Chapter 697: Chapter 373: Truly Deserving! My Word Is the Law!

At the current level, any Awakening Vein Realm expert of the Great Yue Dynasty is nothing but a clay chicken and pottery dog to Luo Cheng, not worth a strike!

Yun Tianyan was naturally no exception.

Originally, by Luo Cheng’s estimation, to take Yun Tianyan’s life, it would take just three casual sword strikes if he fully unleashed his Sword Intent and Martial Soul!

Just to be sure, Luo Cheng added a fourth sword strike!

Since it’s a duel to the death, there’s no need to hold back, so what if the means are ruthless and domineering? It also serves as a lesson for those Fierce Cloud Sect disciples who look down on him!

This fourth sword, however, by a twist of fate, happened to avoid Xu Daoyan’s obstruction!

The Sword Qi shot fiercely, rampaging across the sky.

Yun Tianyan’s figure stood fixed in mid-air, clutching his neck, his eyes staring fiercely at Luo Cheng, with a hoarse voice:

“Impossible… I’ve already comprehended half-step Sword Intent, even touched the true Sword Intent, grasped a bit of the essence of Sword Intent Transformation, so why can’t I withstand your Sword Intent…”

His eyes were filled with madness, unwillingness, and deep disbelief and confusion!

He was considered a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman, a super genius who awakened the Spirit Martial Soul, recognized as the undefeated king of the Inner Sect by the Three Sects!

What is Luo Cheng?

A waste who awakened the Wasted Martial Soul, an ant he never glanced at!

Even a second earlier, Yun Tianyan never had a fleeting thought that he might lose this battle!

How could he possibly be defeated!

Pu!

Overwhelmed by emotions, with every word Yun Tianyan spoke, a torrent of blood gushed through his fingers, and with all his might, he hoarsely asked his biggest question:

“Could it be… you’ve already become a Sword Intent Level Swordsman?”

Yun Tianyan could only imagine this possibility for his defeat!

Luo Cheng shook his head and frankly said, “I’ve also just comprehended half-step Sword Intent.”

“Impossible…”

Yun Tianyan’s eyes widened in anger, bloodshot.

Luo Cheng had only comprehended half-step Sword Intent. If so, didn’t it mean he lost to someone inferior in every aspect!

Pu!

Unable to accept this fact, wanting to angrily shout, Yun Tianyan’s palm instantly erupted with blood, drowning all his remaining words in his throat!

“Junior Brother Yun! Stop speaking!”

From several miles away, Xu Daoyan saw all of this, his expression changed drastically, crushing the captured Sword Qi with his Essense Energy Hand, swiftly moving to cover Yun Tianyan’s body!

Bang!

But what the Essence Energy Hand grabbed was only Yun Tianyan’s body separated from his head, eyes hollow, completely devoid of life!

The mountains and plains of people were already stupefied.

All eyes focused on Luo Cheng, the silence was absolute.

After a blink or two, someone shouted:

“Yun Tianyan is dead!”

Immediately, one stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves, a shocking clamour erupted into the sky.

“Killed the Three Sects Inner Sect King Yun Tianyan with just four swords! This…isn’t a dream, right?”

“I wouldn’t dare do this even in my dreams!”

“Too exaggerated! Too unbelievable! If Luo Cheng can so easily slay Yun Tianyan, doesn’t he qualify to ascend the Domain List? He did awaken a Wasted Martial Soul!”

“With Yun Tianyan’s death, Luo Cheng is undoubtedly the rightful Three Sects Inner Sect King!”

When the battle just began, everyone was still anticipating a peak duel.

Who would have expected, in the blink of an eye, Yun Tianyan would be found headless!

All this happened too quickly, so quickly many felt a surreal dreamlike unreality, stunned into silence.

The people of Xuanyuan Sect felt as if they were in a dream.

“Luo Cheng won! Just as he said, Yun Tianyan was slain in a single encounter!” Zhu Lingmei bit her red lips, gazing at Luo Cheng, her beautiful eyes glimmering, unable to hide her excitement.

“Hmm, when this news reaches the Sect, it will surely cause a massive upheaval! Looks like I should consider giving up my position as the Inner Sect senior brother.”

Pang Yueyang’s expression shifted rapidly from shock to relief, then genuine admiration.

He had only met Luo Cheng three times, and each time Luo Cheng shattered his previous impressions, those four swords had completely convinced him!

“Haha! Brother Luo Cheng won!”

“Look at those Fierce Cloud Sect people, they’re all stunned!”

“Let’s see if they dare to look down on our Xuanyuan Sect again after this!”

The disciples of Xuanyuan Sect, as if waking from a dream, excitedly cheered for Luo Cheng.

The previous dominance of the Fierce Cloud Sect disciples had left them with a sense of pent-up frustration, and due to Yun Tianyan’s immense authority, they couldn’t retaliate!

Now Luo Cheng had publicly slain Yun Tianyan, giving them a huge boost of pride, and they felt vindicated and could hold their heads high!

As for the disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect, they were left standing in a dark stupor, as if in a daze.

The defeat and death of Yun Tianyan had shocked them too greatly!

This outcome was something they had never imagined nor considered possible.

Because it was simply impossible.

Yun Tianyan was acknowledged as the king among the Three Sects Inner Sect, a quasi-Domain List powerhouse, so powerful that no one in the entire Great Yue Dynasty’s Awakening Vein Realm could surpass him. Even Yu Lanxin, the chief disciple of the Luoxia Sect, and Pang Yueyang of the Xuanyuan Sect couldn’t compare to him, let alone a mere Luo Cheng!

Yet, the most impossible outcome had now become reality!

“Damn! What on earth is up with this kid!”

Li Shaofeng stared intently at Luo Cheng, his icy gaze as sharp as a sword, causing the air to ripple indistinctly.

He couldn’t fathom how someone who had awakened a Wasted Martial Soul could become so formidable in just a year!

This undoubtedly qualified him for the Domain List!

If things continued this way, wouldn’t this person soon be able to stand on equal footing with him?

Thinking of this, Li Shaofeng’s expression turned completely gloomy, and his gaze grew colder!

“A Wasted Martial Soul without even a One-star, yet possessing the strength to challenge beyond his level, how interesting…”

Princess Yaoguang looked at the undeveloped Martial Soul behind Luo Cheng, her eyes sparkling with interest.

“Tsk tsk, this little guy’s strength is unexpectedly formidable.”

“A Wasted Martial Soul, refined to the Golden Body Realm, and a powerful quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman, a Domain List genius—such qualities all in one person…”

Two disciples from the Jile Sect were also drawn in.

Chi Mengyun, dressed in white with a posture as graceful as jade, said, “Let’s hurry and relay this information back.”

Yu Qingyou eyed Luo Cheng, licking her rosy lips, “I didn’t expect such a fortuitous find while attending this gathering for the Blood Demon. If he can earn the qualification and we take him back, it would be quite an accomplishment. What if he could wield the Holy Artifact… hehe!”

Yu Qingyou couldn’t help but laugh softly, her laughter so sweet it gave people goosebumps.

“Don’t indulge in wishful thinking, you said yourself it’s just a possibility, and even that chance is slim.”

Yunmeng shook her head, interrupting her, and continued, “Moreover, this matter likely won’t end so easily; who knows if he can even survive the day.”

Swipe!

Silently, Xu Daoyan’s figure flickered a couple of times, appearing at the center of the battlefield.

Seeing the corpse of Yun Tianyan, Xu Daoyan’s face turned extremely sullen, his eyes burning with raging flames, and his scorching aura surged, evaporating a vast stretch of clouds in the sky.

This time, he was entrusted by his master to escort Yun Tianyan to Yunquan City for this life-and-death duel, intending for Yun Tianyan not to hold back, to use Luo Cheng’s death to thwart the Supreme Elder of the Ming Sect, who was his master’s old nemesis, and to suppress the spirit of the Xuanyuan Sect as well!

Yet, unexpectedly, the duel spiraled out of control right from the start, and in an instant, Yun Tianyan was killed by Luo Cheng, dying right before his eyes, without even giving him a chance to intervene!

Xu Daoyan couldn’t help but feel some regret for being too complacent at the outset, not taking this duel seriously and reacting a split second too late.

Otherwise, with his abilities, even from ten miles away, Luo Cheng wouldn’t have been able to kill Yun Tianyan!

However, what Xu Daoyan couldn’t tolerate the most was that despite his attempt to intervene, Luo Cheng dared to ignore him!

Turning his gaze to Luo Cheng, Xu Daoyan’s eyes were as blazing as the sun crossing the sky, as meteors falling: “Boy, you dare kill in front of me!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The forest below couldn’t withstand his domineering aura and erupted into flames.

“A top-tier Heavenly-level Great Power!”

Luo Cheng squinted slightly, knowing that for a gaze to wield such power, the other was clearly a Heavenly-level Great Power, and not just any Heavenly-level Great Power, as the terrifying heat wave was apparent, even the Protective Essence Energy couldn’t completely block it.

Without a trace of panic in his eyes, Luo Cheng sheathed his sword, calmly said, “Yun Tianyan and I agreed to a life-and-death duel. Where is the rule that you can’t kill in a life-and-death duel?”

“Heh heh! Rules?”

Xu Daoyan laughed in anger, “What are you? Are you worthy of discoursing on lofty principles in front of me? Today I’ll teach you a truth: rules belong to the strong! Here, my words are the rules!”

“Originally, a small character like you isn’t even worthy of dying by my hands, but today, I’ll make an exception and personally avenge Junior Brother Yun! Prepare to meet your end!”

Xu Daoyan cared nothing for rules, only by killing Luo Cheng could he vent his anger and justify himself when he returned.

Buzz!

As he spoke, Xu Daoyan raised a finger towards Luo Cheng, a blazing sphere of Fire Power spinning rapidly at the fingertip, shining golden and brightly with flaming clouds, the heat of the entire world soared as if a second sun had appeared!
