Chapter 636: Chapter 339: Xu Yan, the Man Who Never Follows Rules (Part 2)

“You—you are out of line!”

The heavenly prodigy covered his face with both hands, feeling as if his head had swollen.

“Is there anyone else who objects? Step forward!”

Xu Yan coldly gazed at the shouting crowd.

Silence fell outside the City Lord’s mansion!

Such arrogance!

When had Yuntian Azure Sea City ever witnessed such an arrogant person, who dared to speak wildly right in front of the City Lord’s Mansion?

“Great Commander, as the City Lord’s mansion is responsible for maintaining order, this arrogant youth must be captured. Where is the dignity of our Yuntian Azure Sea City?”

The battered prodigy’s elder, now furious, spoke up.

The Great Commander of the City Lord’s mansion also looked helpless. Why was this young man so arrogant? To blatantly hit someone was already too much, let alone his outrageous declarations.

If it weren’t for seeing him with Xie Lingfeng, he would have struck him down on the spot.

But now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to step forward, and as for how to punish him, that would be up to the City Lord to decide.

After all, this related somewhat to his grandson.

“Rules of Yuntian Azure Sea City: in front of the City Lord’s mansion, no one may fight, use martial arts, or injure others. You’ve violated the Yuntian Azure Sea City’s rules, come with me.”

The Great Commander stepped forward and spoke righteously.

Xu Yan glanced at him disdainfully, “Rules are for restraining the weak, powerless against the strong. What kind of rule is this, that it doesn’t apply to me!”

The scene fell silent again.

The onlookers were dumbfounded. The Great Commander had stepped in, yet the man remained so defiant?

Was he relying on his relationship with Xie Lingfeng?

This was the Great Commander of the City Lord’s mansion, openly responsible for maintaining the order of Yuntian Azure Sea City, and yet he dared to challenge him?

Xie Lingfeng also felt a sense of tingling on his scalp, and couldn’t help but telepathically ask, “Brother Xu, give me a heads up, how strong are you, can you handle this?”

Although he knew Xu Yan was confident for a reason, he still felt somewhat nervous.

“No big deal. My strength is quite good, pinning down your grandfather and beating him up on the ground is no problem.”

Xu Yan telepathically replied.

“That’s good, that’s good!”

Xie Lingfeng let out a sigh of relief.

The Great Commander almost laughed in anger, “Young man, rules are rules, does having great strength mean you can refuse to follow them?”

“Rules are made by the strong to maintain order. Whether to follow them depends on the mood of the strong. Tell me, does your City Lord always follow these rules?”

Xu Yan calmly said.

“Of course! Our City Lord has always been foremost in obeying the rules!”

The Great Commander solemnly declared.

Even if the City Lord could disregard the rules, it could not be stated openly.

Xu Yan disdainfully said, “That’s your City Lord, unchallenged. If faced with a challenge, if he still abides by these rules, there’s only one reason.”

“Oh, what reason?”

The Great Commander raised his eyebrow, curiously asking.

“The reason is simple, your City Lord is too weak, only capable of timidly adhering to rules!”

Xu Yan said indifferently.

The Great Commander felt his scalp tingling; this young man’s arrogance knew no bounds, not even the City Lord was spared. Did he not know that this generation’s City Lord was the strongest among recent generations?

The onlookers were stunned. Where did this young man come from?

Being so arrogant in front of the City Lord’s mansion, not even considering the City Lord?

“You are insolent! The majesty of the City Lord is not something you can offend!”

The Great Commander roared, his aura exploding, the power of Domain Laws manifested unmistakably.

He had intended to drag things out, waiting for Fu Yun, Xie Lingfeng’s mother and the darling of the City Lord, to intervene, but not even her shadow had appeared. Instead, this young man went on to offend even the City Lord.

He had no choice but to make a move.

“You’re too weak, I advise you not to act.”

Xu Yan shook his head.

“Weak, this commander?”

Fuming, the Great Commander raised his hand, a strand of the Power of Domain Laws being condensed into a giant hand, reaching towards Xu Yan.

“Young man, state your name, let’s see you…”

Before the Great Commander could finish, Xu Yan raised his hand, and a sword light suddenly appeared, instantly obliterating his giant hand.

Following that, Xu Yan stepped forward, instantly appearing before the Great Commander.

Bad news!

The Great Commander’s expression drastically changed, how could this young man be so strong?

Considering his age, he was only in his twenties!

With a roar, he launched his fists, and his aura swirled around him, enveloped by three mysterious airs. The Power of Domain Laws converged, forming a powerful attack.

However, Xu Yan remained calm, reaching out with his palm. This palm, like mountains and rivers enveloping the landscape, instantly a surge of mountains and rivers emerged, completely covering the Great Commander’s attack, and immediately, the mountains and rivers enveloped the Great Commander itself.

Boom!

At that moment, the Great Commander shockingly discovered that he could no longer gather the Power of Domain Laws.

It was as if there was a barrier!

Unless he could break this barrier, he could not gather the Power of Domain Laws!

What Cultivation Technique was this?

Before he could even devise a counterstrategy, a hand had already reached out, grasping his collar, and lifted him up.

“I told you, you are too weak.”

The Great Commander’s face turned red, his entire strength completely restrained, unable to resist at all.

Xu Yan nodded in satisfaction, his own strategy was indeed correct. By directly using the Mountain and River Sword Intent to form a barrier, he blocked the Martial Artists of the Spiritual Realm from gathering the Power of Domain Laws, greatly weakening their strength.

Even if it only blocked them for an instant, that instant was enough to determine victory or defeat, life or death.

Of course, this was also because Xu Yan’s Mountain and River Swordsmanship had become incredibly potent and refined, and because the Great Commander had underestimated his opponent and did not anticipate that the Power of Domain Laws would be blocked.

From the Great Commander’s attack to his capture by Xu Yan, it all happened in an instant.

By the time the onlookers came to their senses, they were utterly shocked.

The Great Commander had been captured?

And it seemed he had no power to fight back!

Who was this young man, to possess such formidable strength?

Even the geniuses covering their swollen cheeks were stunned, their faces no longer felt pain since the Great Commander himself couldn’t resist. What were they compared to him?

Being able to keep his life was only due to the opponent’s mercy.

“Who are you?”

The Great Commander’s face was grim.

“Sword God Xu Yan!”

Xu Yan smiled indifferently.

Holding the Great Commander and Xie Lingfeng, he entered the City Lord’s mansion and casually let them go.

“Brother Xie, let’s go,”

Xu Yan said with a smile.

“Alright,”

Xie Lingfeng nodded.

He marveled inwardly, truly worthy of Xu Yan. Whether in the Inner Domain or now in the Spiritual Realm, he was as overwhelmingly powerful as ever.

“Sword God Xu Yan?”

The Great Commander was taken aback, then his scalp tingled. He thought of someone.

The one who had challenged the Thousand Martial Hall at their doorstep and even brazenly taken the Divine Artifact Cold Extinguishing Saber.

He had come to Yuntian City?

And he was fighting in the City Lord’s mansion!

This was very much in line with his past behavior – years ago, he dared to challenge the Thousand Martial Hall right at their doorstep. Several years had passed, and his strength had become even more terrifying. What’s assaulting someone in the City Lord’s mansion?

Killing was just a trivial matter!

Outside the City Lord’s mansion, the onlookers were taken aback.

“Sword God Xu Yan? Won’t the Sword King explode in rage upon hearing his title?”

Someone muttered.

“What do you know? Sword God Xu Yan is a peerless genius of the Eighteen States. He challenged the Thousand Martial Hall at their doorstep back then and snatched the Divine Artifact in front of all the powerful members of the Hall!”

“I was wondering, how could someone be so arrogant? Turns out it’s Xu Yan, that makes sense.”

“Actually, I guessed it earlier. In the whole Spiritual Realm, who else could be so audacious but Xu Yan?”

“Xu Yan has come to Yuntian Azure Sea City and seems to have deep ties with the reclusive genius Xie Lingfeng. Things are going to heat up.”

“Do you think, with Xu Yan provoking like this, the City Lord will make a move to suppress him?”

“No way, if the City Lord tries to suppress Xu Yan and succeeds, he’d be criticized for bullying the weak. If he fails, then he would lose face entirely. Why take the risk?”

“You’re bold! How dare you question the City Lord’s strength!”

…

Proclaimed as the supreme master of swordsmanship, challenging the Thousand Martial Hall at their doorstep, taking Divine Artifacts in front of their elites, Xu Yan, who never abides by rules, came to Yuntian Azure Sea City!

The news quickly spread everywhere across Yuntian Azure Sea City.

Gradually, rumors circulated that Xu Yan had come to suppress the Azure Sea talents, declaring to the entire Spiritual Realm that he was the supreme genius!

As the news spread, the Azure Sea talents boiled over.

However, the strength Xu Yan displayed in capturing the Great Commander deflated many of them. They truly couldn’t beat him!

Nonetheless, there were some dissatisfied talents who wished to battle Xu Yan.
