"Is the legend true or false?"

"Now that it's being spread in every world, it must be true. It's said that a Fortune Teller found out about the change through a prophecy."

"You believe in the words of Fortune Tellers? They are all deceivers."

"Believe it or not, we must kill Jiang Chen to eliminate a threat to the Wanderers."

"Well said, he will definitely die by my sword."

"That Swordsman is quite formidable."

"The Swordsman is a class developed by us Wanderers. No matter how formidable, can it be more so than our Sword Qi?"

This group of people were Wanderers, and they had formed an Alliance.

The name was catchy too: the Demon Exterminating Alliance.

And Jiang Chen was their target. According to intelligence, he was very likely to show up in the black market, which was a lawless area perfect for striking.

No matter if Jiang Chen was the Swordsman from the prophecy or not, regardless of any prophecy.

As long as they killed him, they could make a name for themselves.

Moreover, Jiang Chen had another identity: a Hero from the Continent of All-Gods.

They were already enemies. There was no need for further discussion.

Lin Yangze sensed the change in Jiang Chen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"A group of The Fallen have come, probably to Cloud End Tavern, likely for me."

"Your Perception is so strong, able to sense them even from such a distance. Truly worthy of being a successor to the [Heart Realm]."

Jiang Chen smiled.

Old man, stop flattering yourself—it was only after my Hundred Times Amplification that I could sense them.

Lin Yangze asked, "Are the people who have come any good?"

"Third-rate trash."

Lin Yangze nodded. "Makes sense. A real master wouldn't bother to kill you, not for fame or profit. It's only the bottom-feeders who would make a move against you."

"But the more people you kill, the broader the web of connections you'll be entangled with, and you'll find it harder to move within the Wanderers' Alliance."

"When you're in the jianghu, you can't help yourself."

Lin Yangze laughed. "I didn't expect someone of your age to have such an understanding. Truly worthy of being my disciple."

Damn it... He's at it again with the self-flattery.

Only then did Jiang Chen realize how shameless the old man was.

Jiang Chen took a swig of his drink and walked outside.

"Where are you going?"

"When you're in the jianghu, you can't help yourself. Since they've come, I have to show my face, don't I?"

"Didn't I teach you how to make masks? Why not use one?"

"I'm not the type to run away."

CREAK...

Jiang Chen pushed open the door, lit a cigarette silently, and then swaggered out the front door. Just as he descended the stairs, he saw a dozen or so of The Fallen enter Cloud End Tavern.

"By the way, do you know what the Swordsman looks like?"

"Of course, very young, about eighteen years old."

"Not unlike that person on the stairs."

"Eh, the resemblance is getting stronger."

"It really is him! Let's open the portrait and check."

"Is our luck this good? We found him as soon as we got here?"

The dozen or so of The Fallen looked at Jiang Chen with astonishment. They had originally come to try their luck, planning to stake out the black market and wait for Jiang Chen to show up. They never expected the main character to be standing right in front of them.

At this moment, Jiang Chen stepped down, walked out of the entrance of Cloud End Tavern, and turned into a side alley.

The dozen or so of The Fallen were unwilling to let Jiang Chen go and followed behind him.

He stopped at the mouth of a deserted alley.

Jiang Chen turned around and asked, "Are you from the Life Alliance?"

"You sure he's the Swordsman?"

"It's him. There's a portrait, and it's a spitting image. Definitely him."

"Seems he knew we were here all along and waited for us to follow. Could it be that he plans to take on all of us by himself?"

"Quite audacious."

Jiang Chen asked again, "Are you from the Life Alliance?"

"No, we're here to hunt you down."

"Step aside! I can handle this one by myself!" A burly man charged forward.

"I've endured twenty years of hard training just for today."

Jiang Chen was speechless. These lowlife Fallen are completely insane! Daring to make fools of themselves without even reaching the Third-stage?

Someone couldn't bear it any longer.

They launched a hidden weapon at Jiang Chen.

With a casual slash, Jiang Chen knocked the hidden weapon aside. Can't you put a little skill into it? Just this...?

Jiang Chen yawned. "All of you come at me together. Save me the effort."

"Bastard, you dare to look down on me?" a middle-aged burly man roared.

"Don't get me wrong. It's not that I look down on you; I look down on all of you."

"Scoundrel!"

"Prepare to die!"

"Take this move, Thousands of Swords Piercing Heart!"

"Overlord Fist!"

"White Crane Spreads Wings..."

White Crane Spreads Wings? What the hell are you showing off!

Jiang Chen activated his Skill. With a mere thought, Three Hundred Sword Auras shot out swiftly. In just a single move, he instantly killed the dozen or so people. It offered no challenge whatsoever.

Jiang Chen shook his head and headed towards the Cloud End Tavern.

「In the shadows.」

Two young women watched Jiang Chen's fight. It was so effortless it looked like crushing ants. The Wanderers didn't stand a chance and were wiped out in an instant.

These two young women were from the Qianren Association, disciples of the Chief of Qianren Association: Gu Zihan and Qin Qiwen. They hid in the darkness to observe Jiang Chen's battle.

They observed every detail of Jiang Chen's fighting style clearly.

Qin Qiwen asked, "Senior Sister, what do you think of this person?"

Gu Zihan nodded. "Very strong. Ordinary people are truly no match for him. This Swordsman is completely different from other Swordsmen."

"Yeah, I wonder if the legends are true?"

"Don't concern yourself with legends. We're here to see just how formidable this person is. He has stirred up such a storm. Perhaps the legends aren't entirely false. If he grows stronger, he will very likely surpass us."

"Senior Sister, aren't you thinking too highly of him? Those dozen or so from before were all third-rate. I could wipe them out with a flick of my finger."

"Haven't you noticed he didn't even go all out?" Gu Zihan said with a worried expression.

At that moment, Jiang Chen appeared nearby, smiling. "The two of you hiding over there, watching the fight without helping, that's hardly nice!"

Gu Zihan and Qin Qiwen turned around to see the figure approaching step by step.

They hadn't expected to be discovered even though they were hidden so well.

Qin Qiwen asked, "Since when have you been behind us?"

"I heard you talking here, so I came over to have a look."

"Did you discover us long ago?"

"If I said it was a coincidence, would you believe me?"

Jiang Chen observed the two young women, one dressed in purple, the other in white. From my Perception, these two are also experts, at least at Granny Jinhua's level. Sixth-stage Wanderers. The Third-stage is a threshold, and the Sixth-stage is another. Beyond the Sixth-stage, one can spread powerful True Qi to form a unique Domain. Within this Domain, they can manipulate Space and Time. It's like an invisible wall. Just like a Magician's Magic Shield, but perhaps even more terrifying.

Qin Qiwen drew her Longsword. "Senior Sister, I'll try to gauge his strength."

"Be careful. This man is not easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Just then, Qin Qiwen charged forward with her sword. Wanderers were a Melee Class, and it was in close combat that they could unleash their greatest strength.

Jiang Chen watched as the white-clad woman flew towards him.

He drew his sword and slashed.
