The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2129: Escape

The group led by Ying Zhu didn’t know, that for Jing Yan, this wasn’t truly a breakthrough, but more accurately a restoration of his realm.

In the Chaos World, Jing Yan had already stepped into the Title Controller, which is the Immortal Rhythm Nether Sky Realm of the Immortal Domain.

Jing Yan’s aura was rapidly ascending at this moment, and all the cultivators inside and outside the Divine Martial City held their breath.

"Nether Sky Realm! This kid... actually broke through at this moment!" Ji Bian’s body trembled slightly.

Even at the All Things Realm level, his combat power was so astonishing, so how strong would Jing Yan at the Nether Sky Realm be? Ji Bian suddenly had a vague feeling of unease in his heart.

The All Things Realm and the Nether Sky Realm are two stages.

"Die! Just die!" Ji Bian roared, his body filled with violent Divine Power, he unleashed his strongest spell to kill Jing Yan.

He tried to kill Jing Yan before he became familiar with the abilities of the Nether Sky Realm, thinking Jing Yan’s realm might not be stable just after breakthrough.

But he miscalculated.

Typically, a cultivator who just breaks through does need to stabilize their realm and get used to their power, but for Jing Yan, this step was unnecessary. Jing Yan wielded the power of the Nether Sky Realm with ease.

"Space Voidification!"

"Ancient Tree Inheritance!"

"Seven Luminaries Technique!" As Jing Yan swung his arm, a gigantic Sword Light from the Ice Flame Sword was released, surrounded by seven blazing circles formed by the Seven Luminaries Technique.

The terrifying powers collided violently in space, creating a storm of heat waves and the aura of destruction, sweeping across the entire Divine Martial City. Fortunately, the Big Array within and outside the city, though severely damaged earlier, still provided a decent defense; otherwise, the scorching waves and the destructive power alone could have killed most of the cultivators within Divine Martial City.

The two figures in the air both retreated some distance.

On the surface, in this clash between Jing Yan and Ji Bian, Jing Yan seemed not to be at a clear disadvantage anymore. Jing Yan, who had just restored to the Nether Sky Realm level, could already match Ji Bian, who specialized in attacks.

Ji Bian steadied himself, exhaled deeply, his gaze fixed on Jing Yan with a complex shine in his eyes.

As a strong figure at the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm level, Ji Bian was infamous across the Divine Continent. Yet today, he faced a young cultivator who just broke through to the Nether Sky Realm and couldn’t eliminate him.

Before coming to the Divine Martial City, Ji Bian was confident, even thinking he wouldn’t need to act or show himself. He believed just Zu Ming and others could flatten the Ying Family Territory. Yet in the end, he took action himself and still couldn’t achieve the desired result.

This attack was almost his highest attacking power; he pushed his Divine Power to the limit, used his most powerful spell, and still couldn’t suppress this young man who had just broken through.

"I am not willing!"

"This kid must have entered the remains of a strong figure from the Void Transformation Lineage, which very likely belonged to a powerful Immortal Venerable level. How much treasure would be inside such strong one’s relics? The Immortal Charm Voidification Treasure that was put up for auction should have been just an ordinary item!"

"Damn! Despicable!" Ji Bian roared inwardly.

He truly was unwilling to retreat like this.

"Divine Soul Wind Blade!" Jing Yan steadied his body, his eyes narrowed slightly, initiating a Divine Soul Attack.

After returning to the Nether Sky Realm level, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Attack power had undoubtedly been significantly enhanced. At this moment, the Divine Soul Wind Blade’s attack power was no longer comparable to when Jing Yan was at the All Things Realm level.

The invisible Divine Soul Wind Blade silently approached Ji Bian.

"Hmm?" Ji Bian sensed it.

After all, he was a strong figure at the Immortal Rhythm level and already knew Jing Yan could perform Divine Soul Attacks, so he was on guard.

"Trying to sneak attack me?" Ji Bian shouted angrily.

For Divine Soul Attacks to achieve their best effect, they should be when the enemy is unaware. Once the enemy detects it in advance, the effect is greatly reduced.

However, due to Jing Yan’s realm improvement, the Divine Soul Attack power significantly increased, so even though Ji Bian was pre-aware, when the Divine Soul Wind Blade aimed to annihilate at his Divine Soul Body, it still had a certain impact on him.

Seven dazzling circles reappeared.

Jing Yan didn’t expect the Divine Soul Attack alone to cause significant damage to Ji Bian, so after executing the Divine Soul Wind Blade, he immediately used methods like the Ancient Tree Inheritance and Seven Luminaries Technique.

"Boom!"

Ji Bian was affected by the Divine Soul Wind Blade’s attack, so he was slightly unprepared for the ensuing Seven Luminaries Technique. His body was blasted thousands of meters away in the void, even his robe was somewhat tattered by the burning from the Seven Luminaries Technique. His Divine Power fluctuated all over his body, and his Divine Soul even had a momentary daze.

"You damn brat, just you wait. I will never let you go." Ji Bian gritted his teeth, saying this vicious line before trying to escape.

He couldn’t kill Jing Yan.

In the current situation, if the fight continued, he might fall at Jing Yan’s hands. Though Ji Bian’s character was savage, he was also extremely cunning and insidious. Otherwise, he might not have survived until today. He had many enemies, yet he lived till now. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, he thought of escaping first.

As for Zu Ming and others, he couldn’t care less, his life was more important. Whether Zu Ming and others could escape from Jing Yan’s grasp depended on their own destiny!

Zu Ming and others had been watching Jing Yan and Ji Bian, and seeing Ji Bian getting blasted away, their faces turned pale, the coldness within them growing stronger. When they heard Ji Bian’s words, they were even more frightened. Jing Yan, at the All Things Realm level, could keep killing those of them at the Nether Sky Realm level, now at the Nether Sky Realm, how could they be opponents?

"Mr. Ji Bian, you... you can’t leave!" Zu Ming hurriedly shouted.

If Ji Bian were to leave, they would all probably die here! Lord Zu Ming did not want to die.

"Useless trash, resolve the trouble you caused yourselves." Ji Bian’s voice came through.

Zu Ming heard this, and his eyes instantly filled with rage. Damn bastard, if not for you wanting to attack Ying Family Territory, I wouldn’t have done this! Now you just pat your butt and leave? Bastard!

Zu Ming almost wanted to tear Ji Bian apart.

Jing Yan watched Ji Bian turn and flee, but didn’t give chase. To kill Ji Bian now was indeed very difficult. If Ji Bian were to fight till the end, Jing Yan did have some confidence to exhaust him to death. But even then, stopping him from leaving was truly difficult. Especially as he had just restored to the Nether Sky Realm, and although there was no instability in his realm, having just recovered, his Divine Power hadn’t reached the Peak level.

So if Ji Bian escaped, letting him go was the only option.
