Chapter 113: I’ll Bury You!
World Sword Aura!
The faces of the Undying Clan’s powerhouses turned ugly.
The World Sword Aura was left behind by the Sword Master, and their ancestors had explicitly told them not to activate it unless the Undying Clan was on the brink of destruction.
Obviously, Ye Guan still had no intentions of destroying the Undying Clan, and he was also not strong enough to destroy the Undying Clan, even if he wanted to annihilate them.
In addition, they still had some extremely powerful ancestors in the Main Guanxuan Academy, so there was no need for them to activate the World Sword Aura just to deal with Ye Guan.
However, Dongli Chen’s selfishness and fury spurred him into activating the World Sword Aura.
Sure, it would kill Ye Guan, but the loss would be too much.
The members of the Undying Clan felt a pang of pain in their hearts.
Dongli Chen glared murderously at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was right. Dongli Chen had allowed Ye Guan to kill Dongli Mo because Dongli Mo wasn’t his direct descendant. In addition, Dongli Mo was a monstrous talent, so he would eventually threaten Dongli Chen’s status as the Clan Leader of the Undying Clan.
And that was exactly why he had allowed Ye Guan to kill Dongli Mo.
He succeeded, but he didn’t expect Ye Guan to see through his scheme, and he even told everyone about it, which made him the number one enemy of the Undying Clan.
Ye Guan had destroyed his reputation, but Ye Guan was strong with an extremely powerful powerhouse as a backer. Dongli Chen was left with no choice but to kill him using the World Sword Aura.
Dongli Chen quickly made a decision. He would kill Ye Guan first, then kill the clan members who would dare to oppose him afterward!
Sword Sovereign? The World Sword Aura could easily kill a Great Sword Sovereign, so how could it fail to kill a mere Sword Sovereign?
Ye Guan’s expression fell upon seeing the oncoming Sword Aura. It’s so strong!
Ye Guan wasn’t able to appreciate his plain-skirt aunt’s power because she killed her targets with one sword move, and she had also never unleashed even a hint of her aura; she only used a plain sword to kill her enemies.
Of course, Ye Guan was also aware that the reason he couldn’t quite grasp his plain-skirt aunt’s strength was that her sword was never pointed at him. However, Ye Guan could clearly feel the strength of the World Sword Aura!
The Sword Master! Ye Guan stared at the World Sword Aura and clenched his fists. It’s just a strand of sword aura, so why is it so strong? If the Sword Master were here, I wonder how strong this sword aura would have been.
Ye Guan took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed in determination as he said inwardly, “His sword aura is still this powerful even after millions of years. Master Pagoda, I think this is what a true swordsman should be; I want to be this kind of swordsman. I’ll work hard to become a powerful swordsman like the Sword Master!”
The World Sword Aura quivered. It flashed and turned into a sword that made a beeline for Ye Guan.
Dongli Chen grinned sinisterly and roared, “Ye Guan! I really want to see just how you’re going to block that sword!”
Ye Guan’s expression was grim as he stared at the oncoming sword. He felt like a tiny boat in the middle of the boundless ocean amidst a typhoon. He felt insignificant!
The sword made him feel as if he were an ant!
He was a Sword Sovereign, but a strand of World Sword Aura still managed to make him feel tiny. However, Ye Guan wasn’t afraid. He gripped the Path Sword tightly, and he charged at the oncoming sword with the Path Sword in hand.
He felt like an ant attempting to block a carriage, so what? The World Sword Aura belonged to the Sword Master, so what? I respect you, Sword Master, but I am not afraid of you! Attack me, and I’ll bury you!
The onlookers stared?with bated breaths as Ye Guan’s sword collided with the World Sword Aura.
Boom!
The World Sword Aura quivered before shattering into innumerable sword aura fragments that floated gently toward Ye Guan.
The onlookers were stunned. It shattered? H-he shattered the Sword Master’s World Sword Aura?
The Undying Clan members looked like they had been struck by lightning from out of the blue as they stared blankly at Ye Guan.
Dongli Chen was full of disbelief as he stammered. “H-h-how is this possible?”
Ye Guan was slightly stunned as well. I shattered the World Sword Aura?
The innumerable sword aura fragments approached Ye Guan, and he could vaguely feel someone patting his head. It was baffling.
Moments later, the sword aura fragments disappeared.
Ye Guan remained silent. Did I really just break the Sword Master’s sword aura? I think I’ve gotten a bit… a bit too awesome!
However, he seemed to have recalled something, prompting him to look down at the Path Sword in his hand. Does it have something to do with the origins of this sword?
Little Pagoda suddenly said, “It has nothing to do with the origins of the sword. The Path Sword can sever everything, but not the Sword Master’s sword aura. The sword aura disappeared on its own.”
“But why?” Ye Guan asked.
After a few moments of silence, Little Pagoda replied, “It probably saw through your talent and thought that it would be a shame if you died, so it decided to let you go!”
Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled at that.
“What’s funny?” Little Pagoda asked.
After a while, Ye Guan replied, “Master Pagoda, I have to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“You need to put more effort if you want to fool me.”
Little Pagoda didn’t know what to say.
Ye Guan also didn’t bother asking because he was aware that Little Pagoda wouldn’t tell him anything. He glanced at the stunned Dongli Chen, but he left without saying anything. He didn’t bother wasting his time on killing Dongli Chen.
The latter was doomed, anyway.
Furthermore, the Undying Clan would just gang up on him in an attempt to kill him if he were to make a move. After all, Dongli Chen was still part of the Undying Clan, even though he was stupid.
Ye Guan hopped onto his sword and disappeared far into the horizon using Sword Travel. The Undying Clan members were too stunned to stop Ye Guan.
How did he break the Sword Master’s aura? Unfortunately for them, they wouldn’t be able to find the answer to this question for a long time. The Grand Elder approached Dongli Yu and muttered in shock, “He shattered the Sword Master’s sword aura…”
Dongli Yu nodded. She found it hard to believe as well. She really believed that Ye Guan would get killed by the World Sword Aura.
The Grand Elder sighed under his breath and said, “The ebony wood…”
Dongli Yu glanced sideways at the Grand Elder and replied, “Do you really think that Young Lord Ye would have left empty-handed?”
The Grand Elder’s expression turned heavy.
Dongli Yu muttered, “He even dared to kill that monstrous talent from the An Clan as well as the Heavenly Dao of the Zhongtu Divine Continent, so do you really think he’s going to be afraid of the Undying Clan?”
“If we had made a move against him, we would have lost more than just a piece of ebony wood!”
“You’re right!” the Grand Elder said as he broke out into a cold sweat.
If Ye Guan had decided to see this matter through to the end and started killing the Undying Clan members just to get what he wanted, the Undying Clan would have been in for a difficult time.
The bastard was just too terrifying.
Dongli Yu stared at the horizon and said, “Representative Ye truly has a great eye for people. It’s a pity that the aristocratic families of the Main Guanxuan Academy have become too powerful. Young Lord Ye would have already become a genius of the Main Guanxuan Academy by now.”
Grand Elder hurriedly added, “Little Yu, we’re an aristocratic family, too!”
Dongli Yu smiled, but she didn’t say anything in response to the Grand Elder’s comment. However, she seemed to have recalled something as she glanced at the pale-faced Dongli Chen and said, “Grand Elder, are you not going to say anything?”
The Grand Elder emerged from his trance and hurriedly shouted, “Stop fighting, all of you! Stop fighting! Let’s decide on who will be the next clan leader, and then I’ll let you guys fight afterward.”
Everyone was rendered speechless.
…
Ye Guan left the Undying Clan to meet Ye Qing and Ji Xuan. The two had followed Ye Guan all the way to the Undying World.
“Brother Ye Guan!” said Ye Qing.
Ye Guan said in a low voice, “I’m sure I’ve already been disqualified from the contest, so I won’t bother going back to participate. What about the both of you?”
Ji Xuan shook her head and said, “I won’t go back as well.”
Ye Qing remained silent.
Ye Guan smiled and said, “The Academy won’t target you two, so the both of you should participate. We’re talking about the Great Dao Destiny Aura here. You’ll profit tremendously if you manage to obtain such a thing.”
“I’m fine.” Ji Xuan shook her head.
Ye Guan was confused. “Why?”
Ji Xuan smiled and said, “I joined the contest to help you, not to fight for the Great Dao Destiny Aura.”
Ye Guan’s heart felt warm at the response.
“Thank you…” he muttered, slightly embarrassed.
“Why are you being so polite?” Ji Xuan shook her head and chuckled.
“Brother Ye Guan, I’d like to give it a shot!” said Ye Qing. “I want to try for the sake of the Ye Clan.”
Ye Guan smiled and responded, “You have a high chance of winning, but I’m not too sure about what’s going to happen to the contest. Anyway, just play it by ear.”
“All right!” Ye Qing replied.
Ji Xuan suddenly said, “I don’t think the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan will give up so easily.”
Ye Guan was silent. The An Clan!
His plain-skirt aunt had killed many powerhouses from the An Clan, but the An Clan still had powerful ancestors in the Main Guanxuan Academy. There was also that branch of the An Clan in Qingzhou.
They would definitely not give up so easily.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan had killed a monstrous talent of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan, and Ye Guan was sure that the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan’s pride wouldn’t take such a blow lying down.
Ji Xuan chimed in, “I don’t think that the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan are that much of an issue. Actually, I’m more worried about the Guanxuan Academy!”
Ye Guan turned to look at Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan explained, “You killed the Heavenly Dao of the Zhongtu Divine Continent! You committed a serious crime even throughout the Guanxuan Universe. After all, the spiritual energy of a world is closely tied to their Heavenly Dao.
”The Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Great Spiritual Energy Array has failed, so the spiritual energy of this world is dwindling rapidly.”
Ji Xuan’s expression turned complicated as she added, “You committed a much more serious crime than what I had committed!”
Ye Guan was silent. He was aware that he had committed a severe crime, but he had no regrets. Fuck! That Heavenly Dao didn’t even give me a chance to speak. I would have wronged myself if I hadn’t killed it.
If it had begged for forgiveness, admitted its mistake, or offered him a supreme spiritual treasure, he would have considered letting it go. However, it had even taunted him, saying that he wouldn’t dare to kill it!
Ye Guan reckoned that he would have died of fury if he hadn’t vented it out by killing the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Heavenly Dao. Fuck! I wouldn’t have killed you if you had simply offered me something!
Ye Qing suddenly asked, “Brother Ye Guan, what are your plans?”
Ye Guan went silent. He had been planning on visiting the Undying Clan to borrow the Qingxuan Sword to revive Little Jia, but it turned out that the Qingxuan Sword was no longer with the Undying Clan but with the Main Guanxuan Academy.
In other words, he had to go to the Main Guanxuan Academy, but…
Swoosh!
Academy Chief Gu Chaoyuan abruptly appeared in front of them.
His expression was complicated as he stared at Ye Guan.
He took a moment to compose himself before saying, “I’ve just received orders from the Main Guanxuan Academy. The Main Guanxuan Academy has issued a tenth-degree warrant for your arrest, but your killer will be rewarded with a million immortal spiritual crystals.”
A million immortal spiritual crystals!
Immortal spiritual crystals were extremely precious. They could be exchanged for gold spiritual crystals but not vice-versa.
Gu Chaoyuan added, “The format of the Great Dao Destiny Aura Contest has changed. Your killer will become the champion of the contest, and they will obtain three strands of the Great Dao Destiny Aura, which is triple the usual reward.
”I reckon that powerful talents throughout the entire universe will come here just to hunt you down. The age limit of the contest has also been changed from twenty-two to forty-five.
”In other words, monstrous talents from the previous generation can hunt you down as well.”
Ye Guan, Ye Qing, and Ji Xuan froze at Gu Chaoyuan’s words.
Little Pagoda was also at a loss for words.
