The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2271: Chapter 2271: Yield or Not?

Although Kui Xiang is not a core member of the Bai Family, he has been with them for a long time and possesses considerable strength, holding a high position within the Bai Family. Even some of the Bai Family’s core disciples are very courteous and respectful towards Kui Xiang.

Moreover, among the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivators, he is considered at the top tier throughout Iron Bay. Even Bai Zhu, a Soul Technique Practitioner, finds it difficult to defeat Kui Xiang.

Today, Kui Xiang specifically intercepted Jing Yan before the Martial Storage Tower. In fact, Kui Xiang knows that Jing Yan has already received the Martial Hidden Order, and intercepting him is futile. His main intention is to embarrass Jing Yan.

Many are indeed envious that such a mere Immortal Realm Cultivator, upon arriving at the Bai Family, can attain the Martial Hidden Order.

"Make way!" Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.

"Kid, if you want to enter the Musha Tower, you need to show your strength. Haha, if you don’t have the power, with me here, you’ll never enter the Musha Tower." Kui Xiang shouted loudly.

The crowd that gathered was getting larger and more excited.

Because Jing Yan obtaining the Martial Hidden Order filled the Bai Family with resentment, nearly everyone harbored hostility towards Jing Yan. Seeing Kui Xiang deal with Jing Yan, everyone was naturally pleased. As long as no lives were lost, there wasn’t any major problem.

Moreover, there were elders with high authority standing behind Kui Xiang in the Bai Family. Even if the elders didn’t instruct Kui Xiang to do so, they certainly permitted it.

"You’re courting humiliation," Jing Yan said apathetically.

"Such a bold kid, your tone is quite brazen. Today, I want to see how you will make me, Kui Xiang, court humiliation. Hmph, a mere Immortal Realm, I can crush you into dust with just one slap!" Kui Xiang raised his palm, an intense fighting spirit soaring in his eyes.

Kui Xiang was originally a battle-loving person. On the Bai Family’s Battle Platform, Kui Xiang appears frequently, almost routinely sparring and competing with others. Kui Xiang has even sought a duel with the Immortal Venerable Realm experts of the Bai Family. Although he cannot defeat them, his bravery is commendable.

"It’s about to start!"

"This Jing Yan is really reckless, still wanting to engage with Kui Xiang."

"Although both are in the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm, I bet Jing Yan won’t withstand three moves."

"Three moves? I think he’ll lose in just one. Kui Xiang’s strength is second only to Duke Bai Zhu among the Bai Family’s Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivators."

"There’s a good show to watch!"

"Haha, if he can’t even withstand one move from Kui Xiang, what face does he have to enter the Martial Storage Tower?"

"For the sake of entering the Martial Storage Tower, what’s wrong with being shameless? Even if he loses to Kui Xiang, he’ll definitely insist on entering the Martial Storage Tower."

All the scorching gazes fixated on Jing Yan and Kui Xiang.

...

"I’ve heard that Kui Xiang is blocking the way to the Martial Storage Tower, not letting Jing Yan through." In a secluded courtyard, Uncle Hai was conversing with another elder.

"Hmm." The elder nodded.

"The Martial Hidden Order for Jing Yan was requested by the young lady from the Family Head. Not letting Jing Yan enter the Martial Storage Tower seems inappropriate, doesn’t it?" Uncle Hai squinted his eyes and said.

"That Jing Yan kid has the Martial Hidden Order, sooner or later he’ll enter the Martial Storage Tower. However, the family holds significant grievances about this matter. Letting Kui Xiang teach that kid a lesson could alleviate some of the family’s resentment." The elder remarked.

"You permitted Kui Xiang to do this?" Uncle Hai asked again.

"I indeed did not stop it, it’s a trivial matter, why bother?" The elder chuckled.

This elder was the very same one behind Kui Xiang.

"The young lady might not be pleased, though," Uncle Hai shook his head, saying.

"That Bing Li girl has been quite wilful. The Family Head spoils her excessively, and even you, Brother Hai, dote on the little girl tremendously." The elder sighed lightly.

Uncle Hai didn’t speak further.

"Brother Hai need not worry, Kui Xiang knows his limits, at most, he’ll let that Jing Yan kid lie down for a few days without harming his foundation." The elder said again.

"Hmm." Uncle Hai nodded.

Before the Martial Storage Tower.

"Boom!" Kui Xiang took the first strike.

Jing Yan ignored his shout, steadily moving towards the Martial Storage Tower, forcing Kui Xiang to take action to stop him. Without action, he would witness Jing Yan entering the Martial Storage Tower.

The pounding Divine Power ripples spread out, enveloping Jing Yan in an instant.

"Kid, take my blow!" Kui Xiang roared loudly, his voice like thunder.

As Kui Xiang struck, Jing Yan suddenly shifted his gaze, his lips curving into a smile. Facing Kui Xiang’s attack, Jing Yan appeared unruffled, slowly raising his arm, gently grasping the space ahead.

Kui Xiang was merely an Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivator, posing no threat to Jing Yan. Kui Xiang’s strength might be comparable to Xin Family Patriarch Xin Si or Gong Zhi Buddha from Shadow Tower. Such strength, Jing Yan could already defeat before entering the Yellow Spring Cave.

Now Jing Yan, even beings like Mans, immortal venerable realm experts, can be directly slain by him.

Against Kui Xiang, it was akin to an adult dealing with a child, naturally without any tension.

With Jing Yan’s gentle grasp, Kui Xiang’s attack seemed abruptly confined. The boiling Divine Power ripples swiftly receded, even the Bai Family members watching nearby suddenly felt the Divine Power ripples vanish.

"What’s happening?"

"This... what is going on?"

"It seems like the space is confined—how is this possible, Kui Xiang’s attack is actually confined?"

The spectators, one by one, were dumbfounded, witnessing a scene beyond their understanding. They were familiar with space confinement, but the ability to confine an attack from a powerhouse like Kui Xiang was bewildering.

Just as thoughts were whirling among them, a sharp sound rang out, followed by Kui Xiang’s attack disintegrating within that space.

Moreover, Kui Xiang’s body was propelled backward. He only sensed an overwhelming Power descending, losing control of his body. Despite struggling with all his might, he couldn’t break free, only coming to a clumsy halt several hundred meters away.

Yet, it wasn’t over. On the ground, Kui Xiang still felt an overpowering pressure surrounding his body, preventing him from even lifting an arm. Angry and attempting to rise, his face flushed red, yet he couldn’t even twitch a finger.

Meanwhile, Jing Yan stood calmly, staring at Kui Xiang from dozens of meters away.

"Kui Xiang, do you yield? You’ve now experienced my strength. Can I enter the Martial Storage Tower?" Jing Yan spoke in a detached tone.
