Jiang Chen's right hand grasped his sword.

Then he drew the sword and slashed...

A flash of white light, and The Fallen's head instantly hit the ground.

Aggie furrowed his brow. Such powerful Sword Qi! Although it wasn't like The Fallen's, it was faster and had higher offensive power.

The Fallen valued speed, ruthlessness, and precision.

Jiang Chen fully met these criteria.

Christie Burton nodded. "It does indeed resemble your Sword Qi. It seems this profession's development was quite good; it's certainly not a weak one."

Aggie shook his head. "No, he's different. I've seen many Swordsmen, but none as strong as him."

Christie Burton said, "I know that among you Wanderers, just as with us, there are levels and distinctions in strength. Geniuses, of course, are different."

Aggie fell silent.

Christie Burton was right. The skills of The Fallen were entirely different from those on the Hero's Continent, relying completely on one's aptitude. Without aptitude, even decades of study were in vain.

Aggie said, "These people have too little True Qi to form Protective Gang Qi. They're doomed."

A hush fell over the scene.

Qin Yiran stepped back in fright.

An instant kill. A complete one-shot.

Qin Yiran had seen and killed many Swordsmen, but compared to the man before him, they were like fireflies to the brilliant moon.

Qin Yiran loudly proclaimed, "Everyone saw it! This man must be the legendary Swordsman. If he's allowed to grow stronger, he'll undoubtedly kill all Wanderers. For the Wanderers' Alliance, we absolutely cannot let him become stronger!"

CLANG...

Qin Yiran drew his longsword, and those behind him followed suit.

Qin Yiran again loudly declared, "Loyalists, Mystics, Taiyi, Heaven and Earth, Qianren... Are you just going to stand by and watch him kill all Wanderers?"

"We are bound by blood, fighting for freedom!"

All this talk... why not just attack already! Jiang Chen thought.

Jin Yunxi remained silent. She finally understood why Jiang Chen could kill the Son of God and make a name for himself throughout the Xileruo World.

This profession seemed to encompass all aspects of The Fallen.

Jin Yunxi even suspected this Swordsman had far surpassed them.

Jiang Chen said impatiently, "Are you going to fight or not?"

Qin Yiran retorted angrily, "Jiang Chen, don't be so smug! I'm not the only one here; countless seniors are present. If you dare, kill them all!"

"Why should I kill them? I have no grudge against them, and I'm not someone who enjoys fighting and killing."

Jiang Chen understood. This guy's Martial Arts were clearly lacking, yet he was trying to rally other Wanderers to attack me with him. What was that called again? Ah, trying to make a name for himself. That was it.

The other Wanderers weren't fools; none drew their swords. Your grudge with the Life Alliance is your business; it has nothing to do with us.

"Qin Yiran, why aren't you fighting now?"

"That's right! Is the Life Alliance scared?"

"He's here now, so why are your legs trembling? Careful you don't piss your pants!"

"Go on, hurry up! We're supporting you in spirit!"

Facing the surrounding mockery, Qin Yiran grew furious. "Don't you see? He's completely different from other Swordsmen! He *is* that Swordsman, the one prophesied to eliminate all Wanderers!

"Including your parents, including your children!

"Our only chance is to kill him now, before he grows stronger!

"Have you all forgotten the legend?"

Jiang Chen asked, "What legend? You're just spouting nonsense. This is a personal matter between myself and the Life Alliance. Please, everyone, don't interfere. After this, drinks at the tavern are on me. In fact, I have great respect for Wanderers."

"Interesting."

"A Hero offering to buy drinks? That's a first!"

"Great! I love a drink. As long as there's wine, I'm in."

Christie Burton laughed. "Is he trying to win over this crowd?"

Aggie said, "He seems to understand Wanderers quite well."

"He's just like you guys," Christie Burton remarked.

"Even if he understands them," Aggie continued, "these onlookers are just here for the spectacle. They're all riffraff, not worth recruiting."

"Even if they aren't valuable, he certainly has a knack for winning people over."

Faced with Jiang Chen's invitation, many Wanderers chose not to go, but many others wanted to attend. Wanderers, to put it bluntly, were mostly drifters. Many ended up seeking refuge with various clans, working for them in the shadows.

At this point, Arno walked up behind Jiang Chen.

"I've handled it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen knew Arno had arrived.

He also realized these people didn't abide by the codes of the Jianghu. Since they didn't play by the rules, neither would he.

Jiang Chen sighed softly. "Why did you have to involve my family!"

Dragon in the Sky...

Three Hundred Sword Auras materialized around Jiang Chen. With a Flash of White Light, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH...

The Three Hundred Sword Auras shot out.

In an instant, Qin Yiran and a dozen of his men were decapitated, their bodies riddled with dozens of holes. A single, casual strike had killed them all...

Jin Yunxi's brows were deeply furrowed.

Powerful... So incredibly powerful.

The area fell silent. The surrounding Wanderers were dumbfounded. Is this really a Swordsman? A profession developed by the Alliance of All-Gods? This is too damn overpowered!

Christie Burton asked, "Are you confident you can take him on?"

Aggie shook his head. "No. The speed of his Sword Qi is terrifying. This Skill is somewhat like the All Wan Jian Gui Clan Technique, but faster and more powerful.

"Unless we ambush him..."

Jiang Chen turned his head, looking at the masked figures a hundred meters away.

Wan Jian Gui Clan?

Aggie's expression changed drastically. Such powerful Perception! Could he hear us from this far away?

Christie Burton smiled. "Interesting. It seems he heard our conversation."

"It appears so."

"Let's go. We'll wait for him at the Cloud End Tavern. If he finds out, he'll likely want to meet you."

The pair turned and left.

Jiang Chen mused. So these two, a Wanderer and a Hero, are actually working together.

Jiang Chen called out loudly, "Everyone, head to the Cloud End Tavern! All expenses are on me! Proprietress, serve them your best food and wine; don't skimp on my account!"

He and Arno then turned and left.

The Fallen laughed heartily.

"Why is this guy treating us?"

"Is he trying to win us over?"

"They're dreaming! Why would we join the League of Heroes?"

"Still, it's a free meal. Why not go?"

"Since he's treating, wouldn't it be disrespectful not to go?"

"But wouldn't that offend the Life Alliance?"

"We're just going for a meal, not allying with him. How would that offend the Life Alliance?"

...

Arno asked, "Are you trying to win them over?"

"They're unaffiliated Wanderers, too weak. Recruiting them is pointless."

"Then what's your purpose?"

"The ways of the Jianghu," Jiang Chen smiled.

Arno pondered. The ways of the Jianghu? What does that even mean?

There were many factions among the Wanderers. Although these unaffiliated Wanderers hadn't joined any faction, they often possessed a lot of information. News from such Wanderers could be very useful to Jiang Chen.

Especially regarding the Life Alliance, which definitely wasn't just made up of a few small-fry.

The Life Alliance must have powerful experts within its ranks.

Now that he had killed members of the Life Alliance, they certainly wouldn't let this matter rest.
