The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Killing Qian Zhen Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Killing Qian Zhen Murderous intent overflowed between Jing Yan and Qian Zhen!

Each held a longsword, locking eyes with determination.

“I underestimated you, kid, you’ve kept yourself well hidden,” Qian Zhen said with a low, rumbling voice.

He seemed calm outwardly, yet inside, he was anything but.

Qian Zhen could sense that Jing Yan had not yet stepped into the Dao Spirit Realm.

However, the strength Jing Yan displayed was abnormally formidable, something Qian Zhen failed to comprehend.

“How laughable, when have I ever hidden?” Jing Yan said with a sneer, shaking his head in derision.

“Boy, don’t get cocky!

If this is the extent of your strength, then today, you are still certain to die!” Qian Zhen shouted.

“Shh!”

Following that, a wave of Primordial Energy fluctuations radiated around his body.

With the surging Primordial Energy, Qian Zhen’s skin suddenly started to darken.

After a few breaths, his whole appearance was like a piece of refined iron!

Secret Technique!

Qian Zhen had used a Secret Technique!

Jing Yan watched Qian Zhen intently.

It was no surprise to him that Qian Zhen had practiced a Secret Technique.

In Dao Yi Academy’s Treasure Vault, many types of Secret Techniques could be exchanged for, as long as one was an Inner Court Student and had enough points to swap for the desired Secret Technique.

After Jing Yan advanced to Inner Court Student, he could also exchange for Secret Techniques in the Treasure Vault.

“It’s the Vajra Divine Body!”

“The Secret Technique Qian Zhen has used is indeed the Vajra Divine Body!”

Qian Zhen’s Secret Technique was instantly recognized once it was deployed.

The Vajra Divine Body was a Secret Technique that enhanced the body’s defensive capabilities and strength.

This technique shared certain similarities with the Copper Wall Iron Wall but was much more formidable.

However, such techniques were not without their drawbacks, as the enhancement of defensive strength and power also decreased the user’s agility.

Qian Zhen, of course, had his own reasons; he had already witnessed Jing Yan’s speed.

Without using the Vajra Divine Body, his agility fell far behind Jing Yan’s.

Therefore, in a duel with Jing Yan, even if it further reduced his mobility, it wouldn’t enlarge his disadvantage.

But by using the Vajra Divine Body, his defense and strength could be significantly increased.

“Die!” After using the Secret Technique, Qian Zhen’s voice changed, becoming hoarse with metallic undertones, as if he had really turned into a chunk of refined iron.

With his growl, the level of his dense Primordial Energy also abruptly doubled.

The black Sword Light generated by the Thunderbolt Sword Technique had expanded another round, rolling oppressively towards Jing Yan.

“Qian Zhen has employed a Secret Technique, I wonder if Jing Yan has ever practiced one!”

“It’s uncertain.

Jing Yan has just joined Dao Yi Academy and is not yet an Inner Court Student.

He definitely hasn’t received any Secret Techniques from Dao Yi Academy.

Moreover, he has only been in the academy for a month; even if he’s obtained a Secret Technique, there wouldn’t have been enough time to cultivate it.

If he has a Secret Technique, it’s likely one he learned before entering Dao Yi Academy!”

The surrounding crowd once again burst into discussion.

“To death!” Qian Zhen bellowed furiously.

Ying Youque and the others from the Criminal Punishment Hall relaxed considerably.

The Vajra Divine Body was a very powerful Secret Technique, but its use was greatly consuming.

To deploy the Vajra Divine Body at the Early Stage of the Dao Spirit Realm might not last for long.

However, having used the Vajra Divine Body and with his strength significantly enhanced, killing Jing Yan within this time frame should be more than feasible.

“Boom!”

Jing Yan dared not hesitate in the slightest, the Red Sword Light swung out once again.

“Crack!”

This time, Jing Yan executed the New Moon Cutting Sword Technique.

The New Moon Cutting Sword Technique was much stronger than the Condensed Moon Three Waves.

However, the Red Sword Light that the Moon Cutting Sword Technique condensed only managed to stalemate with the black sword light for the blink of an eye before shattering.

The Red Sword Light burst in the air, creating a scene that was both startling and terrifying.

“Sky Wings!” Jing Yan was well prepared.

As soon as the Red Sword Light dissipated, he immediately activated the Sky Wings Body Technique Martial Arts to dodge the most powerful point of attack.

“Tap tap tap!” After landing again, Jing Yan’s body continuously retreated several meters.

“What a powerful attack!” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes.

After Qian Zhen activated the Vajra Divine Body, his strength had indeed increased tremendously, with astonishing attack power.

Even with the Sky Wings activated, Jing Yan couldn’t completely avoid Qian Zhen’s attacks.

He quietly activated the Sky Vaulting First Divine Skill, suppressing the floating Primordial Energy.

“Die!” Qian Zhen’s attack showed no sign of stopping.

Even before the first strike from his Secret Technique had fully subsided, his second attack quickly followed.

He saw the light of victory.

As long as Jing Yan had not cultivated a Secret Technique, this battle would undoubtedly end with Jing Yan’s death.

“Jing Yan, have you never cultivated a Secret Technique?” Lin Yan couldn’t help but ask, sounding even more anxious than Jing Yan.

“No.” Jing Yan found the time to respond amidst the chaos.

Lin Yan’s face darkened.

If Jing Yan had never cultivated a Secret Technique, then in this battle, he might indeed be defeated by Qian Zhen, or even die by his hand.

The Vajra Divine Body was indeed too formidable.

“Boy, today you will certainly die!” With a malicious smile on his lips, Qian Zhen continued to unleash the Thunderbolt Sword Technique.

“Is that so?” Jing Yan smiled.

“Holy Light Sword Technique!” Jing Yan’s aura concentrated, and he summoned all his Primordial Energy.

The Primordial Energy within the Fog Vortex surged through his entire Martial Arts Meridians.

Unleashing the Holy Light Sword Technique, Red Sword Light appeared, entwined with a layer of white light.

This white light was so majestic that it seemed much more terrifying than the Red Sword Light.

This Sword Light clashed with the black sword light.

The two lights collided like two mountain ranges smashing together at high speed.

Even the space around them vibrated violently in that moment.

“Puff!

Puff!”

Both Jing Yan and Qian Zhen were pushed back.

Jing Yan retreated about five meters, while Qian Zhen was forced back more than ten meters.

Apparently, Jing Yan’s strike seemed far more powerful than Qian Zhen’s attack.

“The Vajra Divine Body is nothing special after all!” Jing Yan revealed a smile as he swung the Skyfire Sword once more.

“Damn it!” Qian Zhen appeared furious.

The impact he received was indeed much more severe than Jing Yan’s, but his body’s defensive strength was so high that he could withstand such shocks.

“Whoosh!” The Holy Light Sword Technique enveloped Qian Zhen again.

This time, Jing Yan infused his own Sword Intent into the technique.

Sword Intent, the force that could draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

“Think you can kill me?

Impossible!” Qian Zhen’s eyes were bloodshot.

“Is that so?” Jing Yan sneered.

After the black sword light of the Thunderbolt Sword Technique was shattered, the Red Sword Light of the Holy Light Sword Technique might have also dispersed, but the dispersed Red Sword Light did not vanish quickly.

Instead, it flickered around Qian Zhen’s body.

This was the terrifying aspect of Sword Intent.

“Puchi!” Tiny fragments of sword light instantly pierced into Qian Zhen’s body.
