Li Chanji appeared at the cave entrance, looked at Granny Jinhua with concern, and asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. I just took a hit, but I'll recover quickly."

"I'm not sure how Jiang Chen is doing," Li Chanji said, somewhat worried.

"His speed is very fast; even at my Peak, I couldn't catch up with him, so don't worry. Besides, this kid is very cunning. Zeng Kangsheng is probably not his match."

"He has learned a new Skill. While he can't kill that old dog Zeng Kangsheng, he should be able to stop him."

With a Teleport, Jiang Chen appeared in front of Li Chanji.

"That Zeng Kangsheng you mentioned? He's pursuing us."

Granny Jinhua's face changed dramatically. "So quickly?"

"There's nothing I can do. His True Qi is very powerful. My Sword Qi can't penetrate his thick defenses, so I can't get close to him."

Li Chanji helped Granny Jinhua up. "Let's go."

Granny Jinhua shook her head. "I can't go on. Jiang Chen, take the Young Master and leave. I'll hold off Zeng Kangsheng for a moment."

Hold him off? How can you do that? Your breathing is erratic; you're no match for Zeng Kangsheng.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen grabbed Li Chanji and Granny Jinhua. Lifting them with both hands, he activated Sky Flashing Mode. His speed dropped by two-thirds.

But the speed was still very fast.

Zeng Kangsheng was relentlessly pursuing from behind.

Li Chanji exclaimed in surprise, "You can carry people too?"

"Barely. The speed is a bit slower, probably about the same as Zeng Kangsheng's."

"What's the cooldown time for your Skill?"

"You actually understand this?"

"Nonsense. All you Heroes have Skill cooldown times."

"Sorry, I don't."

[Flash in the Void: Rapidly increases speed for 100 seconds to dodge enemy attacks. Maximum range: 200 meters. Cooldown: 0.05 minutes.]

Cooldown: 3 seconds. Duration: 100 seconds. That meant there was practically no cooldown time.

Zeng Kangsheng was astonished to find that Jiang Chen, even while carrying two people, was still so fast. He could only see a fleeting shadow moving through the cave.

What kind of monster is this Hero?

Zeng Kangsheng stopped. If he couldn't capture Li Chanji, he wouldn't be able to join the Alliance or gain a foothold in the Bach Family. Moreover, he would face the pursuit of the Heavenly Earth Association.

Zeng Kangsheng was already making an all-or-nothing gamble; he absolutely could not let such a good opportunity slip by.

Zeng Kangsheng followed closely behind, not daring to pause for a moment.

Jiang Chen asked, "How long can his True Qi last?"

"At least for two hours."

"Two hours?"

"Yes. He can run at full speed for at least two hours. Are you planning to wait until his True Qi is nearly depleted before making your move?"

Jiang Chen nodded; that was indeed his plan.

Once Zeng Kangsheng's True Qi was nearly depleted, that would be the time for him to strike. A Wanderer without True Qi was like a Hero without mana.

Even if he had Skills, he wouldn't be able to use them.

Zeng Kangsheng shouted, "You're a Hero of the Alliance of All-Gods, and you have the Young Master of the Heavenly Earth Association with you! If you capture him, you can claim a reward from the Alliance of All-Gods. Such a great accomplishment! Are you going to let it pass you by?"

"I will soon be a member of the Alliance of All-Gods! When that time comes, I will report you, and you will be punished!"

Li Chanji glanced at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen laughed. "Report me? That's a joke. You're a Wanderer. Do you really think the Alliance of All-Gods would believe your words? Even if they did, so what?"

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can run. I'm telling you, this path leads to the Difiled God Camp. As a Hero, aren't you afraid of death?"

The Difiled God Camp? Perfect! I was just worrying about not getting any experience. I've been fighting for so long and haven't gained a single thing!

Granny Jinhua whispered, "With my full strength, I can land one strike to break his True Qi shield. If you seize that opportunity, you can deliver a killing blow."

"Will it work?"

"It will."

"If it doesn't work, I won't be able to protect you, Madam."

"I have nothing to do with that blind man," Granny Jinhua retorted, glaring.

"Impossible! My master clearly told me about the special 'entanglement' between you two, and that you have a mole on your back."

Granny Jinhua was furious and embarrassed.

That damned blind man! How could he tell his disciple such things?

The blind man hadn't actually said that; it was all Jiang Chen's wild guess. After all, isn't it normal to have a mole somewhere?

Looking at Granny Jinhua's simmering rage, Jiang Chen said, "Are you ready?"

"What?"

"Treat Zeng Kangsheng as if he were my master, and unleash all your fury in one powerful strike!"

Jiang Chen spun around and charged back towards Zeng Kangsheng.

Zeng Kangsheng was utterly puzzled. Why has he turned back? However, this played right into his hands.

Granny Jinhua roared, "Scumbag, die!"

As Granny Jinhua thrust out her palms, Zeng Kangsheng was aghast. Where did this old woman get such powerful True Qi? He didn't dare hesitate and threw out his own palms.

Like a kite with a snapped string, Granny Jinhua was sent flying backward.

With a mental command, Jiang Chen instantly unleashed thirty thousand Sword Auras. They pierced through Zeng Kangsheng's body in a flash. Zeng Kangsheng stared at his chest as blood poured out.

I can't believe it... I was actually killed by a Hero.

Granny Jinhua's palm strike had shattered Zeng Kangsheng's True Qi defense, and Jiang Chen, seizing the opportunity, delivered the killing blow.

Without True Qi, a Cultivator was no different from an ordinary person.

Why had Granny Jinhua let Jiang Chen act? She had witnessed Jiang Chen's attacks before; they were incredibly fast, invisible to the naked eye. Because of this, Granny Jinhua was convinced Zeng Kangsheng was doomed.

Watching Zeng Kangsheng collapse to the ground, Granny Jinhua truly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dead.

Finally dead.

Li Chanji hurried over, his face anxious. "Granny, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, but I'll need some time to recover," Granny Jinhua said, shaking her head.

"All right, I'll take you back right away."

Li Chanji quickly helped Granny Jinhua up and turned back to look at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen shook his head. "I won't be going. Be careful."

Li Chanji nodded. "Thank you."

"You're too kind."

After Li Chanji left with Granny Jinhua, Jiang Chen looked at Zeng Kangsheng's corpse. Confirming that Zeng Kangsheng was truly dead, he slowly squatted down to search for any valuables.

And indeed, he found something valuable.

It was an ancient book. Jiang Chen flipped it open.

What is all this gibberish? Why can't I understand any of it?

Lin Yangze looked at the book and explained, "This is the ultimate Skill of the Sword Sect, the All Wan Jian Gui Clan's technique. It's normal that you, as a Hero, can't understand it."

"So, if I became a Wanderer, I would understand it?"

"Yes. From the moment you became a Hero, you couldn't learn Wanderers' True Qi or comprehend their books. As for why, I don't understand it either."

"Well, Wan Jian Gui Clan isn't all that impressive then. Wasn't that fellow Zeng Kangsheng still killed by me?"

"Zeng Kangsheng? He hadn't reached the highest Realm in cultivating Wan Jian Gui Clan. If he had truly reached the Peak, every blade of grass and tree could become a Sharp Sword. You wouldn't have stood a chance against him."

"How many years did Zeng Kangsheng cultivate?"

"About forty or fifty years!"

Forty or fifty years just to reach that pathetic level? Good thing I'm not a Wanderer. If I trained for that long, I'd probably end up the same.

"Well, Master, you could cultivate it!"

"At my age, what's the point of cultivating new techniques? Keep this book for now. If you need it later, come find me. You'll need it if you ever betray the Alliance of All-Gods."

"Can't you say something more auspicious?"

"I'm just preparing for the worst. If you ever betray the Continent of All-Gods, I'll take you to find Bai Yun, and he can turn you into a Wanderer."

"I don't need to become a Wanderer. I still prefer my bread and big bed."

Although Jiang Chen was tempted, he still felt the Continent of All-Gods was better.

The Fallen have no God.

But he aspired to become a God.
