be very disadvantageous for us." The third elder was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that Jianchen had become so powerful, he would have notified the clan to send more people. At the same time, he would have also informed the Jiede Clan. If the two clans had sent experts to deal with Jianchen, they would not have ended up like this and would have caused the clan to lose an expert.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a chilling cry rang out. An old man had been stabbed in the chest by the Azulet Sword Spirits because he had been distracted while speaking.
"Elder Mark!"
The Third Elder and the other two Elders cried out in alarm. Then, the three of them simultaneously used their Earth Ranked Battle Skills to attack Jianchen in an attempt to save Elder Mark.
However, Jianchen was much faster than they had imagined. Before they could even use their Earth Tier Battle Skills, the Origin Energy of the Sword Spirits had already pierced through elder Mark's forehead like a bolt of lightning, piercing through his soul and wiping him out on the spot.
"Elder Mark!" The three of them cried out in alarm, their expressions sorrowful. The fact that Elder Mark had died right in front of them was a huge blow to their hearts.
After killing Elder Mark, Jian Chen's movements didn't stop at all. He waved his right hand like lightning and three meter long pure Sword Qis shot out like lightning towards the three people who were still in a daze.
Elder Mark's death had a huge impact on the three of them. While they were distracted, only the Third Elder was able to dodge the Sword Qis with his speed. The other two Elders were struck by the Sword Qis and had their chests pierced, causing them to cry out in pain.
Jianchen knew that this was the perfect opportunity to kill the two Elders and immediately rushed forward. The Origin Energy of the Azulet Sword Spirits slashed at the two Elders' necks with lightning speed, decapitating them.
"Pu!" Two pillars of blood shot into the sky as the two Elders' decapitated heads flew high into the air. However, the two Elders did not immediately die. From their eyes, one could clearly see the undisguised fear.
With a gentle flick of his finger, two strands of azure and violet sword Qi shot out from the tip of his finger. They pierced a finger-sized hole between the eyebrows of the two heads and dispersed their souls on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, three of the four Heaven Saint Masters had been killed, leaving only the Third Elder alive.
Seeing this scene, the Third Elder could not help but turn pale with fright. He immediately lost the will to continue fighting and turned to flee. The four Heaven Saint Masters were not Lin Fan's opponent even when working together. Now that he was the only one left, he felt that if he continued to stay, he would definitely die.
The current Jianchen was no longer the same person he had been a year ago when he had chased him to the ends of the earth.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Jianchen sneered. Dense Wind Elemental Energy enveloped his body as he immediately pursued the Third Elder. His speed was actually slightly faster than the Third Elder's. As he chased, Jianchen also shot a powerful Sword Qi at the Third Elder.
"Swish!" The Sword Qi tore through the air and emitted a series of subtle whistling sounds. It shot towards the Third Elder's back at lightning speed and pierced through his chest.
The Third Elder spat out a mouthful of blood as his face became deathly pale. His body that was floating in the air swayed, almost falling out of the sky. His speed of escape also slowed down because of this.
Seeing that there was no hope for him to escape, the Third Elder just gave up on running. A sliver of determination appeared on his face as he coldly stared at Jianchen. He yelled out, "Jianchen, even if I die, I won't let you have an easy time. The people of our Shi family will avenge me. You definitely won't be able to live for much longer — Death's Imprint!" The Third Elder roared, and a layer of faint red smoke rose from his body. His body quickly dried up, as if he had lost all the water in his body. Very quickly, he turned into a bag of bones.
The red mist gathered around the Third Elder, condensing into a strange blood-red pattern in the blink of an eye. It then shot toward Jianchen with unbelievable speed.
Faced with this strange blood-red pattern, Jianchen actually had no time to dodge. This was because the blood-red pattern was simply too fast. It was like a real bolt of lightning as it directly drilled into Jianchen's body and disappeared.
After shooting out the blood-red pattern, the Third Elder slowly closed his eyes and fell from the sky. His withered body was like an ancient corpse that had been air-dried for a long time.
Jianchen turned pale with fright. He didn't have time to check on the Third Elder's condition and hurriedly checked his own body. Indeed, he found the strange blood-red pattern that the Third Elder had just shot out in his body. This pattern was like an imprint, deeply imprinted on his body.
Jianchen's face became serious as he thought about the Third Elder's last words. He murmured in a low voice, "Death's Imprint, what the hell is this thing?"
"The Death's Imprint is formed by a person's spirit. Its purpose is to leave an indelible imprint on the enemy's body, making it easier to find in the future." As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, a voice came from not far away. Hu Xiaotian flew over from the distance, and the person who spoke was him.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Jianchen with a complicated expression. His heart was not as calm as he looked on the surface. Jianchen had killed four masters of the same level by himself. That kind of strength made him feel very shocked.
Hu Xiaotian arrived before Jianchen and let out a long sigh to calm his surging emotions. After a moment of thought, he continued, "The cost of using the Death's Imprint is extremely great. Normally, people will only use this secret technique when they have no hope of escaping and know that they will die for sure. This is because once the Death's Imprint is used, the caster's spirit will completely drain away, resulting in their spirit being wiped out. Moreover, all the blood in their body will evaporate in an instant, causing their body to wither rapidly, just like that person from before. And once a person has been imprinted with the Death's Imprint, no matter where they run, they will be found by the person behind the caster and be hunted down endlessly. "
Hu Xiaotian stared at Jianchen deeply and said, "Brother Jianchen, you need to be careful. The person behind this old man can find you at any time through the Death's Imprint he has left on you. No matter how far away you are, you can't avoid it. If you really can't handle it, just hide in Mercenary City."
