I Have A Sword

Chapter 649: Weird Power

Chapter 649: Weird Power

Ye Guan was taken aback. He didn't expect the Dao Market to take such an action.

Glancing around, he wondered, "Can you sense the three Gods, Senior?"

"No," Shen Ye's solemnly replied.

Ye Guan furrowed his brows.

Are those three individuals planning something underhanded?

"Call for reinforcements!" Old Zhao suddenly shouted.

Ye Guan momentarily hesitated. Old Zhao's apprehension toward him was evident. Although he had no idea how large or strong the forces behind the young man were, he was certain that someone was supporting him.

Although Old Zhao harbored reservations, he wasn't intimidated. The alliance between the Dao Market and the Qi Clan assured him of their strength against all but the two supreme clans, which stood at the top of all the words. After a thorough investigation of Ye Guan's affiliations, they found no ties to those two powers. Hence, he felt confident acting on behalf of the Dao Market.

Ye Guan smiled wryly. "I will call for help if I am overwhelmed, alright?"

"Are you certain?"

Ye Guan nodded confidently.

Old Zhao said, "Let us begin, then."

"Should we move this somewhere else?"

"No need."

"Up to you."

In an instant, Ye Guan vanished into a streak of light. Wanting to gauge his true strength and the disparity between him and a cultivator who had reached the Divine Dao Realm, he chose not to use the Qingxuan Sword.

As Ye Guan disappeared, Old Zhao swiftly countered. He held the opium pipe forward, stopping Ye Guan's attack with surprising force. Simultaneously, a formidable energy surged toward Ye Guan, forcing him back.

Kaboom!

Without hesitation, Old Zhao pressed forward, his punch morphing the space before Ye Guan into a sinister black vortex. Not wanting to engage in a battle of attrition, he immediately resorted to a decisive strike. Through all his years of fighting, he had learned not to underestimate his opponent.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ye Guan closed his eyes. A barrage of swords materialized around him and then merged into a singular force aimed at Old Zhao.

The clash between the Space Overlap and Old Zhao sent shockwaves rippling outward. The two were blasted backward, but miraculously, the surrounding structures remained intact, shielded by mysterious seals.

Old Zhao inspected his hand, observing the white of his bone. It was a testament to Ye Guan's unexpected power. Since he was in the Divine Dao Realm, Ye Guan should have been nothing more than an ant in front of him.

This was not normal.

From a distance, Ye Guan glanced at his arm, which had been shattered by the clash. He chuckled lightly, then fixed his gaze on Old Zhao and transformed into a streak of sword light, surging toward his opponent.

In an instant, he drew his sword and unleashed a powerful force using the Heavenrend Quickdraw technique.

The terrifying power within Ye Guan's strike made Old Zhao's demeanor shift. At that moment, he realized that he couldn't afford to be complacent. With a tight fist and a crouched stance, he channeled his energy and threw a devastating punch. The brilliance of his blow enveloped the entirety of the Dao Market.

Boom!

Their forces erupted simultaneously, sending shockwaves rippling outward like concentric circles on a pond. Amid their clash, Ye Guan and Old Zhao engaged in a frantic exchange, unleashing sword lights and punches that rocked the Dao Market like an earthquake.

A ferocious battle ensued between the two.

Nevertheless, Ye Guan still refrained from using the Qingxuan Sword, relying instead on his innate Sword Intent. Like a relentless tide, his Sword Intent manifested into streaks of luminous sword light.

However, Old Zhao's strength proved daunting. Despite Ye Guan's never-ending assault, Old Zhao's Fist Intent not only matched it but even seemed to overpower it. To Old Zhao's surprise, however, Ye Guan's Sword Intent, which he had initially suppressed, was growing stronger by the second.

A combat-oriented Sword Intent?

Realizing the escalating threat, Old Zhao concluded that he couldn't afford an extended battle. Golden light burst out of him, and his Fist Intent surged with renewed vigor.

Boom!

Ye Guan was forcefully repelled thousands of meters away by the sheer force of Old Zhao's blow.

As Ye Guan regained his footing, Old Zhao charged forward, his form ablaze with golden light. He closed the gap between them in an instant.

Ye Guan narrowed his eyes as he swiftly sheathed his sword made from Sword Intent. He then drew it in rapid succession.

Bam!

Countless sword lights engulfed Old Zhao only to be swiftly repelled by a burst of Fist Intent. In response, a strand of powerful fistlight surged toward Ye Guan's face.

Undeterred, Ye Guan charged forward, meeting the incoming strike with another powerful sword thrust.

Boom!

The deafening clash sent both parties hurtling backward. However, they charged at each other once more in the next instant.

Soon, the entire Dao Market was engulfed in a storm of punches and swordlights.

Meanwhile, Qi Mu's expression darkened as he witnessed the ferocity of Ye Guan's prowess. He couldn't understand how someone in the Heavenly Sovereign Realm could rival Old Zhao, a cultivator already in the Divine Dao Realm.

Something is definitely amiss. The strength he displays is abnormal.

What's so strange about his power, though?

Even within the Qi Clan, Qi Mu couldn't fathom a talent like this emerging without a formidable force backing it.

Is the entity supporting Ye Guan even more powerful than the Qi Clan?

Qi Mu's unease deepened as he observed the relentless exchange between Ye Guan and Old Zhao. If Ye Guan's supporters were even more powerful than the Qi Clan, then he could easily bring forth the demise of Qi Mu's clan.

The Yang Family...

Qi Mu could not unearth anything about the Yang Family. Like Old Zhao, he felt that as long as Ye Guan was not backed by the top two powers, he did not need to fear anything. However, now, Ye Guan's supporters seemed just as strong as those two. After all, no ordinary superpower could raise a talent as extraordinary as him.

Due to the uncertainties of Ye Guan's background, he couldn't shake off the feeling of foreboding.

Suddenly, he recalled the First God's involvement.

Why did the First God choose to pass on his legacy to this young swordsman?

It was an unsettling thought. The First God had reached a hundred percent divinity back then. He was even regarded as the strongest in the universe.

After silently observing the battle for a while, Qi Mu turned and left, opting not to intervene for the time being.

Let's see how this turns out.

Qi Mu decided to let the Dao Market test Ye Guan's limits first. If the force behind him proved manageable, he would join the fray to eliminate the threat. However, if it turned out to be too formidable, he'd make a swift exit, avoiding entanglement in this potentially disastrous situation.

Meanwhile, the battle between Ye Guan and Old Zhao raged on in the distance.

As the battle progressed, Ye Guan got more and more excited, and his Invincible Sword Intent grew increasingly stronger.

Realizing that Ye Guan was continuously becoming even more powerful, Old Zhao's expression turned grim. To make matters worse, Ye Guan had a terrifying regeneration speed. Every time Old Zhao injured him, Ye Guan's wounds would automatically heal in less than a dozen seconds.

This is unbelievable!

Boom!

Just then, a terrifying force erupted from in front of them, causing the two to stagger back. It wasn't until they had skidded thousands of meters from each other that they finally came to a stop.

After stopping, Ye Guan took a deep breath. His Invincible Sword Intent surged around him like a tide, turning into blades and circling him. His aura grew stronger with each passing moment.

He was thoroughly enjoying this battle.

Meanwhile, Old Zhao's expression became increasingly unsightly. He and Ye Guan were evenly matched now. Although the cultivation of the swordsman in front of him was much lower than his own, he still couldn't gain the upper hand.

What a monstrous talent.

Palpable killing intent burned in Old Zhao's eyes.

Suddenly, from afar, Ye Guan burst into laughter. "Let's continue!"

With that, he transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared. In the next instant, the sword light reached Old Zhao.

Taking a fierce step forward, Old Zhao threw a punch against Ye Guan's sword.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, a terrifying wave of energy erupted from the battlefield. Once more, the two were sent flying hundreds of meters backward. Ye Guan swung his sword and unleashed a powerful surge of Sword Intent, which then anchored him and stopped him from being pushed further.

Meanwhile, Old Zhao also stopped. He looked at Ye Guan with a terrifyingly dark expression, aware that he could no longer afford to fight Ye Guan in single combat.

It's time to bring in reinforcements!

"Qi Mu, make your move!" he commanded.

However, he received no response.
