The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Crush to Burst

Xu Dong’s face was pale, his cheeks somewhat twisted. At that moment, he felt himself to be as insignificant as an ant before an elephant.

Even his Divine Soul was trembling!

And as Xu Dong begged for mercy, those big shots watching on were all stunned, all dumbfounded!

By this time, they had certainly realized that Xu Dong wasn’t just showing off. It wasn’t that he had intentionally flown into the sky. In other words, Xu Dong was completely controlled by Jing Yan.

It seemed that he was bound by the Primordial Energy released by Jing Yan, unable to break free from the binding force around his body.

But how could this be possible? How could Jing Yan possibly have such strong power? Although Xu Dong was not a Martial Artist at the Daoist Master Realm, he was a genuine Peak Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm. Even a general Martial Artist of the Daoist Realm couldn’t achieve this extent, could they?

Dean Guan Yue of Divine Wind Academy was shocked!

The Dean of Red Lotus Academy also showed a horrified expression.

Even Dean Wen Guang of Dao Yi Academy had his eyes narrowed into a straight line.

Those Clan Leaders from the Great Families and the heads of the second-rate forces, at this moment, they couldn’t utter a single word. Before, who among them believed Jing Yan could defeat Xu Dong? They had thought that when Jing Yan could hold on no longer, the Commandery Prince would surely step in to save him. But what was actually happening now was that Xu Dong, in Jing Yan’s hands, was like a mere child, unable to even resist in the least.

”You’ve already had your chance! You brought this on yourself! Impossible to let you go!” Jing Yan shouted in a low voice.

”Spurt!”

Suddenly, Xu Dong, who was bound in mid-air, had his entire body directly crushed by a tremendous force. And that blood that had just sprayed out evaporated into nothingness.

Vice President Xu Dong of the Alchemist Association, dead, with no remains left!

Jing Yan was indeed not a bloodthirsty person, but Xu Dong had insulted him over and over. If Jing Yan remained kind and merciful now, he would be weak.

And Jing Yan killed Xu Dong in such a shocking manner also to deter certain people present. To let them know that he, Jing Yan, was not to be trificked with lightly. Not to think that just because he was a twenty-year-old young Martial Artist, he could be easily manipulated.

Jing Yan wanted to make these people understand that even without relying on the Prince’s dignity, he, Jing Yan, was not someone they could bully at will.

After Jing Yan killed Xu Dong, those onlookers were quiet for quite a while before they could speak.

Indeed, they had been somewhat shocked. Xu Dong was a big shot in Lanqu County City after all, and though his strength was only at the Peak of the Dao Spirit Realm, he was also a fifth-grade Pill Master. Even the Clan Leaders of the Great Families had to give Xu Dong some face. Yet such a famous and formidable Pill Master in Lanqu County City was directly killed by Jing Yan!

At this moment, Liu Wen’s emotions were undoubtedly among the most violently fluctuating.

Just now he had wanted to persuade Jing Yan not to duel Xu Dong, fearing Jing Yan would suffer in Xu Dong’s hands. But Jing Yan had told him that after killing Xu Dong, there would be no one left to compete with him for the position of President of the Alchemist Association. At that time, he didn’t think Jing Yan’s words could become reality, but now, Jing Yan’s words had truly come to pass.

After the death of Xu Dong, there was no one left in the Alchemist Association who could compete with him for the position of President. From this moment on, he could basically be considered the President of the Alchemist Association, commanding the entire organization.

Not to mention others, even Zhou Shangyun and Mu Liantian were somewhat shocked. They believed in Jing Yan’s words, but now witnessing Jing Yan easily crushing Xu Dong to death, they still couldn’t help but feel somewhat shaken.

At this rate of cultivation, Jing Yan might soon become one of the strongest martial artists in Lanqu County City!

”Jing Yan, were you not too ruthless? You are far stronger than Xu Dong, the Pill Master, and defeating him would have been a piece of cake. Why did you have to kill him? Do you realize that by killing Vice President Xu Dong, who was a fifth-level Pill Master, you have caused Lanqu County City to lose an exceptional Pill Master, which is a considerable loss for our Commandery?” Dean Guan Yue of Divine Wind Academy burst out to question Jing Yan.

”Dean Guan Yue, are you deaf?” Jing Yan glanced at Guan Yue with a sneer, ”I have already said, it was a life-and-death duel. Since it’s a life-and-death duel, naturally, it was a fight to the death. If I didn’t kill Xu Dong, was I supposed to wait for him to kill me?”

”You...” Guan Yue’s face darkened.

He had not anticipated that Jing Yan would not even give face to him, the Dean of one of the Three Major Academies.

Seeing that Guan Yue still wanted to speak, Jing Yan let out another cold laugh. Before he had shown up, he had heard some remarks from Guan Yue. This Guan Yue was no good person either.

”What ’you’? If you’re dissatisfied, that can be arranged! My fight with Xu Dong has ended. You can come up, and I will battle with you!” Jing Yan looked at Guan Yue.

”Hiss!”

The words of Jing Yan made everyone present inhale sharply.

Jing Yan had just killed Vice President Xu Dong of the Alchemist Association. Now he wanted to challenge Dean Guan Yue of Divine Wind Academy?

In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned towards Guan Yue.

”Dean Guan Yue, Jing Yan is challenging you!” the Dean of Red Lotus Academy said with a glint in his eye and a smile on his face. His tone indicated relish for the drama, showing no concern for Xu Dong’s life or death, nor the outcome of Guan Yue and Jing Yan’s confrontation. He was, in fact, very eager to watch a battle between Guan Yue and Jing Yan unfold.

Upon hearing the words of the Red Lotus Academy’s Dean, Guan Yue’s eyes narrowed, and he gave the latter a fierce glance.

Guan Yue was not the kind to act rashly out of passion. Seeing Jing Yan kill Xu Dong as if he were sweeping an ant away, he also began to doubt whether Mr. Yin had indeed been slain by Jing Yan. If Jing Yan could even kill Mr. Yin, then perhaps Guan Yue himself might not be a match for Jing Yan.

If he were to go on stage and defeat Jing Yan, that would be one thing, but if he were defeated by Jing Yan, he would lose all his dignity. Of course, he was confident that he could protect himself, but this was a matter of his own reputation.

”Hmph! What status do I hold? A mere student from Dao Yi Academy, a young martial artist in your twenties—do you think you have the right to challenge me?” Guan Yue scoffed.

Upon hearing his words, everyone else laughed softly.

Guan Yue’s words seemed high-sounding, but everyone could tell that his hesitation came from a lack of confidence in defeating Jing Yan, and thus he dared not step onto the stage.

Hearing the laughter around him, Guan Yue’s expression darkened again, and his gaze rapidly swept over Jing Yan with a chilly air.

”If you don’t dare to battle me, then stop the idle chatter! Keep quiet, no one will think you’re mute!” Jing Yan scoffed.

Guan Yue’s face greened with anger, his body shaking all over.

”Prince!” Dean Weng Guang, addressing Commandery Prince Zhou Shangyun with a hand gesture, said, ”I, on behalf of Dao Yi Academy, support your decision to eradicate the Wen Family.”

”Excellent! Dean Wen Guang, I am very grateful for your support.” Zhou Shangyun nodded earnestly at Wen Guang.
