The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: The Last Figure Chapter 280: Chapter 280: The Last Figure Relaxed!

Exhilarating!

Previously, Jing Yan had exhausted the strength of “nine oxen and two tigers” before he finally defeated each of the black humanoids he encountered.

But now, it was a straightforward crushing victory with no suspense!

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

“Hehe, the seventh one has appeared, and its aura seems much stronger than the sixth!”

“Bring it on!”

“Slash!

Slash!

Slash!” the sharp red sword light swept past.

“Oh?

It hasn’t dispersed yet?” After three slashes, Jing Yan saw that the black humanoid was still there and was still fiercely attacking.

“Die!” The fourth sword burst forth.

The seventh black humanoid, annihilated!

To defeat the sixth black humanoid, Jing Yan used three swords, whereas to defeat the seventh, he took a whole four swords!

Next, to defeat the eighth black humanoid, it took him a massive five swords to succeed!

“There should still be two black humanoids waiting behind,” Jing Yan said after defeating the eighth humanoid.

He paused for a moment, gazing ahead while also swallowing a Guiyuan Pill to restore the consumed primordial energy.

Although Jing Yan’s strength now made it easy for him to crush the black humanoids, the consumption of primordial energy was not small.

Even though he hadn’t used the strongest Holy Light Sword Technique yet, the continuous activation of the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique was still incredibly draining.

Jing Yan’s primordial energy was remarkably robust, but he had only just broken through to the Late Innate Realm and hadn’t even had time to stabilize his realm.

In fact, the primordial energy inside Jing Yan’s Fog Vortex was still unstable.

When deploying it, Jing Yan had to deliberately control his energy, failing to achieve a smooth state.

Therefore, he required even more energy when annihilating the black humanoids!

Continuing to move forward!

The ninth black humanoid appeared!

“Hiss!”

“Bang!” The ninth black humanoid’s attack power had reached an extremely alarming level.

Even a standard Innate Peak Realm Martial Artist might be killed with a single blow.

After one exchange, Jing Yan roughly judged the strength of the ninth black humanoid.

Its strength was at least one and a half times greater than the eighth humanoid’s.

To contend with this ninth black humanoid, it would take the combat power of a top-tier Innate Peak Realm Martial Artist.

“Get lost!” The sword light swung by Jing Yan directly flung the black humanoid away.

However, the black humanoid flipped and turned in mid-air, and after flying out about ten meters, it once again lunged towards Jing Yan.

“Such speed!”

“It’s almost the speed of a Dao Spirit Realm practitioner, right?”

“Holy Light Sword Technique!” Jing Yan’s eyes sharpened, and with a slight twitch of his mouth, he unleashed the vast power of the Holy Light Sword Technique towards the ninth black humanoid.

“Be annihilated!” Jing Yan activated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, going all-out.

Seven swords!

It took Jing Yan a full seven swords to finally defeat the ninth black humanoid.

“It’s really tough, isn’t it?

Without exhausting the energy contained within these energy bodies, they simply cannot be killed.

If it were a human martial artist, I might only need three or four swords to slice them down,” Jing Yan shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

Dealing with these black humanoids, compared to human opponents, had its easier and harder aspects.

The easier aspect was that the black humanoids’ attack methods were simple, not as variable as humans’.

But the difficult part was that black humanoids didn’t really sustain injuries unless their energy was exhausted; otherwise, they could maintain a fierce attack indefinitely.

“I need to speed up; there isn’t much time left.” Jing Yan took a deep breath and quickly rushed forward.

In this Heaven Array’s first half, Jing Yan had delayed too much time.

He had spent close to four hours passing through the first half, and breaking through the realm had wasted another hour or so.

If there were more time, then Jing Yan could afford to face the situation more comfortably, but now, there was no time for rest.

The end of the three-hour period was almost upon him.

“Speed up!”

“Speed up again!”

Jing Yan directly activated the Sky Wings, speeding along the tunnel, while also calculating the remaining distance and time.

Although Jing Yan couldn’t be entirely sure the length of this Heaven Array tunnel was the same as the previous Human Formation and Earth Array tunnels, based on the current indications, it seemed very likely.

“Spurt!” As Jing Yan was swiftly moving forward, a wave of energy suddenly emerged, aiming to pierce his chest.

“Swoosh!” With a slight flick to the side, Jing Yan evaded the energy wave.

At this moment, a figure appeared faintly visible ahead.

Jing Yan immediately heightened his senses to the maximum.

“Is this the tenth one?” Jing Yan stared at the faint figure.

The tenth figure was not black but semi-transparent.

In this dim tunnel, it was even harder to detect.

Jing Yan, with his keen senses, could easily spot the opponent.

But for a typical Innate Peak Martial Artist, accurately pinpointing the opponent’s position would certainly be challenging.

“Die!” Jing Yan wasted no time, the Holy Light Sword Technique directly unleashed.

“Boom!”

“What?”

“Damn it!” A slight shock ran through Jing Yan’s mind.

Jing Yan’s Holy Light Sword Technique, his currently strongest offensive measure, only managed to push the tenth figure back by three steps.

“Crack!” After being pushed back three steps, the figure almost instantly launched another move towards Jing Yan.

“Did the attack method change?” Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened.

The previous nine black humanoids all used close-range attacks; they would approach Jing Yan and attack him with their black crescent blades.

However, this tenth semi-transparent figure did not seem to intend to get close, standing from afar and slashing at Jing Yan.

The blade light condensed in space, forming a wave that swept towards Jing Yan.

Red Sword Light swung out, colliding with the blade light, both grinding against each other.

Moments later, the blade light was crushed, and the Red Sword Light continued to strike towards the semi-transparent figure.

“The attack intensity is about the same as the ninth black humanoid!” Jing Yan nodded slightly to himself.

“Saint Light Sword Technique!” Jing Yan continued to release Red Sword Light.

The semi-transparent figure continually endured the bombardment of the Red Sword Light, moving backward continuously.

During this retreat, the semi-transparent figure also launched counterattacks against Jing Yan.

After a brief exchange, Jing Yan was slightly relieved.

This semi-transparent figure was harder to detect, but in terms of attack strength, it was comparable to the ninth black humanoid.

However, the energy contained in this tenth black humanoid was clearly beyond what the ninth could match.

Attacking the ninth black humanoid, a sweep of his sword by Jing Yan could directly send it flying.

But this tenth semi-transparent figure only stepped back a few steps.

The energy contained within them was definitely not on the same level, and to annihilate this last figure would probably require more time.
