The actions of the two startled all the bystanders in the restaurant. However, they didn't think much of it. In the Tian Yuan Continent, there were all kinds of people. There were some who would rather throw away their lives than admit their mistakes. There were also some who were afraid of death who would do anything when their lives were in danger, even betraying their brothers and friends.
Jianchen slowly lowered the Light Wind Sword and pointed it at the ground. His eyes were cold as he looked at the two begging mercenaries. His eyebrows slightly wrinkled as he looked at them with a look of disdain. Towards people who were afraid of death, Jianchen hated them the most.
Seeing Jianchen lower his sword, the two begging mercenaries thought that Jianchen was really going to let them go. Their faces couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy. But before they could be happy for long, a cold and indifferent sentence caused their happy faces to freeze.
"I already gave you a chance before, but unfortunately, you didn't cherish it. Now, begging for mercy is already too much." A deep and cold voice came out from Jianchen's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, Jianchen's right hand suddenly turned into a blur and swept out. Under the control of his arm, the Light Wind Sword in his right hand turned into a silver bolt of lightning and pierced towards the two mercenaries.
Before the two mercenaries could even react, the sharp edge of the Light Wind Sword had already cut through their necks, leaving behind a thin line of blood. In the next moment, a large amount of blood flowed out from the small wound and dyed their necks red.
If the two mercenaries had resisted, then it would have been impossible for Jianchen to kill them without a bit of effort. If they were lucky, then they might have been able to escape from Jianchen's hands. Unfortunately, they had already been frightened by Jianchen's lightning-fast killing of two of their companions. The fear in their hearts had caused them to lose all will to resist, which was why they were so easily killed by Jianchen.
After effortlessly killing the two mercenaries, Jian Chen's body flickered as he once again appeared in front of the last mercenary. The Light Wind Sword in his hand turned into a silver ray of light as it sliced through the mercenary's neck.
In just a few breaths of time, the five mercenaries of the Great Desert Mercenary Group had all died at the hands of Jianchen.
After killing the five mercenaries, Jianchen's expression didn't change in the slightest. He then took out a few gold coins from his spatial belt and indifferently said, "These gold coins can be considered as your clean-up fee." With that said, Jianchen calmly walked out of the restaurant.
The Tian Yuan Continent was an extremely cruel world. Here, there were conflicts and killings occurring everywhere. The people of the Tian Yuan Continent had long since become accustomed to these kinds of things. Although a massacre had occurred in the restaurant, to the diners of the restaurant, as long as it didn't involve them, it was completely fine. The bloody scene didn't affect their appetite at all.
Watching Jianchen leave, the entire restaurant fell into a strange silence. At this moment, everyone forgot to eat as they stared blankly at the direction in which Jianchen had left and at the five dead mercenaries. From their eyes, one could see the shock and disbelief in their eyes.
After a long while, the sound of a cold breath being sucked in could be heard from the quiet restaurant. Following that, a voice filled with amazement could be heard.
"What a fast sword. Not only was it so fast that people couldn't react to it, but it also had such precise control. This is the first time I've seen such a thing in all my years in the Tian Yuan Continent." The one who spoke was a middle aged man wearing a blue robe. At the same time, he was also one of the few people in the restaurant who could vaguely see the sword's shadow.
"This person doesn't look old, but his strength isn't weak. Moreover, his attacks are very ruthless, directly killing with one strike. It seems like he isn't someone from a big family, or he has a very powerful master behind him."
"I wonder what his name is. With his strength, it would be great if he could join our mercenary group. At that time, our mercenary group's strength would increase by quite a lot," a young man softly murmured.
With that, a person who seemed to be around the same age as the young man beside him said, "Alright, stop dreaming. He seems much younger than you, yet he possesses such strength. A person like him definitely doesn't have a simple identity. A small mercenary group like ours can't attract an expert like him. Moreover, he killed five members of the Grand Desert Mercenary Group here, so they definitely won't let this matter go. If he really does join us, he might even cause us a lot of trouble. After all, a small mercenary group like ours is not the opponent of the Grand Desert Mercenary Group that has over a thousand people."
… …
After leaving the restaurant, Jianchen directly went to the Mercenary Trade Union. He found a mission to escort a caravan and accepted it. Fortunately, the mission Jianchen accepted wasn't far, so with his mercenary rank, he was still able to accept the mission.
Wake City was a third grade city. Although it was only a third grade city, its tall and thick walls were comparable to a first grade city's. This was because in a mountain range not far from Wake City lived a large number of magic beasts. These magic beasts would often attack the city on a large scale, so even though Wake City was only a third grade city, its walls were extremely sturdy. This was also to prevent magic beast attacks.
At noon, the fiery red sun in the sky emitted a dazzling light. The intense light made it difficult for people to raise their heads to look at the sky. Many mercenaries who walked on the road half-closed their eyes to reduce the sun's irritation to their eyes.
Outside of Wake City, a caravan of two to three hundred people was slowly advancing on the main road towards the city gates that weren't very tall.
"This damned weather, why is it so hot? How can we live like this?"
In the caravan, a half-naked man couldn't help but curse. As he spoke, he took out a water bottle and fiercely gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.
Not far from the burly man, a young man dressed in simple and coarse clothes was sitting on a white horse with his eyes closed. Looking at his serene appearance, it was as if he had fallen asleep.
The youth's appearance was very ordinary. He was the kind of person that could be easily found in a crowd. From his appearance, he seemed to be in his twenties.
Although the sun was high in the sky, the youth still covered his entire body tightly. Although his clothes weren't too thick, it wasn't something that an ordinary person could bear. The most surprising thing was that there wasn't a single drop of sweat on the youth's forehead.
Compared to the half-naked mercenaries and merchants in the caravan, this youth's appearance was clearly different. Although many mercenaries and merchants kept looking at the youth with strange gazes, none of them went up to talk to him.
This youth was Jianchen.
