Chapter 426: The Future God of Slaughter, Ice Intent!

A massive head fell from high above in the sky.

An Eighth-Rank has fallen, and heaven and earth weep blood!

Countless people were shocked, terrified.

An Eighth-Rank.

The highest point of the world, just like that, was killed!

Outside the Great Xia.

Lu Jianxia's expression was ugly to the extreme; King Xiachen died, and the ones feeling the most pain were not the Xia Clan.

It was the Five Clans.

How many benefits this person had taken from the Five Clans to help the Aristocratic Alliance rise—this King Xiachen had made an indelible contribution.

But this was an Eighth-Rank, a top-tier combat force, killed because of Chen Yan, a First-Rank General Star.

A First-Rank General Star, not a Divine General.

Where did a First-Rank General Star get the right to kill a King?

Yet, he was killed just like that.

If you said a Divine General killed a King, that would be understandable; the Xunyang Divine General had truly harbored killing intent toward King Xiachen back then, and no one dared to say anything.

At this moment, who knows how many powerhouses were watching in silence.

Because, just a moment ago, there were still powerhouses speculating that this Chen Yan was being built up only to be destroyed.

The purpose was to provide cover for that never-before-seen head of the Second-Rank General Stars.

He was a member of the Chen Clan; he carried the surname Chen, a collateral branch of the Five Clans' Chen Clan.

No matter how bold the Xia Clan is, could they let him be a First-Rank General Star?

But now, no one says that anymore.

They were thoroughly shocked.

Everyone's heart trembled; that young sovereign actually possessed the same courage as his father.

Do not suspect those you employ, and do not employ those you suspect.

The formation given to Chen Yan was even greater than what was given to Lu Xunyang back then!

Much greater.

Lu Xunyang's aptitude back then was too poor, not even one-tenth of Chen Yan's current level, and he was merely a collateral branch of the Lu Clan.

When Lu Xunyang was appointed as a First-Rank General Star back then, the Xia Imperial Clan specifically had people rush over to oppose it and cause trouble.

But for Chen Yan, there was none of that at all.

The Thunder-Strike Treasure Land was prepared specifically for him, and the Blood Sword Saint slew King Xiachen for him.

Those thousands of General Stars, just by seeing his gaze, instantly annihilated Luo Feng and the other high-level members of the Aristocratic Alliance.

The military guards of the Xunyang faction had never given up on the other party.

This...

A member of the Five Clans gritted their teeth:

"He must not be allowed to live!!!"

The one speaking was a powerhouse of the Ji Clan, filled with violence:

"Even if three Eighth-Ranks die, he must be executed!"

They were roaring, bellowing, in a rage, their voice shaking across the overseas.

No one refuted; Chen Yan's killing intent was too great, his aptitude too strong, his will too strong.

Lu Fuxang, a top-tier Fifth-Rank, was annihilated by him in an instant while he was at the Fourth-Rank.

Then what to do when he grows to the Fifth-Rank, or the Sixth-Rank?

What if he reaches the Creation Realm?

More importantly, after this person is appointed as a General, who can stop him?

The Great Xia will surely exhaust everything to cultivate the other party!

Appointing him as a General is not something that young sovereign can decide alone.

There must be Xia Hanzhou, and perhaps even the Director of the Astronomical Bureau.

The Zhen Yue Divine General will certainly support the other party.

The Zhen Yue Divine General is a comrade-in-arms of Lu Xunyang; how could they not support Chen Yan?

Some were afraid, wary to the extreme!

Feeling that another Lu Xunyang—no, an existence even more terrifying than Lu Xunyang—had appeared!

"Ji Clan, you must take action; otherwise, if he rises, the Ji Clan will be in danger!"

On the azure sea, Lu Jianxia, in a green dress, looked into the distance, her red lips parting slightly.

Within that side of heaven and earth, there was an Eighth-Rank of the Ji Clan.

Just now, it was that person who said Chen Yan must be killed.

"Your Lu Clan must also send people!"

That Ji Clan Eighth-Rank spoke.

Lu Jianxia bit her silver teeth; the other party was doing it on purpose. Now, who doesn't know that the four elders of the Lu Clan might have already been suppressed by the Xia Clan?

Once the Lu Clan takes action, the heads of those four elders might be sent to the Lu Clan.

"It's all the Chen Clan's fault!"

The Ji Clan Eighth-Rank roared:

"A perfectly good invincible prodigy, and they just had to gift him to the Great Xia!"

Boom!

A beam of white light erupted from within Iron Province, instantly blasting toward the direction of the Ji Clan's Eighth Rank.

Boom!

The sky was shattered, revealing a void rift a thousand miles in circumference.

"Shut up!"

Chen Qi appeared with a murderous look, white light surging all over his body, killing intent erupting from his eyes.

"Chen Qi, you exploded your Dharma Image back then, appeared from Cloud Dream City, and went to Xiaoyang to pick someone up. Did you pick them up?"

The Ji Clan's Eighth Rank walked out from the shattered space rift, wearing pitch-black battle armor, glaring at Chen Qi, and roared:

"Did you pick them up?

If you had brought Chen Yan back to the Chen Clan, would things be like this now?!"

Chen Qi's expression turned ugly to the extreme; are you fucking rubbing salt in someone's wounds?

He wanted to bring Chen Yan back.

He wanted to more than anyone!

But he had seen that God of Slaughter, who was overflowing with pitch-black thunder and holding a long spear.

That person made him tremble with fear!

He left, and as a result, that idiot Deacon Hu concluded that Chen Yan had been bewitched by Chen Xiyuan!

Killing intent surged in Chen Qi's heart.

It was all Deacon Hu's fault, all that God of Slaughter's fault!

If not for them, how could he have missed out on his own Chen Clan's invincible prodigy?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

He waved one hand, and a massive palm print slapped out, sending the Ji Clan's Eighth Rank flying a thousand miles away.

"Get lost!!!"

Chen Qi roared:

"Say one more word, and I'll behead you!"

Lu Jianxia watched in silence, a hint of resentment hidden in her silver-white eyes.

She also wanted to blame Chen Qi, but she held back.

Her Lu family had been played by Chen Yan, and the Chen Clan was likely the same.

Her heart felt heavy.

Chen Yan, there was one more thing, and that was his craftiness.

The other party was not at all the straightforward type like Lu Xunyang; the other party appeared fierce, but there were even more schemes in his heart!

Trouble!

If Chen Yan were truly allowed to grow up, what should be done?

"Elder Chen, why didn't you stay in Xiaoyang and wait a little longer that day?" Lu Jianxia asked in a low voice.

It was clear that Chen Yan had walked out of the college entrance examination secret realm the next day, but Chen Qi had returned to the Chen Clan the day before.

If Chen Qi had waited even one more day and discussed it with Chen Yan, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

"You!" Chen Qi glared at Lu Jianxia.

Don't think that just because you are the daughter of the Lu Clan Master, I wouldn't dare to hit you!

Chen Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

That's right.

Even if he had just waited one more day, it would have been fine.

If he had waited one more day, he could have had a heart-to-heart talk with Chen Yan, or taken Chen Yan as his disciple.

How could it have turned out like this?

He was old, had lived too long, and valued his own life too much.

Therefore, he lost Chen Yan, and the Chen Clan lost an invincible prodigy.

He deserved it.

Perhaps the scene of the future he had seen back then was fake to begin with.

It was likely the Xia Clan that had tampered with it.

Chen Qi's expression was desolate as he looked around:

"Do any of you know of a powerhouse who uses a long spear and possesses pitch-black thunder within their body?"

Chen Qi asked, for he now only blamed that person.

Perhaps such a person didn't exist at all.

Sure enough, after his voice fell, no one spoke.

However, Lu Jianxia's body stiffened, and her silver-white eyes suddenly shrank.

"Elder Chen, why are you asking about him?" Lu Jianxia asked.

"Hmm?"

Chen Qi's body trembled, and the next moment he turned his head abruptly, his voice hoarse as he spoke:

"You've seen him?!"

His aura was fluctuating, and he could hardly control himself.

He had thought this person didn't exist at all and that he had been deceived by the Xia Clan.

But, it seemed not!

Seeing Lu Jianxia's reaction, there really is such a person!

Chen Qi's reaction was too intense; at this moment, all the experts of the Five Clans overseas trembled, staring fixedly at Chen Qi and Lu Jianxia.

Lu Jianxia was also shocked; why did Chen Qi have such a huge reaction?

"Speak quickly!" Chen Qi growled.

Lu Jianxia narrowed her eyes; why should she reveal information to Chen Qi for nothing?

She was also curious; the person she knew of should be Bing Yi.

Possessing pitch-black thunder and wielding a long spear.

Isn't this just Bing Yi?

There are many martial artists who possess both of these traits, but only Bing Yi is truly memorable.

It's just that Bing Yi is not a powerhouse, but a Heaven-Defying Prodigy.

"Elder Chen, you speak first—what exactly do you know about that person?"

Chen Qi's eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at Lu Jianxia.

At this moment, who knows how many people were watching him.

Should he open-source the information?

But this woman from the Lu Clan would rather open-source it than let him have the advantage all to himself.

"Chen Qi, just say it; don't be so stingy. In the future, we might all be comrades-in-arms!"

Someone spoke up; it was an Eighth-Order expert from Chi Prefecture.

"That's right, just say it. Don't hide it; don't let information asymmetry cause conflict between us," others echoed.

Chen Qi took a deep breath:

"I saw a glimpse of the future. This person slaughtered hundreds of thousands with their own hands; their aura is powerful—they are a God of Slaughter!"

His voice fell.

The surroundings were terrified!

Slaughtered hundreds of thousands with their own hands!

A God of Slaughter?

Could it be that Chen Qi left Xiaoyang and gave up on meeting Chen Yan back then because he saw this existence?

In an instant, the hearts of the Five Clans' experts were shaken.

Boom!

A terrifying aura erupted; it was Lu Jianxia trembling uncontrollably.

The next moment.

Boom!

Lu Jianxia's figure turned into a streak of light, wanting to leave.

She now knew that the person was Bing Yi, and she also knew a sliver of Bing Yi's future.

It couldn't be wrong!

A Heaven-Defying Prodigy can reach that step!

She now held the advantage of information!

She had to leave, meet Bing Yi in private, and recruit them!

She had given Bing Yi a communication array disk.

Lu Prefecture could not afford to lose; Lu Prefecture had lost Lu Xunyang, lost Lu Fusang, and lost the Four Elders—they needed a prodigy!

A prodigy who could change the future!

But at the next moment.

A figure in red blocked the path; it was a woman in a red dress.

"Ji Yanqing!" Lu Jianxia's expression sank.

Ji Yanqing, an Eighth-Order peak expert of the Ji Clan!

The wife of Zong Huang, the former lieutenant of Lu Xunyang.

By betraying Zong Huang, she helped the Ji Clan defeat the Xia Clan's legion in the early stages and gained a massive influx of resources within the Ji Clan.

"Lu Jianxia, speak—who is he!" Ji Yanqing's eyes were cold:

"Don't hide it; you aren't leaving today."

Lu Jianxia clearly knew who that future God of Slaughter was; no one was willing to let her leave.

Lu Jianxia gritted her teeth, and the next moment, she saw Chen Qi also looking at her with a gloomy expression.

But at this time.

Hum!

A brilliant sword light, like an overturned vast ocean, spread from within Great Xia.

Wisps of murderous aura brushed past everyone.

Chen Qi, Lu Jianxia, and the others all had ugly expressions; they looked in unison toward the direction of Tie Prefecture, at the city closest to them.

Within the silver screen of clouds and mist, the Xia Lord Sword was radiating a sword pressure that was terrifying to the extreme, enveloping Chen Yan in a vast, surging, and sweeping manner!

A halo lingering between heaven and earth slowly emerged.

Chen Qi's expression was ugly to the extreme.

The Xia Lord Sword's three questions, Chen Yan's three answers.

Now, it was time for the General Conferment!

The invincible prodigy belonging to his Chen Clan was about to become an enemy of the Chen Clan.

He felt regret, felt miserable.

The people of the world watched it together, marveling, sighing with emotion, excited!

"Chen Yan, there is one final question!"
