The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 616: Chapter 616: Elder Yin’s Terror

To Gu Xinghe, Jing Yan was considered a dead man from the moment he entered the Ancient Cave Mansion.

”Young Master Gu, what do you mean by this?”

”What exactly is the Qiankun Ring you’re talking about? If I had it, why would I deny it?” Jing Yan feigned anger.

Jing Yan had unsealed the Qiankun Ring and knew quite a bit about it.

According to Senior Tianshui, Jing Yan was the first to unseal the Qiankun Ring after him.

Thus, although people like Gu Xinghe knew of the Qiankun Ring’s existence, they probably didn’t understand much about it.

With that in mind, he naturally wouldn’t admit to possessing the Qiankun Ring.

”Young master, don’t waste time talking to him. Once I kill him, if the ring is on his body, we will naturally find it on his corpse.” Elder Yin’s presence was overwhelming, filled with killing intent as if he was ready to strike Jing Yan down at any moment.

”Elder Yin, do not act recklessly.”

”I am a Guest Elder of Pill Country, and if you kill me, Hu Donghe, the Great Alchemist King, will definitely not be pleased. Even the Gu Family probably doesn’t want to make an enemy of Hu Donghe, the Great Alchemist King, right?” Jing Yan said with furrowed brows.

Elder Yin gave Jing Yan a very dangerous feeling.

Members of Dark Night, an assassination organization, were very adept at assassination. And Elder Yin, as the head of the Dark Night Organization on the Heavenly Origin Continent, must have some special techniques.

Unless absolutely necessary, Jing Yan truly did not want to fall out with this Elder Yin.

Even with many Micro Arrays on his person, Jing Yan had no confidence at all.

Moreover, another important reason was that Gu Xinghe was Gu Family’s candidate Patriarch. What would happen to the Gu Family if Gu Xinghe were to die?

It was obvious, even to the toes, that the Gu Family would not let Jing Yan go.

By then, not even Hu Donghe himself might be able to protect him.

”Hu Donghe?”

”Jing Yan, you’re right, that old fellow is indeed troublesome. Even my Gu Family doesn’t wish to be his enemy. However, if you die inside the Ancient Cave Mansion, who would know it was us who killed you? We could say the Ancient Cave Mansion is very dangerous and you just had bad luck and died because you encountered a danger.”

”For instance, the puppet in that treasure room. If you die at the hands of the puppet, Hu Donghe would have to seek vengeance from the puppet,” Gu Xinghe said with a smug smile.

”Jing Yan, I am giving you one more chance, hand over the Qiankun Ring and I can spare your life. This is your last chance to live.” Gu Xinghe’s voice suddenly turned stern.

Gu Xinghe was not certain that Jing Yan had the Qiankun Ring, and even if Jing Yan did have it, it wasn’t a hundred percent certain he carried it on his person.

He could kill Jing Yan.

But if Jing Yan did not have the Qiankun Ring on him, wouldn’t that be a foolish move?

If not for this concern, he would have acted long ago, why would he idle away talking?

”Young Master Gu, like I said, I truly do not have the Qiankun Ring you speak of. If you insist that I do, then there’s nothing I can do.” Jing Yan’s face also turned dark.

Gu Xinghe was right.

If he died, Gu Xinghe and the others could simply claim he died at the hands of the puppet.

Even if Hu Donghe wanted to investigate, it would be very difficult to get started here. If he himself died, only Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin would know the truth. Would these two ever reveal the real cause of Jing Yan’s death?

”It seems you really won’t drink a toast and must drink a penalty instead!” Gu Xinghe swung out his arm!

He had lost his patience. Regardless of whether Jing Yan had the Qiankun Ring or not, killing him first was the priority.

”Boom!” Elder Yin, who had been ready for a while, made a flickering move with his body carrying terrible power rushing towards Jing Yan after receiving a signal from Gu Xinghe.

”Hiss hiss!”

Jing Yan had been prepared too, seeing Elder Yin lunging to kill, Jing Yan wasn’t flustered.

The Holy Light Sword Technique was executed instantly, slashing towards Elder Yin. At the same time as releasing the Sword Light, Jing Yan used the Sky Wings Body Technique, retreating hundreds of meters away in an instant.

Elder Yin gave Jing Yan an extreme sense of danger, so he dare not be the least bit careless. The moment he made a move, it was with all his might, fully activating his Primordial Energy.

Of course, Jing Yan couldn’t assume that his single strike could pose a significant threat to Elder Yin. So, after sweeping out the Sword Light, he dodged to a place hundreds of meters away, giving himself a brief chance to catch his breath.

”Boy, you still dare to resist before this old man!” Elder Yin’s aura expanded, his entire body enveloped in a sphere of black light.

Seeing the Sword Light unleashed by Jing Yan, he didn’t dodge, but charged straight into it.

”Boom! Boom!”

Elder Yin kept swinging his fists, crashing them hard into the blue Sword Light.

Each time he punched, a streak of Sword Light collapsed and dissipated. In just a few breaths, the Sword Light formed by Jing Yan’s Holy Light Sword Technique scattered like smoke.

”This old man is terrifying?” Jing Yan watched Elder Yin’s actions in surprise.

Up to this point, Elder Yin had not used any Martial Arts. Meaning, he was only relying on his own Primordial Energy to shatter Jing Yan’s Holy Light Sword Technique.

”He’s wearing something on his hands!” Jing Yan noticed that there was a faint white Light Halo flowing around Elder Yin’s hands.

It must be a pair of gloves.

If you didn’t pay attention, you couldn’t even notice them.

The reason Elder Yin dared to clash with Jing Yan’s Sword Light with his fists was probably relying on the gloves. Otherwise, it would be too preposterous to collide with Sword Light with his Physical Body.

”Elder Yin, finish him quickly!” Gu Xinghe commanded from behind.

”Alright!” Elder Yin responded, rushing toward Jing Yan once more.

”Whoosh!”

In the blink of an eye, Elder Yin arrived near Jing Yan.

”Such terrifying speed, if this old fellow were to perform an assassination, it would indeed be hard to guard against!” Jing Yan thought to himself, his Dao Artifact Longsword continuously emitting streaks of blue Sword Light.

”Void Flame Secret Method!”

”Flash Spirit Secret Technique!”

Activating the Secret Techniques, a flurry of Sword Light enveloped Elder Yin.

”Kid, your strength is not bad at all. It’s even stronger than I had imagined. It seems like you do have the Combat Power of a Daoist King Realm. To have such strength at your age is really surprising. But in front of me, you’re still far from enough. I advise you not to resist, for today you’re doomed!” Elder Yin’s voice, submerged in blue Sword Light, sounded very calm.

It seemed as if Jing Yan’s attacks posed no threat to him whatsoever.

”Bang!”

”Thunderous rumble!” An earth-shaking sound emerged from where Elder Yin was.

Jing Yan also watched that spot nervously. After a moment, Elder Yin’s figure was revealed, with all the blue Sword Light vanished.

”Good Attack Power, but it’s not enough to overcome me! Now, it’s my turn to attack!” Elder Yin sneered.

”Whir!”

On Elder Yin’s arms, black chains suddenly spread. Of course, these chains were not physical, but formed by the condensation of Primordial Energy. It was apparent this was a kind of ferocious Martial Arts.
