Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 588: Chapter 587, Law of Death_1

How could such bizarre things happen? Jiang Chen had already pierced their hearts. By all logic, they should be dead, so why had they come back to life? He couldn’t figure it out; what exactly was going on?

At that moment, eight Wanderers launched an attack on Jiang Chen. Once again, he unleashed the Grand River Sword Intent, and countless Sword Qi penetrated the eight of them; whether it was their viscera or skulls, all were pierced through.

But in the next second, the wounds that had been penetrated instantly fused, as if nothing had happened.

Err... What the hell was going on here? Could it be that they really couldn’t be killed?

The eight Wanderers rushed at Jiang Chen. With various Laws assailing him, Jiang Chen could only perform Instant Step to rapidly dodge.

Fortunately, none of the eight possessed the Instant Step Skill.

This was a Martial Art Jiang Chen had created by combining the Swordsman’s Lone Sky Flash Skill with Lingbo Weibu, similar to a Magician’s teleportation. The only difference was that Magician teleportation involved moving through space, while Instant Step was short-range shuttling, like light, jumping between two different places.

This was the capability of Instant Step; everywhere Jiang Chen had been was within the range of Instant Step’s transfer. The range of Instant Step’s ability was one thousand meters.

"How can this kid be so fast?"

"He inscribed the Grand River Sword Intent onto the Sword Pavilion Stele, but he didn’t inscribe this strange footwork. It’s clear he held something back."

"Damn it, Jiang Chen! Didn’t you say you would teach Martial Arts without holding anything back? Yet you kept this to yourself!"

"He isn’t that foolish."

The Great River Sword Qi was something he was willing to teach, but Instant Step was out of the question. It was a life-saving Skill; how could he impart it so casually!

Besides, even if he taught it, so what? Jiang Chen’s Cultivation Technique amplified it a hundredfold, and the same applied to Instant Step. Even if others were taught, no one could match Jiang Chen’s speed.

Jiang Chen, his face puzzled, asked, "How do you achieve an Immortal Body?"

"Haha... you will never understand."

"Kill!"

"Let’s see how long you can flee. We don’t believe we can’t kill you; there will be a time when your True Qi is exhausted."

"Infinite Kunlun Palm!"

"Buddha Affects the Rivers and Mountains!"

Jiang Chen used Instant Step to leave, and in the next second, he disappeared.

The eight Wanderers looked at each other in confusion.

Where did he go? How could he disappear? How could he be so fast? Forget about pursuing Jiang Chen; we can’t even catch a glimpse of his shadow!

Jiang Chen: Bai Yun, are you there?

Bai Yun: Yes.

Jiang Chen: I’ve encountered some problems.

Bai Yun: Tell me.

Jiang Chen: I just encountered eight Wanderers who have pledged themselves to the Difiled God Continent. For some reason, they have Immortal Bodies. What kind of peculiar ability is this?

Bai Yun: An Immortal Body? It must be the work of Death Queen Delvina.

Jiang Chen: Death Queen Delvina? What is this ability?

Bai Yun: That is her Talent, and also her Law of Death. In fact, they are already dead; it’s just that the Law of Death can grant them rebirth. They just don’t know it themselves. Apart from retaining instinctual intelligence, they now have no heartbeat, no pulse, and no emotions whatsoever. They are no different from the dead.

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Yun’s response.

That’s incredible.

Jiang Chen: How can it be broken?

Bai Yun: There are only two possibilities. First, a divine being who possesses the Law of Death could make them truly die. Second, the Law of Life can also cause their death.

Bai Yun: There are many Laws in the universe, each with its own ability. Yours is Destruction, capable of annihilating all traces of existence.

Bai Yun: Delvina is a Sovereign-level deity. Unless your Realization of the Law of Destruction surpasses hers, you will never be able to eliminate the enemies she creates.

Jiang Chen: I understand now. No wonder the Difiled God Continent was so generous in giving them the power of Laws. There’s a catch.

Bai Yun: Of course. Did you think the gods of the Difiled God Continent are philanthropists, giving away Laws for free? Besides, the Law of Death requires willing acceptance of an Immortal Body. Those eight you mentioned must have been incredibly foolish.

Jiang Chen: It seems they don’t know.

Bai Yun: If you’re in danger, contact me. They have the Law of Death, and here on the Continent of All-Gods, we have the Law of Life, which can make them truly die. Among the Laws, some are opposites and can suppress each other.

Jiang Chen: What does the Law of Life do?

Bai Yun: It’s the one that can resurrect the dead, a Law typically wielded by Priests. It’s not particularly useful otherwise, but it’s the perfect counter to the Law of Death.

Jiang Chen: I see.

He smiled.

The Difiled God Continent isn’t offering charity for free; they’ve set a trap! Since they cannot be killed, I might as well return to the Land of Sin.

There are myriad Laws, each with its unique charm. For example, the Rule of Dream can manifest strength within the Dream Realm. The Law of Destruction destroys everything. The Barrier Law creates powerful defenses and is a protective-type Law. It’s a pity that each person can only have one Law.

Death Queen Delvina? This woman is actually at the Sovereign level. Why does she want to kill me? There doesn’t seem to be any vendetta!

Ancient Sword Spirit and the other seven Wanderers didn’t back down. Knowing Jiang Chen was in the Land of Sin, they chased him there as well. In high spirits, they prepared to enter a restaurant for a meal.

But when they began eating, they suddenly realized something was amiss.

"Why does this dish have no taste?" one of them asked.

"Yeah, it’s completely tasteless!" another exclaimed. "What’s going on? Did they forget to add salt?"

"It’s not just the food that lacks taste; even the wine is flavorless."

"What exactly is happening?"

"Could it be we’ve lost our sense of smell, taste—all our senses?"

"When Jiang Chen attacked me, I felt nothing at all."

The eight Wanderers looked at each other, puzzled.

Damn it. We’ve been had.

At that moment, the eight of them realized the so-called Immortal Body came at a price: aside from maintaining their intellect, they were devoid of any sensations. Even their private parts felt nothing.

Ancient Sword Spirit felt for his own pulse; there was none, nor was there a heartbeat.

He frowned deeply. "I don’t have a heartbeat or a pulse. I can’t even feel my blood flowing."

"Goddess of Death Delvina said she endowed us with Immortal Bodies. Could it be that we only retain our intelligence but have lost all our Perception?"

"So this is what an Immortal Body is. We’ve been deceived!"

"What’s there to fear?" one of them argued. "Even if there’s no taste, so what? We’ll never die! Isn’t that great?"

Ancient Sword Spirit exploded in fury, "Great, my ass! Drinking wine is like drinking water, food has no taste, and even... *that* is gone! What’s the point of living?"

The other seven fell silent.

Does this damned life even have meaning anymore? It seems meaningless. We’re essentially dead men walking.

TAP, TAP, TAP...

Jiang Chen entered the tavern, looked at the eight, and said with a smile, "Ancient Sword Spirit, you’re dead men, yet you’re still drinking?"

Jiang Chen’s words broke the silence. The other Wanderers present turned their gaze toward Ancient Sword Spirit and his companions.
