The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1944: Chapter 1944: Brats of the Void Divine Hall

Zhuo’er’s eyelids twitched violently.

Of course he didn’t dare swear that he had no ill intent toward Jing Yan. In Chaos, the binding force of an oath is terrifying. The stronger a lifeform is, the greater the constraint of an oath.

Oaths are entangled with Fate and karma; though formless, they exist at every moment, affecting every life. And even Ultimate Strong People cannot jump free of Fate and karma!

Inside the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, Zhuo’er led the Devouring Heaven Clan army close to Jing Yan precisely in order to harm Jing Yan.

”Jing Yan, you’re still trying to argue? If I wanted to harm you, would you be standing here unharmed? My Void Divine Hall lost one dead and one seriously injured, all thanks to you, yet you walked out of the fortress without a single scratch. And now you still dare to falsely accuse me of trying to harm you?” Zhuo’er snapped harshly.

He didn’t dare to swear, but he still stubbornly refused to admit he had any intent to harm Jing Yan.

”What an idiot! The reason I came out unscathed is that I’m stronger than you. The reason you were injured in the fortress is that you’re weaker. Besides, I never deliberately attacked you. I was fighting a Golden Body All-Things Realm Devouring Sky Clan, and you refused to move away from the side. How can you blame me if my attacks spread and hit you?” Jing Yan let out a cold laugh.

Outside the fortress, many Controllers were nearby, listening to the confrontation between the two. Most Controllers from the Five Lands and Seven Countries actually didn’t care much about the conflict between Jing Yan and Zhuo’er; even if Zhuo’er had died inside the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, at most they would sigh a few times. However, they did want to know how the high-level figures of the Void Divine Hall and Hongjun Heavenly Palace would handle this matter.

This was a matter concerning the face of the two Ultimate Forces.

The Void Divine Hall definitely wouldn’t let it go, and Hongjun Heavenly Palace absolutely wouldn’t allow Jing Yan to be manipulated by the Void Divine Hall.

That made it very difficult to resolve.

Whichever side compromised would see its prestige damaged.

”Inside the Devouring Sky Clan Fortress, Jing Yan schemed against our Void Divine Palace Void Son. Hongjun Heavenly Palace, you must give us an explanation!” Master Mie Chun spoke.

”The Void Divine Hall still has the face to talk? Your Void Son first ambushed Jing Yan. Is Jing Yan not allowed to fight back? Is Jing Yan supposed to sit there obediently and be schemed against by your Void Son from the Void Divine Hall?” Nuwa Palace Master said coldly.

”It seems Hongjun Heavenly Palace will never hand Jing Yan over for us to deal with.” The Void Divine Hall’s Vice Hall Master Dao Wu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke.

”Heh, Jing Yan is a Heavenly Palace Core Disciple of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. Of course it’s impossible for him to be disposed of by the Void Divine Hall.” Pikang Palace Master said.

”Do it!”

At this moment, Dao Wu’s killing intent burst forth, followed by a thunderous shout.

As his voice rang out, Master Mie Chun of the Void Divine Hall suddenly unleashed terrifying Divine Power. He swung his arm and ferociously slapped toward Jing Yan.

A horrifying light flashed, stirring up countless ripples in the Chaos Void. The edges of those ripples all shimmered with a power that made hearts palpitate. As a Pavilion Master of the Void Divine Hall, Mie Chun was certainly no ordinary Controller. His strength was far more formidable than that of the weaker Controllers.

He suddenly struck, aiming to kill Jing Yan, and his first move was nearly at full power. Very clearly, he wanted to kill Jing Yan in a single blow—or rather, the Void Divine Hall wanted Jing Yan dead. Judging from the decisiveness of his attack, the Controllers of the Void Divine Hall had already discussed beforehand that they would kill Jing Yan.

Mie Chun’s sudden strike at Jing Yan was something no one outside the Void Divine Hall had anticipated. The four Chaos Hall Masters of Hongjun Heavenly Palace likewise hadn’t expected the Void Divine Hall’s Controllers to suddenly make a move here; they had underestimated the determination of the Void Divine Hall to eliminate Jing Yan.

”You cur, how dare you!” After a very brief moment of stunned shock, Pikang Palace Master slid forward in a step, trying to block Mie Chun of the Void Divine Hall.

”Pikang Palace Master, it’s been a long time since we last saw you make a move. I wonder if your strength has improved again!” Another Pavilion Master of the Void Divine Hall intercepted at the same time Pikang Palace Master acted, blocking Pikang Palace Master’s attack toward Mie Chun.

Nuwa Palace Master and the other three Chaos Hall Masters of Hongjun Heavenly Palace also attacked simultaneously with Pikang Palace Master. However, the Void Divine Hall had prepared in advance; three other Pavilion Masters each blocked Nuwa Palace Master and the others on the Hongjun Heavenly Palace side.

”Brats from the Void Divine Hall, you’re courting death!” Chenyuan Emperor roared angrily. His eyes bulged wide, his expression extremely furious. He directly drew a sword-type weapon and erupted with his strongest power, attempting to behead Master Mie Chun.

”Chenyuan Emperor, your strength is indeed extremely great, but... I, Dao Wu, am not someone to be trifled with either!” The Void Divine Hall’s Deputy Hall Master Tao Wu laughed and blocked Chenyuan Emperor’s attack on Mie Chun.

There were six Controllers from the Void Divine Hall present here, and from the current situation it was clear they had prepared long ago.

The four Pavilion Masters blocked the four Hall Masters of Hongjun Heavenly Palace; Vice Hall Master Tao Wu blocked Chenyuan Emperor. The people of the Void Divine Hall all knew Chenyuan Emperor’s attitude toward Jing Yan was special. They understood that Chenyuan Emperor would go all out to protect Jing Yan, so in fact, even before Chenyuan Emperor had made a move, Vice Hall Master Tao Wu had already prepared to intercept him.

Vice Hall Master Tao Wu’s strength might be slightly inferior to Chenyuan Emperor’s, but it was entirely possible for him to hold Chenyuan Emperor off for a short while. After all, he was the Void Divine Hall’s Vice Hall Master.

The Controllers standing on Jing Yan’s side were all intercepted by the Controllers of the Void Divine Hall. Master Mie Chun’s attack on Jing Yan was thus left without interference.

Mie Chun’s lips curled into a ferocious grin, his eyes flashing with an icy killing intent. What he needed to do was kill Jing Yan in the shortest possible time.

There were many Controllers present, but the ones truly willing to take action for Jing Yan were only Chenyuan Emperor and the Chaos Hall Masters of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. As for the other Controllers, some might feel a bit of gratitude toward Jing Yan because he had saved their faction’s core members inside the fortress, but even if they were willing to act for Jing Yan, they would still hesitate and weigh the consequences. They definitely wouldn’t act as decisively as Chenyuan Emperor and the Hall Masters of Hongjun Heavenly Palace.

And what Mie Chun needed was precisely that very short span of time. As long as he killed Jing Yan in an extremely brief moment, everything would cease to be a problem.

Jing Yan’s expression grew solemn as he felt Mie Chun’s attack.

”Old bastard Mie Chun, with just you, you think you can kill me?” Jing Yan suddenly mobilized all the Divine Power in his body.

The Ice Flame Sword slashed out with a sudden stroke.

”You little brat, you still want to resist? With your strength, you think you can block my attack?” Mie Chun let out a cold laugh.

”Mie Chun, you little bastard, if you dare harm Jing Yan, I, Chenyuan, will do nothing else for the rest of my life but hunt you down!” Chenyuan Emperor, after being blocked by Tao Wu, still had strength to spare compared to Tao Wu, so he could still split his focus to speak.

Hearing Chenyuan Emperor’s words, Mie Chun’s body trembled slightly. He truly couldn’t completely ignore Chenyuan Emperor’s threat. If Chenyuan Emperor really spent the rest of his life hunting him, then he’d probably have no choice but to hide in the Void Divine Palace Headquarters and never come out.
