The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Leave No Survivors Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Leave No Survivors Great Elder Zhao of the Zhao Family, a martial artist at the Innate Peak Realm.

In Donglin City, apart from those few terrifying powerhouses in the Dao Spirit Realm, he was among the very top echelon.

At this moment, faced with the intrusion of a martial artist wearing a black hood into the management office, he did not hurry to make a move; instead, he wanted to first ascertain this man’s identity.

Although the Zhao Family had nearly complete control over Donglin City at present, it was not yet the moment to reap the fruits of victory.

As the Zhao Family Great Elder, he naturally did not wish for a new complication at this critical time.

“Zhao Family’s Market Management Office?”

“Ridiculous!

Pitiful!

This market in the South District clearly belongs to the Jing Family.

Since when has it become a property of the Zhao Family?

I’ve heard that the Zhao Family people are thick-skinned indeed, and it truly lives up to its reputation!” Jing Yan scoffed.

“Sir, since you are unwilling to reveal your identity, I can only offer you a few words of advice.

Donglin City is no longer the same as it used to be.

A smart person like you should be able to distinguish the situation.

Being an enemy of the Zhao Family will definitely lead to your death and dissolution.

I don’t know what benefits the Jing Family has offered you, but if you are willing to assist the Zhao Family, I assure you that the Zhao Family can give you double the revenge you could obtain from the Jing Family,” said Great Elder Zhao, seemingly issuing a final ultimatum, yet it appeared as though he was also enticing.

“What a pity, I am not a wise man.

I am also ill-fated to enjoy the reward from the Zhao Family,” Jing Yan said with a slight smile, shaking his head.

“It seems, sir, that you are determined to be an enemy of the Zhao Family!” The complexion of Great Elder Zhao also turned completely grim.

He did not wish for unexpected complications.

However, if the newcomer was destined to be a threat, then his responsibility was to eliminate this threat in its infancy.

“Attack!” At that moment, Great Elder Zhao became very decisive.

Previously, although Jing Yan had killed many guards of the Zhao Family, if Jing Yan were to change his mind and join the Zhao Family or leave Donglin City, the Great Elder had not intended to fight him.

Because he could vaguely sense that Jing Yan was very strong.

Although the Zhao Family was in an absolutely advantageous position, they could not just rashly make more enemies, especially since he could not ascertain Jing Yan’s true identity.

Hence, he tried to persuade Jing Yan.

But it now seemed that Jing Yan would not change his mind and was determined to be an enemy of the Zhao Family.

Thus, there was only one option left—to kill him.

“Boom!”

Upon receiving the order from the Great Elder, the guards at the management office launched their attack on Jing Yan almost simultaneously.

The Zhao Family had been at the top in Donglin City for hundreds of years, not merely because they had a Dao Spirit Realm martial artist.

The foundation of the Zhao Family was indeed much deeper than that of the Jing Family.

The Zhao Family’s guards were not just stronger by one level compared to the Jing Family’s, but also much more numerous.

“An effort in vain!” Jing Yan sneered from the corner of his mouth, stepping forward decisively.

His whole body’s Primordial Energy surged out like a tidal wave, and its ferocious power charged in all directions.

Although it was just Primordial Energy, with no Martial Arts contained within, that terrifying energy was still enough to crush a person into dust.

“Crash!”

Those dozens of guards, in the same posture, flew backwards.

Fresh blood seeped from each person’s mouth.

Just this one strike had killed half of the guards on the spot.

The rest, although not dead, had completely lost their combat ability.

“What?” Great Elder Zhao was incredibly shocked, his eyes widened.

He had anticipated that Jing Yan’s strength was formidable, but he had not expected it to be so strong.

That vast power, he had only ever felt from the Clan Leader of the Zhao Family, Zhao Dangyuan.

Could it be that this martial artist in a hood was a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse?

And moreover, an ally of the Jing Family?

Impossible!

The Jing Family was already at sunset, not far from destruction.

How could they suddenly have a Dao Spirit Realm ally?

“Who exactly are you?” Great Elder Zhao, somewhat hysterical!

At this moment, he began to panic, unable to calm down any longer.

“Dead men don’t need to know more,” Jing Yan stepped towards Great Elder Zhao.

In his hand, a red light flickered into existence.

The crimson Skyfire Sword appeared in an instant.

“Sir, being an enemy of the Zhao Family is definitely not a wise decision.

Even if you are a Dao Spirit Realm martial artist, you are destined to only have one path to death!” Great Elder Zhao grew increasingly frantic, his robe billowing as Primordial Energy ran wild in an attempt to withstand the terrible pressure coming face to face.

However, his power had retreated step by step before even colliding with the aura emanating from Jing Yan.

“Swoosh!”

Finally, Great Elder Zhao could not withstand the terrifying pressure advancing step by step.

He moved to flee, knowing he was no match for his opponent; powerless to contend, if he did not flee, he would surely die.

“Trying to escape?” Jing Yan let out a cold laugh, and from his hand holding the Skyfire Sword, a red Sword Light burst forth.

The red Sword Light formed a long crimson river in the air, connecting with Great Elder Zhao’s body.

After being swept by the red Sword Light, Great Elder Zhao’s body violently trembled in midair.

In the blink of an eye, his body fell from the air, convulsing continuously as bright red blood spurted from his nose and mouth.

His eyes, with difficulty, turned to look at Jing Yan.

Great Elder Zhao could never have imagined that he would die so soon.

He was one of the few strongest people below the clan leader in the entire Zhao Family.

He might have contemplated facing death in the future, but he never expected to die under such circumstances, not even knowing who killed him!

Life swiftly disappeared from Great Elder Zhao’s body.

With eyes full of unwillingness, he stared fixedly at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan slowly sheathed the Skyfire Sword and looked around the management office at the many corpses and wounded.

He silently activated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, targeting the many still-living Zhao Family guards on the ground, then continuously unleashed bursts of Primordial Energy.

Jing Yan was determined to exterminate everyone present at the location.

If he mercifully spared their lives today, they would kill even more Jing Family disciples tomorrow.

Moments later, within the entire management office, apart from Jing Yan, there was no one else alive.

Jing Yan sighed softly and then left the management office, quickly heading towards the Jing Family Mansion.

Within the Jing Family Mansion, a disturbed emotion was spreading.

Over everyone’s heads hung a gloom that even sunlight could not penetrate.

Inside the Council Hall of the Jing Family, family’s senior members gathered together daily to discuss strategies, seeking any slim chance of survival in the forthcoming storm of bloodshed.
