I Have A Sword

Chapter 255: Die Together!

Chapter 255: Die Together!

The Divine Spirits were furious upon hearing Ye Guan’s words.

Is he looking down on the True Universe? Fighting the first placer on the True Martial List… just who does he think he is?

Ye Qing and the others frowned. They felt that something was wrong.

It was weird how Ye Guan still wanted to fight, and it seemed that he was prepared to fight every Divine Spirit all by himself.

Ye Qing’s face fell.

It wasn’t that difficult to deduce Ye Guan’s thoughts. Ye Guan didn’t want them to fight the talented Divine Spirits. After all, the younger generation of Guanxuan Universe paled in comparison to the talented younger generation of the True Universe.

To make matters worse, every match would end in a casualty. If a True Universe talent survived, it meant that a young talent of the Guanxuan Universe had died.

Ye Qing walked up to Ye Guan and said, “Brother Ye Guan, let me fight the next one.”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that.”

Ye Qing wanted to say something when Ye Guan smiled and added, “I can do it.”

Ye Qing muttered, “Brother Ye Guan, we know what you want, but…”

Ye Guan shook his head and said, “No buts. I can fight, so let me do it. It’s that simple.”

Ye Qing was silent.

Ye Guan smiled. “You can step up once I lose.”

Ye Qing’s expression was complicated. He wanted to say something when a male Divine Spirit walked up to Heng Shanwu. He was about to take Heng Shanwu’s corpse when Ye Guan warned, “Touch him, and you’ll die.”

The Divine Spirit turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan spat indifferently, “Get lost.”

The Divine Spirit was furious, and he said, “Ye Guan, you’ve won against him, but don’t you think you should give him some respect, even though he lost?”

Ye Guan stared intently at the Divine Spirit and said, “I heard that the corpses of those who have perished in the Heavenly Garrison are still hanging from the stone pillars there. Is it true?”

The Divine Spirit’s expression turned ugly.

“Did you give them even an ounce of respect?” asked Ye Guan.

“That is that; this is this,” the Divine Spirit argued, “We—”

Ye Guan abruptly vanished.

Swoosh!

The male Divine Spirit’s head flew into the air, and blood haphazardly spurted out of the headless stump.

The other Divine Spirits got even more furious at the sight. They were about to attack Ye Guan, but Ye Guan swept his gaze across them and snorted before saying, ”Can’t defeat me one-on-one, so you’re trying to gang up on me now?”

The Divine Spirits’ expression turned hideous. They felt as if there were dirt in their lungs that they couldn’t cough out.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the golden spacetime tunnel.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman walking out of the golden spacetime tunnel.

The woman was wearing a simple dress with flowers and clouds embroidered on it. Her long hair was casually let down behind her and was tied with a simple ribbon. She looked to be about eighteen years old. Her features were beautiful, but her aura was so cold she appeared as though she were a block of ice.

“Yu Yichao!” exclaimed a Divine Spirit.

Yu Yichao was ranked eighth on the True Martial List.

Yu Yichao slowly walked up to Ye Guan.

She stared at him before pointing at Heng Shanwu’s corpse.

“Can you move that away?” she asked.

Ye Guan shouted, “Men!”

Two old men abruptly appeared and dragged Heng Shanwu’s body away.

Yu Yichao’s gaze landed on Ye Guan, and she said, “Please.”

Yu Yichao opened her right palm. Strange red scriptures filled the space a kilometer around Yu Yichao. The spacetime trembled violently when the red scriptures appeared, and crimson lightning could be seen from within the red scriptures.

Soon, multiple crimson bolts of lightning shot toward Ye Guan.

Boom!

Every lightning contained an immense power, and it was one of Yu Yichao’s biggest moves. Clearly, she didn’t dare to underestimate Ye Guan.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan vanished, and a sword light flashed in front of Yu Yichao.

The sword attack was as fast as lightning, but Yu Yichao was already gone by the time Ye Guan reached where she once stood. At the same time, quite a few crimson lightning bolts made a beeline for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He opened his palm, and multiple strands of sword energy surged out of his palm. The strands of sword energy turned into sword lights that sliced the crimson lightning bolts apart.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The onlookers watched as the sword lights split every crimson lightning bolt that came their way. The sword lights seemed invincible, but it failed to split every crimson lightning bolt into two.

Ye Guan looked up and saw Yu Yichao a hundred meters away from him. Yu Yichao opened her palm and brought it down as if it were a sword.

Bam!

Thunder boomed, and lightning flashed as a kilometer-long divine lightning made a beeline for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan stomped with his right foot and transformed into a beam of sword light that took to the skies. In the blink of an eye, Ye Guan reached Yu Yichao, but his sword struck nothing but thin air.

Yu Yichao was long gone by the time he arrived, while the thousand-meter-long divine lightning was still chasing after him. Ye Guan had to turn around and swing his sword at the oncoming divine lightning.

Boom!

Lightning crackled as the divine lightning burst into pieces. Ye Guan rapidly retreated, but crimson lightning bolts streaked across the battlefield and headed straight for him.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he swung his sword once more—forty swords!

Boom!

The crimson lightning bolts burst into innumerable light crystals.

A blurry figure appeared in front of Ye Guan. Ye Guan was about to attack, but he realized that the sword in his hands was being suppressed by a lightning current.

Ye Guan decisively let go of the sword and punched out with his right fist.

World Devastation Art.

The World Devastation Art was Ye Guan’s very first martial skill. It wasn’t a high-level martial skill, but it seemed capable of devastating an entire world in Ye Guan’s hands.

Rumble!

The spacetime shook violently as Ye Guan’s fist blocked the oncoming lightning bolt.

Yu Yichao’s figure was revealed when the lightning bolt dissipated. It turned out that she had to use the lightning bolt to protect herself. Yu Yichao glared at Ye Guan, but before she could make her next move, a sword headed straight for her from her flank.

Yu Yichao’s eyes flashed in a crimson light.

Boom!

Yu Yichao and Ye Guan had to retreat when their attacks collided with each other.

Crimson lightning and Ye Guan’s sword lights incessantly tore at each other, creating a horrifying sight.

The two retreated several hundred meters away from each other before stopping.

Yu Yichao stared deeply at Ye Guan and opened her palm.

Boom!

A ball of lightning shot out of her palm and took the skies.

The spacetime a kilometer around her was dyed crimson in the blink of an eye.

Ye Guan frowned upon seeing the lightning bolt.

He then turned into a beam of sword light and rushed toward Yu Yichao.

The air let out a shrill shriek as Ye Guan tore it apart to reach Yu Yichao.

Yu Yichao’s expression turned sinister. She roared and brought down her right hand that had been controlling the lightning ball.

Shwaaa!

The battlefield was instantly enveloped by flames.

Everyone watched as sword lights and lightning bolts clashed in the sea of fire. The fight was intense, and the two moved so fast that the onlookers were struggling to keep up with their speed. They could only see the afterimages of the two as well as their sword lights and lightning bolts.

The Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe observed the ongoing battle within the sea of fire.

Ye Guan and Yu Yichao moved faster and faster as time went on. In the end, the onlookers lost sight of the two, and they only knew that the fight was still ongoing because of the booming thunder and the shrill shriek of air as Ye Guan’s sword cleaved through them.

An Nanjing looked down at the two from above. She was strong enough to track their movements, but she remained calm and composed; not even a hint of emotion could be seen on her visage.

Ruler An was spectating the battle as well, but her gaze was transfixed on Ye Guan.

She had just realized that Ye Guan was still holding back.

To make matters worse, he still hadn’t pulled out that peerless sword!

Ruler An knew that Ye Guan could instantly kill Yu Yichao using that sword. Ruler An was familiar with that sword’s might, as she had witnessed its might with her own eyes.

Back then, Ye Guan’s cultivation realm was incredibly low, but he managed to kill a Divine King using the help of that peerless sword. Ye Guan was a swordsman, and he would become incredibly powerful with that sword in hand.

However, Ye Guan still hadn’t pulled it out.

Why?

Ruler An frowned in confusion.

Boom!

Meanwhile, a crimson lightning bolt shot to the skies, and it was quickly torn apart by a sword light. Under everyone’s gazes, Ye Guan’s sword lights converged and attacked a particular spot at the same time.

Crackle!

Lightning crackled, and a lightning bolt would move backward with every crackle.

Yu Yichao was standing within the lightning bolt as it frantically zoomed away.

Yu Yichao retreated a few hundred meters away, but when she stopped, a sword light had already appeared not too far away from her.

Yu Yichao’s pupils constricted. She placed her palms together, and a powerful lightning current burst out of her before taking to the skies. The lightning current burst open and turned into a three-kilometer-tall lightning god projection.

The lightning god projection moved, and a horrifying lightning current surged toward Ye Guan like a deluge.

Boom!

Ye Guan was sent flying at least a kilometer away.

When Ye Guan regained his footing, he stared intently at Yu Yichao. The lightning god projection above Yu Yichao was emitting waves of horrifying lightning current with its palms pressed together. The seemingly boundless lightning current made even spacetime quiver violently under its influence.

Ye Guan remained calm and composed as he stared at the lightning god projection.

Just then, Yu Yichao turned into a bolt of lightning and fused with the lightning god projection.

Crackle!

A kilometer-long lightning bolt abruptly flew toward Ye Guan. It was a lightning bolt filled with a horrifying power that made even the onlookers feel a sense of dread at the mere sight of it.

Ye Guan vanished into thin air.

Hum!

A resonant sword hum pervaded the skies as a sword light split the kilometer-long lightning bolt and made a beeline for the lightning god projection.

“Extinguish!” Yu Yichao shouted.

The lightning god projection swung its palm toward the sword light.

Rumble!

The ground quaked violently as the palm of the lightning god projection moved slowly toward the oncoming sword light.

Ye Guan looked up at the massive palm looming over him. A sinister light flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes as he decisively accelerated and rushed toward the oncoming palm. He had decided to face it head-on using the power of forty-five swords in one sword move!

The sword move was empowered by both the Invincible Sword Intent and the Invincible Sword Soul. A resonant hum echoed once more, and everyone on the Xuzhen Battlefield heard it loud and clear.

The onlookers stared with bated breaths as the sword light struck the lightning god projection and tore it into pieces.

Yu Yichao clenched her fists. Her fleshly body and soul burned brightly as she ignited them at the same time.

Yu Yichao’s beautiful face was distorted as she roared, “Let’s die together!”

She rushed toward Ye Guan as if she had lost her mind.

Shwik!

Ye Guan’s sword pierced her stomach, but she was still alive.

She hurriedly grabbed Ye Guan’s shoulders and…

BOOM!

The immense energy within her exploded with such a powerful blast that it shook the entire Xuzhen Battlefield.
