The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 767: Chapter 767: In a Fit of Rage

Jing Yan released his Divine Soul to sense the entire Prince Mansion. Within just a moment’s breath, he retracted his Divine Soul.

He could confirm that within the East Gate County Prince Mansion, there was only one Martial Artist of the Dao Emperor Realm, Qu Duo.

Now, Jing Yan could almost ascertain that Qu Duo belonged to the Gu Family members. Qu Duo first played the spoiler at the Splendid Dojo, and now he had come to the Gu Family-controlled East Gate County. Qu Duo was clearly playing the role of a Guest Elder in the Gu Family, and moreover, apparently had a deeply rooted relationship with them.

If he could take out Qu Duo by chance this time, then the Gu Family would undoubtedly lose a great combat power.

Although Jing Yan had never crossed hands with Qu Duo, through various signs, he judged that Qu Duo was also a first-class combat power at the peak of the Dao Emperor Realm. His Martial Arts strength should be on par with people like Zheng Sanxiao and Liu Rufeng. Even if he was not as notorious as Tong Yue, the gap wouldn’t be much.

With a thought, Jing Yan’s figure flickered in the space, and with a forceful step, he crossed into the East Gate County Prince Mansion.

Seeing Jing Yan entering the Prince Mansion, Lin Rong suppressed the elation in his heart, his eyes erupting with an intense fiery glow. With a fierce shout, his Primordial Energy circulated out, activating several high-level Arrays both inside and outside the Prince Mansion at once.

High-level Trapping Array, High-level Attack Array, and High-level Defense Array were all present both inside and outside the East Gate County Prince Mansion. After all, it was a city established for thousands of years, and the Prince Mansion had been reinforced countless times. Even if it was not as durable as the Gai Family’s old nest in Flowing Light City, its defensive power ranked first class in the entire Heavenly Origin Continent.

Feeling the power of several Arrays descending upon him, Jing Yan’s eyes flashed as he surveyed his surroundings.

”There are quite a few Arrays,” Jing Yan said calmly.

”Idiot!”

”If you had not entered the Prince Mansion, you might still have a chance to live, but now, you’re doomed!” Lin Rong’s expression was ferocious as he barked.

When Jing Yan entered inside the Prince Mansion and he successfully activated the Arrays, he knew Jing Yan was doomed! And the great achievement of slaying Jing Yan would also fall onto his head. Although the lion’s share would certainly go to Qu Duo, capturing even the ninth share was enough for him.

”You think you can kill me with just that?” Jing Yan said contemptuously, a thread of killing intent in his eyes, emitting a chilling coldness.

Lin Rong’s body trembled, the pressure Jing Yan exerted on him caused an uncontrollable chill in his heart, and he involuntarily took a step back. However, thinking of the protection from multiple Arrays activated inside the Prince Mansion, Jing Yan couldn’t possibly kill him, so he exhaled a breath of relief.

”Hall Master Jing Yan, we meet again!” A black shadow flickered out and stood in front of Lin Rong, it was Qu Duo.

With a mocking smile, Qu Duo looked at Jing Yan teasingly.

”Qu Duo?”

”You were driven out of the Splendid Dojo, and now you’ve arrived at East Gate County so quickly; your speed is indeed not slow!” Jing Yan spoke coldly.

”Jing Yan, don’t you understand yet? You’ve made a fatal mistake! However, this is also within my expectations. You’re too young, yet have such Martial Arts Cultivation, which has made you overly confident in yourself. If it were in the Holy City, indeed I could do nothing to you. Perhaps on the entire Heavenly Origin Continent, only one person could kill you within the Holy City.”

”But, you ran to East Gate County and even entered inside the Prince Mansion. This time, you will pay for your foolishness with your life.” Qu Duo spoke slowly, as if holding Jing Yan’s fate in his grasp.

Yet Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, because Qu Duo’s words clearly held a hidden message. That was, even if he were in the Holy City, Qu Duo believed someone on the Heavenly Origin Continent could still kill him.

Who could that person, whom Qu Duo referred to, be?

Qu Duo had personally witnessed him slay Tong Yue, so the person he referred to must be a Martial Artist stronger than Tong Yue. At least in Qu Duo’s eyes, this person’s Martial Arts Cultivation must be far superior to Tong Yue.

This information made Jing Yan’s heart sink slightly. He did not believe Qu Duo would deceive him at this time, which meant this person must truly exist.

But...

If such a powerful Martial Artist really existed, why had Saint Master Shen Chong never mentioned him? Not just the Saint Master, but other Hall Masters of the Holy Hall also had never mentioned such a figure on the Heavenly Origin Continent. Could it be that they knew nothing of this person?

”Enough! Jing Yan, today is your day to die, accept your fate!” Qu Duo roared lowly, his body’s surging Primordial Energy violently collided out, a black short dagger appearing in his right hand.

”Prince Lin Rong, you control the Array to restrain him, and I will end his life!” As Qu Duo spoke, the short dagger in his hand had already slashed towards Jing Yan.

The sharp Sword Light generated countless fine sword glares, tearing the air as they pressed down on Jing Yan.

”You can count on me, Lord Qu Duo!” Lin Rong controlled several High-level Arrays, with the Attack Array being given the highest priority.

A series of Arrays condensed blue Flames, scorching towards Jing Yan.

The blue Flames burned at an extremely high temperature, and as soon as they appeared, the air burst into fine, intense explosions.

And Jing Yan, too, felt the dreadful heat. These blue Flames posed a deadly danger to ordinary Martial Artists of the Dao Emperor Realm. If their bodies were tainted, even a regular Dao Emperor might get hurt. If they couldn’t break free, they might be burnt to death alive.

With a sweep of his arm, Jing Yan released a dense mass of Primordial Energy.

This mass of Primordial Energy, with a gentle sweep in space, forced many of the blue Flames back. Under the suppression of Primordial Energy, the clusters of blue Flames diminished significantly.

At the same time, the black Sword Light neared. This Sword Light shredded through Jing Yan’s Primordial Energy, enveloping him from above.

The terrifying aura of destruction completely shrouded Jing Yan.

”Hmph, you think you can kill me with such an attack? Qu Duo, you are truly naive!” Jing Yan let out a cold snort, his voice indifferent.

The black Longsword pierced quickly towards the Sword Light, the Sword Light flashing out.

What seemed to be a terrifying Sword Light, upon contact with the Sword Light, disintegrated at a visible speed.

Then Jing Yan’s figure flashed, charging towards Qu Duo. As his figure moved forward, the Arrays’ condensed blue Flames were likewise forced open, appearing as if the Flames were actively clearing a path for Jing Yan.

”How is this possible?”

”How can he be so strong?” Qu Duo’s face changed color.

He didn’t believe the High-level Attack Array could annihilate Jing Yan. He wanted Lin Rong to control the Array to distract Jing Yan, forcing Jing Yan to divide his attention so that Qu Duo would have a chance to slay him. But now it seemed that the Array’s power did not cause much trouble for Jing Yan.

”Lin Rong, what are you doing? Why haven’t you triggered the full power of the Array?”

Seeing Jing Yan getting closer, Qu Duo panicked, his eyes red with anger as he roared at Lin Rong.

Lin Rong was also taken aback; he was already exerting all his strength to control the Array, especially the Attack Array, to the maximum power.
