The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218: Face-to-Face Encounter

Seeing Zhu Chun and the others, Jing Yan’s face showed a peculiar expression.

Because Zhu Chun and the others didn’t look like they were leisurely searching for Divine Light Stones but were fleeing like frightened dogs.

”It seems like they are being chased?” Jing Yan’s eyes squinted slightly, then he stopped in place.

At this moment, Zhu Chun and the others were flying rapidly towards the spot where Jing Yan was. It wasn’t intentional; it was just that their original flying direction took them past where Jing Yan was.

”Brother Yan, run!” Zhu Chun saw Jing Yan from a distance and shouted loudly, urging Jing Yan to quickly turn and flee for his life.

”Hurry up, or it’ll be too late! Behind us is that madman from the Eastern Domain, Demon Zhao, and Senior Brother Taiyu has already been killed by him!” Fairy Hong Jue spoke up after Zhu Chun.

Taiyu was killed?

Jing Yan was taken aback. Although he was not familiar with this Taiyu, he had gained some understanding recently. Taiyu was recognized as the top True God level expert in the Beibi River Divine Domain. His cultivation was unmatched by Zhu Chun, Liu Yifan, and others.

Such a powerful figure was actually killed by Demon Zhao Duan.

Jing Yan remained motionless in place, as if he hadn’t heard Zhu Chun and the others’ warnings.

”Brother Yan, why are you still standing there? Demon Zhao’s flying speed is extremely fast, we’re about to be caught up. Quickly take out your token, and once you see Demon Zhao, immediately activate the directional transmission array.” Zhu Chun and the others were getting closer and closer to Jing Yan. Seeing that Jing Yan was not moving, they urged him again.

”Yan Jin, hurry up!” Xiang Chaoyang shouted with a dark face.

”Go? Where can you go?” An overwhelmingly strong aura descended from the sky.

Then, a cold voice came from behind the group.

In mid-flight, Zhu Chun and the others paused slightly. They only felt a powerful aura pressing down on them fiercely from the heavens.

All six of them turned pale instantly.

They knew that Demon Zhao had caught up with them and that this cruel demon was now very close.

They also understood that the only way to escape from Demon Zhao now was to activate the transmission array and leave the Upper Pure Secret Realm.

Jing Yan focused on the direction behind Zhu Chun and the others.

Demon Zhao’s figure gradually became clearer in Jing Yan’s vision.

The Colorful Cloud Sword appeared in Jing Yan’s hand. Zhu Chun and the others were stunned to see Jing Yan draw a weapon.

What is Yan Jin trying to do? Does he still want to fight Demon Zhao? Does he even know how terrifying Demon Zhao is?

”Seeking your own death, blame no one else!” Liu Yifan glanced at Jing Yan, stunned, then continued, ”Let’s activate the transmission array and leave the Upper Pure Secret Realm first!”

Before Liu Yifan finished speaking, his figure disappeared right in front of the group. Clearly, he had already activated the directional transmission array to leave the Upper Pure Secret Realm.

”We can’t shake him off, better to transmit out!” Jiao Zhan shook his head and, following Liu Yifan, activated the directional transmission array on his token.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Chun and the others were down to four people. Although these remaining four tightly held their tokens, they did not activate them immediately.

”Brother Yan, what are you doing? Do you want to confront Demon Zhao? It’s futile, even Senior Brother Taiyu couldn’t match Demon Zhao.” Zhu Chun anxiously said to Jing Yan.

Zhu Chun was quite likable, showing loyalty and righteousness. When Hao Yang introduced these people to Jing Yan, Zhu Chun was the first to be introduced. Zhu Chun’s strength was slightly weaker than Liu Yifan, which showed Hao Yang valued Zhu Chun over Liu Yifan.

”You all should go ahead, don’t mind me.” Jing Yan smiled at Zhu Chun, ”If you don’t leave now, you’ll be in danger.”

Demon Zhao was already less than a hundred miles away from the group. This distance, for a strong person of Zhao Duan’s level, could be covered in just two or three breaths.

Zhu Chun gritted his teeth, still hesitating to activate the transmission array in his hand.

Xiang Chaosong, Fairy Hong Jue, and Fairy Fu Ying were the same.

Xiang Chaosong and Fairy Hong Jue possibly couldn’t bear to leave Jing Yan alone to face the madman Demon Zhao. As for Fairy Fu Ying, she had a different mindset. She believed since there were five people here, Demon Zhao would not target her first; she was quite confident in her charm.

No matter how strong Demon Zhao was, he wouldn’t be able to kill all five of them at once.

They were not ordinary Nine-star True Gods, too.

Just like when Jing Yan killed Fairy Xiuyan, he couldn’t have killed those three male martial artists along with Fairy Xiuyan. Those who enter the Upper Pure Secret Realm aren’t ordinary Nine-star True Gods. Each of them possesses extremely formidable life-preservation methods and has comprehended more than one first-class Divine Power.

It’s impossible for Demon Zhao to annihilate all of them with a single strike; at most, he could kill one at a time.

Therefore, Fairy Fu Ying hadn’t left immediately and planned to observe a bit longer.

Outside the Upper Pure Secret Realm.

”Brother Liu, it seems like the others haven’t come out!” Jiao Zhan looked around, noticing that among their small group of six, only he and Liu Yifan appeared here.

Liu Yifan’s eyes flickered, his eyelids twitching violently.

”Liu Yifan!”

Hao Yuntian, seeing Liu Yifan and Jiao Zhan appear on the platform, immediately focused his gaze on them.

”Where is Yan Jin?” Hao Yuntian asked directly.

”Lord Domain!” Liu Yifan and Jiao Zhan both greeted Hao Yuntian respectfully.

”Weren’t you with Yan Jin? Why is it just the two of you coming out? Where are the others?” Although Hao Yuntian appeared calm, he was already burning with anxiety internally.

”We encountered Zhao Duan from the Eastern Domain, who was pursuing us. Despite our efforts to evade, we were eventually caught up. With no other choice, Jiao Zhan and I activated the transmission array and came out.” Liu Yifan said, lowering his head.

”Indeed, Lord Domain, Zhao Duan’s strength is too formidable; we couldn’t possibly confront him and had to teleport out.” Jiao Zhan added.

”I asked where the others are!” Hao Yuntian’s voice became stern.

Liu Yifan thought for a bit; he knew what Lord Domain cared most about was probably Yan Jin. As for the others, he assumed Lord Domain wouldn’t be so urgent in his inquiry. With this thought, his jealousy and resentment towards Jing Yan intensified a bit more.

”In the end, we were with Yan Jin and the others, altogether seven people. I have already told them to activate the transmission array. I just don’t know why they didn’t come out with us.” Liu Yifan shook his head and said.

In his heart, he wished that Yan Jin would die at the hands of Demon Zhao.

”Damn it!” Hao Yuntian cursed angrily in his heart.
