The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 130: Slaying

The chill in Jing Yan’s heart grew ever chillier.

With it came a burning rage.

Kidnapping Liu Xiaoyue and taking control of my business in Black Wind Town?

Hmph, this Gao Yan, is he seeking death? Jing Yan’s eyes flickered with a light as frosty as ice.

This town mayor of Black Wind Town named Gao Yan surely wouldn’t be unaware of who he, Jing Yan, was. Yet despite knowing Jing Yan’s identity, Gao Yan acted in such a manner, which was nothing short of scorning Jing Yan and also disregarding the Jing Family of Donglin City behind him.

Perhaps, in Gao Yan’s eyes, Jing Yan was already a dead man! Even if he could survive, hiding under the protection of the Jing Family in Donglin City, Jing Yan surely wouldn’t dare return to Black Wind Town.

"Family Head Liu, can you still walk?" Jing Yan put aside the coldness in his heart, gathered a bit of energy, and then turned his gaze to Liu Daquan to ask.

"I can." Liu Daquan looked at Jing Yan in surprise, unsure of what Jing Yan meant by asking. Nevertheless, he swiftly responded.

"Let’s go, we’re going to find Gao Yan! I want to see just how daring he is!" Jing Yan turned and left the room.

Liu Daquan was momentarily stunned and then looked at Jing Yan’s departing figure with gratitude. He knew Young Master Jing Yan was going to help him get his daughter back.

The Mayor Mansion, although located atop the town of Black Wind Town, was a place Jing Yan didn’t know the exact location of.

With Liu Daquan leading the way, much time could be saved.

Jing Yan and Liu Daquan moved toward the Mayor Mansion and naturally, they were noticed by many people.

These Martial Artists were guessing what might happen next.

"Isn’t that Jing Yan from the Jing Family of Donglin City?"

"Indeed it is, how has he shown up again? Doesn’t he know that the Wei Family from Duyang City and our Black Wind Town’s mayor are both looking for him?"

"The guy’s got nerve, daring to come to Black Wind Town at a time like this."

"Hehe, you don’t know the full story. This Jing Yan fell for Liu Daquan’s daughter, Liu Xiaoyue, and word has it that the mayor has taken her. How could Jing Yan not come back to rescue his woman?"

"Is that so? It appears that Jing Yan is quite the devoted lover! For his woman, he dares to take the risk to come back—that makes him a real man!"

"..."

When Jing Yan first arrived in Black Wind Town, Liu Daquan and he went to negotiate with Sky Wolf Village; everyone thought they would never come back unharmed, but in the end, the Sky Wolf Gang was completely eradicated and became history.

However, this time, in the eyes of the Martial Artists, Jing Yan was more likely doomed than fortunate. No matter how strong Jing Yan’s strength was, he certainly couldn’t contend with the Black Wind Town Mayor, let alone having the Wei Family from Duyang City behind him. Even if Jing Yan also had backing, it was all the way back in Donglin City, with no reach to Duyang City.

"Isn’t that Family Head Liu?"

In front of the entrance to the Mayor Mansion stood two black-armored guards, keeping watch.

One of them, upon seeing Liu Daquan and Jing Yan approaching, immediately let out a sneer of disdain. His glance swept over Jing Yan briefly without pausing, clearly not recognizing the young Martial Artist who stood by Liu Daquan’s side--the same young Martial Artist who, just a month ago, had wiped out the Sky Wolf Gang and shook Black Wind Town.

"Is the Town Mayor in?" Liu Daquan asked with a dark expression.

During this time, he, too, had used all kinds of means to inquire about his daughter’s whereabouts but had not been successful. Therefore, Liu Daquan had no idea whether or not his daughter, Liu Xiaoyue, was still inside the Mayor Mansion.

"The Town Mayor? What do you want with the Town Mayor?" the armored guard asked in a sarcastically inquisitive tone.

"Scram, all you riff-raff! No loitering in front of the Mayor Mansion’s gates," another guard gestured dismissively, shooing them away.

"I need to see the Town Mayor," Liu Daquan looked at Jing Yan by his side and frowned as he spoke to the two black-armored guards.

"Ha! You want to see the Town Mayor and think you can? Who the *** do you think you are?" The armored guard didn’t take Liu Daquan seriously at all.

In the past, they might have given Liu Daquan some respect, considering he held some status in Black Wind Town. But now that the Mayor clearly intended to deal with Liu Daquan, why would these guards care about his feelings?

Perhaps the Mayor would even commend them for being sensible and doing a good job if he knew how they treated Liu Daquan.

If that meant becoming the confidants of the Mayor, would they still need to stand guard here?

Thinking so, the guards felt even more eager to show off their diligence.

"Please convey the message that Liu Daquan urgently needs to meet with the Town Mayor," Liu Daquan suppressed his intense anger and continued to bear it.

A man has to bow his head under someone else’s roof.

Liu Daquan understood that he needed to bow down to the Town Mayor, Gao Yan. Swallowing his pride, he hoped to perhaps get his daughter back.

"Liu Daquan, get the hell out of here, or I’ll cripple you, you piece of trash!" The armored guard grew impatient, his aura flaring up as if he were about to strike Liu Daquan.

The other guard didn’t even bother with words anymore and simply lashed out, kicking towards Liu Daquan.

It looked as if they planned to beat up Liu Daquan and Jing Yan first and ask questions later.

"Die!"

Jing Yan, standing beside Liu Daquan, made his move. The Flowing Light Sword flashed faintly, its black Sword Light slashing through the air like the reaper’s scythe from hell.

The sword light cut through the space, emitting a terrifying sonic boom.

The eyes of the two guards widened in shock and fear as they turned to look at Jing Yan. Being high-level martial artists themselves, they could feel the terrifying power contained within the sword light.

How could they ever imagine that this young martial artist, someone they hadn’t even noticed, standing next to Liu Daquan, possessed such formidable strength?

What kind of powerful force was this? An Innate Realm martial artist?

Who was this person? Heavens, could it be Jing Yan? The one who single-handedly destroyed the Sky Wolf Gang?

They seemed to have just realized Jing Yan’s identity, but it was obviously too late.

At that moment, their eyes widened in horror, their mouths opened to perhaps scream or beg Jing Yan for mercy.

But before they could make a sound, the black Sword Light in space split into two, piercing their bodies and passing clean through.

Soon after, both armored guards, along with their black armor, were cleaved in two.

Witnessing this, Liu Daquan himself was shocked; he stared blankly at Jing Yan.

He had not intended to start trouble when coming to seek out the Mayor, Gao Yan. Although he had brought Jing Yan along and was aware of Jing Yan’s capabilities, starting a fight was never his intention.

This was the Mayor Mansion! Who was the Town Mayor? An official appointed by Duyang City Lord Mansion, an official of the government. Offending anyone was better than offending a government official; the consequences were endless. Liu Daquan was well aware of this.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Liu Daquan had no illusions of Jing Yan avenging him; he merely hoped to use Jing Yan’s status to exert some pressure on Mayor Gao Yan, to have his daughter released. As for what to do afterward, he would have to play it by ear.

But now, Jing Yan had acted, killing two of the Mayor Mansion’s armored guards on the spot. These guards were members of the Mayor Mansion’s Guard and could be considered part of the official military, not just any privately hired guards.
