One Man Kicked Into the Air How could Third Heaven cultivation do something like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi and others stared at Jing Yan in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strikes against the Stone-spotted Tiger King had slowed to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, after Jing Yan’s one fatal strike with his sword hit the tiger’s critical spot, the beast pretty much lost its ability to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even its powerful defenses and life energy weren’t enough to overcome that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stabbing the creature’s throat, Jing Yan only stepped back slightly to dodge the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s not-so-threatening return-strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moonbeam Sword then once again struck as fast as lightning, accurately stabbing through the tiger’s throat again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone-spotted Tiger King thrashed frantically, yet the blazing glow in its red eyes inevitably faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done!” Jing Yan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan turned to Lin Qi and others with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s easier to perform the last hit, of course,” Jing Yan sighed to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the group of five warriors hadn’t first exhausted more than half of the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s energy, it wouldn’t have been that easy for Jing Yan to kill the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was almost as strong as a Fourth-grade Spiritual Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even if the tiger was severely injured, it would still have been difficult for Jing Yan to hit its Death Acupoint twice in a row without the other warriors there to distract the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone-spotted Tiger King, which was almost as strong as a Fourth-grade Spiritual Beast, was no doubt very challenging to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I’m gonna take my share,” Jing Yan said as he stepped forward to remove the semi-transparent Flesh Horn from the tiger’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!” someone shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lin Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was angrily staring at Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan randomly showed up, sent two almost lazy strikes at the Stone-spotted Tiger King, and then wanted to take half the value of the Stone-spotted Tiger King for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they weren’t happy with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, you guys want to go back on your word?” Jing Yan paused and slightly turned his gaze to Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, you are a little too greedy to ask for the Flesh Horn of the Stone-spotted Tiger King,” Lin Qi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to figure out Jing Yan’s real level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five of us have been fighting for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are by yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we go with what you said, then you get half for yourself, but the five of us together have to split the other half amongst ourselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s unfair!” Lin Ruoyu also said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ruoyu was the only female warrior among the five disciples from the Lin Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unfair?” Jing Yan asked with a sneer, raising his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before I helped you guys kill the Stone-spotted Tiger King, why didn’t any of you say anything about it being unfair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the beast is dead, you guys say it’s unfair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know very well that if I didn’t step in, it would have been almost impossible for the four of you to kill the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of you might have died in the fight.” “Lin Qi, are you gonna eat your own words?” Jing Yan asked, turning a hard stare on Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi was, after all, the leader of the five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan, if you hadn’t suddenly shown up and distracted us, Dongyang wouldn’t have gotten hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dongyang hadn’t gotten hurt, it would have been only a matter of time for us to kill that Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I won’t hold you responsible for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here are 10 Spiritual Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just take them and leave.” Lin Qi took out 10 Spiritual Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi really wanted to kill Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had accepted Jing Yan’s offer because he wanted to have Jing Yan killed by the Stone-spotted Tiger King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jing Yan’s attacks had brought the tiger down in moments, it had caught him completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Jing Yan wanted him to honor his words and give up the treasure that was right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value of a Stone-spotted Tiger King was simply too appealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten Spiritual Stones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How generous!” Jing Yan burst out laughing and gave Lin Qi a look of scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m taking the Flesh Horn of the Stone-spotted Tiger King, no matter what.” “If you want the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s Flesh Horn, you need to ask for permission from my knife!” Lin Hu suddenly shouted as his Vital Qi surged inside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his long knife and charged at Jing Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who do you think you are?” Jing Yan curled his lips as he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Hu was at the Fifth Heaven, which was the same rank as Jing Yan, his strength was no match for Jing Yan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan had cultivated the Arch of Heaven, he had an incredible prediction ability, and he had also refined the Stance of Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan wouldn’t have been any less confident if he was facing Lin Qi, let alone Lin Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t been that confident, Jing Yan would never have revealed himself to the other warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they wanted to fight, he would give them a chance to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of my face!” Jing Yan gave a light sweep with his Moonbeam Sword, and a terrifying sword radiance broke Lin Hu’s web of knife attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Hu’s martial arts skill was a kind of Low-grade knife skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Jing Yan’s eyes, it had too many flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a random strike with his sword could hit one of its technical imperfections and break through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!” As the sword radiance glared, Lin Hu’s chunky body was swept more than a dozen meters away like a fallen leaf in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He screamed as he slid back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… Impossible!” Although Lin Hu was struck and knocked back into the air, his life wasn’t put at risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan hadn’t tried to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had, he would no doubt get into a serious fight with the rest of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t worried about the others, but Lin Qi, who was at the Sixth Heaven, would be tough for Jing Yan to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn’t mean to hurt Lin Hu for real with the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lin Hu had been knocked into the air by one strike of Jing Yan’s sword, the rest of the Lin Clan disciples paled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all turned their gazes to Jing Yan with shock and fear in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no way he’s a Third Heaven rank!” “Sh*t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumors aren’t trustworthy, indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which stupid jerk said that Jing Yan’s rank had fallen to the Third Heaven?” “D*mn!” Lin Qi and others were all secretly cursing about the unreliable rumors they had heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jing Yan’s rank might have fallen, it hadn’t gone all the way back to the Third Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kicking a Fifth Heaven warrior into the air with one strike was a feat that even a Sixth Heaven warrior might not be able to pull off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi stood to the side, thinking quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi knew that he wouldn’t have been able to brush off Lin Hu with one sword strike like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That strike was only meant to teach you a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t learn now, then it won’t be so gentle next time.” Jing Yan sneered and glanced at Lin Hu, who was just climbing back to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Yan then bent over slightly and cut the Flesh Horn from the Stone-spotted Tiger King’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See you next time!” Jing Yan put away the Flesh Horn, slightly cupped his hands, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are we just going to let him go like that?” Lin Hu and others all turned to Lin Qi as they saw Jing Yan leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they just let him walk away?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had hunted a Stone-spotted Tiger King, yet they now had only half of its value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Yan is very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is at least at the Sixth Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we fight him, we might not be able to defeat him.” Lin Qi shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn’t want to let the Flesh Horn go either, but he couldn’t do anything about it now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Dongyang was still lying nearby, injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to take him back to the Lin Clan for treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had already used a Healing Potion, if they waited for too long, the injury might hamper Lin Dongyang’s future cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1461,"2026-06-03T10:25:51.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd2dc46ff6155def59c7f89c297188183ddec7f1b052fa87c89e6f4276d1ecd4","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-17","the-sword-god-of-the-universe-chapter-15",2108,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sword-god-of-the-universe-cover.jpg"]
