Jie Ming was greatly alarmed inwardly. His cultivation method was extremely overbearing, and his strength was tremendous.
Among those of the same level, there were very few people whose strength could compare with his.
Jiang Chen was only at the Martial Master Realm, Second Level. How could he possibly possess such powerful strength?
This boy's talent was terrifying.
If Jiang Chen's cultivation reached the same level as his, wouldn't Jiang Chen completely crush him in terms of strength?
Jie Ming was also a core disciple of the Yinluo Sect. Otherwise, how could he have been entrusted with leading this mission?
Unfortunately, their luck was terrible. Something unexpected had happened along the way, and the Demonic Soul Blade was now in Jiang Chen's hands.
Jiang Chen had not only failed to hide himself but had even dared to launch an attack. His courage was truly extraordinary.
"Boy, I know your name is Jiang Chen. The Bloodfire Mercenary Group has already told us about you. As long as you obediently hand over that long blade and then await death, I can guarantee that our Yinluo Sect will not target your Jiang Family."
"If you refuse to cooperate, then both you and the Jiang Family behind you will cease to exist." Jie Ming's voice was cold.
After exchanging blows just now, he already knew that Jiang Chen would not be easy to deal with.
Moreover, Jiang Chen had helpers.
The strength of these two helpers was formidable, placing them in a passive position.
"Seeking death." When Jiang Chen heard that the other party knew his identity, his killing intent grew even stronger. These people could not be allowed to live.
It seemed that his decision had been correct. Not a single one of these people would be spared.
They wanted to kill him and target the Jiang Family?
How could Jiang Chen allow such a thing to happen?
Jiang Chen immediately summoned the Demonic Soul Blade, and the true qi within his body transformed into Demonic Energy.
In an instant, a shocking demonic aura radiated from Jiang Chen's entire body.
"This is..." Jie Ming's eyes widened. He had never imagined that Jiang Chen could transform into a Demonic cultivator.
In truth, the Yinluo Sect was also a demonic cultivation sect, and the cultivation methods they practiced leaned toward demonic cultivation.
Of course, they also possessed some righteous cultivation methods. That depended on each person's choice.
The so-called righteous and demonic cultivation methods merely had different true-qi attributes.
Righteous cultivation methods were mostly rigid and intensely yang-oriented, while demonic cultivation methods leaned toward the sinister and evil.
Each had its own merits.
However, many demonic cultivation methods were extremely bloody in their methods of cultivation. Those bloody demonic cultivation methods were reviled by many.
That was also why many people were prejudiced against Demonic cultivators.
Jiang Chen urged the Demonic Soul Blade, and his eyes turned blood-red.
"Die!" Jie Ming was greatly startled, but even so, he still had to kill Jiang Chen.
Moreover, he recognized the Demonic Soul Blade in Jiang Chen's hand. It was the very blade he had lost. He had never expected that Jiang Chen would actually unseal it.
Seeing such astonishing might, the Demonic Soul Blade was definitely no ordinary item.
"Hegemonic Blade Art." Jiang Chen used the Fifth-tier martial skill, Hegemonic Blade Art. The blade technique's might was overbearing as it slashed directly toward Jie Ming before him.
"Clang!" When the two spirit weapons collided, Jie Ming was instantly blasted backward.
His longsword nearly flew from his hand.
Jiang Chen's strength had become much greater.
After Jie Ming was blasted backward, Jiang Chen did not let up. He immediately used Traceless Steps and charged after him.
Several streaks of blade light fell.
"Spurt, spurt, spurt, spurt." Jie Ming did not even manage to scream before his head was severed. Then several more blades chopped into his body, dismembering him outright.
The might was incomparably overbearing.
This was practically no different from an instant kill.
After using the Demonic Soul Blade, Jiang Chen's strength had risen tremendously.
Dealing with Jie Ming was utterly effortless.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's eyes were blood-red, and his mind was filled with slaughter. He looked toward the surrounding experts of the Yinluo Sect and the people from the Bloodfire Mercenary Group.
Jiang Chen's figure was as swift as lightning, weaving back and forth among them.
Wherever he passed, a curtain of blood rose into the air, and those people died one after another.
He Yushi and Li Ji were both stunned.
Even the two of them combined could not kill enemies at half Jiang Chen's speed.
Some people tried to flee, but Li Ji and He Yushi intercepted and killed them.
They did not let a single person escape.
As for Chen Luo of the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, his expression changed drastically, and fear appeared on his face. Jiang Chen's strength was too powerful.
Their people had no power to fight back before Jiang Chen.
Chen Luo tried to flee, but He Yushi forced him back.
When he turned around, he discovered that Jiang Chen had already killed everyone else. Now, only he remained.
"You're the only one left." Jiang Chen's voice rang out.
That voice sounded like a death warrant in Chen Luo's ears.
Li Ji and He Yushi also closed in, leaving him nowhere to go.
Chen Luo could not possibly be a match for the two disciples of the Heaven Sword Sect.
Now there was also a Jiang Chen who was this powerful. He was doomed.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Chen Luo panicked.
As a squad captain of the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, Chen Luo had committed countless acts of murder and plunder.
Only now that he had become the prey did he experience that terror.
The terror of death.
He had never imagined that the Jiang Family of Qingyue Town would produce such a powerful freak as Jiang Chen.
As long as Jiang Chen did not die prematurely, he would definitely become a powerhouse in the future.
"Hasn't your Bloodfire Mercenary Group been hunting me all this time? Now I've appeared. What is it? Have you lost your nerve?" Jiang Chen sneered.
Jiang Chen of course remembered Chen Luo. When he had gone to Snake King Valley before, it was Chen Luo who had led the Bloodfire Mercenary Group members in surrounding and intercepting him.
When Jiang Chen had attacked the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, he had also fought Chen Luo.
However, Jiang Chen's strength had been insufficient at the time, and he had been unable to kill Chen Luo.
Now that Jiang Chen had reached the Martial Master Realm, Second Level, even a Martial Master Realm, Ninth Level Jie Ming had been no match for him while wielding the Demonic Soul Blade. Needless to say, Chen Luo, who was only at the Martial Master Realm, Seventh Level.
"Everything before this was my fault. As long as you let me go, I can have the Bloodfire Mercenary Group let bygones be bygones regarding what happened between us," Chen Luo promised.
In truth, although Chen Luo said that on the surface, that was not what he was thinking inwardly.
In his mind, as long as he escaped danger and returned to the stronghold, he would definitely report Jiang Chen's strength.
With Jiang Chen's current combat power, perhaps only a Martial Grandmaster Realm expert could be dispatched to suppress and kill him.
He would have his revenge.
But how could Jiang Chen believe Chen Luo's words?
The Bloodfire Mercenary Group's reputation was abysmal. That was already known throughout the surrounding regions.
"By the way, before you die, I'll tell you one more secret. The treasury of your stronghold was robbed some time ago. That was my doing. I also killed your younger brother." Jiang Chen sneered.
"It was you..." Chen Luo's eyes widened. He had never imagined that Jiang Chen had been the one who attacked the Bloodfire Mercenary Group some time ago.
At that time, he had even fought Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen had ultimately escaped.
The person they had wanted to deal with had actually been the same person.
In that battle, Jiang Chen had killed Chen Luo's younger brother, Chen Wei. Jiang Chen had personally heard Chen Luo's anguished cries at the time, calling Chen Wei his younger brother.
Despair filled Chen Luo's face. It seemed he would not survive, but before dying, he would not let Jiang Chen off easily.
"Jiang Chen, our Bloodfire Mercenary Group already knows your identity. I believe our hall master has also received the news. I believe it won't be long before he demands that your Jiang Family hand you over. When that happens, the Bloodfire Mercenary Group will avenge me." Chen Luo's eyes were filled with hatred.
After saying this, he charged toward Jiang Chen. Even if he died, he did not want to let Jiang Chen off easily.
Looking at the martial skill Chen Luo unleashed, a trace of disdain flashed through Jiang Chen's eyes. Too slow. In Jiang Chen's eyes, his movements were simply too slow.
"Spurt." Jiang Chen used Traceless Steps and swept past Chen Luo in an instant, his blade light flashing.
A bloody line appeared across Chen Luo's neck. Then his head fell, and his headless corpse collapsed.
One slash, one instant kill. Jiang Chen, under Demonization, was far too powerful.
