Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 430: Chapter 429, Shifting Time and Space, Hundredfold Payback_1

At this moment, Matilda transformed her body and entered battle mode.

Jiang Chen paid it little mind. His Sword Qi swiftly struck Matilda’s humanoid form. But in the next second, Matilda whipped her hair, and countless strands shot out, rapidly entwining the Sword Qi. The Sword Qi then began to corrode.

Uh... What the hell kind of freakish ability is this? Sword Qi can be corroded?

Just then, a figure rushed over quickly, shattering Arno’s defensive wall with a single punch. Arno was sent flying.

The next second, Angelina made her move. She threw a punch, sending the dark shadow flying back. Angelina didn’t escape unscathed, however, retreating several steps before stabilizing her stance.

Arno was startled. Is this still a Priest? How can her strength be so formidable?

Xia watched Angelina in astonishment. A Priest wielding such terrifying power? Where did they find such a monster! She’s even more freakish than the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen. A Priest with combat ability? I’ve never even considered that.

Angelina furrowed her brows. "This guy is strong."

His power is so terrifying? Jiang Chen wondered.

"Not strength, but True Qi. This person isn’t an Ant Tribe’s Guard but a Wanderer," Jiang Chen explained, his gaze fixed on the monster opposite them.

Wanderer? How did a Wanderer get mixed up with the queen? That’s a pretty unique hobby!

Xia said, "No, he is an Ant Tribe’s Guard. It must be that the Queen devoured a powerful Wanderer, thus spawning this Guard, who possesses the Wanderer’s True Qi." She then warned, "Be careful, this guy is very strong; he broke through my defensive wall instantly."

These so-called guards were, in fact, offspring hatched from eggs laid by the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen after she consumed corpses. This was similar to how a Summoner might create Puppets from the bodies of slain enemies. It was just like the Dark Lord Class: these Puppets retained the abilities their original bodies possessed in life, complete with combat memories. I just don’t know how much of their original combat ability these Puppets retain—eighty percent? Or one hundred percent?

Jiang Chen once again used the All Wan Jian Gui Clan’s technique. While doing so, he condensed his Magic Power, increasing the potency of each Sword Qi strand from an equivalent of five units of magic power to ten. The thirty thousand sword qi transformed into Three Thousand Sword Auras. The number of projectiles decreased tenfold, but their individual Attack Power increased tenfold.

Following Jiang Chen’s will, the Sword Auras charged swiftly. Three Thousand Sword Auras rushed toward the dark figure. He extended a palm, conjuring an energy field that blocked their assault.

Jiang Chen sensed the True Qi surging within the dark figure’s body. It was robust, at least at the level of a six-stage powerhouse, possibly even reaching the terrifying Seventh-stage. A powerhouse of that level could generate an energy field, also known as a Domain. Within such a Domain, the user controlled everything, like an invisible energy field blocking all attacks.

Jiang Chen didn’t understand. If this being was truly a Seventh-stage Master, how could it have been killed by the Sixth-stage Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen? Any Wanderer above Level Six was an expert and not so easily killed.

In fact, Jiang Chen didn’t know how Matilda had managed to kill a Seventh-stage Wanderer. It happened when the Wanderer, already critically injured, stumbled into Matilda’s territory. The Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen then used overwhelming numbers to kill him. After devouring him, she turned him into her guard.

As Jiang Chen clashed with the dark shadow, he felt a sense of familiarity. Those fists are very strong. This is... Undying Golden Body! And the level of this Undying Golden Body is far more terrifying than Iron Fist’s.

The Three Thousand Sword Auras were stopped three feet from the dark figure, unable to advance an inch. He relied entirely on his energy field to block Jiang Chen’s attack.

A slight, sinister smile touched Matilda’s lips. "Such a powerful Hero. I’m going to eat you and make you my guard."

Jiang Chen glanced at the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen. In an instant, he activated [Sword Array] and [Yuan Qi Barrier] modes. His Sword Qi dealt reduced damage to her, and the [Yuan Qi Barrier]’s direct effects seemed negligible. However, Jiang Chen knew its hundredfold gravity field would definitely impact Matilda’s speed. And speed was what Jiang Chen prided himself on.

At this moment, the four of them gathered together.

Xia reminded them, "As long as we kill Queen Matilda, that Wanderer guard will be useless. Once the queen dies, everything she created will also perish."

Xia extended her right hand, her Scepter emitting a dazzling blue light. A blue ball of lightning appeared before her.

SIZZLE! CRACKLE! The entire blue ball of lightning emitted crackling sounds.

This blue ball of lightning moved quickly, rushing towards Queen Matilda. In an instant, Matilda opened her wide mouth and swallowed it whole, even letting out a satisfied burp afterward.

Xia’s expression turned grave. "This creature has devoured many Abnormal Beasts, and the queen’s ability is to replicate their skills. Clearly, she has devoured a Soul-Absorbing Beast, one capable of absorbing energy. It’s capable of absorbing magic of any energy attribute."

Truly a freakish queen, Jiang Chen thought. She can even swallow such vast energy.

"It’s no use; you four will become my sustenance," Matilda declared, quickly lunging towards Jiang Chen. All eight of her tentacles lit up with magic, and eight energy blasts converged, surging towards the four of them.

Jiang Chen stepped forward, sheathing his sword. He extended his right hand.

Xia was shocked. Does this guy really intend to block Matilda’s energy wave head-on? Are you insane!

Arno cried out, "Be careful!"

"No problem," Jiang Chen replied calmly.

The massive energy wave surged into Jiang Chen’s body. At the same moment, he extended his left hand, aiming it at Matilda.

Matilda’s face filled with confusion. How could this man absorb my attack?

In the next second, a powerful energy fluctuation erupted from Jiang Chen’s left hand, a hundred times stronger than Matilda’s energy wave.

Matilda was aghast with terror. Danger. Extremely dangerous! What kind of terrifying Offensive Power is this?

Shifting Time and Space... [Absorbs an energy attack and reflects it at 100x power. Cooldown: 4 seconds.]

Matilda’s energy was strong. However, after Jiang Chen absorbed it, his Shifting Time and Space skill processed the energy and reflected it back a hundredfold, bypassing any energy defenses. Such was the power of Shifting Time and Space. Jiang Chen was utterly confident that Matilda couldn’t withstand his hundredfold counterattack.

And indeed, it was so. A pillar of light erupted from Jiang Chen’s left hand—a hundredfold reflection.

BOOM!

A pillar of light instantly pierced through Matilda’s body. The immense power incinerated her, leaving behind only a burned-out husk. Matilda didn’t even have time to scream before she died by her own attack.

Arno and Xia were completely dumbfounded. What in the hell was that? He can absorb an attack and reflect it back? How is anyone supposed to fight that? Isn’t that practically invincible?

Following Matilda’s death, the Wanderer guard also collapsed, its body crumbling into dry bones.

As Matilda was killed, a "Mission Complete" notification sounded for Arno.

Arno said, "The mission is accomplished."

Angelina commented, "I didn’t expect the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen to be so freakish."

Your man is the truly freakish one; he’s the one who killed the Ant-eating Tribe’s Queen! Arno thought.

Xia felt the same. He’s just too terrifyingly powerful!
