Chapter 617: Chapter 617 Dao King Realm Peak

Jing Yan was extremely focused, condensing his Divine Soul to its limit. He was aware of every minute change in the space around him.

Soon, Jing Yan started to feel puzzled.

Because the black chains formed by Elder Yin’s Primordial Energy did not attack him.

Elder Yin continuously swung his arms, throwing out black chains formed of Primordial Energy which quickly merged with the surrounding space. In just the span of a breath, he had thrown out dozens of black chains.

"Open!"

Then, Elder Yin forcefully roared.

"Whoosh!"

A swath of dark light suddenly appeared throughout the space.

A strong oppressive force permeated from all directions and fiercely rushed towards Jing Yan.

"Not good!" Jing Yan was also greatly shocked.

He felt that within this space, not only was there a force pressing against him, but this force also contained a terrifying gravitational pull.

Or rather, it was similar to a Confinement Force.

"Damn it, this old fellow indeed has some special methods." Jing Yan’s expression changed drastically as he continuously urged his Primordial Energy and used Sky Wings, trying to break free from the Confinement Force around him.

"Ha ha... You little brat, still trying to run?"

"Is that possible?"

"Just obediently meet your death!" Seeing Jing Yan’s movements, Elder Yin immediately sneered.

He had deployed a very strange Secret Technique. The effect of this Secret Technique was indeed similar to confinement.

Once under the envelopment of his Secret Technique, no matter how fast the opponent was, they could not escape from his palm unless their strength surpassed his.

Otherwise, they could only be at his mercy.

"Elder Yin, stop wasting words with him, kill him. This kid must have big secrets on him, after we kill him, we need to thoroughly search his body." Standing far away, Gu Xinghe, with a cruel smile, urged.

"Alright! Young master, I will execute this kid right away!" Elder Yin responded to Gu Xinghe.

Then, his figure gradually started to fade within the space.

About a breath’s time later, Elder Yin’s body completely disappeared within the space.

Jing Yan had been observing Elder Yin all along, and naturally saw the process of his disappearance clearly.

"What’s going on?"

"Where is that old fellow?" Jing Yan furrowed his brows tightly.

"Could it be another special Secret Technique? One that can conceal his body?" Jing Yan dared not slacken in the slightest.

The stronger the martial artist, the more techniques they generally possessed. This Elder Yin, obviously being a protector assigned by the Gu Family to guard the candidate clan leader Gu Xinghe, must have considerable strength; otherwise, how could he hold such an important position?

"Hmm?"

Within the range covered by his Divine Soul Power, Jing Yan sensed something unusual.

His body abruptly twisted, and the Dao Artifact Longsword in his hand suddenly swung out. Sword Light condensed and blasted forth, forming a terrifying, large black crack in the space that rapidly extended towards the distance.

"Bang!"

The blue Sword Light only traveled more than ten meters before encountering a massive resistance and immediately exploded. The space rippled, and Elder Yin’s figure reappeared.

This time, Elder Yin’s eyebrows clearly furrowed, his surprised gaze turned towards Jing Yan.

"Kid, how did you know my location?" Elder Yin appeared somewhat perplexed.

He had used a Concealment Secret Technique. This Secret Technique, especially in assassinations, had multiplied his effectiveness, making it hard even for Dao King Realm martial artists to detect his presence in advance. He concealed not just his body but also his aura, making it hard for ordinary martial artists to detect his approach. Once he got close and suddenly attacked, even Dao King Realm martial artists would generally be killed in one strike.

But Jing Yan had managed to detect him and counteract from more than ten meters away.

This was somewhat unbelievable!

Elder Yin did not think that Jing Yan was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, merely lucky. That seemed too far-fetched.

The space was so vast; he was ten meters away, and Jing Yan just happened to hit him with a random swing?

Facing Elder Yin’s question, Jing Yan did not respond.

Of course, he would not explain that it was because his Divine Soul was strong enough to track Elder Yin’s traces.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say!"

"Since you managed to find my trace, then, let’s kill you directly!" After a cold snort, Elder Yin’s body surface Primordial Energy swelled up again, his momentum continuously soared, and a terrifying pressure condensed almost substantially.

Dao King Realm Peak!

Elder Yin’s realm was clearly at the Dao King Realm Peak, just one step away from stepping into the Dao Emperor Realm.

And on the Heavenly Origin Continent, there are only so many Dao Emperor Realm martial artists. This Elder Yin was already one of the top martial artists just below the Dao Emperor Realm.

Jing Yan held his breath.

"Jing Yan, don’t resist futilely. Just obediently accept your death, and let Elder Yin give you a quick end. You should understand in your heart, no matter how you resist, it’s impossible for you to leave here alive."

"Perhaps, do you still have some matters you can’t let go of?"

"Your women? Don’t worry, I will take good care of them. For instance, Gao Feng from the Fiery Flame Commerce and your Jing Family Patriarch’s daughter Jing Ziqi, who are currently at the Red Lotus Academy, right? Oh, it seems there’s also Su Zixuan from the Splendid Pill Tower in Donglin City. I met her a few days ago; she’s indeed very beautiful."

"Let me think... Zhou Shangyun’s daughter Bai Xue, you’re also quite close with her, right? And then there’s Mu Liantian’s daughter Mu Yunfei, who seems to have a crush on you!"

"Click, click, speaking of which, they really are rare beauties on the Continent."

"Ha ha, not bad! Very good! Don’t worry, after you die, I’ll go take care of these women one by one." Gu Xinghe stood in the background, under his ferocious expression, kept arrogantly shouting.

Jing Yan’s gaze shifted to Gu Xinghe, his killing intent rapidly climbing.

The names Gu Xinghe mentioned were all familiar to Jing Yan. The problem was, how did Gu Xinghe know about them? It seemed that he had profound knowledge of his affairs, knowing even the people Jing Yan was acquainted with.

"Gu Xinghe, are you investigating me?" Jing Yan’s voice was low and stern.

"Investigate you?"

"Jing Yan, you are wrong there! As for you, there’s really no need for investigation; my Gu Family already knows everything about you. Of course, not just you, but your entire Jing Family is under the surveillance of my Gu Family. As for the reason, you should clearly understand - the Qiankun Ring is not something you should touch." Gu Xinghe proudly said.

"Gu Xinghe, you’re courting death!" Jing Yan urged his Sky Wings, his body rapidly rushing towards Gu Xinghe.

But under the Confinement Secret Method deployed by Elder Yin, Jing Yan’s speed was severely affected. His current speed was at most equivalent to the flying speed of an ordinary Dao Spirit Realm martial artist.

"Kid, your end has come!" Elder Yin attacked, silver light shining on his fists as it surged towards Jing Yan.
