Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 598: Chapter 597, Demigods in a Melee_1

Asimio nodded. "Good, I think so too. Let the three of us fight it out, and we’ll see who has the last laugh."

Ada furrowed his brow tightly.

He’s filled with doubts. It seems Asimio doesn’t want us two to grow stronger. No one wants anyone else to obtain the Law of Destruction.

「Meanwhile, in a tavern.」

"Ulysses, you still won’t make a move? Those three have already agreed to a melee. If you join in now, you are certain to gain the Law of Destruction."

"Such a good opportunity, Ulysses, are you going to give it up?"

"I’ve long known that you’ve been secretly watching Asimio and Ada, ready to snatch the power of the Law of Destruction from their bodies."

"Now is the time."

Ulysses, watching the three of them chatting and laughing, chuckled. "What’s the rush? If I go out now, those two would have already fled with their tails between their legs. How would I get a chance? I’ll wait until after their melee, then I’ll strike and kill them to get the power of the Law of Destruction."

"Aren’t you afraid they’ll grow stronger?"

Ulysses laughed heartily. "Grow stronger? How can they grow? The three little guys together barely have two million wisps of the Law of Destruction, while I have ten million, and I can exert eight times the combat strength."

"Killing them is as easy as flipping my hand."

Ulysses licked his lips. This is for the best. Let them hurry up and fight! Let them quickly determine a result. Then I’ll make my move and kill the winner. Why bother killing three people? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time?

"Haha... Ulysses, you really are a cunning old fox!"

"Ulysses, you’re right. This way, you’ve turned three targets into one, making it even easier to deal with."

"There’s another layer to Ulysses’ thinking: he wants to see their combat strength. How much power can they truly unleash?"

"Those three little guys are still discussing, not realizing that while the mantis stalks the cicada, an oriole is waiting behind."

They all understood. This was a case of sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. To defeat an opponent, one needed to clearly see their true strength. Everyone here aspired to become a God; none of them were fools.

「Elsewhere...」

Jiang Chen laughed. "Underworld citizen, Asimio has agreed. What about you? Are you scared? If you’re scared, you can step down first. I can fight Asimio, and it will be the same when I fight you later."

"Let alone you two, I don’t even give Ulysses a second glance."

Ada was so enraged he could have spat blood at being looked down upon like this. "Is that so? Since you’re so eager to die, then I agree as well!"

At this point, all three had agreed to the melee, each eager to seize the Law of Destruction from the others.

「Back in the tavern...」

Ulysses: ?????

What a brat, so arrogant. After you all fight, I’ll make my move and slaughter every one of you. For now, I’ll let you be smug.

"Ulysses, you’re actually being underestimated."

"Haha... that little fellow is quite something."

"Jiang Chen, I’ve heard of him. It’s said that after Bai Yun, he’s the Wanderers’ only Sword God, even comparable to Bai Yun."

"Save it. Bai Yun controls the Sword Principle and possesses the complete God’s Seal. Any Divine would have to give him a wide berth. While not on par with a Lord, he’s second to none beneath them."

"He’s the Lord’s son; who would dare underestimate him?"

"There’s a huge gap between Jiang Chen and Bai Yun right now. One is a Divine, the other is an ant."

Ulysses said coldly, "Wanderers are all a bunch of arrogant fools. Their strength isn’t much, but their mouths are certainly formidable. In a moment, I’ll show you how I deal with him."

「At this moment, Jiang Chen walked towards the battlefield.」

Asimio did likewise, also heading towards the battlefield.

When the three of them stepped onto the arena, the entire field was sealed. Not even a Divine could break this seal—it was Lord Dimitre’s Killing Boundary. Unless a Lord intervened, no one could escape. Only one of the three would leave alive.

Jiang Chen watched the Barrier close and let out a sigh of relief...

Asimio, holding his Great Sword, first manifested Armor upon himself—forged from the Law of Destruction, it enveloped his entire being. His Divine Artifact further amplified the defensive power of the Law.

The Underworld citizen Ada did the same. His first move was to layer his defenses, surrounded by the light of his Seven-color Artifact.

Jiang Chen also entered his defensive state: Infinite Pure Qi. He blended the Law into his Martial Arts, forming a shield of Sword Qi. He was like a Magician wielding a sword.

On the battlefield, no one made the first move; all were wary of one another.

Below the battlefield, the audience was abuzz with discussion.

"Why haven’t the three of them started fighting yet?"

"No one wants to make the first move. None of them fully understand each other’s strength. Whoever moves first will be at a disadvantage, so no one wants to be that person."

"They’re all hoping the others will make the first move, aiming for a situation where their opponents are mutually wounded, allowing them to strike."

"Are they just going to stand there indefinitely?"

"That depends on who loses patience first."

"In any case, whoever takes the initiative now will surely face a joint attack."

Jiang Chen, eyeing the other two, understood their thoughts. They both hope I won’t make a move, waiting for the others to wear each other down.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Since you’re not making a move, then I won’t stand on ceremony."

Jiang Chen circulated his True Qi, summoning his Grand River Sword Intent. Countless tiny swords materialized beside him, forming undulating waves. Faced with this tidal wave of Sword Qi, both his adversaries immediately tensed, preparing themselves.

Then, with a mere thought from Jiang Chen, the wave of swords split into two forces, each surging towards Asimio and the Underworld citizen Ada.

He was attacking two opponents simultaneously!

Both quickly retreated, ready to withstand the overwhelming torrent of Sword Qi.

"This Wanderer is truly arrogant! Attacking two people at once? Does he intend to take them both on alone?"

"Idiot. Whoever moves first is doomed to lose."

"That’s not necessarily true. This person must be confident of victory to make the first move. Perhaps he’s hatching some scheme!"

"Aside from their arrogance, Wanderers are all cunning schemers. Don’t be fooled by their outward appearance."

「On the battlefield...」

Asimio threw a punch. A Destruction Light Beam shot out, instantly disintegrating Jiang Chen’s Grand River Sword Intent. So that’s all it is? He can only exert twice his combat strength. My real opponent is the Underworld citizen. After I kill the Underworld citizen, it won’t be too late to deal with Jiang Chen, he sneered inwardly.

Having gauged Jiang Chen’s strength, Asimio had already decided on his strategy: he was ready to launch a surprise attack on Ada, preparing his killing blow.

Meanwhile, Ada, sensing the force of Jiang Chen’s Grand River Sword Intent, was also dismissive. This seemingly tumultuous Sword Intent actually lacks true power. To put it bluntly, it’s all show and no substance, utterly meaningless.

His attention, however, was fixed on Asimio. Both were warily watching each other.

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself. I’ve made my move, so why aren’t they taking the bait? Isn’t displaying only twice my combat strength enough to make them lower their guard? It seems I need to press them harder.

With a wild laugh, Jiang Chen declared, "Haha! I can already exert twice my combat strength! Neither of you is my match! Die!"

Once more, Jiang Chen unleashed his Grand River Sword Intent, charging at both of them.
