"Haha, you little snake, do you think you can escape? Hand over your essence obediently," a heavy voice rang out as soon as Nubis finished speaking. A burly, middle-aged man in golden clothes appeared out of nowhere, blocking the path of Jianchen and Nubis.
Nubis's face became extremely ugly. He angrily bellowed, "We're very close to Mercenary City. If you try anything, you'll definitely alarm the supreme experts of Mercenary City. At that time, you won't be able to escape even if you're a Class 8 Magical Beast."
"Hehe, you're pretty smart, little snake. You know that there's barely anyone who's my opponent on the Tian Yuan Continent, which is why you've led me to Mercenary City. However, you've used a secret technique to escape without any regard for the consequences. You're already close to death. I only need to move a finger to kill you. I won't alarm the supreme experts of Mercenary City at all." The middle-aged man sneered and directly extended his hand toward Nubis. Wherever his palm passed, a powerful energy tore through the void. This palm seemed ordinary, but it contained a great power that could cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.
Jianchen and Nubis were immobilized by the frozen space. They could only watch as the hand rapidly approached them. The two of them were unable to forcefully break free from the space sealed by a Class 8 Magical Beast.
"Magical beasts from the Beast God Continent have actually infiltrated my Tian Yuan Continent. How bold of you."
At this moment, a cold and dignified voice rang out from nowhere. The white-robed Tian Jian suddenly appeared, blocking Jianchen and Nubis. Tian Jian directly extended a finger and the space before him shook. A finger-sized hole appeared in the hand that reached toward Jianchen and Nubis.
Not only did Tian Jian's finger pierce through the hand of the Class 8 Magic Beast, but the remaining force also pierced through the hand and into the chest of the Class 8 Magic Beast, creating a finger-sized hole in his chest.
The powerful body of the Class 8 Magical Beast was as fragile as tofu before Tian Jian's casual gesture.
The Class 8 Magical Beast that had infiltrated the Tian Yuan Continent grunted as he stared at Tian Jian in shock. When he recognized Tian Jian's identity, he immediately paled in fright and became frightened out of his wits. He did not even think about fighting back. Without any hesitation, he immediately vanished, having used a secret technique to flee.
Tian Jian said emotionlessly, "Nine Godly Arts, World Seal!"
The space in a radius of ten thousand kilometers froze at that moment. It was as if a mysterious and powerful energy had sealed the space there. Not only did it seal space, but time as well. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze and time seemed to stop. Everything in the world seemed to come to a standstill.
The Class 8 Magical Beast's figure that had originally vanished reappeared a hundred kilometers away. At this moment, he was trapped in the air, unable to move at all. His face was filled with fear.
Tian Jian took a step forward and crossed a hundred kilometers in a single instance, directly appearing before the Class 8 Magical Beast. He gently pressed his hand against the head of the Class 8 Magical Beast.
The Class 8 Demonic Beast trembled and the light in its eyes rapidly faded away. It became hollow and lifeless. Its soul had been dispersed by Tian Jian's gentle palm strike, obliterating it completely. It did not even have the ability to resist.
With the death of the Class 8 Magical Beast, the sealed space in the surroundings returned to normal. Tian Jian arrived beside Jianchen in a flash with the corpse of the Class 8 Magical Beast. He said, "I never thought that a Class 8 Magical Beast would infiltrate my Tian Yuan Continent. Fortunately, I ran into him, or there wouldn't be a lot of people on the Tian Yuan Continent who could stop him with his supreme battle prowess as a beast of antiquity."
Jianchen and Nubis became stunned as they stared at the middle-aged man in Tian Jian's hand. They could not be any more shocked.
A Class 8 Magical Beast that was a Golden-striped Silver Snake had been slain by Tian Jian so effortlessly. The strength that Tian Jian had displayed had deeply shocked the two of them.
The two of them had never thought that killing a Class 8 Magical Beast that was on par with the Holy Emperor would be so easy.
Killing a Class 8 Magical Beast was nothing out of the ordinary for Tian Jian. It did not cause any ripples in his emotions at all. Everything seemed to be very normal. Tian Jian arrived before Jianchen and looked at Jianchen calmly. He asked, "Is it all done?"
Jianchen sucked in a deep breath. He glanced at the Class 8 Magical Beast in Tian Jian's hand with some fright. He gulped with difficulty and said, "Senior, this junior's matter has been dealt with. We can set off now."
"We can't waste any more time. Come with me right now," Tian Jian ripped open space with a wave of his hand and used the Holy Emperor's ability to create a Space Gate.
"Jianchen, where are you going? Oh right, I sensed the presence of many experts from the Beast God Continent a few days ago. Have the magical beasts from the Beast God Continent come to the Tian Yuan Continent? "Nubis also returned to his senses and asked from one side. During this time, he had been hunted down by the old snake, so he had left the Flame Mercenaries before he could contact anyone. He had been running for his life the entire time, so he had no idea that the news of the Winged Tiger had been leaked.
Jianchen nodded, "The experts from the Beast God Continent have come for the Winged Tiger. Now that the news of the Winged Tiger has been leaked, the ten protector clans are searching for me across the entire continent. It's no longer safe for me to stay here, so I need to seek refuge with the Sea race."
"The Sea race!" Nubis was slightly surprised. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I don't know if there are any other experts of the same race on the Beast God Continent. Since the Beast God Continent has already invaded the Tian Yuan Continent, it's no longer safe for me to stay here. It'll be troublesome if I'm discovered by the experts of the same race. As a magical beast, those human experts would obviously be eager to see us kill each other, so they won't save me. Jianchen, why don't I go with you to seek refuge with the Sea race? "
Golden-striped Silver Snakes were beasts of antiquity, but they were a cruel race. If the members of the same race wanted to rapidly increase their strength or evolve, they needed to kill each other and absorb the essence of their clansmen.
"Sure. Senior Tian Jian, why don't you send Nubis over as well," Jianchen pleaded.
"Yeah, your chances of survival will be greater with the two of you together. However, there's one thing I need to remind you. The situation of the Sea race is unknown, and Poseidon is still alive. They might be even more powerful than our Tian Yuan Continent, so you need to be careful once you get there," Tian Jian warned.
"Don't worry, senior. We will definitely be careful," Jianchen replied.
Tian Jian then looked at Nubis and tossed the corpse of the Class 8 Magical Beast he had just killed to him. He said, "This Golden-striped Silver Snake has already reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of the Holy Emperor. As a member of the same race, you can absorb its essence to strengthen yourself. It should be able to increase your strength by quite a lot. Take it."
Nubis immediately became extremely overjoyed. He accepted the corpse from Tian Jian in a hurry. He was so overjoyed that his voice began to tremble, "Thank you, senior. I will never forget senior's grace of rebirth. I will definitely repay senior if I have the chance in the future." In Nubis's eyes, the corpse of the Class 8 Magical Beast that Tian Jian had given him was basically a great fortune. Moreover, the Class 8 Magical Beast had already reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer. If he absorbed the essence, his strength would definitely skyrocket or even evolve.
Tian Jian did not pay any attention to Nubis. He said, "The territory of the Sea race is in the direction of the northern sea. This place is extremely far from the northern sea, tens of millions of kilometers away. The ripples from creating a Space Gate so far away will definitely be sensed by other experts. Let's return to Mercenary City first and use the Space Gate there to leave without anyone noticing." As he said that, Tian Jian waved his hand and disappeared into the Space Gate with Jianchen and Nubis.
After Tian Jian left, a figure silently appeared in the air. He stared at where the Space Gate had closed up sternly and murmured, "There really is a Holy Emperor beside Jianchen. That person's strength is just too terrifying, killing a Class 8 Magical Beast at the Fourth Heavenly Layer without any effort at all. He's definitely not someone I can compare to."
"And the ability that sealed up space earlier must be a Saint Tier Battle Skill. It seems extremely similar to the Nine Godly Arts from the legends of Mercenary City. It's said that the Nine Godly Arts were left behind by Mo Tianyun in the past. It has a total of nine abilities, and one of them, Heaven and Earth Seal, seems to be able to achieve such an effect. Is the person beside Jianchen an expert of Mercenary City? "
He was the ancestor of the Kara clan.
When Jianchen and Nubis reappeared, they had already arrived at the hovering divine hall where they had first met Tian Jian during the tournament of mercenaries.
Jianchen hesitated for a while as he stood in the hovering divine hall before clasping his hands at Tian Jian, "Senior, I have a presumptuous request. I hope that you can place the remains of my parents in Mercenary City. I don't know if I'll be able to return after this. If I can't, I hope that senior can think of a way to revive my parents. "
Tian Jian hesitated for a while, but he still nodded in the end.
Jianchen did not choose to take his parents' remains with him to the Sea race. The journey to the Sea race this time was filled with unknown dangers, and it was difficult to predict whether he would survive. If he died, his parents would never be able to be revived. As a result, he chose to place his parents' remains in Mercenary City in the end.
"Hmm? Big brother, you've finally come to visit Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling misses you so much." At this moment, a clear and rather innocent voice rang out in Jianchen's ears. Afterwards, Xiao Ling's petite figure appeared out of nowhere in the divine hall.
"Big brother, what's wrong? Have you encountered something unhappy? Xiao Ling can feel that you're very sad. Hehe, but it's fine. Big brother, you have Xiao Ling with you. You'll be happy as long as you see Xiao Ling, right? Big brother, smile. "Xiao Ling arrived beside Jianchen and pulled on Jianchen's arm intimately, swinging it back and forth.
Xiao Ling's appearance finally eased Jianchen's gloomy mood from being away from home. He looked at Xiao Ling gently as he faintly smiled, "Xiao Ling, big brother is about to go on a long journey. I don't know when I'll be able to return this time, so I probably won't be able to see you for a very long time in the future."
