Chapter 31
Chapter 31 – The Killing Sword
“Haha, we’ll reach Red city after passing this hill. Once we reach Red city, we’ll be entering Misty Rain Tower’s territory. No one will dare to attempt to trouble us. This is an awesome mission; I earned 20 mortal restoration pills from doing almost nothing!”
Wang Ting and the rest of the mercenaries were all happy and relaxed. When they reach Red city, they would be done with this mission.
A few of the mercenaries had excited looks on their faces, imagining the mortal restoration pills that would soon be in their hands. None of them had noticed the expression on Yan Meng’s face.
Jiang Chen had sharp senses, and he had developed his Divine Sense, allowing him to use mind force. He discovered that Yan Meng was increasingly looking more tense. The other two men from the Yan family were also nervous.
“I knew it wouldn’t be so simple.”
Jiang Chen smiled secretly. Yan Meng was not an idiot. If this wasn’t a dangerous mission, then he wouldn’t have spent so much money hiring so many Qi Hai warriors. He didn’t even start the journey until they had more than 8 men.
Furthermore, after using his Divine Sense, he discovered that the carriage was empty. There was nothing in it. It was being used as a disguise.
Furthermore, the chance to kill someone powerful from the Misty Rain Tower and damage their family was an opportunity the Lee family would seize no matter what.
Clang!
The men from the Lee family drew their weapons and circled the caravan. From the looks of it, it was obvious that they had no intention of allowing anyone to leave with their lives today.
“Fuck, what shitty luck for me to get involved with this!”
Wang Ting was swearing like crazy as he drew out his bright saber. The rest of the men looked nervous as well, they were mercenaries, and they clearly knew what their duties were. They also knew that their enemy won’t let anyone eacape in a situation like this. If they wanted to live, then they would have to fight for it.
“Brother Jiang Chen, run when you have the chance! You’re still young, and this is the first time you came out for experience. Don’t get yourself killed here!”
Wang Ting said to Jiang Chen.
A curve appeared on Jiang Chen’s mouth. Wang Ting was a nice man; he was still showing concern for Jiang Chen even at this critical time. For this reason alone, Jiang Chen would have to make sure that Wang Ting was able to survive today. Furthermore, his opponents were men from the Lee family, his enemies.
“Kill!”
Lee Long shouted. He and another late stage Qi Hai warrior started running towards Yan Meng from both sides of the caravan. They didn’t want to give Yan Meng the chance to escape.
At the same time, the rest of the men wearing black suits unleashed their Yuan power and started attacking the mercenaries.
Bang……
The intense fight had begun. Nearly twenty Qi Hai warriors were fighting each other. Their attacks were so strong that even the rocks on the side of the road were smashed into pieces.
Ahhh!
It was just the beginning of the fight, and a man from the mercenaries had already been wounded, a long cut on his arm. Yan Meng was fighting two late stage Qi Hai warriors, and it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to hold on for long. He could only defend himself without striking back.
“A young boy who is still wet behind the ears, how dare you join the mercenaries!? Die!”
A man in black suit held his sword and swung it towards Jiang Chen, the reflection on the sword shining brightly. He was trying to cut Jiang Chen into two.
Jiang Chen waved his head while standing still. When the sword was about to touch his head, he pointed his finger out, unleashing a bright beam. A slashing sound was heard, and both of the man’s palms were removed from his arms. Blood spilled out like a water fountain.
Jiang Chen gripped the handle of the sword that was falling down from the sky and swung it towards the man, directly cutting off the man’s head.
The whole process was so smooth and fast, the man in the black suit didn’t even have the chance to scream, dying instantly.
Everyone present was busy with their own battles, so no one managed to noticed what had just happened.
Swash!
Wang Ting was being attacked by two men. He was wounded on his chest and was bleeding crazily from the cut.
“Sons of bitches! I’ll kill you all.”
A hot tempered man naturally had a bad temper. Being injured was normal for any mercenary, and everyone knew that they were only humans with real flesh. When they became mercenaries, they had put their life into it. They knew that a day like this would come eventually.
Wang Ting’s eyes were bloodshot. It seemed like he was about to risk it all and go all out.
Clang!
Wang Ting’s blade was blocked by one of the two men, and the other man’s attack was approaching him. He was being attacked by two men, and no matter how he tried, he couldn’t defend himself from the other man’s attack. He was going to die, a feeling of despair emerging in his mind.
Swash!
A long sword penetrated the attacking man’s body, the tip of the blade entering from the man’s back. The man’s movements had stopped completely, and he would never be able to move again.
The cold hard sword was pulled out from the back. Wang Ting could see Jiang Chen behind that man.
“Brother Jiang Chen!”
Wang Ting was shocked; he couldn’t believe what he saw.
Another man in a black suit saw his partner being killed from behind. He immediately ditched Wang Ting and started attacking Jiang Chen.
Swash!
Jiang Chen swung his sword as fast as a lightning strike. The man’s head flew into the sky, blood raining down from the head whose face was frozen with fright.
Wang Ting was startled, this was too fast! It was so fast that even he who stood close to Jiang Chen couldn’t see how Jiang Chen killed the man.
This was how Jiang Chen used the sword. There were no special techniques, only speed, speed faster than lightning itself. This kind of sword was a killing sword.
“Heavens!”
Wang Ting shook his head violently. He realized he had made a mistake. He had met someone who only pretended to be inexperienced.
Jiang Chen gave Wang Ting a smile and continued killing with his sword.
Swash, swash……
What happened next stunned Wang Ting and the rest of the mercenaries. All of them had their mouths wide open. It was as if they were all in some insane dream.
What they could see was Jiang Chen moving like a wild tiger between the men in the black suits. The sword in his hands kept transforming into cold lightning strikes. Every time he struck his sword, a man would be killed. Everyone was killed by a single strike, and he never struck the same man twice.
What was more terrifying was that all the men he killed didn’t even have the chance to scream. Jiang Chen’s sword had taken away their rights to scream.
In less than a minute’s time, everyone from the Lee family was laying on the ground covered in blood. Their wounded bodies were still twitching. This scene resembled something you could only see in hell.
Everyone was staring at the young man wearing a white robe. There was not a single bloodstain on his body even after killing so many people. Contradictory to the bloody scene, they could only see a calm expression on his face.
