Chapter 190: Come, My Swords
Everyone stared blankly at Ye Guan.
It seemed that Ye Guan was more talented than the Sword Master. The onlookers’ hairs stood on end the moment they realized that Ye Guan was a Martial God as well.
The silence was palpable, and nothing could be heard aside from the faint breathing of the spectators.
The Head Military Official was overwhelmed by shock as he stared at Ye Guan. He truly didn’t expect that Ye Guan was a Martial God as well. It was something that he couldn’t even begin to imagine until now.
Ye Guan had surpassed the Sword Master’s talent by being a Martial God, even though he was already a Quasi-Great Sword Sovereign.
How incredible… The Head Military Official stared quietly at Ye Guan as millions of thoughts ran through his mind.
Meanwhile, Lu Tian’s supporters, as well as the Sword Sect and the representatives of the groups who had come here to support Ye Guan, went wild with their imaginations—Ye Guan’s talent was beyond outstanding.
Cao Bai shook his head and smiled bitterly. “He truly hid it well!”
The others nodded, and they soon quivered in excitement.
Chen Guanzi was silent as he stared at Ye Guan on the Life or Death Stage, but there was a subtle smile on his lips. Ye Guan’s revelation had greatly surprised him as well.
Meanwhile, the powerhouses of the Lingxu Blessed Land and Time Paradise looked like they were about to burst out into laughter. They had been holding in their anger while everyone called them stupid and foolish for supporting Ye Guan.
Who would dare to say that they were stupid at this point?
The Chosen One?
He paled in comparison to Ye Guan. Ye Guan obviously had the upper hand in this battle—no, he was completely thrashing the Chosen One.
So what if he was the Chosen One?
Meanwhile, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan members finally heaved a sigh of relief. Clan Leader Ao Sheng also felt like a heavy weight had been lifted off of his chest.
He and Ao Qianqian had been facing intense pressure after choosing to support Ye Guan. In addition to the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion, their clansmen were pressuring them as well.
If Ye Guan lost, the members of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan would rebel to kill both him and Ao Qianqian. After all, the majority of them wanted to support Lu Tian.
Ao Sheng sighed in relief after finding out that Ye Guan was a Martial God as well. It meant that even if Ye Guan lost, none of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan members could say that he and his daughter were foolish for choosing Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was both a Quasi-Great Sword Sovereign and a Martial God. He deserved the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan’s support.
Furthermore, Ye Guan was thrashing the Chosen One in the battle so far. The Ancient Heavenly Dragon clan members grinned one by one. They had to admit that Ye Guan was indeed better than Lu Tian.
Ye Guan glared at Lu Tian, obviously annoyed. However, he didn’t make a move.
He turned and glared at the demonic beast not too far away from him.
The demonic beast looked like a crimson lion, but it had two horns and a tail that was at least thirty inches long. The tip of the demonic tail was shaped like a spear, and it emitted a cold light capable of instilling fear in those daring enough to stare at it.
The demonic beast was none other than the Vicious Lion, one of the three vicious beasts of the Guanxuan Universe’s Demon Domain. The vicious beasts were even stronger than the four divine demonic beasts.
The Vicious Lion’s nose caved in upon taking the brunt of Ye Guan’s punch, and it was fuming. It glared hatefully at Ye Guan, looking as if it wanted to devour the latter whole.
However, Ye Guan was more furious than the Vicious Lion. He didn’t waste even a second as he vanished and reappeared in front of the Vicious Lion.
The Vicious Lion roared. It lowered its head and dashed toward Ye Guan with its horns pointing at the latter.
It was a vicious move befitting a vicious beast, but Ye Guan didn’t slow down at all. He was going to face the Vicious Lion head-on.
Ye Guan thrust his sword toward the Vicious Lion and unleashed fifteen swords.
Crackle!
The attack was so fierce and terrifying that the spacetime in a three-hundred-meter radius around Ye Guan was shattered.
BOOM!
The collision was no less fierce as both Ye Guan and the Vicious Lion were sent flying by the impact.
Ye Guan recovered after flying at least fifty meters. He looked up and saw that the area where his sword collided with the Vicious Lion’s horns was devastated. Blood dripped down the corner of his lips.
The Vicious Lion was extremely powerful. He barely managed to defend himself, even though he had become one with Ao Qianqian and was capable of displaying the same prowess as her.
Meanwhile, the Vicious Lion finally managed to stabilize itself.
The onlookers turned pale and were horrified to find that the Vicious Lion’s skull had cracked; evidently, Ye Guan managed to shatter its defenses.
The Vicious Lion was definitely an Immortal-rank demonic beast, but it actually lost to Ye Guan in a head-on confrontation. It was true that Ye Guan had established a contract with Ao Qianqian, but Lu Tian had formed contracts with four powerful demonic beasts.
If Ye Guan were in Lu Tian’s shoes… the thought alone frightened many people.
The impact stunned the Vicious Lion for quite a while, but it soon recovered and glared at Ye Guan. However, the hatefulness in its glare had gotten less intense, and it was no longer holding Ye Guan in contempt.
What a terrifying sword attack!
If it hadn’t been for its special defenses, it would have died just now!
It no longer dared to take Ye Guan lightly.
Lu Tian suddenly yelled, “Vicious Lion, hold him back for me!”
Lu Tian floated in the air, and the space around him quivered violently. A massive array appeared above his head. The runes were intricate and inscrutable, and the waves of energy they were emitting made the Life or Death Stage quiver.
The onlookers stared with bated breaths. Lu Tian was about to unleash a powerful move.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. The Zhuxie Flying Blades around him quivered as well.
The Vicious Lion roared, “Ancestors! Please help me!”
Boom!
A crimson light burst out of the Vicious Lion, and the light soon turned into crimson armor.
Ye Guan frowned. It actually has ancestors to call upon?
Ao Qianqian seemed to have seen through Ye Guan’s thoughts as she explained, “The powerful demonic beasts of powerful clans among the demon race are capable of calling upon their ancestors for help.
”Their ancestors would help them by strengthening their defenses.”
A stronger defense! Ye Guan frowned deeply. The defenses of demonic beasts were already much stronger than cultivators in the same cultivation realm as them. In other words, the Vicious Lion had just become a troublesome foe.
“I can also call upon my ancestors. Would you like me to?”
Ye Guan shook his head and said, “No need.”
He stomped and vanished. His target wasn’t the Vicious Lion but Lu Tian.
Lu Tian was channeling a powerful spell, and Ye Guan wanted to end Lu Tian’s life while the latter was channeling.
Shwing!
A dazzling sword light came streaking across the skies toward Lu Tian.
Swoosh!
The Divine Xuanwu abruptly appeared in front of Lu Tian. It roared angrily as it pushed both of its palms forward.
A golden tortoise shell appeared just as Ye Guan’s sword reached the Divine Xuanwu.
Boom!
The golden tortoise shell trembled violently, and it cracked.
Ye Guan’s eyes shone sinisterly as he brought down his sword once more.
Boom!
The golden tortoise shell split open and shattered into innumerable fragments that fell to the ground like rain.
Ye Guan ignored the injured Divine Xuanwu and dashed toward Lu Tian.
The Divine Xuanwu roared and grabbed Ye Guan’s foot, yanking the latter back.
Ye Guan was annoyed, and he thrust his sword toward the Divine Xuanwu.
Squelch!
The sword pierced the Divine Xuanwu’s head, and blood spurted out of the wound.
Ye Guan saw that and ignored the Divine Xuanwu once more. He turned toward Lu Tian and was about to charge toward Lu Tian when the desperate Divine Xuanwu roared once more and pounced on Ye Guan.
The Divine Xuanwu wanted to stop Ye Guan no matter what, and it succeeded. The Divine Xuanwu and Ye Guan crashed to the ground, and the collision kicked up a cloud of dust that clouded everyone’s vision.
However, Ye Guan’s vision was clear as he turned to the Divine Xuanwu. He opened his palm and revealed ten swords that made a beeline for the Divine Xuanwu’s head.
Squelch!
The Divine Xuanwu’s eyes widened.
Soon, it was drenched in its own blood, but it desperately stuck to Ye Guan.
Ye Guan glared at the stubborn Divine Xuanwu.
The Divine Xuanwu looked at Lu Tian and said weakly, “Chosen One, you promised my clan… you promised to support us. You must keep your word.”
The Divine Xuanwu went silent as a horrifying aura seeped out of it.
It was about to self-destruct.
Ye Guan’s expression fell. He vanished and reappeared at least a hundred meters away, but the powerful explosion still struck him.
Boom!
Ye Guan was forced to retreat another hundred meters away. Soon, he finally stopped retreating and saw that the explosion just now had annihilated the spacetime in a hundred-and-fifty radius around the Divine Xuanwu.
The spacetime quickly recovered, but the onlookers were still reeling in shock. They truly didn’t expect that the Divine Xuanwu would self-destruct for the sake of holding Ye Guan back.
Meanwhile, the Vicious Lion appeared in front of Ye Guan. It had to stop Ye Guan at all costs!
Ye Guan wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
“Qianqian, are you alright?” he asked.
A few moments later, Ao Qianqian chuckled and replied, “I’m fine. What can happen to me?”
Ye Guan nodded before looking up at Lu Taan.
A terrifying aura had gathered above his head. Everyone on Trial Peak felt a powerful oppressive force boring down on him, and they all started thinking about just what kind of spell Lu Tian was about to unleash.
Nanling Yiyi suddenly cried out, “It is a forbidden spell!
A forbidden spell! Chen Guanzi frowned and asked, “Is that so?”
Nanling Yiyi frantically nodded. Her voice was trembling as she said, “Yes! I’m sure that’s one of the ten forbidden spells—Devastation of Dao!”
Nanling Yiyi also had a copy of the Devastation of Dao’s divine spell book. It was indeed one of the ten forbidden spells.
Chen Guanzi’s expression turned ashen.
Cao Bai asked him, “Senior Brother, how strong is a forbidden spell?”
Chen Guanzi explained, “The divine spell books containing forbidden spells were put together by Great Daoist Brush Master. During the Xuzhen Great War, the Divine Mages from the Guanxuan Universe used such forbidden spells to kill over a hundred thousand Divine Spirits.”
Chen Guanzi turned to stare at Lu Tian in surprise.
“Back then, even Imperial Realm Divine Mages struggled to even comprehend such powerful spells, but he…” Chen Guanzi trailed off.
The expressions of the swordsmen around Chen Guanzi turned heavy, and they stared worriedly at Ye Guan. Nanling Yiyi clenched her fists until her nails dug into her palms. She was a Divine Mage, so she understood a forbidden spell’s might.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan stared quietly at Lu Tian.
Lu Tian was almost done channeling, and Ye Guan could no longer stop him.
Lu Tian raised his hands, and the space above him split open. Innumerable Great Dao runes emerged from the massive rift in space, and they orbited Lu Tian.
The entire Trial Peak quivered violently, and cracks appeared even in the distant mountains as the world itself seemed to be trembling beneath a forbidden spell’s might.
The onlookers were terrified and dumbstruck.
Meanwhile, the powerhouses of the Guanxuan Academy worked desperately to mend the surrounding spacetime, but the Trial Peak was still struggling to remain in one piece beneath the cataclysmic attack.
Lu Tian gazed down at Ye Guan and said, “I’ll send you on your way.”
Boom!
The mysterious, inscrutable runes turned into a beam of crimson light that shot toward Ye Guan.
Crack!
Cracks spread throughout Trial Peak, frightening many people.
The Head Military Official smiled in satisfaction. It’s over. He has cast a forbidden spell!
It seemed Ye Guan had no choice but to surrender to Lu Tian.
However, Ye Guan confidently stepped forward.
Shwaaa!
An extremely powerful sword force gushed out of him, revealing his status as a true Great Sword Sovereign.
Ye Guan spread his arms and roared, “Come, my swords!”
Hum!
The resonant hum of a million swords abruptly pervaded the Guanxuan Academy as a million swords emerged from the Sword Tomb and flew toward Trial Peak.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with a million swords, flabbergasting Lu Tian’s supporters, Ye Guan’s supporters, and those who had come here to enjoy the fight.
