I Have a Sword

The man in black was instantly suppressed!

The people behind the man in black were stunned.

The man in black was also wide-eyed with disbelief. He didn't expect that Ye Guan would instantly kill his fleshly body.

After all, he had only accumulated about ten percent—no, it seemed that Ye Guan had twenty percent divinity.

Despite that, it was still absurd Ye Guan somehow managed to kill the man in black in the blink of an eye.

The man in black was truly stupefied.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword trembled slightly, ready to devour the soul of the man in black.

Rumble!

A terrifying aura surged from behind Ye Guan, and a thunderous voice boomed. "Kill him if you dare!"

Ye Guan flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

The man in black was completely absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword, and not even a trace of his soul was left.

"Impudent!" roared the full divinity expert. His roar alone contained so much power that both the heavens and earth seemed to tremble beneath it.

Ye Guan turned around and saw an elderly man wearing a black robe a kilometer away from him.

The black-robed old man's face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's eye and were filled with killing intent toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He cast an indifferent gaze at the black-robed old man and asked, "Where do you live?"

Little Pagoda. "…"

The black-robed old man was shocked by Ye Guan's words. He hadn't attacked immediately upon realizing that the young swordsman couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.

And Ye Guan had just asked him where he lived...

Why did he ask me that question? Is he planning on destroying my entire civilization?

The black-robed old man's expression turned grim. His Young Master wasn't a full divinity expert, but he was still an extremely formidable expert among his peers.

Despite that, he couldn't withstand even one move from Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's question just now meant only one thing—he wanted to avenge himself.

The black-robed old man started pondering over Ye Guan's true strength.

Witnessing the black-robed old man's silence, Ye Guan frowned and asked, "You guys came here to rob me, right? Why hesitate now? Come on! All of you, c'mere! Gang up on me!"

Ye Guan flicked his sleeve, and a wave of sword intent swept out. The sword intent was so powerful that the spacetime nearby became illusory beneath its influence.

Little Pagoda asked, "One against three, are you confident?"

Ye Guan calmly replied, "No."

The man in black's foolish decision to underestimate Ye Guan was the reason Ye Guan managed to kill him instantly. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to take him down.

Having revealed his true strength, these people were definitely wary of him now, so there was no way he could still kill any of them instantly.

Moreover, they were from an unknown civilization, and reinforcements would likely keep arriving here if he were to stay here.

Little Pagoda solemnly asked, "Then, why are you being so arrogant?"

"It's precisely because I can't beat them that I have to become as arrogant as possible," Ye Guan responded coolly, "If I could beat them, I wouldn't put on this act. I would have taken them down earlier."

Little Pagoda had no idea how to respond to that.

The black-robed old man glared at Ye Guan, but he dared not make a move. The twelve supreme elites standing behind him also didn't make a move upon noticing the black-robed old man's hesitation.

"May I know which civilization you're from?" asked the black-robed old man. He concluded it was best to find out the origins of this young swordsman first before deciding on whether they'd make a move against him or not.

Ye Guan chuckled and replied, "I'm from a small civilization that's not worth mentioning."

The black-robed old man frowned.

Ye Guan said, "Don't overthink it. My civilization is at the lowest tier, and I have no backing at all. Trust me."

"Surely, you jest," retorted the black-robed old man.

Ye Guan thought for a moment before saying, "This stalemate is pointless. Are you going to fight me or not? Just answer me properly."

"You killed our Young Master. If we let you go so easily, we won't be able to explain ourselves to his father," the black-robed old man explained.

Ye Guan frowned.

The black-robed old man asked, "Are you from a Tier Three civilization?"

"Barely a Tier One civilization."

"You're definitely from a Tier Three civilization."

Ye Guan was puzzled. He had no idea what the black-robed old man was trying to say.

The black-robed old man stared deeply at Ye Guan before he turned around and left without saying another word.

Ye Guan was utterly confused.

Moments later, Ye Guan shook his head and disappeared into thin air.

Meanwhile, the black-robed old man stopped in his tracks.

The leader of the guards next to him asked, "Elder Mo, he killed our Young Master. How are we going to explain ourselves without his head in our hands?"

"He's from a Tier Three civilization," the black-robed old man replied, "Our Guyan Civilization cannot afford to make enemies with such a powerful civilization. We have to report it to the Council of Elders first, and they'll decide on our next steps."

The leader of the guards hesitated at the remark. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself in the end.

The black-robed old man asked, "Are you Old Li's grandson?"

The leader of the guards nodded.

The black-robed old man shook his head slightly and said, "Out of respect for Old Li, I'll give you some advice. You have to learn how to read the air, especially whenever you're outside our civilization. We could have taken that young swordsman down if we had ganged up on him, but have you never considered the possibility that we could die as well?"

"How much is your annual salary?" asked the black-robed old man.

"Two hundred strands of Ancestral Origin."

"You'd risk your life for two hundred strands of Ancestral Origin a year?" asked the black-robed old man. Then, he turned around and disappeared into the horizon. He just had to make a report, and someone else would handle this issue.

By not making any move, he'd avoid taking risks, which was already a victory in his eyes.

"A useless bureaucrat…" muttered the leader of the guards, "I really despise people like him, but the majority of them all have high positions for some reason. The heavens truly are blind."

He then turned to his men and said, "That young swordsman killed our Young Master. If we were to follow Elder Mo's advice and reported to the Council of Elders without doing anything else, then we wouldn't get punished, but we wouldn't obtain anything as well. If we kill that swordsman, however, there will be great rewards ready for us upon our return. What do you guys think? Are we going to do this or not?"

The guards exchanged glances.

"Boss, that young swordsman's strength is extraordinary. If he's really from a Tier Three civilization, then he definitely has powerful backers. Do we really want to—" one of the guards muttered hesitantly in a deep voice.

"Fortune favors the bold!" the leader of the guards interrupted, "We just have to kill him, and the clan leader will reward us handsomely upon our return."

The guards looked at each other.

"We're not cowards, aren't we? A life of riches ahead of us; we just have to make this one gamble. Let's go!" exclaimed the leader of the guards. He then transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward where Ye Guan was last found.

The guards gnashed their teeth and followed suit.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan had just entered the pagoda when he noticed something amiss outside, prompting him to go back out.

As soon as he appeared outside, he saw a cold light making a beeline for him. The cold light was filled with killing intent. It seemed that the attacker truly wanted to claim his life.

Ye Guan waved his hand, and a powerful wave of sword intent flew out of his palm.

Bam!

The cold light shattered, and a figure was sent flying backward. The next moment, however, dozens of figures attacked him from all directions.

Ye Guan's face darkened. He didn't expect that these guys would come back for his head.

However, Ye Guan remained undeterred. He opened his left hand, and his sword domain appeared.

Thousands of sword lights manifested in the blink of an eye, and they all flew toward the guards.

Boom!

The spacetime around Ye Guan collapsed. He was forced to retreat, but the guards were pushed back as well.

Before he could stop, the leader of the guards charged at him. At the sight, Ye Guan switched swords. The sword made out of sword intent disappeared and was replaced by the Qingxuan Sword.

Ye Guan then slashed out fiercely.

Schwing!

The spacetime before Ye Guan was torn apart by the Qingxuan Sword along with the leader of the guards' sword.

Bam!

The powerful attack sent the leader of the guards flying thousands of meters away.

When he finally came to a halt, he was stupefied to find that his right arm had exploded. He was also drenched in his own blood.

The sight was so unbelievable that he froze completely for a split second.

Unfortunately, a split second was enough for Ye Guan.

The leader of the guards' eyes narrowed upon sensing something, but before he could do anything, a sword pierced his forehead, pinning him in place.

Phantom Edge!

The sword strike had easily overwhelmed the leader of the guards.

The leader of the guard's face was filled with disbelief. "You…"

Swoosh!

Ye Guan suddenly appeared in front of him, and the former slashed out decisively.

Squelch!

The leader of the guards' head flew into the air.

Ye Guan sheathed his sword and snatched the leader of the guards' storage ring.

"What's there to say when you're already dead?" asked Ye Guan. He then turned to look at the remaining guards and saw that their faces were pale. The next moment, they turned around and retreated frantically.

Ye Guan didn't chase them. He looked down at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand and shook his head with a smile, saying, "I'm starting to get addicted to using this sword."

Using a sword made out of sword intent was admittedly hard for Ye Guan, especially against such powerful enemies. However, it was a different story with the Qingxuan Sword. The Qingxuan Sword was like a hot knife cutting through butter; every single attack would always end in utter annihilation of the enemy's defenses. Ye Guan was getting addicted to how satisfying and easy it was to kill someone with the Qingxuan Sword. He truly felt like abandoning his sword intent for the Qingxuan Sword.

When that thought popped up in his mind, he chuckled softly and put away the Qingxuan Sword.

He returned to the tiny pagoda and found that Yi Nian was still engrossed in studying the spacetime inside the pagoda. She was so engrossed that the spacetime in the area around her was vibrating gently.

Ye Guan watched in awe because he could sense a terrifying time force from her, and it was a time force far stronger than anything he could muster. It was simply incredible.

Just then, Yi Nian walked out of the spacetime region. She walked up to Ye Guan and gestured with her hands before pointing at the special spacetime region.

After a while, Yi Nian looked at him and smiled gently. "Like this, like that, and then it'll become like this… Do you understand?"

Ye Guan was silent. "Can you be a bit more detailed?"

Yi Nian blinked and looked down. After a while, she asked, "Do you want me to give you a brain transplant instead? I can do that."

Ye Guan. "???"
