Chapter 209: Return to Wake City
Seeing the downed warbeast, every single Loyal Spirit Mercenary’s face instantly grew lifeless. At this moment, every single movement had stopped as if everyone had frozen. Their eyes were stuck on the warbeast whose head was bleeding profusely with looks of extreme disbelief.
The Class 4 Warbeast in front of them had a defense stronger than what any one of them could imagine. Even a Great Saint Master would be hard pressed to damage a warbeast and an Earth Saint Master with a battle skill would still need to use an astounding amount of effort to kill it. To see this unbelievably tenacious warbeast killed by a youth not even over the age of 20, everyone was incredibly shocked. No one had expected this type of power from a person they picked up on the way to Wake City.
At that moment, every Loyal Spirit Mercenary realized that this low profile man traveling with them was actually a high leveled expert!
Jian Chen didn’t take notice of the shock of the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries. At this moment, his mind was reeling from shock. He was surprised to learn that the violet and azure colored Sword Spirit’s power would be so strong. Despite his foreknowledge of it, Jian Chen still couldn’t help, but be shocked by the extent of the power.
By Jian Chen’s approximations, the defenses of the warbeast would be incredibly difficult for him to make even a substantial amount of damage. If he really wanted to injure the warbeast, he would need at least the strength of an Earth Saint Master and yet with the power of the Sword Spirits, the warbeast’s defenses were like tofu. They allowed for the Light Wind Sword to pierce through the skull without the slightest bit of resistance.
Now was also the time that Jian Chen understood how terrifying the violet and azure Sword Spirits were. Although the Sword Qi was an extension of the Sword Spirits who were in a very weakened state, their power was still overwhelming.
With this, Jian Chen realized that he had the fighting strength of an Earth Saint Master.
“The warbeast is dead…”
“Oh heavens! A warbeast was killed, and this warbeast was even at the Class 4 level in strength….”
Everyone had already returned to where the caravans were. One by one they expressed their feelings as everyone looked at Jian Chen with a expressions of shock while a few others had expressions of worship.
The Loyal Spirit Mercenaries leader, Hudolf let out a breath of air as he examined the ground where the dead warbeast lay. With a slight shake of his head he looked at Jian Chen who was closeby. After a moment of hesitation, he walked over to him.
“Jian Chen, I didn’t think you’d be an expert of such profound strength! Ai, it is truly inconceivable that with your current age you are able to kill a warbeast of this level. However, I as the representative of every member of the Loyal Spirit Mercenaries must give you my thanks. You have solved a major problem for us.” Hudolf spoke honestly and respectfully.
Jian Chen’s excitement began to decrease back to a normal level before smiling, “This was no effort at all, so the captain needs not be so polite. Besides, we are sharing the road; if one of us comes across a problem, then it is natural that I provide assistance.”
Jian Chen and Hudolf began to talk among themselves politely for a while before the other mercenaries busied themselves with other matters. The Loyal Spirit Mercenaries were split into two groups, one was responsible for repairing the caravans and loading up the goods, and the other group was responsible for dealing with the warbeast’s body.
