The Sword God of the Universe

Patriarch Liu glared with anxiety in his eyes.

His voice was low as he spoke, wanting to warn but knowing that if Jing Yan could hear him, so could Song Zhongshan. He didn't want to start a war between the Song and Liu families just yet, so he could only grumble to himself with a helpless look.

Not far away, Hu Clan Leader was of a similar mind.

Both men held their breath, fixating their gaze on Jing Yan!

But this time, Jing Yan had no intention of dodging. Instead, he hovered calmly in the air. His eyes, bright as the starry sky, watched Song Zhongshan charge towards him like a ferocious beast.

"Why isn't he moving?"

"Is he waiting for Song Zhongshan to get closer? There's no escape then! Fly away, aren't you fast?" Patriarch Liu and Hu Clan Leader thought anxiously as they wrung their hands.

"Shh!"

What they awaited wasn't Jing Yan swiftly dodging; it was instead a sword strike he unleashed towards Song Zhongshan.

This strike seemed extremely casual.

The Red Sword Light drew a long, red tail flame in the air, sweeping towards Song Zhongshan.

"Roar!" Song Zhongshan bellowed.

His black giant hammer smashed fiercely towards the Sword Light, while a cruel smile appeared on his lips. Now that he was close to Jing Yan, if he could shatter this Sword Light, then next moment, he'd be able to smash Jing Yan's head with a heavy blow.

He intended to smash Jing Yan's brain to smithereens!

"Bang!"

Song Zhongshan's face suddenly changed dramatically.

When his black giant hammer came in contact with the Red Sword Light, all he felt was a slight numbness throughout his body. Then, the heavy hammer slipped out of his hand, the force far beyond his control.

Following that, the ferocious Red Sword Light continued downward, slicing through his body.

Song Zhongshan, suspended in air, shivered slightly. The life in his eyes rapidly faded, yet there was a deep-seated fear in that gaze.

After a breath's pause, Song Zhongshan's body finally began to fall toward the ground.

Off in the distance on the street.

Zhang Yibing and other Zhang Family members were still stepping closer to the Song Family Mansion.

"The Song Family Patriarch and Mr. Jing Yan are fighting!"

"Mr. Jing Yan left the Flame Adventure Team and actually came to the Song Family! Who would have thought they'd start killing so soon."

"Yes! Mr. Jing Yan is truly a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse. Poor us in the Zhang Family, we were truly blind." An elder from the Zhang Family said with emotion.

When Jing Yan had initially brought Zhang Min's corpse back for thousands of miles, the Zhangs had doubted his intentions, suspecting he was after a reward from them. Only after Jing Yan gave Zhang Yu resources worth over two million Spirit Stones did they realize Jing Yan's sincerity. Yet still, they had underestimated him.

Thinking about it was funny. They had actually tried to stop the good relations between Jing Yan and Zhang Yu! How foolish!

"What's going on?"

Zhang Yibing and others narrowed their eyes as they saw something.

They actually saw Song Zhongshan falling from the sky. Under that one sword strike, Song Zhongshan's weapon was knocked out of his hand, and even Song Zhongshan himself plummeted downwards.

In an instant, they understood that even if Song Zhongshan wasn't dead, he was definitely severely injured. This meant, in the confrontation between Jing Yan and Song Zhongshan, the latter was no match for Jing Yan.

All the Zhang Family members, including the numerous Martial Artists who had long since arrived to watch the fight on the street, were all gaping in shock.

"Song Zhongshan... was killed?" Patriarch Liu uttered in disbelief.

Hu Clan Leader also stood frozen on the spot. Song Zhongshan, a Middle Dao Spirit Realm Cultivator, was killed by a single sword stroke?

What kind of monster was this Jing Yan?

Even though they had seen Song Zhongshan slain by Jing Yan with their own eyes, they still found it hard to believe. Song Zhongshan had led the Song Family, along with their Liu and Hu Families, as first-rate families in Haofeng City. They had never imagined that Song Zhongshan would die like this!

They had indeed always disliked Song Zhongshan. Known for his ruthless and tyrannical nature, he was a vengeful and brutal man. Yet, witnessing Song Zhongshan's death, they still felt a pang of melancholy. A powerful Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artist like Song Zhongshan had simply died. Their own Cultivation wasn't even comparable to Song Zhongshan's; perhaps death for them too could occur unexpectedly one day.

With the death of Song Family Patriarch Song Zhongshan, the entire Song Family went into chaos.

The numerous Song Family Disciples below were completely disorganized.

Some who were more faint-hearted were frantically looking for places to hide. Others, driven by rage and forgetting their fear, wielded their weapons, activating their Primordial Energy to attack Jing Yan in the air.

These attacks posed no threat to Jing Yan. But still, Jing Yan intended to counterattack.

Because from the beginning, he was motivated by the Flames and had performed this series of killings. If the anger of the Song Family members couldn't be controlled, even with the death of Song Zhongshan, the rest of the Song Family might still seek revenge against the Flame Adventure Team.

His Skyfire Sword flashed with Red Sword Light again, ready to continue bombarding those stronger Song Family members who were attacking him below.

"Shh!" Sword Light spread out again, gathering in the air before surging downward!

"Young man!"

Just then, a voice from Cang Long suddenly came from deep within the Song Family Mansion.

This voice carried an indescribable weight.

Following that, a burst of purple brilliance suddenly soared into the sky. The light, containing astonishing power, seemed to envelop the entire world. The entire sky was cast in purple.

This purple Light Halo rapidly spun, forming a vortex, blocking all the Sword Light unleashed by Jing Yan.

Jing Yan's gaze sharply concentrated, revealing a hint of shock, his deep eyes directed towards the depths of the Song Family Mansion.

Unexpectedly, within the Song Family, besides Song Zhongshan, the Dao Spirit Realm Clan Leader, there was an even more terrifying Martial Artist hidden. And this Martial Artist's strength far surpassed Song Zhongshan's.

"Cough~ Cough!" Heavy coughing sounds followed.

Accompanying the coughing, a slightly hunched figure gradually emerged.

As this figure continuously stepped forward, his body slowly rose higher, finally suspending in midair.

As this newly appeared figure was scrutinized, a wary look flashed across Jing Yan's eyes. This elder appeared extremely aged, his Life Force seemingly waning. But the aura around him was like a burning flame, striking fear into the heart.

"Old Clan Leader?"

"The Old Clan Leader is still alive!"

"Haha, our Song Family's Old Clan Leader is still here! The Old Clan Leader is alive! Haha…"

Some older Martial Artists of the Song Family, upon seeing this elder, had faces filled with madness!

The newly emerged elder was none other than the Old Clan Leader of the Song Family.
