The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2573: Chapter 2573: Kill One First

The Hunters are not in a hurry to kill their prey; they want to feel the despair of their quarry.

"Get moving! That damned soul cultivator from Hongmeng City should be catching up soon. Truly an unshakable pest!" Chen Feng remarked.

"Haha...You pathetic ants, all of you shall die!" Zhao Yijun hovered above the city, his chilling voice enveloping the entire area.

Inside the city, it was filled with despair, wailing, and numerous people praying for survival.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a strange energy appeared between heaven and earth. This energy was quite subtle, but Chen Feng and the three black-clothed Killing Stars were not ordinary Immortal Venerable Peak beings; they sensed the unusual energy change almost instantly.

They simultaneously turned their heads, looking toward the strange spot.

Upon this glance, their expressions changed drastically. They saw Hongmeng City’s City Lord, Jing Yan, clad in a black robe.

"Jing Yan?" Chen Feng focused his gaze, looking coldly at Jing Yan.

The three black-clothed Killing Stars hadn’t seen Jing Yan in person before, but they had seen relevant images and could naturally recognize the cultivator who suddenly appeared before them as the City Lord of Hongmeng City, Jing Yan, the powerful Immortal Venerable who made Hou Yang Immortal Venerable flee in panic.

Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, fixing on the three black-clothed Killing Stars opposite him, Divine Soul Power was rapidly gathering.

"Jing Yan, you finally dare to show yourself! Where are your subordinates? That soul cultivator with a group of High-level Thunder Warriors!" Zhao Yijun spoke insidiously, assuming Xu Yiming and the High-level Thunder Warriors were nearby.

"That’s City Lord Jing Yan!"

"City Lord has come to save us!"

"City Lord...Our Hongmeng City’s City Lord! Heaven has eyes, the City Lord has come personally to deal with these three demons!"

Inside the city, countless cultivators looked at the few figures in the sky, some recognizing Jing Yan opposite the black-clothed Killing Stars. Although this city was a small city, it had one or two million cultivators.

"You dare to come into the depths of the Thunder Domain, perish here then!" Jing Yan said indifferently.

"Haha, you brat, what big words you have, just you, think you can keep the three of us here?" Zhao Yijun sneered, the fighting spirit in his eyes intensified, his entire body’s divine power rapidly boiling up. He longed to spar with Jing Yan.

Outside, everyone said City Lord Jing Yan’s power was terrifying, invincible below an Immortal Emperor. Zhao Yijun wasn’t convinced, he wanted to see for himself how strong this City Lord Jing Yan truly was.

Chen Feng remained more composed, feeling Jing Yan’s sudden appearance here was unusual. Moreover, he didn’t know how Jing Yan arrived; when he discovered Jing Yan, he was already standing not far in the back. Jing Yan gave him a feeling of unfathomable depths.

"Be ready to use the Immortal Road Time-Space Shuttle to leave anytime!" Chen Feng transmitted to Zhao Yijun and Zhang Motie.

While Chen Feng was transmitting, Jing Yan’s Ice Flame Sword condensed and stabbed toward Zhao Yijun.

Initially, the Sword Light’s might wasn’t strong, but as the Sword Light approached Zhao Yijun, its attack power increased at an astonishing speed. Jing Yan, at the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm and immersed for over twenty thousand years on the Chaos Sword, elevated its power to a terrifying level.

Chen Feng wanted to activate the Immortal Road Time-Space Shuttle, but Zhao Yijun had already launched himself towards Jing Yan’s Sword Light. After a shout of anger, he took out his magic treasure to fend off the Sword Light.

After the loud impact, Zhao Yijun remained unharmed; though he looked a bit wretched, he wasn’t injured.

"You little thing, you’re nothing special after all! Rumors are indeed unreliable; I really thought you were much stronger!" Zhao Yijun blocked Jing Yan’s sword, he spoke boldly.

In reality, Jing Yan’s sword purely relied on the Chaos Sword’s power, without integrating spells like Ancient Tree Inheritance. Yet, even this sword made Zhao Yijun slightly struggle to block.

Jing Yan’s eyes flickered.

"Clear Wave Cavern!" High-level Soul Technique Clear Wave Cavern, blasted toward Zhao Yijun.

Then, the Chaos Sword with Thunder Light Shining was activated once more. This time, not only was the power of Thunder Light Shining present, but also the strength of Ancient Tree Inheritance merged.

This sword seemed more subdued than the previous, yet the purple Thunder Light on the sword’s surface made dealing with it cautiously unavoidable.

Having experienced once, Zhao Yijun was more confident in blocking Jing Yan’s attack, although he saw Jing Yan using Thunder Origin Immortal Skill, he judged that even so, Jing Yan might only inflict injuries at best. He knew he also had Chen Feng and Zhang Motie by his side. If things went awry, Chen Feng and Zhang Motie would naturally assist him in defense.

It was no secret that Jing Yan mastered the Immortal Technique of Thunder Emperor. The black-clothed Killing Star surely would understand Jing Yan’s information.

Unfortunately, his judgment had a very severe error. First, his Divine Soul Body was attacked, even his mighty Divine Soul Body suffered severe impact. He barely lifted his spirits, frantically mobilizing Divine Power attempting to block Jing Yan’s attack, but this time his defense was quickly dissolved.

"Not good!" Chen Feng’s eyes flickered, shouting in his heart, hurriedly mobilizing Divine Power to help Zhao Yijun block the Sword Light.

Zhang Motie mirrored his actions.

They were top-tier Immortal Venerable Peak Powerhouses, their reaction speed was exceedingly quick, and the speed of releasing their power far surpassed many ordinary Immortal Venerables. But they couldn’t use their strongest means in time.

Therefore, although Chen Feng and Zhang Motie acted, the released power was not satisfactory. Naturally, it couldn’t withstand Jing Yan’s Sword Light.

"Psh!" The Sword Light ultimately cut through Zhao Yijun’s screaming body.

The sword light with purple Thunder Light rendered the activated protective magic treasure of Zhao Yijun mostly ineffective.

"Swish!"

The Immortal Road Time-Space Shuttle emerged, a transmission portal appeared, Chen Feng and Zhang Motie plunged into it. Their movements were swift; as Zhao Yijun was killed by the Sword Light, Chen Feng activated the Immortal Road Time-Space Shuttle. Chen Feng already recognized that Jing Yan’s strength was likely even more formidable than rumored. Staying would mean almost certainly dying at Jing Yan’s hands. Zhao Yijun was already slain, but they couldn’t all perish here together. So, Chen Feng decisively activated the Immortal Road Time-Space Shuttle, then took Zhang Motie with him into it.

Jing Yan watched as the space portal slowly disappeared; he gathered Zhao Yijun’s assorted treasures, then a smile emerged on his face as Divine Thought spread over the world once more.

"It is indeed so! This type of group teleportation treasure has a limited instantaneous movement range. You won’t escape!" Jing Yan laughed.
