Chapter 455: Killing Intent

“Buzz!”

In the void, energy fluctuations were felt once again.

The light enveloping Xu Yan became much brighter.

Threads of the Power of the Dao swirled around his body, accompanied by a kind of immense Power of Law, spreading throughout the arena.

“Sizzle!”

His hands forming a Seal Technique, he unleashed another dazzling light.

Another slash of his sword was sent forth, but its power was at least a level stronger than the previous strike.

Clearly, this sword also utilized the power of laws, integrated into the sword, significantly enhancing its power.

Ji Chen squinted his eyes, not daring to be slightest bit negligent.

The opponent was a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse; handling such a level of person, any carelessness would surely lead to a disastrous end.

“Buzz!”

He pointed with two fingers, pushing the Great Dao Sword Intent to its limit, and sent forth another sword strike.

The power of Ji Chen’s strike was also much stronger than his previous one.

In addition to the Sword Law and Thunderfire Law, Ji Chen now displayed a fourth law, which he comprehended in the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion—the Great Mountain Law!

At this moment, Ji Chen infused the power of four laws into this sword, transforming it into an astonishing sword light to confront Xu Yan.

“Crack!”

In just the blink of an eye, their attacks collided.

Just like the previous collision, under the void, both sword lights simultaneously shattered into countless fine sword auras, eventually vanishing.

“That is…”

“The fourth law!”

After a brief silence, the whole place erupted in excitement.

No one could suppress their surprise.

After the third law, Ji Chen unexpectedly displayed a fourth law!

This completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“How is that possible…”

“He has mastered the power of four laws!”

In a certain part of the crowd, Xu Kun’s face was quite grim.

He initially thought that as long as his elder brother took action, Ji Chen would easily be suppressed and humiliated.

But who could have anticipated that at this moment, facing his brother’s attack, Ji Chen could withstand it, and the cards he consecutively revealed left everyone present astounded.

This meant that even if Ji Chen lost, he would surely be defeated with honor; not only would he not lose face, but he might even receive much praise!

This was a result that Xu Kun never wanted to see.

He wanted Ji Chen to be embarrassed and humiliated!

“Four laws, such talent, even looking throughout the Nine Provinces of the Immortal Realm, is definitely considered a first-rate prodigy,” someone exclaimed, astonished.

Even Bai Shenghao and Wang Xiyuan, renowned young kings in Yanzhou, had only comprehended three laws.

Yet Ji Chen displayed four, his talent and potential already on par with these two!

Bai Shenghao’s eyes gleamed as he gazed at Ji Chen; even his composure couldn’t help but be amazed.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiyuan also squinted his eyes, with strands of battle intent faintly surging in them.

Evidently, the strength Ji Chen showcased had truly piqued his interest.

“Four laws?”

Above the void, Xu Yan frowned, his gaze fixed on Ji Chen, “Your talent is indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately, tonight, you are destined to fall by my hand.”

After his astonishment, he sneered coldly.

The stronger Ji Chen’s talent appeared, the more he wanted to suppress him and dampen his spirit.

Even, if possible, he might strike a lethal blow.

Since they were already in opposition, he certainly couldn’t let such a threatening figure continue to exist to avoid endless troubles in the future.

“Kill!”

With this thought, Xu Yan’s eyes filled with ferocity, unabashedly revealing his murderous intent.

“Buzz!”

His Spiritual Sea trembled as the terrifying Power of the Dao was instantly driven to the peak.

Another sword strike was slashed down, entwined with an extremely astonishing aura of law.

This time, Xu Yan utilized two types of law power in his sword, making this sword strike several times more powerful than the previous two!

“Buzz!”

The space trembled as the terrifying aura spread out to the surrounding void.

The horrifying fluctuations made the whole area warp significantly.

At this moment, it wasn’t just within the Immortal Spirit Manor; many cultivators in Yanxian City were caught off guard, sensing that earth-shattering sword momentum, and their eyes unavoidably turned toward the direction of this void.

“What happened?”

“What a terrifying aura, who is fighting?”

“It seems to be happening within the Immortal Spirit Manor?”

“Reportedly, tonight, there’s a gathering of young prodigies in the Immortal Spirit Manor, and indeed, as expected, a battle broke out.”

“Isn’t that Xu Yan, a core disciple of the Profound Celestial Pavilion? Disciple of the Grand Elder Li Mengguang, who dares to clash with him?”

“That young man in white… he seems a bit familiar…”

“I remember now, isn’t he Ji Chen, who had a confrontation with Bai Shengrong during the day?”

“Oh? The one with a Special Physique and comprehension of Great Dao Sword Intent, Ji Chen?”

Many were discussing, their gazes entirely focused on the space above the Immortal Spirit Manor.

“That aura… Xu Yan at least used two types of law power, is that true? Facing Ji Chen, even with his Sixth Layer Cultivation in the Reincarnation Realm, he was driven to such an extent?”

Someone was amazed, finding it very unbelievable.

Allegedly, Ji Chen’s cultivation seemed to be only at the Reincarnation Realm Third Layer, a far cry from Xu Yan.

Yet even with such a disparity, Xu Yan had still been forced to exert two types of law power?

“This is nearly full force, isn’t it? Is that Ji Chen really that difficult?”

“It can’t be, can it? Ultimately, he’s only at Reincarnation Realm Third Layer; it’s hard to imagine how he could push Xu Yan to this point.”

Amid the discussions, many hurried toward the Immortal Spirit Manor, wanting to witness this duel of young prodigies up close.

“Ji Chen, let’s see how you defend against this sword strike!”

A cold snort echoed through the void; Xu Yan’s murderous intent had risen, the terrifying sword light seemed to cut across this world, entwined with terrifying Power of the Dao and aura of law, slashing toward Ji Chen.

It seemed as though it was a Scythe of Death from Desolate Ancient times, carrying a sense of judgment and slaughter, capable of annihilating all living beings in this world.

“If that’s the case…”

Ji Chen’s eyes flashed with cold light, sensing Xu Yan’s murderous intent approaching menacingly. Originally, he hadn’t planned to truly become enemies with him to avoid being targeted by the Profound Celestial Pavilion.

After all, being entangled with such a powerful Sect would be tremendously troublesome.

But now, with Xu Yan harboring murderous intentions, he no longer had any reason to hold back. Tonight, even at the risk of offending the Profound Celestial Pavilion, he must slay the opponent beneath the starry sky and then quickly leave, fleeing to the Spirit Realm.

The mountains are high and the roads are long; how far could the Profound Celestial Pavilion go to find him?
