The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1467: Contempt

Jing Yan was courteous to the Martial Artists at the dojo, whether they were Loose Cultivators or members of the seven top-tier forces.

He specifically explained and expressed apologies before he intended to confront Kun Long.

This attitude left people quite satisfied. Many nodded in agreement, indicating they didn’t mind a little delay after Jing Yan spoke.

In truth, the Martial Artists present were all very strong God Lord powerhouses, aged but powerful, some even arriving a year or two early to attend the All Paths Assembly. How could they care about Jing Yan and Kun Long’s duel taking up some time?

Even if they fought for days or weeks, it wouldn’t matter much to them.

Of course, they all knew Jing Yan was at the Divine Sovereign Level, and Kun Long likely couldn’t kill Jing Yan. If Jing Yan’s life was in danger, they might be worried, because their main purpose for coming was to compete for Elixirs. If Jing Yan were to die, what would happen to the auction of Elixirs?

So, if Jing Yan was comparatively weaker, some of them would surely demand the Elixir auction proceed before settling other matters.

”Kun Long, let’s go!” Jing Yan looked at Kun Long and swiftly moved first.

Kun Long sneered and immediately followed.

He didn’t want to appear weak in front of so many people. Besides, he wasn’t afraid of Jing Yan at all.

The Northern Branch Spiritual Mountain group that came with Kun Long remained in place, each with different expressions, but their gaze mostly focused on Mountain Master Kun Long.

”Sect Master Zhuang, what do you think?”

A red-faced Martial Artist sitting in the front row looked at an elder in a brown robe beside him and asked with a smile.

This person is Ding Luo, Sect Master of the Purple Beauty Sect, one of the seven top-tier forces of the All Paths World, and a Divine Sovereign Level powerhouse.

The Sect Master Zhuang he referred to is Zhuang Yan, Sect Master of the True Yang Sect, another top-tier force!

”Though I’m not familiar with Saint Master Jing Yan, it doesn’t seem like an impulsive act made out of anger.” Zhuang Yan chuckled and shook his head.

”Do you think Saint Master Jing Yan is doing this deliberately? If so, why? What benefits does it bring to him or the All Paths Spirit Mountain?” Ding Luo asked consecutively.

”Does Sect Master Ding have any insights?” Zhuang Yan turned and asked Ding Luo.

”Haha...” Ding Luo smiled.

”Saint Master Jing Yan is nominally the Holy Master of the All Paths Sacred Land. Regardless of whether the four branches in the southeast, northwest admit it, he has received recognition from our branch. In terms of title, he is a tier higher than Kun Long Mountain Master. Now he says he wants to clear the sect, meaning he intends to kill Kun Long. However, Kun Long is a Divine Sovereign Realm Martial Artist; he wants to kill Kun Long, but it’s not realistic.”

”He can’t kill Kun Long yet intends to fight him. First, that’s lowering his status. Second, it will make members of the four branches in the southeast, northwest look down even more on the All Paths Spirit Mountain. They will think Saint Master Jing Yan is nothing special.”

”I’ve thought it over, and I can’t find a reason for Saint Master Jing Yan to do this.” Ding Luo said slowly.

”I’m mostly in agreement with Sect Master Ding’s view. However, there’s a slight difference. Although Saint Master Jing Yan is young, he has a deep mind. I think the only possibility is that he has confidence to kill Kun Long without using the Big Array of All Paths Spirit Mountain.” Zhuang Yan said, slightly shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Ding Luo’s pupils shrank.

”How is that possible? We all know Kun Long’s strength, which isn’t much inferior compared to you two. To kill Kun Long, a Divine Sovereign Realm God Lord, is not easy.” Sect Master Ding whispered.

”I also have this doubt. Sect Master Ding, let’s just watch and see. In any case, Saint Master Jing Yan must have his reasons. If he wasn’t confident in killing Kun Long, I feel he wouldn’t have turned against Kun Long at the All Paths Assembly.” The True Yang Sect Master Zhuang Yan also showed a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The eyes of the Martial Artists present were all focused on the sky.

By now, Jing Yan and Kun Long were above the clouds, outside the scope of the All Paths Spirit Mountain’s array barrier. The two figures were faintly visible, confronting each other from a distance.

”Supreme Elder, what do you think the Holy Master intends to do?” Elder Chang Kong furrowed his brows, looking towards the sky with some concern, and asked softly.

”I can’t say for sure.” Ruo Bing shook her head.

”The Holy Master’s confrontation with that scoundrel Kun Long, if he can’t defeat Kun Long, it will surely be a huge blow to the All Paths Spirit Mountain,” Elder Chang Kong’s voice lowered further.

”The Holy Master must have assessed this long ago; we should be at ease. Since the Holy Master has taken action, he must have his reasons. As for Kun Long, what is he?” Viper Elder, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed.

Although he had just joined the All Paths Spirit Mountain not long ago and had only seen Jing Yan twice before joining, for some reason, he had extraordinary confidence in Jing Yan. In his heart, he felt Jing Yan was capable of anything. Why he had this feeling, even Viper himself did not know.

It was precisely this feeling that led him to the All Paths Spirit Mountain and made him want to join it.

Elder Chang Kong looked at Viper.

Ruo Bing Supreme Elder also looked at Viper with astonishment. The other elders of the All Paths Spirit Mountain felt a sense of helplessness upon hearing Viper Elder’s words. Was this Viper Elder worshipping Saint Master Jing Yan too much?

Meanwhile, Ma Zhi and others eagerly watched the sky, lips curled upward, awaiting the spectacle.

...

”Heh heh...”

”Jing Yan, this is far enough. Weren’t you going to kill me? Come on! Let this Mountain Master see what kind of skills you have,” Kun Long hovered in place, eyes fixed on Jing Yan, his tone somewhat disdainful.

His tone was disdainful, but in reality, he was very cautious. He had many doubts, so he was extremely vigilant, always on guard for whether Jing Yan had some special trick to threaten him.

Kun Long Mountain Master was constantly channeling Divine Power, his Divine Thought spread out, ready to respond to Jing Yan’s lethal move at any moment.

However, Jing Yan didn’t rush to make a move, nor did he employ any special tricks to ambush him.

Jing Yan only looked at Kun Long with an indifferent gaze, and Kun Long could sense that Jing Yan’s indifference wasn’t feigned—it was genuine disdain from the depths of his heart. From Jing Yan, Kun Long couldn’t even feel any previous anger.

This feeling even made Kun Long somewhat uneasy.

”What in the world is going on?”

”Could it be that this Jing Yan is really confident in killing me? But how is that possible! In the All Paths World, the number of people who could kill me is too few!”

”Damn it, I’m not scared easily! What storms haven’t I weathered, would I be afraid of this kid?” Kun Long gritted his teeth, determined at heart.
