Axiang asked, "Is this a Magician’s Teleport?"
Aggie shook his head. "It’s not Teleport; it’s speed. His speed is incredible, flashing from one place to another without any spatial fluctuation. It’s purely his body’s speed. This Skill is somewhat similar to Ghost Shadow Flash; he’s so fast, you can only see afterimages."
"Moreover, his Sword Qi Attack is extremely strong, ignoring all defenses, just like our True Qi. Each sword strike precisely targets the enemy’s heart, which means every Sword Qi is controlled by his mind."
"This also demonstrates his potent Perception, allowing him to hear an enemy’s heartbeat. He can even hear me speaking now."
The Fallen member was taken aback. Is this really a Swordsman?
Christie Burton nodded, agreeing with Aggie’s well-founded analysis. He had also noticed these aspects. The Swordsman’s Perception, offensive power, speed, and the Gang Qi surrounding his body all far surpassed those of a Wanderer.
It seemed to Christie Burton that hope was in sight; the Swordsman class was Super Divine-level, not the so-called D-grade Class.
Jiang Chen turned, came back with a smile, and said, "It’s taken care of."
Christie Burton said, "Good. We’ll assault the town shortly. I’ll be relying on your Support. Don’t be fooled by the thirty thousand men behind me; if they were to fight the Underworld Clan, they’d be no match."
"The Underworld Clan is stronger than any other class; even their Mages can engage in close combat."
Aggie analyzed, "The enemy has members with a class similar to a Barrier Master, capable of enveloping the entire town. Unless we can lure them out, which is obviously impossible."
Christie Burton had considered this as well. This energy barrier was very strong. One person could not break it alone. It would require everyone to charge forward to break the barrier. However, getting close to the walls would make them vulnerable to the enemy’s long-range attacks.
Christie Burton paused for a moment. "I’ll break the barrier."
Christie Burton cast Convenant Magic, summoning an Ancient Dragon from the Convenant Space. It was a three-headed Ancient Dragon, much larger than a typical Giant Dragon.
At this moment, Olive emerged from the Convenant Space and looked at the three-headed Ancient Dragon.
"This Ancient Dragon is quite formidable."
"You know of it?"
"Yes, that’s a three-headed Ancient Dragon. Each head possesses a rare type of Magic: the middle one wields Light Magic, the left one Dark Magic, and the right one Destruction Magic."
"It must be stronger than you."
"I can use Chaos Magic! How could I be weaker than it? Brother, you mustn’t underestimate me!" Olive raised her fists, her face full of protest.
"We’ll talk about it when you’re older!"
At that moment, the Dragon soared into the sky. Its right head gathered Destruction Magic, forming a black sphere in its mouth as powerful magical energy coalesced.
Then, it shot out.
The Destruction Magic struck the Barrier, instantly shattering it.
CRACKLE...
Aggie led the charge, and Jiang Chen observed their movements. They were extremely fast, even faster than a Hero. Jiang Chen said, "Angelina, stay here. Olive, hurry back."
Jiang Chen’s figure flashed as he rushed to the forefront.
That’s experience points we’re talking about! None of you had better try to snatch them from me!
Jiang Chen dashed into the town, and countless members of the Underworld Clan charged at him.
Sword-Pulling Slash!
SCHRING!
A streak of white light flashed. The charging Underworld Clan members were instantly bisected at the waist. Hundreds of them died, and those in the path of the white light fell to the ground.
Within a hundred meters, he was unrivaled.
By the time Aggie charged in, all the enemies were already dead. Every single one had perished.
Aggie gasped. So terrifyingly powerful! This is a Swordsman!
The other members of The Fallen stared at Jiang Chen, completely shocked and awestruck.
Jiang Chen turned back with a smile. "You all don’t need to compete with me for mobs. You can’t gain experience points, but I can."
The Heroes charged in, only to find bodies strewn across the ground.
"’Where is everyone? Did they all die?’"
"’That was way too fast!’"
"’Ugh... Wanderers are terrifying.’"
"’Why is everyone sliced in half at the waist? It looks like one person did all this!’"
"’Damn, that’s horrifying!’"
The Heroes poured in, eager to battle the Underworld Clan, but all they saw were corpses. How are we supposed to fight now? How can we earn military achievements? How can we exchange them for equipment? You Wanderers are shameless!
[Mission: Eradicate the Underworld Clan.]
[Count: 2,240]
Only 2,240 of them, for over 1.6 million experience points? Leveling up this way is a bit slow.
Christie Burton laughed and said, "Let’s go. On to the next town."
The group continued on their way.
Arlene looked at the mission log detailing Jiang Chen’s kills. This guy is still as monstrous as ever, killing so many so quickly! Even though Jiang Chen had joined Christie Burton, he was still a member of the Secret Sword Legion.
At this moment, Arno walked in. "Arlene, avoid the upcoming battles if you can. The Underworld Clan is strong, and Eleanor doesn’t have anyone powerful with her. You need to be careful."
"I know."
Arno shook his head helplessly. I was hoping to rely on Jiang Chen, but he left after that conflict with Eleanor.
Meanwhile, on Eleanor’s side, they launched an attack. The forced offensive resulted in significant casualties, with at least several thousand lost. The battle had barely begun, and they had already lost two-tenths of their forces. If this continued, everyone with her would die.
Someone approached Eleanor. "Divine Lady, this is the latest information."
"What does it say?"
"The Alliance of All-Gods did not approve your suggestion. Under Christie Burton’s leadership, Jiang Chen has already captured five towns and killed ten thousand members of the Underworld Clan."
"He is currently ranked first on the leaderboards."
Eleanor exclaimed in shock, "What?"
"He killed ten thousand people?"
"Yes. The Alliance of All-Gods values him highly. They are also investigating your decision that delayed the battle effort and are assessing whether you are a qualified commander."
Eleanor was furious. I can’t believe I let such a powerful warrior slip away! she regretted.
Eleanor’s expression darkened, a cold smile playing on her lips. But Jiang Chen belongs to the Secret Sword Legion. Sooner or later, I’ll bring him under my command. "Have Arno come see me," she ordered.
"Yes."
Arno looked at Eleanor. "What is it that you wish to discuss, Divine Lady?"
"Send a message to Jiang Chen. Tell him to return."
"Impossible."
"He belongs to the Secret Sword Legion, to the Gregory Family, and he is one of your Clan’s Heroes. Can you not control him? Can you not command him?"
Arno understood Eleanor’s intention: she wanted to bring Jiang Chen to heel.
Arno said, "He’s my friend, not my subordinate. Even Milton, the Son of God, wanted Jiang Chen to join him, but Jiang Chen refused. Powerful individuals don’t serve under others, Divine Lady. You must understand this."
"If you try to force him to return, he will only leave the Secret Sword Legion and the Gregory Family. This is not a wise decision."
"If you want his help, you cannot expect him to become your subordinate."
"Then how can he be persuaded to return?"
"Probably not until the war against the Underworld Clan is over."
"I will incorporate the Secret Sword Legion later."
"That would be meaningless. Once you incorporate the Secret Sword Legion, Jiang Chen will simply leave it. He will definitely not work under you."
"I will give him what he wants."
"No, you cannot."
"And why do you say I cannot?" Eleanor asked.
"You cannot treat him as a friend. You are a Goddess; in his eyes, there is no such thing as social hierarchy. He believes everyone is equal, even deities."
Eleanor was aghast. Is he mad? Does he truly think he’s a god himself?
