Chapter 1641: Chapter 148: Slaughter Saint on the Heavenly Road
Zhou Yan stepped forward, causing Zhuge Qiyan to feel a tinge of worry.
At this moment, Zhou Yan really shouldn’t have appeared, because those who came this time were true figures of great power, indeed formidable experts.
Moreover, since they came here with no fear at all, it was clear they were not coming with good intentions.
Zhuge Qiyan immediately wanted Zhou Yan to retreat, but Zhou Yan had already stepped out first, shielding Zhuge Qiyan.
At the same time, Zhou Yan’s soul aura slightly trembled and spread out.
Instantly, Elder Zhou and Fifth Elder felt an extreme pressure suddenly shatter and disappear.
The two staggered, nearly losing their balance, sweat trickling down their foreheads.
But at this moment, their hearts became incredibly complicated.
Because at this critical moment, Zhou Yan actually bore all the oppressive aura by himself, facing a dozen Saint-level powerhouses alone.
Elder Zhou and Fifth Elder felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Even now, knowing that the Heavenly Mechanism’s Thirty-Three Heavens Road had become different and extremely formidable, they were amazed at some of Zhou Yan’s actions, but deep inside, there was still a sense of fear.
One could say, Zhou Yan had done many things, giving the Heavenly Mechanism Sect an almost rebirth-like transformation, but Elder Zhou and Fifth Elder and the other elders didn’t feel much gratitude, instead, they were extremely wary of Zhou Yan, thinking he had ulterior motives or plans to destroy the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Yet at this moment, all their strange thoughts dissipated due to Zhou Yan’s casual action.
At this moment, looking at Zhou Yan’s lonely crane-like back, Elder Zhou and Fifth Elder suddenly felt their eyes sting.
Inexplicably, because of this small action, their eyes became moist.
Elder Zhou felt this way, Fifth Elder felt this way, even Zhuge Qiyan, at this moment, was emotionally impacted, resulting in an indescribable sense of being moved.
However, she ultimately was the Sect Master, so she had to step forward no matter what.
Yet, as she moved forward again, a force of Heavenly Mechanism directly stopped her.
"Sect Master, leave these old immortals to me, Zhou Yan." Zhou Yan said calmly.
"Ah—Zhou Yan, you—"
As Zhou Yan spoke, the dozen or so Saint-level elders immediately looked exceptionally cold, their eyes filled with an indescribably sharp killing intent.
However, they didn’t make a move, but the ferocity of their cold smiles was quite evident.
The killing intent was intense, with no concealment whatsoever.
"Sect Master, if you don’t retreat, you can just watch."
Zhou Yan spoke again, then his gaze fell on a few elders not far ahead, saying: "You old things, will you come at me together, or one by one?"
"Heh, truly arrogant. Just don’t know if your strength matches your words."
"You’ll see if it’s the same once we start! Furthermore, since you’ve come here, if you don’t take a look at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Thirty-Three Heavens Road, wouldn’t it be a neglect of our duty as hosts?"
As Zhou Yan spoke, with a sweep of his hand, a terrifying power of Heavenly Mechanism directly formed what resembled a circular arc.
Like a light curtain blocking the sky and sun, it descended directly.
Suddenly, the void twisted, and Heaven and Earth changed.
Zhou Yan’s figure suddenly became frozen.
But it wasn’t just Zhou Yan, Elder Zhou, and Fifth Elder beside him, as well as those dozen saints, were all enveloped by this invisible rule ability, completely immobilized.
The world suddenly turned dark and then instantly bright again.
In the next moment, the void changed, a mesmerizing and colorful environment rendered everyone present seemingly stupefied.
"Welcome to the first layer of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Thirty-Three Heavens Road. Rest assured, here you can properly experience whether the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is truly a worthless sect."
Zhou Yan stood with his hands behind his back, coldly staring at the dozen Saints.
The souls of these dozen Saints were drawn by Zhou Yan into the Heavenly Mechanism’s Thirty-Three Heavens Road through the Yellow Bell and Emperor Pattern Ancient Array.
Although killing their souls here wouldn’t lead to their death, it would be enough to devour more than half of their soul energy, greatly supplementing and stabilizing the energy maintenance of the Heavenly Mechanism’s Thirty-Three Heavens Road.
At the same time, slaughtering these dozen Saints here also served as a real warning to them.
In reality, Zhou Yan could not kill these people, even though he possessed some background, many abilities were still restricted by external rules and could not be unleashed.
Besides, the realms of these Saints were impossible for Zhou Yan to discern with his current insight.
Therefore, Zhou Yan had no certainty.
But within the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, within this True Illusion Realm, Zhou Yan’s soul quality, possessing the soul quality of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, was no longer bound by the rules, and here, Zhou Yan could slay them without much difficulty.
This was why Zhou Yan was completely unafraid of these people.
"Oh? The Heavenly Mechanism’s Thirty-Three Heavens Road is so splendid? However, no matter how splendid, you must die this time, and no one can save you!"
"Heavenly Mechanism Sect, courting its own destruction!"
"Indeed, let’s end this quickly!"
A few elders sneered coldly as they spoke.
They didn’t even realize they were in soul form.
This situation was indeed extremely laughable.
At this moment, Zhuge Qiyan gestured to the two elders, almost simultaneously stepping back a few paces.
Zhou Yan’s words made Zhuge Qiyan less worried, but she was very curious about how Zhou Yan would handle this situation?
Could it be that he would still use the Yellow Bell?
While Zhuge Qiyan was contemplating, she saw Zhou Yan say, "You all talk a lot of nonsense. Show me what you’ve got, or you won’t have the chance to use it!"
"Boy, you are truly arrogant. Do you think just because you have a Holy Weapon Bell, you can be invincible in the world? Hmph!"
The speaking elder was Saint Master Billion Light.
This was a cultivator who controlled light attribute energy.
"Is that so? Then go ahead!"
Zhou Yan sneered, mocking.
The face of Saint Master Billion Light instantly turned unspeakably ugly. Immediately, his hand abruptly condensed, and a piece of white light appeared in his hand, within which a white long sword appeared in his grasp.
"Die!"
His sword slashed out a trajectory of Sword Dao, revealing an ancient and terrifying Sword Intent.
Within the Sword Intent, there carried the frightening aura of soul devouring, fury, and slaughter.
In the outside world, Zhou Yan would not only be unable to resist, but would even fail to grasp the trajectory of this sword.
Unfortunately, this place is the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, a place that Zhou Yan created akin to the True Illusion Realm.
Therefore, here, with Zhou Yan’s soul comparable to the quality of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable’s soul, such attacks are kindergarten stuff.
That incredibly terrifying sword had already unleashed all the potential of Saint Master Billion Light. He had no intention of holding back, nor would he be careless, even when facing a ’Soul Condensation Realm’ fifth-level ’junior’ like Zhou Yan, which shows that this person is certainly not benevolent.
However, when that deadly sword came slashing over, Zhou Yan didn’t even try to evade.
Zhuge Qiyan, who was initially not very worried about Zhou Yan, became pale upon seeing this scene. She thought Zhou Yan had no ability to react, resulting in being killed in seconds.
Despite initially knowing this is the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, not truly fatal, now, because everything on-site is too real and terribly felt, at such a critical moment, Zhuge Qiyan and the two elders completely forgot they are on the Heavenly Road and not in reality.
The three almost instantly had their eyes wide open, their breathing seemed to halt, their gaze fixed on Zhou Yan.
In that instant, as if their hearts were bound, the three almost instinctively wanted to help, but the killing intent of Saint Master Billion Light was too fast.
The moment they noticed, the strike had already concluded.
"Is he—going to die?"
At that instant, Zhuge Qiyan’s heart tightened extremely, she seemed to see the terrifying fate of Zhou Yan being slashed to death by a sword.
Her heart felt suffocating, like it had reached her throat.
But that scene did not happen.
Because when that sword was less than a half inch from Zhou Yan’s forehead, Zhou Yan’s two fingers easily pinched the sword.
"Buzz—"
The terrifying killing intent of Saint Master Billion Light was caught by Zhou Yan’s bare hand, a situation that made Saint Master Billion Light’s face instantly turn extremely ugly.
"This sword is quite good. Just now I didn’t have a weapon. I’ll take it. Thank you, Saint Master Billion Light, for generously gifting it."
As Zhou Yan spoke, his two fingers snapped, then pulled downwards.
"Buzz—"
The sword trembled violently.
But after a moment, all the luster of this sword disappeared, subsequently, this sword became as red as blood, like a stream of blood light, starting to swirl around Zhou Yan’s body.
"Pff—"
Saint Master Billion Light spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his face instantly turning extremely pale!
"No, impossible! How can he catch a Holy Weapon bare-handed!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Saint Master Billion Light found it extremely unbelievable.
He seemed mad.
Yet Zhou Yan merely looked at him coldly, saying, "Alright, you can die now!"
As Zhou Yan spoke, he extended his hand, and then the blood light immediately transformed into a blood sword in his hand.
Then, Zhou Yan directly slashed out a sword.
This sword was identical to the one Saint Master Billion Light had slashed out before!
"Billion Light Killing Dao?! No, impossible!"
"The ultimate skill of my Billion Light Holy Land, how could you possibly know?! Who exactly are you!"
Saint Master Billion Light’s face was filled with infinite astonishment.
But at that moment, the blood light abruptly pierced through his forehead.
