The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Disappeared Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Disappeared In Yuan Jihu’s view, Jing Yan must have hidden his true strength during the brief encounter with the Song Family Patriarch, since his performance that day was nowhere near as formidable as it was today.

He could never have imagined that within this brief half-month period, Jing Yan’s realm had advanced from the early stages of the Dao Spirit Realm to the late stages.

“Boom!

Boom!”

The battle between Jing Yan and Mr.

Yin was fiercely intense.

Every time, Jing Yan got sent flying by a terrible force, spitting blood incessantly, but in a very short time, he would rally again.

Mr.

Yin was also taken aback by this.

He didn’t understand how Jing Yan, though he seemed severely injured, still seemed unaffected in his strength.

After observing for a while, without any clue, he sneered in his heart, thinking, It doesn’t matter what tricks you have, let’s see how long you can last.

“Sky Wings!”

After being struck and sent flying once more, Jing Yan didn’t turn back to fight tooth and nail with Mr.

Yin but instead called upon his movement technique martial arts, fleeing at high speed towards the rear.

Jing Yan’s thoughts raced.

He had calculated very carefully; if the fight continued like this, he would eventually be killed by Mr.

Yin.

The Pure Yang Spirit Body Secret Method was formidable, indeed, but even this Body Refinement Secret Method required a tremendous amount of primordial energy to perform.

Although his internal energy was vigorous, having just broken through to the late stages of the Dao Spirit Realm, his continuous use of the Pure Yang Spirit Body took a toll on him.

Thus, if the current rate of energy consumption persisted, Jing Yan would only be able to hold out for about half an hour at most before he would be killed.

“Thinking of running?”

“Jing Yan, do you think you can escape?” Mr.

Yin saw Jing Yan speeding away and disappearing into the distance, but he wasn’t in the least bit anxious, his eyes squinting slightly, a cold laugh emanating from his mouth.

In an instant, his figure flickered as he pursued Jing Yan.

Yuan Jihu, who observed the battle from afar, saw the two departing and subconsciously wanted to follow to see what would happen.

He could tell that Jing Yan was no match for the Dark Night Assassin; if the fight continued like this, Jing Yan might be killed.

He wanted to offer help, but he couldn’t intervene; even with his top-tier strength within Haofeng City, he couldn’t lend a hand, and if he couldn’t do anything, others were even less capable.

Even the Song Family Patriarch would be of no help in this kind of battle.

“Shick!”

Just as Yuan Jihu thought to follow, he had barely moved when a black Sword Light suddenly appeared.

Yuan Jihu was so startled that his whole body shook, and he quickly unleashed all his primordial energy to barely block the black Sword Light.

Yuan Jihu turned pale as he glanced towards the distant night; he knew that the sword was a warning from the terrifying Dark Night Assassin.

Although the sword’s power was strong, Yuan Jihu understood that if the Dark Night Assassin truly intended to kill him, he wouldn’t possibly withstand a single strike, no matter how he tried.

“Sigh…”

“Forget it!

Since they have left Haofeng City, whatever happens next is none of my concern,” Yuan Jihu shook his head with a sigh.

He was helpless indeed!

As the City Lord of Haofeng City, he couldn’t even stop two martial artists from fighting to the death inside his city.

Fortunately, at this time, Jing Yan had already led the Dark Night Assassin away from the main part of Haofeng City, saving Yuan Jihu from further embarrassment.

“Jing Yan, you can’t escape!” Mr.

Yin pursued Jing Yan closely.

Whenever Jing Yan came within his attack range, he would release a Sword Light to strike at Jing Yan.

And every time, Jing Yan had to exert himself to the fullest to block the attacks.

Thus, the two of them continued on, flying and attacking each other.

After a few hours, they had already left the main city of Haofeng far behind, now over a desolate wilderness.

At this point, Jing Yan’s internal injuries were extremely severe, and the liquid essence qi of the Fog Vortex was already more than half depleted.

Jing Yan now felt a sense of powerlessness when trying to fend off Mr.

Yin’s attacks.

The Pure Yang Spirit Body was indeed formidable, but it couldn’t completely negate the physical harm Mr.

Yin inflicted on his body.

“If this goes on, I might really get killed,” Jing Yan thought frantically, considering various options, but ultimately he realized that none of these methods was of any use against Mr.

Yin.

Compared to a regular martial artist, Jing Yan’s greatest advantage was speed.

Relying on the second-layer Sky Wings Body Technique martial arts, even a Daoist of the Daoist Master Realm would find it difficult to catch up with him.

However, this advantage was completely neutralized by Mr.

Yin.

Mr.

Yin’s movement technique might not match the second-layer Sky Wings, but the gap wasn’t huge, and Mr.

Yin’s superior realm allowed him to fully make up for the inferiority in movement technique martial arts.

Without the Pure Yang Spirit Body, Jing Yan wouldn’t have been able to hold on until now.

“First, hide in the Qian Kun Space!” Senior Tianshui’s voice sounded in Jing Yan’s mind.

Hearing Senior Tianshui’s words, a light flashed in Jing Yan’s eyes, but then his brow furrowed again.

Entering the Qian Kun Space was indeed a solution.

However, the issue was, if Mr.

Yin learned about the Qian Kun Space, and if the news got out…

With his current strength, there was no way Jing Yan could keep the Qian Kun Space safe from those powerhouses.

Once the news leaked, Jing Yan would either have to surrender the Qian Kun Space or be killed first and have it taken from him.

It was because of such concerns that Jing Yan hesitated.

“What are you dawdling for?

If you die now, do you still need to worry about whether the Qian Kun Space will be exposed or not?” Senior Tianshui knew of Jing Yan’s worries as he once again spoke up.

Hearing this from Senior Tianshui, Jing Yan bit the bullet, his thoughts whirring, and in the next moment, he flashed into the Qian Kun Space.

He was aware of his predicament; if he continued to hesitate, he might very well die under Mr.

Yin’s next attack.

Mr.

Yin smirked coldly behind him, his eyes shining with a frightening light.

He could sense Jing Yan’s aura growing weaker and weaker, and he was well aware that when a martial artist’s aura began to fade, their life would soon come to an end.

Too many martial artists had died at his hands, including several from the Daoist Master Realm.

In his life, not every assassination had gone smoothly; sometimes he faced difficulties, much like this attempt to kill Jing Yan, which had not gone as smoothly as expected.

It was precisely because of his extensive experience that he was so sensitive to the fluctuations of a warrior’s energy.

Now Jing Yan’s aura was fading, and it was foreseeable that his next move would be one that Jing Yan could not withstand.

Mr.

Yin surged forward with a dash, once again bringing Jing Yan into his attacking range.

He swung his black Short Sword with ferocity.

This strike was meant to slay Jing Yan.

“Kid, die!

If you won’t join Dark Night, the only path left is death!” A ruthless expression spread across Mr.

Yin’s pale face.

“Huh?

What?” Almost immediately, Mr.

Yin’s eyes shot open in surprise.

Because the very figure of Jing Yan he had been targeting all this time had just vanished within that patch of space!
