The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2361: Chapter 2361: What a Disappointment!

With the personal strength of Elder Kuo Lian and Elder Ming Hua, even if they joined this battle, they wouldn’t be of much help.

Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s side has a total of seven people, and each one’s strength surpasses that of Kuo Lian and Ming Hua, the two elders of the Mystic Moon Trading House. To deal with Immortal Venerable rank experts like Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, Kuo Lian and Ming Hua can only use defensive magic treasures and find it difficult to attack.

Wu Guo Heavenly Lord and a group of people were floating in the far off void, watching the confrontation between the two sides.

If Jing Yan can defeat Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s side this time, then in the future, no one in the Heavenly Domain of Faro Heaven will dare to trouble Jing Yan. In the Heavenly Domain, unless an Immortal Emperor appears, no one can defeat Jing Yan. This is still the case even before Jing Yan obtains the Immortal Venerable Seal, and once he acquires it, his strength will only become more formidable.

"Jing Yan, you brat, this old man will give you one more chance. Now, as long as you hand over the Virtualization Technique Manual and apologize obediently, I can still choose not to pursue the issue of you killing my two disciples. This is your last chance." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s voice said in a heavy tone.

In truth, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable was not confident. If he were absolutely certain, he wouldn’t bother speaking to Jing Yan; he would go straight up and destroy Jing Yan.

The fact that Jing Yan alone wiped out the Slaughter God Hall is truly astonishing.

Although he had several helpers by his side at this moment, he still wasn’t very sure he could kill Jing Yan. What he said to Jing Yan now was not deceitful. If Jing Yan gave him a step down, he really didn’t want to relentlessly pursue and fight Jing Yan to the death. Although Jing Yan killed Min Lan and Si Chi, his two disciples, and he wanted revenge, this would require not risking his own life.

Jing Yan smiled upon hearing this and said, "Old Fire Cloud, at this point, why waste more words? It’s said you have a fiery temper and are extremely protective. I killed your two disciples in the Immortal Venerable Realm, yet you remain hesitant in front of me. Are you scared?"

"You seek death!" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s face turned red.

"Brother Huo Yun, allow me to confront Jing Yan first!" said an elder beside Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, looking at him.

"No!" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable stopped that elder.

"Brother Ma, it’s indeed shameful for the seven of us to join forces against one Jing Yan. But we can’t worry about that now. This Jing Yan can’t be measured by common sense," Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable said with a changeable expression.

"Brother Huo Yun, whatever you say goes; today, we’ll follow your lead," said the elder, his eyes flashing.

"We’ve already discussed that Jing Yan’s two most threatening methods to us are the Emperor Weapon Moon God Bell and the Divine Soul Attack. We’ve prepared ways to counter these methods, but that can only delay them for a while. Therefore, we need swift combat," Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable said thoughtfully.

"Good!" The other few all nodded.

"Jing Yan, you brat, prepare to die!" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable roared again and charged towards Jing Yan first.

As Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable charged, Jing Yan’s Ice Flame Sword emerged, and the Divine Power within him started flowing rapidly.

The six other Immortal Venerables with Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable also moved, following closely behind. Together with Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable, the seven of them became seven streams of light and rushed towards Jing Yan. In the process of approaching Jing Yan, these seven adjusted their flying trajectories, and in a matter of breaths, they formed a surrounding formation around Jing Yan.

The combat experience of these Immortal Venerables was very rich, and by surrounding Jing Yan, they effectively limited Jing Yan’s speed. They all knew that Jing Yan’s mastery of the Void Dao Technique was very high, and he was extremely fast. If Jing Yan were to increase his speed, it would undoubtedly complicate their efforts to encircle and kill him.

Jing Yan, of course, noticed that Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and the others wanted to surround him, but he didn’t care.

When Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable and the other six reached a certain proximity, Jing Yan wielded his sword at one of the Immortal Venerables. A dazzling sword light surged with overwhelming power, shattering the void as it swept towards an elder in a gray robe.

"Here it comes!" The gray-robed elder shouted, his body pausing as he drew a sword magic treasure, and a blue light halo hit the sword light of the Chaos Sword.

After swinging at the gray-robed elder, Jing Yan ignored him and turned his attack to Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.

"Shadow Soul Kill!"

Jing Yan launched the Soul Technique Shadow Soul Kill against Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable.

In the midst of high-speed flight, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s body suddenly froze, as his Divine Soul Body was under attack by the Shadow Soul Kill. Although Shadow Soul Kill is a Low-level Soul Skill, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable still could not entirely evade its assault. He had to collect his wits and carefully fend off the Shadow Soul Kill’s attack.

With a delicate, successive shivering of his Divine Soul Body, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable finally managed to resist the force of the Shadow Soul Kill.

During the attack from the Shadow Soul Kill, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable was actually very tense. Although he had lived countless years and encountered soul technique attacks before, the scarcity of Soul Cultivators in the Heavenly Domain meant that his understanding of soul technique attacks was not very detailed. A lot of his understanding of soul techniques came from some classics or rumors. Being directly attacked by a soul technique now, it was normal for Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable to feel nervous.

By relying on his formidable Divine Soul Body, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable managed to fend off the Shadow Soul Kill’s attack with little effort.

For the vast majority of cultivators, Soul Cultivators are extremely mysterious.

After making a rapid assessment, he believed that, while under Jing Yan’s soul technique attack, he could still maintain seventy to eighty percent of his combat power. With this assessment, Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable finally exhaled in relief.

"Jing Yan, your soul technique attack is just like this! I thought it would be much stronger; truly disappointing!" Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable sneered.

If Jing Yan’s soul technique attack reached only this level, his pressure would be much less. The power of such a soul technique attack, for any Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivator, could be disastrous; even ordinary Immortal Venerables might not withstand it. But Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable was not comparable to ordinary Immortal Venerables.

Upon hearing Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s words, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord and others in the distance showed a look of realization.

Since soul technique attacks are formless and traceless, Wu Guo Heavenly Lord and others found it difficult to probe accurately. They saw Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable’s body suddenly pause, speculating that he might have been attacked by Jing Yan’s soul technique, but they couldn’t be a hundred percent certain. Now that Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable spoke, they confirmed he had indeed been attacked by Jing Yan’s soul technique.

"Fellow old friends, Jing Yan’s soul technique attack isn’t as strong as we imagined." Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable then, with a move of his Divine Thought, informed the six Immortal Venerables who were encircling Jing Yan with him.
