Chapter 628 627: Why Fear a Fight?

On the horizon.

A dark, pressing mass of figures charged over the horizon. Mountain-sized members of the Kun-eating Race threw their heads back and roared, their Evil Qi soaring into the sky.

One, two, three...

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. "Over three thousand members of the Kun-eating Race, and more than five hundred of them are Emperor Level."

"What?"

"How can this be? Over three thousand members of the Kun-eating Race... That's the size of a large battalion! There must be at least three Thousand-man Commander-level members among them!"

"It's over, it's over! We're completely finished!"

Everyone's faces turned pale.

Even Tong Niu looked anxious as he turned to Jiang Chen. "Boss, what do we do?"

Zhang Kang said in a low voice, "Centurion, we should run! If we go now, before they get here, maybe a few of us can escape. If we delay any longer, our whole squad will be wiped out!"

At the same realm, members of the Kun-eating Race were always stronger than human Martial Artists.

If a Thousand-man Commander-level Kun-eater took action, it would take at least two human Thousand-man Commanders to hold them in check!

To annihilate this force of three thousand Kun-eaters, they would need at least eight thousand, maybe even ten thousand, elite Blood Saber Guards led by a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen didn't notice their gazes. His eyes were locked on the group of Kun-eaters, and they were shining. 'Three thousand members of the Kun-eating Race? And five hundred of them are from the Royal Family... that means five hundred Emperor Level Primordial Pills! If I devour them all, I can raise at least two or three of my Mystical Techniques to the Tier Seven level!'

The density of his True Essence had already reached the Peak of the Ninth Stage of the Human King Realm.

However, because his Mystical Power had not yet reached Tier Seven, he couldn't step into the Realm of the Human Emperor. If he could raise his Mystical Power, Jiang Chen would also become a Human Emperor Realm expert.

Once he entered the Human Emperor Realm, Jiang Chen's strength would rise to a whole new level.

At that time...

He wouldn't even fear a battle with an expert at the Human Emperor Realm Ninth Stage.

"Boss, Boss..."

Tong Niu's anxious voice rang in his ear.

Jiang Chen snapped back to his senses. Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, he paused for a moment, then chuckled. "Why the long faces? It's just three thousand members of the Kun-eating Race. What's there to be afraid of?"

Tong Niu: "..."

Zhang Kang: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Three thousand? *Just* three thousand?

Damn it!

This was three thousand members of the Kun-eating Race, including five hundred at the Emperor Level!

Even the elites of the Blood Saber Guard would need to deploy nearly ten thousand men to have a chance of wiping them out. And Jiang Chen said it was *just* that?

Zhang Kang shook his head with a bitter smile. 'This guy must be some young master from a big clan who's only ever focused on cultivation. He's never actually fought the Kun-eating Race, so he doesn't know how terrifying they are. Sigh, looks like I'll have to run on my own. I have to get these Profound Weapons back to the City Lord!'

At this thought, Zhang Kang glanced at the few experts behind him. They understood his meaning instantly.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Led by Zhang Kang, they shot into the air and fled toward the distant horizon.

"Fuck, those guys actually ran?"

"They have no loyalty!"

"Should we run too?"

The experts of the First Squad all looked toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Let them run. Our mission was to rescue them anyway. Once they get back to Blood Jade City, our mission will be complete. But now, brothers... are any of you interested in following me to pull off a big score? How about we wipe out this horde of vile Kun-eaters?"

"Centurion, sir, that's three thousand members of the Kun-eating Race. We..." a Blood Saber Guard at the Seventh Stage of the Human King Realm said nervously.

Jiang Chen laughed. "Don't worry. Since I'm choosing to stay, I'm not about to send my brothers to their deaths. Tong Niu, you'll help me deal with the five hundred Emperor Level Kun-eaters later. The rest of you brothers will focus on the King Level ones. After this battle, I want the entire Blood Jade City to know the name of our First Squad!"

"What?"

"Boss, are you crazy?"

"Centurion, sir, please reconsider..."

But Jiang Chen ignored their pleas. His gaze hardened, and a terrifying aura erupted from him as he spoke, enunciating every word. "Brothers, have you forgotten how the Kun-eating Race treats our people? They burn, kill, and plunder—they stop at no evil! Wherever these beasts pass, not a single member of our Human Race is left alive. Just think, if these three thousand Kun-eaters escape, how many more of our people will they kill?"

"But right now, we have a chance. As long as we slaughter them, we can save countless members of our race. More than that, we can become the heroes of Blood Jade City! Don't you want to be heroes? Or do you want to be cowards? If you're content with being cowards, then leave now. I, Jiang Chen, will not stop you!"

After saying this, Jiang Chen fell silent. A long moment passed.

Tong Niu's eyes turned bloodshot as he roared, "They're just a bunch of beasts! Let's fight them to the death!"

"Worst case, we die! What's to be scared of?"

"Kill!"

The eyes of the First Squad's experts turned crimson, filled with a fanatical will to fight.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

At the same time...

The three thousand Kun-eaters had arrived before them. Leading the charge were three Thousand-man Commanders, their power comparable to the Peak of the Seventh Stage of the Human Emperor Realm. The scales on these three Kun-eaters glowed with a faint golden light.

The corners of their mouths curled up, revealing two rows of saw-like teeth as they grinned viciously. "A hundred or so Blood Saber Guards see us and don't even run?"

"Jiejie, looks like they know they can't escape, so they're preparing to fight to the death!"

"Brothers, get them!"

"Tear them to shreds!"

The two thousand-plus King Level Kun-eaters charged out first, with a vanguard of one hundred Emperor Level Kun-eaters following close behind.

They rushed over with ferocious momentum.

Jiang Chen, holding the Spirit-Slaying Sword, roared, "Kill them!"

"Kill!"

The one hundred Blood Saber Guards of the First Squad charged out in unison.

"Star Luo Destruction!"

"Thunder World!"

Jiang Chen himself was like a sword's edge, leading the charge. His Battle Sword cut across the sky, his Divine Thought invincible!

BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

A terrifying storm of destruction blasted through the Kun-eating Race's army, brutally tearing an opening right through their center.

This gave the experts behind Jiang Chen a huge boost in confidence. "Kill!"

"Fight them to the death!"

The two sides instantly clashed.

Jiang Chen looked at Tong Niu. "Old Niu, if you run into an opponent you can't handle, lead them to me!"

"Understood!"

Tong Niu nodded, roared, and unleashed his Ancient Kui Ox Martial Soul. "Ox Demon's Mighty Fist!"

BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The terrifying battle erupted in an instant.

Jiang Chen was unstoppable, like a god or a demon, moving through the enemy ranks as if they weren't there. Wherever he passed, the ordinary Emperor Level Kun-eaters couldn't withstand a single one of his strikes and were all decapitated.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen had already slain over thirty Emperor Level Kun-eaters. Terrifying Sword Qi pulsed from his body, and each strand sent an ordinary Emperor Level Kun-eater to the Yellow Springs.

"That human is so strong! Could he be a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households from the Blood Saber Guard?"

"I don't care who he is. He dared to kill my kin, so I'll tear him to pieces." An Emperor Level Kun-eater covered in golden Scale Armor that radiated a bone-chilling light snorted coldly and charged toward Jiang Chen. It knocked Jiang Chen back with a punch and grinned ferociously. "Brat, do you dare to fight me, Alu Mu?"

Jiang Chen stabilized himself. A frigid glint flashed in his eyes as he replied with an icy expression...

"Why would I fear a fight?"
