Chapter 2446: Destroying the City Lord’s Estate (Three)
“You’ve actually activated the protective formation cast down by the ancestor of the Guan family. It’ll consume quite a lot of energy now that you’ve activated it. Aren’t you overreacting a little, brother Feiyu...”
“To use the power of the protective formation to kill an early Godking is a little over the top...”
The two envoys from the Gloomwater sect said sternly from behind Guan Feiyu.
Clearly, the two envoys did not take Jian Chen seriously.
However, at this moment, something that shocked the two envoys happened.
Jian Chen extended a finger towards the sky. A strand of sword Qi immediately shot out from his fingertip, surging into the sky like a streak of light with the power of the Laws of the Sword.
When the sword Qi collided with the streak of energy from the protective formation, the boom that they expected did not occur. The huge streak of energy was directly cleaved in half by the sword Qi, causing energy to scatter in the surroundings.
The sword Qi did not slow down at all. It continued to rise up in the sky, striking the protective formation of Scarlet Water City heavily with devastating power.
Boom!
Immediately, a deafening sound exploded in the sky. The entire Scarlet Water City shook violently. The ground trembled like a terrifying earthquake was happening. All the ancient structures standing within the city collapsed.
The protective formation over Scarlet Water City was ripped open, and the many crucial points all exploded.
In a single moment, the protective formation was completely destroyed, damaged beyond repair.
Having personally witnessed this, the eyes of the city lord, Guan Feiyu, widened. He stared straight at the sky; he was shocked.
“P- Primordial realm...” Guan Feiyu became rather tongue-tied. He stared at Jian Chen with an ugly expression as deep fear, and a hint of anger filled his eyes.
Guan Feiyu swore to himself, “Since you’re a Primordial realm expert, couldn’t you just expose your strength right from the start?” Against a Primordial realm expert, he would have never dared to act up. He would try to discuss and negotiate everything.
However, this person just happened to hide his strength, causing the originally tiny matter to develop into something like this.
Guan Feiyu became even more pained when he thought about the destroyed formation around Scarlet Water City. It was a Primordial realm formation. It had been extremely difficult to cast down.
“Senior...” Guan Feiyu said with an ugly expression. However, Jian Chen did not give him any time to speak. He extended a finger and produced another powerful strand of sword Qi. It struck the defensive formation around the city lord’s estate with the pressure of the Primordial realm.
There were two powerful formations within Scarlet Water City. The first formation was used to protect the entire city.
The second formation was around the city lord’s estate. It was used to protect the estate.
The two formations had both reached the levels of the Primordial realm.
Moreover, the formation around the city lord’s estate was even more powerful than the one around the city.
However, its power was still limited. It could only block attacks from Third Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes.
Jian Chen, on the other hand, possessed battle prowess equivalent to the Sixth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime without using a god artifact. A formation that could only stop Third Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes would obviously be useless before him.
With another boom, the formation around the city lord’s estate shattered from Jian Chen’s strike. Powerful energy wreaked havoc, directly demolishing the ancient structure that had been standing for a very long time ago.
In an instant, the city lord’s estate was reduced to ruins. All the armored soldiers and a few servants fled from the ruins in horrible shape.
Jian Chen’s control over his power had reached a level of great mastery. The power of his strike happened to be exactly enough to destroy the formation, and the energy shockwaves were just enough to demolish the estate. However, it would not harm those uninvolved.
“Senior, what are you trying to do? You can’t forget that our Scarlet Water City stands in the territory of the Gloomwater sect...” Guan Feiyu’s face changed drastically. He had witnessed Jian Chen’s strength from how he destroyed the formation around the estate so easily.
“I said it already. There’s no need for the city lord’s estate to remain,” said Jian Chen as killing intent churned from him. The destruction of the Gloomwater sect would begin with Scarlet Water City.
Sensing Jian Chen’s killing intent, Guan Feiyu realised the severity of the matter. He no longer hesitated and immediately crushed a jade talisman to ask for help from the Gloomwater sect.
“Brother Feiyu, the two of us will return to the sect immediately to seek reinforcement.” The two envoys from the Gloomwater sect had paled already. They both bid farewell to Guan Feiyu without any prior agreement and did not pay any consideration to his response. They immediately flew off in the direction of the Gloomwater sect.
“No one from the Gloomwater sect can leave.” Jian Chen’s eyes were cold. He did not even glance at the two envoys, but his eyes suddenly shone extremely brightly. They seemed to be filled with endless swords Qi such that people would not dare to stare right into them.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword intent radiated out, enveloping a range of a hundred thousand kilometres.
This was Jian Chen’s Ultimate Way of the Sword. As soon as he used it, Jian Chen became the only ruler within the range of a hundred thousand kilometres. He possessed authority over the lives of all things. He only needed a single thought to determine the fate of all cultivators weaker than him.
The envoys who had fled several thousand kilometres away through secret techniques only felt that they now stood in a sea of sword Qi. The sword Qi drowned them instantly, turning them into a bloody mist. Before they could even cry out, they were dead.
“Y- you’ve actually killed disciples of the Gloomwater sect...” Guan Feiyu cried out. The Gloomwater sect was one of the peak sects in the region. Killing a disciple of the Gloomwater sect was not as simple as killing a person from his city lord’s estate.
At this moment, a surprised cry rang out. A completely naked young man was pulled into the sky under the restraint of an invisible power. He was furious and taken aback.
The young man was the young city lord of Scarlet Water City. From his appearance, he was clearly going at it.
Jian Chen suddenly looked at the young man. In the next moment, the young man produced a chilling cry. He seemed to be in extreme pain as if he was undergoing the most brutal torture in the world.
Starting from his feet, his body vanished bit by bit, turning into a bloody rain. It gradually spread to his waist and then to his head.
In just a few seconds, the young city lord of Scarlet Water City was dead. He had died to Jian Chen’s Ultimate Way of the Sword. Just like the two other disciples of the Gloomwater sect, he had not died with a complete body.
In the end, Jian Chen looked towards the city lord. With a thought, Guan Feiyu directly died. He followed the fate of the three other people.
With Jian Chen’s current level of cultivation, he could control the fates of all people with his Ultimate Way of the Sword. Only Primordial realm experts could fend it off.
“From today onwards, the city lord’s estate no longer exists. I give everyone unrelated half a minute to leave. After that time, I will be killing without mercy,” Jian Chen called out coldly.
With that, figures flickered through the ruins. Many dusty soldiers and servants fled as quickly as they could.
In half a minute, not a single person alive remained within the ruins of the city lord’s estate.
Jian Chen waved his hand slightly, and a sky full of sword Qi immediately descended. It pierced through the ruins like rain.
In an instant, the ruins vanish. The entire city lord’s estate was gone, leaving not a single pebble behind.
