Chapter 624: Summon Together |
"Come out and fight!"
Seeing the man in the green robe emerge from the sword light, Qin Guan shook her head and smiled. She was expecting An Nanjing to fight the Divine Spirit herself, so she couldn't help but be surprised when she called someone.
She had summoned the grandfather, who, in turn, actually came.
The man in the green robe smiled at An Nanjing. "Are you coming with me?"
An Nanjing looked up at the Divine Spirit in the distance. "Fight him."
The green-robed man looked at the Divine Spirit, who had been staring at him.
Before the Divine Spirit could speak, the green-robed man waved his sleeve, and the sword in his hand soared into the sky. The Divine Spirit couldn't even react before he was stabbed between the eyebrows by the sword.
The people in the field were petrified. Even Chen Yu blanked out, his eyes widening like brass bells.
How could the man in the green robe kill a Divine Spirit so easily?
It was terrifying.
Most of the Time River cultivators had never seen the man in the green robe before, so they had no idea how powerful he was.
The Shadow of the God was just as bewildered.
Although it was only his shadow, it should have been impossible for him to be killed so quickly. Hence, he could not help but be somewhat confused.
The Shadow of the God was about to speak when the sword within him violently shook and obliterated him.
The man in the green robe opened his palm, and the sword flew back into his hand.
He then smiled at An Nanjing. "Shall we go?"
An Nanjing shook her head.
Perplexed, he asked, "Why not?"
"I don't want to wander around with you."
As the man in the green robe sighed, she asked, "What about those Gods?"
The man in the green robe shook his head. "They can handle them.... Are you really not coming?"
An Nanjing frowned. "I already said no. Stop asking me already."
The green-robed man nodded and smiled. "Take care, then."
He then turned and transformed into a streak of sword light, soaring into the sky.
When he disappeared from view, Qin Guan looked at An Nanjing, "Why didn't you go with him, senior?"
An Nanjing calmly replied, "He already has way too many women. What's the point of me getting involved?"
Although surprised, Qin Guan soon smiled and nodded in understanding.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu suddenly turned and ran off into the distance.
When the Shadow of the God was killed, he immediately realized that he had underestimated the powers supporting Ye Guan. They were an unimaginably horrifying existence.
Knowing he had to inform the Chen Clan before they got into huge trouble, he escaped as fast as he could.
However, the powerful cultivators of Guanxuan Academy chased after him. Not long after, he and the cultivators that had come with him were taken down. However, Qin Guan captured them instead of killing them. After locking them up, Qin Guan looked up into the depths of the sky and whispered, "It's time to visit the Old Era."
...
First God Paradise.
In the vast mountain ranges, Ye Guan continued his bitter cultivation. He had spent the past half month battling the First God's seal. Unfortunately, despite becoming significantly more powerful, he still couldn't break through the seal. As he grew stronger, so did the seal.
One day, Ye Guan stopped and put aside his Sword Intent. He then turned and left. Before long, he reached the Wu Clan.
Inside the hall, Xuan Yin looked somewhat incredulous. "You want to go outside?"
Ye Guan nodded.
He had been wanting to fight people. Unfortunately, unlike the ones waiting for him outside, the seal was not a living being.
"Are you sure?" Xuan Yin asked solemnly.
Ye Guan nodded again.
"Elites from the four major clans are all outside. If you go out, you will definitely be ganged up on. Please think this over carefully."
"I know." Ye Guan smiled.
Xuan Yin wanted to further advise him against it, but when she saw his determined gaze, she realized it would be futile.
She nodded. "Follow me."
Xuan Yin then led Ye Guan to the teleportation array.
She then turned to him. "Are you absolutely sure about this?"
Ye Guan just smiled in response before walking onto the teleportation array.
After giving an Ancient Sovereign Origin strand to the teleportation array, it immediately activated.
"I'll see you later, Clan Leader Xuan," he said. Right after, he disappeared.
Xuan Yin shook her head. "He truly is a madman."
...
Outside First God Paradise.
As soon as Ye Guan emerged from the teleportation array, countless strong individuals surrounded him. Leading the group were Mo Tiandu, Qin Yuan, and Zhao Tianji. The four major clans' other powerful cultivators also filled the area.
Mo Tiandu stared at Ye Guan, his eyes filled with confusion. He didn't expect Ye Guan to come out willingly.
Qin Yuan and the others looked just as bewildered. Something seemed off.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Guan took a step forward, and a sword flew out of his hand. With a swift motion, he beheaded a cultivator about ten meters away from him. The cultivator did not even have time to react.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Without hesitation, Ye Guan took another step forward, and another sword appeared. It beheaded a cultivator a hundred meters away from him.
Horrified, Mo Tiandu rushed forward and tried to punch Ye Guan. Ye Guan only countered with a simple sword thrust, yet he still sent his opponent flying. As Mo Tiandu was blasted through the air, more heads were sent flying.
One step, one kill.
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes as a sense of exhilaration coursed through him. Every time he sent a sword out, he felt liberated from the suppression of the seal's power. It was like a weightlifter suddenly losing weight. The sensation was unprecedentedly satisfying.
His sword was now stronger than ever before, too. No one could even stand in its way. Mo Tiandu, who had been pushed back by Ye Guan's strike, was filled with disbelief. Despite only being at the peak Imperial Sovereign Realm, Ye Guan's combat prowess had become terrifyingly formidable. It was utterly abnormal!
While Mo Tiandu was still in shock, Ye Guan swiftly killed a few dozen more enemies, each only requiring a single stroke of his sword to kill. They could not even fight back.
"Attack him at the same time!" Qin Yuan exclaimed.
As commanded, all the strong individuals in the arena joined forces.
Ye Guan closed his eyes again and opened his hands. He then condensed a Sword Intent on his palms. Right after, he turned ethereal, and countless Sword Intent flew out from the space in front of him, converging into one sword.
Space Overlap!
With a deafening roar, Ye Guan unleashed a terrifying force. It swept through the arena and blasted away multiple cultivators. Those standing closest to him just lifelessly fell to the ground.
Ye Guan then dashed forward and transformed into a streak of sword light.
Swish!
Right after, several heads flew into the air.
He claimed a life for every passing second.
At that moment, Ye Guan had been completely consumed by his killing spree.
No longer restrained by the seal, his sword strikes became truly unstoppable.
Ye Guan's relentless onslaught caught the four major clans off-guard.
Mo Tiandu, whom Ye Guan's prowess had stunned, eventually regained his senses. Turning to Qin Yuan and Zhao Tianji, he said, "Let's attack him together!"
As the strongest of their forces, the three Ancient Sovereigns were the only ones who could stop Ye Guan.
Due to how critical the situation was, Qin Yuan and Zhao Tianji naturally didn't play any tricks. They immediately charged toward Ye Guan alongside Mo Tiandu.
Ye Guan stopped in his tracks. With a swift motion, he sheathed his sword and then drew it again, unleashing the Heavenrend Quickdraw!
Boom!
The collision sent Mo Tiandu and the others flying backward. Ye Guan also staggered back a thousand meters. As soon as he regained his balance, he charged forward again.
Heads flew every time he swung his sword.
It was a massacre!
Apart from the Ancient Sovereigns, no one could withstand his attacks.
Ye Guan's ruthless slaughter made Mo Tiandu and his companions' faces turn pale. They rushed toward him once more.
However, instead of fighting them head-on, he targeted the four major clans' other cultivators. Mo Tiandu and his companions couldn't even stop him. After all, his speed far surpassed theirs.
In less than half an hour, Ye Guan killed over a hundred people.
His killing intent surged, causing him to emit a faint aura of slaughter. He had been holding back for too long. Wherever he went, he was hunted down. Hence, he decided to come out not just to test out his strength but also to settle the score with the four major clans.
Didn't you all want to kill me? Here I am! Come!
Ye Guan's murderous intent grew heavier the longer his killing spree went on. Mo Tiandu and the other two Ancient Sovereigns quickly tried to come up with a way to stop him.
Eventually, Ye Guan's aura grew strong enough to suppress everyone in the field.
"Summon your ancestors," Mo Tiandu ordered.
Qin Yuan and Zhao Tianji glanced at each other.
Their ancestors were their families' trump cards. However, they could only summon them once.
"Summon your ancestors!" he repeated.
"Brother Mo, summon yours too," Qin Yuan calmly said.
Mo Tiandu frowned. "We don't need all three to deal with him!"
"Is that so? We can just use your ancestor, then."
Mo Tiandu's face darkened. "How can you still argue with me despite the situation?"
"If you think we don't need all three ancestors, then you can just summon yours," Qin Yuan replied.
Mo Tiandu looked at Ye Guan, who was becoming crazier the more people he killed.
"Fine! Let's summon them all."
The three each simultaneously took out a token and activated it. Three divine lights then soared into the depths of the sky.
Within them, three Gods gradually appeared.
