Chapter 1147: Chapter 1147: Did I Allow You to Die?
"Life and Death Slaughter Sword!"
Yang Yan let out a fierce shout, his azure robe billowing, as he gracefully thrust forward with his longsword in hand.
It seemed like nothing more than a common thrust from an ordinary person!
Yet who would dare underestimate it?!
The mere mention of "Life and Death Slaughter" made the Snake Demon, who was far from the battlefield, tremble a few times.
His opponent, the chief steward, seizing the opportunity, abandoned defense and launched a fierce and torrential assault.
The face of the man in black facing Yang Yan changed dramatically.
Regrettably, the mask obscured his face, and Yang Yan couldn’t see it.
He was utterly shocked, his limbs turning slightly soft under the gusts of powerful wind.
"Wind Escape!"
The man in black barely had the intention to flee, but his actions preceded his thoughts, and he turned into a whirlwind, shooting backward.
He’s really escaped!
"You!"
The other two black-clad men could only let out a shout of anger before they fell silent.
Their eyes gradually showed confusion.
When Yang Yan was only at the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, he could make the Snake Demon avoid direct confrontation with just this sword. What about after his Perfect Foundation Establishment?
Even though Yang Yan had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, and his realm was not yet consolidated.
Now, it didn’t seem so difficult to kill them...
Yang Yan clearly saw what they were thinking and gave a faint smile, saying casually:
"Killing you is as easy as slaughtering chickens."
Boom!
In the fearful eyes of the two men in black, the protective barrier they had erected with all their might shattered into pieces when touched by the sword light.
Immediately, the sword light unobstructedly sliced through the two.
Swish...
A burst of brilliant blood sprayed into the air, yet no one thought it a beautiful sight.
Only the smile on Yang Yan’s face intensified.
He stood proudly gripping his sword, the tip of the Star Night Sword pointing diagonally downwards, his smiling eyes on the retreating man in black.
That man was almost scared out of his wits!
Two Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were instantly killed by this young man with a single sword?!
"In the past, did the senior brother from the Yizheng Sect, Ouyang Feng, wish to personally defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator one day?"
"Unfortunately, he never had the chance. So, let me do a good deed and clean the sect for him!"
With a devilish smile, Yang Yan grinned at the man in black.
"Fengduan!"
As the piece of silver light swallowed everything around and appeared before his eyes, the man in black knew he was finished.
In fact, he didn’t even put up a resistance before the silver light slowly consumed him.
The seemingly gentle silver light was terrifyingly powerful.
The third man in black exploded with a loud bang, his entire body crumbling at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into fragments of blood petals that drifted in the air.
Gulp!
The remaining man in black swallowed involuntarily at the sight.
"It’s bad, Senior Brother, he’s going to run!"
A disciple immediately pointed at the man transforming into wind and dust, shouting.
"He won’t escape!"
With icy eyes, Lin Zimu commanded the Dragon Elephant Sword Array to charge forward, blocking the black-clad man’s escape route, trapping him tightly.
Now, it’s no longer the arrogant scene set by Yizheng Sect, but the disciples of the Ancient Abyss Sect suppressing this Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Yang Yan only glanced over, then turned his gaze to the Snake Demon entangled with the chief steward.
He led the team to set out; the original target was this Snake Demon.
The sect never anticipated that the worst outcome wasn’t the emergence of a Foundation Establishment Great Demon, but that it was all a grand conspiracy.
The most dangerous things in the world have always been the human heart!
Who would have thought Yizheng Sect would so blatantly target the disciples of the Ancient Abyss Sect?!
With Yang Yan about to strike at the Snake Demon, the chief steward suddenly called out while grappling with the Snake Demon:
"Ancestor, this demon needs to be kept as evidence for the sect’s future crusade against the Yizheng Sect!"
There was one more thing the chief steward couldn’t say in this situation, and he had no place to say it.
Stewards like them have far more considerations than ordinary sect disciples.
Without explanation, Yang Yan understood how the Ancient Abyss Sect’s relationships would develop with the other nine sects in the future.
Keeping evidence at hand, whether useful or not, at least positions the Ancient Abyss Sect on the side of justice.
After a moment of silence, Yang Yan lightly nodded, saying a single word:
"Okay."
With a slight movement of his right hand, the Star Night sword emitted a beam of sword light.
"Ah—Ah—"
The Snake Demon let out two strange cries toward the sky, and the chief steward stopped his attack, staring in astonishment at a small blood seam on the Snake Demon’s main body.
With one sword, it annihilated the Demon Core deeply hidden within the Snake Demon!
In other words, this Snake Demon, which had cultivated for over a thousand years, had its millennia-long cultivation destroyed by Yang Yan’s single sword?!
Aside from its already formed Foundation Establishment physique, Yang Yan couldn’t make it degenerate any further, but that Foundation Establishment Stage was no longer existent.
The Snake Demon plummeted heavily from the sky, hitting the ground with great dust scattering, struggling and twisting its massive body for tens of breaths in the howling wind.
In the end, it seemed to exhaust its last strength, helplessly lying on the ground, slowly transforming into a small blue-green snake.
Meanwhile, the red gleam between its eyes also dissipated, losing its luster.
Perhaps, being taken back to the Ancient Abyss Sect alive was already a good ending for it.
Faced with this outcome, it naturally couldn’t muster any thoughts of resistance, resignedly waiting there for the final judgment.
On the other side, the last remaining man in black, faced with the horrifying fact of his four companions’ deaths, no longer harbored any thoughts of resistance.
He just wanted to escape!
Escape as far away as possible!
However, Lin Zimu and the others who surrounded him extinguished his last hope completely.
"If that’s the case, then let’s die together!!"
The head of the man in black was raised, his neck surging with dozens of sinuous veins.
Boom!
The aura on his body surged several levels upward in an instant.
"It’s bad, he’s going to self-destruct!"
"Senior Brother, retreat quickly!"
"He’s going to self-destruct!!"
Even if they had the Dragon Elephant Sword Array to jointly resist the power of the self-destruction, the best outcome would be severe injury against a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator’s self-destruction.
And Lin Zimu, who was at the forefront, was already fighting with an injured body.
He would certainly receive the most damage.
In the worst-case scenario, he could be dragged to his grave by this man in black!
Yang Yan suddenly looked over, his eyes radiating a terrifying light.
"Did I allow you to die?"
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a horizontal slash of silver light made heaven and earth lose their color.
Many days later, villagers from nearby villages in Yuwen Country came to check.
All that remained on the ground were pools of blood not yet entirely vanished.
Thus, a new legend spread among the people.
An Immortal Master, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years deep in the mountains, transcended a tribulation on the eighth of July, in the year one thousand two hundred ninety-eight of the Yuwen Calendar.
The Immortal Master endured bravely under the Celestial Tribulation for a long time, with wounds increasing on his body inferred from the pools of blood on the ground.
In the end, even formidable human strength failed to resist the heavenly might, and the Great Power Immortal Master ultimately perished.
