Chapter 290: True Sword Qi

Jian Chen and Ming Dong continued to walk, after walking for a little while longer they quickly came across the other person. The man looked to be a tall but skinny middle aged man that was dirty looking all over and quite miserable. The tree branches had already cut away at his clothes, revealing the bloody scratches underneath. Clearly, he had taken a large amount of pain from the environment.

When the middle aged man noticed there was someone around, he instantly grew alert. In the next second, he took out his Saint Weapon, but the moment he saw that the two in front of him were merely youngsters, his vigilance immediately lowered.

“Haha, after half a day, I’ve finally come across people. I must say, this place is so large that even after walking for half a day, I came across no one else. Just how strong of a person does one have to be to create such a place like this?” The middle aged man brandished his sword with a smile. His face had slackened as his eyes stared at Jian Chen and Ming Dong with a strange glint.

Jian Chen laughed as well before saying, “That’s right. This place is truly large, after walking for half a day, we’ve finally come across a lone person.”

“It seems that we were fated to meet. Fellow brothers, just what is your name?” The man began to smile in a seemingly harmless way.

“Seeing how we have never met before, it would be inconvenient to tell sire my name.” Jian Chen laughed.

“Fine then!” The man replied casually. Looking to and from Jian Chen and Ming Dong, “This Gathering of the Mercenaries isn’t a good place to be, there are many hidden dangers to be experienced. This isn’t the place for two youngsters to be most especially. You two would find it best to immediately leave this place. Of course, the two tokens you both have will bring you trouble. Why don’t you hand them over to me so I can bear the responsibility for you?” With that, the middle aged man lifted his sword and started to walk over to Jian Chen and Ming Dong.

Jian Chen let out a thoughtful smile before taking out the token from within his Space Ring. Waving it at him, Jian Chen smiled, “If you want it, then you’ll have to take it.”

Seeing the token appear within Jian Chen’s hand, the middle aged man’s eyes began to shine. Immediately looking at Jian Chen’s hand, he saw the Space Ring that was adorned on his finger.

“A Space Ring!” The man cried out in shock. Growing serious, his eyes couldn’t conceal the pure greed behind them.

“No, little brother. That Space Ring currently in your possession will bring you trouble as well. Why don’t you hand both the Space Ring and the token over to me. I’ll keep the both of them safe, I can guarantee their safety if you do. Not only that, but it will be one less danger to your life.” The middle aged man couldn’t help but smirk. Even his voice began to tremble at the sight of the two prizes in front of him. To him, Jian Chen and Ming Dong were both easy targets because of their age. No matter how strong the two might be, he was already dead set on pursuing them.

Jian Chen laughed involuntarily before looking at the man in the eye and sneered, “You couldn’t even cheat a three year old child with your words.”

“You must be rotted in the brain to think that we are such idiots.” Ming Dong cursed at him from the side of Jian Chen.

The man’s eyes began to flash dangerously as he revealed a cold smile, “Fellow brothers, I was only just thinking what was best for you. Those items aren’t safe on you.” With that, the man walked even closer so that he was ten meters away now. With the giant sword in his hand, it began to radiate energy as he began to prepare to attack.

Jian Chen looked with disdain at the man. He was only a Peak Great Saint Master; someone not worth being worried about. “The items are in my hand, if you have the ability, come and take them.”

The man’s eyes flashed dangerously as he laughed, “So it seems you two are quite obstinate. Then allow me to come and take them.” The Saint Weapon in his hand began to fluctuate wildly as it flew at Jian Chen’s heart. His action was meant to kill without remorse or second thoughts.

A small sliver of killing intent leaked from Jian Chen as the Light Wind Sword immediately appeared in Jian Chen’s hand. In another moment, the sword disappeared in a flash and broke the other man’s Saint Weapon with a large metallic sound.

With his Saint Weapon broken, the man spat out a mouthful of blood as his face grew white before falling to the ground.

Jian Chen had snapped his Saint Weapon in two with a single strike. This was the equivalent to crippling the man’s dantian, causing him to lose all of his cultivation as well as causing a tremendous amount of damage to his body.

“H-ho-how….how is this….po-possible..?” Seeing the broken remains of his Saint Weapon, the man’s face was shocked. This was too strong of a strength, causing him to be stunned. To make matters even worse, the one responsible for breaking his Saint Weapon was only a twenty year old youth.

Even Ming Dong who was standing by Jian Chen’s side was shocked to the point of disbelief. Seeing just how Jian Chen was able to break a Peak Great Saint Master’s sword in two was just too frightening for him.
