Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman-Chapter 387 - 386, People from Luo Lake Gang_1

Chapter 387: Chapter 386, People from Luo Lake Gang_1
Angelina asked, "Do you need help?"
"Of course."
The two walked out of the room to see two groups confronting each other. Jiang Chen stood behind Ba Jie.
Ba Jie frowned and asked, "Who exactly are you people?"
The man in black said coldly, "Hand over the Potion, and we’ll spare your lives."
"How do you know I have the Potion on me?"
"Enough talk! Brothers, let’s get them!"
Ba Jie said, "Don’t make a move. This is a matter among us Wanderers."
CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...
Jiang Chen glanced over. Ba Jie’s inner True Qi wasn’t very strong; he was a Fourth-stage Expert. The leader of the men in black was also a Fourth-stage Expert. Their close combat was a test of movement technique and swordsmanship. Ba Jie’s movement technique was strong, and the man in black was no pushover either. The scene was filled with Sword Qi Surging, and sand and stones flew everywhere.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
This is the world of Jianghu...
Unexpectedly, someone charged at Jiang Chen and Angelina.
I’m just watching the show, and you’re targeting me? No martial virtue at all.
Jiang Chen drew his sword and, with a single strike—One Sword—instantly killed the enemy. Although he was a Hero, he also wielded Sword Qi; it was just a different form of Energy. One was Martial Arts, the other a Skill.
Seeing their comrade killed, the others were filled with murderous intent and attacked Jiang Chen one after another.
Jiang Chen wasn’t about to give them a chance. Wan Jian Gui Clan’s Skill! A sky full of Sword Qi appeared, swiftly slaying the men in black.
"Chen Jinnan, leave one alive."
WHOOSH...
Two Sword Auras severed the leader’s ankles and pierced his palms before dissipating.
The remaining assailants looked at Jiang Chen in shock. They had seen Heroes before and knew a Hero’s Strength came from their Badge. However, they didn’t know what kind of profession could wield such terrifying attack power, leaving the Wanderers no chance to intervene. This attack pattern somewhat resembled the Martial Arts of the Wan Jian Gui Clan.
Ba Jie looked at the fallen leader and let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, they have a captive.
He had a Curse-lifting Potion on him, a fact that was supposed to be secret. Besides their group, this information had also been ed to the Loyal Justice Association. The fact that their enemies had learned of it so quickly meant there was undoubtedly a traitor among them. This was also why Ba Jie had insisted on taking a prisoner: they had to find out who the traitor was.
Ba Jie stepped forward and ripped off the man’s black hood, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a heavy beard. The man was now glaring at Jiang Chen.
Ba Jie demanded, "Who are you? How did you know I had a Curse-lifting Potion? Spill it, or I’ll make you wish you were dead."
"Hmph. Now that I’m in your hands, do what you will. You’ll get not a single word from me."
One of Ba Jie’s men stepped forward. "Captain, this man is likely from the Luo Lake Gang. He’s called Li Yang, their third-in-command."
Ba Jie asked, "Are you sure?"
"It must be him. Those thick eyebrows and heavy beard—that’s Li Yang."
Jiang Chen inquired, "What organization is the Luo Lake Gang?"
"It’s a gang of about a hundred people based around Luo Lake. Our Wanderers’ Alliance, much like the Continent of All-Gods, has many different factions. They are similar to the Legions on the Continent of All-Gods, though far fewer in number."
Jiang Chen nodded.
This he could understand.
The Legions of the Continent of All-Gods were vast. The smallest had several hundred members, while the largest boasted tens, even hundreds of thousands. These Legions teamed up to level up.
Ba Jie said, "Li Yang, this is a stronghold of the Loyal Justice Association. Your Luo Lake Gang dares to try your luck here?"
"Hmph, what’s there to fear? Once we have the Potion, we can leave this place and live in other worlds. What can your Loyal Justice Association do to us then?"
"Unless you’re willing to give it to us unconditionally, to let us remove our curses?" Li Yang retorted.
Ba Jie was left speechless.
There’s so little of the Curse-lifting Potion; how could they possibly give it to them?
"Captain, he’s the third-in-command. The Luo Lake Gang still has its second-in-command and its chief. It seems these men were just the vanguard."
"Certainly. We must be on guard!"
"Their chief is called Zhou Zun, a formidable character."
"He must be a Fifth-stage Expert."
As soon as those words were spoken, the others frowned even more deeply.
A Fifth-stage Expert?
That was considered a top-tier Expert. They were only Third-stage themselves and naturally no match for such a strong opponent. Unless a high-level expert from the Loyal Justice Association arrived, their group of over a dozen wouldn’t stand a chance.
At that moment, Jiang Chen spoke, "They’ve arrived. One hundred meters away, just outside the village gates."
The group’s faces immediately changed.
So quickly?
Li Yang, looking at Jiang Chen, spoke fiercely, "Kid, when our chief arrives, he’ll avenge me! Just you wait and die!"
Jiang Chen drew his sword and, with a single chop, severed the man’s neck.
"A mere Fifth-stage Expert. I can handle him." Even if facing a Sixth-stage Expert, Jiang Chen was confident he could kill them, let alone a Fifth-stage one.
Ba Jie nodded. "This time, we’re relying on you."
"Let’s go. We’ll wait for them at the main gate. They must have reached it by now."
"Mm..."
Ba Jie led them toward the main gate. Snowflakes fluttered down, obscuring their vision. Beyond ten meters, everything was shrouded in thick fog.
The group was puzzled.
There’s no one here! How did he detect them?
One of them asked, "May I ask, sir, what is your profession?"
"Swordsman."
"Swordsman?"
"Mm."
The group looked at Ba Jie. They knew he was Bai Yun’s disciple, formerly a Hero of the Continent of All-Gods and also a Swordsman. Since Ba Jie had renounced his Hero’s Badge, he had become one of them. They were familiar with Swordsmen, but none they knew were this powerful.
Ba Jie said, "Chen Jinnan is indeed a Swordsman, and also my friend."
Turning to Jiang Chen, Ba Jie said, "One day, if I meet Master Bai Yun again, I’ll ask him to give you a special fruit. It will allow you to give up your Hero’s Badge and become a true Wanderer."
"Let’s not discuss that for now. I still prefer life on the Continent of All-Gods," Jiang Chen responded nonchalantly.
Although I also want to become a Wanderer and cultivate True Qi, the crucial point is that True Qi isn’t as powerful as what a Swordsman wields. Moreover, when a Swordsman reaches the Demigod level, they have a chance to ascend to Godhood and obtain their own God’s Seal. But for Wanderers, ascending to Godhood is exceedingly difficult. There are many powerful Wanderers, and the top experts of the five great associations are comparable to Demigods. Yet, despite so many years, none of them have managed to become Gods. That’s the reality. Since Wanderers can’t become Gods, why would I choose to become one? Envy is one thing, but being a Swordsman is still better.
Ba Jie nodded. "I understand." He understood the subtext of Jiang Chen’s words; it was a veiled refusal.
At this moment, Jiang Chen turned to look at someone in their group. He didn’t recognize the man, but he felt his own heartbeat quicken and sensed a faint wisp of killing intent directed at him—an intent he couldn’t ignore this time.
Jiang Chen moved closer to Ba Jie and whispered, "Who’s that young guy, the tenth person on my left?"
Ba Jie glanced back.
"That’s Shohu. Why do you ask?"
"There’s something wrong with him."
Ba Jie’s brow furrowed tightly. "How do you know?"
"He’s directing killing intent at me."
Ba Jie was astounded.
Killing intent? How can he even sense something like that? This guy is too freakish!
