Hearing the words of the two Saint Rulers, Jianchen secretly sneered. How would they know about the relationship between him and Xiao Ling? With Xiao Ling's guarantee, the rules of Mercenary City were nothing to him. After all, he knew that Xiao Ling was from the same generation as Mo Tianyun. Furthermore, the founder of Mercenary City, Mo Tianyun, was Xiao Ling's master. With such a special status, Xiao Ling's status in Mercenary City could be imagined. Perhaps Xiao Ling's status in Mercenary City was even higher than that of the first elder, Tian Jian.
Jianchen no longer hesitated. With a slight sway of his body, he charged towards the Saint Ruler like a bolt of lightning. The Origin Energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits mercilessly stabbed towards the Saint Ruler's head.
The Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan was shocked. However, he did not dare to act as recklessly as Jianchen in Mercenary City. He did not even dare to defend himself. He immediately retreated to avoid Jianchen's attack and coldly sneered, "You actually dare to act in Mercenary City? You must be tired of living. Now, no one can save you."
Jianchen did not reply. He stomped his feet on the ground and turned into a blur as he chased after the Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan. Against a Saint Ruler, he did not dare to hold back. He used the Origin Energy of the Azure and Violet Sword Spirits to their limits. They emitted a blinding light, like a lantern in the night, extremely dazzling.
The Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan did not dare to act in Mercenary City. He knew the consequences of doing so, so he did not dare to retaliate against Jianchen's pursuit. The only thing he could do was dodge. With a slight sway of his body, he easily dodged Jianchen's attack. Jianchen's full strength attack did not cause the Saint Ruler of the Jiede clan to feel any pressure at all.
After all, Saint Rulers were not Heaven Saint Masters. They were supreme existences who had peeked into the mysteries of the world. They were able to grasp a basic grasp of space and borrow Spatial Force. Even if they stood there like wooden pillars, they would still be unable to be harmed by Heaven Saint Masters.
Everyone below the Saint Ruler Realm was an ant. If one wanted to pose a threat to a Saint Ruler, then only a hermit of the Saint Ruler Realm would be able to do so.
Although he could not injure a Saint Ruler, Jianchen was not discouraged at all. Now that he could attack without any restraint, chasing after a Saint Ruler who did not dare to fight back and forcing a mighty Saint Ruler to flee, he felt an indescribable sense of pleasure. He was tempted to roar at the sky and vent all his pent-up frustration.
Jianchen leapt up from the ground, the Origin Energy of the Azure Sword Spirits glowing brightly. With a flick of his wrist, an Azure Sword Qi shot towards the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family.
The Saint Ruler's body swayed slightly, leaving behind an afterimage as he retreated to the roof of a tall building several hundred meters away.
The Azure Sword Qi shot by Jianchen struck the hard ground of Mercenary City, causing a loud explosion. The powerful shockwave spread out in all directions, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble slightly. However, the ground that was hit by the Azure Sword Qi was completely undamaged. Jianchen's powerful Azure Sword Qi did not leave a single mark on the ground.
The sudden explosion spread far and wide, alarming the people on the streets. They all revealed looks of surprise. Having experienced countless battles, they naturally knew how the explosion came about. However, they did not think that there would be someone who dared to fight in Mercenary City.
"There are people fighting over there. I don't know who it is that doesn't want to live. They actually dare to fight in Mercenary City. Don't they know the rules of Mercenary City and the consequences of breaking them …"
"From the sound of it, the person who is fighting is not weak. I estimate that he is at least a Heaven Saint Master …"
"Everyone, let's go see how the person who dares to fight in Mercenary City will die …"
"Yes, let's go see what kind of punishment that person will receive. Although I have heard that fighting in Mercenary City is extremely dangerous, I still don't know who will be the one punishing the person who dares to fight in Mercenary City …"
The people on the streets whispered to each other as they discussed the matter. Soon after, quite a few people ran in the direction of the sound. They all wanted to see what would happen to the person who dared to fight in Mercenary City.
In the blink of an eye, the orderly streets became chaotic. Some of the mercenaries who were carrying goods did not even care about them and directly rode their magical beast mounts in the direction of the battle.
The news of the battle in Mercenary City quickly spread in all directions. Immediately, more and more people gathered in the direction of the battle. On one hand, they wanted to see what would happen. On the other hand, they wanted to see what kind of punishment would befall the person who dared to fight in Mercenary City. This was because they had only heard that fighting in Mercenary City would be severely punished. As for the exact punishment, very few people knew.
Very soon, the street where Jianchen and the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan were fighting was filled with people. Among them, there was no lack of people from powerful clans or organizations.
"That person is actually Jianchen. Sigh, this Jianchen is just too impulsive. Doesn't he know that fighting is forbidden in Mercenary City? With his strength as a Heaven Saint Master, he will definitely suffocate to death once he is struck by the barrier." A red-robed old man shook his head and sighed. He was a member of the Fire God Hall.
The middle-aged man from the Great Yong family also let out a long sigh. His face was filled with regret as he said, "This time Jianchen is definitely going to die. What a pity, what a pity. A peerless genius has appeared after so much difficulty. It's a pity that he will die in Mercenary City because of a moment of impulsiveness. Even if the great elder of Mercenary City personally intervenes, he will not be able to save his life."
"I never thought that the person who dared to fight in Mercenary City would be the Mercenary King Jianchen who won first place in the last Mercenary Tournament. Sigh, what a pity, what a pity. Such a peerless genius is destined to die in Mercenary City today. Does he not know that fighting is forbidden in Mercenary City? Once the rules are broken, even a Saint Ruler will have to suffer."
"This Jianchen is really too impulsive. Sigh, a peerless genius with a limitless future is going to die here. He will at least become a Saint Ruler in the future. Why is he so impulsive?"
Many of the spectators recognized Jianchen and shook their heads as they sighed. The rules against fighting in Mercenary City had been in place for countless years. Throughout history, anyone who dared to fight in Mercenary City would be severely punished. Even Saint Rulers were not an exception. Many Saint Rulers were even buried here forever. Therefore, no one believed that Jianchen could survive with just his strength as a Heaven Saint Master, even if he was the Mercenary King who won first place in the last Mercenary Tournament.
At this moment, Jianchen was still chasing after the Jiede family's ancestor. Pure Sword Qi shot out from his right hand one after another, but none of these attacks could hit the Jiede family's ancestor as he easily dodged them all. In the end, the Sword Qi shot out by Jianchen struck the buildings on both sides of the street, causing a series of loud explosions.
Although the streets of Mercenary City were protected by a mysterious power, the Sword Qi did not leave a single mark on the ground.
However, the buildings on both sides of the street did not enjoy such protection. Once they were hit by the Sword Qi, they were like fragile tofu, riddled with holes.
Seeing Jianchen chasing after him, the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family sneered: "Jianchen, prepare to die." As soon as he finished speaking, the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family borrowed the power of space and retreated a few hundred meters in the blink of an eye, calmly dodging Jianchen's attack.
"You from the Shi family, if you have the guts, then receive my attack. Don't you think that a mighty Saint Ruler being chased by a Heaven Saint Master that you've never taken seriously is beneath your status?" Jianchen roared loudly. He had finally found an opportunity to chase after the Saint Ruler, but because the difference in strength was too great, he could not hit his opponent at all. This made him very angry.
With a thought, Jianchen connected with the Yuan Qi of the world and controlled the surging Wind Elemental Energy to envelop his body. He then chased after the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family like a bolt of lightning. At the same time, he waved his hand and three two meter long Sword Qi shot out from his hand, leaving a trail of light in the air.
"Boom!" With three loud booms, the Saint King of the Jiede family easily dodged the three Sword Qis and sent them crashing into the street. The powerful shockwaves caused the surrounding shops to shake violently. There were even a few shops that were smashed into smithereens.
"Get out of the way, don't get caught in the crossfire."
It was unknown who shouted from the crowd, but the crowd that had gathered to watch the show quickly ran away, afraid of being implicated. Although there were quite a few experts hidden among them, they did not dare to act as recklessly as Jian Chen in Mercenary City. As a result, they did not dare to use their own strength to block the attacks. They were afraid that they would be mistaken for fighting in Mercenary City and be punished for it.
Hearing Jianchen's scolding, the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family was not angered. Instead, he sneered and replied, "Jianchen, your provocations are useless against me. You have caused such a big commotion in Mercenary City and have already caused serious consequences. This time, you will die without a doubt. Don't even think of dragging me down with you."
Jianchen gritted his teeth and did not say another word. He continued to chase after the Saint Ruler of the Jiede family. Although he could not hit his opponent, he still wanted to make him run around.
