The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Hope in Despair Chapter 363: Chapter 363: Hope in Despair In extreme excitement, Chen Bing surprisingly didn’t notice the unpleasant expression on the guard’s face.

The guard was sent by Chen Bing to gather news near the Jing Family Mansion and was naturally one of Chen Bing’s confidantes; he also knew what Chen Bing was thinking and expecting.

The problem was that the news he brought back was definitely not good news for Chen Bing.

“What’s going on?

Is the Jing Family still resisting?

How is that possible?

The power of the Zhao Family Camp should be more than enough to completely crush the Jing Family Camp ten times over.

How could the Jing Family resist for so long?” Chen Bing, seeing that the guard had not immediately reported the news and seemed to have an unpleasant expression, furrowed his brow.

“My lord!”

“The Jing Family is still there, but the Zhao Family is gone.

The Zhao Family is finished.” The guard clenched his teeth and loudly reported.

Chen Bing’s mouth opened, his face trembled rapidly, and his small eyes bulged.

For a moment, he couldn’t react.

He couldn’t accept the reality the guard described.

If this guard weren’t his confidant, he would definitely think that the guard was deceiving him on purpose.

But the guard in front of him was absolutely one of his closest confidants, and now his reason told him that what the guard said was true.

The question was, how could this possibly have happened?

The Zhao Family Camp’s power was so formidable, with several warriors of the Dao Spirit Realm; what could the Jing Family have used to resist?

Exactly how did the Jing Family resist the Dao Spirit Realm martial artists?

What the guard mentioned was not just that the Jing Family had blocked the assault from the Zhao Family, but that they had annihilated the Zhao Family.

What were those Dao Spirit Realm warriors doing?

What was that old man Zhao Dangyuan up to?

“What exactly happened?” After several breaths, Chen Bing took a deep breath, regained his composure, and bellowed.

“Originally, things were going smoothly.

A large number of experts from the Zhao Family Camp approached the Jing Family, and a battle ensued, with heavy casualties on the Jing Family’s side.

But then, a man wearing a straw hat suddenly appeared among the Jing Family.

This straw hat man was incredibly powerful; he first fought with a Dark Night Assassin from the Zhao Family Camp, and the assassin was no match for him.

Later, two more Dao Spirit Realm warriors from the Zhao Family Camp joined the battle to try to kill the straw hat man, but they still couldn’t kill him.”

“At that time, Family Head Zhao, Zhao Dangyuan, suddenly recognized the straw hat man as Jing Yan.

The man was indeed Jing Yan; he removed his straw hat, and we all saw his face.

Zhao Dangyuan also joined the battle and fought Jing Yan, but Jing Yan’s strength was terrifying; they couldn’t kill him.” The guard briefly recounted the process of Jing Yan fighting the four Dao Spirit Realm warriors.

“Are you talking about that Jing Yan from the Jing Family?” Chen Bing certainly wouldn’t forget Jing Yan.

Originally, because Jing Yan had killed a disciple of the Divine Wind Academy Deacon in Lanqu County City, he had pressured the Jing Family to hand over Jing Yan; he had a very deep impression of Jing Yan.

The question was, how could Jing Yan fight against Dao Spirit Realm martial artists?

Moreover, simultaneously fighting four venerable Dao Spirit Realm warriors—it was simply unbelievable!

“Yes, that Jing Yan from the Jing Family, who is only twenty years old.

Eventually, Family Head Zhao and four other Dao Spirit Realm warriors were all killed by Jing Yan,” the guard said with his head down, horrified.

“Jing Yan alone killed four Dao Spirit Realm warriors?” Chen Bing suddenly felt an urge to urinate.

He abruptly realized that now that the Zhao Family had been annihilated and Zhao Dangyuan had been killed by Jing Yan, Jing Yan might very soon come looking for him.

Chen Bing knew that Shi Xuan had gone to help the Jing Family resist the Zhao Family, so Shi Xuan must definitely tell some things about the City Lord Mansion, and he would surely mention that it was he, Chen Bing, who stopped the Armored Guard from assisting the Jing Family.

“Damn it!”

“Let’s go, we need to leave Donglin City immediately!” As soon as Chen Bing realized he was in danger, he made his decision without any hesitation or regret.

It didn’t matter how Jing Yan had become so powerful; the result was that Jing Yan now had overwhelming strength, too strong for him to confront.

If he couldn’t leave Donglin City before Jing Yan found him, he might very well die at Jing Yan’s hands.

“Chen Bing, where do you plan to go?”

At that moment, an angry voice came through.

“Bang bang bang!”

Along with that sound, there was also a violent clash of Primordial Energy and screams.

“Jing Yan?” Chen Bing was startled.

He recognized that the voice seemed to be Jing Yan’s.

And the subsequent violent crashes were likely from Armored Guards trying to stop Jing Yan, only to be sent flying by him.

“Swoosh!”

Then, a fierce gust of wind approached.

Chen Bing only saw a blur before his eyes, and when his vision returned, he was startled to find another person in front of him.

Who else could it be but Jing Yan?

Chen Bing, with a look of utter horror, stared at Jing Yan, who was now close to him.

He had guessed that Jing Yan would come looking for him, but he hadn’t expected Jing Yan to arrive so quickly.

“Jing Yan… what do you want to do here?

How could you barge into the City Lord Mansion!” Chen Bing’s complexion turned pale.

He was merely a Martial Artist at the Innate Peak Realm, not even a match for those in the Dao Spirit Realm; how could he possibly stop Jing Yan?

“This is the City Lord Mansion, I am the Deputy City Lord of Donglin City, do not act recklessly,” Chen Bing yelled wildly.

Hearing Chen Bing’s words, Jing Yan only found it somewhat laughable.

Being at this point, Chen Bing still thought that the identity of the Deputy City Lord could be effective.

He was delusionally hoping to use this position to suppress Jing Yan and make him hesitant to act.

After shaking his head, a fierce light flashed in Jing Yan’s eyes.

“Chen Bing!

I ask you, where is the City Lord’s Wife?” Jing Yan demanded.

Chen Bing’s eyes lit up.

Hearing Jing Yan’s demand, he suddenly had a new idea; that was the City Lord’s Wife.

Chen Bing knew that Huo Chunyang and his wife, Lv Qin, had always been good to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan definitely didn’t want to see Lv Qin hurt, and if Chen Bing could use her, he might successfully escape from Donglin City.

“Listen carefully, Jing Yan, Lv Qin is in my hands, if you dare harm me, then you’ll never get to see Lv Qin again,” Chen Bing threatened.

Jing Yan’s expression changed.

If Lv Qin was really in Chen Bing’s hands, then it would be difficult to proceed.

Although Jing Yan wanted to kill Chen Bing, if killing him meant endangering Lv Qin’s life, that was definitely not what Jing Yan wished to see.

And according to what Shi Xuan had said earlier, it was indeed very likely that Lv Qin had fallen into Chen Bing’s hands.

What to do?

Jing Yan’s mind raced; no matter what, rescuing Lv Qin was the most crucial.

At that moment, inside the room, the absent-minded Lv Qin’s eyes moved.

It seemed she had heard some quarreling outside, and thought there had been screams before.

What’s going on?

How could there be fighting within the City Lord Mansion?

Could it be that Shi Xuan had returned?

Lv Qin stood up and walked outside.

The voices outside grew clearer.

“Jing Yan?” Lv Qin heard Chen Bing’s voice, who seemed to be calling Jing Yan’s name.
