I Have A Sword

Chapter 361: The Adjudication Sword Master

Chapter 361: The Adjudication Sword Master

Three swords to choose from? Ye Guan was surprised. The swords were his plain-skirt aunt’s Path Sword, his father’s Qingxuan Sword, and his grandfather’s Sword Precursor.

Clearly, his plain-skirt aunt, his father, and his grandfather were willing to lend their swords to White Skirt Qing'er.

Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at White Skirt Qing'er. It seemed that she was on good terms with all of them.

When Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao saw the Path Sword, his face turned ugly, and his eyes started trembling in fear.

The Path Sword was the sword that had struck the Heaven Seizing World and annihilated it. He couldn't help but feel terrified upon seeing it again. In addition, the other two swords seemed as terrifying as the Path Sword!

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao glanced at Ye Guan, thinking, His background is extraordinary!

White Skirt Qing'er swept her gaze across the three swords in front of her. She smiled lightly and stretched out her hand to stroke the three swords. In the end, her hand gripped the Path Sword.

The Path Sword trembled slightly as if responding to her.

White Skirt Qing'er turned to look at Shen Yijin not far away. Shen Yijin smiled lightly and was about to speak when White Skirt Qing'er vanished.

Sword light fleeted across the air as spacetime was directly torn apart.

Shen Yijin’s eyes narrowed sharply, and fear gripped his heart. He had noticed White Skirt Qing'er while he was on the way here, but she wasn't emitting any aura, so Shen Yijin wasn't sure of her strength.

However, he instantly realized that he had underestimated her when he saw her drawing her sword. Unfortunately, there was no turning back for him. He had already shown them his cards, so retreating here would be a humiliation he couldn't afford to stomach.

Shen Yijin roared and clenched his right fist. He unleashed a punch emblazoned with a myriad of runes. The starry sky was instantly set ablaze. The spacetime of the starry sky was scorched until everything went quiet.

Shen Yijin didn't dare to be careless. He went all-out.

However, the runes that had emblazoned his fist were annihilated as the Path Sword swept across them. The Path Sword obliterated every rune, and then the Path Sword's swing became a thrust, piercing Shen Yijin’s forehead.

Boom!

Shen Yijin was immobilized. Every onlooker was petrified as well. Shen Yijin was a Cosmic Spirit from the era of the Divine Dao Civilization, but the lady in the white skirt had defeated her with just one sword move?

Every elite from the Eternal Civilization was visibly shaken, and they hastily retreated from Ye Guan and his allies. Jingchen stared in astonishment at White Skirt Qing'er in the distance. Even the Battle Sovereign showed unprecedented seriousness in his gaze.

He was convinced that he couldn't block the lady in the white skirt's sword move even if he were at his peak.

The lady in the white skirt was strong, but the sword in her hand was even stronger!

Ye Guan's heart was filled with astonishment as he gazed at White Skirt Qing'er in the distance. The power of the Path Sword in her hands was completely different from when he wielded it. Clearly, the strength of a sword would vary depending on the strength of its wielder!

Ye Guan clenched his fists as his blood started boiling. He silently vowed to work even harder. One day, he wanted to make a sword as strong as the Path Sword.

White Skirt Qing'er looked at Shen Yijin in front of her.

She turned to look at Ye Guan and smiled. "Kid, come over here."

Ye Guan hurriedly went over to White Skirt Qing'er.

White Skirt Qing'er smiled faintly and said, "Now you can talk reasonably with him."

After a moment of thought, Ye Guan shook his head and said, "I think there's no need to do so."

"Young Master Ye!" Shen Yijin hurriedly said, "Spare me, and I'm going to serve the Guanxuan Universe under your command."

Shen Yijin was afraid of death, and he also knew the consequences of an uncompromising mindset. The result of his stubbornness was getting sealed for millions of years. He had cried a lot over those millions of years, regretting his decision to remain stubborn against the Great Daoist Brush Master.

He had just escaped from confinement, so he didn't want to die just like this. He didn't want to die when he had just regained his freedom after millions of years!

Hearing Shen Yijin's words, Ye Guan sighed inwardly. White Skirt Qing'er was right, a beatdown was sometimes more effective than words. If one were stronger than the other, the latter would beg you to talk reasonably with them.

White Skirt Qing'er turned to look at Ye Guan, seeking his opinion.

Ye Guan decisively said, "Kill him."

White Skirt Qing'er's lips curled slightly, and there was a hint of approval in her eyes.

As the ruler of the Guanxuan Universe, kindness could be fatal, as his enemies would certainly exploit it.

Shen Yijin's face turned fierce, and he roared, "If you're not going to let me live, I'm going to drag you down with me!"

His words had yet to finish echoing when his aura surged crazily. The terrifying undulations indicated only one thing—he had decided to self-destruct!

Snap!

White Skirt Qing'er snapped her fingers.

The Path Sword trembled violently, and there was a loud explosion as the Path Sword annihilated Shen Yijin. He failed to let out even a scream as the Path Sword obliterated both his fleshly body and soul, denying him the chance to reincarnate.

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao sighed softly.

How foolish!

He should have remained low profile and enjoyed his freedom. After all, he had just been unsealed after millions of years. How foolish of him to come here and seek his own death.

Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao suddenly felt that he was quite fortunate. It was a good thing that he had escaped decisively and as fast as he could. Otherwise, he would have suffered the same fate as Shen Yijin.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Eternal Civilization wore ugly expressions at the terrifying sight that they had just witnessed. Shen Yijin was a Cosmic Spirit, but he had been destroyed just like that.

They finally realized that they had grossly underestimated the Guanxuan Universe.

Jingchen's face changed drastically upon realizing something. He suddenly turned towards the direction of the Guanxuan Universe. He had sent more than a thousand sorcerers to the Guanxuan Universe for an ambush, so how come things were so quiet? Were they still alive? How about the Demon Sovereign?

The Unfettered Swordsman looked down at Ye Guan below. He smiled lightly before transforming into a streak of sword light that disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.

White Skirt Qing'er, Slaughter, and An Nanjing looked up briefly at the starry sky.

Soon, White Skirt Qing'er opened her palm, and the Path Sword returned to her hand. She shook her head and smiled while looking down at the sword in her hand.

Powerful external tools like the Path Sword had to be reserved for emergencies. It would be dangerous to use them frequently, as it would make one overestimate themselves until they eventually lose their own path.

Divine Transcendence! They were so close to it; they just needed one step, but it was an extremely difficult step to take. Plain Skirt Destiny had become a god in the hearts of everyone, including the Sword Master.

To destroy her image of a god in their hearts, they had to confront themselves first.

White Skirt Qing'er sighed, and then she turned toward Jingchen and the others in the distance. They shuddered, and before Jingchen could give the command, they turned around and ran as fast as they could.

A fight was just impossible at this point.

In addition, the experts of the Guanxuan Universe were truly exceptional, and they seemed to be capable of growing stronger the longer the battle. Especially the lady in the white skirt. It was absurd how she had single-handedly disposed of a Cosmic Spirit in a single sword move.

Jingchen’s expression turned ugly at the arbitrary retreat of his subordinates. He contemplated leaving behind some harsh words but decided against it. It would be his end if the enemies decided to chase after them out of fury.

Jingchen turned around and ran.

White Skirt Qing'er didn't bother to chase after them. She opened her palm, and the Path Sword took to the skies, disappearing into the starry sky. The Qingxuan Sword and the Sword Precursor also vanished into the depths of the starry sky.

Ye Guan glanced at the sky and asked, "How is Plain-Skirt Aunt doing in Milky Way?"

White Skirt Qing'er blinked and replied, "I don't know."

Ye Guan sighed.

White Skirt Qing'er added, "But we'll find out soon enough."

Ye Guan was surprised. "Are you going to Milky Way, too?"

White Skirt Qing'er nodded. "Brother is there, so we want to go there, too."

"I see." Ye Guan nodded.

White Skirt Qing'er smiled lightly and said, "Of course, we won't go there soon. The Eternal Sovereign is strong, and he's in the process of unsealing supreme elites from ancient eras, so we've decided to stay here with you until the crisis has passed.”

Ye Guan muttered, "Thank you."

White Skirt Qing'er shook her head. "We're family; why say thank you?"

Ye Guan grinned and replied, "All right, no more thank yous in the future."

"Sounds great." White Skirt Qing'er chuckled. She smiled lightly and asked, "By the way, you're technically from Milky Way as well, so have you ever thought about going there? You have many relatives there, and your mother's clan, the Qin Clan, is there."

Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, "Let's see when the opportunity arises."

White Skirt Qing'er nodded lightly and said, "Okay."

Ye Guan smiled, but he suddenly recalled something and asked anxiously, "Aunt, the Guanxuan Universe..."

"Don't worry," An Nanjing chimed in, "The Guanxuan Universe is being protected."

Ye Guan was curious. "By who?"

An Nanjing remained silent.

Ye Guan shook his head with a smile and didn't dare to ask further. He was wary of Senior An, as she would really beat him up if he ever angered her.

"You should take Little Jia and the others back first," Mu Niannian said to White Skirt Qing'er.

White Skirt Qing'er nodded and led Little Jia away along with the others.

Mu Niannian looked at Ye Guan and said, "The Eternal Civilization won't give up. The Eternal Sovereign is extremely arrogant... Well, he does have the justification to be arrogant.

"Anyway, In your opinion, what should we do now?" asked Mu Niannian.

Ye Guan said seriously, "Please enlighten me, Aunt!”

Mu Niannian smiled and said, "You really are a sweet talker."

"Actually, we should be more careful of the True Universe,” said Mu Niannian. She then turned to look at Ye Guan and said, "The mysterious woman inside you isn't with you anymore. Has she shown her true colors?”

Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.

Mu Niannian asked, "It's related to the Universe Tribulation, right?”

Ye Guan was somewhat surprised. "How do you know?"

"I guessed.” Mu Niannian smiled and continued. “She wants you to take on the Universe Tribulation, right?”

Ye Guan nodded once again.

"What a scheming vixen!" Mu Niannian remarked coldly.

Ye Guan asked in a deep voice, "Can my father take on the Universe Tribulation?”

Mu Niannian looked at Ye Guan, "Your father has taken that step to Divine Transcendence, but he still couldn't kill the True God. The True God hasn't been able to extinguish the Universe Tribulation as well, so what do you think?”

Ye Guan's expression was calm.

Mu Niannian whispered, "The Five-Dimensional Universe has encountered this Universe Tribulation as well, but it is trivial compared to the Universe Tribulation of the True Universe. It has accumulated a horrifying amount of power after being suppressed for so long, so it has become unimaginably terrifying.

"Still, the True God and your father can destroy it. However, destroying the Universe Tribulation means rebuilding the True Universe and the All Worlds from scratch."

"Is there really no other solution?" asked Ye Guan.

"There is a solution." Mu Niannian stared straight at Ye Guan and said, "Suppress it. The True God has been doing it for quite a while now, though."

Ye Guan sighed softly.

Mu Niannian explained, “That woman does not want you to take over the task of suppressing the Universe Tribulation. She wants you to provoke it and have the people behind you suppress it for you.”

Ye Guan sighed once again. It seemed that all the solutions to address the Universe Tribulation were just band-aid solutions. He finally knew why his father didn't go and challenge the True God again.

“I think you two should talk," Mu Niannian said.

Puzzled, Ye Guan asked, “What do you mean?”

Mu Niannian shook her head and pointed to the right. Ye Guan followed her gaze and saw a young woman standing in the distance.

The Adjudication Sword Master! Ye Guan froze in surprise.

“She's always been here, and it seems that she's—” Mu Niannian caught herself in time and shook her head. She then turned around and left without saying anything.
