Chapter 638: Without My Yang Family's Permission |
Wang Shou's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground as blood gushed out the back of his head.
Ao Qianqian was finally in front of Captain Mu, and she swung her fist, sending a punch that made Captain Mu stagger backward.
Upon recovering her balance, Captain Mu looked up. Her expression turned heavy when she realized how strong her opponent was. Her sword couldn't withstand Ao Qianqian's attack alone and had shattered completely before it.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan decided to disengage from the two demonic beasts. His figure flashed, and he transformed into a ray of sword light that rushed toward Wang Shou.
Mu Yuan and the two Divine Generals then rushed out of the tiny pagoda to fight the two demonic beasts while Ye Guan scooped Wang Shou into his arms.
Then, he took out the Divine Tree of Nature and placed it inside Wang Shou.
Unfortunately, Captain Mu's sword strike shattered the root of his vitality, which meant that even the Divine Tree of Nature couldn't save him.
Ye Guan's face turned fierce at the realization.
Wang Shou grabbed Ye Guan's arm. He took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Guan. As he breathed in shallow, ragged pants, he said, "Star World, Star River Clan… Wang Junru… Tell her that she has to take care of herself from now on…"
Ye Guan gripped the storage ring tightly and got up. Then, he turned toward Captain Mu, who was being completely suppressed by Ao Qianqian.
Captain Mu's sword was sharp and powerful, but she couldn't pierce Ao Qianqian's defenses.
Ao Qianqian's strength far exceeded the power of her Sword Dao.
Ye Guan took a deep breath before roaring, "Qianqian!"
Ao Qianqian immediately understood what Ye Guan wanted, so she transformed into a ray of golden light and melted inside of him.
Ye Guan then took a step forward, and a ray of sword light thousands of meters long rushed toward Captain Mu.
Bam!
Captain Mu was blasted thousands of meters away.
Ye Guan's sword attack tore apart a chasm in the sky, creating a terrifying scene.
Captain Mu's eyes narrowed at the sight. She wasn't Ye Guan's match at all.
Realizing that, she turned around and transformed into a ray of sword light that took to the skies. She had decisively chosen to flee!
However, Captain Mu's expression changed drastically upon sensing a powerful energy chasing after her. Captain Mu raised her sword between her eyebrows and slashed out behind her.
A burst of sword light erupted, but...
Boom!
The sword light was shattered instantly, and Captain Mu was propelled backward by the attack.
Captain Mu didn't even waste time recovering her balance as she immediately took out a golden talisman that she hurled toward Ye Guan.
The golden talisman became bloated in mid-air, and it transformed into a golden-armored divine soldier wielding a giant axe.
The earth quaked, and the mountains crumbled as it stepped forward and swung its axe toward Ye Guan.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan transformed into a ray of sword light and charged at it. He was going to confront it head-on!
Boom!
The golden-armored divine soldier exploded into innumerable light fragments.
Captain Mu's eyes narrowed at the sight. The brief respite that the golden-armored divine soldier had brought her had allowed her to flee into the distant horizon. However, she still felt unsafe despite the distance, so she picked up the pace and fled. Captain Mu's years of experience in combat was telling her that she was no match for Ye Guan. Hence, she decided to leave and return to the Dao Market, as there was a powerful seal on cultivation bases over the Dao Market.
She had to go there for a chance of survival.
Thanks to her Concealment Beads, the demonic beasts ignored her outright. However, it was different for Ye Guan. He didn't have a Concealment Bead, so he attracted the attention of many demonic beasts.
Many of them charged at him with eyes full of ferocious glints.
Ye Guan turned around and yelled fiercely, "Get lost!"
His powerful Invincible Sword Intent swept across them, forcing them to retreat.
Ye Guan ignored them and transformed into a ray of sword light that chased after Captain Mu.
His domineering aura and aggression made the demonic beasts fearful of him. In addition, it didn't seem like he was encroaching on their territories, nor did he seem like an easy target. Thus, the demonic beasts chose to mind their own business.
Having merged with Ao Qianqian, Ye Guan's speed far exceeded Captain Mu's speed. Before she could escape the Mountain Sea World, Ye Guan had already caught up to her once again.
Captain Mu's eyes revealed a sinister light. She turned around abruptly and held her sword between her eyebrows before chanting the incantation for an ancient sword technique.
A drop of blood emerged from her forehead, and it floated toward the tip of her sword. The next moment, she roared and swung her sword forcefully.
Rumble!
A crimson sword energy tore through the heavens and earth.
However, Ye Guan didn't retreat in the face of it. He unleashed a sword attack as well—an ordinary sword attack!
Schwing!
It was just an ordinary sword attack, but it easily through the crimson sword energy. His sword attack was so strong that it knocked Captain Mu backward.
While in mid-air, Captain Mu didn't dare waste any time stabilizing herself as she hurled three golden talismans toward Ye Guan.
Three golden-armored divine soldiers appeared in front of Ye Guan, but he was not afraid. He stomped with his right foot and Ye Guan charged at them in a ray of sword light.
One of the golden-armored divine soldiers shattered immediately at the moment of collision.
Meanwhile, Captain Mu didn't dare to stay and observe. She fled to the distant horizon and fled as fast as she could toward the exit, which she could finally see.
She just had to enter the Dao Market, and she'd be safe by then.
Soon, she reached the Dao Market's teleportation array.
Rumble!
The teleportation array activated, whisking her away.
However, Ye Guan arrived just in time and was whisked away as well.
Moments later, Captain Mu and Ye Guan found themselves back in the Dao Market.
Ye Guan immediately felt a mysterious force suppressing his cultivation. He looked up and saw Captain Mu glaring at him with a cold light in her eyes.
Ye Guan walked slowly toward her, but Captain Mu didn't run away this time.
Seeing that, Ye Guan ran at her and pounced on her like a tiger.
Captain Mu's eyes narrowed, clearly surprised that Ye Guan would dare to make a move here. However, she wasn't afraid, as his cultivation base was sealed.
Ye Guan reached her in the blink of an eye. He swung his fist at her, but Captain Mu reacted in time, blocking the punch with her arm.
Bang!
Captain Mu flew backward, and Ye Guan charged at her, throwing another punch.
Captain Mu swung her fist as well, sending a punch toward Ye Guan's fist.
Bang!
Captain Mu was blasted away when their fists collided in mid-air.
Ye Guan charged forward once more. His punches were like the rain as Ye Guan pelted Captain Mu nonstop with his punches.
Captain Mu was forced to go on the defensive.
Unfortunately, their battle had attracted the attention of the Dao Market's soldiers.
Soon, four Dao Soldiers appeared and surrounded them. The faces of the Dao Soldiers darkened upon seeing Ye Guan.
They recognized him, as they had imprisoned him in the Dao Prison not too long ago. They didn't expect to see him here, but it only meant one thing—Ye Guan had somehow managed to escape the Dao Prison.
Seeing that he was causing trouble here again, the expressions on their faces became unpleasant. One of them said, "Stop."
Ye Guan and Captain Mu immediately stopped fighting upon seeing them.
A Dao Soldier said, "Arrest them."
The remaining three Dao Soldiers stepped forward to apprehend the two of them.
However, Captain Mu took out a golden circular badge.
The expression of the Dao Soldiers' leader changed drastically at the sight. "You're…"
Captain Mu put away the golden badge and said, "I want him dead."
The leader of the Dao Soldiers fell silent for a few moments before he turned to Ye Guan and said, "Arrest him."
Three powerful auras immediately descended upon Ye Guan, immobilizing him.
Ye Guan stared quietly at Captain Mu for a while before saying, "The two of us were fighting here. According to the rules, she should be arrested as well."
The leader of the Dao Soldiers said, "We only saw you attacking her; she didn't attack you at all."
Ye Guan chuckled lightly.
The leader of the Dao Soldiers walked up to him and asked, "Do you find this unfair?"
Ye Guan nodded.
The leader of the Dao Soldiers extended a finger and dug it into Ye Guan's shoulder. "Then, you better bear with it."
"What if I don't?" Ye Guan retorted.
"Oh?" The leader of the Dao Soldiers challenged, "Give it a try, then."
The auras of three Dao Soldiers surged as they got ready to make a move at any moment.
They knew that their leader was deliberately provoking this young man. According to the rules, they could execute the young man on the spot if he dared to make a move against them.
Witnessing Ye Guan's silence, the leader of the Dao Soldiers taunted, "I thought you wanted to give it a try?"
Ye Guan clenched his fists tightly.
Boom!
All of his bloodlines came to life, and Ao Qianqian merged with him as well.
A terrifying power erupted from him, and it allowed him to resist the cultivation seal.
The combined power of his three bloodline powers, his Invincible Sword Intent, and the might of the Dragon Clan forced the leader of the Dao Soldiers to his knees.
Ye Guan gripped the leader of the Dao Soldiers neck with his right hand, and his expression was extremely fierce as he said, "What are you trying to prove by acting all arrogant toward me?"
Then, he slammed the soldier to the ground.
Boom!
The ground cracked, and the Dao Soldier's body exploded into a bloody mist.
Ye Guan scanned his surroundings coldly with bloodshot eyes. "From today onward, I really want to see who's daring enough to open this Dao Market without my Yang Family's permission…"
"Who does the Yang Family think they are?" A voice abruptly pervaded the skies.
