Chapter 109: Who Do You Think You Are?

The onlookers stared at the young man standing a few meters above Ye Guan. The young man's hair and eyebrows were silver. He seemed ordinary with his bright-colored robe and plain shoes. He stared at Ye Guan with a faint smile.

The onlookers were thrilled to see him. He was the Chosen One. He was destined to become the strongest cultivator of the current generation. The Chosen One was more popular than Ye Guan, despite his status as a Sword Sovereign. After all, the almighty Sword Master was the Chosen One of his generation.

There had never been another Chosen One after the Sword Master until the current generation, and the Chosen Ones had always ushered in a new era. In other words, did that mean that a new era was about to begin?

Ye Guan turned to look at the Chosen One.

The young man smiled and was about to speak.

Slice!

However, Ye Guan abruptly moved and severed An Daoxin’s head before annihilating her soul. Blood spurted out in all directions, and the smile on the Chosen One’s lips froze. The onlookers’ expressions turned grim.

Is he challenging the Chosen One?

Ye Guan’s sword disappeared. He turned toward the Chosen One and said calmly, “My apologies, but I do not wish to let my enemies go for your sake.”

What?!

The onlookers erupted into whispers. They didn’t expect Ye Guan to challenge the Chosen One. Is he dumb? No, he’s definitely not dumb. However, he’s a swordsman! Swordsmen had always been stubborn since time immemorial.

The gazes of the onlookers heated up.

The Chosen One? Who cares?! I won’t give you any special treatment.

Ji Xuan smiled slightly as she stared at Ye Guan.

She really liked Ye Guan’s personality. Confident, calm, and bold!

If Ye Guan had given in, she would have looked down on him.

Ye Qing’s respect for Ye Guan also grew stronger. Ye Qing reckoned that he would have hesitated if he were in Ye Guan’s shoes. After all, the silver-haired young man was the Chosen One of the current generation.

The story about how the Sword Master had suppressed the two Martial Goddesses of the An Clan was still relatively popular, and a Chosen One finally appeared after so many years.

The Chosen One’s advent most likely meant that there would soon be a new era, and that was exactly why Ye Qing knew that he would hesitate to disobey the Chosen One.

However, Ye Guan didn’t hesitate at all. The Chosen One? So what?

The Chosen One stared at Ye Guan with a stiff smile.

On the contrary, Ye Guan remained calm.

The Chosen One smiled and said, “Young Master Ye, don’t you think you’re a bit too ruthless?”

Ye Guan scoffed, “Where were you, and what were you doing while the An Clan was bullying me? Have you told them that they’re a bit too ruthless while bullying me?”

The Chosen One wordlessly stared at Ye Guan.

“No! You didn’t speak up for me at all, and now you’re saying that I’m a bit too ruthless for trying to kill them?” Ye Guan shook his head and smiled before saying, “Pardon me for being straightforward, but who do you think you are? Why should I obey you?”

The onlookers reeled in shock. Ye Guan was definitely challenging the Chosen One, but they started to admire him in their hearts. Ye Guan was indeed bold.

Dongli Mo was startled by Ye Guan’s words, and he finally understood why there were so few swordsmen in the world. If every swordsman were like Ye Guan, it wouldn’t be strange for them to die early.

The Chosen One looked at Ye Guan and smirked. “Do you think you’re invincible just because you’re a Sword Sovereign?”

“Why are you talking too much?” Ye Guan grinned and pointed at An Daoxin’s corpse before saying, “I killed her. Unhappy? Fight me!”

A fight! Ye Guan had openly challenged the Chosen One. The onlookers boiled over in excitement, and quite a few onlookers started shouting.

“Fight him if you’re unhappy about it!”

“Fight him!”

The combined volume of their voices seemed like it was capable of filling up the skies.

The onlookers were eager to fan the flames to witness an exciting fight. After all, they weren’t the ones who were on the battlefield. In addition, the thought of a monstrous young talent against the Chosen One was exciting enough for them to fan the flames.

Ye Guan’s heart also burned in eagerness.

You bastard! Why did you not step out and call the An Clan out for being a bit too ruthless while they were still chasing after me? I only killed a single core member of the An Clan, and you’re saying that I’m a bit too ruthless? The Chosen One? Fuck you!

The Chosen One’s eyes narrowed. He stepped forward and said, “Since Young Master Ye is so keen on fighting, it’ll be rude for me not to indulge you. Let us fight, then!”

The onlookers’ excitement reached the moon. They’re going to fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ji Xuan made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan, feeling slightly worried. Ye Qing also looked concerned, and he decided to talk to the mysterious voice in his head. “Master, will Brother Ye Guan be okay?”

The Chosen One wasn’t like An Daoxin, he was truly the Chosen One.

An Daoxin?wasn’t even a Martial Goddess, so she couldn’t be compared to the Chosen One at all.

The mysterious voice responded, “Do you know why the Chosen One of the previous generation was unparalleled?”

“Why?” asked Ye Qing

The mysterious voice said calmly, “Because he wasn’t just the Chosen One, he was destiny himself…”

Ye Qing was confused. Aren’t they the same thing?[1]

However, Ye Qing’s master didn’t explain anything. Unbeknownst to Ye Qing, those daring enough to suppress Ye Guan with their power and background had all met horrible fates. In other words, Ye Guan was a terrifying existence to offend.

Meanwhile, the Chosen One spread his arms open and smiled.

“Come, give me a taste of a Sword Sovereign’s might!” he shouted and opened his palm, revealing a black-colored seal that shot into the skies.

Boom!

The skies quivered, and mystical golden runes enveloped the skies above the tournament square.

The onlookers were astonished. What Divine Magic is that?

Meanwhile, Ye Guan stepped forward and reappeared in front of the Chosen One. He thrust forward, but his expression changed. His sword had inexplicably slowed down, and it was becoming even slower at every passing second.

Ye Guan was being suppressed!

The Chosen One raised his hands slightly, and the air quivered as a horrifying energy struck Ye Guan’s sword.

Boom!

Ye Guan was sent flying. However, the Chosen One wasn’t done just yet. The air in front of him distorted and turned into barely visible waves that chased after the flying Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s expression turned grim. The waves of air looked distorted because the surrounding air was under immense pressure, specifically sixty times more than normal. Ye Guan would have already exploded into a bloody mist earlier if he hadn’t tempered his physique using the Immortal Treasures Pavilion’s spacetime gravity room.

Ye Guan could move normally despite the immense pressure, but his sword was different. In other words, the Chosen One had neutralized his specialty—speed.

The Chosen One’s eyes narrowed upon seeing that Ye Guan was capable of withstanding such a heavy spacetime gravity.

“It seems that I’ve underestimated you,” he said, sounding slightly surprised.

Moments later, he performed a few hand signs while chanting in an ancient, inscrutable language. Once he was done, he pointed at Ye Guan and shouted, “Divine Fire!”

Shwaaa!

A ball of fire appeared from out of nowhere, instantly raising the temperature in the vicinity. The fire was so hot and fierce that space itself seemed to be melting under its heat.

Ye Guan’s expression changed. He took a step forward, and a burst of energy exploded from him.

Space Annihilation Realm! He had broken through the wall between the Space Shattering Realm and the Space Annihilation Realm with just a single step.

However, his breakthrough dumbfounded everyone. Wait, he was just a Space Shattering Realm cultivator? A Sword Sovereign was just a Space Shattering Realm cultivator until now?

They couldn’t believe their eyes. It was simply too absurd for Ye Guan to have been a mere Space Shattering Realm cultivator despite his impressive achievement in the Sword Dao.

Ye Guan created a sword out of sword energy and sliced the heavy air in front of him.

Boom!

There was a loud explosion as the air exploded under the immense pressure. Ye Guan recovered his speed and dodged the ball of fire before making a beeline for the Chosen One.

He thrust his sword toward the Chosen One’s forehead.

Clang!

An inscrutable sound echoed.

Ye Guan’s sword was only a few inches away from the Chosen One’s forehead when a mysterious rune appeared and blocked his sword.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. The ball of fire was still around, so the air was still too hot for him to breathe properly.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan dodged the ball of fire and retreated, but he failed to escape unscathed.

His clothes had disintegrated under the heat, and his skin was scorched.

He would have been reduced to ashes if he had retreated even a beat slower.

Ye Guan paused and stared at the Chosen One. A ball of fire was orbiting the Chosen One, and a mysterious rune was floating in front of him. The rune rotated slowly while giving off an ancient and mysterious feel.

The black-colored divine seal was still suspended in mid-air, along with the mystical golden runes. Ye Guan had no idea what purpose they served nor when the Chosen One would use them.

Ye Guan fell silent. Both he and the Chosen One had exchanged only a few moves so far, but Ye Guan had already discovered that he had a weakness that had to be resolved sooner rather than later. He didn’t have enough profound energy.

His attacks as a Sword Sovereign were powerful, but they consumed a ton of profound energy.

It had never really been an issue until now because he was strong enough to kill his enemies in one move. However, it was a lethal weakness against a true powerhouse. A true powerhouse would definitely notice and take advantage of such a weakness.

Ye Guan had broken through the wall between the Space Shattering Realm and the Space Annihilation Realm, but his profound energy reserves were still insufficient for a long-drawn-out battle. In other words, he had to end this quickly.

The Chosen One smiled at Ye Guan and asked. “Is that it? Is that all a Space Annihilation Realm Sword Sovereign can do?”

Ye Guan didn’t bother to respond to the Chosen One’s nonsense.

A dazzling light pervaded the tournament square, and the mysterious rune floating in front of the Chosen One vanished in response. It moved even faster than Ye Guan’s sword as it moved and aimed to stop Ye Guan’s sword dead in its tracks.

Rumble!

However, Ye Guan’s sword inexplicably vanished. Ye Guan shattered the rules of spacetime and traveled through space to avoid the mysterious rune!

The Chosen One’s eyes narrowed. He was about to make a move, but Ye Guan’s sword was already in front of him.

Ye Guan’s sword dug into the Chosen One’s forehead, but Ye Guan’s expression abruptly changed.

He let go of his sword and retreated as fast as possible.
