I Have A Sword

Chapter 69: Cannot Be Compared

Ye Guan was not afraid of death. He was emancipated from all the worldly sufferings the moment he swung his sword. Death was coming, and he would embrace it without hesitation.

It was the strongest sword move that Ye Guan had ever executed. It was one of the simplest sword moves a swordsman could execute, yet it allowed Ye Guan to reach the Sword Immortal Realm.

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s eyes filled with astonishment as it started at Ye Guan. It had seen many talents in the Main Guanxuan Academy, and Ye Guan would be considered a top talent even in the academy.

Such a young Sword Immortal is rare even in the Main Guanxuan Academy. If the academy discovers him… A murderous glint flashed in the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s eyes.

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon was sure that the Main Guanxuan Academy would make an exception to directly accept Ye Guan as a student of the academy.

If that were to happen, it would be tantamount to carrying a ticking time bomb!

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan didn’t dare to underestimate the seventeen-year-old Sword Immortal.

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon roared and spat fire. The air distorted as the crimson-red dragon flame of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon flew toward Ye Guan.

Boom!

Ye Guan’s sword intent was torn apart, and he plummeted helplessly to the ground.

The sword intent that had been protecting him was like a piece of paper in front of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s scorching flame, and Ye Guan’s skin started to melt upon being exposed to the heat.

If it hadn’t been for Ye Guan’s sword intent, Ye Guan would have been reduced to ashes upon taking the brunt of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s dragon flame.

Ye Guan’s sword intent recovered and enveloped him once more, but Ye Guan was well aware that his sword intent was like a bucket of water against a prairie fire.

Ye Guan soon closed his eyes, knowing that he was about to die. I guess I’ll just die.

Swoosh!

A layer of golden light suddenly enveloped Ye Guan and vanquished the dragon flame that had been burning Ye Guan’s sword intent away.

A figure shining in a golden hue appeared in front of Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was surprised. “Master Pagoda?”

The figure was none other than Little Pagoda!

Little Pagoda chuckled and asked, “Have you given up?”

Ye Guan smiled wryly. It wasn’t like his survival was in his hands.

Little Pagoda smiled slightly at Ye Guan.

He was about to say something, but the Ancient Heavenly Dragon growled. “You…”

Little Pagoda punched out, and a beam of golden light streaked through the sky.

Bam!

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon was struck by the golden light, and its figure blurred as it crumbled apart. Little Pagoda glared at the dragon and said, “Did I allow you to speak?”

The onlookers were as still as statues. How did he suppress an Ancient Heavenly Dragon with just one punch? It was just an illusory figure, but it was the illusory figure of an Ancient Heavenly Dragon!

Lee Yun stared at Little Pagoda in terror. He didn’t expect that the two puny youngsters of the Ye Clan actually had such fearsome backers. Why was the Ye Clan still in the Lower Realm? Were they making fun of everyone else?

The Ancient Heavenly Dragon stared deeply at Little Pagoda as it faded away.

“What is your name?” asked the Ancient Heavenly Dragon.

Little Pagoda’s expression was indifferent as he said, “I don’t have a name, but people call me Master Pagoda. If your clan wants to take revenge, come to me. I am not afraid of anyone because I am invincible!”

Little Pagoda’s arrogance rendered everyone speechless.

“Invincible?” the Ancient Heavenly Dragon scoffed, “You’re clearly overestimating yourself. You’re just a frog in a well—”

“Shut up!” Little Pagoda snapped and waved his sleeve, sending a beam of golden light toward the Ancient Heavenly Dragon.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion as the illusory figure of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon was snuffed out by the golden light.

The True Dragons were despaired once more. We’re doomed!

The Shenge Clan was in despair as well.

They had no idea that such powerhouses were behind the Ye Clan. However, the Shenge Clan didn’t panic because they were still under the protection of the previous Chosen One’s destiny. In other words, it would be difficult to annihilate them.

Little Pagoda glared at the Shenge Clan members.

“Don’t move. Those daring enough to move will die,” he spat coldly.

Little Pagoda then walked toward the severely injured Ye Guan.

Little Pagoda asked, “Are you okay?”

Ye Guan forced out a smile and replied, “I’m fine.”

Little Pagoda nodded meekly.

After some hesitation, he asked, “You’re not mad at me, right?”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “How can I be mad at you? I would have died if you hadn’t stepped up. ”

Little Pagoda sighed and said, “If I had only done so much earlier…”

Ye Guan shook his head once more.

“You don’t owe me anything, Master Pagoda. You have been guiding me in my journey as a swordsman. I owe you a lot, and I’m not entitled to your help. I still have a conscience as well, so how can I possibly demand your help?” said Ye Guan.

Little Pagoda sighed, and complicated emotions filled his heart as he reminisced. He could still remember how his first master considered life and death trivial. He would always be on the brink of death or in the middle of a massacre.

His second master was a hot-blooded, shameless, but sentimental young man. He was good to his friends and family.

Little Pagoda’s third master was a man whom he truly liked. I think raising Ye Guan outside of the family was the right choice.

Just then, the blurry figure above Ye Qing asked, “Who are you?”

Little Pagoda turned toward the phantom. He shook his head and smiled.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you that, I hope you’ll understand,” he said.

The blurry figure nodded and remarked, “You have an outstanding disciple. He’s talented enough to become a well-known figure even during the Sword Master’s era.”

Little Pagoda glanced at Ye Qing and chuckled. “You’ve chosen an excellent disciple as well with a great personality. You have good taste!”

The blurry figure boisterously laughed.

Little Pagoda also started laughing.

Soon, Little Pagoda turned toward the Shenge Clan members.

The Shenge Clan members stared warily at Little Pagoda.

Lee Yun stepped forward and asked, “May I know your esteemed name?”

Little Pagoda calmly asked, “Are you even worthy of knowing my esteemed name?”

Lee Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“My Shenge Clan is under the protection of the previous Chosen One’s destiny, and the previous generation’s Chosen One was the Sword Master!” he exclaimed.

Little Pagoda nodded. “I know. Your ancestor is Lee Ge! Back then, she and I—she was acquainted with the Sword Master. The Sword Master values his relationship with other people, so he decided to help the Shenge Clan.”

Lee Yun’s pupils constricted.

“How do you know that?” he asked in disbelief.

“You don’t have to know,” said Little Pagoda before declaring, “All you have to know is that the Shenge Clan’s destiny shall be severed today!”

“You…!” Lee Yun roared. He pointed at Little Pagoda and shouted, “Do you really think that the destiny that the Sword Master has bestowed upon us will be severed just because you said so? Your arrogance knows no bounds!”

“Don’t believe me?” Little Pagoda opened his palm, and the Path Sword flew into his hand. “Then watch carefully as I sever your clan’s destiny!”

Little Pagoda swung the Path Sword and drew a beautiful arc in the sky, but nothing happened.

The onlookers were confused.

Little Pagoda’s expression turned pale.

“Little Path, don’t fool around.”

However, the Path Sword did not reply. Little Path had respected and obeyed three people throughout her life. The first one was her master, the second one was her master’s brother, and the third one was Ye Guan.

Little Pagoda swung the sword once more to no avail.

The onlookers were thoroughly bewildered at this point. What nonsense is this guy doing?

Little Pagoda was flustered, and he begged. “My sister, my dear sister! Master Pagoda—no, sorry. I mean, please help your little pagoda out. Just this once, please! I beg you, please!”

The Path Sword was strong, but the destiny that the Sword Master had bestowed upon the Shenge Clan was extremely difficult to sever.

There were only a handful of spiritual artifacts capable of such a feat, but the Path Sword was one of those spiritual artifacts.

The Path Sword was capable of severing every Law, Dao and Destiny. It could break through any restriction, any Great Dao, and just about anything. However, the Path Sword remained unmoving.

Little Pagoda stood frozen and hesitated. Eventually, he swung his arm.

Swoosh!

A wave of sword light swept past the Shenge Clan members.

Shrieeek!

A shrill scream filled the air, and the illusory figure of a dragon above the Shenge Clan members disappeared into nothingness.

The Shenge Clan members froze upon sensing something flowing out of them.

Lee Yun’s pupils constricted, and he cried out, “Our destiny! You… You actually severed my Shenge Clan’s destiny…!”

“Unhappy?” Little Pagod said nonchalantly, “Fight me!”

Lee Yun looked behind him and shouted, “Summon our ancestor!”

The clouds above them darkened as an ominous shadow loomed over those beneath the clouds. The figure of a woman appeared just beneath the clouds, and she was none other than Lee Ge, the strongest ancestor of the Shenge Clan.

However, the figure wasn’t her true body; it was just a projection.

Nonetheless, it was at least ten times stronger than the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s projection. The woman’s cultivation base caused cracks to form in the True Dragon World.

The True Dragon World was struggling to endure Lee Ge’s might, creating an apocalyptic sight.

“You better stay there and wait for your death!” Lee Yun shouted while pointing at Little Pagoda. He then pointed at Ye Guan and shouted, “You and your Great Sword Immortal master will die as well!”

Ye Guan ignored Lee Yun and stared at the illusory figure of the Shenge Clan’s ancestor, Lee Ge. He felt a shiver down his spine just looking at Lee Ge from afar, and his face turned pallid.

Ye Guan’s voice was trembling as he asked, “Master Pagoda, can Plain-Skirt Sister compare to her?”

Little Pagoda glanced at Lee Ge before saying, “They cannot be compared!”

Ye Guan went beyond pallid at the remark.

He then stepped up and declared with determination. “I will bear the consequences of my actions. I don’t have any other backers aside from Master Pagoda. If your clan has any grievances, direct them to me and Master Pagoda!”

Huh? Did I say something wrong? Little Pagoda frowned in confusion.
