Chapter 420: Chapter 236: Pursuit of the Refining God Heavenly Man_2

Even though Dai Yiping was much stronger than that elder, it took just a few swings of Xu Yan’s sword to utterly eradicate him, leaving no trace.

After killing Dai Yiping, he astonishingly encountered an elder of the Jade God Sect and an elder from the Su family hunting him, of course, he killed them all.

The end result was that Dai Sheng, the Dai family’s Refining God Heavenly Man, learned of his son’s killing and lost his mind on the spot. The news of Xu Yan killing Dai Yiping quickly surfaced.

Facing the Refining God Heavenly Man, Xu Yan showed absolutely no fear. He clashed with him a few times and, discovering that he was no match, he immediately escaped.

Dai Sheng pursued him feverishly.

Yu Xiaolong coiled around Xu Yan’s wrist, looking somewhat regretful at that moment, questioning why it had followed Xu Yan in the first place.

In just a short while, he was already being targeted by a Refining God Heavenly Man!

“There’s a city over there. Let’s hide in it.”

Yu Xiaolong hurriedly suggested.

It knew that Xu Yan’s concealment techniques were profound. If he hid in the city, even the Refining God Heavenly Man would have a hard time finding him.

Xu Yan sneered, “Since I stepped into the martial arts world, I, Xu Yan, have never been hunted down. Dai Sheng, mark my words, I’ll kill you sooner or later!”

Glancing back at the rapidly approaching Dai Sheng, Xu Yan completely disregarded the city’s no-fly rule and directly entered the city. His speed was extremely fast, so much so that the City Lord and his guards didn’t have time to react before Xu Yan had disappeared from sight.

Boom!

An overwhelming aura descended!

All the martial artists in the city felt as if they were being crushed by a mountain.

Everyone looked up in shock.

Refining God Heavenly Man!

A Refining God Heavenly Man showed up, everyone’s face tightened, and they held their breath.

The City Lord’s face changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but step forward.

“I’m honored to meet you, senior. Can you enlighten me on the reason for your visit?”

Dai Sheng’s eyes were blood red, filled with killing intent. Despite using his Divine Soul’s power to search over and over, he didn’t find any trace of Xu Yan.

“I am Dai Sheng. I come bearing a kill order!”

The City Lord’s heart shuddered. Dai Sheng, the Refining God Heavenly Man from the Dai family?

Although the Dai family was only a second-rate clan, Dai Sheng was a Refining God Heavenly Man — a being of the highest standing. Even as a City Lord from a first-rate clan, he had to tread carefully around him.

“May I ask who Senior Dai wants to kill?”

The City Lord’s thoughts turned to the figure that had just entered the city.

He was too fast, disappearing among the crowd with a flicker.

The city’s guards who were heavenly martial artists could not react in time.

Dai Sheng circled around the city, using his Divine Soul’s power to carefully search, but he failed to find Xu Yan’s trace. A foreboding chill filled his gaze.

His most cherished granddaughter, Dai Yingying, the one with hopes of leading the Dai family to greater heights, had been killed. His son was dead too. At that moment, Dai Sheng’s heart was filled with killing intent.

“Everyone in the city, one by one, must leave. Empty the city. Those who don’t comply, die!”

Dai Sheng commanded coldly.

His commanding aura overpowered the martial artists in the city, turning all their faces pale.

The City Lord’s face changed multiple times. Realizing that Dai Sheng was on the verge of going mad, he had to obey, afraid that in his fury, Dai Sheng could kill him.

After all, he was not a core member of his clan, and Dai Sheng was a Refining God Heavenly Man. After the matter, some kind of compensation would likely bring the matter to a close.

His backers would not wage a war with a Refining God Heavenly Man over him, a mere City Lord.

“Everyone, leave the city in order!”

The City Lord immediately ordered.

All the martial artists in the city were already eager to escape. The pressure was so terrifying that they were nearly unable to breathe.

Under the maintenance of order by the city guards, one by one, they scattered and fled the city.

Dai Sheng’s Divine Soul power covered the city gate. None of the fleeing martial artists could escape his scrutiny.

Xu Yan had already changed into new clothes and had changed his aura, mimicking the aura of a Ling Domain martial artist. At that moment, he frowned. If he used True Yuan to change his appearance at such a close range, he feared he couldn’t hide from Dai Sheng’s search.

But if he didn’t alter his appearance and just mixed in with the crowd, he was somewhat uncertain if he could deceive Dai Sheng.

If discovered, he would have to rely on his speed to escape again.

“What should we do?”

Yu Xiaolong’s face bore worried look.

“Don’t panic. If it comes to it, I’ll just flee. He can’t catch up to me with my speed!”

Xu Yan appeared calm.

“Step aside! Get out of my sight, don’t block my way!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. A chubby boy, followed by several attendants, arrogantly shoved the other martial artists aside, swaggering towards the city gate.

“Move! Don’t block my path. Can’t you see your place?!”

Shen Haizhou cursed and shoved the martial artists preparing to exit the city, creating chaos.

“What are you looking at you schmuck? Are you looking for a death wish?”

Halfway through, Shen Haizhou turned back and punched and kicked the martial artists behind him.

All at once, the martial artists in the city felt such rage that their faces turned red, but at the sight of the uniforms of those men, they became weak-kneed.

They were people from the Shen family!

Xu Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quietly slipped into the crowd and mixed in with the disordered martial artists surrounding Shen Haizhou.

He didn’t know if it was intentional or not, but the clothes worn by Shen Haizhou’s attendants were the same color as Xu Yan’s clothes. Also, some of them were clearly Loose Cultivators, not really his attendants.

Shen Haizhou arrogantly forced his way through the crowd while his ‘attendants’ also increased in number. Some other martial artists joined the chaos around him, making the whole scene even more chaotic.

“We should be good now, right?”

Shen Haizhou’s eyes rolled around. Then, amidst the throng of martial artists, he swaggered towards the city gate in a sea of commotion. They were cursing, arrogant, and utterly chaotic.
