Chapter 247: Ridiculous Posture
The smell of blood permeated the air.
The swirling foggy primordial energy gradually dissipated until it completely vanished.
Within the grand hall, not a single sound was heard; the surrounding crowd seemed to petrify all at once, forgetting even to breathe.
They had originally thought that Jing Yan would be killed by Chen Bing. After Chen Bing made his move, displaying the strength of the Late Innate Realm, his power seemed terrifyingly formidable. To everyone, Jing Yan was almost certainly doomed.
Yet, the outcome they now witnessed was the complete opposite. The formidable Chen Bing was slain by Jing Yan with a single sword strike!
Why did Jing Yan possess such terrifying strength?
Earlier, when Chen Bing was beating Jing Luoyu, everyone could tell that Jing Luoyu hadn’t broken through to the Innate Realm and was merely a Postnatal Martial Artist. Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu, coming from the same city, presumably came from the same family. Logically speaking, even if there was a gap in strength between Jing Yan and Jing Luoyu, it shouldn’t be too large.
Jing Luoyu addressed Jing Yan as Brother Jing Yan, indicating that Jing Yan’s strength should indeed be somewhat stronger, possibly already possessing the Cultivation of the Innate Realm. However, to everyone, Jing Yan seemed to be at most in the Early Innate Stage. He didn’t even look twenty years old; to have attained Early Innate Cultivation was already quite commendable.
Even in Lanqu County City, a Martial Artist in the Early Innate Stage and under twenty was considered a talented genius.
At this moment, everyone finally realized that Jing Yan’s Cultivation was far beyond their imagination. He had slain a martial artist of the Late Innate Realm with a single sword strike, his power at least comparable to the Peak of Innate, perhaps even stronger than your average Innate Peak Martial Artist. Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly have killed Late Innate Chen Bing with a single strike.
Shocked gazes turned absent-mindedly towards Jing Yan.
And Lady Chen, Chen Yan, her delicate face showing emotional fluctuations for the first time.
