Chapter 232: Unsatisfied? Then Challenge Me! (2/2)

“And why are you our captain?” Another unsatisfied person exclaimed.

“That’s right, just what reason do you have to be our captain?”

“Kid, your hair hasn’t even grown long and yet you want to be our captain, that’s not an easy role to fill…”

“That’s right….”

“His words are right…”

Slowly, the sounds of opposition grew louder and louder as many people began to voice their complaints. From the group Seth had brought, the vast majority of them were unhappy to hear that Jian Chen would be their captain. Although they all heard that their new captain was incredibly strong, with Jian Chen’s age, how could they believe that? Jian Chen was only twenty years old at the most, just how strong could he possibly be?

In regards to the noise of the opposition, Seth and the other four chose to go silent and watch. If Jian Chen wasn’t even able to resolve such a small issue like this, then how would he lead the mercenaries onto the world stage?

Jian Chen continued to smile despite the voices of resentment, he had expected this to happen. “My strength of course; is far stronger than yours. In this continent where power reigns supreme, strength is what decides everything. If you do not accept me as your leader, then come up and challenge me. Whoever can dodge my sword will be the captain that I will follow.

Jian Chen’s sword in its regular speed could make a Great Saint Master flustered in three moves, and then bring them to a standstill in five moves. If he were to go all out, then even a Great Saint Master would be killed. Right in front of him were only men at the Saint Master level, there would be no way for them to dodge or even defend against his sword.

“How arrogant of you. Then allow me to come and test just how much power a wimpy kid like you has.” A burly dark skinned man suddenly leapt from within the crowd and brandished his newly formed Saint Weapon in the shape of a large axe.

“Make your move then!” Jian Chen exclaimed with a smile at the man. At the same time, the silver Light Wind Sword appeared in his hand. Although the man in front of him was only a Peak Saint Master and didn’t require using his sword, he had decided that for the sake of displaying his superiority, he would need to use the Light Wind Sword.

Seeing the thin sword in Jian Chen’s hand, the man didn’t feel threatened at all. Taking a deep breath, he began to shout before charging at Jian Chen to chop him down.

Against the incoming axe, Jian Chen didn’t bother to dodge or defend at all. Suddenly, just in the moment before the axe could make contact with him, a silver flash of light came into view of the man’s eye while the axe simultaneously pierced through Jian Chen’s chest.

“Shua!”

From far away, the group of people gasped in surprise. They didn’t think that such an arrogant person like Jian Chen was nothing more than a thin stick in the wind and had lost his life that easily.

However, the guards who had joined the Flame Mercenaries from the Tianxiong clan didn’t have a change in their expression at all. They had clearly seen Jian Chen’s strength for themselves, there was no way that such a simple attack like this would be able to make a claim on Jian Chen’s life.

“How queer, that was actually a phantom image.”
