Silence, deathly silence!
The fierce scene suddenly quieted down. Even the three Late Qi Hai warriors stopped fighting. Everyone's eyes fell on the young man in white who was standing alone.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood. Corpses and skulls were everywhere under his feet. It was a terrifying scene.
One minute, in just one minute, the young man had stabbed out nine times and killed nine people. One sword strike, no one survived.
"How did he do it?"
One of the mercenaries gasped and murmured.
Everyone present was at the Qi Hai Realm. The young man looked like he was only at the Early Stage of the Qi Hai Realm, but he had such powerful skills. Killing Qi Hai Realm warriors was as easy as killing dogs. Even a peak Qi Hai Realm warrior could not kill nine people in a minute.
The cruel methods and the cruel sword had completely changed everyone's impression of this seemingly harmless young man. In fact, along the way, no one really took Jiang Chen seriously. They just thought of him as a young master who had come out to gain experience in the outside world.
But now, they realized how ignorant they were.
"Who are you?"
Lee Long's expression finally changed. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a trembling voice.
"A mercenary."
Jiang Chen said lightly.
Yan Meng looked excited. He saw hope and was secretly glad that he hired Jiang Chen.
"This is between the Lee family and the Misty Rain Tower. I hope you don't get involved. If you leave now, the Lee family will not pursue you for killing so many of our people."
Lee Long said. He did not know why, but this young man gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Brother Jiang Chen, if you help me get through this, I will give you one hundred Elixir pills. The Misty Rain Tower will owe you a favor."
Yan Meng hurriedly said. At this point, even an idiot could tell Jiang Chen's true strength. Although he was young, he was cruel and powerful, and he had become the key person for today's battle. If Jiang Chen turned around and left, even if there were only two people left, the Misty Rain Tower would still be in trouble, because both of them were Late Qi Hai warriors.
"Yes, I will take this favor."
Jiang Chen nodded.
Hearing Jiang Chen agree, Yan Meng was overjoyed. The other two people from the Misty Rain Tower and the mercenaries were also overjoyed. In fact, even without the relationship with the Misty Rain Tower, Jiang Chen wouldn't let anyone from the Li Family go.
"Kill him."
Lee Long said to the other Late Qi Hai Realm elder with a ferocious face.
"Alright, let me see just how capable this kid is."
The old man's aura shook, the broadsword in his hand drew a shining arc, and with an extremely ferocious aura, he chopped towards Jiang Chen.
"Brother Jiang Chen, be careful!"
Yan Meng and Lee Long also stood together, not forgetting to remind Jiang Chen.
Boom!
The old man's saber let out a rumbling sound. This was a powerful saber technique. Its aura was boundless, like a bolt of lightning. Once it attacked, just its aura alone would be able to intimidate the enemy, causing them to tremble in fear.
It was obvious that the old man had used all of his strength in this attack.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, his expression was indifferent. Although this old man was a Late Qi Hai warrior, compared to Mu Rong Zhan, there was still a huge gap between them. If Jiang Chen could kill Mu Rong Zhan, then this old man would definitely be a piece of cake.
Although Jiang Chen's soul was injured, his body's combat power was still at its peak.
Swoosh!
Jiang Chen pointed out his finger like lightning, and a bright light shot out from his finger. It was like a bright light that lit up the night sky, and it collided with the old man's broadsword.
Clang!
Crack!
The Single Sun Finger collided with the broadsword, and a metallic sound was heard. Then, the sturdy broadsword broke into pieces, scattering in all directions.
Under such a strong impact, the old man took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Buzz!
Without giving the old man a chance to react, Jiang Chen moved again. His body was as fast as a leopard, and the long sword in his hand made a buzzing sound. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the old man.
Hiss!
The old man gasped. Jiang Chen's sword was only an inch away from his throat. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and he felt a chill in his bones. The smell of death instantly enveloped him. He had never thought that a young man could be this terrifying.
"No, don't kill me."
The old man was scared, and his voice was trembling.
Puchi!
Unfortunately, his begging was useless. Jiang Chen's sword mercilessly pierced into his throat, cutting off his life.
"My God, where did this monster come from?"
Wang Ting was so shocked that he could not shut his mouth.
"Such a cruel method, killing people like killing chickens. We mercenaries have climbed out of piles of corpses, and we have been through countless life and death situations. But my mentality is definitely not as good as his."
"I even looked down on him in the Mercenary Square. I am such an idiot."
Everyone was so shocked that they were breathing heavily. Jiang Chen's performance was too shocking to them. Even a Late Qi Hai warrior was easily killed by him. Most importantly, he did it without even blinking his eyes.
"Haha, Li Long, you have a good plan, but you did not expect me to have such a powerful helper, did you?"
Yan Meng laughed out loud.
Li Long's face turned pale. Today's plan was perfect. If everything went smoothly, Yan Meng would die, and the Pure-Yang fruit would be theirs. The young lady of the Yan family would die for sure. When that happened, the Yan family would fall into chaos and sorrow, and the Li family would have a chance.
But he did not expect that someone would appear out of nowhere and change the outcome so easily.
"Kid, I will remember you. Offending the Li family will not end well for you."
Li Long said fiercely, turned around and was about to run.
"Li Long, where are you going?"
Yan Meng shouted. Just as he was about to chase after Li Long, a white figure had already passed him and chased after him.
Swoosh!
The white figure was Jiang Chen. He was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had blocked Li Long's path.
"Still want to run?"
Jiang Chen sneered.
"Kid, we, the Li family, have no grudges against you. Why do you want to go against us?"
Li Long said loudly.
"Because you are from the Li family, and you deserve to die."
Jiang Chen said casually. After that, Jiang Chen pointed out his finger. The powerful Single Solar Finger locked onto Li Long and fiercely rushed towards him. No one knew how much power this attack contained.
Boom!
Lee Long couldn't block the [Solitary Sun Finger] at all. Although he tried his best, he was still sent flying by the golden finger. His back slammed into a rock, causing cracks to appear on the rock. He fell to the ground with a thud, coughing up blood.
"This is too scary."
Everyone was shocked, and they looked at Jiang Chen in horror.
Jiang Chen unhurriedly took out a Human Elixir and swallowed it. Using the Single Solar Finger twice in a row had consumed a lot of his energy.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen threw away the long sword in his hand and kicked with his foot. The long sword turned into a beam of light and flew out, piercing through Li Long's head. Only the hilt was left. It was obvious how powerful the attack was.
Yan Meng took a deep breath. Looking at Lee Long's death, he suddenly had a feeling that Jiang Chen had some sort of deep hatred towards the Lee family. That was why he wanted to kill them all.
"This young man is brave and ruthless. His expression is cold, and he kills people like flies. I really misjudged him."
Yan Meng sighed to himself. He remembered how he said that Jiang Chen was a flower in a greenhouse, and that he had never seen the world. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Yan Meng was blind. I didn't know that brother Jiang Chen was hiding his strength. If brother Jiang Chen didn't help us today, we would have all died here."
Yan Meng said with sincerity.
"Elder Yan, you don't have to be so polite. I took your money to help you. Remember to give me one hundred Human Elixir pills."
With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen took out his paper fan from his chest pocket. He once again looked like a young master, completely different from the murderous demon king he was before.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you saved our lives today. We will never be able to repay your kindness."
Wang Ting and the others walked up and said to Jiang Chen with their fists cupped. Everyone felt like they had just escaped from the edge of death. Their gratitude towards Jiang Chen came from the bottom of their hearts. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen, they would all have died here.
"Brother Jiang Chen, when we get to Red city, I will invite you to the Misty Rain Tower. I will report what happened today to the leader. I believe the leader will be very grateful."
Yan Meng said gratefully.
"Of course, of course."
Jiang Chen didn't refuse. The Misty Rain Tower was his target. Whatever he wanted, they might have it.
"Let's go! Brothers, when we get to the Misty Rain Tower, it's my treat!"
Yan Meng said to the mercenaries. The crisis was over, so he was in a good mood. The group relaxed and headed towards Red city.
"Elder Yan, I heard that the lady of the Yan family has a terminal illness. What is her condition?"
On the way, Jiang Chen asked.
"Sigh, Brother Jiang Chen, you don't know this, but our young lady has always been smart and talented. She reached the fifth level of the Qi Jing realm when she was six years old. She is a genius amongst geniuses, but it's a pity."
Yan Meng's face was full of regret when he mentioned the lady.
"Elder Yan, tell me about her condition. Maybe I can help her."
Jiang Chen said.
"You can help her?"
Yan Meng's eyes brightened, then dimmed again, "Impossible, there is no way. Our lady will not live past the age of fifteen. Even the Pure-Yang fruit won't be able to save her. Ever since she was seven years old, her illness would break out once a year. Every time it breaks out, her whole body would freeze, it would be a bone-chilling cold. Our lady has endured a lot of pain. She almost died every time. Now she is fourteen years old, but this illness has broken out eight times, and each time it gets worse than the last. The Yan family has asked all the famous doctors and alchemists in Red city, but they all concluded that our lady will not live past the age of fifteen."
"Bone-Chilling cold? Breaking out once a year?"
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
"I can cure your lady's illness."
Jiang Chen said.
"What? Brother Jiang Chen, are you kidding me? "
Yan Meng exclaimed.
"But, I need to check on your lady's condition before I can decide."
