JSCMU-Chapter 196: Annihilation!

Yun Jin looked at Ruan Jun, who had suddenly calmed down, and recalled what Third Senior Brother had told her.

Ruan Jun still had one trump card he hadn’t used.

Right now, he was searching for the right moment to use that final trump card.

Unfortunately for him, that opportunity was destined to never come.

Yun Jin sneered coldly. Just in time, she was done playing too.

In the next instant.

Yun Jin’s aura suddenly surged to the extreme.

“Azure Lotus! Sword Technique!”

At the same time, she imbued the Tai’a Sword with a metal-attribute divine ability: Sharpness!

The Tai’a Sword, already gleaming with cold light, now shone even more brilliantly.

With full force, Yun Jin slashed down in a flash like thunder!

“Wait!” Ruan Jun’s pupils contracted sharply, he was about to go mad!

Where was the opening?

Where was the chance?

He hadn’t even used his trump card yet!

He barely dodged, but that one sword strike sliced off his entire arm.

Agonizing pain surged in, and Ruan Jun completely lost his composure. He could no longer care about any opportunity, he directly used the needle-shaped magical weapon.

Unfortunately.

Yun Jin’s mental power was surrounding her entire body. Although the weapon was well-concealed, it could not escape the perception of her Soul Transformation Stage spiritual sense!

Yun Jin lightly swung her sword, and the needle-like weapons all fell down.

Under the Sharpness attribute, each of those fine needles was actually sliced cleanly in half by her sword.

That magical weapon… was just destroyed like that?

Ruan Jun was completely stupefied. His face drained of all color, and his eyes were filled with terror.

On the high platform.

Zhao Wuji could no longer sit still!

He abruptly stood up.

Unlike Gu Jinghong and the Zhou brothers, Ruan Jun was the disciple he had pinned all his hopes on. In the future, when he left for Qingxiao Pavilion, Ruan Jun was supposed to inherit his legacy and continue managing Tianxing Sect on his behalf!

If Ruan Jun were to die here, Zhao Wuji would go mad with grief!

“Uncle Li!” Zhao Wuji instinctively looked at Li Heng.

Due to the contract, he couldn’t intervene.

He could only place his hopes on Li Heng.

Li Heng hesitated briefly, then softly said, “Junior Nephew, this contract is a Heavenly Dao Contract. If I forcibly interfere, I will not only suffer backlash, but also bear karmic consequences.”

This was a tactful refusal.

Zhao Wuji clenched his teeth, his expression full of despair. Was there truly no way left?

On the arena.

Tai’a dripped with blood. Yun Jin, sword in hand, stepped closer and closer to Ruan Jun.

Gone was any trace of composure in Ruan Jun. In its place was boundless terror.

He collapsed to the ground and said despairingly, “Junior Sister Yun, if you think about it carefully, we don’t have any deep grudges! Wasn’t all this because of Ye Danxia? Now she’s already been imprisoned, there’s no enmity between us!”

“Junior Sister Yun, spare me this once, just this once…”

Ruan Jun begged bitterly.

Yun Jin had already approached and now stood in front of him. She said calmly, “Contract battle, fight to the death. Senior Brother Ruan, it’s already too late to regret.”

She raised her sword.

Her qi locked entirely onto Ruan Jun, he couldn’t move at all.

Despair flashed through Ruan Jun’s eyes.

Is he going to die?

He’s the chief disciple of the Sect Leader, he still had such a bright future ahead!

And now he’s going to die!

All of this, at its root, was just because of a single coquettish act from Ye Danxia!

“Wait!” Zhao Wuji couldn’t take it anymore and shouted in a harsh voice.

Yun Jin glanced at him.

Zhao Wuji clenched his teeth and said slowly, “Spare Ruan Jun. I can promise to let the other people of Heavenly Sword Peak live.”

In other words.

If she didn’t spare Ruan Jun, he would bury all of Heavenly Sword Peak with him!

It was a naked threat, and everyone present could hear it clearly.

But Zhao Wuji no longer cared. To save Ruan Jun’s life, so what if he had to threaten?

A life-or-death contract battle, fight to the death.

Asking Yun Jin to spare Ruan Jun was the same as asking her to kill herself.

If Yun Jin died, the others of Heavenly Sword Peak would live.

If Yun Jin lived, the others would die.

Zhao Wuji no longer had even a shred of dignity.

Yun Jin narrowed her eyes slightly. Ruan Jun, as if grasping a lifeline, looked overjoyed, “Yes! You can’t kill me! You care so much about the people of Heavenly Sword Peak, you wouldn’t want them to die!”

So what if Yun Jin was strong?

For the sake of those she cared about, she would have to admit defeat!

Zhao Wuji turned to Lin Ya and said, “Lin Ya, you know I never make empty threats. As long as Ruan Jun survives, you and your other disciples can live. Otherwise, you’ll all die. One newly entered disciple versus the lives of all your other disciples, you should know which is more important.”

His tone was firm. He believed Lin Ya would make the right decision.

Lin Ya let out a cold laugh and directly said to Yun Jin, “Xiao Jin, stop playing around.”

Yun Jin’s lips curled into a small smile. She replied, “Yes.”

Then.

A flash of cold light.

Tai’a Sword came down without hesitation.

In just an instant.

Ruan Jun’s head hit the ground, rolling with a thud.

He wasn’t even fully dead yet. His eyes were still wide open, staring hard at Yun Jin.

He couldn’t understand.

How dare Yun Jin?

How could she really dare to kill him?

“Xiao Jun!” Zhao Wuji roared in pain.

But to endure the backlash of the contract, even he couldn’t do it!

All he could do was rage powerlessly.

Ruan Jun stared at Yun Jin, “Master, Master will avenge me! Yun Jin, you’ll come accompany me, you will!”

Yun Jin smiled and said, “Then you’d better… wait patiently.”

As the words fell.

Sword light streaked across the sky.

Ruan Jun’s escaping nascent soul was pierced through the brow by that sword light!

In an instant, his soul scattered!

The eyes on his head finally closed in despair.

A flash of Heavenly Dao light.

The contract was fulfilled.

Winner: Yun Jin.

The battle ended. The barrier slowly faded.

With her sword dripping with blood, Yun Jin stood alone at the center of the arena.

The entire scene fell into silence.

Zhao Wuji stared at Ruan Jun’s corpse on the ground, grinding his teeth so hard the sound echoed.

His most cherished disciple was dead!

Killed just like that, by a newly admitted disciple of only three months!

The atmosphere turned heavy.

Zhou Li and Zhou Dai didn’t dare speak at all, they quietly backed away a few steps.

Eldest Senior Brother was Master’s favorite. Now that he’d died so horribly, Master would definitely vent his rage on someone. Naturally, they had to hide if they could.

Even the favored Han Xiaoyu didn’t dare step forward. He looked at Yun Jin, his eyes filled with shock.

That was the Eldest Senior Brother, and he died just like that!

“Yun Jin,” Zhao Wuji squeezed out the words from between clenched teeth. “You’re very good. Really good.”

“Many thanks for the Sect Leader’s praise,” Yun Jin responded calmly.

Zhao Wuji glared at her.

Good. Very good.

His beloved disciple was dead.

And this woman still looked like it meant nothing.

Since that’s the case.

He’d show her what hell on earth really was.

Lin Ya!

Must die!

Yue Zhao!

Must die!

Si Wanning, Yu Songnian!

Must all die!

He would make all of them die before her eyes, then listen to her weep in regret. And finally, send her to reunite with Ruan Jun!
