The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 422: Chapter 421: No Need to Worry [Sixth Release]

Song Lu shook violently all over!

”No, definitely not a threat!” Song Lu’s aged face twitched violently.

”Enough with the nonsense, I spared you and this piece of trash not because I’m afraid of your Song Family’s retaliation. Now, go back to the Song Family, explain the situation to the Song Family Patriarch, and have him bring Gao Zhan from the Flame Adventure Team here for the exchange. If even a single hair on Gao Zhan’s head is harmed, this trash called Song Ming will lose a finger, got it?” Jing Yan said coldly.

”...” Song Lu’s eyeballs almost popped out.

”Didn’t catch that?” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed and his aura intensified.

”I got it! I got it!” Seeing Jing Yan’s tendency to make another move, Song Lu hurriedly nodded and replied.

”If you’ve got it, then beat it! Do I need to escort you out?” Jing Yan flung Song Ming, who he was holding in his hand.

Looking at Song Ming, Song Lu ultimately dared not say another word. He was very reluctant to go back in such a manner, having come to protect Song Ming, only for the latter to be captured alive while he had to return alone.

One could imagine just how unsightly the Clan Leader’s face would be when he reported the whole story.

After Song Lu left the Flame camp, he saw many martial artists gathered on the streets, which made his expression even more unsightly.

When he and Song Ming had arrived, they were so proud and imperious, as if they feared others wouldn’t know they were looking for trouble with Flame. But the way things turned out was completely unexpected.

Now, leaving the Flame compound disheveled, with brown bloodstains on his clothes, he faced the on-looking martial artists—who were no fools. With a little speculation, they could probably figure out what had happened inside the Flame’s place.

How disgraceful!

Today was like capsizing in a gutter.

Song Lu hung his head and hurriedly left the Flame’s residence.

”What’s going on?”

”What happened? Why does Elder Song Lu look covered in dust, with what seems to be blood on his clothes?”

”When he and Song Ming entered Flame’s territory, it wasn’t like this. By the way, where’s Song Ming? Why is only Elder Song Lu coming out?”

”Could it be that Elder Song Lu has already wiped out Flame? In the midst of fierce battle, was Elder Song Lu injured? But that’s not right; there were no sounds of combat coming from inside!”

The martial artists on the street were all speculating and discussing, none of them knowing what exactly had happened inside Flame’s compound.

Inside the courtyard.

”Team Leader Li Yong, lock this trash up,” Jing Yan said to Li Yong, lifting the pale-faced Song Ming he held in his hand.

The Song Family’s people would certainly take some time to arrive. Jing Yan couldn’t keep hanging on to Song Ming this whole time.

”I’ll do it!” Gao Feng clenched her teeth and said.

Song Ming had been hanging limply since he was caught by Jing Yan, but when he saw Gao Feng approaching with a fierce expression, he suddenly sobered up quite a bit.

He knew Gao Feng loathed him deeply.

If not for the concern over his family, Gao Feng might have already killed him. As he saw himself falling into Gao Feng’s hands, Song Ming felt his heart sink to the bottom.

”What... what are you trying to do?”

”You... you’re not afraid of my father annihilating you? Li Yong! Li Yong, what on earth are you trying to do? Why aren’t you stopping him?” Song Ming wailed in despair.

”Slap!” Jing Yan casually released Song Ming and then backhanded him across the face, sending him flying.

”Shut up! If you keep yelling, I’ll kill you,” Jing Yan’s sinister gaze fixed on Song Ming who landed on the ground.

That slap indeed silenced Song Ming.

Song Ming, despite being spoiled, was not foolish. He knew that if he didn’t cooperate now, he would be the one to suffer. Not to mention that this man called Jing Yan had strength beyond imagination, even Gao Feng and the others could easily crush him.

He also understood the principle that a wise man does not court danger.

Gao Feng walked up to him and with a swift kick, sent Song Ming flying several meters away, causing him to grimace in pain without daring to cry out. He had never suffered such humiliation before in his life.

”Get up!” Gao Feng commanded.

Song Ming flipped over and quickly stood up. He lowered his head, a flash of venom passing through his eyes. He swore that once his father arrived with the family’s powerhouses, he would not leave a single soul alive from the Flame Adventure Team. Yes, not even a mouse.

Gao Feng escorted Song Ming away, leaving first.

”Brother Jing Yan...” Li Yong looked at Jing Yan with awe, his voice slightly stuttering.

He felt that calling him ’Brother Jing Yan’ seemed somewhat inappropriate now, but he also did not know how else to address Jing Yan.

The strength demonstrated by Jing Yan had shocked everyone present. Song Lu had been flung away with a single palm strike, and it seemed as if Jing Yan hadn’t even used his full strength.

Jing Yan’s combat power was probably at least at the Late Innate Stage. According to what Gao Feng had said, Jing Yan was only about twenty years old. Being so young and having such terrifying cultivation, he would be considered a top-tier genius throughout the entire Lanqu County City.

Li Yong and the others might not be very strong, but they had seen the world. They had seen many geniuses from big families, but compared with Jing Yan, those people were leagues apart.

”Team Leader Li Yong,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”I’ll take care of this matter to the end, don’t worry,” Jing Yan said with a smile.

”Brother Jing Yan, the Song Family Patriarch is a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, and the Song Family has dozens of Innate Realm martial artists, and that’s just on the surface. There might even be hidden Dao Spirit Realm warriors in the Song Family. When the Patriarch learns of Song Ming’s plight, he’s likely to be furious and might personally come here.”

Li Yong said, his eyes fixed on Jing Yan.

At this point, he wasn’t very concerned about the Song Family’s retaliation. The die was cast. He didn’t blame Jing Yan either because even if Jing Yan hadn’t appeared, the Song Family wouldn’t have let the Flame Adventure Team off. Flame simply didn’t have five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, nor were they willing to hand over Gao Feng to Song Ming.

With matters at this stage, Li Yong was prepared to go all-in.

By telling Jing Yan these things, he wanted to inform Jing Yan about the Song Family’s energy.

”Brother Jing Yan, if you leave the city now, it might still be in time,” Li Yong paused before adding.

By letting Jing Yan know of the Song Family’s might, he gave Jing Yan the opportunity to leave. They from Flame would certainly not be able to escape, but Jing Yan might still manage to leave Haofeng City in time.

Hearing Li Yong’s words, Jing Yan shook his head.

”Team Leader Li Yong, I told you, you don’t need to worry too much. Even if the Song Family Patriarch comes, it’ll be fine,” Jing Yan reiterated.

Seeing Jing Yan insisted on staying, the others didn’t push any further. Following that, Li Yong and several captains quickly gathered the members of Flame, preparing for a battle with the Song Family.
