The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379: You Can’t Kill a Single One

Gui Zhen God Lord’s narrow eyes lightly squinted, casting a gloomy look at Jing Yan. He wore a smile, yet he spoke to Jing Yan without rising from his seat.

It was clear that even in front of Jing Yan, Gui Zhen God Lord still held an air of superiority.

In his eyes, Jing Yan might only be considered a junior. Of course, it must be said that throughout the Seventh Divine Domain, Gui Zhen God Lord indeed had the right to be proud. Within the entire God Realm, aside from the few super first-class and first-class God Lords, there were truly not many who caught Gui Zhen’s attention.

Among the few worth his attention, it obviously wouldn’t include the newly emergent Jing Yan.

With Jing Yan’s sudden arrival, Gui Zhen remained seated, finding nothing inappropriate about it.

”Why are you all kneeling? Stand up!” Jing Yan said to the hundreds of Luli Divine Domain martial artists still kneeling in the square.

These hundreds of martial artists, upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, exchanged subtle glances with each other, their eyes flickering with complex emotions.

However, of the three to four hundred people kneeling there, not one dared to stand up.

They didn’t want to kneel, either, but standing before them was the notorious Gui Zhen God Lord. Gui Zhen God Lord hadn’t told them to stand; standing up on their own could very well mean dying here.

When faced with choosing between kneeling and their lives, naturally, they chose life.

No one spoke, and no one stood up as Jing Yan had instructed.

Jing Yan shook his head lightly at the sight of their expressions.

Gui Zhen God Lord, too, displayed a cold smile on his face, feeling a slight annoyance due to Jing Yan’s words.

”Gui Zhen God Lord, what brings you to the Luli Divine Domain to see me?” Jing Yan looked at Gui Zhen, his voice calm as he asked.

”Indeed, I have business with you. I’ve heard that you, Jing Yan, have achieved remarkable feats in Alchemy Dao. Therefore, I’ve come specifically to ask you to help refine a few batches of elixir,” Gui Zhen God Lord responded with a faint smile.

”Gui Zhen God Lord flatters me!” Jing Yan shook his head.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, there’s no need to be modest. In the God Realm, who doesn’t know of your prowess in Alchemy Dao? It’s said that below the Holy Alchemists, your alchemical abilities rank at the very top,” Gui Zhen chuckled.

Jing Yan’s eyes flickered.

”If Gui Zhen God Lord seeks my alchemy, it’s naturally no issue. As long as I have the time and it’s within my capabilities, despite our lack of familiarity or prior contact, I’ll lend a helping hand,” Jing Yan lifted his brows slightly.

”However, I’d like to know, what exactly is this situation?” Jing Yan pointed to the martial artists kneeling in the square, his voice slightly firm.

”Haha...”

”It’s merely a trivial matter. I came to the Luli Divine Domain, and upon hearing that Alchemist Jing Yan had gone to Chaos and intended to enter the Land of Descent, I thought you might never return in this lifetime. In that case, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip for me? Obviously, I can’t come for nothing. Coincidentally, I’m short on divine crystals lately, so I asked them to offer some. They’re a bit poor, but better than nothing!” Gui Zhen casually explained.

As if requiring offerings from the forces of the Luli Divine Domain was a noble privilege for these forces.

”Oh?”

”Did they willingly provide divine crystals to Gui Zhen God Lord?” Jing Yan’s voice turned slightly cold.

”Moreover, I’ve heard Gui Zhen God Lord has killed some people in the Luli Divine Domain?” Jing Yan stared at Gui Zhen.

”Just some ants, no big deal. The God Realm’s Three Thousand Divine Realms have countless martial artists. If a few die, does it matter? Alchemist Jing Yan, your tone seems a bit unfriendly!” Gui Zhen inhaled slightly, looking at Jing Yan.

”Ants?”

”They’re not ants; they’re people!” Jing Yan’s aura compressed as he spoke, ”If they had actively provoked Gui Zhen God Lord and were killed, that would be their own fault. But from the information I’ve received, they did not offend you, Gui Zhen God Lord. Simply because they couldn’t produce enough tribute, you decided to kill them?”

”Gui Zhen God Lord, are you a bandit?” Jing Yan’s voice demanded sternly.

As Jing Yan’s words rang out, Gui Zhen God Lord’s face changed abruptly.

Earlier, he was already displeased because, since Jing Yan’s arrival, his attitude hadn’t been very respectful. Then it escalated to questioning and reprimanding.

In the God Realm, how many dared to rebuke Gui Zhen?

If not for considering that Jing Yan is Zhan Yue God Emperor’s direct disciple, he wouldn’t have bothered explaining so much.

But now, this Jing Yan dared to question him!

A wave of anger surged in Gui Zhen’s chest, and his gaze grew increasingly cold.

”Alchemist Jing Yan, are you accusing me?” Gui Zhen’s body exuded a terrifying pressure.

With those words, everyone present felt a heaviness settle over them. Martial artists of lower strength found it impossible to breathe, as if their bodies were restrained by an unseen force.

Jing Yan was closest to Gui Zhen, directly bearing the brunt.

However, a faint divine power flowed over Jing Yan’s body, easily blocking the pressure outside.

A cold smile appeared on Jing Yan’s face.

”Gui Zhen, I’m not accusing you. Instead, I’m demanding justice for those Luli Divine Domain martial artists who died at your hands. They can’t die in vain!” Jing Yan shouted defiantly.

”Hahaha...”

”What an audacious child!”

”Jing Yan, I’ll see how you seek justice for them! Today, I’ll kill everyone here, and we’ll see what you can do!” Gui Zhen God Lord, inherently ruthless and violent in temperament, couldn’t control his rage when challenged by Jing Yan.

He stood up violently, his eyes boiling with murder. A vast killing intent quickly enveloped the entire Domain Lord Mansion. Everyone here was trapped under his power.

Everyone present turned pale.

Lord Xin Bian was extremely anxious. He wanted to speak, but under Gui Zhen’s overpowering wrath, he couldn’t even utter a word.

Senior Brother Xiao Ying, too, anxiously watched Jing Yan. Though enraged by Gui Zhen’s actions, he didn’t want Jing Yan to provoke Gui Zhen further. His eyes were fixed on Jing Yan, hoping Jing Yan wouldn’t further anger Gui Zhen God Lord.

But at this moment, Jing Yan didn’t look at Senior Brother Xiao Ying.

”Gui Zhen, since I’m here, you won’t kill anyone here!” Jing Yan lightly shook his head.

Then, he waved his arm gently.
