I Have A Sword

Chapter 333: Invincible

Chapter 333: Invincible

Ye Guan suddenly felt a bit puzzled. Was the Adjudication Sword Master really out of her mind? There wasn't even a moment when she wasn't annoyed. Her temper was just outrageous.

The Adjudication Sword Master glared fiercely at Ye Guan as if she wanted to devour him alive.

Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, they heard approaching footsteps. Without hesitation, Ye Guan jumped in front of the Adjudication Sword Master. He lifted her up and started running away.

The Adjudication Sword Master had yet to recover from her injury, so she would be completely useless in a fight.

The Adjudication Sword Master stared at Ye Guan without speaking. After running for about an hour, Ye Guan stopped and placed the Adjudication Sword Master on the ground.

Taking a step back, he asked, "When will the seal break?"

The Adjudication Sword Master remained expressionless as she replied, "No idea."

Ye Guan sighed softly and sat down quietly next to her.

The Adjudication Sword Master was quiet.

Eventually, the silence in the air was broken by the Adjudication Sword Master as she asked, "What about Cishu?"

Ba Wan? Ye Guan shook his head and replied, "She's in Stone Village."

The Adjudication Sword Master frowned slightly and asked, "She didn't go with you?"

Ye Guan nodded.

The Adjudication Sword Master's curiosity was piqued. "Why?"

Ye Guan was quiet for quite a while before he eventually decided to explain, "She cherishes her relationship with her sisters. If she had followed me, she would have to join forces with me to deal with her sisters.

"She didn’t want to do that, and I don't want to force her to do something she doesn't want to do.”

The Adjudication Sword Master sneered, "Makes sense. We've always been close, so how could she possibly stand on your side and go against us?"

Ye Guan nodded at that and went quiet.

The Adjudication Sword Master saw Ye Guan's solemn look and taunted, "What's wrong? Does it hurt to know that we're more important to her than you?"

Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at the Adjudication Sword Master before asking, "Have you ever fallen in love?"

The Adjudication Sword Master narrowed her eyes. Before she could explode in fury, Ye Guan chuckled and said, "Of course, you haven't. You're so ruthless and proud, so how could you possibly fall in love?"

The Adjudication Sword Master's visage turned frosty. "So what if I'm ruthless and proud? What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Guan shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

With that, he walked away and lay down, putting some distance between himself and the Adjudication Sword Master. The Adjudication Sword Master sneered, but she chose to remain silent.

Just then, a loud explosion tore through the air, and a pillar of red light burst out of the ancient temple in the distance.

Ye Guan's expression changed, and he stood up.

However, a mysterious force had locked onto him, and before he could do anything, the same mysterious force stripped him of his spiritual cores. Ye Guan tried to resist in a panic, but it was futile.

The mysterious force was far too overwhelming, and even if Ye Guan's cultivation base weren't sealed, it would still be impossible to resist the mysterious force. It was simply that formidable.

The mysterious force snatched away his spiritual cores; the spiritual cores transformed into radiant beams of spiritual energy that rushed toward the ancient temple.

However, Ye Guan wasn't alone. It seemed the other people had been robbed of their spiritual cores as well, and the spiritual energy inside their spiritual cores was rushing toward the ancient temple like a torrent.

An hour later, Ye Guan's billions of spiritual cores had finally melted away. He was utterly exhausted, and he collapsed to the ground.

Just then, the Adjudication Sword Master walked over to Ye Guan and reached out toward Ye Guan's waist to pull out a dagger.

She looked down coldly at the helpless Ye Guan with a cold smile on her lips.

Ye Guan stared into her eyes, but he remained silent.

The Adjudication Sword Master patted Ye Guan's face and said, "Rest assured, I won't grant you such an easy death!"

She tossed the dagger in front of Ye Guan and stood up, shifting her focus to the distant temple. Ye Guan heaved a sigh of relief, but a sense of bewilderment lingered in his mind. How come she had decided to spare him?

Rumble!

The red light from the ancient temple turned golden as it received more and more spiritual energy. An indescribably powerful aura could be felt from within the ancient temple, and it instantly pervaded the world outside.

The Adjudication Sword Master's expression changed drastically.

She turned around and grabbed Ye Guan's foot, dragging him away. Ye Guan was confused, but the Adjudication Sword Master didn't say anything as she grabbed Ye Guan downhill.

She wasted no time and tumbled down the slope, bringing Ye Guan along for the ride. The two embraced each other as they rolled down, but none of them thought too much about the physical contact, as they couldn't even make sense of their surroundings as they rolled down the hill.

Just as they had reached the ground, the hill where they had been standing earlier was obliterated by a powerful force. If they had moved even a beat slower, they would have been obliterated along with that hill.

The Adjudication Sword Master lay on top of Ye Guan. She attempted to get up but found herself devoid of strength. Her previous wound had yet to recover, and she had just sustained new injuries.

The new injuries were just scratches and bruises, but the previous injury was more complicated.

The Adjudication Sword Master glared at Ye Guan and roared, "Stand up!"

Ye Guan tried her best to stand up, but he was too exhausted to do so.

The Adjudication Sword Master was both furious and frustrated at the sight.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan was astonished upon realizing that they were so close to each other. They were pressed against each other, and Ye Guan could feel how soft she was; likewise, Ye Guan reckoned that she could feel the hardness of his—dagger.

The Adjudication Sword Master snapped, "What are you looking at?!"

Ye Guan retorted, "Am I supposed to close my eyes?"

The Adjudication Sword Master angrily responded, "Yes, close them!"

Ye Guan grew irritated. "I'm just looking! What's wrong with that?"

The Adjudication Sword Master glared fiercely at Ye Guan, and her chest heaved up and down as she stewed in fury.

However, Ye Guan was unwilling to compromise this time, and he met her gaze defiantly. Just then, the Adjudication Sword Master leaned down and opened her to bite his nose.

“Fuck!" Ye Guan was stupefied. He used all his might to flip over and pin the Adjudication Sword Master beneath him. He glared at her and shouted, "Are you crazy?!"

She had bit down so hard on the tip of his nose that it almost came off. There was blood on the Adjudication Sword Master's lips, but she lunged forward and bit him again. Ye Guan saw through her movement and attempted to avoid her bite by trying to stand up, but the Adjudication Sword Master ended up biting his lips.

The two froze and looked as if they had been struck by a hammer.

They stared at each other in shock.

All of a sudden, Ye Guan felt a sharp pain on his lips. The Adjudication Sword Master had decided to bite down hard on his lips. Ye Guan rolled away in an attempt to escape the Adjudication Sword Master's teeth, but the latter took advantage of that opportunity to pin Ye Guan beneath her.

She pulled a dagger from Ye Guan’s waist and aimed it at his throat. When the dagger was only half an inch away from his throat, however, she retracted it and said, "It's too easy.”

She dropped the dagger and rolled away, grimacing from the pain that had shot through her entire body.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan closed his eyes. His nose and lips were in excruciating pain.

The Adjudication Sword Master had gone mad.

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed from the distance. Ye Guan looked up and saw beams of golden light in the skies. A terrifying pressure bored down on everyone on the ground, and the world itself seemed to be trembling.

Ye Guan’s expression turned grim. The pressure from the Eternal Sovereign's aura had gripped his heart with dread. The phenomenon in the skies lasted for an hour before a sonorous roar echoed from the ancient temple.

Boom!

A massive pillar of light shot into the skies, and a massive Great Dao rune appeared in response.

Ye Guan gnashed his teeth as the pressure had become a bit too much for his fleshly body to withstand. He gazed at the ancient temple and saw that the beams of golden light were bombarding the Great Dao rune, and it quivered incessantly beneath the bombardment.

Ye Guan clenched his fists. His cultivation base would be unsealed the moment the Eternal Sovereign shattered the seal, and he would finally be able to leave this damned place.

The Great Dao rune in the sky became blurrier and blurrier as time went on. An hour later, Ye Guan and the Adjudication Sword Master watched as the Great Dao rune burst into innumerable light crystals with a thunderous boom.

Rumble!

A figure slowly rose within the ancient temple. The figure belonged to none other than the Eternal Sovereign!

Ye Guan abruptly clenched his fists, and a low rumbling echoed from within him.

His cultivation base had been unsealed!

Ye Guan was overwhelmed by excitement, but he suddenly remembered the Adjudication Sword Master standing next to him. As always, her demeanor was as cold as a thousand-year-old icy cavern as she stared at him.

Ye Guan hurriedly took several steps backward, and he opened his right hand to create a sword made out of his sword intent. He stared intently at the Adjudication Sword Master, ready to defend himself at any moment.

The Adjudication Sword Master stared back at him and mocked, "Scared of me?"

Ye Guan was silent as he gripped the sword in his right hand. He didn't answer, but his surging sword intent was enough of an answer for the Adjudication Sword Master.

The Adjudication Sword Master suddenly turned and looked up to find a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes. His long hair flowed down freely, and his broad shoulders made him look towering. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he was laughing heartily. His laughter echoed throughout the Eternal Secret Realm.

He was one other than the Eternal Sovereign!

The Eternal Sovereign’s laughter eventually died down. He closed his eyes and muttered to no one in particular, "I didn't expect that the Great Dao in this place would one day deteriorate to such an extent.

"Did something happen to the Great Daoist Brush Master? It shouldn't be the case. He was so strong, so who could possibly harm him? Hm, what if letting me out is a part of the bigger picture that he is drawing?"

His frown deepened as he muttered. He had shattered the seal earlier than scheduled—about ten thousand years early. For some unknown reason, the Great Dao that the Great Daoist Brush Master had left here had weakened greatly.

As a result, the Great Daoist Brush Master's seals weakened. In addition, the Eternal Sovereign could no longer sense even the tiniest vestiges of the Great Dao here.

What happened to the Great Daoist Brush Master?

As the Eternal Sovereign stewed in his own confusion, his eyes suddenly landed on Ye Guan. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his palm, sending a wave of mysterious force that instantly engulfed Ye Guan before he could react.

Ye Guan was astonished to find the tiny pagoda in the Eternal Sovereign's hand. It seemed the Eternal Sovereign wanted to steal the tiny pagoda. The Eternal Sovereign’s eyes flashed in surprise as he marveled, “This is a true treasure of the world..."

The Eternal Sovereign smiled at Ye Guan and said, "You're quite interesting. Someone has obfuscated you from Heaven's Will, and you possess a Dao Imprint. What's your relationship with the Great Daoist Brush Master? Is he dead?”

Ye Guan stared deeply at the Eternal Sovereign before replying. "You're an esteemed individual known as the First Sovereign, so are you really going to resort to stealing?"

The Eternal Sovereign laughed heartily. "Yes, I'm going to resort to stealing. So what? Unhappy? Fight me!"

Ye Guan frowned.

"No, I'm not just going to steal." The Eternal Sovereign chuckled before saying, "I'm going to kill you as well!"

He threw a punch toward Ye Guan.

The Great Daoist Brush Master was no more, so he considered himself invincible!
