Chapter 631: Chapter 067: Killing Duan Xinghun by Force!
"Oh? That’s interesting, has my ranking made it into the top thirty of the Sword Burial Ancestor Star?"
Zhou Yan chuckled.
"It hadn’t before, but now it definitely has. Moreover, this decision ca from the Saints themselves, naturally beyond doubt," Jiang Wannian explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan nodded thoughtfully.
The two spoke, unintentionally leaving Yuan Kui out of the conversation.
"Zhou Yan? You’re Zhou Yan? I think your strength isn’t enough to make it into the top thirty. The Saints said that those who disagree can challenge the decision, as long as they don’t fight to the death. I believe my brother Yuan Xing is much stronger than you!"
Yuan Kui, having heard Jiang Wannian’s words, finally realized that this young man, whom even Yun Shu and Jiang Wannian treated with respect, was the famously rising Zhou Yan, the subject of astounding rumors!
But having a reputation is different from eting in person, and upon seeing Zhou Yan, Yuan Kui didn’t find him particularly impressive, seemingly just average.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan’s realm was rely at the peak of the Nine Changes of Sword Void, not yet having reached the Sword Tribulation Realm.
As the saying goes, below the Sword Tribulation, there are no geniuses. After seeing Zhou Yan’s realm, Yuan Kui imdiately stopped taking him seriously.
Yuan Kui’s provocation only earned a casual glance from Zhou Yan.
Yes, Zhou Yan didn’t even give him a proper look.
Yuan Kui felt his blood boiling with fury, as if he was going to explode—he was genuinely enraged by Zhou Yan’s dismissive gesture.
But at that mont, an inexplicable and deadly sensation pressed heavily upon him. Instinctively looking at Zhou Yan, he saw a terrifying blood light in his eyes.
In that blood light’s world, endless killing intent seed to burst forth, plunging him into a terrible cycle of reincarnation, a fate worse than death.
Yuan Kui’s heart quivered violently, with even his soul trembling—he seed to see a pair of blood-red, evil, and chilling eyes staring intently at him.
"What, a Heart Demon! What is this technique, calling forth my Five Decays of Heaven and Man! This person, this person is terrifying!"
Yuan Kui felt a chill throughout his body, almost scared to death. He imdiately fell silent, the anger that was about to explode completely dissipated.
That mont, though but an instant, felt as long as an entire cycle of reincarnation. In the span of a breath, Yuan Kui felt as if he’d been fished out of water.
Zhou Yan continued to joke and talk with Jiang Wannian, as if he hadn’t looked back at all, Yuan Kui bowed to him inexplicably and without another word, made his escape.
"What happened, Yuan Kui, sudden illness? Could it be the Five Decays of Heaven and Man coming on? Look at how pitiful you are, haha."
A mocking voice rang out.
"Duan Xinghun, who do you think you are to ddle in my affairs!"
Yuan Kui retorted angrily.
"Hmph, what if I do ddle? Now, in Nine Origin Heavenly City, they profess to build the Genius Divine Domain, gathering genius children from all domains, strictly forbidding deadly fights. What can you do to ? Besides, with the Double Saints of Yuhun Island here, I advise you to be careful. Otherwise, if I catch you during the Five Decays, I’ll force you into several fights, and you won’t end well,"
A lean young man nad ’Duan Xinghun’ said with a cold smile.
At that mont, Duan Xinghun noticed that Yuan Kui was inexplicably staring behind him with an unbelievable and inexplicably ’excited’ look.
"Huh? What’s with that look?"
Duan Xinghun was confused.
Soon after, he turned his head only to see the black-robed, combat-armored young man nad ’Zhou Yan’ looking at him with a chill in his gaze.
"What is it, kid, got any advice for ?"
Duan Xinghun said arrogantly.
"So, you’re Duan Xinghun, aren’t you?"
Zhou Yan’s voice was calm.
"That’s right, grandpa here is Duan Xinghun, strong enough for a second refinent in Sword Tribulation, a True Sword Tribulation with a combat power exceeding one. What do you want? Begging to grovel at my feet? Your cultivation is too low; I don’t look up to you!"
Duan Xinghun sneered, his gaze condescending.
"Brother Wan Nian, does Nine Origin Heavenly City have a rule that one can’t fight to the death or cripple another’s cultivation?"
Zhou Yan suddenly asked Jiang Wannian.
"That’s true, the rules are very strict. It’s to ensure that geniuses can concentrate more and avoid unnecessary losses."
Upon hearing Zhou Yan’s question, Jiang Wannian’s heart sank, sensing sothing bad was about to happen.
Zhou Yan was soone who did not adhere to the heavens, and certainly wouldn’t care about the Saints’ view.
Therefore, his expression changed as he said, "Brother Zhou, you absolutely mustn’t... mustn’t challenge the Saints’ dignity..."
"No, of course not, how could I?"
Zhou Yan replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Duan Xinghun’s face showed contempt, as if Zhou Yan was trying to find an excuse for himself.
But Duan Xinghun didn’t care; even if not fighting to the death, he had plenty of ways to tornt the overhyped Zhou Yan.
So what if he hadn’t reached the Sword Tribulation Realm; in Duan Xinghun’s eyes, such a person was like trash, yet they claid to be so powerful genius! This just showed that those from the Southern Wilderness were nothing but unworldly natives.
That’s what Duan Xinghun thought, but Jiang Wannian finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Yan’s words.
The next mont, however, Zhou Yan took a step forward and mysteriously said, "Father, I’m about to fulfill the promise I made to you, just watch."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan cast a Sword Illusion Realm, as if to record the forthcoming events.
"I will not break the rules, but did I say I wanted to join Nine Origin Heavenly City?"
"And even if I did break the rules, so what? If Zhou Yan wants to kill, not even the Saints can stop !"
Zhou Yan thought to himself, indifferently.
He didn’t explain to Jiang Wannian, for Jiang didn’t comprehend him yet.
Because, every ti he showed an indifferent smile, his enemies were destined to die.
"I’ve heard you’re a remarkable genius, so, do you want to fight ? I can give you a chance, oh, show everyone your most powerful attack! Hahaha, let the everyone see just how much of a genius a native from the Southern Wilderness can be!"
Duan Xinghun laughed heartily.
His words left Jiang Wannian speechless and caused Yun Shu’s facial muscles to twitch inexplicably.
"Not seeking death won’t bring it, eh?"
Yun Shu lanted in her heart; she had nothing to say.
And Jiang Wannian sighed sorrowfully in his heart; he had a premonition that sothing big was about to happen.
But Jiang Wannian also knew that when Zhou Yan was only at the Sword Void Fifth Transformation, he was no match for Zhou Yan. Now that Zhou Yan had reached Great Perfection of Sword Void Nine Transformations, how terrifying he must be... Duan Xinghun was really going to be finished.
"Hehe."
Zhou Yan chuckled and said, "Duan Xinghun, do you still rember the woman nad Lee Yan Yun?"
"Lee Yan Yun? Oh, you an that slut I dismbered? Hmm, you wouldn’t have ntioned her, I might have forgotten, but now that you ntion it, I rember! That woman had quite the chest, it’s a sha I didn’t get to touch it."
Duan Xinghun grinned and laughed with a sneering look in his eyes.
But the next mont, the sneering turned into endless terror.
Because at that mont, Zhou Yan’s whole body erupted with a blood Qi of incredible horror.
That blood Qi soared into the sky, and then a cold and evil strength surged directly into Duan Xinghun’s body.
Duan Xinghun’s body twitched twice, then he suddenly knelt in the Void and began to cut off pieces of his own flesh as if self-mutilating, utterly unaware of pain.
With each cut, he would put the flesh into his own mouth and chew slowly, as if he were savoring the most delicious delicacies in the world.
This bizarre, evil, and harrowing scene stunned everyone.
Yun Shu’s beautiful eyes involuntarily narrowed, and she shivered, moving closer to Zhou Yan, as if seeking so inexplicable sense of security.
And Jiang Wannian’s scalp felt numb as well.
...
Zhou Yan had no intention of letting Duan Xinghun die easily. He had thought of every way to humiliate his opponent, to let him die miserably and in utter disgrace, but considering the Sword Illusion Realm had recorded this scene and was only avenging his father, he did not use extrely evil tortures. Therefore, under the Killing Spirit Divine Dao, he let Duan Xinghun eat his own flesh, consu his own soul, and destroy his own cultivation.
This process was enveloped in runes.
The runes circulated, gradually evolving an Ancient Array, an old Rune Array Technique that protected everything inside, not allowing any disturbances.
Because from Duan Xinghun, Zhou Yan knew there were two Saints from Yuhun Island still here; when Duan Xinghun faced trouble, the two Great Saints would surely intervene.
And leaving the Ancient Array to trap it was to make Duan Xinghun die in despair even if he knew he had Saints backing him.
The Ancient Array was quickly completed, combining so abilities of the Void Sword Body. In a short ti, this Ancient Array would be quite difficult for even Divine-level experts to unravel, let alone Saints.
Duan Xinghun seed to have regained consciousness, but his will was dominated by Zhou Yan’s Soul Killing Divine Dao and he could not control his continuous self-mutilation of his physical body and soul to feed to himself.
This was a process of endless tornt and pain.
He was alive and fully aware, yet unable to stop himself, and thus let out endless miserable roars and screams.
Monts later, Duan Xinghun saw two beams of Holy Light ascending and coming from afar.
With a piercing scream, he yelled, "Grandfather, save ! Ancestor, save !"
The two Great Saints charged at the Ancient Array at their top speed, striking it with a palm, but the Array, as if sentient, absorbed the attacks of the two Great Saints and turned the endless energy into Thunder, reinforcing it fully onto Duan Xinghun.
The already dying Duan Xinghun was struck by the relentless Heavenly Tribulation, imdiately becoming one who would rather die than live.
Duan Xinghun’s cultivation was slowly destroyed, but he kept gaining more clarity, completely unable to faint away.
It was like watching himself die filled with hopes yet drowned in endless despair.
"Zhou Yan, how dare you harm my child Duan Tianjie like this, I will make you regret it forever!"
The Holy Level elder who had charged over upon seeing his own thods fail, was imdiately filled with boundless rage and unleashed an endless killing intent towards Zhou Yan.
"Duan Tianjie? A Saint? You might as well try and see."
Zhou Yan wore an indifferent smile, though his voice was sowhat icy.
Even now, he felt he could completely evade one or two moves from a Saint despite the great gap in their Realm.
And if a Saint laid hands on him, the nature of the matter would change imdiately.
Indeed, as soon as Zhou Yan spoke, the Void burst with a "pop".
Evil King, Moon Immortal, Yaochi Saint, Saint Yao, and Fairy Die, the five Great Saints, all appeared here.
"Duan Tianjie, what do you think you’re doing?"
Evil King’s voice coldly uttered a rebuke.
"Evil King, you saw, you see this bastard—"
"Scram!"
Evil King did not listen to Duan Tianjie’s words and arrogantly gave a single word response. A ’scram’!
Duan Tianjie’s face beca exceedingly ugly, nearly driven mad with rage.
"Evil King you—"
"Not scramming? Then die!"
Evil King chuckled coldly, his twelve spectral scythes behind him imdiately moving.
Duan Tianjie’s face drastically changed, all the grievances and anger vanished as his energy swept up the other Saint by his side and they imdiately turned into an energy form and dissipated.
This bias in the unfolding events caused all the genius Cultivators watching the scene to sigh in amazent.
