I Have A Sword

Chapter 246: Can Die But Cannot Lose!

Chapter 246: Can Die But Cannot Lose!

The figure belonged to none other than Ye Qing. He was sent flying several hundred meters away, and he left a trail of lightning and flames as he flew, which created a frightening sight.

Cao Bai and the others turned solemn as they turned to look at the sword-wielding young man clad in purple. The young man was horrifyingly powerful.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing was still in mid-air when Rong Ruo slashed out with his sword.

“Die!” roared Rong Ruo.

Boom!

The sword seemed to have split the world into two as it made a beeline for Ye Qing. A lightning imprint appeared between Ye Qing’s glabella, and he kicked off of the empty air.

Crackle!

A lightning bolt exploded beneath his feet, sending him flying toward Rong Ruo.

Once again, he remained steadfast and didn’t retreat. He was going to meet Rong Ruo’s attack midway.

Rong Ruo was extremely powerful, but Ye Qing knew that if he were to retreat at this critical juncture, the other Divine Spirits would deem him weak. Moreover, Rong Ruo would become extremely powerful in the eyes of the Guanxuan Universe’s talents.

To make matters worse, Rong Ruo would easily destroy him if he were to retreat.

Hence, he chose to fight.

Everyone watched as the lightning clashed with the sword.

Kaboom!

Lightning crackled and pervaded the battlefield. The collision produced a powerful shockwave that swept across the battlefield, and it forced both Ye Qing and Rong Ruo away.

When they finally found their footing, they discovered that they were over a kilometer away from each other.

Rong Ruo was still holding his sword tightly in his right hand as his figure exuded a powerful sword energy and a dazzling sword light. The collision earlier made the space around them tremble violently as if it had become liquid.

Ye Qing was like a lightning god as lightning danced about him. His aura wasn’t as fierce as Rong Ruo's aura, but it was like a boundless ocean, making the spacetime around him swell similar to the waves in the ocean.

The Divine Spirits wore pensive looks as they stared at Ye Qing. They didn’t expect that Ye Qing would be strong enough to actually match up to Rong Ruo.

The Guanxuan Universe had always been resisting the True Universe, but the younger generation of the True Universe had always looked down on the younger generation of the Guanxuan Universe.

The True Universe’s younger generation had always remained victorious whenever the younger generation talents from both sides fought each other, so the young Divine Spirits were truly surprised to learn that the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation was much stronger than they thought.

Meanwhile, Rong Ruo stared deeply at Ye Qing. His eyes shone with delight and a desire to fight. It would have been too boring if the younger generation of the Guanxuan Universe were too weak. Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be the case.

“Die!” Rong Ruo roared and made a beeline for Ye Qing.

Crack!

The echoes of his voice could still be heard, but the spacetime in front of Ye Qing had already split open, spitting out a sword.

This sword was extremely fast, and it reached Ye Qing in the blink of an eye.

However, Ye Qing was prepared. He clenched his fists, and the lightning imprint from his glabella flew out and struck the sword.

Boom!

The resulting explosion was so powerful that both Ye Qing and Rong Ruo were sent flying several kilometers away. Everything between them had cracked, looking like they would crumble anytime soon.

Blood trickled down the corner of Ye Qing’s mouth, and his arms were a mangled mess.

Blood also dripped down Rong Ruo’s lips. Clearly, their exchange just now left the two of them with injuries. Rong Ruo wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled at Ye Qing before disappearing once more.

Swoosh!

Rong Ruo left only afterimages as he rushed toward Ye Qing from afar.

Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed. He put his palms together, and the projection of a giant lightning god appeared above his head. The projection seemed to be about a kilometer tall, and it roared furiously before sending a punch toward Rong Ruo.

Boom!

Lightning converged on the lightning god as its fist streaked across the skies. The surrounding spacetime throbbed powerfully before shattering into innumerable light crystals.

Rong Ruo’s sword light shattered, and he was sent flying at least several hundred meters away.

The expressions of the Divine Spirits turned solemn at the sight.

Ye Qing suddenly hollered, “Die!”

Boom!

The lightning god roared as it swung both of its arms at Rong Ruo.

Kaboom!

Lightning shot out from the lightning god projection. The battlefield was instantly transformed into a sea of lightning that threatened to drown Rong Ruo beneath its tumultuous waves.

The Divine Spirits felt their organs shift, and their hearts were stuck in their throats.

They glared defiantly at the sea of lightning.

Swoosh!

A dazzling sword light emerged from the sea of lightning.

Rong Ruo flew behind the dazzling sword light. Upon emerging from the sea of lightning, he turned and slashed out a few times with his sword. His powerful sword energy lacerated the sea of lightning and tore it apart.

Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed. He spread his arms, and a star imprint appeared on his right hand. A flame imprint appeared on his left hand, while six different imprints appeared simultaneously on his forehead.

The onlookers’ grew solemn at the sight.

Law imprints! The law imprints Ye Qing had been carrying weren’t the imprints of ordinary Laws. They were the Nine Dao Laws that the Great Daoist Brush Master had created himself, and they all represented the world’s nine order of forces.

Rong Ruo closed his eyes slowly and gripped his sword tightly.

His figure blurred, seemingly turning ephemeral.

“That’s his famous move—A Thousand Dreams!” exclaimed a Divine Spirit.

Rong Ruo vanished when the Divine Spirit’s voice fell.

Boom!

The spacetime in the four cardinal directions around Rong Ruo simultaneously exploded as a four-kilometer-tall sword manifested and inundated everything around Rong Ruo.

Ye Qing’s pupils constricted, and he clenched his fists. The giant lightning god projection roared and clenched its fists as well before sending a flurry of punches toward the oncoming four-kilometer-tall sword.

Hundreds of thousands of lightning bolts cascaded toward the four-kilometer-tall sword.

Rumble!

A deluge of sword energy burst out of Rong Ruo and headed for Ye Qing.

The skies above the Xuzhen Battlefield were filled with nothing but deafening explosions. A beam of sword light would crumble into innumerable light particles with every explosion, creating an awe-inspiring but terrifying sight.

The explosions lasted for an hour, and the lightning god projection above Ye Qing became more and more blurry as time went on.

The expressions of the Guanxuan Universe youngsters turned solemn.

“Die!” Rong Ruo roared fiercely. A ray of sword light plummeted toward the giant lightning god projection, shattering it into pieces.

Boom!

Following a cataclysmic explosion, a figure could be seen retreating in a hurry.

The figure belonged to Ye Qing. Unfortunately, Rong Ruo seemed like he had no plans of letting Ye Qing go as he dashed toward the latter

Ye Qing’s expression stiffened, and he kicked off the ground with his right leg.

A spacetime law imprint appeared on his glabella, and the spacetime in front of him shattered. A thought was all it took for him to destroy spacetime, and it was all thanks to the spacetime law imprint.

Kaboom!

The battlefield trembled as the two retreated from each other.

The spacetime above the Xuzhen Battlefield was crumbling, and the entire battlefield was in chaos as fragments of spacetime and sword energy rained down on the spectators.

When Ye Qing and Rong Ruo finally found their footing, blood flowed down the corners of their mouths at the same time. Their faces were as white as a sheet of paper, and a lot more blood poured out of their mouths this time.

Rong Ruo threw away the sword sheath that he was holding in his left hand.

He raised his left hand and sliced his palm.

Blood flowed out of the wound, and his blood disappeared into his sword.

He had fed blood to his sword!

Cao Bai and the spectating swordsmen stared with solemn looks.

Rong Ruo’s sword turned crimson as his sword devoured his blood. He looked up at Ye Qing and exclaimed, “Again!”

Ye Qing boisterously laughed and exclaimed, “Sure!”

Rong Ruo nodded and stepped out. A horrifying sword force surged out of him and enveloped the skies before turning into a dome that stretched out for more than a kilometer.

A Sword Domain!

Rong Ruo stepped out once more, and a monstrous sword energy descended on Ye Qing.

Ye Qing’s pupils constricted, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Rong Ruo stepped out and muttered, “Return to silence…”

A crimson light flashed in front of Ye Qing. It was Rong Ruo’s sword.

Ye Qing roared, “Door of Laws!”

Boom!

The Nine Dao Laws burst out of Ye Guan and shot to the skies, creating a door above his head. Moments later, Nine Dao Laws flooded out of the Door of Laws.

A battle of epic proportions was about to begin.

Crack!

The surrounding one kilometer of spacetime fractured, and Rong Ruo’s sword lights exploded into a myriad of light crystals. Astonishingly, however, the Nine Dao Laws had burst open as well!

Boom!

The two were sent flying backward from the collision, and their fleshly bodies disintegrated in mid-air. Their souls even started to fade at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The Divine Spirits were stunned. A divine spirit wanted to step out and save Rong Ruo, but Rong Ruo raised a hand to stop the former.

Ye Qing also stopped those who wanted to save him from his side.

Rong Ruo landed and held his sword tightly.

He closed his eyes. His fleshly body had perished, so he was in his soul form. His soul was still fading away, but it had slowed down considerably.

Ye Qing closed his eyes, and his soul’s deterioration rate slowed down significantly as well.

The two were like candles in the middle of a storm.

Rong Ruo stared intently at Ye Qing and roared, “Burn!”

Shwaaa!

Rong Ruo’s figure shone fiercely as he burned. He still wanted to fight!

The onlookers were stupefied.

Rong Ruo’s aura surged crazily.

He wanted to win so badly that he had decided to burn his soul! He could die, but he couldn’t afford to lose against the Guanxuan Universe.

Ye Qing’s eyes shot wide open. He glared sinisterly at Rong Ruo and roared, “Burn!”

Shwaaa!

Ye Qing’s figure shone brightly in the same manner.

Ye Qing had the same sentiment as Rong Ruo.

He was willing to die, but he wasn’t willing to lose.

The two had chosen to greet Death themselves!
