Bloodfire Mercenary Group's Pursuit

"You're asking for death." Jiang Chen was furious.

"Blazing Flame Palm." Jiang Chen unleashed a palm strike, instantly sending a mercenary who was rushing to kill him flying.

"Ah..." The mercenary screamed, sent flying directly. He continuously spat blood as he tumbled through the air.

Since the other party wanted to kill him, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't hold back. One Blazing Flame Palm heavily injured a mercenary.

The mercenary slammed hard onto the ground, instantly losing his combat ability, heavily wounded.

"This kid is this strong?" The others were also shocked.

"Forget it, let's go together and kill him." Thus, the other four mercenaries attacked Jiang Chen.

Who knew that with the long saber in Jiang Chen's hand, he swiftly slashed, killing the four in front of him in an instant.

His saber technique was incredibly domineering and sharp.

"What saber technique is this?" The captain was greatly shocked after witnessing Jiang Chen's strength.

Although Jiang Chen was only at the Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level, his combat power just now was so immense that it put pressure on him, a master at the Martial Artist Realm, Eighth Level.

In just a few moves, he had killed four opponents.

The saber technique Jiang Chen used just now was precisely the Hegemonic Blade Art taught to him by Elder Huo.

"How dare you kill our Bloodfire Mercenary Group members! No one can save you now." The burly captain roared.

"Ridiculous. You all wanted to kill me, and you expect me not to fight back? You were outmatched, so you deserve to die. Now, it's your turn." Jiang Chen sneered.

Then, he charged towards the mercenary captain.

The mercenary captain's expression changed. He also drew his saber and slashed at the charging Jiang Chen.

"Clang..." The two sabers collided, and one figure was sent flying back.

The one sent flying back was none other than the mercenary captain.

At this moment, his face was filled with horror. The moment their sabers touched, he felt an immense power from Jiang Chen's saber, which directly repelled him.

"Impossible! How can a Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level like you possess such immense power? You could actually repel me, a Martial Artist Realm, Eighth Level." The mercenary captain exclaimed.

"Nothing is impossible. So, you should just die." Jiang Chen snorted coldly and attacked again.

At this moment, the mercenary captain pulled out a tube from his embrace. The tube shot out a ball of firelight, which exploded in mid-air.

"Not good, it's a signal!" Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

This mercenary captain was dishonorable. It was one thing to gang up on him earlier, but now, after realizing Jiang Chen's strength, he was actually firing a signal for reinforcements.

Jiang Chen now wanted to kill the mercenary captain quickly. If he did, no one would know he was responsible.

Otherwise, if the Bloodfire Mercenary Group captain escaped and recognized him, it could bring great disaster to the Jiang Family.

"Hegemonic Blade Art, First Form."

"Second Form."

"Third Form."

Jiang Chen consecutively used three forms of his martial skill, sealing off all of the mercenary captain's escape routes. He slashed down at the mercenary captain's neck, killing him instantly.

The mercenary captain's eyes were wide open, dying with regret.

After killing the mercenary captain, Jiang Chen directly pocketed their money pouches or storage bags.

Then, he absorbed their blood qi.

As for the Water Cloud Wolf's corpse, Jiang Chen didn't want to deal with it; it would take time.

As a result, when Jiang Chen was about to leave, a team of over twenty people appeared. It was actually members of the Bloodfire Mercenary Group.

"Damn it, how did they get here so fast?" Jiang Chen was greatly alarmed.

After absorbing the blood qi of these few people, Jiang Chen's cultivation had advanced to the Martial Artist Realm, Fifth Level.

"It's him! He's the one who killed our Bloodfire Mercenary Group members." Seeing the several corpses of their members lying around Jiang Chen, these Bloodfire Mercenary Group members were enraged.

"Fire arrows at him, shoot him to death!" The person leading them was a Martial Master Realm expert, and he immediately gave the order.

These mercenaries then shot arrows towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's expression changed. Using Soaring Wave Steps, he instantly escaped his original position.

As soon as Jiang Chen moved, numerous sharp arrows struck the spot where he had been standing.

"That was close." Jiang Chen felt a lingering fear.

These mercenaries had long been fighting against humans and Demonic Beasts, possessing rich combat experience. Their archery skills were naturally exquisite.

"Kid, you killed our Bloodfire Mercenary Group members, where do you think you're running?" The Martial Master Realm expert charged forward, his powerful aura erupting.

"Retreat." Jiang Chen used Soaring Wave Steps and instantly fled.

Jiang Chen's speed was incredibly fast. He disappeared into the grass, vanishing without a trace.

"Damn it, that brat actually escaped." The Martial Master Realm expert cursed.

When he reached the grass, Jiang Chen's figure was gone, and he didn't know which direction the kid had run off to.

"Six of our men are dead," someone reported.

"Someone actually dares to kill our Bloodfire Mercenary Group members? They must be tired of living. Pass down the order: sketch the appearance of that brat from earlier and mobilize our other people in the Great Desolate Mountain Range to search for him," the Martial Master Realm expert said.

"Yes, Squad Leader." The others followed his orders.

The other members of the Bloodfire Mercenary Group in the Great Desolate Mountain Range received the news.

Someone had killed five mercenaries.

Anyone who dared to kill a member of the Bloodfire Mercenary Group would face their furious retaliation.

This was also the impression the Bloodfire Mercenary Group gave, and the reason many people dared not provoke them.

After Jiang Chen escaped, he came to a waterfall to rest for a while.

His full-power burst earlier had consumed a massive amount of True Qi. Seeing that no one was pursuing him, Jiang Chen found a place to rest.

Jiang Chen ate some food and drank some water before continuing on his journey.

Jiang Chen had not forgotten his mission.

He continued heading towards Snake King Valley. Along the way, Jiang Chen encountered several waves of Demonic Beasts, but he killed them all. They were all second-tier Demonic Beasts.

Jiang Chen was now quite deep in the mountains, where the chance of encountering second-tier Demonic Beasts was high.

As for third-tier Demonic Beasts, Jiang Chen hadn't encountered any yet, but as he went deeper, the chance of encountering them would increase.

Jiang Chen was bold indeed, daring to enter such a deep region. Other Martial Artist Realm cultivators wouldn't dare to enter here alone.

After killing some second-tier Demonic Beasts, Jiang Chen would remove their valuable parts, which could be sold for spirit stones.

"You guys search ahead quickly. That brat might be nearby," Jiang Chen suddenly heard someone say.

Jiang Chen found a hidden spot to conceal himself. Soon, three people appeared before him.

"Bloodfire Mercenary Group!" Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected the Bloodfire Mercenary Group to find him so quickly.

Moreover, these people were holding a sketch, which depicted Jiang Chen himself.

"Heh, Bloodfire Mercenary Group. Since you won't let this go, I'll have a wild ride with you," a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

These three individuals were all at the Martial Artist Realm. Jiang Chen then took out the low-grade, third-tier shortbow he had purchased from his storage bag, the Azure Sea Bow.
