Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Killing Wen Lan

Without time to think further, Wen Lan swiftly swung his arm, and the blue longsword in his hand left a shocking black crack in the space, wrapping around Jing Yan.

In fact, at this moment, not only was Wen Lan confused about the situation. Even the onlookers didn’t know exactly what had happened.

Wen Lan’s third strike evidently did not cause substantial damage to Jing Yan. But why did Jing Yan rush towards Wen Lan? Jing Yan’s weapon had flown out—was he planning to approach Wen Lan and counterattack with his bare hands?

While everyone was still puzzled and unclear about Jing Yan’s intentions, suddenly, a black short sword appeared in Jing Yan’s hand, surrounded by murderous intent and densely covered with magic patterns.

"Holy Light Sword Technique!"

"Void Flame!"

"Flash Spirit!"

"Sword Intent!"

At the same moment, Jing Yan deployed almost all of his techniques. He had no choice; to kill Wen Lan, he had to be quick. His prior feigned weakness was intended to catch him off guard.

Though Wen Lan’s Cultivation was somewhat lower than that of the Dark Night Ace, Mr. Yin, he was still a Daoist Realm Martial Artist and the Clan Leader of the Wen Family, likely holding many trump cards. If Jing Yan had attacked aggressively from the start, should Wen Lan have been put at a disadvantage, many unforeseen changes could have arisen.

Up to now, only two Daoist Realm powerhouses from the Wen Family had been deployed. There must be another Daoist Realm Martial Artist hidden in the shadows. Therefore, Jing Yan’s strategy was probably the most rational to kill Wen Lan.

When Jing Yan pushed his Primordial Energy to the limit with all techniques on display, Wen Lan’s expression drastically changed. He felt he couldn’t withstand Jing Yan’s attack. Not only was Jing Yan’s movement speed fast, but his attack pace had also increased significantly. Even if he wanted to retreat to avoid some of the sword lights, he couldn’t.

"No!"

"Damn it!"

"You little bastard, you dare to ambush me!" If by now Wen Lan hadn’t realized that Jing Yan had just been pretending to be weak, then he was a fool.

Precisely because he realized this, Wen Lan was frenzied with anger. The area where he and Jing Yan were fighting had already moved away from the Wen Family Mansion, making it too late for the Wen Family’s powerhouses to come to the rescue.

"Old fool, go to hell!" A cold smile appeared on the corner of Jing Yan’s mouth.

"Chi!"

"Pfft!" Wen Lan’s resistance lasted only the blink of an eye before it was shattered by Jing Yan’s black Sword Light. The dark halo then penetrated through Wen Lan’s body.

Jing Yan striking with all his might was something even Mr. Yin could not withstand, let alone Wen Lan, who only had Early Stage Dao Master Realm Cultivation. Moreover, the black short sword in Jing Yan’s hand was also a Dao Artifact, far more terrifying in power than the Skyfire Sword.

It would have been bizarre if Wen Lan could have blocked it.

Because Wen Lan was unprepared just now, he didn’t even have time to use his life-saving trump card.

Above in the sky, Wen Lan’s body violently trembled before crashing down.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked. No one, except Jing Yan, including Mu Liantian who was quite familiar with Jing Yan, could have imagined this would happen.

"Wen Lan was killed by Jing Yan?" Zhou Shangyun muttered in a low voice.

"It looks like Wen Lan is really dead." Mu Liantian nodded, having been extremely anxious just a moment ago, fearing that Jing Yan would be slain by Wen Lan. Unexpectedly, it was Wen Lan who died, the Clan Leader of the Wen Family.

"How is this possible? Jing Yan’s strength..." Lu Family Patriarch also looked stunned.

"This kid, does he really have the strength to kill a Daoist Realm Martial Artist? Was that Dark Night Ace really killed by Jing Yan?" Yuan Family Patriarch exclaimed in shock.

"That’s terrifying; he was intentionally weak in front of Wen Lan to lower his guard, such a terrifying schemer!" Cai Family Patriarch said, his face also changing dramatically.

Among these people, Divine Wind Academy Dean Guan Yue had the ugliest expression. Shocked yet somewhat relieved, he had previously questioned Jing Yan at Prince Manor when Wen Lan killed Xu Dong, the Vice President of the Alchemist Association. At that time, Jing Yan said if he was dissatisfied, he could also come up for a battle. Fortunately, he did not go up; the result would have been hard to predict if he had.

Now, the martial artists observing from afar were completely boiling over.

Although they witnessed the whole process, it was still hard for them to believe for a moment. Wen Lan, the Clan Leader of the Wen Family, just died like that? The Clan Leader of one of the Four Great Families in Lanqu County City, killed by a twenty-year-old martial artist?

In the minds of these martial artists, Wen Lan was an untouchable existence, almost invisible when looked up to. No one could have thought that someone as powerful as Wen Lan could die, and so suddenly and cleanly. That was a Daoist Realm powerhouse! There weren’t many Daoist Realm powerhouses throughout Lanqu County.

"Clan Leader..." Countless people from the Wen Family, after briefly being dumbfounded, burst out in roars.

As Wen Lan’s body plummeted from the sky and hadn’t touched the ground yet, numerous people from the Wen Family rushed forward crazily, attempting to catch Wen Lan’s body the moment it fell.

"Hmph!" Jing Yan surveyed with a glance, his figure flickering, and he arrived first at the spot where Wen Lan would fall. Seeing countless people from the Wen Family charging towards him, Jing Yan swept out with his sword; his sword light passed through them, none able to withstand it, and with just one strike, over a hundred Wen Family warriors were dead or injured.

Immediately after, Jing Yan took the Sumeru Ring from Wen Lan’s finger. He naturally had no interest in Wen Lan’s body; what interested him was only the ring on the finger of Wen Lan, the Clan Leader of the Wen Family.

"You little brute, you’re courting death!" Wen Family Supreme Elder Wen Ru, originally indifferent and fighting against Lin Qing, was now ferocious, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Jing Yan, his whole body trembling with extreme anger.

Wen Ru, of course, hadn’t expected Wen Lan to be killed by Jing Yan. Just now, Wen Lan had been overpowering Jing Yan in their fight, showing no signs that he could withstand many moves, so he hadn’t paid attention, thinking Jing Yan would quickly die under Wen Lan. But the result was far beyond his expectation.

In his furious roar, he wanted to rush toward Jing Yan.

"Elder Wen Ru, you and I are currently engaged in a battle; are you looking down on me?" Lin Qing, seeing Wen Ru wanting to break away from the battle, suddenly increased his attack speed and blocked Wen Ru’s way.

"Lin Qing, do you really want to be at deadly odds with my Wen Family?" Wen Ru’s strength was comparable to Lin Qing’s, and neither could determine a winner in a short period of time. With Lin Qing’s full-strength attack, he was unable to break free, so he could only roar in frustration.

"Elder Wen Ru, you’re mistaken in saying this; have you forgotten? You already declared us as enemies just now." Lin Qing chuckled, shaking his head as he spoke.

"Roar!" At that moment, another long howl erupted from within the Wen Family Mansion.

Following that, a silver figure burst forth, adorned with a surge of silver light into the sky.
