Chapter 2216: Chapter 13: Demon Supervisor, Jin Yan’s Death, Grassman Dao Advancement! (Part 4)

"Hahaha, it’s not a big deal, just a small matter." Although Venerable Bomeng was laughing outwardly, inside he wore a mask of pain.

The cost of capturing Jin Yan ultimately exceeded his expectations significantly.

Because although Jin Yan was weak, he was initially under the protection of three Venerables from the Demon God Hall, and that protection came from signing a Divine Contract!

To capture Jin Yan, the three Venerables must show some face and also break the Divine Contract.

Forcibly taking? That would be a slap in the face, forcing them to break the contract, and the three Venerables would protect Jin Yan to the death.

However, if the contract was lifted, the three Venerables would have no reason not to give some face to Bomeng, the direct disciple of the Demon God.

Then Bomeng asked his teacher to intervene and terminate the Divine Contract. Bomeng then owed the three Venerables a favor, and he also had to account for the treasures given to Venerable Qingyao and others who participated... Summing up the entire operation was equivalent to paying two Divine Objects.

Just having his teacher intervene could be worth one Power Divine Object!

However, since he had already put on this act, he had to grit his teeth and see it through.

Venerable Bomeng now pretended to be carefree, yet his heart ached tremendously.

"Thank you, Brother Bomeng, I’ll remember this favor." Zhao Xing bent over and saluted.

The Cause and Effect Line came into being, and upon sensing it actively, he discovered that what Bomeng paid was indeed very heavy.

If Zhao Xing did it himself, could he settle it with two Divine Objects? Even doubling that could be considered lucky.

After all, this was the territory of the Demon Race, and how could he expect the Venerables of the Demon Race to give him face and release someone?

Then finding a God Realm to resolve this would be even harder, as different Gods and God Realms have different contracts; finding someone from the Human Clan to resolve a contract made by the Demon Race involves issues of jurisdiction, which is incredibly troublesome.

Zhao Xing stayed here, actually trying to find an opportunity, seeing if there was a way to lure Jin Yan into a life-and-death duel.

Unexpectedly, Bomeng directly solved this trouble for him.

"Hahaha, it’s nothing." Bomeng smiled when he saw Zhao Xing acknowledge his gesture.

Zhao Xing could take this cause and effect, which made it worth it in the long run.

"It’s yours now." Bomeng patted the box, and then disappeared.

"Jin Yan."

Zhao Xing couldn’t sense Jin Yan’s presence at all, showing that this box was indeed a treasure.

Whoosh~

He slapped the top of the box, and his entire body drilled into it.

...

Upon entering the black box space, Zhao Xing’s sensations became extremely vivid.

"Boom~~~"

The Taichu Grassman Skill triggered a manifestation of the Dao and automatically guided the direction.

Zhao Xing discovered over ten thousand Jin Yan within the black box space.

"So, it’s you?!"

Upon seeing Zhao Xing enter, Jin Yan immediately understood.

He had faintly guessed, but couldn’t be sure whether it was Zuo Qiyu or Zhao Xing taking action.

"It is I."

"Jin Yan, we’ve finally met."

Murderous intent welled up within Zhao Xing’s heart, a force so strong that, even with his cultivation as a Twelfth Rank Demigod, he couldn’t fully suppress it. As for Jin Yan, he had already charged forward with red eyes.

"Die!"

Countless Split Soul Bodies of Jin Yan lunged at Zhao Xing like locusts, swiftly overwhelming him.

Only moments later, amidst the pile formed by tens of thousands of Jin Yan, a strong black light burst forth.

Spiritual Will Technique, Great Dark Sky!

With just a thought, Zhao Xing seized control over all the Jin Yans.

"Don’t be in a rush to die." Zhao Xing’s eyes were cold. "You still have value."

"Boom boom boom!!"

Jin Yan attempted self-destruction, but quickly lost the capability to do so.

The disparity in power between Zhao Xing and him was enormous. Finally, Jin Yan only managed to destroy three weaker clones before being completely immobilized.

"Why, why could you become a Demigod?" Jin Yan asked unwillingly. Neither he nor Zuo Qiyu had achieved Demigod status, yet Zhao Xing had.

"By logic, having cultivated the Taichu Grassman Skill, this path should have become your entire path, making it impossible for you to become a Demigod by other means."

"That’s because your vision is too narrow, too ignorant," Zhao Xing sneered,

No matter how unique the Taichu Grassman Skill is, can it exceed the barriers set by Divine King Guxiao?

Even the Heavenly Time Dao has ways to work around, so having cultivated the Great Sun Qi Sea, how could the Taichu Grassman Skill not?

Of course, Zhao Xing didn’t find this slim chance himself; he entered that unique secret realm within the Sealing Land.

He surmised that Yuan’s White Bone Path held a priority far beyond the Grassman Dao created by Gu Tiangyang, and in that special place, it could overlook this downside.

"How is this possible, how could it be..." Jin Yan murmured, but soon he drifted into slumber.

The Dream Technique descended unknowingly, and he entered a dream.

...

A year later, Zhao Xing emerged from the black box space, the box now empty, and Jin Yan was no more.

When Zhao Xing stepped out, he immediately sensed something.

An avenue appeared in front of him, the illusionary shadow of Jin Yan that had previously been on his left began to slowly fracture.

"Buzz~"

Jin Yan’s Dao shadow shattered, with fragments flying towards Zhao Xing and Zuo Qiyu.

At this moment, Zuo Qiyu abruptly turned, looking at Zhao Xing and the fracturing Jin Yan with some astonishment.

"Senior Zuo, step aside!"

Zhao Xing roared lowly, suddenly enlarging, stepping forward.

His figure grew larger as he began to absorb the power from Jin Yan’s crumbling remains.

Zhao Xing felt himself surpass Zuo Qiyu by half a step.

Just as he was about to firmly establish the step, he paused.

There was no road ahead, only chaotic darkness.

Zhao Xing realized that the extra half step he took was composed of the fragments of Jin Yan’s shattered Dao shadow.
