The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109 Jing Yan Battles Yin Hua

Yin Hua and Jing Yan have a deep hatred but have never met.

At this moment, Yin Hua doesn’t know if Jing Yan is among the crowd. The reason he asked Gu Yuanqi was just a slip of the tongue.

Yin Hua has been eagerly waiting to personally kill Jing Yan. To ensure more people witness the spectacle, he deliberately set the duel for a month later. Every time he thought of Jing Yan during this month, his urge to kill grew stronger.

Upon hearing Yin Hua’s question, Gu Yuanqi withdrew his gaze from surveying the surroundings. A month ago, when Jing Yan first entered the Sixth Palace, Gu Yuanqi saw him outside the Assessment Department. In the crowd on the square, Gu Yuanqi did not see Jing Yan nor the Sixth Palace Qingmu Department Director Lun Ming.

”Jing Yan probably hasn’t arrived yet,” Gu Yuanqi said slowly.

”That bastard has some nerve. Does he expect me to wait for him?” Yin Hua’s eyes were dark and cold.

Gu Yuanqi chuckled dryly and said, ”Yin Hua, shall I have someone from the Qingmu Department go and hurry him along?”

”No need, I’ll wait for him here,” Yin Hua sneered.

”Young Master Hua, could it be that Jing Yan is too scared to appear? Knowing he can’t defeat Young Master Hua, it’s natural for him to feel fear. He might be hiding in the Green Wood Bureau Manor,” a member of the Sky Wolf Department said with flattering smile to Yin Hua.

”Hmph, he challenged me first. If he doesn’t show up today, I’ll personally go to the Qingmu Department to find him,” Yin Hua was not worried about Jing Yan hiding in the Green Wood Bureau Manor.

Even if Jing Yan wants to be a coward, he won’t let him have his way. Jing Yan challenged him immediately upon entering the Sixth Palace. The duel’s date and location were set, so if Jing Yan doesn’t appear, Yin Hua will have a valid reason to demand Jing Yan at the Qingmu Department.

This time, he must kill Jing Yan.

Many martial artists watching in the square were also discussing fervently. As time went by, more people began to doubt if Jing Yan would really dare not show.

The sun was already in the west. If Jing Yan truly wanted to fight Yin Hua, why would he delay appearing?

Some people’s comments grew increasingly offensive, even directly cursing Jing Yan for being a coward, wasting their time by making them wait here. However, despite the insults, hardly anyone left.

At that moment, several figures appeared on the horizon.

”There really are many spectators!” Jing Yan said softly with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth as he flew through the sky.

”Yes! There are nearly five thousand people watching,” Lun Ming nodded. ”Goodness, quite a few deacons from the General Department of the Eighth Palace have come over. Brother Jing Yan, your battle with Yin Hua is indeed attracting everyone’s attention.”

”In the entire Luo Jiu Divine Palace, such high-level duels like today’s are rare. Anyone able to spare the time certainly wouldn’t miss such a match,” a deacon from the Qingmu Department of the Sixth Palace chimed in.

As they spoke, they descended from the sky onto the square.

Among the martial artists gathered, someone recognized Jing Yan and Lun Ming.

”The martial artist wearing the blue robe is Jing Yan. Yes, the young martial artist beside Lun Ming.”

”This Jing Yan actually dared to come.”

”Tsk, I thought Jing Yan wouldn’t dare to fight Yin Hua. Unexpectedly, he actually showed up. Isn’t he afraid of dying at Yin Hua’s hands?”

”...”

Jing Yan’s appearance caused a stir among the crowd, with many people’s eyes gleaming, intensely focused on Jing Yan. It seems they wanted to take a good look at this recent young genius who stirred up Luo Jiu Divine Palace.

”Yin Hua, that person is Jing Yan,” Gu Yuanqi pointed at Jing Yan, saying to the nearby Yin Hua.

”Hmm, I see him,” Yin Hua nodded.

Before his words finished, he took a few steps forward, his gaze fixed on Jing Yan.

”You’re Jing Yan?” Yin Hua stared at Jing Yan, his deep eyes boiling with killing intent. With hands behind his back and an overseeing posture, he spoke.

”And you’re Yin Hua?” Jing Yan also had his hands behind his back, his eyes half-closed.

”That’s right, I am Yin Hua. Jing Yan, prepare to die!” Yin Hua’s right arm suddenly thrust forward.

A green glow appeared at his arm’s forefront. In the green light, a longsword flickered in and out of existence.

”Green Radiance Sword!” echoed a low cry from the crowd.

Yin Hua’s Green Radiance Sword clearly had some fame. The Green Radiance Sword, a high-grade attack divine artifact, possessed incredibly powerful might.

High-grade divine artifacts are not commonplace. Within the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, many high-level True Gods only use high-grade divine artifacts.

Jing Yan’s Colorful Cloud Sword is now also a high-grade divine artifact. But the Colorful Cloud Sword absorbed over two hundred Five Elements Crystals, equivalent to consuming over two hundred million first-level divine crystals.

Ordinarily, even high-level True Gods find it challenging to gather such a vast number of first-level divine crystals.

Under Yin Hua’s urge, the Green Radiance Sword released a massive green Sword Light.

With almost no extra words, Yin Hua attacked Jing Yan. At this moment, quite a few people stood not far from the two. Seeing Yin Hua’s sudden assault, these individuals rushed outward; they didn’t wish to endure the two’s attack power.

Seeing Yin Hua attack, Jing Yan’s eyes sharpened, and the Colorful Cloud Sword quickly appeared.

”This Yin Hua’s strength is indeed formidable. Chief Lun Ming said he’s already at the Three-star True God Realm, and it’s not just empty words,” Jing Yan’s mind rapidly processed thoughts, simultaneously, multicolored sword light surged from the Colorful Cloud Sword, meeting the green Sword Light head-on.

The multicolored Sword Light and the green Sword Light fiercely collided in space.

The two Sword Lights clashed, and two different Light Halos suddenly expanded and exploded. With the collision as the center, the two Sword Lights rapidly radiated outward. In the blink of an eye, one could see countless powers of laws twisting and intertwining in the surrounding space.

Under the impetus of powerful energy, these powers of laws tore at each other. Both sides wanted to shred the other to pieces.

After a few breaths, the two Sword Lights gradually dimmed, eventually disappearing completely from the space.

The first exchange between Jing Yan and Yin Hua presented a scenario of equal strength.

”Jing Yan, you’re able to block one of my swings. You indeed have some skill; no wonder you dare to be so arrogant,” Yin Hua’s eyes swept over Jing Yan, ”Being strong is better. If you’re too weak, that would be uninteresting.”

In fact, from the beginning, Yin Hua never underestimated Jing Yan. Jing Yan managed to kill Dunrong when he was in the Nine Stars Void God Realm. Now that he’s stepped into the True God Realm, his combat power is undoubtedly stronger.

The first swing was merely a probe. Yin Hua never believed he could kill Jing Yan with one strike. If that were truly the case, it would indeed be dull. The stronger Jing Yan’s demonstrated combat power, the more satisfaction Yin Hua would gain from killing Jing Yan.
