Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Granny Jinhua roared with rage, "You all deserve to die."

With a wave of her hand, Granny Jinhua charged into the crowd of Heroes, her right hand clutching a silver needle. She released the needle with a flick of her wrist, and it shot into the bodies of the Heroes with incredible speed.

As a Sixth-stage Wanderer, her True Qi was overwhelmingly powerful, and even a Third-stage [Cataclysm] stood no chance against her, let alone Eleanor.

Eleanor's magic was strong, but compared to Granny Jinhua, it paled in comparison.

The True Qi Attack of The Fallen was able to ignore defenses, penetrating even armor.

WHOOSH...

The silver needle swiftly assassinated several [Cataclysm] powerhouses. Watching Eleanor in the sky, Granny Jinhua charged straight at her. Eleanor, seeing her use Sky Jump, turned pale with shock.

Is this a Sixth-stage Descender? How is that possible?

Granny Jinhua acted quickly, with numerous silver needles flying through the air towards Eleanor. Eleanor's Magic shield shattered in an instant, and dozens of silver needles pierced her body. Eleanor teleported in the blink of an eye, escaping with her life.

Granny Jinhua had intended to pursue and kill her, but Li Chanji shook his head and said, "Forget it. She's a Goddess; killing her would bring quite a bit of trouble."

Granny Jinhua gritted her teeth with fury. "That damned Swordsman is undeniably treacherous! I shall certainly take his head."

I came here seeking to uncover any secrets. But in the end, I gained nothing and have been used instead.

Li Chanji pondered to himself. Now we can confirm one thing: that woman has a grudge against the Swordsman, and he wants to use us to kill her. It seems he's not having an easy time within the League of Heroes either.

"Does the Young Master mean to recruit him?"

"Let's go. We'll talk about this matter another time. Now too many people know it was us, the Heavenly Earth Association, who made the move."

"Was that Chen Jinnan who took action just now?"

"Where would such a person exist."

"No, the Heavenly Earth Association indeed has a man named Chen Jinnan. Could this person know the Swordsman?"

Chen Jinnan was completely bewildered.

「...」

Eleanor, having fled, did not see them pursuing her. She tried to get up quickly and leave, but then she realized she couldn't move her body at all. The silver needles had entered her body, controlling every muscle.

It was then that Eleanor knew she had encountered a true expert. To move, she needed to pull out the silver needles, but they were embedded deep in her bones and completely immovable. All she could do was lie on the ground, waiting for a kind soul to come to her rescue.

At this moment, Jiang Chen emerged from the darkness, looking at Eleanor lying on the ground.

Feeling the silver needles inside Eleanor's body controlling every muscle, he finally understood Granny Jinhua's power. Was this the legendary Silver Needle Acupointing? Even though Eleanor was a Goddess, her physical structure was similar to humans, composed of bones and muscles. If the vital acupoints were controlled, the body would be completely immobilized.

Eleanor, seeing the person in black coming closer, immediately recognized that it was Jiang Chen.

Eleanor said in desperation, "Save me."

Save you? You were trying to deal with me, and you expect me to save you? Am I crazy?

Jiang Chen stood still, making no move to help, nor did he have any intention of delivering a killing blow. In his Perception, several Corrupted Heroes were approaching.

To Corrupted Heroes, a Goddess's head is very valuable.

Eleanor, seeing Jiang Chen not moving, became increasingly anxious. "Jiang Chen, I know it's you. If you save me, I will be grateful and will thereafter be yours. How's that?"

"You can do whatever you want."

Trying to tempt me? Am I the kind of person swayed by such temptation?

TAP, TAP, TAP...

Three Corrupted Heroes arrived, eyeing Eleanor lying on the ground, and they also saw the Hero on the other side.

Jiang Chen offered a faint smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just passing through."

Three Corrupted Heroes stepped forward.

One of the Heroes drew his broad blade and glanced at Jiang Chen.

Eleanor's complexion changed drastically. "Jiang Chen, you..."

SLASH...

A knife slash aimed at Eleanor's head, decapitating her. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief that she had died just like that.

The three Corrupted Heroes quickly retreated.

Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. At last, he had resolved the nuisance. Soon, word will spread in the Defiled Camp that the Goddess, Eleanor, was killed by the hands of Corrupted Heroes. This is just like when I killed the Son of God, Gresham.

「Inside Cloud End Bar.」

Jiang Chen was sitting with Lin Yangze.

"Although that woman is dead, you've thoroughly offended the Heavenly Earth Association. To let them take the blame for this is no small matter. Granny Jinhua is no fool; she'll easily guess that you're behind this."

Jiang Chen understood this. Between assassinating Goddess Eleanor and offending the Heavenly Earth Association, dealing with Eleanor was the priority. As long as Eleanor lived, she posed a threat to his family. As for offending the Heavenly Earth Association, Jiang Chen wasn't afraid. He was a Hero of the Continent of All-Gods, which naturally put them at odds. Besides, Jinhua had already attacked him. Clearly, they were already foes.

Jiang Chen asked, "You can't stay at Cloud End Bar any longer, seeing as the proprietress Jin Yunxi belongs to the Heavenly Earth Association. Where do you plan to go?"

"You don't need to worry about that. They're looking for you, not me. All you need to do is settle the bill."

Jiang Chen just wanted to say, *You're my master, aren't you?! Talking about money like this really sours things!*

Lin Yangze continued, "Moreover, if the Heavenly Earth Association sends someone, I will explain things to them and hope to turn enmity into peace."

The world of martial artists isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relations and worldly wisdom. How true.

Jiang Chen nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master. That Granny Jinhua is very strong; she killed Eleanor's subordinates in just a few moves."

"Nonsense. As a six-stage powerhouse, of course, she's formidable. You think The Fallen are weak? At the Ninth-stage, they're equivalent to what you call Demigods. As long as a God does not intervene, The Fallen naturally have ways to cope. If a God does intervene, then there's nothing to be done."

"The Fallen don't have a God?"

Lin Yangze nodded.

Yes, The Fallen don't have a God. Even Ninth-Stage Descenders aren't Gods; they've always been searching for the method to become a God, a method which they haven't found to this day. Becoming a God is not that easy.

Jiang Chen asked, "If a Ninth-Stage Descender were to obtain a God's Seal, could they become a God?"

"No. Some have tried before; Bai Yun tried as well. Possessing a God's Seal doesn't enable one to become a God. The Strengths are not compatible. I know what you're thinking. Whatever you've thought of, they've already tried. Do you think they're foolish?"

"Moreover, I'll tell you, God's Seals exist among The Fallen. That's also the reason for The Fallen's existence—because there's some kind of agreement between The Fallen and the Demigods."

Jiang Chen had a sudden realization. Although Demigods were called gods, they weren't true Gods. They were fakes, lacking a God's Seal.

Lin Yangze continued, "But rest assured, The Fallen won't bring them out unless someone among them becomes a God. Only then will they make an equal exchange."

Jiang Chen's thoughts stirred. "Is there a God's Seal of the Swordsman?"

"That's unclear. However, the Swordsman is the newest profession, and there doesn't seem to be any God's Seal for it yet. But if you continue with the League of Heroes, it's very possible that All Gods will craft a God's Seal for you."

"Craft?"

"Of course. Did you really think God's Seals are naturally occurring? They must be forged by some power, and that's the answer The Fallen have always been searching for. But talking about this now is of no use. You are only at the First-stage. We can talk when you reach the Ninth-stage."

「...」

Jiang Chen returned to the Xileruo World.
