I Have A Sword

Chapter 307: It Is Auntie’s Fault For Being So Powerful

Chapter 307: It Is Auntie’s Fault For Being So Powerful

The plain-skirt lady was stunned upon hearing Ye Guan's words.

Meanwhile, the mysterious lady turned to Little Pagoda and said, “At this rate, he's going to end up as a freeloading, lazy bum.”

Little Pagoda said, “I also think that he's going to get addicted to asking for help.”

The plain-skirt lady stared silently at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan felt slightly guilty under her gaze. “Aunt?”

The plain-skirt lady extended her palm, and the Path Sword appeared in her hands.

Without wasting any time, she slammed the sword on Ye Guan’s right arm.

Crack!

A crisp noise echoed, and Ye Guan's face changed drastically. Veins bulged all over him, and his blood vessels looked like they were on the verge of exploding. Even more terrifying than the pain was that he felt as though his soul was being devoured, and every bone in his body felt like they were being cut open by a knife.

The word excruciating would be an understatement to describe such pain. Ye Guan soon collapsed to the ground and let out a shrill scream of agony. After what felt like an eternity, he curled up in the fetal position on the ground while trembling uncontrollably.

The plain-skirt lady stared silently at him. Ye Guan was devoid of blood, and sweat dripped profusely down his face. The ordeal lasted but a few moments, but he looked utterly exhausted.

Eventually, the color returned to Ye Guan's complexion.

The plain-skirt lady saw that and said, “Let’s go.”

With that, she started walking toward the shining door.

Ye Guan was feeling much better than earlier, so he immediately followed her.

The plain-skirt lady suddenly asked, “Do you know why I decided to beat you up?”

Ye Guan nodded and said, “I can't keep on relying on you for my problems.”

The plain-skirt lady made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and said, "I liked you a lot when we first met. You were weak, but you had the heart of a true warrior.

"You faced challenges with courage and your brain without relying on anyone. You were also obstinate when it comes to sticking to your morals and beliefs."

"However, you've just made it clear to me that you're no longer the same Ye Guan I had met back then. You can no longer see the bigger picture, and frankly, I'm…" the plain-skirt lady trailed off. She shook her head before continuing. "I'm disappointed."

Ye Guan's head drooped, and he didn't say anything in response.

However, he eventually broke the ice and said, “Actually, this is all your fault. It's your fault for being so powerful.”

The plain-skirt lady stared quietly at Ye Guan.

"I was really scared when I saw you obliterate an entire world with just a single sword move, and I still can't quite grasp just how powerful you are, Aunt. I'm sure I look like I'm relying on you a lot, but you're like a god to me, and who won't rely on their own god?"

The plain-skirt lady was silent.

She opened her palm, and the Path Sword appeared in her hand.

Ye Guan's eyelids twitched, and he went as quiet as a mouse.

The plain-skirt lady made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and said, "I'm going to start beating you up every day if you still haven't reached the Great Sovereign Realm one month later."

Ye Guan's expression stiffened, but he could only smile bitterly at her declaration. The two soon reached the shining door, but it remained close even though they were already so close to it.

Rumble!

The shining door trembled, and a figure clad in purple armor walked out of it.

The horrifying aura he was giving off made even the spacetime around him quiver incessantly.

The mysterious lady exclaimed, “An Expedition Army troop!”

Ye Guan was stunned. The figure clad in purple armor was a Great Sovereign.

The figure clad in purple armor swept their gaze across the plain-skirt lady and Ye Guan before saying, “The Chaotic Star World is beyond this door, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering—”

The plain-skirt lady waved her sleeve.

Boom!

The gargantuan shining door collapsed.

The figure clad in purple armor was horrified, but the plain-skirt lady ignored them and turned to look at Ye Guan.

“Let’s go,” she said.

Ye Guan nodded. “Okay.”

With that, the two walked away, leaving the stupefied figure clad in purple all by themselves. The True Universe had spent an enormous amount of resources and effort to build the shining door many years ago, and it was all for the sake of preventing the denizens of the Chaotic Star World from leaving the Chaotic Star World world.

The ancient array emblazoned on the shining door had been stopping them from leaving, but now, the array was no more. Shockingly, it was destroyed with just a wave of a sleeve, stupefying the figure clad in purple.

The figure clad in purple knew that even Great Time Sovereigns wouldn't be able to leave a scratch on the gargantuan door, but the woman earlier merely waved her sleeve, and the shining door crumbled—the figure clad in purple was shell-shocked!

…

After passing through a haze of white light, Ye Guan soon found himself in the middle of nowhere. He was about to speak, but he turned around and froze upon realizing that his aunt was missing.

“Aunt?” he called out to no avail.

Ye Guan looked around and failed to see her.

Just then, the plain-skirt lady’s voice echoed in his head. “There are a few figures here that aren't too bad. I'll go and beat them up first, so you should go ahead and have fun by yourself.”

Ye Guan had no idea what to say. In the end, he shook his head and smiled wryly to himself. His aunt's temper was as fiery as usual. Ye Guan took a deep breath and looked around. He was indeed in the Chaotic Star World.

Ye Guan's eyes abruptly widened upon sensing something off.

He opened his palm, but the Path Sword didn't appear.

Ye Guan was stunned.

He attempted to call upon the Dao Imprint and the Divine Tree of Nature, but he received no response from them.

“Don’t look at me," Little Pagoda hurriedly said to Ye Guan using voice transmission, "All of your items have been sealed, including me!” He then realized something and quickly corrected himself. “No, I misspoke. I'm not an item!”

Naturally, the mysterious lady heard their conversation and remarked, “You're a genius, Master Pagoda.”

Little Pagoda's expression turned ugly at the mysterious lady's remark, but he didn't retort.

Everything is sealed! Ye Guan shook his head. My aunt sealed them!

He had neither artifacts nor anyone's help. He was no longer the Sword Master’s son or the King of the Guanxuan Universe. He had become nothing but just Ye Guan.

He was back to square one!

Ye Guan pondered over it before smiling. “All right!”

He pivoted on his wheel and headed into the distance.

He had just taken a few steps when he felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

He looked up and caught the tail end of a lightning bolt.

Crackle!

A red lightning bolt struck the ground, creating a powerful explosion.

It's a calamity! Ye Guan's heart jumped to his throat. His figure blurred, and he transformed into a ray of sword light that swiftly headed for the distance. Soon, he came to a halt but was horrified to see a red clump above his head.

Ye Guan's face changed drastically. The calamity can track me?

With that conclusion in mind, Ye Guan had no choice but to face it head-on.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and his sword intent took to the skies.

Boom!

However, a divine lightning bolt descended.

Ye Guan hurriedly created a sword made out of sword energy while reeling in shock.

Boom!

A powerful explosion occurred at the point of collision, and Ye Guan's sword made out of sword energy was destroyed upon impact. Ye Guan was blasted away, and he flailed around while falling toward a mountain range.

Boom!

A dull explosion echoed when Ye Guan struck the ground. The impact was so strong that it took Ye Guan a while to crawl out of the muddy pit.

His clothes were scorched, and his head resembled a messy bird's nest. He looked quite miserable as his blood started dripping out of the cracks in his skin. Evidently, he had suffered severe injuries from the collision just now.

Ye Guan was horrified. He had no idea that a lightning bolt could be so terrifying. He took out a spiritual pill and swallowed it, but his expression soon froze. He realized that he only had ten spiritual pills left to use because his aunt had sealed most of his items.

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled bitterly—things had just become more difficult!

Ye Guan didn't dwell on it. He sat cross-legged to recuperate. An hour later, Ye Guan looked down at himself and judged that he had recovered about eighty percent of his strength.

Boom!

There was a sudden explosion in the distance, and a white beam of light flashed and crashed into a thousand-meter-tall mountain. The impact was so strong that the mountain crumbled into pieces, haphazardly scattering debris in all directions.

Alarmed, Ye Guan hurriedly retreated to avoid the debris.

Crash!

A dark beam of light struck the ground, sending shockwaves that disintegrated the oncoming debris.

A disheveled figure hurriedly ran away from the dark beam of light, but the figure coincidentally moved closer to Ye Guan. Ye Guan's eyes fell on the figure, and he discovered that the figure was a young woman wearing a white dress.

A long sword was in her hand, and she was being orbited by three swords.

Ye Guan turned to the dark beam of light and found that it had dissipated, revealing the figure of a gray-haired old man. The old man's face was covered in wrinkles, but his eyes remained as sharp as an eagle's eyes. Overall, he had a fierce demeanor.

Ye Guan quietly retreated. These two figures were Divine Sovereigns, but the prowess they had displayed just now was beyond the prowess of the run-of-the-mill Divine Sovereigns out there.

Ye Guan couldn't allow himself to get dragged into such muddy waters, so he decisively chose to leave.

“Fairy Lu Yin," the gray-haired old man said, "You may leave after leaving the Tribulation Avoiding Stone behind.”

The young woman remained quiet as she extended her left hand and created a finger sword by sticking both of her fingers together. Without any word, she decisively swiped her finger sword across the sword in her right hand.

The young woman's blood seeped into the sword and dripped down its tip, but she ignored the sharp pain. She gestured with her left hand and pointed her sword at the gray-haired old man.

“Sealing Sword Technique,” she muttered, and the sword in her hand flew toward the gray-haired old man. However, her attack didn't end there. Numerous tiny spacetime rifts abruptly manifested around the gray-haired old man, and the rifts spat out swords.

"Are you mad?!" The gray-haired old man's expression turned ugly. “You actually used a forbidden technique?!”

The gray-haired old man gestured with his hands, and a dark-colored energy flooded out of him. The flying swords managed to trap the gray-haired old man and keep him occupied, but the young woman had evidently paid a huge price.

Her visage was as pallid as a corpse, and she looked completely exhausted.

Lu Yin's figure blurred, and she transformed into a beam of sword light that rushed toward Ye Guan. Ye Guan was stunned when he felt something soft hit his back. The young woman had fallen on his back.

Ye Guan was quiet. What is she doing?

The young woman wrapped her left hand around Ye Guan's neck and threatened, "I want you to bring me to the Tianxuan Clan. Your life is in my hands, so you better bring me there!"

Hearing that, Ye Guan backflipped and pushed the young woman beneath him. He didn't bother to wait for her reaction as he punched her throat.

Crack!

A grotesque noise echoed from the young woman's neck, and she spat a mouthful of blood. However, Ye Guan wasn't done just yet as he stood up and stomped on Lu Yin’s stomach.

Squelch!

Ye Guan's foot pierced Lu Yin’s stomach, tearing her insides apart.
