Chapter 269: The Yang Family Never Calls For Help In Battle
It was perfect! Ye Guan had been wanting to fight a powerful swordsman for quite a while now.
Fighting against a strong swordsman was the only way he could discover his shortcomings. From there, he could start working on them and become stronger. It was meaningless to fight those weaker than him.
He looked at Nan Nishui, and Nan Nishui was staring straight at him as well.
Their gazes locked onto each other, and both of them disappeared at the same time.
Schwing! Schwing!
Two rays of sword light tore through the air and rushed toward each other. The spacetime ahead of the sword lights was directly torn apart. Shrill noises continuously echoed, piercing the ears of everyone around.
Ping!
The moment their swords collided with each other, both Ye Guan and Nan Nishui were knocked backward, but Nan Nishui twisted in mid-air and recovered. When her gaze landed on Ye Guan, a sword was already a few inches before the latter.
A cold glint shone brightly. It was bone-chilling, similar to the cold water in a lake during winter.
Ye Guan stabilized himself before he thrust his sword toward Nan Nishui.
Clang!
Nan Nishui’s move was interrupted, but a mysterious force abruptly sprang up from her.
It was none other than a Sword Domain—Nan Nishui’s Frost Sword Domain!
Ye Guan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold pierced his bones. He was stupefied, as Nan Nishui’s domain was the most terrifying domain he had encountered so far. If he stayed here for even a moment longer, he was certain that his blood would freeze along with his bones.
Just then, Nan Nishui thrust her sword forward.
The temperature plummeted, and Ye Guan started to freeze.
He hurriedly unleashed his sword attack.
Forty-five swords!
The Frost Sword Domain was suppressing him, so he could only unleash forty-five swords.
Clang!
Ye Guan flew backward as a result of the collision. Nan Nishui chased after him, and she swiftly caught up to him. Her Frost Sword Domain engulfed Ye Guan once again.
Ye Guan unleashed another sword attack with all his might—forty-five swords!
He strengthened his attack with his Sword Soul and Sword Domain.
Clang!
However, Nan Nishui shattered his attacks once again, and he was blasted away, cutting a sorry figure in mid-air. To make matters worse, he was still in mid-air, but Nan Nishui’s sword was already a few meters away from him.
Just like that, Nan Nishui made Ye Guan bounce like a ball, suppressing him thoroughly.
The Divine Spirits on the city walls sighed in relief.
They were aware of Ye Guan’s reputation. He was the strongest young swordsman in the Guanxuan Universe, and he had already killed many monstrous talents from the True Universe, especially those on the True Martial List.
His accomplishments in the Sword Dao allowed him to become practically invincible figure among his peers in the Guanxuan Universe. Obviously, Nan Nishui’s accomplishments in the Sword Dao also allowed her to become the strongest swordsman among the younger generation of the True Universe.
It seemed that the True Universe’s representative was capable of suppressing the Guanxuan Universe’s representative, and it brought immense relief to the Divine Spirits.
Meanwhile, Nan Nishui had to have already sent Ye Guan flying by at least a kilometer away from his initial location. Nan Nishui was completely suppressing him, and he couldn’t do anything other than defend himself.
He had been attempting to go on an offensive, but Nan Nishui had somehow been managing to suppress him. It was clear that Nan Nishui’s accomplishments in the Sword Dao were higher than his accomplishments.
To make matters worse, his cultivation base couldn’t compare to Nan Nishui’s.
Clang!
His sword light was shattered, and he was blasted hundreds of meters away.
However, Nan Nishui inexplicably stopped attacking.
She glared at Ye Guan and said, “You’re studying my Sword Domain!”
She discovered something off. Ye Guan was holding back despite his predicament, which meant that he had to have been studying her Sword Domain.
Ye Guan didn’t reply. He rushed forward and aimed his sword at her.
He was finally going to make his first move!
Nan Nishui frowned. Ye Guan’s response made her certain that Ye Guan had been studying her Sword Domain.
But why?
Nan Nishui snapped back to her senses upon seeing Ye Guan’s approach. She took a stance with her sword, and she thrust her sword forward as well. However, she decided to refrain from using her Sword Domain.
Ping!
The two sword attacks collided, and the two were sent flying away from each other.
Nan Nishui frowned. She realized that she couldn’t suppress him without using her Sword Domain. Ye Guan’s Sword Intent and Sword Soul were just too terrifying for her to handle by herself without any domains.
Nan Nishui stared at Ye Guan in a new light. She didn’t dare to underestimate him anymore. In addition, Ye Guan clearly had no domains to use, which was exactly the reason he had been examining Nan Nishui’s Frost Sword Domain. He was trying to become enlightened to his own domain using Nan Nishui’s Sword Domain!
It was kind of absurd, but heaven-defying monstrous talents were called heaven-defying for a reason. In other words, Nan Nishui believed that someone out there had to be capable of succeeding in such an endeavor.
Nan Nishui stared at Ye Guan.
She took a stance with her sword and exclaimed, “Swords, gather!”
Buzz!
A million buzzing noises filled the city. Soon, a million sword lights took to the skies.
It was extremely terrifying to see a million rays of sword light taking off to the skis at practically the same time. Ye Guan frowned. The young woman clearly had no intentions of fighting a long, drawn-out battle with him.
It was proven by how Nan Nishui had just unleashed her ultimate move!
Ye Guan was silent.
The young woman was clever, and she managed to successfully foil his plans.
Just then, Nan Nishui stepped forward. She pointed her sword at Ye Guan and yelled, “Behead him!”
Swoosh!
Nan Nishui’s Sword Domain engulfed Ye Guan, ensuring that he would die in the face of the oncoming attack.
Ye Guan was immediately suppressed by Nan Nishui’s Sword Domain. At the same time, a million swords appeared in the sky, and they all descended upon Ye Guan, creating a picturesque sight akin to a meteor shower.
An extremely terrifying sword force erupted between heaven and earth.
Frost Sword Force!
Ye Guan felt that there was no way he could withstand such an attack, and Nan Nishui had even borrowed the power of a million swords.
The Divine Spirits stared intently at Ye Guan; their eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
Ye Guan’s death meant that no one could threaten the True Universe anymore. The Guanxuan Universe would become like a meek little lamb before them!
Ye Guan stared deeply at the oncoming swords. He closed his eyes slowly, and the world seemed to have quietened down. He calmed his mind and cleared his head.
What was a domain?
The mysterious voice had once asked, “Why not use your sword to create your own domain?”
He had to use his sword to create a domain!
His sword’s foundation was the Invincible Sword Intent. If he were to use his sword to create a domain, it would mean transforming his sword intent into a sword domain!
Ye Guan’s eyes shot wide open, and he thrust his sword forward. suddenly opened his eyes and thrust his sword forward. An innumerable streak of Invincible Sword Intent filled the spacetime in front of him.
Boom!
The spacetime quivered violently before it was reborn into a domain.
The Invincible Sword Domain!
The oncoming swords were instantly suppressed the moment they entered Ye Guan’s Invincible Sword Domain.
Nan Nishui’s pupils constricted, and her heart was gripped by disbelief. She was right. Ye Guan had been trying to get enlightened to his own domain by examining her domain. Shockingly, he had succeeded!
A fierce glint fleeted across Nan Nishui’s eyes.
“Kill him!” she roared and disappeared.
Nan Nishui’s sword was enveloped in her unique sword energy as it entered Ye Guan’s Invincible Sword Domain. Nan Nishui deployed her domain within Ye Guan’s domain.
It was a fight between domains!
The spacetime failed to withstand the expansion of two domains at the same point in space, and it crumbled almost immediately. However, Ye Guan and Nan Nishui entered a boundless patch in spacetime, which had infinite durability.
Nan Nishui roared in fury. She thrust her sword forward.
A million swords trembled violently and made a beeline for Ye Guan.
Ye Guan made a move as well. It would be a head-on confrontation!
Boom!
Nan Nishui’s one million swords were sent flying along with her.
Her Frost Sword Domain had failed to withstand Ye Guan’s Invincible Sword Domain, but it wasn’t really strange as the strength of a swordsman’s domain was determined by the strength of their faith.
The swordsman whose faith was more resolute than the other would emerge victorious in a battle between domains. And what was Ye Guan’s faith? It was invincibility! He thoroughly believed that his Sword Dao was invincible, so his Sword Dao’s foundations were extremely sturdy, seemingly unshakeable.
Nan Nishui was astonished to see her sword domain being suppressed. What is going on? It hasn’t even been two minutes since he learned how to expand his sword domain!
Just then, Ye Guan took a step forward, and his sword domain engulfed Nan Nishui.
Nan Nishui’s pupils constricted, and she rushed toward Ye Guan with a sword in hand. She couldn’t let Ye Gun take the initiative in this fight, so she had to go on the offensive!
Sword lights shining in an icy, cold glint burst out of Nan Nishui, and they all flew toward Ye Guan. However, the speed, power, and energy within each streak of sword light were shredded the moment they entered Ye Guan’s sword domain.
Ye Guan thrust his sword forward.
Clang!
Nan Nishui’s sword lights shattered into innumerable light fragments, and she looked as though she were a kite with its strings cut as she was blasted away at least several kilometers from where she initially stood.
The Divine Spirits froze at the incredulous sight.
She lost? Nan Nishui lost? Their expressions darkened. He actually got enlightened during battle? T-this is too ridiculous!
Little Pagoda asked, “What’s up with him? Why is he always getting enlightened during battles?”
The mysterious voice’s reply came a bit late. “He’s probably one of those geniuses who are only capable of breakthroughs through battles. I’ve met talents like him before, and they strive to improve through constant combat. Unfortunately, people like him have one giant weakness.”
Little Pagoda’s curiosity was piqued. “What is it?”
The mysterious voice replied, “They’ll eventually get beaten up to death.”
Little Pagoda was speechless.
The mysterious voice added, “His talent is comparable to the Unfettered Swordsman. He’s incessantly challenging those stronger than him, and he’s constantly on the lookout for opportunities to go beyond his limits.”
Little Pagoda pondered silently and agreed. Indeed! Ye Guan and the Unfettered Swordsman were indeed a bit too similar.
Ye Guan stared deeply at Nan Nishui.
He was about to make a move when seventeen cultivators appeared next to her.
Ye Guan was stunned, and he asked, “You’re trying to gang up on me?”
Nan Nishui glared at him and shouted, “You can call for backup, too!”
Ye Guan was silent. I see, so you want to be shameless? I’ll show you what shamelessness means!
Nan Nishui added, “Young Lord Ye, I don’t think you should whine about how we’re ganging up on you because it’s not like I’m prohibiting you from calling for help.”
Call for help?
Ye Guan met her gaze and said in a serious tone, “The members of the Yang Family never call for help in battle unless we’re truly struggling against our opponent!”
Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.
Nan Nishui glared contemptuously at Ye Guan and taunted, “Sounds like you just don’t have anyone to help you.”
Ye Guan remained calm as he replied, “My mother told me that I should fight on my own if my opponent is just a lone individual, but if my opponents gang up on me rather than fighting me one-on-one, I’m apparently allowed to call my aunt here.”
”Are you sure you want me to call her?”
Nan Nishui chuckled and said, “I heard your father was the king of relying on others. You must be the prince of relying on others, then. Come, let me see just what kind of people are willing to back you up!”
“Sure!” Ye Guan nodded and said, “As you wish…”
