On the Tian Yuan Continent, anyone who had been afflicted with a Death Imprint would not be able to remove it. This was because the imprint was condensed from all the vital energies in the person's body. It was tedious and complicated, not as simple as energy. Once afflicted with a Death Imprint, the only way to remove it was to wait for the imprint to deplete all of its vital energies.
But to wait for the Death Mark of a Heaven Saint Master to be washed away by the passage of time would undoubtedly take an extremely long time. It would take at least a few hundred years. Now that Jianchen had a way to remove the Death Mark, the two Saint Rulers from the Jiede clan and Shi clan were very surprised.
The Saint Rulers from the Jiede clan and Shi clan knew the importance of the Death Mark. Once the Death Mark was lost, Jianchen would escape from their sight. Even if they had the strength of a Saint Ruler, it would be very difficult to find Jianchen. After all, the Tian Yuan Continent was just too big. Looking for a single person in a sea of people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this moment, Jianchen was still sitting cross-legged on his bed, working with the Sword Spirits to remove the Death Mark from his body. He was completely unaware that his actions had been discovered by the Shi clan ancestor.
Right at that moment, a loud bang rang out. The wooden door that had been locked from the inside had been rudely knocked open. The door that was not very thick fell from the frame and landed heavily on the floor of the room. Two Saint Kings from the Shi Clan and the Jiede Clan walked in with ugly expressions on their faces.
Jianchen, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, slowly opened his eyes and calmly looked at the two Saint Rulers who had suddenly barged in.
"Jianchen, I have underestimated you. I did not think that you would have a way to remove the Death Mark from your body. Hmph, how could it be so easy to completely remove the Death Mark from your body?" The Saint Ruler from the Shi clan said with a gloomy face. He felt extremely fortunate. If it were not for the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan, Jianchen would have completely removed the Death Mark from his body without him noticing.
With that, Jianchen knew that his secret of removing the Brand of Death had been discovered. However, he was not worried at all because this was Mercenary City. So what if they knew he had the ability to remove the Brand of Death?
"Seniors, the two of you are truly resourceful. I never thought that you would be able to discover this little trick of mine. However, so what if you have discovered it? It won't be long before the Death Imprint on my body is completely erased," Jianchen said with a smile.
"How dare you!" The Saint Ruler of the Shi family was furious. He pointed at Jianchen and roared. The Death Mark had been left behind by a Heaven Saint Master of the Shi family at the cost of his life. If Jianchen could remove it so easily, the Heaven Saint Master would not have died in vain.
Jianchen looked at the Saint Ruler with ridicule and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? Don't forget that this is Mercenary City. Do you two seniors dare to make a move against me here?"
The Saint Ruler's face became extremely gloomy as he glared at Jianchen. If looks could kill, he would have killed Jianchen right there and then.
Seeing Jianchen's fearless expression, the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan smiled and said, "Jianchen, don't be too happy. Even if you remove the Death Mark from your body, you will not be able to escape from our grasp. This is because the Old Man just so happens to have a secret technique. If used on a person, he will be able to sense their location. Although the effect is not as strong as the Death Mark, it is more than enough to deal with the current situation." As soon as he finished speaking, the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan moved both of his hands. His ten fingers turned into a blur as he formed a series of complicated hand seals. As his hand seals changed, a layer of strange energy began to condense between his hands.
Seeing this, Jian Chen's expression changed. He could no longer maintain his composure. If the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family was telling the truth, then once the Saint Ruler's secret technique was used on him, even if he removed the Death Mark, it would not change anything. He would still be under their surveillance, which was something he did not wish to see happen.
Jianchen's eyes suddenly became sharp as he stared at the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan. "This is Mercenary City. Do you really dare to make a move against me in Mercenary City?"
"I won't hurt anyone when I use this secret technique, nor will I destroy anything here, so I'm not breaking any of the rules of Mercenary City." The Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan spoke with a face full of confidence. His hands did not stop moving. As his hand seals continued to change, the strange energy that condensed around his hands became thicker and thicker. Gradually, it condensed into a blurry pattern.
"That old bastard." Jianchen cursed in his heart. He was not going to sit there and wait for the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan to use the secret technique on him. He immediately picked up the sleeping White Tiger from the bed and jumped out of the room through the window.
"Hmph, Jianchen, do you think you can escape from us?" The Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan sneered and chased after him with the Shi Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan.
Outside the inn was a bustling street. As soon as Jianchen's feet touched the ground, he immediately ran away. However, he also knew that running away like this was not a solution. The Saint Rulers from the Shi and Jiede clan could catch up to him at any time. Therefore, as he was running, he quickly thought of a way to deal with them.
What he needed to do now was to avoid direct contact with the Saint Rulers from the Shi and Jiede clan. This way, he would be able to avoid the Saint Rulers from the Jiede clan from using the secret technique on him. Unfortunately, there was no place to hide in Mercenary City. Even if there was, it would not be able to stop the two Saint Rulers. Perhaps the only place that could satisfy this condition was the headquarters of Mercenary City. However, that was not a place that he could enter as he wished.
"Jianchen, in front of a Saint Ruler, you have no ability to escape." At that moment, an old voice came from the front. The Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan had unknowingly appeared in front of Jianchen, blocking his path. Then, a strange energy seal shot out from the Saint Ruler's hands and entered Jianchen's body with lightning speed.
Just as the energy seal entered Jianchen's body, Jianchen immediately felt his body tighten. The energy seal seemed to transform into a large invisible net, enveloping his entire body and restricting his movements. It felt as if he was being locked down by a Heaven Tier Battle Skill.
Jian Chen's face turned ugly. He knew that the Jiede family's secret technique would not only allow them to locate him at any time, but it would also restrict his movements, making it difficult for him to move around as easily as before.
"Jianchen, how do you feel now? Although the range of my technique is not as far as the Mark of Death, it has the ability to restrict your movements. Unless you are stronger than me, you will not be able to break through my technique." The Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan sneered, very pleased with himself.
Jianchen clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger. He never thought that things would be so coincidental. Just as he was about to completely remove the Mark of Death, something like this would happen. This would delay his escape plan for a long time.
"Big brother, are you in trouble? Are the two people chasing you bad guys?" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in Jianchen's ears. Xiao Ling's illusory body appeared in front of Jianchen's eyes. Her legs were bare as she floated in the air a meter above the ground.
Xiao Ling's illusory body was only visible to Jianchen. Although there were many people on the street, no one could see Xiao Ling's existence.
Xiao Ling also seemed to have sensed that the Jiede clan's Saint Ruler had used a secret technique on Jianchen's body. Her innocent face was filled with anger as she angrily said, "Big brother, you are being bullied. Those two must be bad guys, bad guys. Big brother, don't be afraid, Xiao Ling will help you." With that, Xiao Ling extended a finger and a formless energy shot out from the tip of her finger and struck Jian Chen. Effortlessly, the Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan broke the secret technique that had been cast on him.
The Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan also sensed that the secret technique had been broken. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He stared at Jianchen in shock and said, "How is this possible? The secret technique I used on you was broken? No, this is impossible. With your strength, there is no way you can break my secret technique."
When the Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan said this, the Shi Ancestor was shocked. He muttered, "There is something strange about this kid. Not only can he get rid of the Mark of Death, he can even break your secret technique. Could it be that he has some kind of treasure on him?"
"Big Brother, don't just stand there. Beat them up! Beat them up! Teach these bad guys a lesson!"
Xiao Ling floated to Jianchen's side and waved her fists. Because Jianchen had been bullied, Xiao Ling hated the two Saint Rulers in front of her.
"Xiao Ling, this is Mercenary City. Isn't there a rule against fighting? If you do, you will be severely punished." Jianchen said with a troubled expression.
"Big Brother, don't worry. In the past, it was always Xiao Ling who punished people who fought in Mercenary City. But Xiao Ling won't punish you. Big Brother, hurry up and teach them a lesson. They won't dare to fight back. If they dare to fight back, then Xiao Ling won't let them go. If it wasn't for master's rule that Xiao Ling can't take the initiative to hurt others, Xiao Ling would have already taught them a lesson." Xiao Ling said.
Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Jian Chen's heart was filled with excitement. For the past two months, he had been suppressed by the Saint Rulers of the Jiede family and Shi family to the point where he could barely breathe. Now that he had finally found an opportunity to teach them a lesson, he didn't have to worry about them retaliating. How could he not be excited? He had never experienced what it felt like to chase a Saint Ruler.
A surging aura radiated from Jianchen's body, blotting out the sky as it crushed towards the two Saint Rulers. Shortly after, the origin energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits shot out from his right hand and quickly condensed into a four foot long sword.
Jianchen's actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street. Everyone looked at Jianchen in surprise. When they saw that Jianchen wanted to fight in Mercenary City, they all sneered or shook their heads in pity. Who didn't know that fighting was forbidden in Mercenary City?
Sensing Jianchen's actions, the Shi Clan Saint Ruler stared at Jianchen as if he was looking at an idiot. He sneered, "Jianchen, don't tell me you plan on fighting in Mercenary City? You must be tired of living."
