What kind of accursed skill is this?

The Fallen are so fast!

No, it can't be The Fallen.

But if it's not The Fallen, how could they use Sword Qi—and so many damn Sword Auras in their attack? In the blink of an eye, twenty thousand Elf Race warriors were gone.

With a thought, Jiang Chen unleashed thirty thousand Sword Auras towards Xis.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Once again, it was completely ineffective. His flesh was as strong as a fortress of copper and iron. Jiang Chen emerged from the fog, looking at Xis.

Xis bent his right leg and swept his left leg back, launching forward like an arrow from a bowstring, five monstrous hands gathering Magic Power.

Xis knew Jiang Chen was very fast and that long-distance magic was insufficient to harm him, so he prepared to cast magic at close range.

Although his class was Archer, his defense far surpassed that of a warrior.

So, he had no fear, even at close quarters.

Moreover, Elf Race Archers were completely different from Human Race Archers; Elf Race Archers could engage in melee combat and, furthermore, use magic.

Jiang Chen faced Xis's charge.

His body flashed, dodging quickly, with Xis trailing behind him.

[Yuan Qi Barrier]

CRACK... CRACK...

Xis felt the gravity. His legs slowly bent, then returned to normal.

Clearly, a hundredfold increase in gravity hadn't deprived Xis of his combat capability, but it did pressure him. He lacked any attributes that could mitigate abnormal status effects.

Xis's running speed was noticeably much slower.

"A gravity status effect? You're not one of The Fallen."

"Who told you I was one of The Fallen?"

"Then how can you use Sword Qi?"

"Haven't you ever heard of the Swordsman class?"

Xis truly hadn't heard of the Swordsman. What kind of Phantom Class was this, to be so incredibly powerful?

Xis's five large hands cast magic at Jiang Chen. This time, Jiang Chen didn't dodge; instead, thirty thousand Sword Auras swiftly struck out, blocking the magic.

Magic is energy, and Sword Qi is also energy.

The Sword Auras formed a shield to block the magic offensive attack.

"Your magic is strong, but my sword is also sharp."

Sword Qi Break...

Sword Blade - Storm...

With two swift moves, the storm formed by the sword blades enveloped Xis, containing ten thousand Sword Auras within it.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

A protective shell quickly enveloped Xis. To him, this level of attack was mere tickling. Just then, a dark shadow encased Xis.

It was Jiang Qiu's Nano Insects, incessantly gnawing at Xis.

In no time, the Nano Insects collapsed to the ground.

One by one, the Nano Insects were corroded.

This guy has enchantments on his weapon?

No, it's not the weapon; his body itself seems to be enchanted, like a Corrosion Monster. His flesh possesses some kind of toxicity that can corrode the Nano Insects.

By now, most of Xis's flesh had been gnawed away, yet his body was visibly regenerating at a rapid pace.

Xis looked at Jiang Qiu, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and suddenly charged at her.

Jiang Chen blocked Xis's path and extended his left index finger.

Mysterious Heavenly Finger...

A beam of golden light shot out, instantly piercing Xis's skull, leaving a thumb-sized hole. Xis fell backward, staring at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

A True Qi Attack was indeed formidable. With a hundredfold amplification, it had instantly killed Xis.

Even the greatest defenses were insignificant before a True Qi Attack.

Jiang Qiu asked, "Is he dead?"

"He's dead."

Looking at the mountain cave ahead, Jiang Chen said, "I'm going in to take a look and retrieve the Spiritual Pearl."

"I'll come with you."

At this moment, Lisa arrived with her people. Seeing Xis lying on the ground, she followed Jiang Chen into the cave. The entrance was large, and white Parasitic Beasts appeared on the walls.

Seeing someone enter, the Parasitic Beasts all pounced towards Jiang Chen.

With a mere thought, Jiang Chen swiftly dispatched them with his Sword Auras.

Parasitic Beasts only reached their full combat potential when infesting a host. Such weak Parasitic Beasts offered practically no experience points.

They also had little combat ability.

As they ventured deeper, at the end of the passage, a black-robed man stood there. A Spiritual Pearl rested on a table beside him. Jiang Chen halted.

Who was this person?

His body contained powerful True Qi; he was at least a Sixth-stage Expert.

The Fallen?

Why is one of The Fallen here?

What set this Fallen apart was that he was actually parasitized by Parasitic Beasts, his flesh and blood appearing just like those who had been infested.

Jiang Qiu raised her hand, unleashing Nano Insects.

As these Nano Insects came within three feet of him, they abruptly fell to the ground.

Jiang Qiu exclaimed, "What kind of ability is this?"

"Don't attack! This man is strong. He's one of The Fallen, with powerful True Qi. He's at least a Sixth-stage Expert—equivalent to a Sixth-stage Divine Class. You all retreat first."

The black-robed man turned his head to look at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen saw the distinct characters on his forehead.

Indeed...

"You seem to know quite a bit about The Fallen?" the black-robed man said.

"Somewhat," Jiang Chen replied.

"Who are you?"

"A Hero."

"And who are you?" Jiang Chen asked.

"My former name was Hei Yun."

"Hei Yun? Never heard of you."

"You're not one of us, so of course, you wouldn't have heard of me."

Hei Yun... where did this expert come from?

Could he be Bai Yun's brother?

Hei Yun looked at the floating Sword Auras and nodded in approval. "It seems you are a Swordsman, wielding the Wanderer's Sword Qi—a new class developed by All Gods. It's comparable to a Wanderer's True Qi. A pity, though."

"A pity for what?"

"A pity that this isn't true Sword Qi. Though it looks similar, it's not the real thing."

Jiang Chen asked with a smile, "So, what should I call you now? Parasitic Beast? Or Hei Yun?"

"You think I've been parasitized?"

"What else could it be!"

"You'll never understand how powerful Wanderers are. How could mere Parasitic Beasts control me? Wanderers cultivate their souls, not their flesh. When it tried to parasitize me, I, in turn, gained its power."

Jiang Chen's face was filled with confusion.

Not parasitized and possessed?

Hei Yun extended his right hand, and countless Sword Auras burst forth. Jiang Chen's mind raced; he summoned his Sword Auras, and thirty thousand of them instantly formed a shield to meet the attack head-on.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Hei Yun's Sword Qi was very strong, much stronger than Jiang Chen's.

However, Jiang Chen had numbers on his side—a full thirty thousand Sword Auras—which rapidly blocked Hei Yun's offensive. Just then, Hei Yun's right arm split into ten hands.

He once again launched a Sword Qi Attack.

Uh...

So dishonorable...

Jiang Chen quickly retreated. Hei Yun's figure flashed, instantly keeping pace. Jiang Chen grabbed Jiang Qiu and fled, completely ignoring Lisa, with Hei Yun hot on their heels.

They quickly exited the cave...

Jiang Qiu cried out, "Even you are not his match?"

"After absorbing the Parasitic Beasts, this person has become somewhat monstrous."

"But isn't he a Parasitic Beast?!"

"It's hard to say right now. Take Angelina and retreat quickly. I'll hold this person off. He's one of The Fallen, and the strongest enemy I've ever faced."

"Be careful."

Jiang Qiu quickly retreated, while Jiang Chen halted.

He turned to look back at Hei Yun.

Hei Yun, however, didn't pursue. Instead, he watched Jiang Chen with keen interest, completely unconcerned by Jiang Qiu's departure, his focus solely on Jiang Chen.

"Your movement technique reminds me of someone."

Jiang Chen was stunned. Did this man know Bai Yun?

Could he actually be Bai Yun's brother?

The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about understanding people, social dynamics, and connections.

Big brother, I've been looking for you for many years.
