The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 247 - 247 247 Ridiculous Posture

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Ridiculous Posture Chapter 247: Chapter 247: Ridiculous Posture The smell of blood permeated the air.

The swirling foggy primordial energy gradually dissipated until it completely vanished.

Within the grand hall, not a single sound was heard; the surrounding crowd seemed to petrify all at once, forgetting even to breathe.

They had originally thought that Jing Yan would be killed by Chen Bing.

After Chen Bing made his move, displaying the strength of the Late Innate Realm, his power seemed terrifyingly formidable.

To everyone, Jing Yan was almost certainly doomed.

Yet, the outcome they now witnessed was the complete opposite.

The formidable Chen Bing was slain by Jing Yan with a single sword strike!

Why did Jing Yan possess such terrifying strength?

Earlier, when Chen Bing was beating Jing Luoyu, everyone could tell that Jing Luoyu hadn’t broken through to the Innate Realm and was merely a Postnatal Martial Artist.

Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu, coming from the same city, presumably came from the same family.

Logically speaking, even if there was a gap in strength between Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu, it shouldn’t be too large.

Jing Luoyu addressed Jing Yan as Brother Jing Yan, indicating that Jing Yan’s strength should indeed be somewhat stronger, possibly already possessing the Cultivation of the Innate Realm.

However, to everyone, Jing Yan seemed to be at most in the Early Innate Stage.

He didn’t even look twenty years old; to have attained Early Innate Cultivation was already quite commendable.

Even in Lanqu County City, a Martial Artist in the Early Innate Stage and under twenty was considered a talented genius.

At this moment, everyone finally realized that Jing Yan’s Cultivation was far beyond their imagination.

He had slain a martial artist of the Late Innate Realm with a single sword strike, his power at least comparable to the Peak of Innate, perhaps even stronger than your average Innate Peak Martial Artist.

Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have killed Late Innate Chen Bing with a single strike.

Shocked gazes turned absent-mindedly towards Jing Yan.

And Lady Chen, Chen Yan, her delicate face showing emotional fluctuations for the first time.

Her eyes wide, she stared at Jing Yan as if she couldn’t believe the scene before her.

At last, she spoke up.

“You… you dare to kill my servant?” Chen Yan’s voice was filled with disbelief.

In reality, she didn’t particularly care about the life and death of a servant like Chen Bing.

Chen Bing wasn’t even a direct descendant of the Chen Family but rather someone akin to a guard, raised by the Chen Family since childhood due to his exceptional talent and strong abilities, thus granted the Chen surname.

Such people’s responsibility in the Chen Family was to protect the direct descendants such as the crucial family member Chen Yan.

Chen Yan might not care about Chen Bing’s life, but seeing Chen Bing killed before her very eyes still caused a tumultuous wave within her heart.

“Nonsense!”

“Your servant is already dead, do you ask if I dare kill your servant?” Jing Yan’s gaze shifted to Chen Yan.

“You… you…” Chen Yan glared angrily at Jing Yan.

“This matter is not over yet.

You killed my servant, and you will surely die for it!

I will make sure of it!” Chen Yan grew somewhat hysterical.

“This indeed isn’t over!” Jing Yan chuckled, “Your servant is dead, and now it’s your turn!”

Jing Yan’s words sent another shiver through the surrounding crowd.

After killing Chen Bing, did this man now intend to kill Chen Yan too?

Killing Chen Bing might not enrage the Chen Family too much, but if he killed Chen Yan, the Chen Family would surely be furious.

“Just now, weren’t you demanding that we apologize on our knees?

Now I’m giving you a chance to stay alive, kneel down and apologize!

If you want to live, kneel down and apologize.” Jing Yan spoke in an even tone, but his words carried a hint of murderous intent.

If Chen Yan didn’t kneel and apologize, Jing Yan might indeed kill her.

Just moments ago, Miss Chen Yan’s haughty demeanor and her readiness to kill had infuriated Jing Yan immensely.

Hence, Jing Yan was not likely to let Chen Yan off easily.

“You’re insolent!” Chen Yan shouted angrily.

“You all wait; you all just wait!

I’m not going to rest until I’ve killed all of you, every single one of you lowly scums!

This is far from over!” Chen Yan said menacingly, turning to leave.

Clearly, she was going to fetch help!

She was only a martial artist of the Innate Middle Stage herself, a realm below Chen Bing.

If Chen Bing couldn’t stand against Jing Yan, she definitely was no match for him.

She knew this clearly.

Thus, despite feeling humiliated and enraged to her core, desiring to kill Jing Yan immediately, she didn’t directly confront him.

She was pampered and imperious, never caring about others, but she hadn’t lost her sense of reason.

The wisest decision now was to leave this place and return to her family for help!

“Trying to leave?” Jing Yan scoffed coldly.

“Whoosh!” With a flicker, Jing Yan’s figure intercepted Chen Yan.

“You like slapping people, don’t you?

Today, I’ll let you taste what it’s like to be slapped,” Jing Yan said in a deep voice, “Though I don’t like hitting women, a vile person like you doesn’t count as a woman in my eyes!”

Jing Yan raised his hand, about to slap Chen Yan’s cheek.

“Stop!”

“Enough!

Young man, don’t go too far!”

Just as Jing Yan was about to strike, and Chen Yan was panic-stricken, a heavy voice came from the staircase.

Naturally, everyone’s gaze shifted in that direction, and Jing Yan also turned to look.

They saw a man in a dark yellow robe standing on the stairs.

The voice had come from him.

That man in the yellow robe was watching Jing Yan.

“Supervisor?”

“Supervisor, sir?”

Someone in the crowd recognized him and exclaimed.

“Young man, where there’s room to spare, one should spare others.

Leave some leeway in life, don’t corner yourself,” said the man in the yellow robe after a pause.

“Who are you?” Jing Yan frowned and asked.

Jing Yan also felt slightly uneasy.

When had this man in yellow arrived on the staircase without him noticing?

That meant it was likely that this man was a Dao Spirit Realm powerhouse.

If he had been a warrior lower than the Dao Spirit Realm, Jing Yan believed he would have sensed his presence.

Even a Peak Innate Realm warrior couldn’t have entirely escaped his notice.

And this man appeared just as he was about to hit Chen Yan, clearly taking her side.

“Chief Wei!” Chen Yan, seeing him, immediately cried out in a voice filled with grievance and relief as if she had seen a savior.

“Chief Wei, you must stand up for me.

This bumpkin not only killed my servant but is also about to hit me,” Chen Yan said, her eyes brimming with tears, looking genuinely aggrieved.

Jing Yan’s attempt to slap her had truly frightened her.

She had never been slapped in the face in her life; she was always the one doing the slapping.

And today, she was almost slapped.

If she had actually been hit, how could she face anyone in the future?

“I am the manager of Juhua Restaurant, which is under my responsibility,” the man in the yellow robe said, looking at Jing Yan with a serious tone.

Hearing the man in the yellow robe, Jing Yan’s gaze sharpened, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“So it is the esteemed manager,” Jing Yan smiled and bowed his hands, “However, Manager, I am somewhat confused by your earlier comments.”

“What is there to be confused about?” Chief Wei frowned, “Aren’t my words clear enough?”

Chief Wei’s brow also furrowed.

“What you said was very clear, but I don’t understand why Chief Wei is stopping me,” Jing Yan continued with a smile.

“Hmph, do you even know who she is?” Chief Wei scoffed.

“Not very clear, I’ve heard she’s from the Chen family.

But how does that relate to Chief Wei stopping me?” Jing Yan asked with a puzzled look.

Chief Wei’s gaze hardened, and his expression grew somber.

He didn’t believe that Jing Yan did not understand his implication, and if Jing Yan did understand yet still persisted, that meant he was deliberately disrespecting him.

He didn’t speak immediately, choosing instead to walk down the stairs.

The crowd around immediately stepped aside.

“Young man, I’m doing this for your own good.

You might not realize what you’re doing!

You might also be unaware of the impact your actions could bring,” Chief Wei said in a low voice as he approached.

“Chief Wei must be jesting!

Although I’m not worldly-wise, I still understand right from wrong.

I’m also aware of what I’m doing.

Chief Wei says it’s for my own good, which I didn’t know about; all I see is that Chief Wei seems to be quite biased towards this woman named Chen Yan.

Could it be because she is from the Chen family?

Chief Wei, are you afraid of the Chen family?” Jing Yan spoke with an edge to his tone.

“Young man, don’t go too far.

You should understand that you’re provoking me, and provoking me won’t end well for you,” Chief Wei said with a condensed breath and a threatening tone.

“Chief Wei’s words are even more baseless now.

I have no intention of provoking you; I’m merely curious.

Where was Chief Wei when my companion was being beaten for no reason?

Now, as I demand an apology from Chen Yan, you appear to stop me.

Where were you when my companion was being shamelessly beaten and humiliated?” Jing Yan was also full of anger.

Jing Luoyu had been humiliated and beaten just moments ago, and Chief Wei was nowhere to be seen.

Now, when he demanded an apology from Chen Yan, Chief Wei suddenly appeared.

Even a fool could see the problem here.

Jing Yan couldn’t believe that Chief Wei was unaware of Chen Yan beating Jing Luoyu, given that any disturbance in the restaurant would’ve surely been reported immediately.

Yet, Chief Wei had shown no sign of interfering, which was very telling.

However, now that Chief Wei knew Chen Yan was at a disadvantage, he had quickly appeared.

Moreover, his attitude suggested he was acting in Jing Yan’s best interest—something Jing Yan couldn’t possibly appreciate.
