Chapter 415: Chapter 065 Ancient Array Slaughter Saint [2]

"Zhou Yan, you’ve gone mad!"

Xiong Ba was horrified, and at that moment, he nearly went berserk, releasing an incredibly terrifying Blood Qi, which successfully blocked all of Zhou Yan’s Twelve Sword Spirits.

The two were now confronting each other within the column of light.

At this time, outside in the Killing Array, people like Qian Saint were shivering with fear, and even the Netherworld Eight Soul Envoys, those evil spirits, showed fluctuating expressions of unease.

Even the Holy Daughter, Jiang Yuning, showed a worried look on her face at this moment; clearly, she too was shaken by Zhou Yan’s actions.

It was not only a mental shock but also an emotional one.

Moreover, Zhou Yan’s every word, his every decision, now seemed so powerful, so full of dominance.

Jiang Yuning had thought that Zhou Yan would grow quickly, for after all, he had experienced trials and tribulations that would leave an indelible mark. But feeling the significant change in Zhou Yan’s mental state still weighed heavily on her heart.

Every word from Zhou Yan pierced deep into the spirit. Zhou Yan could even give up everything for her because she was the motivation and hope for his cultivation.

But... was not the path of Zhou Yan’s future also her own hope? Between two evils, choosing the lesser meant she had to give up something to let Zhou Yan develop better.

This decision had been very firm originally, but now, it was shaken due to Zhou Yan’s actions, his mad behavior.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning felt a moment of confusion, wondering if she should continue to be ruthless.

Being ruthless was actually the true presence of emotion because only through ruthlessness, by separating that disaster of a beauty from him, could his tribulations be reduced.

But now, she could no longer ignore what she felt; she had a premonition that if she continued to be so resolute, Zhou Yan would certainly be annihilated, never to have a future.

Jiang Yuning fell silent, and finally, when Zhou Yan released his Twelve Sword Spirits, she no longer hid her feelings, her face filled with endless worry.

Now, she had given up everything, perhaps just to be with Zhou Yan, even if only for a minute.

She didn’t care about forever, as long as they had experienced happy love together, then even if the future meant annihilation, what of it?

At that moment, Holy Daughter Jiang Yuning’s thoughts became clear.

At the same moment, a fervent light burst from the Evil King’s eyes. With an excited, mad gaze, he stared intently at Zhou Yan, as if he had found the most enticing treasure.

This look was like that of a wild beast viewing its prey; it was blatant, without a hint of concealment.

"Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan? Unexpectedly, you have such ability to deceive everyone, hiding it from all the saints. However, my Heavenly Sword Eye had sensed that there was an opportunity here for me, the Evil King, which is why I spared no expense, even giving up the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm to come here. Now it seems, indeed, everything will be under my control!"

The Evil King laughed, then suddenly, his voice filled with arrogance, he made this declaration.

Everyone, upon hearing this, was stunned.

Even as Xiong Ba blocked Zhou Yan’s Twelve Sword Spirits, the two faced each other without continuing their confrontation.

"Evil King, you..."

At that moment, Zhou Lingyao suddenly cried out, his eyes filled with a terrifying gleam, the next moment, his vitality fluctuated unstably, clearly his heart was in turmoil.

Zhou Yan had already spotted Zhou Lingyao and faintly understood Zhou Lingyao’s current identity; although shocked, it was incomparable to the current predicament.

But now, Zhou Lingyao was agitated, a troubling sign.

Zhou Yan’s heart instantly became solemn.

Xiong Ba’s expression was equally grave.

"It seems you already know, correct, my Original Dao has made small achievements, hence I had already predicted this scene today, I also knew about Ni Chang, Lee Jidao, and even Lingling’s relationships, more so, I knew the Thunderflame Sword Body and Emperor Qi Sword Body were deeply connected—although unaware that they are the same person, it didn’t stop me from keeping an eye on him.

And I knew that here, I face a life-and-death catastrophe, yet I still came.

I, the Evil King, will either die here or use this opportunity to achieve the Supreme Realm of the Sword God."

The Evil King’s voice was chillingly cold and vicious.

A person who could remain so cold-hearted in such dire straits, even a scholar without physical strength, would be worthy of attention, let alone such a Saint of the Nine Origin Sword Saint?

"Sword God, do you think you still have a chance?"

Xiong Ba sneered.

"Stinky Dog Bear, do you think you are still in the Saint Realm? Humph, now you are merely at the Sword Soul Three Heavens Realm, and yet you speak so arrogantly!"

At that moment, Qian Saint’s eyes blazed with visible anger, staring at Xiong Ba and Zhou Yan, the intention to kill apparent in his eyes.

Learning that the Thunderflame Sword Body was indeed the Emperor Qi Sword Body, he nearly exploded with rage!

"Qian Saint? Shit like you, also daring to spout nonsense? Seems like drinking my urine back then wasn’t enough, believe it or not, I’ll make you eat crap again?"

Xiong Ba’s voice, laden with mockery and disdain, at that moment, Qian Saint’s face turned crimson, nearly exploding with fury.

Qian Saint’s follower, Cheng Saint, inexplicably took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Qian Saint.

Hua Saint and Yin Saint both had grave expressions, yet they made no move.

"Ah—you’re courting death!"

Qian Saint, enraged, was about to take action but was then suppressed by a chilling killing intent from the Evil King.

"Making a move here will directly trigger violent fluctuations in the Killing Array, don’t be hasty. This Dog Bear is deviously cunning, each plan more vicious than the last, do not get provoked."

The Evil King’s voice was very calm.

Xiong Ba’s expression darkened, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent, without a flicker of restraint.

He glared sharply at the Evil King before withdrawing his gaze to look at Zhou Yan, saying, "What do you want to do?"

"I want all the damned people here to die," Zhou Yan said calmly.

"Does this mean you want to end up dead yourself?" Xiong Ba asked coldly.

Zhou Yan fell silent.

"Zhou Yan, leave everything to me. No matter the outcome, you must survive because it’s not just you; you have your child too."

"Feng Lingqing, there actually is another opportunity. She... she’s still alive."

"So, live well. Hearing those words from you has already moved me greatly.

Born without life, dead without death. Zhou Yan, I have always loved you, but great love equates to heartlessness, and heartlessness is great love.

Sometimes, when I can’t control heaven and earth or change fate, I can only change myself."

Jiang Yuning spoke slowly, and Zhou Yan’s face suddenly changed drastically.

"Xiong Ba, trust me, don’t stop me! If you block me, I will self-destruct and shatter my soul!"

Zhou Yan’s eyes reddened. From the Holy Daughter’s words, he perceived a terrifying result—the Holy Daughter wanted to destroy herself to erase all his concerns!

Because only if the Holy Daughter died would Zhou Yan go mad, becoming reckless, which would fully activate the Divine Array.

For someone capable of living into the next life, once such a trump card is used, it would be extraordinarily terrifying.

The Holy Daughter definitely had a tremendously terrifying trump card.

Xiong Ba was stunned, then said solemnly, "Alright! I promise you!"

At that moment, everyone was momentarily stunned. Immediately after, Zhou Yan catalyzed the Original Dao and triggered the Ancient Blood.

Heaven and earth turned resplendent. The Twelve Sword Souls suddenly surged towards the Twelve Magnetic Light Columns again. Zhou Yan pierced through the Purple Flame Void, ripping open its space in one fell swoop.

"Pupu—"

Zhou Yan’s body suddenly exploded. At that moment, sensing a horrifying crisis, the Evil King’s eyes emitted a terrifying light, charging at the Holy Daughter.

The Evil King realized the key lay with the Holy Daughter. If she was preserved, everyone else must perish.

If the Holy Daughter died, everyone might still perish, but there might also be a glimmer of hope.

Thus, the Holy Daughter had to be killed—even if that meant triggering the Divine-level Killing Array.

At that moment, Zhou Lingyao and Ni Chang exchanged a smile.

"I have lived two lives, and you have lived three lives."

"But we have loved each other for three lifetimes, and that is enough. This battle is to slay the Evil King."

"Life and death no longer matter, the ones who should be happy have been happy. What needs to be given up, can also be given up."

"Life and death, what of it? In our Ancestor Star, we actually died long ago, living these extra days is just a bonus."

Their quiet words quickly seemed like a communication between minds. In that instant, both of them made their move, their eyes filled with ultimate relief.

"Whir~"

The Divine-level Killing Array suddenly manifested. Even though the killing intent was still slowly brewing, the atmosphere had already become fearsome.

The Holy Daughter was now ready to deploy terrifying means to accelerate the explosion of the Killing Array, but as the Evil King attacked, she wouldn’t just stand by.

Zhou Lingyao transformed into Lee Jidao, displaying dreadful Blood Qi. Once the ancient Emperor Qi Sword Body appeared, the Sword Dao between heaven and earth vanished, leaving only Lee Jidao’s Sword Dao.

This is the Sword Dao of the Emperor Qi Sword Body.

The Only I Am Supreme Sword Dao, not allowing any other Sword Dao to exist or survive.

This Sword Dao was extremely fearsome. Once unleashed, even the Evil King was strongly affected.

This was a true holy war, every move devastating heaven and earth. But here, with the Divine Array, even attacks capable of destroying heaven and earth couldn’t break the spatial barriers.

"Pupu pupu—"

In an instant, millions of exchanges erupted. Zhou Lingyao and Ni Chang joined forces, battling the Evil King evenly.

The Holy Daughter now fully activated her Blood Qi to hasten the explosion of the Killing Array, also unleashing the Divine Skills from her first life, shattering the oldest sealing restrictions within her body.

Once shattered, she would become a Nine Origin Sword Saint Realm powerhouse like Zhou Lingyao in a flash, but that meant she was returning to her previous life, as if she had lived one life in vain, equating to her imminent old age and eventual fading into Dao.

It was an utterly self-destructive tactic, incredibly insane.

"Netherworld Eight Soul Envoys, kill the Holy Daughter, only then is there a glimmer of hope!"

The Evil King roared furiously, almost going mad, unleashing a tremendous killing intent, fiercely attacking Zhou Lingyao.

Zhou Lingyao’s physical body surged, his Blood Qi shot towards the sky, each strand of his silver hair whipping wildly, displaying dreadful Blood Qi and imperial majesty.

He abandoned the Sword Dao, deriving a terrifying Fist Technique, like a Great Witch suddenly rising from the earth, directly throwing a punch that shattered the Evil King’s overwhelming killing intent!
