Chapter 132: A Divine Mage and A Swordsman!
Ye Guan had made the first move!
Lu Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and his expression fell. Ye Guan’s cultivation base was significantly lower compared to his, but Ye Guan was a Sword Sovereign—no, a Quasi-Great Sword Sovereign! No one was daring enough to underestimate him.
In addition, Ye Guan’s sword was most likely a Divine-grade weapon as well. In other words, Ye Guan’s sword attacks were lethal, considering how speedy his attacks were and how they could break spacetime rules.
Ye Guan was aware that he had to make the first move. If the enemies made the first move, he would be instantly suppressed. With that thought in mind, Ye Guan decided to unleash a killing move as his opening move.
Lu Xuan was standing pretty close to Ye Guan, so Lu Xuan was startled by the sudden attack. He didn’t dare to be negligent as he clenched his fists and unleashed a dull red bolt of lightning.
Slash!
Ye Guan’s Path Sword easily slashed the bolt of lightning into two.
Lu Xuan’s face changed. He tried to retreat, but it was still a little too late.
Slice!
Lu Xuan’s arm went flying out under everyone’s gazes, and blood haphazardly spurted out from the stump and into the air.
Ye Guan wanted to continue attacking, but a fireball and a wind blade flew toward him. Ye Guan whipped around and slashed out with the Path Sword.
Slice! Slice!
The fireball and the wind blade were torn apart.
Ye Guan stomped with his right foot and turned into a ray of sword light that rushed toward Lu Xuan. He had shattered the rules of spacetime once more to narrow the distance between him and Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan’s pupils constricted.
He didn’t dare to go against Ye Guan’s sword attack with one hand, so he frantically retreated. However, Ye Guan was simply too fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
Rumble!
An inexplicable scene unfolded as the space around Ye Guan was slowed down.
Ye Guan’s movement speed was significantly reduced by the abrupt change.
Boom!
A mysterious wave of energy struck Ye Guan from all cardinal directions. The wave of energy was so strong that Ye Guan was sent flying more than thirty meters away from Lu Xuan.
When Ye Guan finally landed, blood trickled down the corners of his lips. He turned to the attacker and saw a white-haired woman clad in a long green robe. A zither was right in front of her.
She was a Divine Mage—a Sky Realm Divine Mage, at the very least.
Lu Xuan’s face was filled with horror as he stared at the sword in Ye Guan’s hands.
Ye Guan had almost taken his life in an instant. The shock was so great that Lu Xuan found it difficult to recover from it.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan abruptly vanished.
The white-haired woman frowned slightly and plucked the strings of her zither.
Boom!
A phoenix covered in flames emerged from the zither. The flames around it seemed capable of melting even space. However, the phoenix was torn apart by Ye Guan’s sword.
The Path Sword continued on its way to the white-haired woman, but she turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
Ye Guan turned and saw that the white-haired woman was hundreds of meters away from him on the right.
The white-haired woman glared at Ye Guan and shouted, “Don’t let him come near me!”
She was obviously afraid of Ye Guan’s sword.
The Seal Shattering Realm cultivators stood in front of the white-haired woman. At the same time, the Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators rushed toward Ye Guan.
A cacophony of noises and a kaleidoscope of lights erupted between heaven and earth!
The white-haired woman plucked the strings of her zither, and the space around Ye Guan was compressed layer by layer. A terrifying spacetime gravity bored down on Ye Guan, suppressing his speed.
Ye Guan frowned. He didn’t care about the Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators; his eyes were unwittingly transfixed on the white-haired woman.
The Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators were here; they were only a few meters away from Ye Guan, but…
Boom!
Ye Guan broke through all restraints with the Path Sword and reappeared in front of the white-haired woman.
The two Seal Shattering Realm cultivators in front of her seemed to have expected this to happen, as their reactions were pretty quick, considering Ye Guan’s speed.
One of them turned into a ball of flames that made a beeline for Ye Guan, while the other pointed at Ye Guan and sent a multitudinous number of wind blades flying toward the latter.
Seal Shattering Realm cultivators were capable of tapping into the energy of Heaven and Earth to create catastrophic forces of nature.
A terrifying sight was unfolding in front of Ye Guan, but his eyes remained resolute and fierce. He flew even faster rather than retreat.
Rip!
Ye Guan tore through the ball of flames and the wind blades.
The two Seal Shattering Realm cultivators frowned, but they didn’t dare to stand in Ye Guan’s way. They watched as Ye Guan slashed at the white-haired woman.
The white-haired woman frantically plucked the strings of her zither. The space in front of her split open, and an illusory hand reached out, seemingly to grab something.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of energy enveloped Ye Guan.
The white-haired woman plucked her zither even faster, creating sound waves that flew toward Ye Guan like a violent storm.
“Die!” A furious roar echoed, and the illusory hand was shattered.
A ray of sword light streaked across the skies toward the white-haired woman.
The white-haired woman narrowed her eyes, and she disappeared once more, leaving behind nothing but a wisp of smoke.
Ye Guan’s attack struck nothing but air.
Meanwhile, the white-haired woman reappeared a few hundred meters away.
She had just reappeared, but a sword light was already flying toward her.
Royal Sword Art!
The white-haired woman slapped the zither with her right hand, and a sword appeared in the air in front of her. The white-haired woman snatched the sword from out of mid-air before she slashed out.
Clang!
The white-haired woman deflected Ye Guan’s sword with her own, astonishing the onlookers.
“I recognize her now!” an onlooker shouted, “She’s Representative Mu Youyou, and she wields both Divine Magic and the sword!”
Representative Mu of Qingzhou’s Guanxuan Academy. She was both a Divine Mage and a half-step Sword Sovereign.
She was inferior to Ye Guan when it came to the sword, but she was capable of standing toe-to-toe against Ye Guan by using her prowess as a Divine Mage to bolster her power.
She was a legendary figure in Qingzhou. The Main Guanxuan Academy’s Sword Sect had once attempted to recruit her, but she turned down the Sword Sect’s offer for some unknown reason.
She had inexplicably vanished from the eyes of the public many years ago, so the onlookers were surprised to see her return and fight against Ye Guan!
Ye Guan wordlessly stared at Mu Youyou. He looked indifferent, but he was inwardly astonished. After all, Mu Youyou wasn’t just a Divine Mage but a swordsman as well. He had to admit that her achievements were pretty impressive.
Mu Youyou sat down.
She put her sword down next to her and started playing the zither.
The melody was calm, reminiscent of flowing water and was like a gentle breeze.
However, its effects couldn’t be further from calm as the space around Ye Guan distorted.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, but Mu Youyou wasn’t done just yet. She changed the tempo, and the melody now sounded anxious and intense, like a raging thunderstorm.
Boom!
The space around Ye Guan finally collapsed, but Ye Guan vanished at the same time.? He unleashed another sword move, but his target wasn’t Mu Youyou but the Seal Shattering Realm cultivators defending her.
One of the two Seal Shattering Realm cultivators didn’t expect to become the target of Ye Guan’s swords. Taken aback, he tried to attack, but Ye Guan’s sword was already in front of him.
Left with no choice, the Seal Shattering Realm cultivator hurriedly put up an Immortal-grade shield to defend himself.
Slash!
Ye Guan’s Path Sword tore the shield apart, and there was a flash of sword light as the old man’s head flew into the air under everyone’s gazes.
Ye Guan had just beheaded a Seal Shattering Realm cultivator, but he was already on his way to kill the other one.
The face of the other Seal Shattering Realm cultivator changed. He tried to retreat, but Ye Guan was too fast.
The world seemed to have slowed down as Ye Guan’s sword was now a few inches away from him. The Seal Shattering Realm cultivator’s heart was gripped by extreme fear.
Ye Guan’s sword was truly terrifying. He would die if he dared to face Ye Guan’s sword head-on, but he also couldn’t escape because he was slower than Ye Guan.
There was no way out!
Rumble!
.
The zither let out a powerful noise before spitting out a flame sound wave toward Ye Guan. Mu Youyou had decided to attack Ye Guan while he was distracted by someone else.
Ye Guan was now in a dilemma. He could either turn around to face the oncoming flame sound wave, or he could kill the Seal Shattering Realm cultivator in front of him.
Ye Guan chose not to turn around.
Shiwk!
The Path Sword pierced the Seal Shattering Realm cultivator’s head. At the same time, Ye Guan used the Royal Sword Art to stop the oncoming flame sound wave, but his sword energy was indeed too weak to stop the flame sound wave.
Boom!
Ye Guan was sent flying outwards away with his back on fire. Upon landing, he immediately extinguished the flame with his sword force, but the damage was already done. His back was both mangled and scorched.
Ye Guan turned around and stared deeply at the white-haired woman before taking out a spiritual pill and swallowing it. A green aura enveloped his back, and his wound healed slowly.
Ye Guan swallowed another spiritual pill.
The white-haired woman couldn’t hide the shock in her eyes as she stared at Ye Guan.
She truly didn’t expect to see Ye Guan killing two people under her watch despite her restraining spells.
It’s that sword! The white-haired woman’s gaze landed on Ye Guan’s sword. Ye Guan was strong, but there was no way he could have easily killed Seal Shattering Realm cultivators without the strange sword in his hand.
It was an invincible sword!
Meanwhile, Ye Guan gripped his sword tightly and slowly walked toward Mu Youyou.
Academy Chief Lu Xuan’s face changed, and he yelled, “Protect the Student Representative!”
The powerhouses of Qingzhou’s Guanxuan Academy Academy immediately surrounded Mu Youyou, creating what seemed like an iron fortress.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan abruptly vanished.
Everyone’s faces fell.
They were about to make a move, but Ye Guan’s action stunned them.
Ye Guan’s target wasn’t Mu Youyou but the Guanxuan Academy.
He flew straight toward the Guanxuan Academy.
They were outraged. Fuck! It was a feint!
