The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459: Intimidation

Colorful Sword Light, tearing through space. Wherever it passed, the space seemed to transform into a realm of chaos. However, there was no intense power fluctuation spreading from the sword shadow.

Zhang He, locked by the sword shadow, first sneered with disdain. Immediately, the smile on his face froze. He felt as though the space around him was sealed by an incredible force, enveloped by a power that made his heart palpitate.

He sensed the breath of death!

”Not good!”

”Damn, how can his strength be so formidable?” Zhang He was also an Emperor Level God Lord, and in the All Paths World, he was among the top-tier powerhouses.

It could be said his reaction was extremely quick, as he fiercely slashed out with a series of blade lights from his black long blade weapon, attempting to block the sword shadow.

However, under Jing Yan’s Chaos Sword, his defense seemed very fragile. Those blade lights, possessing vast power, were swiftly shattered and destroyed by the sword shadow.

”Damn! Damn! I’ve been had, this little bastard is actually a Divine Sovereign powerhouse!” Zhang He panicked, roaring out loud.

Meanwhile, he quickly took out an item the size of a palm, with mysterious space law fluctuations flowing on it.

Jing Yan sensed this fluctuation, immediately understanding that Zhang He also possessed a special space treasure, similar to the Flying Sky Talisman refined by his mentor, Zhan Yue God Emperor.

Back when Jing Yan first encountered Viper and wanted to kill the Viper Emperor, the Viper Emperor used a similar special space treasure to successfully escape.

Now the special space treasure that Zhang He took out was also a similar treasure.

Jing Yan’s eyes condensed, staring at Zhang He’s figure.

Zhang He was quite straightforward. After realizing Jing Yan was a Divine Sovereign Realm God Lord, he had no intention of lingering or entangling further. He directly took out the space treasure and activated it.

The mysterious space law instantly stirred within the space. Zhang He’s figure also became twisted and vague.

However, this time, Zhang He did not have the luck of Viper. Back then, Jing Yan hadn’t yet comprehended such a method as the Chaos Sword when he wanted to kill Viper. But now, with the Chaos Sword infused with the power of time and space, and with Jing Yan fully reaching the Divine Sovereign Level, even as Zhang He’s figure twisted and quickly faded, seemingly about to escape through the void, that eerie colorful sword shadow still pursued relentlessly.

”Ah...”

In the void, Zhang He let out a miserable scream.

Although he used a treasure similar to the Flying Sky Talisman, he still couldn’t escape.

When using such treasures, in most cases, even a Divine Sovereign strong one couldn’t stop the martial artist from triggering the treasure. However, Jing Yan’s terrifying attack method, the Chaos Sword, tracked down Zhang He’s trace along the space law’s remnants and then killed him.

After Zhang He’s scream echoed, his corpse manifested from the void and dropped down. Jing Yan flicked his finger and collected the resources left on him.

Seeing a significant figure from their Spiritual Mountain, Elder Zhang He, being killed with one sword, the remaining martial artists of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain stood in stunned silence, staring at Jing Yan with terror-stricken eyes.

What kind of strength is this?

This is definitely a Divine Sovereign! Moreover, even an ordinary Divine Sovereign couldn’t kill Elder Zhang He with just one sword, right?

The martial artists of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain didn’t dare to make a sound, not even breathing heavily. Even an Emperor Level God Lord like Elder Zhang He was killed by just one sword, so those people, even if they joined forces, couldn’t withstand even a finger of Saint Master Jing Yan.

No one dared to speak.

Not only were the martial artists of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain in shock, but also those from the All Paths Spirit Mountain Main Branch held their breath. None of these people expected that their Spiritual Mountain’s new Holy Master would be such a terrifying powerhouse.

Killing Zhang He with one sword, it’s terrifying.

The martial artists of the All Paths Sacred Land Main Branch looked at Zhang He’s corpse and then at Holy Master Jing Yan, as if trying to confirm whether what they saw was real or a hallucination.

Jing Yan’s gaze shifted, looking at the martial artists of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain.

”Zhang He had no respect for the Holy Master, slaughtered fellow sect members, and his crimes were heinous. His actions have already betrayed the All Paths Sacred Land. I killed Zhang He to clean up our house.”

”You all, are you not Zhang He’s accomplices, are you?” Jing Yan stared at the crowd and spoke in a low voice.

”No...”

”Holy Master, we are not accomplices of Elder Zhang He... not of Zhang He’s party. We, we dare not be disrespectful to Holy Master.”

”We dare not betray the All Paths Sacred Land!”

”Right, right, we are all disciples of the All Paths Sacred Land. We were before, and we will be in the future!”

The numerous martial artists of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain quickly spoke up. Their words were not entirely due to the fear of Jing Yan’s power. Deep down, they truly considered themselves part of the All Paths Sacred Land.

When they realized Jing Yan’s identity earlier on, they all became very compliant.

”Very well!”

”Although you are disciples of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain, the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain is also a power of the All Paths Sacred Land. Alright, now you all can disperse!” Jing Yan waved his hand, letting the crowd of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain disperse.

”Thank you, Holy Master!” The martial artists of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain quickly left, still shaken, returning to their controlled region of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain.

...

Northern Branch Spirit Mountain!

The news of Elder Zhang He’s slaying quickly reached there.

Zhang He had been at the junction for several years without any incidents. During these years, the All Paths Spirit Mountain also hadn’t dispatched any Emperor Level Elders to tangle with Elder Zhang He.

This numbed Kunlong Mountain Master and all the high echelons of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain.

Therefore, when the news of Elder Zhang He’s slaying came back, all the high-ranking figures of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain were dumbfounded.

They couldn’t believe the news at all.

How could Elder Zhang He be slain?

An Emperor Level God Lord, how could he die like this? In the main branch, only Ruo Bing Supreme Elder could easily kill Elder Zhang He head-on, right? But Ruo Bing is the stabilizing force of the main branch and generally doesn’t easily leave the All Paths Spirit Mountain!

If it wasn’t that old fellow Ruo Bing, then what exactly happened?

The elders and the Mountain Master of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain soon had answers to their doubts as detailed information quickly came in. Elder Zhang He, as they speculated, wasn’t killed by Ruo Bing but by the new Holy Master, Jing Yan.

However, an even larger mystery arose in their hearts—who exactly is Jing Yan, and how can he possess the power to kill Elder Zhang He?

In the Council Hall, the face of Mountain Master Kunlong was so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Although the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain had more than ten Emperor Level Elders, each one was extremely important. Losing just one would reduce the power of the Northern Branch Spirit Mountain. And the even worse news was that the Holy Master from the main branch, Jing Yan, proved that his previous evaluation was entirely wrong.

Previously, Kunlong hadn’t taken the new Holy Master seriously. And it was precisely this negligence that led to such a drastic turn of events.
