The Sword God of the Universe
Chapter 746: Take Action

Chapter 746: Chapter 746: Take Action

Gu Xianlun’s surrounding Ancient Family Elders were also overwhelmed with excitement, their faces flushed with a red tide.

In a family, members at the elder level were at least part of the management or even senior figures, so they all had a general judgment on the family’s situation. Thus, they were all aware of the threat that Jing Yan posed to their own family.

If Mr. Tong Yue could execute Jing Yan here, the threat to the Gu Family would be eradicated.

They were all a bit impatient, eager to see Mr. Tong Yue make his move!

And Tong Yue was, obviously, infuriated by Jing Yan.

A flash of sharp light crossed his eyes, and the Primordial Energy that had been flowing slowly throughout his body suddenly became rapid. His entire presence, like a balloon exploding, bore down on Jing Yan viciously.

Jing Yan quickly collected the six Jade Bottles containing the Longevity Pills into the Qiankun Small World, then a surge of Primordial Energy burst forth, fully blocking the oppressive force within the space.

"Good lad, you’re quite strong, no wonder you dare to be presumptuous in front of me, Tong Yue!" Tong Yue roared angrily, a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth. He felt that Jing Yan’s Primordial Energy was very robust. However, he did not take it to heart, as the Gu Family had told him before that Jing Yan’s Martial Arts Cultivation was very strong.

Initially, Tong Yue had wanted to hide his identity. But now, in a fit of rage, he could no longer care about that.

The reason he had wanted to hide his identity was mainly not to alert Saint Master Shen Chong, since he had once signed an agreement with Shen Chong. Causing trouble in Holy City this time, if Shen Chong were to find out, Shen Chong might become furious and continue to pursue him.

But with Tong Yue’s irascible nature, how could he accept being scorned by Jing Yan?

Overwhelmed with rage, he no longer cared whether Jing Yan was the Great Alchemist King or whatever his title was; the only thought in his mind was to kill Jing Yan.

Of course, despite his anger, he wasn’t completely irrational. He knew that to kill Jing Yan, he had to do it quickly, for if Shen Chong got wind of it and rushed over, then he would have no chance to kill Jing Yan. After killing Jing Yan and taking his resources, he would immediately leave Holy City to hide.

Having disclosed his name, he didn’t hesitate to strike, and the violent Primordial Energy converged, forming a giant, visible, terrifying sphere in space.

At this moment, all the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners present were shaken.

Tong Yue?

They were not unfamiliar with this name. Even the older Daoist and Dao Kings knew of it. Wasn’t this the Great Demon, Tong Yue, who had once dominated the Continent centuries ago?

Tong Yue had not openly appeared on the Continent for a very long time, and likewise, many believed Tong Yue might already be dead. Unexpectedly today, Tong Yue would appear here, looking to assassinate Hall Master Jing Yan.

The name Tong Yue alone was enough to send chills down the spines of most people, not to mention witnessing the demon himself. Many martial artists nearer the front began to retreat.

Tong Yue’s notorious reputation was indeed too significant.

"Tong Yue! Who would have thought Tong Yue was still alive. I should have realized. Who else on the Continent would dare be so arrogant?"

"Jing Yan is done for; he’s facing Tong Yue. With the Saint Master not here, who can stop him?"

"He’s making a move! Can Jing Yan’s strength withstand a full blow from Tong Yue?"

"Jing Yan is also in the Dao Emperor Realm, don’t forget, Gu Mo of the Gu Family was killed by Jing Yan!"

"So what? Gu Mo was just an early stage Dao Emperor Realm practitioner. In front of Tong Yue, Gu Mo couldn’t even block a finger! Today, Jing Yan is likely doomed to die!"

A few members of the great families were discussing in low voices, excitement flashing in their eyes.

"Tong Yue! It’s actually Tong Yue!" the Great Hall Master bellowed in rage.

He had felt that the aura on Tong Yue was somewhat familiar just now, but couldn’t recall it for the moment. Originally, when the Saint Master pursued Tong Yue, he had personally accompanied the Holy Master. Not only him, the Second Hall Master and several other Hall Masters had also seen Tong Yue.

However, what they hadn’t expected was that Tong Yue had completely changed his appearance and even altered his aura to a certain extent. The disguise technique used by Tong Yue was definitely top-notch, able to change one’s personal aura. If the aura hadn’t changed and only the appearance was altered, then the Great Hall Master and the others would still be able to recognize him.

"Damn it, how could it be him?"

"Not good, Jing Yan is in danger!"

Seeing that Tong Yue had already made his move, several Hall Masters were shocked, their expressions filled with urgency.

Especially the older Hall Masters, including the Great Hall Master, they were more familiar with Tong Yue’s strength. Five hundred years ago, Tong Yue was already one of the strongest martial artists on the Heavenly Origin Continent. And now, his strength could only be stronger than before.

"Tong Yue, you’ve got some nerve, daring to cause trouble in the Holy City!" The Great Hall Master’s figure moved as he shouted and leaped towards the location of Jing Yan and Tong Yue.

The other Hall Masters also quickly followed suit, each channeling their Primordial Energy, ready to make a move.

"Hmph, a bunch of losers! Wait till I take down this kid, then we’ll have some fun!" Tong Yue lifted his gaze, glancing at the Great Hall Master and the others with a disdainful tone.

Among the nine Hall Masters, six were at the peak of the Dao Emperor Realm. However, not all peaks of the Dao Emperor Realm are the same, and for someone at the peak of the Dao Emperor Realm like Tong Yue, who was very close to the Saint Realm, the ordinary peak Dao Emperor Realm practitioners were no match for him.

Otherwise, why couldn’t Saint Master Shen Chong kill him?

Tong Yue was known for his speed, coupled with his unparalleled strength, that was why even Shen Chong could do nothing but compromise by using certain advantages.

As Tong Yue mocked, speaking to the Great Hall Master and the others, the Power he released swept towards Jing Yan.

Cracks in the crumbling space extended densely. In some places, the cracks were wide enough to fit a head, and in others, they were as thin as a human arm. The terrifying power wreaked havoc, oppressing the martial artists present to the point where they couldn’t even breathe.

Within that Qi Fluctuation, a void Palm Seal, carrying vast power, had already reached in front of Jing Yan. Even a thread of the surrounding oppressive force could severely injure an early stage Dao Emperor practitioner.

Jing Yan, under that mass of energy, felt it most clearly.

He had heard of the name Tong Yue and knew who the other party was. However, Jing Yan wasn’t nervous.

If he were at the early stage of the Dao Emperor Realm, Jing Yan truly wouldn’t have the confidence to confront Tong Yue. But now, Jing Yan had reached the late stage of the Dao Emperor Realm, not to mention that he had set up twelve Big Arrays inside and outside the Splendid Dojo. Even if Jing Yan didn’t move, simply activating the Power of the arrays would be enough to trap Tong Yue inside.

However, now, a surge of killing intent rose in Jing Yan’s heart against Tong Yue. He had already decided to execute Tong Yue right here.

In face of the attack unleashed by Tong Yue, Jing Yan threw out a punch. The phantom formed from the punch was imbued with the Sword Intent Jing Yan had comprehended, and in that instant, it seemed as if one could sense the Law’s power swirling around that phantom punch.
