Jiang Chen's contact with Xuan Long was precisely when Xuan Long had just arrived in Country F. He only knew that Xuan Long and his team were to execute a mission nearby but had no idea what the mission entailed, let alone expecting that in just a few days, they would already be clashing with this so-called Dark Spider.

However, since they were enemies, Jiang Chen felt reassured in his heart.

With a cold laugh, Jiang Chen bellowed, "Since you are the enemy, there's no need for idle talk. Come, let us battle!"

No sooner had his words fallen than Jiang Chen's figure flashed, charging directly at the opponent's Innate Grandmaster.

The others held their guns but didn't dare to shoot; they weren't confident about hitting an Innate Grandmaster. Moreover, should they miss, the bullets could hit their own people instead; Jiang Chen was, after all, positioned amid their group!

Meanwhile, Chen Jiantao and the others, waiting in the distance, heard Jiang Chen's shout and immediately understood, signaling to each other with a throat-slitting gesture.

"Bring it on! I want to see how an Innate Grandmaster from the martial artists' homeland, the Flame Dragon Kingdom, differs from us foreign Innate Grandmasters!" shouted the opponent's Innate Grandmaster as he charged towards Jiang Chen.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two instantly collided in battle, the others hurriedly retreating to avoid being collateral damage; they feared being caught in the aftermath of Jiang Chen's attacks, which were not something they could withstand.

As Jiang Chen and his opponent fought fiercely, Chen Jiantao and the team quietly approached the enemy's rear. Everyone was focused on the fight between Jiang Chen and his opponent, completely unaware of their approach.

Jiang Chen also found these foreign martial artists quite interesting. He didn't draw his sword but used the scabbard to exchange blows with his adversary.

However, as the fight continued, he sensed that his opponent's strength was waning, as if he had ample power but lacked knowledge on how to utilize it.

After pondering, Jiang Chen identified the reason.

Even the Flame Dragon Kingdom had undergone a purge of the martial arts circles by an ancient emperor, causing many cultivation techniques to be lost. Not to mention these foreigners, especially those who practiced Inner Qi. Perhaps they had ancestors who had stolen cultivation methods from the Flame Dragon Kingdom, but over generations, more of the cultivation techniques had been lost, resulting in an even less complete system of cultivation, let alone combat skills.

Realizing this, Jiang Chen didn't waste any more time. He hadn't forgotten that this man had said that Xuan Long and the others were surrounded.

...

"First Form of the Blood Dance Heaven and Earth, Sky-cleaving Slash!"

A loud cry faintly came over, and Xuan Long, who was discussing countermeasures, suddenly froze and exclaimed, "Young Master!"

"It's the Young Master's voice, the Young Master has come!" An Long said, excited.

"No, that's where Dark Spider has set the ambush; the Young Master has walked into it!" An Bing urgently declared.

Xuan Long's face turned pale, "Bad news, the Young Master and his men don't have weapons now. No, we must hurry! Go to him immediately!"

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Xuan Long and his men rushed towards the source of the sound.

By the time Xuan Long and his men arrived, the battle had ended, leaving hundreds of bodies on the ground.

"Where are they?" Scar inquired with a frown.

In the darkness of the night, with visibility hindered, they couldn't see clearly whether anyone was ahead, but they could sense that the battle was over.

Xuan Long sniffed the air, frowning deeply, and whispered, "Such a strong scent of blood."

"Xuan Long?" a surprised shout came not far off, as a figure approached them.

Whoosh!

Scar and the others raised their guns in defense.

"Drop your weapons, it's the Young Master!" Xuan Long shouted urgently, rushing towards Jiang Chen.

"Let's go; this isn't a place to stay long. We'll talk after reaching a safe place!" Jiang Chen, sensing two powerful forces rapidly approaching, spoke urgently.

"Yes!" Xuan Long nodded in response, and followed by Jiang Chen, they delved into the woods.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Not long after Xuan Long and the others had left, two figures appeared from two different directions at the site of the battle.

"Ke'ersi?"

"Mu Da'er?"

The two men cried out in surprise at the same time. One of them took out a lighter and struck it. When he saw the scene around them, his face changed drastically.

Bodies were strewn all around, hundreds of them, each with their throats cut by a sharp blade.

"Si Gelou!"

"Si Gelou!"

The two yelled loudly, but there was no response. They looked at each other, and Ke'ersi whispered, "Do we pursue?"

"Pursue what? Si Gelou is missing; it must have been reinforcements from the Flame Dragon. Let's head back first. If the two of us chase after them, what would we do if we get caught in the middle?" Mu Da'er said irritably.

Ke'ersi nodded, and they both turned and ran in the direction from which Xuan Long had come. In that direction lay their boss, Mage Liesi, of the Dark Spider.

A hundred miles away from the site of the battle, Jiang Chen and his companions ran to the side of a small river. As the sun slowly rose in the east, Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Let's all rest."

Chen Jiantao and the others shivered inside, all turning to look at Jiang Chen, who was slightly startled, then said with a smile, "What's wrong, got a shadow in your heart? That's not a good habit."

Chen Jiantao and the others realized what he meant and shook their heads with wry smiles, beginning to arrange sentries and places to rest.

"Young Master, this is Scar, our newly acquainted brother." An Long went to arrange the watch, and Xuan Long brought Scar to Jiang Chen.

"Young Master," said Scar, nodding at Jiang Chen and examining him with curious eyes.

Jiang Chen returned the gesture with a smile and then turned to Xuan Long, "What happened? How did you get into it with that Dark Spider?"

"Young Master, our mission was against them. We've completed our task, protected our employer to the destination. They hate us for ruining their plans, and they also want the source of our elixirs, so they fought us to the death!" Xuan Long explained briefly.

After Xuan Long recounted the events, Scar couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, although the main force of the Dark Spider kept following close behind us, there were also Innate Grandmasters leading the ones in front meant to intercept. Didn't you encounter a group like that?"

"Yes, I did!" Jiang Chen nodded.

Scar was slightly taken aback, and with surprise, he asked, "Where is that Innate Grandmaster?"

"I killed him," Jiang Chen replied nonchalantly.

"Killed, killed?!" Scar's eyes widened incredulously as he stared at Jiang Chen.

They heard the noise and then rushed over; it was less than ten minutes in total. When they arrived, Jiang Chen and the others had already concealed themselves well. Moreover, Xuan Long said that Jiang Chen and his group didn't have guns. Now, each had a weapon in hand, which meant Jiang Chen and his companions took less than ten minutes to kill their enemies, clean the battlefield, and hide.

In ten minutes, they had killed a hundred top mercenaries, including the one Innate Great Grandmaster. Such an accomplishment left Scar completely dumbfounded.

"It's just killing an Innate Great Grandmaster, Scar. Was it worth that reaction?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, watching Scar's astonishment.

Scar's face twitched, and he forcibly swallowed the curse that nearly escaped his lips.

Just? But that's an Innate Great Grandmaster!

Young Master, ah! Long and the others always said you were very strong, but you don't have to be absurdly powerful, do you?

Killing an Innate Great Grandmaster is spoken of as casually as if killing a little chick – so simple.

It's terrifying!
