The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Annihilation of the Wen Family

From the moment he fell into the Seven Killings Soul-locking Array, the tragic fate of Wen Xiangtian, a late Daoist Master Realm warrior, was sealed.

Wen Xiangtian’s cultivation was indeed strong. However, Jing Yan’s combat power was nearly as formidable. Plus, with the Seven Killings Soul-locking Array, Wen Xiangtian could only become a victim of torment.

Wen Xiangtian died!

Within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Jing Yan successfully decapitated Wen Xiangtian, severing his head cleanly.

Thus, a late Daoist Master Realm warrior fell.

It must be said that within Lanqu County, Wen Xiangtian’s cultivation ranked definitely within the top five. But today, his life, which spanned over three hundred years, came to an end.

After killing Wen Xiangtian, Jing Yan swiftly collected his weapons and Sumeru Ring and then flashed out of the Seven Killings Soul-locking Array. Under the watchful eyes of many horrified onlookers, Jing Yan made his way to attack Wen Ru, the Wen Family’s Supreme Elder, who was battling Lin Qing at the time.

At that moment, Wen Ru felt chilled to the bone.

Although he had been fighting continuously with Lin Qing, he had been monitoring the battle between Jing Yan and Wen Xiangtian. He saw with his own eyes how Wen Xiangtian was slain by Jing Yan.

He knew the Wen Family was doomed.

The Wen Family could be said to have been annihilated by this young man named Jing Yan, without needing Commandery Prince Zhou Shangyun and others to lift a finger.

Wen Ru internally sighed.

Wen Ru, merely a Middle Daoist Realm martial artist and about equal in cultivation to Mr. Yin, couldn’t have matched Jing Yan even without Lin Qing’s presence. Together, Jing Yan and Lin Qing easily overpowered Wen Ru, who fell dead on the spot in short order.

”President Lin Qing, there should be quite a few resources on Wen Ru; please collect them,” Jing Yan said to Lin Qing with a smile.

”Is that appropriate?” Lin Qing’s eyes flickered.

”President Lin Qing, I will remember this favor. The resources on Wen Ru are just a small reward,” Jing Yan said, slightly narrowing his eyes.

”Okay, I will take them!” Lin Qing was straightforward, picking up Wen Ru’s Sumeru Ring and weapons.

Wen Ru was a Middle Daoist Realm martial artist, the Supreme Elder of the Wen Family—how could his resources be scarce? Even Lin Qing couldn’t ignore the supplies on Wen Ru.

”I’m going to meet Dean Wen Guang,” Jing Yan said, bowing to Lin Qing.

Meanwhile, Dean Wen Guang was still embroiled in battle with Dao Spirit Realm warriors of the Wen Family. Although he had killed a few weaker Dao Spirit Realm warriors, the fierce battle was far from conclusively decided.

Jing Yan charged in, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wreaking havoc.

The Dao Spirit Realm warriors of the Wen Family, even when combined to resist Dean Wen Guang, were under significant pressure. Now with Jing Yan joining in, their formation instantly collapsed, and within mere moments, three Dao Spirit Realm warriors were slain.

”Run!” shouted a Dao Spirit Realm elder as he turned to flee.

Yet, before Jing Yan and Wen Guang, escape was difficult. If they had united and held their ground, they might have lasted a while longer. But choosing to flee only hastened their deaths.

Especially with Jing Yan, who, upon activating Sky Wings, could catch up in the blink of an eye to any Dao Spirit Realm warrior attempting to escape long distances, and then slay them with a single stroke.

Several dozen breaths later, dozens of Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists of the Wen Family were slaughtered,

and the Innate Martial Artists of the Wen Family trapped in the Great Sun Meteor Array were also more than 80% dead, with the rest only a matter of time before they would be crushed to death.

At this time, countless members within the Wen Family Mansion had completely fallen into chaos, and numerous figures were frantically rushing out of the mansion.

Though the Armored Guards of the Prince Manor had previously surrounded the Wen Family Mansion, they could not forcibly stop the Martial Artists of the Wen Family from charging out due to the presence of the Undying Saint Order.

The number of Wen Family personnel was too great, and even with the formidable strength of people like Jing Yan, it was impossible to intercept all of them.

However, at this moment, a group of Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists arrived from not far away. These individuals were students from the North Peak of Dao Yi Academy, led by North Peak Master Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi led over fifty Dao Spirit Realm students from Dao Yi Academy North Peak, frantically slaughtering the fleeing descendants of the Wen Family. Meanwhile, on another side, Dao Spirit Realm Pill Masters from the Alchemist Association also timely arrived on the scene, joining the battle.

A shocking and earth-shaking great battle was slowly drawing to a close. The Wen Family suffered a bloodbath with countless lost lives.

Of course, at the final moments, although powerhouses from Dao Yi Academy and the Alchemist Association joined the forces exterminating the descendants of the Wen Family, considering the vast number of Wen Family descendants, it was unrealistic to wipe them all out.

Eventually, a significant number of Wen Family descendants escaped from Lanqu County City. Most of these escapees were Martial Artists in the Postnatal Realm, and even if they survived, they could hardly stir up much trouble. Moreover, if they did not wish to die, they would surely not set foot in Lanqu County City again.

”Prince,” Jing Yan approached Zhou Shangyun and bowed.

”Jing Yan...” Zhou Shangyun stared, looking at Jing Yan, at a loss for words for a moment.

At this moment, he could hardly believe that the Wen Family was truly annihilated. And the whole process took just over an hour.

It was simply... utterly ruthless!

Zhou Shangyun internally calculated that even for his Prince Manor, eradicating the Wen Family was not an easy task. Firstly, the Jiuhua Array could stall the Prince Manor for quite some time, and even Ma Kui, the Array Master, misjudged it. Secondly, the Wen Family Supreme Elder, Clan Leader Wen Lan’s father Wen Xiangtian, was already at the Late Daoist Realm, and Zhou Shangyun was not confident he could defeat Wen Xiangtian.

For the Prince Manor to annihilate the Wen Family, it was not easy. Yet, Jing Yan, relying almost solely on his own power, had completely eradicated the Wen Family in just over an hour.

The illustrious Wen Family, just like that, was finished!

”Armored Guards, heed my command, although the Wen Family members are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve death, our Prince Manor cannot let the bodies of the Wen Family rot in the streets. Now, collect and properly bury all the corpses of the Wen Family members!” Mu Liantian exhaled heavily and issued the order to the Armored Guard in a solemn voice.

Keeping up appearances was still necessary!

”Yes!” The Armored Guard followed the command and began to take action.

Initially, they, the Armored Guard, were supposed to fight and combat with the Wen Family members. Unexpectedly, their job turned into collecting corpses.

Thinking about it, it was indeed somewhat ironic.

”Jing Yan! Now that the Wen Family has been exterminated, what are your plans for the next step?” Zhou Shangyun frowned and inquired of Jing Yan.

As one of Lanqu County’s Four Great Families, the abundance of the Wen Family’s assets was known. Zhou Shangyun’s inquiry was about how Jing Yan planned to handle the Wen Family’s assets.

If it had been the Prince Manor that had eliminated the Wen Family, then naturally, seven or eight tenths of the Wen Family’s assets would surely be reclaimed by the Prince Manor. But now, since Jing Yan had used his own power to eliminate the Wen Family, Zhou Shangyun felt it improper to seize the Wen Family’s assets from Jing Yan. Moreover, Jing Yan had done him favors.
