“Alright then, you take care of yourself fourth brother. Luo Jian’s strength has already reached the middle ranked Saint level.” Changyang Hu immediately went off to help his friends. Although seeing Jian Chen in the 3rd region was unexpected, he knew that now wasn’t the time to try to figure out how or why.
Because Jian Chen and Tie Ta’s sudden appearance, the originally disadvantaged Changyang Hu and his group were now on an even playing field. Moreover, because of Tie Ta’s existence, the winds of battle were blowing in their favor. The playing field was now sloped towards them in a short amount of time.
Looking at the Luo Jian’s dark and swarthy face, Jian Chen laughed, “Luo Jian, it looks like your plan to steal our monster cores will end in failure, your monster cores will be given to us instead.”
Luo Jian’s face grew angry as his eyes flashed dangerously, “Changyang Xiang Tian, you don’t have the power to take away my monster cores.”
Jian Chen looked at Luo Jian with some disdain before saying, “Then let’s test it out; let’s see if I have the power to snatch away your monster cores or not.” Jian Chen said nothing more after that, as his body started to sway before charging quickly at Luo Jian. His hand held the iron rod and struck like a viper towards Luo Jian’s chest, using the darkness of the night as its cover.
A flash of killing intent went through Luo Jian’s eyes as he held his cyan colored sword up. He brandished it in an imposing manner before slashing at Jian Chen. Since Luo Jian was not only a middle ranked Saint, but also had wind attributed Saint Force, his attacks were even faster than before. So much that whenever he swung his blade an after image would appear.
Seeing the sword come down towards his head, Jian Chen dodged to the side, and continued to thrust the iron rod towards Luo Jian’s chest.
Luo Jian’s face changed as he realized the speed the iron rod was traveling at was extremely high. At that critical moment, his sword was too far out to bring it back to protect himself, but his reaction speed wasn’t too slow either. Reabsorbing the wind Saint Force into his body, he forced his body to move backwards and bring back his sword.
Luo Jian’s speed became faster; the moment Jian Chen’s iron touched Luo Jian’s clothes, he had already escaped from Jian Chen’s range of attack. As soon as he had escaped Jian Chen’s range, he immediately started to gather the Saint Force into his hands again to slash at Jian Chen again with the sword.
Luo Jian’s attack was fairly simple, but to Jian Chen’s eyes, it was a mess of an attack; not a single amount of technique or finesse was shown. However, Jian Chen still didn’t dare to belittle it too much.
Jian Chen leapt into the air to dodge Luo Jian’s sword. Immediately springing off from a tree trunk, he flew towards Luo Jian, his arms shaking, causing a faint mirror image to appear behind him. Jian Chen’s arm was already traveling at high speeds, and the iron rod was traveling at the speed of lightning towards Luo Jian, so even the naked eye wouldn’t be able to see it.
Luo Jian’s eyes widened in realization as the iron rod had already reached him. This time Luo Jian was unable to defend himself from Jian Chen’s attack nor was he able to dodge in time, resulting in the iron rod piercing deeply into his chest.
Luo Jian’s face hardened as he stared at the impaled iron rod within him, a dumbfounded expression appearing on his face. Not only was there a tinge of disbelief on his face, but despair and fear as well. When the iron rod had pierced into him, he had been unable to mount any type of resistance against it. He had no defense, due to the iron rod being a lot faster in speed than he had been able to react to. Even if he was a wind attribute Saint, the iron rod had still skewered straight through him, causing a fatal injury.
What followed afterwards was beyond everyone’s expectations. The moment Jian Chen’s iron rod had pierced into Luo Jian’s chest, everyone had stopped moving, Then, a pure amount of Saint Force transferred from the iron rod into Luo Jian’s body. With the removal of the rod, the support disappeared, and Luo Jian dropped onto the ground.
When Jian Chen had sent his Saint Force infused soul into Luo Jian’s body, it was as if his body had exploded. The energy rippled through Luo Jian’s body like an energy wave, wreaking havoc within his organs.
