The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Youngest Dao Spirit Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Youngest Dao Spirit Zhao Qi was about to call Jing Yan back, but upon hearing Hu Yang’s words, he swallowed the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

The third combatant from North Peak, Duan Lin, was so frightened at this point that he dared not enter the arena.

If Jing Yan were called back now, who would North Peak send to fight the third round?

“Peak Master Zhao Qi, since Jing Yan is determined to fight for North Peak, let him do it!” the Punishment Hall Master, Ying Youque, said.

Zhao Qi glanced at Ying Youque!

He was also aware of the conflicts between Jing Yan and the Punishment Hall.

In Ying Youque’s heart, there had probably always been grievances against Jing Yan.

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment before saying, “Jing Yan!

You must measure your strength.”

“Don’t worry, Peak Master!” Jing Yan looked toward the platform and smiled as he spoke.

In the arena, Jing Yan stood opposite Deng Qing!

“Kid, you’ve got quite the nerve!” Deng Qing stared at Jing Yan, genuinely surprised that Jing Yan dared to confront him.

“You’re wrong, my courage has actually always been small.” Jing Yan said with a cold smile.

“You say your courage is small?

Then why dare you enter the arena to face me?

Are you not afraid I’ll kill you?” Deng Qing shouted.

“Deng Qing, you’re wrong again!

I’m confronting you not because of my courage but because you, Deng Qing, are not enough to make me feel fear.

As for your talk of killing me, it’s even more of a joke.

With your strength, you’re far from able to kill me!” Jing Yan said with an airy demeanor.

“Kid, you’re seeking death!” Deng Qing shouted angrily.

Jing Yan’s attitude was simply an insult to him!

He, Deng Qing, was one of the top three ranked under fifty years old in South Peak, who dared to ignore him regularly?

And yet the Jing Yan standing before him now seemed utterly indifferent.

For Deng, that was the ultimate humiliation!

“Swoosh!” Deng Qing’s arm moved, and a purple longsword suddenly appeared.

Seeing Deng Qing draw his weapon, Jing Yan’s Skyfire Sword was also instantly drawn, with red sword light surging in front of him.

“Jing Yan, today I will let you die understanding why!

Weren’t you asking why I smashed your stele?

Hmph, you probably don’t know the relationship between Qian Zhen and me.

Killing you is avenging Qian Zhen!” A fierce light flickered in Deng Qing’s eyes.

“Less nonsense, let’s get on with it!” Jing Yan shouted quietly.

At the same time, they both unleashed Martial Arts attacks at each other.

Instantly, within the space they occupied, terrifyingly powerful sword light and sword light swept out, enveloping the area in two types of light halos.

The people from North Peak watched with fear and trepidation.

They were afraid of seeing Jing Yan killed by Deng Qing with a single slash.

As for the Martial Artists around the square, their eyes widened; they didn’t care whether Jing Yan lived or died.

If Jing Yan were killed with one strike, they would only find it more thrilling.

Jing Yan’s decision to confront Deng Qing was his own.

Without enough strength, insisting on making an appearance and showing off, if he died, he had no one else to blame.

“Boom!”

The first clash between the two ended.

A shocking scene ensued!

Jing Yan was standing there unharmed.

The expected scenario had not occurred.

What was going on?

Jing Yan’s expression seemed very relaxed, as if Deng Qing’s attack hadn’t put any pressure on him.

In contrast, Deng Qing looked somewhat distressed.

Even Zhao Qi and Hu Yang, the two Peak Masters, were somewhat stunned.

Zhao Qi found it hard to believe; he had never expected Jing Yan to be capable of fighting Deng Qing.

Before Jing Yan had made his move, he had been worried that Jing Yan would be directly slain.

“Dao Spirit Realm?”

“This Jing Yan, has he advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm?” Hu Yang muttered.

At this moment, Hu Yang was extremely shocked, incredibly so.

He had never expected Jing Yan to be a Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm.

Hu Yang was knowledgeable about Jing Yan’s situation; after all, Jing Yan was a Martial Artist who had obtained the Golden Order through the Sky Crossing Array and possessed immense Martial Arts talent.

However, it had been less than two years since Jing Yan had joined the Dao Yi Academy.

And a little over a year ago, when Jing Yan had confronted and killed Qian Zhen, he was still in the Innate Realm, a fact beyond doubt.

That meant, in just over a year, Jing Yan had advanced from the Innate Realm to becoming a Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm.

This was somewhat shockingly remarkable.

Frankly, both Hu Yang and Zhao Qi believed that Jing Yan becoming a Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist in the future wouldn’t be a problem.

But even if it didn’t take several decades, it should at least take over five years, right?

How long has it been, and Jing Yan is now a Martial Artist of the Dao Spirit Realm?

At that moment, Hu Yang remembered his own words earlier, feeling relieved that Jing Yan had not chosen South Peak; his face suddenly felt somewhat burning.

Had such a talent chosen South Peak, he would have welcomed him with open arms.

Joy appeared on Zhao Qi’s face; Jing Yan’s performance greatly exceeded his expectations.

Initially, when Jing Yan hadn’t yet advanced to Innate, he could kill Qian Zhen, a Martial Artist of the Early Dao Spirit Realm.

Now that Jing Yan had achieved Cultivation in the Dao Spirit Realm, facing off against Deng Qing, he should be able to hold his own.

As long as he didn’t lose too badly, then both North Peak and he, as the Peak Master, could still save some face!

“Indeed, it’s the Dao Spirit Realm!”

“Jing Yan is only twenty years old, right?

To be in the Dao Spirit Realm at such an age!

Tsk tsk…perhaps he is the youngest Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist in the history of our Dao Yi Academy!”

“Correct!

If I remember correctly, Jing Yan is indeed the fastest among our students ever to advance to the Dao Spirit Realm!” the elders also spoke up.

The numerous students around the square were also stunned at this point, a dark mass of people becoming incredibly quiet.

“Jing Yan!

I underestimated you; I didn’t expect you to be in the Dao Spirit Realm already!” At this moment, Deng Qing’s face returned to normal, and he slowly said while staring at Jing Yan.

“Now you know, and it’s not too late!” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Deng Qing, I’m giving you a chance to live!

Now, apologize for smashing my stele, and I won’t kill you.”

“Think it over!

If you refuse to apologize, then today, you will die here,” Jing Yan said indifferently.

From their first exchange, Jing Yan had already gauged Deng Qing’s strength.

Although Deng Qing had yet to use any secret techniques, the difference wasn’t significant for Jing Yan.

“Ridiculous!

You’re really dreaming!

Apologize?

Heh, kid, I’m going to kill you!” Deng Qing shouted furiously, and his purple longsword transformed into a myriad of sword lights, his figure darting towards Jing Yan.

“Courting death!” Jing Yan’s aura condensed.

“Sky Wings!”

“Flash Spirit Secret Technique!”

“Holy Light Sword Technique!”

The chance had already been given to Deng Qing.

Since Deng Qing was unwilling to apologize and still wanted to kill him, Jing Yan no longer needed to hold back.

The Sky Wings elevated Jing Yan’s speed to an extremely terrifying degree.

The Flash Spirit Secret Technique, in addition, enhanced the attack speed of the Holy Light Sword Technique, making Jing Yan’s attacks so fast that even the strong ones in the Dao Spirit Realm would find it difficult to catch.
