I Have A Sword

Chapter 344: The Yang Family Members Would Rather Die in Battle than Kneel in Submission

"How reckless!"

Cirou's voice echoed throughout the starry, and a mysterious voice enveloped the Adjudication Sword Master, immobilizing her.

Cirou then appeared in front of the Adjudication Sword Master. She cast a cold gaze upon the latter and said, "Come, let me see if your swordsmanship has improved over the years."

Since her persuasion had fallen on deaf ears, it was time to use force.

The Adjudication Sword Master ignored Cirou and turned to look at True Selflessness. If she had any feelings for Ye Guan, the latter would live to see another day.

However, True Selflessness was quiet for a while before shaking her head.

The Adjudication Sword Master closed her eyes. Moments later, she opened her eyes, revealing the determined light within them as she roared, "Both of you, come at me together!"

A shrill noise echoed as the Adjudication Sword Master unsheathed her sword.

...

Ye Guan flew across the starry sky on his sword.

Thanks to the Sword Master's Dao Imprint, he was temporarily a Time Immortal Realm cultivator, which meant that he was significantly faster than when running away with his Peak Immortal Realm cultivation base. Still, he couldn't shake off his pursuers.

The Great Destiny Sovereigns behind him stuck to him like a koala to a tree.

An ancient incantation abruptly rang out from behind Ye Guan.

A sense of unease crept into Ye Guan's heart. The next moment, spacetime in front of him trembled violently. Shockingly, the flow of spacetime around him and in front of him had reserved; he was now moving backward rather than forward.

Ye Guan quickly recovered from his shock and decisively swung his sword.

Swish!

A dazzling sword light slashed down.

The old man wearing daoist robes was already standing in front of Ye Guan.

Six Great Destiny Sovereigns surrounded him, and with the old man wearing daoist robes, Ye Guan was now surrounded by seven Great Destiny Sovereigns. The old man wearing daoist robes was even a sorcerer.

Ye Guan's expression turned grim.

He might stand a chance in a one-on-one battle with his current strength, but going against seven Great Destiny Sovereigns at the same time was just impossible.

Even if he were to burn his fleshy body, soul, and bloodlines, he had zero chance of winning.

The old man wearing daoist robes observed Ye Guan with a smile and remarked, "You've truly defied our expectations. You are but a paltry Peak Immortal, but you're capable of contending with Great Destiny Sovereigns. Even in the era of my Eternal Civilization, you'll stand out as an anomaly among anomalies, a genius among geniuses!"

Ye Guan looked at the old man wearing daoist robes and asked, "Are you a sorcerer from the Eternal Civilization?"

The old man wearing daoist robes nodded. "Indeed."

Ye Guan continued, "I've encountered Ancient Divine Sorcerers and Divine Mages, but I've never seen what a sorcerer from the Eternal Civilization can do."

The old man wearing daoist robes chuckled. "Are you challenging me to a one-on-one duel?"

Ye Guan's eyes were fixed on the old man wearing daoist robes.

"Enlighten me if you would," he said.

The old man wearing daoist robes grinned and gestured with his hand. The formidable Great Destiny Sovereigns moved aside.

"You move first," the old man wearing daoist robes said.

Without hesitation, Ye Guan vanished.

A streak of sword light streaked across the starry sky, and Ye Guan appeared in front of the old man wearing daoist robes. He executed the Heavenrend Quickdraw seventy times in one sword move.

In addition, he also harnessed the might of his Lightning God Imprint, the Divine Tree of Nature, and the Sword Master's Dao Imprint. He had gone all-out. A mighty conflagration erupted from Ye Guan's sword, and it reduced every inch of spacetime in its way into ashes.

The surrounding spacetime eventually became illusory; it just couldn't handle Ye Guan's sword.

However, the old man wearing daoist robes remained calm. Just as Ye Guan's sword was a few meters away from him, he calmly opened his palm, and a golden light poured out of his hand to create a golden shield in front of him.

Boom!

The golden shield trembled violently before letting out a crisp cracking noise.

The old man wearing daoist robes gently pushed his right hand forward.

It was just a simple push, but it generated a deafening boom that sent Ye Guan flying tens of kilometers away. When he came to a stop, a trickle of blood slowly dripped down his lips.

Ye Guan looked down and saw that his fleshly body was covered in cracks.

The old man wearing daoist robes had moved only once, but he already suffered severe injuries.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ye Guan looked toward the old man wearing daoist robes not far away. The latter chuckled and said, "If you were a Great Sovereign, perhaps you could challenge me. Unfortunately, you're still too weak."

The old man wearing daoist robes pointed a finger at Ye Guan.

"Divine Lightning of the Nine Heavens, descend," he muttered.

Boom!

A lightning bolt plummeted toward Ye Guan’s head. However, Ye Guan neither dodged nor avoided it; he allowed the divine lightning to engulf him.

The old man wearing daoist robes furrowed his brows. Ye Guan was unscathed. In fact, Ye Guan was actually devouring the divine lightning.

The old man wearing daoist robes stared at Ye Guan for quite a while before exclaiming in shock, "Lightning tribulation force!"

Ye Guan took a deep breath and clenched his fists, prompting a terrifying wave of lightning force to surge out of him.

Just then, the old man wearing daoist robes pointed at him again, and a tempestuous wind swept across the starry sky toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s eyes widened. The wind blade seemed ordinary, but it carried a horrifying amount of power that made Ye Guan frown. He didn't dare to be careless. He gripped his sword with his right hand and slashed out.

Ye Guan's current stacking limit was seventy strikes in one, so he performed that against the oncoming wind blade. However, his right arm let out an audible crack; clearly, his fleshly body couldn't quite withstand the toll of executing such a move two times in a short period of time.

Boom!

Ye Guan's sword light crumbled in the face of the wind blade.

Ye Guan was forced to retreat, and the wind blade chased after him relentlessly. He cast a gaze of disbelief at the wind blade. What kind of wind is that? How come it shattered my sword move as if it were made out of paper?

A glint of determination flashed in Ye Guan's eyes. He was forced to interrupt his train of thought as the wind blade was already a few meters away from him. Left with no choice, he slashed out once more—a sword move emblazoned with Unbeatable!

Boom!

The wind blade trembled violently, and it was forced to come to a halt.

Ye Guan’s right hand was torn open, and blood incessantly poured out of the wound.

Despite that, Ye Guan was horrified to find that the wind blade was still after him!

Ye Guan roared and pressed forward with his sword.

Boom!

The wind blade was blasted away. The old man wearing daoist robes opened his palm, and the wind blade flew toward him. It orbited him as though it was alive.

The old man wearing daoist robes stared at Ye Guan with a hint of astonishment in his eyes."Your sword intent is pretty durable. I didn't expect that it'd withstand my Netherwind."

Ye Guan was unwittingly transfixed on the old man wearing daoist robes.

He gripped the sword in his bleeding right hand; blood also poured out of his mouth without any signs of stopping.

The old man wearing daoist robes was far stronger than the majority of the Great Destiny Sovereigns out there.

"Come again!" the old man roared and tapped his Netherwind with his left hand. It surged and congealed into a colossal saber that made its way toward Ye Guan.

The terrifying sight made Ye Guan's heart skip a beat. Regardless, he remained steadfast as he stepped forward and unleashed his Sword Domain. It didn't take long for the colossal saber to reach his Sword Domain, and Ye Guan went pale the moment the colossal saber was under the influence of his domain.

Ignoring the pain, Ye Guan turned into a streak of sword light that rushed at the colossal saber. He raised his sword and struck it with his sword emblazoned with Unbeatable.

Kaboom!

The colossal saber quivered violently upon getting hit. Ye Guan took advantage of the momentary lull to raise his sword and slash out once more.

Boom!

The colossal saber shattered with a resounding explosion, and the Netherwind was also blasted away. However, Ye Guan wasn't quite done just yet. He vanished and sent a diagonal slash toward the old man wearing daoist robes.

The old man reacted quickly. He opened his palm, and a conflagration erupted. It consumed Ye Guan's sword light, startling Ye Guan into a retreat. When he looked up once more after retreating, he was shocked to find that the spacetime in front of him had been obliterated by the flames.

Ye Guan looked down at the sword in his hand and found that it was blurry. The sword intent that had been maintaining its form seemed to have run dry.

Ye Guan's expression turned solemn. He gazed at the old man wearing daoist robes in the distance and saw a white and eerie flame in the old man's palm. The spacetime a few hundred meters around the old man was melting layer by layer, creating an incredibly horrifying sight.

The old man smiled at Ye Guan, "Do you know what this flame is?"

Ye Guan replied, "I'm eager to hear about it."

The Divine Tree of Nature inside of him was patching him up at the moment. He just needed to buy enough time.

The old man smiled and explained, "I know you're buying time to heal up, but it's useless. I'm too strong. Even if you somehow managed to raise your cultivation base to the Great Sovereign Realm, you still won't be my opponent."

The old man paused before continuing. "You're an exceedingly rare talent, and it is a pity for you to die here. How about this? I'm willing to give you a way out. Offer the Guanxuan Universe to us and submit; do that, and you may live along with the Guanxuan Universe.”

Ye Guan was stunned. He's actually persuading me to surrender?

Even the Great Destiny Sovereigns behind the old man were surprised. They were here to kill Ye Guan and plunder his divine items rather than to ask him to surrender.

Still, they didn't dare to say anything. The old man's position was much higher position than theirs in the Eternal World.

Ye Guan was silent, seemingly thinking about the offer.

The old man wasn't in a hurry at all. He stared at Ye Guan with a light smile on his lips. The young man before him was an extraordinary talent beyond extraordinary talents, but he was still too young.

Unfortunately, Ye Guan's young age also meant that he was no match for the old man.

"Hahaha!" Ye Guan suddenly laughed and exclaimed, "The Yang Family members would rather die in battle than kneel in submission!"

"I see..." the old man nodded lightly before exclaiming, "Then, die with your Guanxuan Universe!"

The old man opened his palm, and a terrifying conflagration erupted.

The space within a few kilometers of the old man began to disintegrate.

Ye Guan chuckled and shouted, "Come here!"

With that, Ye Guan got ready to ignite both his own fleshly body and soul. However, the spacetime behind Ye Guan was suddenly torn open. Moments later, Ye Guan heard someone approaching him from behind.

The old man's gaze turned solemn as his gaze landed on the newcomer. The Great Destiny Sovereigns reacted the same.

Ye Guan slowly turned around and was stunned to see the newcomer.

He was stunned because he couldn't recognize them.

Who were they?
