The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: No Other Choice

To watch helplessly as four disciples of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace were killed, how could Xiao Ying not be angry?

His figure, along with a roar of rage, rushed from the Guiding Divine Palace to the void node where Wen Duo was located.

Wen Duo’s eyes shifted, focusing on the furious Xiao Ying who had arrived nearby. He was slightly surprised to see Xiao Ying, but quickly returned to normal. Xiao Ying’s arrival was not completely unexpected.

Before Jing Yan left the Luli Divine Domain, he had certainly given instructions to Xiao Ying. The Martial Artists of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s Guiding Divine Palace must have seen portraits of Jing Yan’s relatives.

”Palace Master Xiao Ying, long time no see!” Wen Duo squinted his eyes with a sinister smile on his face.

”Wen Duo, why did you kill the disciples of my Luo Jiu Divine Palace?” Xiao Ying took a breath, suppressing the fury that was about to explode within him. He glanced at Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue, who were enveloped by Chaos Qi, and then looked at the detestable Wen Duo with a low, harsh voice.

”Haha... Such a trivial matter, is it worth Palace Master Xiao Ying losing such a temper over it?”

”Those few were so disrespectful to me, it was only natural for me to kill them!” Wen Duo couldn’t care less, with a mocking tone.

Xiao Ying’s eyes were filled with burning rage.

However, he was still enduring his anger to the utmost. It wasn’t that he feared Wen Duo, but he was worried about Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue.

Even if he was more furious, he first needed to ensure the safety of Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue.

”Wen Duo, why are you here and not at the Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace?” Xiao Ying furrowed his brows and asked, changing the subject.

”Palace Master Xiao Ying, that is precisely the question I want to ask you. Why are you here?” Wen Duo smirked and countered.

Xiao Ying stared intently at Wen Duo.

He had a feeling that this Wen Duo probably already knew the identity of either Gao Feng or Jing Dongxue. As for why he came here, with a little thought, it was mostly clear.

Wen Duo himself, and even the Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace, should not have any grudges with Jing Yan.

Thus, if Wen Duo came for Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue, the only explanation seems to be the Dead Spirit Mountain. Xiao Ying felt there was a significant possibility that the people from the Dead Spirit Mountain had contacted the Sky Termination Palace, instructing it to act against Jing Yan’s relatives.

Zhongli, that scoundrel, what wouldn’t he do?

”Damn it!”

”What to do now?” Xiao Ying was anxious.

Before coming to the void node, he had not anticipated such an event.

Now, Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue were still absorbing Chaos Qi, and once that process was completed, Wen Duo would undoubtedly make a move. Xiao Ying wasn’t afraid of Wen Duo, but how could Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue resist him?

Although extremely anxious, he could not find a good way to resolve this problem. Now, seeking help would simply be too late. It would take at least several days for others from the Luo Jiu Divine Palace to arrive. By then, it would be too late for everything.

Countless thoughts swiftly flashed through Xiao Ying’s mind. After much deliberation, he realized his only option before Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue finished absorbing the Chaos Qi was to strike against Wen Duo.

At least before the Chaos Qi disappeared, Wen Duo would not dare attack Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue. If the Chaos Qi disappeared, Xiao Ying could not guarantee that Wen Duo would not immediately target Gao Feng and her daughter.

Wen Duo’s strength was not inferior to Xiao Ying’s. If Wen Duo suddenly attacked the two, Xiao Ying had little hope of successfully stopping him.

”Palace Master Wen Duo, these two are family of Jing Yan, the Supreme Elder of my Luo Jiu Divine Palace. I am here to escort them to the Luo Jiu Divine Palace.” After consideration, Xiao Ying revealed the identity of Gao Feng and the others.

”So that’s how it is!” Wen Duo squinted and nodded, continuing, ”However, this won’t do! The ascended natives from a Low-class World have the freedom to choose any of the Four Great Divine Palaces. What you are doing, Palace Master Xiao Ying, is clearly inappropriate! Although they are family members of Elder Jing Yan, it doesn’t change their status as newly ascended natives!”

”Moreover, their Martial Arts talent is excellent, worth nurturing. So, I must apologize to Palace Master Xiao Ying, but these two, I’m afraid my Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace must contest for them.” Wen Duo said with a nonchalant tone.

”Wen Duo, do you truly intend to oppose my Luo Jiu Divine Palace?” Xiao Ying’s voice turned stern, he shouted angrily.

”Haha, Xiao Ying, what audacious words you have. Oppose your Luo Jiu Divine Palace? Are you threatening me?”

”Do you think my Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace fears your Luo Jiu Divine Palace?” Wen Duo’s expression also changed, he replied coldly with a menacing gaze.

”Wen Duo, you must be aware, Jing Yan, the Supreme Elder of my Luo Jiu Divine Palace, is a Main God strong individual participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting. You should not set up such a formidable enemy for the Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace, or you may live to regret it bitterly.” Xiao Ying’s Divine Power surged crazily through his body, but he really did not want to take action here unless absolutely necessary.

”Xiao Ying, do you believe I’m easily frightened?”

”Humph! I know about Jing Yan participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting. But so what? No matter how powerful Jing Yan is, can he be more powerful than the Dead Spirit Mountain? Besides, even without the Dead Spirit Mountain, would my Heavenly Extinction Divine Palace fear mere Jing Yan?”

”Xiao Ying, I will speak plainly. I will certainly take these two women today. If you try to stop me, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Wen Duo sneered.

He had long made up his mind to sever ties with both the Luo Jiu Divine Palace and Jing Yan.

”Boom!” Xiao Ying struck.

He knew that no amount of talking would work now. If he did not act now, once the Chaos Qi disappeared, he wouldn’t be able to ensure Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue’s survival.

As for not stopping Wen Duo, that was even more impossible! How could he watch as Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue were taken away?

If the two were taken, they would surely be sent to the Dead Spirit Mountain. Once Gao Feng and Jing Dongxue reached the Dead Spirit Mountain, what would happen to Jing Yan?

Therefore, Xiao Ying had no other choice; what he could do was to severely injure Wen Duo, or at least drive him away before the Chaos Qi dissipated.

”Let me see how much progress Palace Master Xiao Ying has made over the years!” After a long roar, Wen Duo immediately fought back.

Both were normal Main Gods, nearing the True Origin Main God Level. Among Martial Artists in the normal Main God Realm, the two were top-tier.

Such a battle, to determine victory or defeat, was not an easy task.

But now, Xiao Ying simply did not have much time. The Chaos Qi could disappear at any moment.

He tried to lure Wen Duo away from the node, but Wen Duo would not fall for it. If Xiao Ying retreated, Wen Duo would stop and not pursue.

”Damn it!” Xiao Ying was both anxious and furious.

Between heaven and earth, the surging Divine Power released a terrifying pressure.

Shocking cracks in space constantly appeared near the node. The turbulent Domain Powers, filled with terrible destructive force, ravaged everything within the surrounding space.

The ordinary Void Gods from the Guiding Divine Palace had long retreated hundreds of miles away, staring in horror at the distant battling figures.
