The strength that Jianchen had displayed made the boss of the Serpent Dragon Bandits feel slightly threatened. Even though he believed himself to be the strongest below Saint Ruler, he had to admit that he could not break a Saint Weapon like Jianchen with his bare hands. Even if he used a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, it would be very difficult for him to shatter a Heaven Saint Master's Saint Weapon. As a result, he had taken out the greatest trump card of the Serpent Dragon Bandits without any hesitation.
The fourteen Heaven Saint Masters were all senior members of the Serpent Dragon Bandits. Every single one of them was powerful, with the weakest being a Third Cycle Heaven Saint Master. They had already followed the boss for many years. However, the Serpent Dragon Bandits had been peaceful recently, which was why they had chosen to enter seclusion in the mountains. They had forgotten about breaking through. Only when the Serpent Dragon Bandits faced a great threat would the fourteen of them emerge.
Fourteen experts flew over from afar with monstrous auras. Soon, they stopped in an open space outside the villa. First, they quickly scanned the surroundings, then they walked up to the First Master, cupped their hands, and said, "First Master!"
The arrival of the fourteen experts immediately calmed down the Serpent Dragon Bandits. In their opinion, even though Jianchen was very powerful, he would not be able to fend off so many people. If so many experts attacked him together, it would be impossible for him to survive.
The boss looked at the fourteen experts with a smile. The arrival of the fourteen people made him feel extremely confident. The mental pressure that Jianchen gave him had completely vanished.
"Boss, you've actually summoned all fourteen of us today. Is our Serpent Dragon Bandits facing a great threat?" Among the fourteen people, an old man who seemed to be the oldest asked. The old man was extremely old, and the wrinkles on his face had already completely covered his face. His voice was extremely hoarse and weak, giving off the feeling that he was an old man who was about to enter the earth and would not live for much longer.
"Elder Li's guess is correct. Today, our Flood Dragon Bandits have indeed encountered some trouble. Not only were the four protectors of Tianluo and Disha killed, but an elder was also killed. Two elders were heavily injured and their fate is unknown. That's why we had no choice but to invite all of you out," said the Great Leader.
A gleam of light flashed through the eyes of the old man called elder Li. His gaze immediately landed on the people from the Tianqin clan. Aside from the people from the Wyrm Bandits, there was only the people from the Tianqin clan. Moreover, from the way the two sides were facing each other, elder Li did not need to think too much to know that the people before him were enemies of the Wyrm Bandits.
"Tian Luo and Di Sha, these four brats aren't weak at all. I didn't expect that they would all die in your hands. Who is the one who killed Tian Luo and Di Sha? Stand out, Old Man. Let me, Li Gui, have a good taste of your skills." Elder Li's eyes were filled with murderous intent. His hoarse voice was filled with icy coldness. When those words fell into the ears of the weaker people, they felt a chill run through their bodies. It was as if the surrounding temperature had dropped rapidly following the malicious spirit's words.
"Li Gui, you're actually a malicious spirit. You're actually still alive!" A great elder of the Tianqin clan stared at Li Gui in surprise. He was not unfamiliar with Li Gui at all. Five hundred years ago, Li Gui was the strongest person in the Wyrm Bandits aside from the Great Leader. Moreover, he was vicious and merciless when he did things, even surpassing the Four Demon Generals of Tianluo and Disha. He had made a great name for himself in the region.
Li Gui's gaze immediately landed on the great elder of the Tianqin clan. He sneered, "I never thought that after being a hermit for so many years, there would still be people who would know of the name of the Old Man. It really does surprise the Old Man. However, the Old Man won't die so easily."
"Heaven Saint Masters only have a lifespan of a thousand years. Li Gui, you don't have much longer to live." Another great elder of the Tianqin clan coldly said to Li Gui.
Li Gui's face sank. He snorted coldly, "The Old Man may not have reached Saint Ruler, but he has reached the peak of the Sixth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master. He's only a step away from Saint Ruler. The three of you are only at the Second Cycle and the Third Cycle, yet you dare to act so arrogantly before the Old Man. You really don't know what's good for you. The Old Man will never forgive you." The air in the surroundings began to violently pulse. Li Gui had already begun to control the energy of the world with his mind. Clearly, he was about to begin.
The three great elders of the Tianqin clan were extremely fearful of Li Gui because they were not his opponent even if they worked together. Seeing that Li Gui was about to begin, the third great elder hurriedly said, "Today, my Tianqin clan will follow Jianchen's lead. All of the actions of my clan will be led by Jianchen. Li Gui, if you have the ability, go through Jianchen first."
Li Gui glared at Jianchen, who stood at the very front. Although he was unable to see through Jianchen's strength, he could sense an unusual presence from Jianchen with his cultivation as a Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Master.
"Kid, which organisation do you belong to? Tell me your name." The malicious ghost knew that since the three Heaven Saint Masters of the Tianqin clan followed the young man's orders, the young man definitely had an extraordinary background or possessed the power to make the three Heaven Saint Masters submit to him.
Li Gui had never considered the possibility of becoming a Saint Ruler because he had been stuck at the Sixth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master for many years. He did not even know just how difficult it was to break through to Saint Ruler. He refused to believe that the young man before him was a Saint Ruler.
"He's called Jianchen. Is he the Jianchen who won first place in the last Mercenary Tournament?"
"Is he the Mercenary King, Jianchen? There were even rumors a few days ago that he killed four Heaven Saint Masters outside Mercenary City all by himself. "
The middle-aged men behind the first boss cried out. With that, everyone knew Jianchen's identity.
"So he's Jianchen. No wonder he possesses such strength." The light in the first boss' eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"What? The Mercenary King? If that's the case, you should have a Heaven Tier Battle Skill on you." Li Gui was rather surprised by Jianchen's identity as well, but he soon sneered. Undisguised greed filled his eyes.
Jianchen sneered, "I do have quite a few Heaven Tier Battle Skills on me, but I wonder if you have the ability to take them." With that, Jianchen did not look at Li Gui's expression. He stared at the first boss and said, "First boss, it looks like you don't plan on handing her over."
"Jianchen, the Serpent Dragon Bandits do not want to become enemies with you. It's best if you don't get involved in this matter. If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones. As for letting her go, hmph, that's impossible. If the bride suddenly leaves right before the wedding, where will the dignity of the Serpent Dragon Bandits go?" The first boss paused for a moment before continuing, "You may be very powerful, where regular Heaven Saint Masters won't be able to harm you, but there are over twenty Heaven Saint Masters on my Coiling Dragon Mountain. At the same time, elder Li and I are both peak Heaven Saint Masters. If we all attack together, do you think you can handle us?"
With the first boss's words, a few more Heaven Saint Masters stepped out from behind him. They stood beside the fourteenth elder. Afterward, a tremendous presence radiated from them without any restraint. The presence of over twenty Heaven Saint Masters intertwined in the air, forming an extremely great pressure that swept toward Jianchen.
Although they had all witnessed Jianchen's strength, they did not believe that Jianchen could take on over twenty Heaven Saint Masters all by himself, especially when two of them were peak Heaven Saint Masters.
The presence of over twenty Heaven Saint Masters was unable to approach Jianchen at all. Just when they were a meter away from Jianchen, they seemed to be stopped by an invisible ball of energy.
Jianchen's face was sunken as he glared at the twenty Heaven Saint Masters. A powerful killing intent radiated from him as he heavily said, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being merciless."
As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, the space in front of him suddenly froze, trapping the twenty Heaven Saint Masters, including the first boss and Li Gui. They were unable to move at all.
Sensing the change in space around them, the twenty Heaven Saint Masters of the Serpent Dragon Bandits all became extremely shocked.
"This is the ability to control space. Only Saint Rulers possess this ability. Y- y- no, this is impossible. This is completely impossible. Old Man has been stuck at the peak of Heaven Saint Master for over four hundred years. He hasn't even comprehended a single bit of the mysteries of the world, so how did you get there first?" Li Gui paled in fright. He was no longer able to maintain his composure. Saint Ruler. Over the past several hundred years, he had always wanted to step into this supreme realm, but in the end, he hadn't even touched the edge of the mysteries of the world. Yet, an unbelievably young man had actually appeared before him, successfully stepping into the realm he had always dreamed of. This was hard to believe, and he didn't dare to accept it.
"Jianchen, y- y- you've actually reached Saint Ruler already. How is that possible? You only participated in the Mercenary Competition not too long ago, so you definitely can't be over fifty. How can you reach Saint Ruler so quickly? No, this is impossible. This is completely impossible." The first boss paled in fright as his heart churned.
When the bandits who had surrounded Jianchen heard that Jianchen had reached Saint Ruler, all of them turned pale with fright.
Their faces immediately paled from fright. Without needing any orders, they all threw away their armor and scattered. They no longer dared to surround the group of people from the Tianqin clan, fleeing far away. However, there were a few fearless people who stayed in the distance and watched.
"It's a pity that you found out too late. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it. Don't blame me now. Today, I'll remove a tumor for the Tian Yuan Continent." Heavy killing intent flickered in Jianchen's eyes. With a wave of his right hand, invisible World Force immediately gathered in his right hand, turning into a sharp blade that he swung toward the Heaven Saint Masters.
Everyone below Saint Ruler was an ant. Even Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Masters could not flee from a Saint Ruler. Over twenty Heaven Saint Masters were struck by the World Force and directly died. Even the Sixth Cycle Heaven Saint Masters were not spared.
However, when the blade of World Force landed on the first boss, a dazzling ball of golden light suddenly appeared. It actually nullified the World Force that only Saint Rulers could control. At the same time, a mysterious power vaguely surged out of the golden light, breaking through Jianchen's frozen space. The surrounding space returned to normal.
"That's the first boss's defensive treasure, the Golden Silk Armor. I never thought that it could actually block the attack of a Saint Ruler. Unbelievable," the great elder of the Tianqin clan could not help but sigh in amazement.
A sliver of surprise flashed through Jian Chen's eyes. He had also heard that the first boss possessed an extremely powerful armor made of golden silk, but he had never thought that it would be able to resist his World Force and even break through his frozen space. He found this to be very unbelievable.
