Chapter 613: Death of a Saint Ruler (Three)

Jian Chen could only laugh when the two Saint Rulers spoke. How could they know about the new relationship between Little Spirit and him? With Little Spirit giving her guarantee, Jian Chen could fight within Mercenary City without regard of the rules and the violations. He was after all aware of the connection between Little Spirit and the man known as Mo Tianyun. More accurately, the man known as the founder of Mercenary City. With such a peculiar identity as that, Little Spirit was without a doubt a very important entity of the city itself. It was unknown however whether or not Little Spirit had a status that was even larger than Tian Jian.

Without any more hesitation, Jian Chen flickered towards the two Saint Rulers to stab at the forehead of the nearest Saint Ruler without mercy.

Startled, the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan had taken a step back. He didn’t think that Jian Chen would indeed start to fight in Mercenary City. Instead of fighting back, the man had merely stepped away from the attack with a smile. “Jian Chen, you really do fear nothing if you are willing to fight in Mercenary City. Your death is inevitable now; no one can save you anymore.”

There had been no response from Jian Chen. Instead, his entire figure blurred away into thin air as he charged once more after the Saint Ruler. There had been no need to hold back against a Saint Ruler, so the Origin energy of the azure and violet sword spirits had been utilized to the best of his efforts. Glowing with a bright azure and violet light, it seemed to light up the entire area as if it were a lantern at night.

The Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan didn’t dare fight back while he was in Mercenary City. He knew the consequences of those who did, and so he had merely dodged Jian Chen’s strikes instead of retaliating. Only his body could be seen flickering back and forth between places as he dodged each strike without difficulty. Even though Jian Chen was trying his best, it had been completely ineffective against a Saint Ruler.

A SaintRuler was on a completely different level from a Heaven Saint Master. They were entities that understood the supreme mysteries of the world to some degree and could control the fabric of space to a minor extent. By borrowing the power of space, they could stand completely still like a wooden stake impaled in the ground and still remain unhurt by a Heaven Saint Master.

In front of a Saint Ruler, all else were ants. To intimidate a Saint Ruler would require another Saint Ruler.

But even though Jian Chen couldn’t injure the Saint Ruler, he wasn’t discouraged by the fact. He could fight without fear or needing to hold back unlike the other two. Chasing after the Saint Ruler relentlessly, he had managed to ‘force’ the Saint Ruler into dodging. This had served as a cathartic form of delight to him on a personal level. As of right now, he wanted nothing more but to let loose to the heavens and let loose the frustrations that had been accumulating in him.

Leaping up into the air, Jian Chen wielded the sparkling Origin energy like a sword to stab at the Saint Ruler from the Jiede clan.

Once more, the Saint Ruler had flickered away, leaving behind only a mirror image at his previous spot and reappearing several hundred meters away on top of a nearby roof.

The Origin energy that Jian Chen had shot out impacted against the ground, resulting in a tremendous explosion that rocked the entire area and caused several of the nearby buildings to tremble slightly. But from where the Origin energy had struck the ground, there had been no signs of damage even despite all the power that had been contained in the blow.

The sudden explosion had been carried farther away however, resulting in people everywhere being surprised by the sound. One by one, they had ‘revealed’ a shocked look. It had been unknown just how often they were able to hear the sounds of a battle take place in Mercenary City, but not a single one of them had thought that there would be yet another person that would try to do so.

“There’s someone fighting over there! Who’s the suicidal idiot? To fight in Mercenary City, does he not know the prohibition and the punishment that’ll take place after it?”

“The guy has to be strong based on the sound of that explosion. I bet it’s a Heaven Saint Master at the very least.”

“Let’s hurry on over to watch! Let’s see just how that offender’s going to die….”

“Aye, let’s hurry on over to see what punishment will befall him. I’ve heard before that to try and fight in this city would lead to a painful experience, but I didn’t think that it would actually be death that’ll befall the offender…”

Plenty of people began to talk to one another on the streets as they ran from every direction to converge onto the area where Jian Chen and the two Saint Rulers were. Every single one of them had wanted to see the man who would be struck by the punishment of Mercenary City before he died.

In the blink of an eye, the previously sparse strip of street Jian Chen was on had became a cacophony of sounds. Merchants and mercenaries alike had abandoned whatever they were doing to fly over to the area as soon as possible, whether it was on foot or on magical beast.
