Chapter 296: Ballistas
Seeing his sword meet resistance, the enemy cried out in shock before bringing back his sword once more to slash at Jian Chen.
Jian Chen's sword disappeared again in a flicker of movement, allowing the other person could only hear the sounds of a sword being rapidly thrust at him. Despite the earth blocking his vision, with his strength, it was not too influential on his fighting ability.
In a flash, Jian Chen and the man had exchanged several blows before taking advantage of the man's opening to thrust his sword forward with lightning speed toward his throat.
The sword was far too fast, and in an instant it was already right in front of the man's eyes. The strong amount of Sword Qi flicking off the tip of the sword was already starting to bite into his throat.
The man cried out startled, but with his strong strength, right on the verge of his own death, he quickly brought his Saint Weapon back. Bringing it across his neck to protect it, he simultaneously kicked Jian Chen back.
The Light Wind Sword stabbed into the man's sword and left a deep dent in it while Jian Chen's left hand smashed against the man's leg with a fierce amount of Saint Force.
"Kacha!"
The sounds of bones breaking could be heard as the man's leg instantly fractured. Straight away, the force of the blow sent the man flying backward away from Jian Chen.
Jian Chen took the opportunity to leap out of the earthen enclosure and stared at his attacker. He noticed that the man was a brown robed middle aged man with a relatively small build but had fierce eyes. He had a long beard and a sword that was almost as long as he was tall.
Jian Chen stared coldly at the man, "At what time does an Earth Saint Master have to attack someone from behind as a sneak attack?"
Hearing this, the middle aged man snorted, "Hmph, don't be so righteous. This is a survival of the fittest, whomever gets the final victory is the winner, damned be how he does it." The man stared at Jian Chen and spoke, "Kid, you don't look that old, but your strength is unbelievable. So young, yet already an Earth Saint Master!"
"Thank you for your praise." Jian Chen smiled, "Now do you wish to hand over your tokens, or shall I take them from you?"
"How impudent for you to want to take my tokens. Let's see if you have the strength to do so." The man snorted before waving his sword in preparation to fight once more. At the same time, a large amount of earth attributed Saint Force began to condense over his body like armor, giving him a much stronger form of defense.
Jian Chen's sword was unbelievably fast. In a moment, a single sword strike could be seen in various angles, each shadow image was incredibly hard to differentiate from fake to real.
Right now under Jian Chen's attacks, the middle aged man barely had any time to breathe. Desperately retreating backward, his body was filled with sword cuts as his earth attributed Saint Force armor had almost been destroyed He would not be able to last any longer.
The man was dumbstruck now. He didn't think that Jian Chen would be this strong even though he was an Earth Saint Master. Despite them being at the same level of strength, he wasn't able to fight against him at all, especially against Jian Chen's sword. The sword was almost far too fast for him to react against, and the amount of mirror images from the sword already left him in a daze.
Knowing that he was outmatched, he gave up his will to fight. Leaping away from background, he melted into the ground out of sight as a means to escape.
