Chapter 674: Sweeping Away the Lawless Today, Exterminating the Traitorous Clans Tomorrow

The roaring inside the school never ceased, but Chen Yan did not look back from start to finish.

As he walked with rapid strides, he looked at the contract in his hand.

The aura of life and death was continuously unleashed.

The next instant.

Whoosh!

The contracts in Chen Yan's hand all began to burn, turning into ashes that filled the sky.

Xia Long and the others watched in shock, and everyone's gaze became even more resolute.

"From this moment on, we are like birds entering the vast blue sky, no longer bound by any shackles."

Xia Long let out a low roar.

The resentment, fury, and stifled frustration of so many days were all reduced to scattered ashes under the single wave of Chen Yan's hand.

Under the suppression of a terrifying Rank 8 Ancient Divine Beast, even the strongest Rank 8 became mere fish on the chopping block.

This was the suppression of the rules.

If one's strength is insufficient, then it is simply insufficient.

In the struggle of the Five Clans, over two hundred people from the Great Xia side entered, and one hundred and fifty from the Five Clans entered.

Now, fewer than one hundred people followed Chen Yan as he left.

And inside the school, there were still sixty or seventy people remaining.

Too many people had died.

Once the Creation Realm becomes a consumable, the strength of the human race will be continuously diminished.

Facing Chen Changyuan and the Shi Meng Mo, many people chose to surrender and kneel.

But there were still more who would rather die than submit, waiting until Chen Yan's arrival.

Lu Jianxia gazed deeply at the rear, exchanged a look with her older brother, and left the school.

Chen Mi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the empty school gate, saying nothing.

His heart was suddenly filled with complex emotions, but he quickly returned to calm.

He was ranked first on the Creation Realm Leaderboard; he needed an opportunity to ascend to Rank 8.

He had accumulated strength for so many years; once he ascended, he would be an incredibly powerful Rank 8, and he would surpass everyone.

As for the others, they also looked at one another with heavy hearts.

Ninety percent of the Great Xia Creation Realm cultivators had followed Chen Yan and left.

Those who chose Chen Changyuan were mostly Creation Realm cultivators from the Five Clans.

"How could he kill the security guards?" someone asked in astonishment.

"He has already reached Rank 8, didn't you see?"

"He clearly unleashed Rank 8 power; how on earth did he cultivate?"

"Some people even said his aptitude was poor, not top-tier—you tell me, is this what you call poor aptitude?"

"His aptitude is indeed not the most top-tier; the Time Domain Phoenix evaluated him back then, and he was only fourth in Qinzhou."

Voices of discussion, confusion, and even disbelief arose one after another.

Chen Yan had unleashed Rank 8 power, and this was what shocked people the most.

But the problem was, how long had Chen Yan been on the path of the Dao?

And how long had they been?

This was something impossible to accept.

But that was the crux of the matter: they had seen with their own eyes Chen Yan kill the security guards and personally burn the contract that made everyone feel humiliated.

This was difficult for those Creation Realm cultivators who had already chosen Chen Changyuan to accept.

They had all already chosen Chen Changyuan, so naturally, they hoped their choice was the right one.

Someone sneered:

"Within three days, he will be dead."

"Three days? Two days!"

"If Lu Xunyang were truly powerful, he would have killed the Shi Meng Mo long ago. If even Lu Xunyang couldn't suppress it, how could he do it?"

"Chen Changyuan's power is constantly recovering and growing stronger, and there are even more powerful existences in this world. I cannot fathom how Chen Yan can continue to hold on."

Voices rose one after another.

They were complex, cold, and even angry.

Why didn't Chen Yan arrive sooner?

Why did he have to wait until they had already signed the Life Seal before arriving?

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

It was a woman still weeping; she crouched down, tears falling continuously, and whispered in a voice of near despair:

"But Chen Changyuan has already become an Ancient Divine Beast. I signed the Life Seal for an Ancient Divine Beast.

I just didn't want to die; what am I supposed to do?"

The woman cried until she was a mess of tears, her voice carrying an irrepressible despair.

Everyone fell silent.

Someone wanted to roar that Chen Changyuan was not an Ancient Divine Beast, but a Five Clans Creation Realm cultivator.

But they could not say it.

Someone looked up at the firmament and smiled:

"At this point, I have truly become a joke."

…………

Boom!!!

A streak of ink-colored light fell from high above the sky, smashing into 'Chen Yan' who was still fleeing.

In an instant, a large hole was torn open in that 'Chen Yan's' chest.

The Principal and a dozen or so teachers kept grinning hideously, roaring in fury, and took out unspeakable objects from their bosoms, throwing them about wildly like children fighting.

But once these things struck 'Chen Yan's' body, they would instantly transform into terrifying attacks containing malice, causing the injuries on that 'Chen Yan' to grow increasingly severe.

In the distance, Chen Changyuan frowned while in pursuit.

His power had not yet fully returned, making it difficult for him to catch up to the few people ahead.

But a strange feeling appeared in Chen Changyuan's heart.

He had been wondering what Chen Yan's purpose was in appearing.

Perhaps it was to catch a turtle in a jar, or perhaps a sudden outburst.

But until now, that 'Chen Yan' had not used a single method.

He had been fleeing the entire time.

If that were the case, why would Chen Yan appear?

"Could it be that he was locked onto by the rules of this world, unable to hide, and had no choice but to appear?" Chen Changyuan whispered in his heart.

He immediately attributed all problems to the strangeness of this world.

After all, this was inside the body of a Shi Meng Mo.

Chen Yan was like a thorn, constantly being targeted by all the rules of this world.

"He has already found some way to regain his power, but the world did not give him time, and now even if he flees, there are not many opportunities left."

Chen Changyuan whispered in his heart.

The next moment, in the distant sky.

The Fatty Principal suddenly plucked a tumor off his face and threw the tumor far away.

The next moment.

This tumor streaked across the horizon, expanding continuously, turning into a huge pitch-black object that suppressed 'Chen Yan'.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

That twisting, eerie pitch-black object looked like an expanding pitch-black worm, and also like a geometric body of all the evil in the world.

It suppressed 'Chen Yan' just like that, and countless pitch-black energies seeped into the other's body, causing the other to feel indescribable fear.

Chen Changyuan's eyes were indifferent.

Is that it?

Suppressed so easily.

This doesn't seem like you, Chen Yan.

He walked through the air, but the smile on his face gradually faded.

In the distant sky, that 'Chen Yan' was still wailing.

"Kill me, kill me, if you have the ability, kill me!!!"

The smile on Chen Changyuan's face completely vanished, and he narrowed his eyes.

Chen Yan is not a person who would say such things.

He might roar, he might struggle.

But he would never beg for death.

The coldness on Chen Changyuan's face grew increasingly intense, and questions surfaced in his heart one after another.

Suddenly, he let out a low roar:

"Return to the school quickly!"

His voice caused the still-grinning Principal to freeze.

"This is not Chen Yan, return to the school quickly!" Chen Changyuan roared out.

"How is that possible?" the Principal said in surprise, but still spoke to a female teacher wearing glasses:

"You go back to the school and take a look."

The female teacher was stunned, hurriedly shook her head, and raised the ruler in her hand high:

"I want to punish him; he is the worst student I have ever seen."

"Go!" the Fatty Principal said in a rage.

"Oh." The female teacher spoke unwillingly, then ran toward the direction of the school.

Chen Changyuan arrived in front of 'Chen Yan'.

Yet he saw that 'Chen Yan' had already been corroded beyond recognition by the pitch-black object on his body.

"Chen Yan?" Chen Changyuan said faintly:

"You are not Chen Yan."

'Chen Yan' raised his head and looked at Chen Changyuan with a pair of eyes that had already been completely corroded:

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"

Chen Changyuan frowned:

"You shouldn't be laughing, you should be silent, you should be thinking, back then on Ten Thousand Appearances Island, why didn't you kill me, why didn't you use everything to kill me."

Chen Changyuan reached out his hand and pressed it against 'Chen Yan's' back.

Click, click, click, click!!!

Each bone joint was crudely snapped by him, and the miserable screams of that "Chen Yan" grew increasingly chaotic.

Chen Changyuan's brow furrowed even deeper:

"I have always been wondering, what kind of expression you would have, and what kind of words you would say, when I killed you with my own hands.

The Cloud Dream Chen Clan has been suppressed by the Luo City Chen Clan for generation after generation; your ancestors, generation after generation, all spent their lives, which were no better than those of pigs and dogs, in endless confusion.

All of this is because of us.

You should hate me, you should sneer, you should remain silent, but you should absolutely not be screaming like this."

Until, in Chen Changyuan's hand, there appeared a heart covered in pitch-black spots.

Chen Changyuan's expression turned blank, and he looked behind him:

"I've been lured away from my base."

His voice was icy; he had not expected that Chen Yan would actually be able to find teammates within this world.

And that in such a short amount of time, he could make his own teammates willingly go to their deaths.

Under his feet.

The facial features of that "Chen Yan" shifted, turning into a woman with black spots growing on her face, just looking coldly at Chen Changyuan like that:

"Kill me, you are also of the human race, right? For the sake of us both being of the human race, kill..."

"Ah ah ah ah!!!"

A sound of violent rage thoroughly resounded.

The Fatty Principal roared, his face completely distorted:

"Yu Laiwei!!!"

He grabbed the woman by the neck and lifted her up by force, even though her body had already been completely corroded by the pitch-black creatures from the waist down.

Blood flowed from the corners of the woman's mouth, and she suddenly smiled:

"So, I was going to die anyway, huh? You don't even have... the chance to torture me..."

She smiled brilliantly, suddenly feeling that she had won big.

Her vision was blurred and unfocused.

In her view, even if she died such a miserable death, that Chen Yan would absolutely not cherish it.

In fact, the other party didn't even know her name.

People are worthless; at least in this world, they are absolutely worthless.

What many people pursue is not immortality, but the hope that their lives might have some meaning.

At the very least, she herself did not have many days left to live.

Therefore, when Wu Song chose her, she agreed without even thinking.

Years of malice weighing upon her made her life worse than death.

So, at that time, she was actually quite grateful to Chen Yan.

She finally had the right to die.

She finally no longer had to suffer through hardships for the sake of pursuing that impossible ideal.

But the most damnable thing happened.

Just when she had prepared everything and was ready to happily go to her death.

That young man merely waved his hand and dispelled a portion of the malice within her body.

The other party was saying that she could actually live on, and not only that, but live even better.

She could enjoy a body not invaded by malice and live a good life.

But at that time, she had already prepared herself to die.

Why did you have to do that at that moment?

Are you showing off?

Are you trying to make me suffer?

At that moment, a desire to live, such as she had never felt in her entire life, was born in her heart.

But she was going to die.

She had never seen someone she loathed so much, yet she still had to die for that person.

The light in the woman's eyes was rapidly fading.

This was her final thought before death.

She suddenly realized that she really wanted to see the world of the future.

The next moment, she died completely.

"Lowly beast!"

Chen Changyuan looked at the woman indifferently; he simply could not understand the other party's train of thought.

Why help Chen Yan, why assist him with one's own death?

Why did so many people in the Military Martial Guard want to die for him?

Why would Lu Jianxia dive into the rules of malice on Ten Thousand Aspects Island to save the other party?

Why did that Xia Qi, before his death, honor Chen Yan as a Heavenly God General?

Why did his own son, Chen Min, whom he had raised, swear to kill him?

Why?

Stupid!

The next moment, he flew directly toward the school.

Chen Changyuan's expression grew colder and more violent.

Waves of fury sprouted from the bottom of his heart.

It was not until he flew above the school and saw the ground covered in minced flesh, and those human Creation Realm experts remaining within the school with complex expressions on their faces.

Until he flew all the way out to the other end of the town.

He stopped.

Only to see.

The female teacher wearing glasses was kneeling on the ground, her eyes wide open, almost bulging out of their sockets.

A ruler had pierced through her mouth and body, pinning her to the ground.

On the ground in front of her, there were several lines of text.

【Today I sweep away the unruly laws, tomorrow I shall exterminate the traitorous minions.】

——Left by the Great Xia Heavenly General
