The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 208 - 208 208 The Belief in Becoming Stronger

Chapter 208: Chapter 208 The Belief in Becoming Stronger Chapter 208: Chapter 208 The Belief in Becoming Stronger Huo Chunyang’s gaze swept over Jing Yan, noticing only a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and no serious harm.

He felt somewhat relieved and returned his focus to Grandma San Ying.

“Grandma San Ying, you must not kill Jing Yan,” Huo Chunyang shook his head.

“You, as a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, striking against a martial artist not even twenty years old, that seems quite improper.”

“Huo Chunyang, Jing Yan injured my son Chenyu, I want his life.

What’s the problem with that?

Moreover, I had already given him a chance to live, but he didn’t cherish it.

Now even if he regrets, it’s too late.

My determination to kill him will not waver.

Huo Chunyang, you can’t protect him unless you stay by his side at all times.

Otherwise, even if he returns to the Jing Family, I will still pursue him there and kill him.” Grandma San Ying’s cloudy eyes again fixed on Jing Yan.

The murderous intent in her eyes was chilling.

She wanted to kill Jing Yan, and not even Huo Chunyang could protect him.

Jing Yan might return to the Jing Family, but she would follow to kill him.

It seemed that if anyone tried to stop her, they would die.

This was the fearsome power of a Dao Spirit Realm expert.

The Jing Family, even if they combined all their power, might not be able to stop Grandma San Ying from attacking Jing Yan.

And Huo Chunyang, clearly, could not always stay by Jing Yan’s side.

It looked like in order to protect Jing Yan, they would have to have him stay at the City Lord Mansion, and even that would only be temporary.

Jing Yan couldn’t stay in the City Lord Mansion forever, and Huo Chunyang couldn’t always stay indoors.

The surrounding martial artists all watched the scene with solemn expressions.

It seemed that today, Jing Yan was doomed.

Even if today Huo Chunyang offended Grandma San Ying to protect Jing Yan, he couldn’t protect him forever.

Grandma San Ying truly was overwhelmingly fierce, not even giving face to City Lord Huo Chunyang.

Hearing Grandma San Ying’s words, Jing Yan also felt a coldness spreading in his heart and a sense of helplessness.

Before such a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, he seemed so frail and vulnerable.

Even his family, the Jing Family, lacked the ability to protect him.

In this world without strength, one has no right to speak.

Grandma San Ying wanted to kill him and needed no reason.

If he died, then he was just dead.

If Jing Yan were a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse, would Grandma San Ying dare to say such things?

In his heart, Jing Yan’s desire to grow stronger intensified.

Even if he wasn’t avenging his grandfather, just for his own sake, he must seize the time and strive to become stronger.

While feeling powerless, Jing Yan’s hatred also grew stronger.

Grandma San Ying simply disregarded reason.

The whole incident was provoked by Long Chenyu, yet Grandma San Ying ignored this point entirely.

Jing Yan harmed Long Chenyu, so she wanted to kill Jing Yan.

In her eyes, Jing Yan’s life was far less valuable than Long Chenyu’s.

She did not consider that if Jing Yan had not shown mercy, Long Chenyu would already be dead!

“Grandma San Ying, I stop you also for your own good,” Huo Chunyang, his face also looking quite displeased, spoke coldly in front of so many people—Grandma San Ying did not give him any face at all.

She completely disregarded him as the City Lord; his voice grew much colder.

“For my own good?

Do tell, how is it for my good?” Grandma San Ying revealed a very ugly smile.

“If I don’t stop you, you will cause great trouble!

I can assure you, you’ll regret it,” Huo Chunyang’s voice lowered.

“Hmph, even if I regret it, I still want to kill him!

Huo Chunyang, stop with this nonsense, just say it directly—do you actually intend to stop me!” Grandma San Ying’s primordial energy surged within her, her voice thunderous, showing a loss of patience.

“Grandma San Ying, if after hearing this sentence you still wish to kill Jing Yan here, then I won’t stop you,” Huo Chunyang said with a deep look, “Come over here!”

Seeing Huo Chunyang asking her to come over, although skeptical, Grandma San Ying still moved her skinny body toward Huo Chunyang.

She believed that Huo Chunyang would not resort to any tricks against her.

Moreover, Huo Chunyang’s strength was indeed above hers.

If he wanted to make a move against her, there was no need for him to resort to deceitful attacks.

What’s more, with so many martial artists watching here, if Huo Chunyang really had any nefarious schemes, he would surely have many concerns, being the City Lord of Donglin City after all.

“Grandma San Ying, don’t you want to think about why I insist on protecting Jing Yan?

Let me tell you, Jing Yan’s relationship with the Prince is not ordinary.

If you kill Jing Yan, the Prince will be enraged,” Huo Chunyang said in a very low voice to the approaching Grandma San Ying.

Although what Huo Chunyang said was somewhat exaggerated, it was essentially the truth.

He only knew that the Bai Xue City Lord of Duyang City, who was the daughter of the Prince, had a close relationship with Jing Yan.

If Bai Xue City Lord cared about Jing Yan, saying that Jing Yan had a special relationship with the Prince wasn’t problematic.

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Grandma San Ying’s expression instantly changed.

She might disregard Huo Chunyang, but she couldn’t disregard the Prince of Lanqu County.

She gave Huo Chunyang a deep look, seemingly considering the credibility of his statement.

After a moment of deep thought, she believed that Huo Chunyang was probably telling the truth.

Otherwise, why would Huo Chunyang treat Jing Yan so favorably?

And such a statement, she believed Huo Chunyang wouldn’t dare to make lightly.

If Huo Chunyang dared to mess around with the Prince’s name, once the Prince found out, Huo Chunyang would face inescapable trouble.

“Phew!” Grandma San Ying let out a breath.

“Shua!” Her muddy eyes fiercely swept towards Jing Yan.

Originally, she was destined to kill Jing Yan today, but now Huo Chunyang had said that Jing Yan had an unusual relationship with the Prince.

If she really killed Jing Yan in front of everyone, she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

Not to mention herself, even the Wen Family of Lanqu County City wouldn’t be able to withstand the Prince’s wrath.

The Lu Family’s annihilation, Grandma San Ying knew a bit about it as well.

“Little beast, consider yourself lucky!” Grandma San Ying said sinisterly to Jing Yan.

“Huh?”

“Not fighting anymore?

Giving up?”

“Weren’t you adamant about killing Jing Yan just now?

Why suddenly give up?”

“City Lord, what exactly did you say?”

The surrounding martial artists were all somewhat stunned.

Previously, Grandma San Ying’s attitude had been extremely tough and domineering, as if she wouldn’t rest until Jing Yan was dead.

And now, she was clearly going to spare Jing Yan.

This was obviously related to the last words City Lord Huo Chunyang said to her.

What exactly did the City Lord say to Grandma San Ying to make her give up on killing Jing Yan?

Jing Yan, a slow smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and only then did he reach out to wipe the blood from the corners.

Today was indeed extremely dangerous.

If City Lord Huo Chunyang hadn’t suddenly arrived, he might have really been killed by Grandma San Ying.

Even if he had the Sky Wings Body Technique Martial Arts to escape, he wouldn’t have been able to successfully evade the pursuit.

Grandma San Ying was a Dao Spirit realm powerhouse; although she could only fly for a short period of time, this brief duration was enough for Grandma San Ying to catch up to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan could guess that Huo Chunyang’s words to Grandma San Ying were nothing but threats involving either Bai Xue City Lord or the Prince.

Grandma San Ying didn’t kill him because she didn’t dare, not because she didn’t want to.

This old thing would definitely still try to kill him if she got the chance.

“Grandma…”

Long Chenyu couldn’t hold back anymore.

He had just been waiting to personally see Jing Yan get killed by Grandma, but now that she was going to give up, how could he continue to stay silent?

Not killing Jing Yan was truly unbearable resentment for him!

“I want him dead!

I want him dead!” Long Chenyu twisted his body as if he was throwing a tantrum.

“Yu, we can’t kill him now, but there will definitely be a chance,” Grandma San Ying looked at Long Chenyu, “You’ve been bullied this time, you should know how to make progress, right?

Practice hard in the future and stop always thinking about women.

Once you step into the Dao Spirit realm, or even become a stronger Daoist Master realm powerhouse, what kind of women can’t you find?

Those women will come flocking to you.”

“Grandma, I understand.” Long Chenyu was not foolish; he saw that Grandma San Ying was wary of something and dared not kill Jing Yan.

His gaze then sweep maliciously towards Jing Yan.

“Little beast, just live a few more days; I’ll see how long you can stay arrogant,” Long Chenyu cursed venomously.

“Hehe…”

“The strong kill the weak without needing a reason; they kill as they wish.

The weak are like ants; the strong can crush them as they please!”

“Grandma San Ying, right?” Jing Yan said indifferently, a hint of a smile appearing on his face as he spoke to Grandma San Ying, disregarding Long Chenyu’s curse.

Grandma San Ying furrowed her brows and looked at Jing Yan.

What was this boy trying to do?

She had already temporarily given up on killing him; what else did he want to say?

“Grandma San Ying, one day, I will personally return these words to you.

That day won’t be too far off,” Jing Yan’s voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.

“Little beast, I’ll wait for you to seek revenge,” Grandma San Ying certainly understood that Jing Yan meant to seek revenge.

But she simply didn’t care.

She was a Dao Spirit realm powerhouse; Jing Yan in front of her was indeed just like an ant.

For Jing Yan to kill her, he would first have to step into the Dao Spirit realm, which was not an easy feat.

Talents were common, but Dao Spirit realm powerhouses were much rarer.

Countless talents could only reach the Peak of Innate realm and couldn’t step into the Dao Spirit Realm.

Even if it’s a once-in-a-hundred-year talent from Donglin City, what about it?

If entering the Dao Spirit realm were so easy, then the entire Donglin City wouldn’t have only four Dao Spirits.

Moreover, she, Grandma San Ying, had only come to Donglin City from Lanqu County City in the last twenty or thirty years.

Moreover, she would find an opportunity to secretly kill Jing Yan.

As long as there was no evidence left, it was feasible.

Jing Yan had many enemies; who could be sure by whose hand Jing Yan would die?

Even if Jing Yan really had a relationship with the Prince, it wouldn’t matter much.

A talented individual growing up was indeed formidable, but a talent that had not grown up was nothing at all!
