Chapter 447: Chapter 096: The Great Battle with Ji Wu Xuanzhe

Ji Wu’s face turned pale green as he flew over from afar.

A person with a pale green face would surely not harbor good intentions.

Zhou Yan’s eyes twinkled, and he laughed, "So, how comfortable do you feel? If you kneel and kowtow now, I might still let you live."

"You’re seeking death!"

Ji Wu’s eyes glittered with intense murderous and hateful intent, word by word.

"I’ve always been seeking death, but you’re not capable enough. Look at you, your face swollen from my slaps, like a dog that lost its home. What makes you think you deserve to be number one, or to marry the Holy Daughter? You? I, Zhou Yan, have never taken you seriously. You’re just a complete waste, get it? A waste!"

Zhou Yan’s words were harsh, carrying an unspeakable scoff and disdain, pushing the ridicule towards Ji Wu to the extreme.

Ji Wu’s face turned from green to black, his lungs nearly bursting with rage, yet he didn’t act impulsively. Instead, he madly suppressed the endless fury within him.

"Very well, you’ve enraged me!"

Ji Wu burst out with boundless murderous intent, his pent-up rage finally ignited completely.

A surge of energy soared into the sky, and through the Qi Observation Skill, Zhou Yan saw that above Ji Wu’s head, the War Qi soared into the sky like beacon fires, incredibly astounding.

"You, waste, merely stand in the brilliance under your parents’ halo. Without your parents, here, you’re just an utter waste!"

Zhou Yan continued to mock, brutally insulting Ji Wu’s path with vicious words.

With a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, Ji Wu was no longer passive or furiously angry. Instead, he sneered, "Right, my parents are two Saints, so what? Zhou Yan, you were just a moronic waste of the Li surname, a hybrid, before. All you say and do is just to erode my mentality and violate my beliefs, to force me to act! But you’re wrong! This has no meaning at all!"

"Besides, even if I don’t compete with you, Zhou Yan, you neither have the qualifications nor the ability to marry the Holy Daughter. So, don’t bother with any schemes. If you possess any capability, come at me, don’t dilly-dally. Today here, we fight a life and death battle, and I will take your life!"

After calming down, Ji Wu no longer acted impulsively, showing a strong and invincible Battle Intent.

He clearly did not want to waste any more time, wanting to engage Zhou Yan in a life and death battle.

This was precisely the moment Zhou Yan had been waiting for.

Despite having the absolute strength to fight Ji Wu, if Ji Wu chose to flee, Zhou Yan wasn’t sure he could stop him.

But since Ji Wu had decided on a life and death battle, all the words Zhou Yan had said had achieved their purpose at this moment.

"Shua shua—"

Both almost simultaneously soared out, standing in the void.

Here, others’ abilities could not be unleashed, but both Zhou Yan and Ji Wu seemed unaffected, as they were both able to exert their powers.

At this moment, even Qingyao, Jia Yongheng, and the others were concentrating and holding their breaths to watch.

Si Yuan, Yan Ran, and Jiayue, the three cultivators, also looked at each other in shock, never expecting that the two could exert their full strength in this forbidden land of Frost Tears.

Zhou Yan and Ji Wu stood in the sky dome, staring at each other from afar, emanating a daunting power.

"Hum—"

Ji Wu made his move, a pitch-black sword suddenly appeared, streaking like a meteor, slicing a brilliant light through the sky dome.

The residual light of this sword split heaven and earth, creating a crack in the firmament, as the universe trembled.

This sword from Ji Wu was unmatched in the world.

"Dang—"

Zhou Yan, holding the top-level Soul Artifact, the Broken Worry Sword, his black hair draped over his shoulders, carefree and defiant, met the sword head-on.

Sword Light collided, shattering millions of sword lights, extinguishing that meteor-like brilliant light, the two swords intersecting, bursting forth a dazzling, blinding radiance.

Streaks of energy exploded, falling like billions of stars’ radiance.

Each streak of energy burst forth a dazzling light, blinding and majestic.

A simple collision was like thunder, like the earth roaring.

Zhou Yan, battling Ji Wu, attracted cultivators from far and wide to come and watch.

"Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan is this powerful?"

"Thunderflame Sword Body, battling the unique Saint Heir, Ji Wu."

"The might of the Thunderflame Sword Body is not inferior to the Emperor Qi Sword Body. This Zhou Yan actually has such capability. It seems I underestimated him previously."

"This will be a battle that shocks the world."

...

Many stirred cultivators rushed here.

Since this area was restricted in terms of power, only physical strength was possible, but for these supreme geniuses even physical strength was formidable, so flying and moving through the earth were not too difficult.

"Hum—"

After his first sword attack, Zhou Yan immediately threw a punch.

The ancient Fist Intent, with one punch, seemed to strike out a star river, in front of which a startling mighty force emerged, its strength piercing through the skies, showing a brave and invincible spirit.

"Chichi—"

Ji Wu, not to be outdone, directly unleashed the power of a Holy Artifact, crushing the vacuum in one fell swoop, manifesting the might of a Saint.

This strike of the Holy Artifact shattered everything, a singular power erupted, collapsing the Fist Intent. The heavens and earth broke, all attacks were utterly shattered, and all of Zhou Yan’s wave of attacks were obliterated.

Zhou Yan derived Thunder Power, Sword Intent kept forming in waves.

The Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Dao was deployed for the first time at this moment, Yin Spirit Life and Death Sword killed forth, transforming into ancient Yin Spirits, as if the power of the Netherworld Palace, cold winds in waves, chilling to the bone.

"Void, wither!"

Ji Wu unleashed the Power of Silence Extinction, a force emerged, the universe quaked, a fearsome power hanging like an inverted Milky Way, like a ferocious beast transformed into the Milky Way, rising to the sky, devouring the endless Yin Spirits.

"Life and Death Sword, Sword Soul Path."

"Yin Spirits, Resentful Spirits, lonely souls, deriving Five Elements Yin Yang, Ten Thousand Ghosts Six Desolates Sword!"

Zhou Yan’s Sword Qi suddenly changed, widely opening and closing, deriving the Eight Desolate and Six Harmonies, manifesting the true intent of the Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Dao.

"Sss—"

The energy of the inverted galaxy was pierced, and the entire Frost Tears felt as if it had experienced an unmatched storm, the void itself was twisted, and Ji Wu’s Power of Silence Extinction was completely shattered.

Zhou Yan destructively approached Ji Wu, and in the blink of an eye, he threw another punch, bursting with endless Xingyi Fist Intent, striking Ji Wu in the face.

Before Ji Wu could recover from his previous extreme attack, his energy was extinguished by the sudden Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Dao struck by Zhou Yan. A new attack had yet to form when Zhou Yan, already close by, viciously struck, causing an instant of shock and panic.

"Boom—"

Zhou Yan’s fierce punch hit Ji Wu’s face, sending Ji Wu flying like a cannonball, struck again.

This punch employed terrifying strength, causing the energy within Zhou Yan’s body to roar into action.

With this punch, Ji Wu was sent flying again; although the power of the Holy Artifact protected him, preventing his face from being damaged, his cheek still swelled up enormously, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth!

Another punch to the face, Ji Wu was struck in the face again!

This scene stunned Qingyao Xuanzhe and others and left some cultivators who were flying over from afar watching in shock.

When the punch was thrown, Zhou Yan’s own body also trembled greatly; the horrifying strength made him also fly backward after the shock, with the protective power of the Holy Artifact being terrifyingly powerful, the rebound force was astonishing, and Zhou Yan’s bones were injured.

Because of the battle, the energy in the world had dimmed considerably.

"Ah—"

Ji Wu let out a long howl, his black hair unraveling, blood shot up to the sky, his whole body bathed in blood, his white robe now stained a bright red.

It was his own blood that soaked the front of his robe.

He raged furiously, his aura terrifyingly dreadful, like an Ancient Barbaric Dragon, his Blood Qi overwhelming the Nine Heavens and Earth.

Roaring, he suddenly brought out an ancient tower; this ancient tower was terrifyingly fierce, a Great Killing Device of the Holy Level.

The ancient tower shot out like a beam of light at a speed Zhou Yan couldn’t possibly dodge, dreadfully terrifying.

"Puff—"

The moment the ancient tower struck, it immediately slammed onto Zhou Yan, whose physical body was extremely strong and was also wearing the top-level soul artifact, the Spiritual Lotus Armor, which now burst into brilliant, blinding firelight due to the strike of the ancient tower.

The Guardian Ancient Array on the Soul Armor immediately annihilated. The Soul Armor shattered, and half of Zhou Yan’s body was pierced through, his intestines spilling out.

The ancient tower was terrifying; one hit was utterly devastating.

"Puff—"

The massive impact caused Zhou Yan to spurt out a mouthful of blood. He shifted his body countless times, still unable to dodge the ancient tower’s blow, which was extremely dangerous.

Zhou Yan’s complexion changed dramatically; with a thought, the Twelve Shape Intent Soul Sword surged out from his body and harshly struck towards Ji Wu.

This sword also transcended time, killing with one stroke; Ji Wu immediately emitted a horrific scream of agony.

"Ah—"

Ji Wu’s body exploded repeatedly, his flesh blurred, his soul nearly cleaved in two by Zhou Yan’s Soul Sword.

Half of his soul was held by a strand of soul, seeming on the verge of dropping.

From his soul, a milky white mysterious soul liquid continuously flowed out, appearing to be heavily wounded.

"Die!"

Ji Wu spouted a mouthful of blood and a milky white pulp, using it to blood sacrifice the ancient tower, intending to crush Zhou Yan to death with it.

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s face drastically changed; with determination, he immediately concentrated his soul, preparing to unleash the Eye of Destruction.

Terrifying Soul Energy continuously gathered; in an instant, Ji Wu had killed with the ancient tower.

The Eye of the Soul opened.

Everything in the world turned extremely cold, time seemed to freeze.

Zhou Yan saw the ancient tower, unimaginably fast, slowing down immensely as it flew towards him, the ancient tower was not just a tower, it was actually the Soul Seals of two great Saints!

The ancient tower was merely an outer shape; its true essence was an object condensed from the Battle Intent of two great Saints, marked with the Sealing of two great Saints!

In that instant, Zhou Yan saw through it all, seeing through the essence of the ancient tower.

Zhou Yan did not attack the ancient tower, but suddenly with the Eye of Destruction, he aimed at Ji Wu’s soul.

"Sss—"

The Eye of Destruction struck out with even greater speed.

A beam of Destruction Light.

An indescribable Destruction Light.

A light of void, like an invisible lightning.

The light shot forth, striking Ji Wu’s soul instantly with the light of the Eye of Destruction and then, suddenly, it vanished.

And the ancient tower that had been killing towards Zhou Yan, at this moment, shattered like smoke and clouds, dissipating.

Ji Wu’s body turned into a wisp of blue smoke, abruptly vanishing.

Inside Zhou Yan, massive amounts of Soul Energy suddenly collapsed, waves of destructive aura continuously entering deep into his soul, entering into the Soul Sword.

Zhou Yan’s originally clear soul was now stained dark by this mysterious Destruction Energy.

His soul, directly turned into a ’crippled’ state.

Ji Wu had disappeared, a map flickering with light appeared in the original spot, dancing like bright lights.

Zhou Yan stood in place, his whole body drenched in blood, looking extremely ragged.

But no one dared to underestimate him, for he had defeated Ji Wu.

"Zhou Yan! I am merely an Avatar Void Body entering Frost Tears, the Avatar Void Body is but one-tenth of the original body’s combat power! Once you leave Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb, that will be the time I slay you!"

Suddenly, a terrifying voice echoed across the Heaven and Earth, lingering for a long time before fading away.

This was Ji Wu’s voice, cold and sinister, permeating with the resentment and unwillingness from the soul.

Zhou Yan remained silent, his gaze tranquil, with no response to Ji Wu.
