The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 315 - 315 315 Trouble Brewing

Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Trouble Brewing Chapter 315: Chapter 315: Trouble Brewing Jing Yan was not sure if Zhang Min was indeed the one the two people were apprehending.

He didn’t know the exact number of members in the Criminal Punishment Hall team, but there were definitely more than three or five people.

If these two were, then Sun Xiao who had encountered Jing Yan before was also a member of the Criminal Punishment Hall team.

Therefore, Jing Yan merely asked casually.

“Zhang Min?”

“Ha, Zhang Min is indeed the one we were capturing.

She was very cooperative.

We told her to go to the Criminal Punishment Hall for questioning, and she immediately went,” one of them said after slightly recalling.

Jing Yan’s gaze suddenly turned icy.

Regardless of how exactly Zhang Min died, these two were clearly implicated in her death.

“Heh heh…” Jing Yan laughed.

“What are you laughing at?

Jing Yan, you’d better not delay any further.

The longer you hold off, the worse it will be for you.

The lords of the Criminal Punishment Hall don’t have much patience!” the two declared sternly.

“Do you two know that Senior Sister Zhang Min is already dead?” Jing Yan clenched his hand.

“Of course, we know.

She deserved to die!” There was not a trace of remorse in their tone over Zhang Min’s death.

In fact, when mentioning Zhang Min’s death, there was even a hint of pride on their faces.

This attitude was something Jing Yan could not contain his rage over!

“Die!” An explosive shout erupted from Jing Yan’s mouth.

Red Sword Light filled the space in an instant, murder intent bursting forth, sweeping across the area.

Jing Yan gave them a chance!

Even when they saw Jing Yan and were extremely hostile toward him!

Even when they wanted Jing Yan to tie his own hands and feet and go to the Criminal Punishment Hall for trial.

Jing Yan did not immediately decide to kill them.

But they had apprehended Zhang Min who had nothing to do with Qian Bo’s death.

Perhaps they were merely following orders from the higher-ups of the Criminal Punishment Hall, and they themselves might not deserve death.

However, their knowledge of Zhang Min’s death without any remorse was something Jing Yan absolutely could not tolerate.

So, he took action, striking at these two Innate Peak Realm members of the Criminal Punishment Hall.

The Skyfire Sword unleashed a formidable sword light, instantly piercing through space and stabbing towards the two of them.

It never crossed their minds that Jing Yan would actually take action against them.

They were members of the Criminal Punishment Hall!

They were sent to capture Jing Yan for trial, representing the almighty Criminal Punishment Hall.

Yet, Jing Yan had struck against them.

They felt an overwhelming murderous intent enveloping their entire bodies, clearly recognizing that Jing Yan did not intend to resist arrest, but to kill them!

Their reactions were also swift; after all, they were Martial Artists at the Peak of Innate and among the best of the best.

Those who could enter the Criminal Punishment Hall were definitely no mediocrities.

They drew their weapons in the first instant, intending to fight with Jing Yan.

However, the gap between them and Jing Yan was on a completely different level.

Without any suspense, the Red Sword Light easily tore through their resistance.

“No!”

“Jing Yan, stop!”

“We’re members of the Criminal Punishment Hall, if you kill us, you won’t be able to escape either!” The two screamed frantically, their voices hoarse with effort.

“Swoosh!” The Red Sword Light, without any hesitation, penetrated their bodies.

The two collapsed limply to the ground.

Two Martial Artists at the Innate Peak Realm were slain by Jing Yan’s single sword strike, just one strike!

Hua Kaizhi was stunned!

He, too, did not expect Jing Yan to truly act and kill these two members of the Criminal Punishment Hall.

After Jing Yan made his move, being a warrior in the Early Dao Spirit Realm himself, Hua Kaizhi reacted even faster than the two hall team members.

He hesitated for just a moment and then immediately moved, urging his Primordial Energy to intervene, but Jing Yan’s strength was so great that he couldn’t stop him in time.

“Whew!” Watching the two hall team members die in front of him, Hua Kaizhi let out a heavy breath and turned to look at Jing Yan with shock.

Previously, when Jing Yan heard of Zhang Min’s death and released such an aura, Hua Kaizhi faintly felt that Jing Yan’s prowess might not be inferior to his own.

But that was just a feeling; he didn’t believe Jing Yan could really compare to him, a strong warrior in the Dao Spirit Realm.

Now, having seen Jing Yan take action, he realized that he had indeed underestimated Jing Yan’s strength.

Now he could almost be sure that if he were to fight with Jing Yan, it was truly uncertain who would win and who would lose.

Jing Yan indeed had the strength to contend with an Early Stage Dao Spirit Realm warrior.

The wind blew, and the scent of blood in the space grew even richer.

Some of the Dao Yi Academy students in the distance didn’t dare to approach.

This place was just outside the Green Sun Garden, with many Outer Court students of Dao Yi Academy coming and going.

Jing Yan’s confrontation with the two hall team members naturally drew much attention.

Furthermore, with the Garden Director himself present, this made people even more determined to find out what had happened.

Before Jing Yan took action and killed the hall team members, those students were discussing what had happened.

Afterwards, when Jing Yan had slain the two hall team members with a single sword strike, everyone held their breath so tightly that they couldn’t utter a word.

“Who is that young man?”

“He…

he actually killed the members of the Criminal Punishment Hall?”

“My God!

Such powerful strength, killing with a single strike, could he possibly be a Dao Spirit Realm warrior?”

All of them felt a tumult in their hearts, staring wide-eyed at Jing Yan.

A big incident had occurred!

It had been many, many years since a member of the Criminal Punishment Hall had been killed.

The Criminal Punishment Hall was a powerful law enforcement agency within the Dao Yi Academy, overseeing even the Inner Court Students.

No one dared to strike at members of the Criminal Punishment Hall, not even Inner Court Students.

Yet Jing Yan had slain two members from the Criminal Punishment Hall.

“Jing Yan, run, get out of Dao Yi Academy as fast as you can!” Hua Kaizhi shouted lowly.

“Garden Director, I still haven’t found out how Senior Sister Zhang Min died, so I’m not going anywhere,” Jing Yan said as he looked toward Hua Kaizhi and shook his head lightly.

“You don’t understand!” Hua Kaizhi said anxiously, “Run, it will be too late otherwise!

By killing the hall team members, you’re challenging the entire Criminal Punishment Hall.

It won’t be long before a Deacon from the Law Hall will personally come to capture you.

Once you’re caught, there’s no doubt you will die!

Hurry up and go!”

Clearly, Hua Kaizhi didn’t want Jing Yan, a martial talent, to end up dead in the Criminal Punishment Hall like Zhang Min, so he urged Jing Yan to leave Dao Yi Academy quickly.

Jing Yan, however, fell silent; he knew what Hua Kaizhi said was true.

Before killing the hall team members, he might have had a chance, but now that he had killed members of the Criminal Punishment Hall, there was definitely no possibility that they would let him go.

But to leave Dao Yi Academy just like that?

“Boom…”

At that moment, a vast Qi Fluctuation suddenly descended, shrouding and completely confining the entire space!
