Chapter 446: Chapter 095: Slapped and Sent Flying

"Looks like all of you have obtained the map. My Light Awakening Xuan wants to enter the Yuan Ci Secret Realm to comprehend an opportunity. Zhou Yan, give us a chance. Withdraw and kneel before me; I won’t kill you this time."

Ji Wu said, gently slapping towards the distance.

There, where no one stood, the Heavens and Earth changed color as Ji Wu’s palm struck, and suddenly a figure appeared—an individual in a pitch-black robe, radiating a dark glow, suddenly materializing out of thin air.

"Ji Wu, since you have spoken, how can I dare not to listen? Let the Light Awakening Xuan come here. I will give him the map."

Zhou Yan’s face was expressionless, watching Ji Wu’s devastating palm strike without any change in emotion.

At this moment, even Jia Yongheng, who had spoken of supporting Zhou Yan through hardships, appeared extremely solemn and serious in the face of Ji Wu’s presence, without a hint of complacency.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to help Zhou Yan, but they had no confidence in confronting Ji Wu—Ji Wu seemed much more formidable and terrifying than when he had entered, as if he had undergone a new transformation, inscrutable.

"He has improved again!"

The Qingyao Xuanzhe whispered softly.

In her words, there was a hint of a regretful sigh.

Her voice was not loud, but Zhou Yan and the others heard it clearly.

From her words, Zhou Yan also heard Qingyao Xuanzhe’s helplessness—it wasn’t that she wasn’t willing to step in, but that she didn’t even qualify to do so.

The means of the two Saints behind Ji Wu were too cruel and ruthless.

No one dared to challenge their might.

Although Qingyao Xuanzhe had a strong background, she also did not dare to take an extra step.

She weighed in her heart that Zhou Yan was merely a genius, Ji Wu was not inferior to Zhou Yan, but behind Ji Wu, there were two terrifying Saints.

Thus, at this time, she also did not take the initiative to speak for Zhou Yan or take any responsibility for him.

"Brother Zhou Yan, the two Saints behind Ji Wu are extremely malicious. I have once seized their Supreme Treasure; right now, I truly cannot intervene, otherwise neither of us will have a way out... Take care of yourself. This time, I’ve let you down."

After much hesitation, Jia Yongheng still did not step forward but suddenly conveyed a message to Zhou Yan using the Qi Fortune technique.

"I understand. I appreciate your concern; I will remember your help and kindness in every aspect."

Zhou Yan conveyed his gratitude back to Jia Yongheng using the same technique.

Jia Yongheng nodded, sighed, and kept a certain distance from Zhou Yan.

"Zhou Yanxuan, don’t worry. Since I’ve made a promise, I will keep it. I will support you wholeheartedly and face this together with you," said Si Yuan Xuanzhe sincerely.

He did not retreat but stepped forward.

Yan Ran Xuanzhe hesitated, and Jiayue Xuanzhe, like her, neither retreated nor advanced but stood in place.

"Ah? You want to take action and become my enemy? Not bad, if you all join forces, perhaps I might not be able to withstand you, but how many of you dare not to join forces! As for the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, regardless of your decision, since I have the map, in the end, it will definitely belong to me, Ji Wu. Whoever dares to grab for it, I shall annihilate their entire clan!"

Ji Wu stood with his hands behind his back, then coldly glanced at Si Yuan Xuanzhe, causing Si Yuan Xuanzhe’s body to shiver.

Nonetheless, Si Yuan Xuanzhe endured, not retreating even half a step, though his face turned a few shades paler.

"Go ahead and take Zhou Yan’s map from him, and if he dares to resist, strike him down directly with the Holy Artifact," Ji Wu ordered ruthlessly.

"And if Si Yuan Xuanzhe dares to intervene, suppress and kill him too until his ashes scatter. Don’t hold back. If something happens, it’s on me," Ji Wu said coldly.

"Alright, come and get it. I’ll give it to you for free."

Zhou Yan looked at Ji Wu and his black-robed follower, Light Awakening Xuanzhe, speaking indifferently.

"It’s good to know when to advance and when to retreat."

Ji Wu spoke arrogantly, his voice commanding from a position of supremacy, brimming with intent to kill.

Zhou Yan cast a cold glance at Ji Wu’s Qi Fortune, like a dazzling aurora shooting straight into the sky, unattainably high.

There was no bad luck, no disaster Qi, no death Qi, nor any sign of instability.

Everything was top-notch.

No loopholes.

Even if there were any, the terrifying blood-red light columns within that soaring light pillar representing the Saints’ Qi Fortune could suppress any chaotic and muddled Qi Fortune, preventing any impact.

Zhou Yan was moved, finally understanding what kind of support Ji Wu had behind him.

The backing was too powerful, too abnormal; it was untouchable—any attempt to challenge could provoke the wrath of two Great Saints; it wasn’t child’s play.

These two Great Saints, even the immaculate Yao would avoid their edge, even Xiong Ba at his peak might only just be on par...

Zhou Yan’s expression grew even calmer as he watched Light Awakening Xuanzhe, who wore a savage grin of both mockery and disdain, step by step coming towards him.

Light Awakening Xuanzhe was a tall and burly man, standing at over two meters with a bearish frame, exceedingly rugged.

He was not an impetuous man, nor did he underestimate a genius, but under Ji Wu’s watch, seeing the solemn expressions of others, he was still very smug.

He looked at Zhou Yan as if he was looking at a dead man, or at a clown.

"With your trashy status, you dare to covet the Holy Daughter and call yourself a genius. That’s just laughable!"

Light Awakening Xuanzhe said with disdain.

He spoke, staring hard with his bell-like eyes emitting a fierce glow, "Where’s the map? Hand it over."

"Here take it then!"

Zhou Yan gave a cold smile and suddenly, he made his move.

"Chh, chh—"

An invisible hand, like a tidal wave, suddenly exploded.

Throughout heaven and earth, a blinding radiance burst forth, like a terrifying energy had formed a Sword Soul, emitting an aura that shook heaven and earth.

"Hum—"

In the way of heaven and earth, there appeared a radiance of dawn, accompanied by the continuous sound of Zen chanting.

A Gray Dragon Fierce Beast materialized, claws shining with dazzling silver light, with an ultimate shaping of intent, and with a dragon roar, it plunged down into the Void with a "puff".

"Puff—"

Like a watermelon smashed forcefully, that claw struck directly onto the body of Light Awakening Xuan.

Although Light Awakening Xuan was ranked fourth among genius males, he was obliterated into a mist of blood and flesh scraps by a single claw strike of Zhou Yan’s Sword Dao Sword Soul and perished instantly, unable to be deader!

On the ground, a deep pit about ten meters in depth suddenly appeared, inside of which were scattered droplets of blood and fragments of flesh.

Not even a scream of agony escaped Light Awakening Xuan before he met his death.

Dead beyond dead.

Not even his Soul had a chance to escape before disintegrating into nothingness.

"Hmm? It seems you are hysterical, very good, very good indeed!" Ji Wu laughed coldly in quick succession, releasing a cold and brutal murderous aura.

"As you wished, I let him disintegrate into ash and smoke, are you satisfied now?"

Zhou Yan casually wiped his hands, which were spotless, against his clothing. Then, with a contemptuous gaze as if he was looking down at the world, he looked at Ji Wu as one would look at an ant, with a similarly unattainable gaze.

"You’re seeking death!"

Ji Wu bellowed angrily. His hands gradually raised, ready to make a move.

"Seeking death? Rest assured, I will kill every single person by your side, one by one, then watch as you wish for death but cannot die!"

Zhou Yan gave a similarly merciless and cold laugh, and then, without any hesitation, he struck at Ji Wu.

"You think that by mastering the ability to make a move here, you can restrain me? Then, let me show you what it means to ’play with fire and get burned’! Heavenly Tribulation, come forth!"

Ji Wu sneered, then summoned the power of the Rules.

With himself as the center, he called upon the might of Heaven and Earth, intending to destroy everything in the vicinity.

"Ji Wu, have you gone mad!"

"Ji Wu, I have not provoked you, and what you are doing now is utterly insane!"

Qingyao and Jia Yongheng immediately turned pale with shock and exclaimed in alarm.

"Enjoy the taste of Divine Punishment of Heaven and Earth, Zhou Yan, and all you worthless ones!" said Ji Wu while laughing heartily. The death of Light Awakening Xuan had indeed caused a great shock to him; Zhou Yan’s strength was strong enough to unsettle him.

The speed of Zhou Yan’s growth was too fast. At this rate, he even started to doubt whether he would be always able to overpower the other party!

Feeling threatened, it was time to dispose of the menace as quickly as possible; that was the true path to dominance.

"You dare to show off Heavenly Tribulation?!"

Zhou Yan swept his Void Power and, using the space of the Purple Flame Void, he whisked away the Heavenly Tribulation Power that Ji Wu had stirred, pulling it into the Purple Flame Void itself.

At present, Zhou Yan was employing the Deceiving Heaven Technique, and if the Heavenly Tribulation Power that Ji Wu had summoned were powerful enough, there might be something to talk about. However, such a meager force of Heavenly Tribulation was nothing to Zhou Yan, someone with the fully matured Constitution of the Thunderflame Sword Body and whose Soul had been baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Once, Zhou Yan had helped White Fox withstand a Heavenly Tribulation many times more formidable than this and had emerged unscathed. Now, such a minor Heavenly Tribulation, which might seem like the end of the world to others, was of no concern to him at all.

To him, at this level, the Heavenly Tribulation could even be refined and used as nourishment. Moreover, the Deceiving Heaven Technique was of the Supreme Dao, and Ji Wu’s techniques were not yet capable of unraveling such a Deceiving Heaven Technique.

Zhou Yan swept away the Heavenly Tribulation Power, then suddenly appeared beside Ji Wu, taking him completely by surprise.

"Puff—"

Striking out, Zhou Yan’s move was brutally violent, fiercely smacking his target.

Zhou Yan did not use the Primordial Energy within his body, for that would create an energy shockwave, triggering the Holy Artifact protection within Ji Wu’s body.

He unleashed his physical Strength explosively; a slap that contained more than a million pounds of force whistled through the air and connected with Ji Wu’s face.

"Bang—"

Ji Wu’s head, incredibly hard like an iron ball, was sent spinning away with a thunderous noise, and his entire body, like a kite with its string cut, was violently flung far away.

Zhou Yan was well aware that he could not kill Ji Wu, but this method was meant to utterly humiliate him!

Clearly, the loudness of that slap had left Ji Wu utterly stunned.

And by Zhou Yan’s side, Qingyao Xuan, Eternal Xuan, Si Yuan Xuan, Jiayue Xuan, and Yan Ran Xuan, all had their mouths wide open, completely dumbfounded by the sight.

Zhou Yan had not only dispelled the Heavenly Tribulation but also sent Ji Wu flying with a slap!

What was this situation?

Had the Laws of Heaven and Earth stopped working?

How could it be so exaggerated?!
