Jiang Chen gave a thumbs-up. "Master, you're amazing."

"Nonsense. How could a master like me be famous for nothing? But this is just a simple disguise. Becoming a true expert is still a long way off for you."

"This, you'll teach me as well?"

"You'll learn it gradually. The priority now is to settle your affairs quickly. The Heavenly Earth Association will suspect you're behind this sooner or later."

Jiang Chen nodded. He understood Harkins had come because of Eleanor's death. If anything happened to Harkins, suspicion would easily fall on me. But Jiang Chen didn't dwell on it. I'll take care of Harkins first. After leaving the room and walking onto the street, he found an alleyway to put on his mask.

Unfortunately, just as Harkins and a dozen of his men were leaving the hotel, they ran right into Jiang Chen.

Without a word, Jiang Chen drew his sword and slashed.

Sword Qi Break...

Seeing Jiang Chen make his move, Harkins instantly teleported to the side, his face grave. "Who are you?"

"Remember this: the one who killed you is Chen Jinnan."

Wan Jian Gui Clan Mode activated.

Thirty thousand strands of Sword Qi appeared beside Jiang Chen, a dense swarm of starlight that made one's scalp tingle. Each point of starlight was a strand of Sword Qi—thirty thousand in total.

The thirty thousand Sword Qi rushed out in an instant.

SWOOSH!

The Heroes beside Harkins didn't even have time to react before they were struck down. As for Harkins, his face paled, and he instantly teleported away from the scene. However, Jiang Chen sensed the spatial fluctuation and immediately gave chase.

Harkins scowled. "Damn Heavenly Earth Association! Are you trying to make an enemy of me? I'll never let you get away with this!"

"Maybe in your next life!"

Harkins's expression changed dramatically. How can this person be so fast?

The thirty thousand Sword Qi surged towards Harkins, and even his Magic Shield couldn't withstand the Sword Qi Attack.

CRACKLE!

In an instant, the Magic Shield shattered, and the thirty thousand Sword Qi dismembered Harkins. Jiang Chen vanished into the night.

「Xileruo World.」

The Underworld Army had already breached the rift, driving the Alliance Legion out of the Xileruo World. They stationed an eight-million-strong army there, preparing to launch further offensives within it at any moment.

Jiang Chen returned to the villa, where Jiang Qiu and the others were waiting.

Eleanor was dead, Harkins missing.

With the Gregory Family's original leader gone, the Alliance of All-Gods temporarily tasked the Gregory Family Clan with forming a legion to confront the impending enemies.

Jiang Chen, along with Jiang Qiu and the others, followed Arno.

Arno said, "Harkins has disappeared."

"I don't know."

"The Bach Family hasn't sent any replacements yet, so our Clan will temporarily lead the Legion into battle. We are the Thirty-eighth Legion. The commander is my cousin, Walker, a Fifth-stage Sorcerer who has returned for the battle."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Okay."

"I will integrate all of you into the Thirty-eighth Legion. This time is completely different. The Underworld Clan has invaded the Xileruo World, and there's no turning back. If we withdraw further, the Human World will suffer too. Your Human race's Minor World simply cannot withstand an attack from the Underworld Clan."

Jiang Chen pondered. That's true. Even an army of hundreds of thousands could annihilate the entire Human World.

Arno arranged everything and led Jiang Chen into the Thirty-eighth Legion.

The Thirty-eighth Legion comprised one hundred thousand soldiers, the entirety of the Gregory Family's forces. Other families did likewise, deploying their core forces for the great war ahead.

Jiang Chen formed a team with Jiang Qiu and the others.

[Jiang Qiu: Level 78]

[Hanna: Level 80]

[Caroline: Level 79]

[Xueli: Level 79]

[Muriel: Level 77]

[Angelina: Level 76]

The seven of them formed a team and joined the Legion's ranks.

A vast army of millions marched toward the front lines. The sky was dark with swarms of Flying Dragons, and Jiang Chen walked among them.

Jiang Chen said, "You all need to stick close to me. In a battle involving millions, I can't guarantee your safety."

Alice and her group were also participating in such a battle for the first time. They were a bit scared. They were all around Level 80, not even Second-stage. On the battlefield, they were mere cannon fodder. Only Fourth-stage or Fifth-stage cultivators could hope to protect themselves.

"Don't worry, we can protect ourselves."

"Don't be afraid, we're quite strong, too."

Jiang Chen smiled but said nothing. He knew the Underworld Clan warriors were all exceptionally brave and skilled, each one terrifyingly strong. Since the girls had never encountered an Underworld Clan warrior before, they naturally had no idea.

In his view, an ordinary Underworld Clan warrior was equivalent to a First-stage Demon King, and a Second-stage expert from their side was on par with a Second-stage Demon King. How could they possibly fight when facing millions of warriors, all at the Demon King level?

「On the plains...」

Jiang Chen flapped his wings and soared into the air, surveying the Underworld Clan warriors opposite him. They were a dark, pressing horde, so numerous that their ranks stretched beyond sight. Beyond people, there were still damn more people. In such large-scale combat, there's no way to pay attention to those around you.

Priests like Angelina were especially vulnerable. They couldn't venture deep into the battlefield and could only support their teammates by bolstering their combat strength. Yet, even these Priests had to enter the fray.

As the war horn sounded, the army began its charge. Warriors roared in unison. Jiang Chen instantly activated his battle skills: Flash in the Void, Tian Gang Sword Body, and Wan Jian Gui Clan Mode.

Especially with Wan Jian Gui Clan Mode active, thirty thousand strands of Sword Qi shimmered into existence around him.

Harvey Franklin, the Alliance's commander-in-chief for this operation, watched the battlefield. Noticing the sudden appearance of tens of thousands of points of light, he remarked, "It seems we have some experts on our side."

"Sword Qi? Could The Fallen have joined the battle as well?"

"Christie Burton has many Wanderers with her. It must be one of them."

"No, that's the Gregory Family's Legion. Christie Burton's Legion is on the right flank."

"Who is this person?"

"The Gregory Family has a Swordsman; it must be him."

"The Swordsman who once held off an army of a million?"

Harvey Franklin ordered, "Xiso, Theo, head to the Gregory Family's position. If any enemy expert makes a move, protect that Swordsman."

"Yes, sir."

"Commander, sir, is it really necessary to protect one Swordsman?"

Harvey Franklin replied, "If he could hold off a million-strong Evil Army, he can do the same against the Underworld Army. Should any of their experts make a move, we cannot afford to lose him."

The slaughter began.

With a mental command, Jiang Chen directed the Sword Qi to follow the others. Low profile, low profile. Everything within a kilometer was under his control.

As the battle began, a Hero stared at the golden motes of light that suddenly appeared around him, his face a mask of astonishment. What the hell is this? Why is it following me?

A strand of Sword Qi suddenly shot forward, felling an Underworld Clan warrior.

Is someone protecting us?

Whose skill is this?

What's going on? The enemy died before I even made a move?

That speed is incredible!

Just then, as the armies clashed, thirty thousand warriors under Jiang Chen's unseen influence charged directly into the enemy's formation, plunging like a sharp knife into its heart. Harvey Franklin witnessed this and chuckled. "He's hiding his true strength, not wanting anyone to know it's his handiwork. Cunning kid."

"Commander, what skill is this?"

"Are The Fallen this terrifying?"

"Let me correct you on one point: he is not one of The Fallen. He is a Hero. You all must remember that clearly."
