The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Kill! [Third Update]

Clearly, Jing Yan had made his move!

At the trade conference, he had struck at the guards responsible for maintaining order!

The surrounding martial artists were all shocked. They had never imagined that someone would dare to raise a hand against a guard at the Pill Spirit Conference.

Moreover, it was evident that this masked individual was very strong.

The guard who had just stepped forward to apprehend the masked martial artist was at the very least at the Dao Spirit Realm Peak. However, with a casual palm strike from the masked martial artist, the guard was sent reeling backward, clearly far outclassed in strength, likely a figure of the Daoist Master Realm.

Although the martial artists attending the Pill Spirit Conference were all fairly strong, only a very few were at the level of the Daoist Master Realm. Daoist Realm Martial Artists were not common, and their numbers were not high across the entire continent.

Captain Gao Zhao’s face changed instantly.

He had not expected Jing Yan to dare resist arrest. However, shortly after, he sneered to himself. Jing Yan’s resistance meant that even if the elixirs at his stall were all True Pills, Jing Yan was bound to suffer a setback today. Wasn’t attacking the guards practically seeking death?

”You little brat, daring to strike, not even considering where you are!” Gao Zhao’s breath condensed as he roared and violently lunged at Jing Yan.

The surrounding martial artists quickly moved back, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

”Seeking death!” Jing Yan felt the vast power emitted by his opponent enveloping him, seemingly intent on executing him on the spot, and a killing intent immediately surged in his heart.

Gao Zhao indeed intended to kill Jing Yan there and then.

Had Jing Yan not resisted, Gao Zhao might have hesitated to slay him on the spot. Now that Jing Yan had resisted arrest, Gao Zhao could directly kill him without anyone being able to object.

”Bang!” This time, Jing Yan had genuinely unleashed his anger.

Although Gao Zhao was also a Daoist Realm Martial Artist, his Cultivation was only at the Middle Dao Master Realm. When Jing Yan was at the Dao Spirit Realm Peak, he had already slain a Late Daoist Realm martial artist. Now that he had stepped into the Daoist Master Realm, dealing with a Middle Dao Master Realm martial artist was a piece of cake.

After a thunderous noise, Gao Zhao’s figure shot out like a shooting star.

There was no suspense!

In Jing Yan’s hands, Gao Zhao couldn’t even withstand a single palm strike.

”Spurt! Spurt!”

Everyone saw Gao Zhao, in mid-air, spit out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his face deathly pale.

Moments later, Gao Zhao tumbled to the ground like a dead dog. His injuries were severe, and even with High-level Healing Pills, the chances of survival were slim.

Gao Zhao gasped for air, looking at Jing Yan in horror.

He had never imagined Jing Yan’s strength to be so overwhelming. He was, after all, at the Middle Dao Master Realm level, but in front of Jing Yan, he felt like a mere three-year-old child.

He could feel his life force swiftly fading.

”Leng Feng... Pill Master, save me! Save me quickly!” Gao Zhao cried for help from Leng Feng.

Leng Feng certainly had High-level Healing Pills. If taken in time, there was still a chance to save his life.

But at this moment, Leng Feng appeared as if he hadn’t heard his plea for help, staring blankly at Jing Yan.

Leng Feng was a Peak Daoist Martial Artist, but he was clear on one thing: his strength, although greater than Gao Zhao’s, was not sufficient to knock Gao Zhao away so effortlessly. He was a Pill Master, high in realm, but not particularly skilled in combat.

If he were to fight with adventurers of the same realm, there was no need to speculate on the outcome. Adventurers were battle-hardened, while Pill Masters rarely experienced life and death battles, they were incomparable.

Seeing that Gao Zhao was nearly killed by a single palm strike from Jing Yan, Leng Feng knew that Jing Yan’s combat power was definitely above his own.

He was beginning to regret it!

Jing Yan dared to kill a guard, would he care about him, the Chief Pill Master of Jade Building?

”Old fool, die!” Jing Yan looked towards Leng Feng, his body flickered, and he swiftly closed in on Leng Feng.

Compared to Gao Zhao, Jing Yan was even more annoyed with Leng Feng.

”No!” Leng Feng had no intention of fighting Jing Yan. As soon as he saw Jing Yan charging at him, his first instinct was to flee.

He did not want to die!

”Trying to escape?” Jing Yan was even faster.

”Shh!” Without looking back, Leng Feng threw a black object behind him.

This black object instantly transformed into a black shield, gathering light to form a large black barrier that protected Leng Feng behind it.

This thing was likely a Dao Artifact, not one for attack, but for defense.

As an eighth-level Pill Master with considerable wealth, it was normal for Leng Feng to have prepared some life-saving items. Someone afraid of death would definitely find all sorts of ways to equip themselves with various life-saving items.

Jing Yan slammed his palm onto the black shield, and a flash of black light shone from it. Ripple-like fluctuations spread out in all directions around the shield. However, Jing Yan’s strike was completely blocked by the shield.

The defensive capability of this Dao Artifact was indeed exceptional, potentially even a fine piece among Dao Artifacts, likely worth at least tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

”You... stop!”

”Do you realize the enormity of your sin for committing violence during the Pill Spirit Conference?”

”Stop right now!” Seeing his Defensive Tao Artifact blocking Jing Yan’s attack, Leng Feng regained a bit of his composure and started shouting at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan swept a cold glance at Leng Feng, raised his arm, and a blue longsword condensed into existence. Immediately after, a streak of blue Sword Light slashed towards the black shield.

”Boom!”

The black shield instantly sported a huge crack.

Witnessing this scene, Leng Feng’s soul nearly left his body. This was a top-quality Dao Artifact, and even he had gone to great lengths to acquire it.

It was said that this Dao Artifact could withstand multiple attacks from a regular Dao King Realm Martial Artist. But now, how could this masked martial artist put a crack in it with a single sword strike?

How was this possible?

Jing Yan truly had the intent to kill, his continuous attacks unleashed, sending wave after wave of Sword Light slashing out.

”Bang!” The protective barrier formed by the black shield artifact finally collapsed entirely.

By this time, Leng Feng was so terrified that his body went limp, unable to even run.

This was the difference between a Pill Master and an adventurer. If he were an adventurer, he would never be this cowardly. Even if outmatched, he would maintain his composure and confront Jing Yan with all his might.

At this moment, the surrounding martial artists were also completely stunned. Things had escalated!

This masked Elixir-seller’s strength was too formidable, right? The Jade Building’s chief Pill Master, a martial artist at the Dao Spiritual Realm Peak, had no power to fight back against him?

”Stop!”

Just then, a deep voice rang out.

Accompanying it was a surge of thick and terrifying Primordial Energy. Jing Yan’s blue Sword Light, already descending towards Leng Feng’s head, was forcefully blocked by this vast Primordial Energy.

Jing Yan’s gaze shifted to the person who had intervened to stop him.

”Huh?”

The person who had appeared was none other than the white-robed elder presiding over the Alchemy ceremony!
