The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1711: Chapter 1711: Hope for Victory

Before making a move, Jing Yan had no confidence that he could kill the Third-Order Great Witch Wu Jiucheng.

It must be said that this surprise assassination required a certain element of luck. If it weren’t for Wu Jiucheng underestimating Jing Yan too much, Jing Yan would have found it very difficult to succeed in one strike.

Of course, Jing Yan’s current attack power is indeed very terrifying. His combat power has grown much stronger than when he first faced off against Wu Mingjue. At that time, Jing Yan had yet to practice the Secret Technique of the Shadow Clan Tribe, Seven Absolute Kills, and the Hongmeng Dao Pattern was only mastered to the First Layer.

In terms of attack power, Jing Yan’s attacks have improved dramatically. Especially with the enhancement of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern, which is terrifyingly overwhelming. This Hongmeng Dao Pattern can only be described as brutal. If one can master the complete Hongmeng Dao Pattern, who knows how frightening it can be. Perhaps just casually unleashing a Dao Pattern could annihilate a whole group of strong practitioners at the Chaotic Supreme Level.

Floating in midair, Jing Yan took a breath and collected all the resources left behind by Wu Jiucheng. The Clan Leader of the Five-star force Wu Clan Tribe must have plenty of resources, and Jing Yan accepts them all gladly.

Jing Yan’s surprise attack on Wu Jiucheng was noticed by many spectators even before Wu Jiucheng’s death. Especially as Wu Jiucheng let out a scream before dying, capturing the attention of nine-tenths of those present. Even some members of the Wu Clan and Shadow Clan Tribe, who were in fierce battle, spared a moment to turn their gaze.

When they saw the Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng of the Wu Clan Tribe being slaughtered, just imagine what their expressions were like.

Each one looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"Wu Jiucheng is dead?"

"The Clan Leader of the Wu Clan Tribe was killed by that Jing Yan?"

"This... this... are my eyes deceiving me?"

"How could Wu Jiucheng be killed by Jing Yan! And seemingly with just one sword strike!"

Many people witnessed the whole process firsthand but still found it hard to believe that Wu Jiucheng was really dead. In the Floating Domain, Wu Jiucheng led the Wu Clan Tribe for countless years. There are definitely many who wanted Wu Jiucheng dead. Yet, over all these years, Wu Jiucheng lived well.

It’s not easy to kill Wu Jiucheng!

The Clan Leader of the Bang Clan Tribe had her beautiful eyes flashing with brilliance. Although she is a Third-Order Great Witch, and watched Jing Yan’s attack on Wu Jiucheng, she still didn’t expect the outcome. While she believed Jing Yan’s surprise attack was very clever, even Wu Jiucheng couldn’t detect it beforehand, she still thought Jing Yan wasn’t a match for Wu Jiucheng.

She never imagined that Wu Jiucheng would be taken down with one sword. Wu Jiucheng wasn’t just recently promoted to the Third-Order Great Witch.

In the Floating Domain, it’s hard to find many Great Witches who dare claim they can defeat Wu Jiucheng.

Members of the Shadow Clan Tribe, in the silence, erupted into cheers.

Originally without much hope, they had embraced a determination to fight to the death. But now, they’ve realized that their Shadow Clan Tribe might be able to win against the odds.

The Clan Leader of the Wu Clan Tribe is dead, leaving only three Great Witches. Whereas their Shadow Clan Tribe has four Great Witches. If they manage to kill another one or two Great Witches, the scales of victory will surely tip toward the Shadow Clan Tribe.

Everyone in the Shadow Clan Tribe is invigorated, fighting with increased intensity.

Ying Huixu and Ying Xiao both stared wide-eyed. They previously worried Jing Yan would be killed by Wu Jiucheng, but never imagined this outcome. Wu Jiucheng didn’t even have time to react before being finished.

Meanwhile, the Wu Clan Tribe seems disoriented. Their symbol, their Clan Leader was taken down. How could the battle continue?

Not just members with relatively lower strength, even their High Priest, as well as Wu Yan and Wu Mingjue, the Supreme Elders of the Wu Clan Tribe, felt their hearts racing.

A sense of panic spread in their hearts.

Jing Yan slightly recovered, then disappeared again into space. Manipulating the Shadowless Wheel, he approached Wu Mingjue. Wu Mingjue was currently engaged in fierce combat with Mo Ku, overwhelmingly suppressing Mo Ku. Without external interference, killing Mo Ku would only be a matter of time. But now, with Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng slain, he had no choice but to be cautious, his attacks on Mo Ku noticeably lessened.

Even Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng fell victim to Jing Yan’s assassination; if Jing Yan targets him, can he withstand it?

A tumultuous wave surged in Wu Mingjue’s heart.

He couldn’t quite comprehend.

Not long ago, he had faced off against Jing Yan. During that clash, though Jing Yan’s combat power was strong, Wu Mingjue didn’t think Jing Yan could single-handedly kill him. But then... why has Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng been killed as well?

He couldn’t make sense of it.

"Die!"

Jing Yan revealed himself near Wu Mingjue, the Sword Screen sweeping towards him. Against Wu Mingjue, Jing Yan didn’t hold back, unleashing the fiercest attack power. He even deployed the Gravity Domain, preventing Wu Mingjue from escaping.

"Boom!" With one strike, Wu Mingjue was blasted away.

Unlike Wu Jiucheng, Wu Mingjue was fully prepared, having activated all means of defense available to him. Thus, though he was sent flying by this strike, he wasn’t killed outright.

Of course, this strike also severely wounded him, causing him to cough up blood repeatedly, his face pale as paper.

"Damn it!"

"Damn you, Jing Yan, cursed to a fate worse than death, you must perish miserably!"

"Hahaha..."

Wu Mingjue was somewhat deranged.

This time, he didn’t plan to run away. With the Clan Leader dead, his mind was wholly fixated on fighting Jing Yan to the end. After barely stabilizing himself, he madly charged at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan was naturally unyielding, the Chaos Sword power exploding ruthlessly once more.

Despite Wu Mingjue’s strength, he endured only two sword strikes from Jing Yan. Had he focused on defense, he might have held out a few more rounds. Yet, consumed by madness, he neglected defense, channeling most of his strength into attacks, inevitably hastening his demise. Under the second strike of the Chaos Sword, he couldn’t withstand it.

Jing Yan extended his arm to gather up all the resources Wu Mingjue left behind.

"Mo Ku, let’s go assist the High Priest in killing Wu Yan." This time, Jing Yan didn’t activate the Shadowless Wheel again, and instead, directly charged towards Wu Yan, who was battling Ying Xiao.

Seeing Jing Yan storming towards him, Wu Yan felt a chill envelop his entire being. He was unlike Wu Mingjue, who sought to fight Jing Yan desperately, while Wu Yan wanted to survive.

Jing Yan first killed their Clan Leader Wu Jiucheng, then deftly and swiftly slaughtered the Second-stage Great Witch Wu Mingjue with two sword strikes. Such might, Wu Yan certainly wouldn’t foolishly believe he could withstand it. Thus, his only hope lay in the Sa Clan Tribe nearby.
