The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2454: Chapter 2454: One Sword, One Kill

This Sword Light of the Chaos Sword, containing the Power of the Ancient Tree Inheritance, even if Wang Jie weren’t affected by the Soul Technique Shadow Soul Kill, he couldn’t completely withstand this sword’s Power unscathed.

The gap in strength between Wang Jie and the Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is still quite significant. After all, the Fire Cloud Immortal Venerable is one of the oldest Immortal Venerables in the Heavenly Domain and also one of the strongest in Faro Heaven.

"Ah!" Wang Jie let out a miserable cry.

The defensive power he wielded was pierced by the Sword Light, causing massive damage to his physical body. This damage further hindered his Divine Power operation and spell casting. In this situation, his defense became even more powerless. As the Defense Light Screen dissipated, Wang Jie was also annihilated by the Sword Light.

With just one sword, the Red-Clothed Killing Star Wang Jie was annihilated.

And Jing Yan’s figure also emerged clearly once again. With the Virtualization Technique and the Ancient Tree Inheritance Defense, although Jing Yan dared not continuously endure the attacks of the Red-Clothed Killing Star, he could completely block them in the short term.

"What?"

"Damn, how is this possible? He... he seems to be unhurt."

"Wang Jie!"

Zhuo Ting and the other four Red-Clothed Killing Stars were shaken to the core, staring in disbelief at the nearly uninjured Jing Yan.

Their attack definitely hit Jing Yan; if he had dodged, they would certainly know. They were not ordinary individuals; they were the Red-Clothed Killing Stars of Yama Palace, strong combatants at the Immortal Venerate Peak Realm. So why did it seem as though Jing Yan’s physical body was entirely unscathed despite having clearly hit him? What was going on?

These Red-Clothed Killing Stars had incredibly rich combat experience; they had faced all sorts of opponents before. But someone like Jing Yan, even they had never encountered such a thing. Could it be that Jing Yan’s physical body strength was already capable of ignoring their attacks?

Zhuo Ting and the others were at a loss.

Their mindset was now completely different from before. Earlier, they thought that killing Jing Yan was merely a casual task, but now, it seemed their attacks could hardly even injure Jing Yan.

Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping’s eyes widened.

Luo Hao gathered Divine Power, preparing to join forces with City Lord Jing Yan to deal with the Red-Clothed Killing Stars, but before he could act, one of the Red-Clothed Killing Stars was already slain by City Lord Jing Yan. Just now, City Lord Jing Yan had been attacked by five Red-Clothed Killing Stars simultaneously; the area collapsed, revealing Chaos, and even he thought City Lord Jing Yan might have been killed by the five Red-Clothed Killing Stars. Yet one breath later, such a transformation occurred.

Further away, the crowd was stunned; they couldn’t comprehend what they were witnessing.

The scene was beyond their understanding. It was one thing that City Lord Jing Yan was unharmed, but what was really going on with him killing a Red-Clothed Killing Star with one sword stroke? Aren’t Red-Clothed Killing Stars supposed to at least be at the Immortal Venerate Peak combat level? How could they be so vulnerable? The crowd was speechless, all their eyes focused on the scene. Some quick-witted ones realized that City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City might possess strength beyond their imagination.

After slaying the Red-Clothed Killing Star Wang Jie, Jing Yan raised his Ice Flame Sword swiftly again, slashing towards another Red-Clothed Killing Star. The Sword Light was dazzling, the sound of the sword reverberated through the sky and earth, containing the terrifying Power of the Sword Screen, once again enveloping the Red-Clothed Killing Star.

As the Sword Light shuttled back and forth, the Soul Technique Shadow Soul Kill followed closely.

"No!" The Red-Clothed Killing Star seemed to sense the breath of death, roaring continuously, his robe fluttering, desperately trying to withstand the oncoming Sword Light, and hoping his colleagues would help him.

The other three Red-Clothed Killing Stars snapped back from their shock and seeing Jing Yan attacking again, they also retaliated. Two performed killing moves on Jing Yan, while one helped the Red-Clothed Killing Star under attack to defend together.

Brilliant halos spread out.

Jing Yan completely ignored the two Red-Clothed Killing Stars attacking him, allowing their attacks to hit his body. He focused on his target, wanting to end this battle quickly and kill a Red-Clothed Killing Star with each sword.

Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique!

The Red-Clothed Killing Star who intended to help his colleague block Jing Yan’s attack suddenly felt the surrounding space becoming stagnant, with heavy pressure squeezing in from all directions. He struggled to mobilize his Divine Power, trying to break free from confinement, but... his movements became very slow. The next moment he realized he couldn’t help his teammate at all.

He watched helplessly as his colleague’s defenses and the power fully unleashed around him were rapidly destroyed by the Sword Light like a death scythe. Along with the Red-Clothed Killing Star, both were obliterated in this space.

So far, only three of the five Red-Clothed Killing Stars remained. And counting from the start of the battle, only a breath or two had passed.

Zhuo Ting and Kang Linyue, for the second time, launched an all-out attack on Jing Yan. This time, they were utterly in despair. If the first attack left them wondering if Jing Yan might have evaded their attack through some special means, the second time they were one hundred percent sure Jing Yan did not dodge. Under their attack, Jing Yan’s body was repelled far away, yet he still seemed unharmed.

Faced with such a monster that couldn’t even be scratched, Zhuo Ting and the other Red-Clothed Killing Stars’ fighting spirit vanished like deflated balloons, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

"Go!" Kang Linyue called out in a low voice.

He knew that if they remained here, all five of them would surely die. At this point, their only option was to escape. They had no previous understanding of Jing Yan’s strength; if they had known Jing Yan was so powerful, they would never have recklessly entered Hongmeng City, nor would they have casually killed Luo Hao and Peng Qiuping within the city.

"Thinking of leaving?"

"My city is not a place where you can come and go as you please." Jing Yan squinted, eyeing the three streams of light darting away.

"Boom!"

The power of the Formation, under Jing Yan’s control, spread out. Dense filament-like light illuminated the sky and earth.

The Power of the Heavenly Gang Yin Yang Reincarnation Array instilled fear in the three surviving Red-Clothed Killing Stars. The power of this new city’s Big Array exceeded their imagination.

"Hurry! Charge out!" Kang Linyue gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

He roared, then made a sudden turn to charge toward Jing Yan. He knew that the three of them couldn’t all escape, so he prepared to block Jing Yan, buying some time for the other two.

"City Lord Jing Yan, do you know what it means to oppose Yama Palace?" Kang Linyue screamed hysterically.

The cultivators and adventurers within the city, hearing Kang Linyue’s voice, felt a shiver down their spines, seeming to sense the despair inside Kang Linyue’s heart.

"Death!" Jing Yan said one word in response to Kang Linyue’s inquiry.
