The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 359: Chapter 359: The Subsequent Tragedy of Zhao Dangyuan Chapter 359: Chapter 359: The Subsequent Tragedy of Zhao Dangyuan Dark Night Assassin saw the Red Sword Light chopping down towards him and narrowed his eyes, pursing his lips slightly.

Having been fooled once, would he be fooled a second time?

With his cultivation, he of course knew that Jing Yan’s previous attack was only incredibly fast; in terms of true strength, there wasn’t much of a significant increase.

Therefore, as long as he was fully prepared, he could definitely block such a level of attack with his own power.

Moreover, he could use Jing Yan’s attack to borrow strength and escape to a further place.

This way, he would be able to leave the battlefield smoothly.

Dark Night Assassin swung the black Short Sword in his hand, attempting to block the Red Sword Light.

“Boom!”

After a loud noise, Dark Night Assassin’s eyes bulged!

He couldn’t understand!

He really couldn’t understand why Jing Yan’s attack this time was so terrifying.

The murderous intent and power contained within the sword light were more than twice as formidable as what he had endured before.

“Crack!” There wasn’t much time left for the Dark Night Assassin to ponder the reason.

The force he used to defend was instantly shattered by the Red Sword Light.

The next moment, the Red Sword Light passed through his body.

The body of the Dark Night Assassin trembled slightly.

Then, he collapsed limply to the ground!

Clearly, this Dao Spirit Realm Gold Medal Assassin had been slain by Jing Yan!

This scene filled countless pairs of eyes with shock.

The one who had fallen was a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse!

Previously, there were hardly any Dao Spirit Realm powerhouses in the whole of Donglin City.

Each Dao Spirit was a true big shot; just a stomp of their foot, and the entire Donglin City would tremble three times.

But now, a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse had died right before everyone’s eyes, which was somewhat hard to accept.

Zhao Dangyuan had naturally also witnessed the death of the Dark Night Assassin, and the flames of anger in his heart rapidly extinguished.

At this moment, he began to consider his own safety.

Just before, his chest had been filled with rage, and he hadn’t considered at all whether Jing Yan could kill him.

Now, seeing the Dark Night Gold Medal Killer slain, he suddenly calmed down.

If Jing Yan could kill the Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin, he could just as well kill him too!

Compared to revenge, he clearly cared more about his own life.

To die for revenge was not worth it!

“No!

I absolutely cannot die!” Zhao Dangyuan roared inwardly.

Zhao Dangyuan didn’t want to die!

Immediately, the Primordial Energy he was channeling noticeably retracted quite a bit.

Each attack was no longer as desperate as before.

The death of the Dark Night Gold Medal Assassin had a tremendous impact on the battlefield.

Although the Dark Night Assassin was previously only fighting Jing Yan and did not inflict direct harm on the others on the battlefield, now that the Dark Night Assassin was dead, the impact on the morale of the martial artists from both camps was incalculable on the surface.

For the martial artists on Jing Yan’s side, their morale was undoubtedly greatly boosted.

While for the Zhao Family’s martial artists, a sense of despair began to grow uncontrollably in their hearts.

The influence of one’s emotions in such a chaotic battle was extremely terrifying.

For instance, if two martial artists of equal strength were locked in combat, it was hard to predict the outcome.

However, if one of them was affected by pessimistic emotions, then it was very likely that in the next moment, he would be killed.

“Zhao Dangyuan, I ask you, did you cause the death of my grandfather, Jing Tian?” Jing Yan had never forgotten this matter.

Senior Tianshui had told him that Jing Tian had been attacked by a Dark Night assassin, fatally wounded and passed away from his injuries.

Why did the Dark Night assassins attack Jing Tian?

Without reason, the Dark Night assassins surely wouldn’t attack Jing Tian.

Jing Yan was more than eighty percent sure that it was the Zhao Family who hired the Dark Night assassins to lay their treacherous hands on Jing Tian.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Zhao Dangyuan’s breath became slightly erratic, clearly his emotions were affected.

“Zhao Dangyuan, whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t matter anymore.

If you don’t confess, I also know that my grandfather was murdered by a Dark Night assassin hired by you,” Jing Yan’s voice resonated with anger.

“There’s also the Wen Family, they can’t be absolved of their involvement either.

A family like the Zhao Family being in contact with the Dark Night Organization—without a doubt, the Wen Family played an indispensable role!” Jing Yan continued, “Today, I will eradicate the Zhao Family, and another day, I will destroy the Wen Family in Lanqu County City.”

Jing Yan’s voice was not loud, only the Wen Family Elder and Zhao Dangyuan could hear it clearly.

The three Dao Spirit Realm martial artists were staring at Jing Yan with a mix of horror and fear, especially the two elders of the Wen Family.

Their faces beneath the masks were extremely gloomy.

At this moment, their emotions were very complex; they were pondering whether coming to Donglin City to aid the Zhao Family was a mistake—perhaps they shouldn’t have come at all.

“Jing Yan, you are right.

Your grandfather Jing Tian was indeed assassinated by a Dark Night assassin hired by our Zhao Family.

Hehe, that old man Jing Tian was about to advance to the Dao Spirit Realm!

How could I allow him to make that advancement?

Therefore, he had to die.

Don’t blame me for this, if you must blame someone, blame him for wanting to advance to the Dao Spirit Realm!” Zhao Dangyuan spoke with a sinister tone.

Jing Yan’s eyes turned slightly red, and a wave of murderous intent spread from his body.

“Void Flame!”

“Zhao Dangyuan, die!” Jing Yan stimulated all of his Primordial Energy, swung the Skyfire Sword, and the Holy Light Sword Technique surged forth towards Zhao Dangyuan.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Dangyuan was overjoyed!

The words he had just spoken were true, but they were also targeted.

He knew that Jing Yan deeply cared about his deceased grandfather Jing Tian, so his words were meant to infuriate Jing Yan.

In such intense combat, once Jing Yan was enraged and lost his rationality, he would reveal his weaknesses.

That would give them the chance to kill Jing Yan.

Indeed, Jing Yan had lost his reason, furiously channeling Primordial Energy to attack Zhao Dangyuan, which led to him neglecting his defense.

“Two elders, quick, seize this opportunity to kill this boy!” Such opportunities were rare; they had been fighting Jing Yan for over thirty minutes.

Jing Yan’s movement techniques were mysterious and his speed was incredible; they had barely any good opportunities.

But now, they finally got a chance, the chance to kill Jing Yan.

The two elders of the Wen Family were also very skilled in combat and immediately seized this opening.

They quickly capitalized on Jing Yan’s defensive lapse, bombarding him with martial arts attacks.

“Bang!” It seemed as though Jing Yan did not notice the Wen Family elders’ attacks.

The Holy Light Sword Technique, carrying an indomitable power, bore down on Zhao Dangyuan.

When the Holy Light Sword Technique, augmented by the Void Flame Secret Method, was activated, Zhao Dangyuan wasn’t very worried.

He believed in his strength, that even facing Jing Yan’s strongest and most frenzied strike, he would not be directly killed.

Even if he couldn’t fully withstand the attack, at most he would only be injured.

For him, an injury in exchange for Jing Yan’s life was very much worth it.

If Jing Yan did not die, the consequences would be fatal for the Zhao Family.

If Jing Yan remained alive, the Zhao Family might not fall today, but their demise was inevitable in the future.
