I Have A Sword

Chapter 105: Blood Red Skirt

Chapter 105: Blood Red Skirt

Everyone’s eyes were on the long spear. The spear shaft seemed to be made out of magma, and the air around it was distorted due to the heat coming out of it.

The bright orange glow at the spearhead sent chills down everyone’s spine. The spear alone was worthy of worship, and people could only cower in fear in front of the Martial God Aura it emitted.

The Martial Goddesses of the An Clan had once stood next to the Chosen One of the previous generation. No one expected that An Daoxin had such a weapon in her arsenal because it was supposed to be in the hands of those two Martial Goddesses.

Ye Guan wordlessly stared at the long spear. Even from afar, he could feel the horrible power that the spear contained, especially the Martial God Aura that it contained. It made Ye Guan feel as if a mountain were on his shoulders.

His expression turned heavy, and he glared at the Martial God Spear while contemplating.

Just then, Little Pagoda suddenly said, “Use the Path Sword!”

Ye Guan shook his head.

Little Pagoda asked, “Why not?”

Ye Guan laughed. “She’s not worthy.”

Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.

An Daoxin gripped the Martial God Spear tightly.

Boom!

A powerful energy burst from her, and it annihilated space itself. The destructive wave of energy swept across the tournament square.

An Ya grinned at the terrifying sight. She closed her eyes and said, “It’s over.”

It’s over! Everyone else felt the same.

The Martial God Spear was beyond the mortal coil. No one could possibly withstand it.

The Qingxuan Sword in the hands of the Undying Clan was the only weapon that could contend against the Martial God Spear. The Martial God Spear’s appearance had basically determined the outcome of the battle.

An Daoxin pointed the spear at Ye Guan. There was a fierce glare in her eyes as she roared, “You won’t live to see another day, you bastard!”

Ye Guan had pushed her into a corner in front of everyone, humiliating her.

An Daoxin took a stance with her spear and swung it at Ye Guan.

Whoosh!

The spear carved a beautiful arc in the air as it made a beeline for Ye Guan while leaving a trail of fire. Crackling and popping noises reminiscent of fireworks echoed as the spear sliced open the space in front of it.

It was a terrifying sight, but Ye Guan stared expressionlessly at the spear.

Little Pagoda was worried, and he warned, “The spear contains the Will of a Martial God. You have to use the Path Sword against it.”

An Daoxin and the Martial God Spear weren't that scary, Little Pagoda had spoken because he was worried about the Will of a Martial God within the Martial God Spear. The will would amplify the spear’s power, lifting its strength to greater heights.

Ye Guan could sense the Will of a Martial God in the spear.

It was just a will, but it made Ye Guan feel helpless.

Many different thoughts popped up in his mind. Resistance and suppression! Ye Guan had been suppressed many times since he arrived here. Logic and fairness? How many elites in this world were willing to uphold justice for the weak?

There were definitely a few upright cultivators out there.

However, it wouldn’t change the fact that the world was cruel and full of injustice.

The strong would receive praise, while the weak would be trampled on. It was a rigged game where those with bigger fists would win while those with smaller fists would be bullied.

Today’s event was the perfect example of that. Had the An Clan once been fair or logical to him? Did it matter to everyone whether who was right or wrong? Did the Will of a Martial God care about that? Nope.

Ye Guan chuckled hollowly. He had forgotten about the Guanxuan Guards’ existence in the Guanxuan Academy. If everyone abided by the Guanxuan Law, why did the Sword Master even create the Guanxuan Guards?

Laws were the bottom line of morals, and power was the bottom line of morals. The law would suppress those who disregarded morals, while power would suppress those who disregarded the law.

In other words, the Guanxuan Law didn’t hold that much weight outside the Guanxuan Academy. Regardless, Ye Guan only cared about his sword. Nothing else mattered aside from his sword.

Ye Guan smiled brightly. I know who I am, and I know the world. If I don’t want to feel any more injustice, I have to change myself first before blaming others for my circumstances. That is just how the world works…

Ye Guan thrust his sword toward the Martial God Spear. It was a casual move, without the bells and whistles, but it carried with it a terrifying deluge of sword aura.

The black-robed old man watching on a mountain peak was stupefied. His voice quivered as he exclaimed, “H-he’s a Sword Sovereign!”

A Sword Sovereign?! An Ya felt like a lightning bolt had struck her out of the blue.

Gu Chaoyuan reeled in shock, and he staggered a few steps backward.

He looked down at Ye Guan in disbelief. “He’s a Sword Sovereign!”

Boom!

Ye Guan’s sword collided with the Martial God Spear, and he forcibly stopped the latter in mid-air.

A collective wave of shock engulfed the crowd of onlookers.

An Daoxin cried out in disbelief. “H-h-how is this possible?! This is impossible!”

The mysterious voice in Ye Qing’s head remarked, “A Sword Sovereign… he has become a swordsman who knows himself and the world. His Sword Dao is stable despite making a breakthrough in battle. T-this is absurd!”

Ye Qing smiled. He was truly happy to witness Ye Guan’s breakthrough.

Ji Xuan was taken aback. Ye Guan’s aura had changed drastically. His aura no longer belonged to a Great Sword Immortal. He had truly become a Sword Sovereign!

Ji Xuan’s jaw fell to the ground as she stood rooted and took in the pleasant surprise that had unfolded in front of her. This is great! Ji Xuan almost jumped for joy and excitement.

Little Pagoda screamed, “Hahaha! A Sword Sovereign! This brat actually became a Sword Sovereign under the Will of a Martial God’s pressure. Great. This is great! This is all because I’m too good of a teacher! Haha…”

The mysterious voice in the pagoda didn’t know what to say.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was still staring at the spear in front of him. The Martial God Spear still contained the Will of a Martial God, but the heavy feeling on his shoulders had disappeared.

Ye Guan had become a Sword Sovereign, but the Will of a Martial God was still undeniably strong. Ye Guan admired the Will of a Martial God, but he still decisively swung his sword.

The Martial God Spear was sent flying away, but Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet. A bright light dazzled everyone as a sword light made a beeline for An Daoxin.

An Daoxin’s pupils constricted, and her expression turned gloomy. She didn’t expect that Ye Guan would make a breakthrough into the Sword Sovereign Realm mid-fight.

At this point, Ye Guan was considered one of the best talents even in the Main Guanxuan Academy.

An Daoxin couldn’t have imagined—even in her wildest dreams—that such a talent would exist on the Zhongtu Divine Continent.

Shrieeek!

The air shrieked as Ye Guan’s sword approached An Daoxin.

Boom!

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He instantly created another sword made out of sword energy, and he immediately swung it at his right flank.

Boom!

Ye Guan’s sword shattered, but a figure was sent flying away.

“A Divine Tribulation Realm powerhouse!”

The onlookers were stupefied. The Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator was obviously an elite of the An Clan. The onlookers revealed strange looks at the revelation.

Why did a powerhouse of the An Clan intervene? How could this be considered a fair contest if the An Clan was allowed to intervene? Fuck! Do they not care about their reputation anymore?

An Ya’s expression was somber. She didn’t want An Daoxin to die here because the An Clan would fall into decline if An Daoxin died. There was no way they could produce another talent on the same level as An Daoxin in the next few generations.

In addition, they had to kill Ye Guan here.

Ye Guan had to die!

He was so young, but he was already a Sword Sovereign. An Ya was scared of him.

If Ye Guan managed to become a student of the Main Guanxuan Academy, there was no telling how strong Ye Guan would become once he was given access to the Main Guanxuan Academy’s immense resources.

Ye Guan had to die here. Otherwise, the An Clan would perish.

An Ya decisively stood up with that thought in mind and yelled, “Stand back!”

Stand back? The onlookers were stunned. What’s going on?

Gu Chaoyuan whipped around and stared at An Ya incredulously. “Clan Leader An, what are you doing? This is the Guanxuan Academy. Are you—”

“Shut up!” An Ya interrupted Gu Chaoyuan. She glared at him and roared, “One more word from you, and you will die!”

Gu Chaoyuan was furious.

Meanwhile, An Ya took out a jade pendant and shattered it.

Rumble!

There was a low rumble as multitudinous rifts in space opened behind An Ya.

Gu Chaoyuan’s face fell. Has the An Clan gone mad?

Soon, the powerhouses of the An Clan—numbering close to a thousand—marched out of the rifts in space. The onlookers were stupefied, but they went silent. They were aware that they couldn’t do anything other than watch.

Thirty-six Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators walked out of the rifts in space for a total of thirty-seven Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators, and there were roughly a hundred Dao Tribulation Realm cultivators,

The cultivators with the weakest cultivation bases were Major Tribulation Realm cultivators. The An Clan had brought an army that was perfectly capable of taking over the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy.

It was a terrifying sight, and it showed everyone that the An Clan was truly one of the world’s great clans.

The onlookers also noticed a few sinister auras in hiding, and they seemed more powerful than the Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators in the open.

This is absurd! Gu Chaoyuan inwardly cursed. He was beyond pallid as he stood on Mount Guanxuan. Are they mad? Did they also summon their powerhouses from Qingzhou?

Ye Guan silently took in the terrifying sight. He truly didn’t expect the An Clan to go this far.

He glared at An Ya and said, “The Destiny Contest was supposed to be a fair fight. Must the An Clan bully me like this?”

“The An Clan will bully you today!” An Ya shouted, “And those daring enough to speak for you will be silenced!”

How arrogant!

The onlookers held the An Clan in contempt, but none of them dared to speak.

An Ya glared at Ye Guan and said, “I know you have a Dao Protector. Call them out! I want to see just who exactly is your Dao Protector. I want to know who gave you the courage to stand against my An Clan.”

Ye Guan remained silent.

The An Clan obviously wanted to get rid of all their troubles at once.

“Call your Dao Protector here!” An Ya shouted.

Her voice echoed throughout the silent valley filled with two million onlookers.

Ye Guan was about to speak, but a low rumble echoed as a rift in space was torn next to him. Moments later, a woman in a blood-red skirt slowly emerged from the rift.
