Chapter 392: Chapter 391, Killing the Elder Xie An from Life Alliance _1
A small town with only a few hundred people, but many forces had a stake in it.
In Malan City, Jiang Chen sensed many Wanderers who cultivated True Qi. Some had a minimal amount, and some were extraordinarily powerful, even on par with Granny Jinhua.
Sixth-stage Experts represented a threshold; once this threshold was crossed, one could deploy a Domain. Spreading one’s True Qi outwards formed a Domain. Within the Domain, time and Space were controlled by the Wanderer.
For a Fifth-stage Wanderer to kill a Sixth-stage Expert was simply impossible, unless they could break through the True Qi Field to utterly defeat the Sixth-stage Expert.
Heroes and Wanderers were alike, undergoing new changes at the Third-stage, Sixth-stage, and Ninth-stage.
After reaching the Third-stage, Jiang Chen had comprehended a new Passive Skill. This Skill meant his Sword Qi would not vanish but could instead devour Exotic Energy to strengthen its Attack Power and upgrade it by a hundredfold—this was Jiang Chen’s new ability. And since True Qi was also a type of Energy, Jiang Chen was very confident about killing Sixth-stage Experts.
The entire town was within Jiang Chen’s Perception. Among those he sensed, four possessed exceptionally strong True Qi; if Xie An were here, he would definitely be one of them.
Jiang Chen followed the direction to search.
「Inside a small shop.」
Jiang Chen said, "Boss, give me a basket of buns."
"Certainly, please wait a moment."
The bun shop was run by a middle-aged couple, both seemingly in their forties. The middle-aged woman was an ordinary person, but the man was an expert, a Sixth-stage Expert at that.
A bun shop run by a Sixth-stage Expert? Could it be that experts prefer to withdraw from the martial world’s strife?
Jiang Chen glanced at the middle-aged man, who soon came out with a basket of buns.
"Young man, your buns are ready."
"Thank you."
"You’re too kind. Enjoy your meal."
Li Chanji was sitting at another table, quite puzzled.
Wasn’t this guy here for revenge? Why is he now casually eating buns?
Jiang Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. This wasn’t the person he was looking for. After finishing the buns, he continued to his next target.
The second target was a restaurant.
Before even entering the restaurant, Li Chanji saw the Life Alliance’s insignia and was secretly shocked.
This must be their stronghold.
Jiang Chen walked boldly inside.
"Mister, what would you like to eat?"
"Bring me your signature dishes, all of them."
"Right away!" The Waiter joyfully returned to the kitchen.
Jiang Chen walked directly to another table where an old man was drinking wine. Jiang Chen approached and glanced at the man’s right hand, noting he had six fingers.
It seemed this person was Xie An.
Jiang Chen sat at the next table.
He coldly said, "Are you Xie An?"
Xie An turned his head to look at Jiang Chen with a puzzled face. "Who are you? Do you know me?"
"I am the unbeatable Dong Fang Unbeaten. I’ve heard of your exquisite Swordsmanship and have come especially to learn a few moves."
Three question marks popped above Xie An’s head.
Who is this young man? Trying to defeat me to rise in status and gain fame across the martial world? Hasn’t he weighed his own capabilities? The unbeatable Dong Fang Unbeaten? What a domineering name.
Xie An figured it out. Young people who wanted fame often challenged well-known figures, defeating them to make a name for themselves. Clearly, Xie An mistook the young man before him as one such person.
Xie An chuckled and said, "Young man, you dare to challenge me?"
Jiang Chen said loudly, "I’m just asking if you accept the challenge. If you don’t accept, all you have to do is loudly proclaim ’I, Xie An, cannot defeat Dong Fang Unbeaten and concede defeat today,’ and I’ll turn around and leave right away."
Jiang Chen’s voice was loud enough for the nearby Wanderers to hear it. Of course, Jiang Chen did it on purpose.
"Someone dares to challenge Xie An?"
"Isn’t that an Elder of the Life Alliance, an expert of unfathomable strength?"
"Dong Fang Unbeaten, who is this person? Does anyone know him?"
"Don’t know him, but he seems like a young man just starting out, probably desperate for fame, hence challenging Xie An."
"Probably this Dong Fang Unbeaten is a new expert."
"What expert? Never heard of him before."
Xie An snorted coldly, filled with killing intent. As an Elder of the Life Alliance and a Sixth-stage Expert, he was challenged by a brash youngster who even demanded he concede publicly. This was an utter disgrace!
Xie An said coldly, "Kid, you’re courting death; don’t blame me for what comes next."
"This isn’t the place to fight. How about outside the city?"
"That suits me well." Xie An got up and slammed his palm on the table.
CRACK! CRACK!
The entire table shattered to pieces.
Xie An glared at Jiang Chen.
Do you see? I just broke the table with one palm...
Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed with disdainful mirth.
Is that all?
Jiang Chen, sword in hand, walked out of the restaurant, with Xie An following behind. Not only Xie An, but a group of Wanderers followed as well, all eager to witness the event.
Granny Jinhua nodded. "He probably doesn’t want his identity revealed. But Dong Fang Unbeaten... how did he even come up with that name? Truly arrogant! It’s an interesting name; young people should be that domineering. But Xie An is a genuine Sixth-stage Expert! Can he withstand him?"
The two Elders asked worriedly.
Granny Jinhua was unconcerned. "Yes, he can. Xie An is done for. Don’t be fooled because Chen Jinnan is a Hero; he is a Swordsman, not only incredibly fast, but his Attack Power is also devastatingly quick. I’ve suffered at his hands before, and the kid has grown quite a bit since then."
The two Elders were taken aback.
Even Granny Jinhua had suffered a loss. Just who is this young man! Are Swordsmen so fearsome?
「Outside the city...」
Jiang Chen looked at Xie An, who, like most people, held a Thin Sword. Most Wanderers favored swords as their Weapon of choice because they were short, light, and easy to carry. Their primary attack was the ’thrust,’ which had immense Attack Power. The lethality of a pinpoint strike, in particular, made swords an indispensable Weapon for murder and robbery.
Xie An wasn’t worried, as he couldn’t sense any True Qi from Jiang Chen. Moreover, judging by the way Jiang Chen held his sword, Xie An could tell he was a greenhorn, far from being his match.
Jiang Chen said, "I’ll let you make three moves first. You go ahead."
"Hmph, arrogant and ignorant young man! I have long been famous; I don’t need you to let me have the first three moves. You make the first move; I’ll let you have three."
"Alright."
Jiang Chen raised his left hand and mockingly drew a circle in the air.
Xie An:
????? What’s this about?
At that moment, Six Thousand Sword Qi manifested behind Jiang Chen, each glowing brilliantly...
Xie An’s jaw dropped.
What kind of Martial Arts was this? He had never seen it before!
Jiang Chen declared, "This is a Self-created Martial Arts Skill, inspired by the Heroes of the Continent of All-Gods. Take this!"
Granny Jinhua nearly spat blood in anger. "This brat is talking nonsense! Calling it a ’self-created’ Martial Arts Skill? It’s clearly a Swordsman’s Skill—the All Wan Jian Gui Clan’s technique! He’s shameless to the extreme."
Xie An was horrified.
A Self-created Martial Arts Skill? Damn it, does your mother know how awesome you are?
At that moment, the Sword Qi launched a rapid strike towards Xie An.
With a shake of his body, Xie An released powerful True Qi, which halted the countless Sword Qi just one meter away from him.
In confrontations between Wanderers, it often came down to a clash of True Qi. Especially beyond the Sixth-stage, it was mostly a matter of who had the stronger True Qi. When experts clashed, the relative strength of each combatant often became quickly apparent.
