The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Enrage Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Enrage “Chunyang, can Jing Yan really stand against Zhao Zhenyan?”

Lv Yan was also somewhat worried.

She had no direct connection to Jing Yan, and before this, she didn’t even have an impression of him.

But now it was different; if Jing Yan were to die, how would her husband, Huo Chunyang, explain to the Bai Xue City Lord?

Therefore, Lv Yan naturally didn’t want to see Jing Yan die.

“I did my best!” Huo Chunyang looked at Lv Yan with a somewhat helpless gaze.

Yes, he had already tried to dissuade Jing Yan.

But since Jing Yan was determined to go through with it, what could he do?

As the city lord, forcibly stop this duel?

He could directly let Jing Yan skip the selection by the Three Major Academies in Donglin City, but he couldn’t forcibly stop this duel initiated by Jing Yan.

Moreover, the Zhao Family wasn’t so easy to deal with.

The Zhao Family in Lanqu County City also had strong backing.

If he angered Zhao Guiyuan, he, as the city lord, would also face trouble.

“He can only rely on himself.” Huo Chunyang, his gaze shifting back to Jing Yan and Zhao Zhenyan, gently shook his head.

…

“Waste, die!”

Zhao Zhenyan roared fiercely.

Before making a move, he purposefully stimulated his Primordial Energy with intent.

He wanted everyone here to know that he, Zhao Zhenyan, had reached the Late Innate Realm.

To let everyone know that he, Zhao Zhenyan, was the most outstanding talent in Donglin City within a century.

At the same time, he wanted to display his strength in front of Jing Yan, to instill fear in his heart.

“Whoosh!”

A silver Sword Light flashed in front of Zhao Zhenyan.

His weapon, a silver longsword, had intricate patterns moving on its blade, demonstrating strong power.

Clearly, it was a Magic Artifact surpassing Mortal Artifacts.

Seeing Zhao Zhenyan’s Magic Artifact, Jing Yan was not surprised at all.

The Zhao Family, being the first major family in Donglin City.

Zhao Zhenyan, as the son of Family Head Zhao Dangyuan and the designated next Clan Leader, the most outstanding Martial Artist in the Zhao Family for nearly three decades, having a Magic Artifact was normal.

“Buzz!”

After Zhao Zhenyan’s Magic Artifact appeared, a red Sword Light also flickered in front of Jing Yan.

The Skyfire Sword, on its blade, a red Light Halo vibrantly danced.

“Waste, having a Magic Artifact in your hands is truly a waste!” Zhao Zhenyan glared at the Skyfire Sword in Jing Yan’s hands.

He also knew Jing Yan had a Magic Artifact.

Yesterday, after Zhao Yifeng returned to the family, he reported in detail to Clan Leader Zhao Dangyuan about Jing Yan killing Suo Wen.

Knowing this, his son Zhao Zhenyan, of course, also knew.

“Waste, let me take care of your Magic Artifact for you!” Zhao Zhenyan, his figure flashing, carrying the silver Sword Light, suddenly charged towards Jing Yan.

“Sky Pool Sword Technique!” Zhao Zhenyan burst out shouting.

The Sky Pool Sword Technique, a type of Top-grade Martial Arts.

As Zhao Zhenyan shouted, the silver Sword Light in the air condensed into a huge ravine.

Astonishing killing intent swept across the space within a hundred meters.

The silver ravine instantly enveloped Jing Yan’s entire body.

The Sky Pool Sword Technique, this type of Top-grade Martial Arts, had a very astonishing characteristic.

When executed, it could create a powerful suction force, making it hard for the opponent to dodge.

This power was akin to a form of binding.

If the opponent’s power was low, they wouldn’t even be able to break free from the binding force and could only be unwillingly slain with a direct strike.

Even if the opponent was powerful, this Martial Art could still generate some binding power, slowing down the opponent’s movements.

Zhao Zhenyan clearly had a strong grasp of the Sky Pool Sword Technique; as he executed it, Jing Yan clearly felt a binding force invading his entire body.

“Moon Cutting Sword Technique!” Jing Yan also uttered in a low shout.

Though there was some binding force, it wasn’t enough to suppress Jing Yan to the point where he couldn’t execute his Martial Arts.

Primordial Energy stimulated, the red Curved Moon Sword Light swept out.

From an external perspective, the Sword Light condensed by the Moon Cutting Sword Technique obviously couldn’t compare with the Sword Light condensed by the Sky Pool Sword Technique.

After all, one was Upper Grade Martial Arts, and the other was Top-grade Martial Arts; there was a fundamental difference between them.

But the true power of Martial Arts should never be judged solely by appearances.

Although the Moon-Cutting Sword Technique was just upper-grade martial arts, Jing Yan had repaired all its flaws, and its power had substantially increased.

This time, Jing Yan did not use the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique.

Jing Yan had his reasons.

Killing Zhao Zhenyan would definitely not be easy.

If Zhao Zhenyan were as worthless as Suo Wen, Jing Yan could use his strongest attack and kill him immediately.

However, facing Zhao Zhenyan, even if Jing Yan went all out, it would be difficult to kill him in a short time.

Therefore, in the battle against Zhao Zhenyan, he must control the pace.

First, he needed to gauge Zhao Zhenyan’s approximate combat power, and gradually force out all his trump cards, then finally find a way to kill him directly.

Jing Yan wouldn’t be foolish enough to think Zhao Zhenyan hadn’t practiced any secret techniques.

Even Jing Tianlong had practiced the Four Symbols Secret Technique, so Zhao Zhenyan must have practiced it too, perhaps even a more powerful secret technique than that.

Cang Long and others, upon seeing Jing Yan use the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, laughed disdainfully.

An early-stage Innate martial artist facing a late-stage Innate martial artist, using only upper-grade martial arts against top-grade martial arts from a late-stage Innate martial artist—wasn’t that suicide?

“Ha, I thought Jing Yan was strong, but he’s just trash.

Probably can’t even take one move from young master Zhen Yan, right?” Cang Long couldn’t help but speak again.

He seemed to have forgotten that City Lord Huo Chunyang had just told him to shut up.

“Your disciple Suo Wen was killed by Jing Yan!” Qing Mo said indifferently.

Cang Long’s face instantly turned dark.

He called Jing Yan trash, so what did that make his disciple Suo Wen—a trash of trashes?

He glared venomously at Qing Mo but couldn’t refute it.

Cang Long and the others failed to see the subtleties of Jing Yan’s Moon Cutting Sword Technique, but Zhao Family Head Zhao Dangyuan, a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, could discern a glimpse.

Jing Yan’s martial arts might be the upper-grade Moon-Cutting Sword Technique, but Zhao Dangyuan could feel that Jing Yan’s version of the technique was much stronger than others’.

Even if it was refined to perfection, it still wouldn’t compare to what Jing Yan had displayed.

What’s happening?

Had Jing Yan improved the Moon-Cutting Sword Technique?

But how was that possible?

A teenager improving upper-grade martial arts?

Unimaginable!

Zhao Dangyuan, his breath slightly congealing and his mind turning, his gaze grew darker.

This young man must not be spared.

The power of the Moon-Cutting Sword Technique, after colliding with the Sky Pool Sword Technique, became evident.

What seemed like the immensely powerful Sky Pool Sword Technique, couldn’t overwhelm the sword light of the Moon-Cutting Sword Technique.

The two forces tugged and collided and ultimately, they both vanished within the space.

This scene, left many Innate Realm martial artists somewhat stunned.

They couldn’t understand why this was happening; it defied logic.

Zhao Zhenyan’s face also slightly changed.

He realized that Jing Yan’s strength might be much stronger than he had anticipated.

Being in battle with Jing Yan, he could naturally sense the power imbued in Jing Yan’s martial arts which seemed no less than top-grade martial arts.

“Zhao Zhenyan, it seems killing me won’t be so easy for you!

You call me trash, but you can’t even kill a piece of trash like me, so aren’t you just trash yourself?

Hehe, you are much older than me; it seems you are even worse than trash,” Jing Yan said, laughing.

He was deliberately provoking Zhao Zhenyan.

Only by thoroughly infuriating Zhao Zhenyan would Zhao Zhenyan be more eager to kill him immediately, thus he would certainly use his real trump card.

Sure enough, after hearing Jing Yan’s words, Zhao Zhenyan became uncontrollably furious, his eyes almost shooting flames.

He was more than twenty years older than Jing Yan, yet unable to kill a martial artist who had been cultivating for twenty fewer years—this was utterly humiliating.

“You’re seeking death!” Zhao Zhenyan roared furiously, his expression distorted and his face terrifying.

A faint golden glow suddenly appeared around his body.

Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed; he knew Zhao Zhenyan was using a secret technique.

From the previous exchanges, Jing Yan could gauge that Zhao Zhenyan’s primordial energy was slightly weaker than that of Wei Family Elder Wei Zhenzhi, whom he had killed.

Zhao Zhenyan had just advanced to the Late Innate Realm, so it was normal for his primordial energy not to match Wei Zhenzhi’s, who had been in the Late Innate Realm for years.

However, Zhao Zhenyan’s talent was clearly superior, and his mastery in martial arts was more refined.

Along with a stronger secret technique, it could be said that Zhao Zhenyan’s combat power was indeed greater than Wei Zhenzhi’s.

In a direct confrontation, Jing Yan would surely be at a disadvantage, being two realms lower; he was prepared for this.

“Boom!”

This time, Zhao Zhenyan nearly pushed his primordial energy within the Fog Vortex to its limit.

Previously, he had only used about seventy percent of his power, but this time, it was a full one hundred percent.

The Sky Pool Sword Technique, condensing silver sword light, appeared again.

This time, the sword light, carrying more power than before, faintly displayed strands of gold.

This gold must be the secret technique employed by Zhao Zhenyan.

“It’s the Golden Buddha Baptism!” Jing Chengye exclaimed with alarm.

Zhao Zhenyan had actually cultivated the Golden Buddha Baptism secret technique.

This secret technique, in terms of its value, was far beyond comparison with the Four Symbols Secret Technique.

The Golden Buddha Baptism was worth at least several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, more valuable than ordinary magic artifacts and even harder to acquire.

The Four Symbols Secret Technique was a type of technique that enhanced one’s own strength, whereas the Golden Buddha Baptism was a technique that directly enhanced the power of sword technique attacks.

If cultivated to perfection, it could directly enhance the power of top-grade martial arts sword techniques by threefold.

The silver sword light, carrying a terrifying killing intent, bore down on Jing Yan.

The surrounding space seemed as if it was about to be torn apart, the astounding power felt even by the distant onlookers.
