159: Chapter 159 Holy crap! This guy's got a cheat code!

Chen Yan looked at the System task, his eyes twitching violently.

“Holy crap! System, are you a freaking devil?!”

“My eyebrows are practically on fire right now, and you're still here telling me to clock in for work?”

“Make a name for myself? Make a name for your grandmother's leg!”

Although the task reward was "Revered Master's Favorability +5," which was indeed a huge temptation!

The key was that Revered Master was currently heavily injured and hadn't recovered; he had to rush back to deliver the medicine!

[If the task fails, Revered Master's Favorability -100!]

Chen Yan: “!!!”

System, you bastard!

He had finally managed to raise Revered Master's favorability, and now you want to deduct 100 in one go?

Do you think my Revered Master is Saintess Su Wanrou?

“I'll just ask one thing!”

Chen Yan took a deep breath, eventually compromising.

But before that, he had to confirm one thing: “If I fight my way back according to the task, are you sure nothing will happen to my Revered Master?”

If the task delayed Revered Master's treatment, he would rather give up on it!

[Absolutely not!]

Good!

Chen Yan immediately felt a sense of relief.

Although this piece of junk System liked to stir up trouble, it had never messed up when it came to serious matters!

Since it was certain, it meant everything was within a controllable range!

In that case!

What was he waiting for?

Chen Yan looked up at the people from the Wan Jian Sect, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes!

At this moment, let alone just the Wan Jian Sect blocking the way, even if the King of Heaven himself showed up, they wouldn't be able to stop him from going back to save his Revered Master!

The people from the Wan Jian Sect, hearing Chen Yan's extremely arrogant words, were even more enraged.

“Arrogant brat!”

The Dharma Image Realm Elder roared: “You killed our Sect's Young Lord and still dare to be so insolent!”

“Today, this old man will obliterate your Primordial Spirit and make you be buried with our young sect master!”

He exchanged looks with the other two Dharma Image Realm Elders.

The three of them understood instantly!

“Form the Formation!”

“Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin! Rise!”

With an order, the three Dharma Image Realm Elders, along with the dozens of Soul Transformation Stage Disciples, had their auras instantly link together.

Majestic Sword Qi soared into the sky, weaving and gathering in the air, sealing off this part of the world!

In the blink of an eye, a giant net composed of billions of sharp Sword Qi condensed in the sky.

The sword net blotted out the sun, emitting a terrifying aura that could crush everything as it descended upon Chen Yan!

The Cultivators watching from a distance were all pale with shock, breaking into an uproar!

“The Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin Formation! One of the Wan Jian Sect's core killing Formations!”

“With three Dharma Image Realm Elders presiding and dozens of Soul Transformation Stage Disciples assisting, with such a scale, even a Dharma Image Realm expert of the same level would die with regret if they were caught in it!”

“That kid is finished! No matter how much of a Prodigy he is, it's absolutely impossible for him to survive such a killing Formation!”

“Is the Wan Jian Sect being too cautious with such a grand display?”

Everyone believed Chen Yan was doomed.

No one thought he could turn the tables in such a desperate situation!

After all...

No matter how strong Chen Yan was, he had only luckily climbed to eighth on the hidden dragon ranking, not one of those top five peerless Prodigies!

Xiao Shiyu's heart also leaped into her throat, her fists clenched nervously.

It wasn't that she wouldn't help.

It was just that besides being Xiao Shiyu, she was also the Vice Pavilion Revered Master of the Duobao Pavilion.

Many times, she couldn't just act on her own whims!

But in this scene where everyone looked down on him.

Standing at the center of the killing Formation, Chen Yan didn't have a trace of fear on his face.

In his eyes, there was only endless, icy killing intent.

“Refusing to take the easy way!”

He chuckled softly, watching the sword Formation that covered the sky and earth, a faint light flickering in his eyes.

“Xuantian Appraisal Technique!”

Swish!

In an instant!

This seemingly flawless Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin Formation revealed several weaknesses in his eyes!

“If there were twice as many people in the Formation, I might actually have to surrender!”

Above Chen Yan's head, that brilliant, glazed Flawless Holy Fetus suddenly appeared: “Unfortunately, you overestimated this sword Formation, and you underestimated me!”

The leading Dharma Image Realm expert snorted, his face full of disdain: “Even at death's door, all you have left is your stubborn mouth!”

Chen Yan sneered and said no more!

Boom!

He no longer held anything back!

The majestic spiritual energy in his body, like a surging torrent, flowed wildly through his entire body!

“Five Elements Sword Domain! Open!”

The sword domain, fused with the aura of the Lightning Tribulation, expanded from his body!

It collided violently with the sword net descending from the sky!

Clang, clang, clang!

Within the sword domain, the Five Elements Sword Qi, like a torrential storm, struck the sword net!

The sounds of countless metal clashing rang out densely, sparks flying in all directions!

The downward momentum of the sword Formation was actually forcibly stopped!

“How is this possible!”

The faces of the three Elders presiding over the Formation changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief!

This was the Wan Jian Sect's core Formation, the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin Formation!

It was actually blocked by a kid who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear!

Blocking the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin at the Nascent Soul stage?

That was something only those five peerless Prodigies could do!

This child must not be allowed to live!

“Heh!”

While they were in shock, Chen Yan had already quietly summoned his Magic Treasure!

“wait a moment!”

“Watch your back!”

The brick combined with the immortal slaying gourd produced an even better effect!

Everyone felt their vision blur.

A flash of red light passed, and the surrounding space instantly froze!

Then a brilliant golden light followed closely behind!

It flew out through the weakness in the sword Formation!

Carrying a tenfold increase of Chen Yan's full power, it instantly locked onto the leading Dharma Image Realm expert!

“Hum!”

The sword light flashed, and only then did the sound of the sword's hum drift out!

Fast!

It was simply too fast!

So fast that before the Dharma Image Realm Elder's thoughts could even turn, the golden light was already above his head!

“No...”

In that instant, his pupils constricted, and a look of utter horror just began to appear on his face.

“Puchi!”

The golden light flashed, piercing through the center of his brows!

A bloody hole appeared in the middle of his forehead.

A look of shock and anger had just arisen in his eyes, and he was about to take out a Medicinal Pill to heal himself.

“Swish!”

Inside that bloody hole, a spark of fire suddenly flared up!

Before his Primordial Spirit could even begin to resist, it was burned and consumed entirely by the flames!

His entire body's majestic vitality came to an abrupt halt at this moment.

His Physical Body withered, and his Primordial Spirit was completely obliterated!

“Crack! Boom!”

As the core of the Formation, the Dharma Image Realm Elder's death caused the core to break, and the sun-blotting sword net instantly collapsed!

Countless violent Sword Qi swept back!

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

All the Wan Jian Sect Disciples who had formed the Formation were hit hard, simultaneously spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot!

One strike!

Just one strike!

Against the joint Formation of three Dharma Image Realm experts and dozens of Soul Transformation Stage Disciples!

Chen Yan had actually just swung one sword!

And he killed the enemies and broke the Formation!

He even killed a Dharma Image Realm expert!

But Chen Yan didn't even spare a glance at those defeated remnants.

He directly stepped onto the Somersault Cloud beside him, and his entire being turned into a golden stream of light, instantly tearing through the sky.

In the air, only a cold sentence filled with killing intent remained:

“Wan Jian Sect, I've remembered you!”

“Go back and wash your necks and wait; when I have finished my business and return, it will be the day the Wan Jian Sect is exterminated!”

The entire field was dead silent.

All the watching Cultivators were like they had been hit by a freezing spell, staring blankly in the direction where Chen Yan had disappeared, their minds completely blank.

In their minds, they were still constantly replaying the scene of Chen Yan slaying a Dharma Image Realm expert with one sword!

Their hearts couldn't calm down for a long time!

This... is this really something a Cultivator who just formed their Nascent Soul can do?

Holy crap! This guy must be using a cheat!

Xiao Shiyu also had her small mouth open, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

Almost at the same time Chen Yan left.

A golden light suddenly appeared in the sky!

Everyone's hearts shook, and they all looked towards the slowly opening ranking list!

As the golden light flowed, the ranking on the hidden dragon ranking changed once again!

The name originally ranked eighth, with the flow of the golden light, actually leaped directly to the sixth position!

No, that's not right!

Everyone stared blankly as Chen Yan's name on the hidden dragon ranking flickered between fifth and sixth.

It was as if even the hidden dragon ranking couldn't determine where this kid should be placed!

After hesitating for a long time, it finally stopped at the sixth position!

“Hiss~”

The sound of people drawing in their breath rose and fell!

At the same time.

Thousands of miles away, inside the main peak hall of the Wan Jian Sect, which was surrounded by clouds and mist.

A majestic middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon-patterned sword robe was quietly sipping tea.

Suddenly, a Jade Slip in front of him, representing a Sect Elder's life plaque, shattered with a "crack"!

Bang!

The teacup in the middle-aged man's hand was instantly crushed into powder!

He slowly stood up, his overwhelming rage and killing intent making the entire hall tremble violently!

An enraged roar echoed throughout the entire Wan Jian Sect!

“Hear my command!”

“Issue the Ten Thousand Swords Pursuit Order!”

“Any Cultivator in my Heavenly Profound Realm who can kill Chen Yan...”
