Light Cultivation
Eps. 167 — Attack City
When he exited the inn, Jian Chen found many masked people already popping up in the city, some of them were fighting with some city officials and the rest were attacking the residents.
The masked warriors kept coming through the gate, the number of which was originally only a few turned into dozens until it continued to become dozens of people.
City officers soon also sprang up and faced the masked swordsman but because the number of opponents was too many that some of them escaped into the residential area.
The warriors of Shui city did not remain silent when the masked swordsman began attacking innocent citizens, they helped the city officials face him.
The city's situation was so chaotic with so many fights, the locals started running around to find a safe place.
Lan Qiaoqiao was to the point that it was hard to say anything looking at the situation. "Brother Jian, isn't that mask..."
Jian Chen clenched his hands hard. "They are from the Devil Tower organization!"
Jian Chen had not expected the organization he was discussing just now to attack a city like this. He took out his Asura sword, "I'll fight them, I won't let them get away from here."
"Brother Jian, we will also help you!"
Jian Chen nodded then started moving to one of the masked warriors while the five girls scattered in various directions, the five of them taking out sharp blade weapons.
The masked troops that attacked the average city were at the realm of the 8th Stage Soul Realm, few of them had the cultivation of a 2nd or 3rd stage Life Realm.
Jian Chen moved quickly then swung his sword at one of the masked swordsmen fighting, the swordsman was unprepared when suddenly Jian Chen approached him, in a single slash, Jian Chen instantly killed him.
Jian Chen moved back into another fight, helping the city officials.
Every slash that Jian Chen swung could kill his enemy in a single strike, although he did not use any inner power yet the Asura Sword had high sharpness.
The sword was increasingly glowing red whenever Jian Chen managed to take his life, in a relatively short time he had already killed dozens of them.
The action was immediately realized by the masked swordsman party, they stopped the fight with the city officials and directly moved towards Jian Chen who was slashing the necks of his comrades.
The masked swordsman was quite certain Jian Chen was the person that the Elders wanted to kill, from the very beginning their goal of attacking the city was to search for Jian Chen while they were attacking the local citizens just for the sheer satisfaction of a murderer.
Jian Chen smiled faintly seeing dozens of mask warriors moving towards him, before they surrounded himself Jian Chen suddenly disappeared from their sight.
"Huh, where'd he disappear to?"
"Did he run away?"
The thirty masked swordsmen who were about to storm Jian Chen were all confused when Jian Chen simply disappeared from their sight.
"You see where, I'm here..."
Jian Chen reappeared but was in their rear position, before the masked warriors reacted Jian Chen was already releasing an extremely cold air.
The bodies of the masked warriors instantly shivered violently, they tried to move but the coldness made their bodies numb.
All tried to drain the power in order to warm up the body but Jian Chen did not let that happen, the Asura swords had already swung to their necks one by one.
Slash after slash Jian Chen swung until half of the ones about to surround him were killed, as Jian Chen wanted to kill even more there were dozens of flying blades pointing at him.
Jian Chen used his sword to fend off the blades, he then realized the masked warriors were starting to throw secret knives behind their robes.
"Hm, a knife wrapped in poison... Fascinating."
Jian Chen recognized the type of poison that was in the blade when trying to fend off the blades, the poison was not deadly to a swordsman but if he were to hit it he would be temporarily paralyzed.
Jian Chen played his sword quickly to fend off the blades while moving backwards, the other masked warriors started throwing his knife seeing Jian Chen successfully preoccupied.
In the short period of time Jian Chen had managed to fend off hundreds of blades, the masked swordsmen were confident Jian Chen would be further cornered and it was only a matter of time that the blade scratched his skin.
Jian Chen smiled sinisterly, of course he was aware of the plan of the masked swordsman. Jian Chen then activated his celestial eyes making one of his eyes glow silvery.
The blade that had previously moved quickly now looked much slower in Jian Chen's eyes.
While fending off his opponent's weapon Jian Chen began to catch the knives with his other hand and then threw them back.
The blade that Jian Chen had unleashed was shrouded in inner power, in addition to moving faster the blade was also aiming at the vital parts of his enemy.
The masked warriors were surprised instead of playing when Jian Chen did so, they did not expect Jian Chen to use his organization's blades to injure their own comrades.
They instantly stopped throwing knives but that did not mean Jian Chen stopped attacking.
When the blade attack started to stop Jian Chen instantly moved quickly closer to them with the blink of an eye.
Jian Chen's speed now used the light element so it looked like it was teleporting in his opponent's eyes.
Jian Chen released a cold chill back making his opponent's body unable to move, Jian Chen swung his sword swiftly and killed any swordsman within his attack range.
The action turned into a massacre, making masked warriors or city soldiers gulp when they saw it.
They could see how Jian Chen seemed to be enjoying the killing, let alone his sword which was increasingly shining when Jian Chen was about to kill.
"Elemental Fire - Blowing Fireballs!"
A huge fireball suddenly appeared and aimed at Jian Chen quickly.
Jian Chen made no attempt to dodge it, he poured out a deep force on the Asura sword then split the fireball in half. It was only after the fire was gone that Jian Chen discovered there was one masked swordsman who was stronger than the others, he was at the realm of the Earth Realm.
The appearance of the masked swordsman was also different, Jian Chen guessed that he had an unusual post in the organization and that was indeed true since he was an Elder of the Demon Tower.
"Oh So, it looks like you're the one who killed my sister?" The Demon Tower Elder stared at Jian Chen sharply.
"Hm, I don't know who your sister is, you guys wear masks so I don't know who she is, I don't know her anyway... " Jian Chen shrugged his shoulders.
The Demon Tower elder clenched his arms hatefully, he gestured for the other subordinates to come along.
The mask warriors looked doubtful but he could not refute, they hoped that with the help of his Elders now, they could kill Jian Chen easily.
"Prepare because if you get caught, I'll torture you to the smallest pain you can ever imagine..." The Demon Tower elder took out two black-colored short swords.the sword had been smeared with the same poison. "And after that, I'll kill you slowly, eating every piece of meat in your body until you...."
Unfinished the Demon Tower Elder spoke out suddenly there was a wind blowing fiercely, the instant the Elder's head fell from its origin and rolled on the ground. On the same side Jian Chen was already nearby.
