Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Showing Weakness [Four Updates]

"Yes, Jing Yan, you must not act rashly," said Mu Liantian, following up Jing Yan’s statement. "Given that the Wen Family has the Holy Master’s Undying Saint Order, the Prince cannot take action against the Wen Family, and as the Chief Manager of the Prince Manor, I cannot help you either. Let’s set this matter aside for now and plan carefully for the long term!"

"Prince, Lord Chief! I know you mean well, but now that I’m here today, I won’t leave so easily. Even if the Wen Family is a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, I, Jing Yan, will still break through. Rest assured, even if I cannot annihilate the Wen Family, they will find it difficult to kill me," Jing Yan said with a smile to the two men.

"Jing Yan..." Zhou Shangyun was still trying to persuade him, but before he could finish, Jing Yan had already soared into the air.

"Wen Lan, you old fool, today is the day you die!" Jing Yan, wielding the Skyfire Sword, launched a fierce attack toward Wen Lan, who was suspended in the sky.

Even Mr. Yin, the Dark Night Ace assassin, died at Jing Yan’s hands. Wen Lan might be the Wen Family Patriarch, but it was unlikely that he had greater strength than Mr. Yin. Today, even if he couldn’t annihilate the Wen Family, he was determined to kill Wen Lan.

Of course, Jing Yan did not use his full strength from the start. He controlled the Primordial Energy spurred within the Fog Vortex to about sixty percent of its potential.

Since the Prince could not take action against the Wen Family, and Jing Yan wanted to kill Wen Lan, a frontal assault would not be easy. The Wen Family was home to many powerful figures; from what the Prince had said, there might be as many as three Daoist Realm Martial Artists within the Wen Family.

So to kill Wen Lan, he would need to use some strategy.

Seeing Jing Yan attack him, Wen Lan’s expression grew firm, and cold light flickered in his eyes.

"I want to see just how capable you are, you little brat," bellowed Wen Lan.

Though he seemed to disregard Jing Yan completely, he was very cautious at heart. He had heard from the Sixth Elder that Jing Yan had slain the Vice President of the Alchemist Association, a peak figure in the Dao Spirit Realm, with a single move. Such strength was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, although Wen Lan did not believe that Mr. Yin had died at Jing Yan’s hands, it was still a point of doubt.

So, facing Jing Yan, Wen Lan was naturally more careful.

"You brat, you’re courting death!"

"You little bastard, dare to attack the Wen Family Patriarch, die!"

"Die at the hands of this old man!"

From within the Wen Family Mansion, streaks of light flew out fiercely. There were indeed many Dao Spirit Realm powerhouses in the Wen Family. In a blink of an eye, dozens of lights had surrounded Jing Yan, all of them Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists.

These Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists, if alone or even in groups of three or five, did not concern Jing Yan at all. But when dozens of Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists joined forces, their Attack Power was not to be taken lightly.

With a jolt to his mind, Jing Yan prepared to take out the Great Sun Meteor Array. Although the Array Plate-mounted Great Sun Meteor Array was less powerful than the standard version, it should be sufficient to counter dozens of Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists for a short time. It should be noted that even the miniature Seven Killings Soul-locking Array could make ordinary Daoist Realm Martial Artists meet their demise.

As the Great Sun Meteor Array was designed for group attacks, capable of targeting multiple foes simultaneously, the weaker Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists would likely be unable to withstand its Power.

"Jing Yan, I’m here to help!" Dean Wen Guang of the Dao Yi Academy, who had stood behind Zhou Shangyun, shot out with a ’whoosh’. In his shout, he sent continuous palm strikes toward the dozens of Dao Spirit Realm strongmen from the Wen Family.

Though Dean Wen Guang’s strength was formidable, even he found it difficult to kill dozens of Dao Spirit Realm Martial Artists in a short time. And among these Martial Artists, some were Peak Dao Spirit Realm Strong People.

"Dean Wen Guang, do you really want to become deadly enemies with my Wen Family?" Upon seeing Wen Guang take action, Wen Lan’s eyes changed. He rebuked angrily.

"Wen Lan, Jing Yan is a student of my Dao Yi Academy. When you hired the Dark Night Assassin to kill him, you should have known that your Wen Family and my Dao Yi Academy were already at odds!" Wen Guang replied to Wen Lan without halting his hand movements.

Those dozens of Wen Family’s Dao Spirit Realm strongmen, when faced with the attacks of a Daoist Realm warrior like Wen Guang, naturally did not dare to take it lightly, and they joined forces in full strength to counter.

"You little scoundrel, die!" Wen Lan focused his attention on Jing Yan. A burst of blue light shot out from before him—a blue longsword.

"Another Dao Artifact!" Jing Yan eyed the blue longsword in Wen Lan’s hands, his pupils flashed with intense interest.

The aura of a Dao Artifact was, of course, different from that of a Magic Artifact. The moment Wen Lan brought out the Dao Artifact, a tremendous Power spread.

"Holy Light Sword Technique!"

"Void Flame!"

The Sword Light from Jing Yan’s Skyfire Sword surged, cutting across the sky and sweeping toward Wen Lan.

"Hmph, petty tricks, daring to show off in front of me!" Wen Lan’s aura condensed, and his Primordial Energy exploded, with the blue Sword Light rapidly expanding and in a flash, dyeing the entire sky a faint blue.

"Boom!"

Their collision was brilliant and supremely powerful.

In the clash, Jing Yan’s figure flew backward, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

"Ha ha, with that little strength, daring to be impudent in front of me, an ignorant fool!" With one sword strike sending Jing Yan flying, Wen Lan felt a great sense of relief in his heart. Just a moment ago, he was truly concerned that Jing Yan’s strength could be comparable to his own, and he harbored a sense of wariness. However, after this exchange, Jing Yan was sent flying and was evidently wounded.

Thinking back on his prior caution, his anger flared even more. Without waiting for Jing Yan to regain his footing, he stepped forward in mid-air, closing in on Jing Yan with the intent to kill.

"Jing Yan..." Mu Liantian’s eyes bulged with rage and anxiety as he roared.

With a slight tremor in his figure, he intended to intercept the Wen Family Patriarch, Wen Lan.

"Liantian, do not act rashly," Zhou Shangyun stopped Mu Liantian.

Indeed, Zhou Shangyun was also extremely anxious and wanted to step forward to assist Jing Yan. However, if he did so, what awaited him could very well be the annihilation of the entire Prince Manor. Besides, as the Chief Manager of the Prince Manor, a public official, Mu Liantian could not help Jing Yan against Wen Lan.

"But..." Mu Liantian knew what Zhou Shangyun meant, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch Jing Yan get slaughtered.

"Chief Mu, let me do it!" At this moment, the President of the Extreme Combat Association stepped forward.

As soon as he spoke, his figure had already rushed out to confront Wen Lan.

Seeing the President of the Extreme Combat Association take action, Mu Liantian let out a sigh of relief and once more turned his anxious gaze toward the battlefield.

"Ha ha... It’s been a long time since my Wen Family had such excitement! I might as well join in the fun!"

Just then, a streak of light shot out incredibly fast from the depths of the Wen Family Mansion.

Before the words were fully uttered, the figure had already arrived at the battlefield. This person, dressed in a gray-brown robe, appeared somewhat stooped but exuded an extraordinarily imposing presence.

"The Supreme Elder!" Numerous strong individuals of the Wen Family, seeing the figure appear, paid their respects in unison.
