"Hahaha, Saint Slaying? That's right. Today, we'll slay a Saint Ruler!" Nubis laughed loudly as he pierced the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler's chest, tearing off a large piece of flesh. The Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler groaned in pain.
"Slaying a Saint? You don't have the ability to do that!" The Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler roared with a ferocious expression. His figure flashed and disappeared from the sight of Jianchen and the others. He had already used the power of space to escape the encirclement of the three and appeared a hundred meters away.
He was now in a sorry state. His hair was disheveled and his face was pale. His white robes had been stained red by the Saint Ruler's blood. He had long lost his previous elegance.
Jianchen used the Illusory Flash and charged at the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler a hundred meters away. He did not give the Saint Ruler any time to catch his breath. Behind him, Nubis and Jiede Tai also surrounded the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler.
The Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler glared venomously at Jianchen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Jianchen, Old Man will remember what happened today. There will be plenty of time in the future. Old Man will come looking for you very soon." After saying that, the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler ignored the experts from the other sects. His figure flashed and he turned into a streak of light, escaping into the distance at an unbelievable speed. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler disappear without a trace, Jianchen sighed regretfully and said, "He actually escaped. What a pity. Today should have been the best chance to kill him!"
The golden-robed Nubis stood beside Jianchen and gazed in the direction the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler had disappeared. He said, "How can a Saint Ruler be killed so easily? Unless you can suppress him with absolute strength, no one can stop him if he wants to escape. At the same time, he's already at the Fourth Heavenly Layer, one Heavenly Layer higher than the two of us. His comprehension of the mysteries of space is deeper than ours. We can't catch up to him even if we want to."
Jianchen stared deeply at Nubis. As a Golden-Striped Silver Snake of ancient times, Nubis' battle prowess was not something that could be defeated by others of the same level. He could even challenge opponents of higher levels. As a Golden-Striped Silver Snake, he was most famous for his venom, which was one of the top three venomous creatures on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Although Nubis had heavily injured the Dragon Tiger Sect's Saint Ruler, he had not used his venom at all. Even the strength he had displayed was very ordinary, almost on par with Jiede Tai. Clearly, he had not used his full strength. Jianchen was extremely dissatisfied with this, but he did not say anything about it.
"Saint Rulers are indeed difficult to kill. If they want to flee, it'll be very difficult to hunt them down. They can travel a thousand kilometers in a single instance. If you don't leave behind an imprint on them, they'll vanish from your senses in the blink of an eye. You won't be able to find them. However, they'll have to pay a certain price for that," Jiede Tai added as well. He agreed with Nubis.
Jianchen frowned slightly and said, "Then how can I kill him?"
The two of them fell silent for a while before Jiede Tai finally spoke, "If you want to kill a Saint Ruler of the Fourth Heavenly Layer, unless you have mastered a legendary Saint Tier Battle Skill, I'm afraid only a Saint Ruler of the Seventh Heavenly Layer and above can kill him. This is because a Saint Ruler of the Fourth Heavenly Layer will find it very difficult to escape from a Saint Ruler of the Seventh Heavenly Layer. They might not even have the ability to escape."
"Looks like it won't be easy to kill the Saint Ruler of the Dragon and Tiger Sect." Jianchen softly murmured. According to his original plan, he wanted to kill the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect on the spot. Unfortunately, he did not manage to do so in the end.
In the distance, the Heaven Saint Masters of the Dragon Tiger Sect all paled in fright when they saw that their old sect master had been defeated. They did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly turned around to flee.
Jianchen sensed their movements and a cold light flashed through his eyes. He growled, "Since you've come, I can't let you go so easily." Jianchen directly struck out with his palm and a vast amount of energy surged toward the Heaven Saint Masters of the Dragon Tiger Sect. The energy compressed the space around them and froze them. The Heaven Saint Masters of the Dragon Tiger Sect were forcefully frozen in the air.
"Boom!" The shockwave of energy directly struck them and sent them flying. Over a dozen of them died on the spot and fell from the sky powerlessly. In the end, only the Sixth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master, the Fifth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master, and an old man managed to survive. However, they were heavily injured and could no longer remain airborne.
"Let's go!" The sect master of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Chris, let out a hoarse roar. He used all his strength to control the energy of the world to stabilize himself before fleeing with the other two experts who managed to survive.
Jianchen did not kill the three of them. With his current level of experience, he could not be bothered to deal with a second Heaven Saint Master.
"Let's go back!" Jianchen called out and brought Jiede Tai and Nubis back to Ming Dong's group.
"Jianchen, it's only been a few months since we last met. Have you already broken through the Heaven Saint Master realm and entered the Saint Ruler realm?"
"Brother, you're injured. Is it serious?"
Jianchen's group immediately surrounded him and began to talk. All of their faces were filled with unconcealable excitement. They felt joy from the bottom of their hearts when they learned that Jianchen had broken through.
In the distance, the Heaven Saint Masters of the Flame Mercenaries all gathered around as well. They all stared at Jianchen, who was much younger than them, with mixed feelings. The battle between Jianchen and the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect had deeply shocked them.
It had only been a short while since they last met, yet Jianchen had already broken through to the Saint Ruler realm. This was a goal that they all yearned for, yet it had actually been reached by Jianchen so easily.
At that moment, the Heaven Saint Masters all looked at Jianchen with unconcealable envy, as well as some jealousy and respect.
The difference between a Saint Ruler and a Heaven Saint Master was like a chasm. The current Jianchen was enough for the Heaven Saint Masters to respect him.
However, what they did not know was that Jianchen was still a Heaven Saint Master. He had not truly become a Saint Ruler.
The strength of Jianchen, Jiedetai, and Nubis had been completely exposed to the experts of the Flame Mercenaries after the battle. With the three Saint Rulers present, the upper echelon of the Flame Mercenaries became much more confident. The mental pressure they had felt from the news of the tungsten alloy mine had completely vanished.
After personally witnessing Jianchen's group of three repel the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect and seeing Jianchen kill over a dozen Heaven Saint Masters from the Dragon Tiger Sect with a single palm strike, all of them realized that the Flame Mercenaries now possessed the ability to look down on the Tian Yuan Continent.
With the talent Jianchen had displayed, they dared not imagine just what level of strength he would reach if he was given some more time.
After successfully repelling the Dragon Tiger Sect, Jianchen's group did not stay any longer. They directly returned to the imperial palace of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.
The upper echelon of the Flame Mercenaries had all gathered in the discussion hall of the imperial palace to discuss important matters.
"Since the tungsten alloy mine has already been exposed, there's no need for us to be secretive like before. Let's just mine as much as we can. We need to obtain as much tungsten alloy as possible. I'm afraid that some unforeseen events will happen in the future," Jianchen sternly said as he sat at the head of the table. Although the Flame Mercenaries were no longer weaker than the Shi family, tungsten alloy ore was just too precious on the Tian Yuan Continent. Moreover, it was a large mine, so he really was worried that they would provoke an enemy even more powerful than the Dragon Tiger Sect.
"We're already mining as much as we can, but the tungsten alloy ore is very tough. It's very difficult to mine it, so our progress has always been very slow. We've only mined a small portion of it right now, and we've even hired the best smiths to forge it. We'll do our best to create a batch of extremely tough armor for the members of the Flame Mercenaries as soon as possible," You Yue said.
Jianchen nodded in satisfaction, "The tungsten alloy mine takes up a very large area. We can hire a few more people to mine it from different locations. This matter cannot be delayed. We need to deal with it immediately."
Just as Jianchen's group gathered in the discussion hall to discuss the tungsten alloy mine and the subsequent matters, the great disturbance caused by the battle between the three of them and the Saint Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect had caused an uproar. The energy of the world violently pulsed in a radius of ten thousand kilometers, allowing all the Heaven Saint Masters to clearly sense it. It shocked all of them.
A battle between Saint Rulers was just far too rare on the Tian Yuan Continent. This was because experts like them basically all cultivated in seclusion. They rarely ventured out, let alone a great battle.
The matter this time attracted the attention of all the experts in a radius of ten thousand kilometers. Many Heaven Saint Masters gathered at the location of the battle from all directions and used various methods to ask the members of the Flame Mercenaries for more details.
They learned very quickly that the captain of the Flame Mercenaries was already a Saint Ruler and that there were two other Saint Rulers personally overseeing the battle. This news greatly shocked everyone. They were deeply shocked by the strength of the Flame Mercenaries.
Thousands of miles away, in a pitch-black cave, the Holy Ruler of the Dragon Tiger Sect was sitting cross-legged in a pool of blood, recuperating from his injuries. After taking a few Level 6 Light Divine Pills, he had finally recovered by more than half.
