Chapter 188: Unhappy?
Everyone was stupefied, and even the stoic disciples of the Sword Sect were no exception. They truly didn’t expect that Lu Tian managed to establish contracts with three divine demonic beasts. It was a completely unprecedented outcome.
While the Sword Sect was still stewing in disbelief, Lu Tian’s supporters went crazy in excitement.
They screamed at the top of their lungs and cheered. How could Lu Tian lose when he was under the protection of three divine demonic beasts? It was impossible for him to lose at this point.
They yelled incessantly to assuage the excitement in their hearts.
Ye Guan looked up and saw a divine demonic beast in front of him.
It was the Sky-Splitting Tiger! Its entire body was white, and it was covered in white scales. It had two horns and two pairs of wings. Its claws were long, and they were as sharp as knives. Its claws alone gave off an icy cold aura.
These were the claws that had shattered the Ancient Heavenly Dragon’s protective armor. However, the outcome of the exchange earlier didn’t come as a surprise to anyone when they saw that the ambusher was the Sky-Splitting Tiger.
After all, the Sky-Splitting Tiger’s offensive prowess was the highest among the four divine demonic beasts. The Sky-Splitting Tiger glared at Ye Guan with ferocity and fury, seemingly wanting to devour him whole.
Meanwhile, a thousand-meter-long flaming Vermilion Bird hovered in the air.
It was covered in blood-red flames, and every flap of its wings was strong enough to destroy the space that the array around the Life or Death Stage had been repairing incessantly.
The Vermillion Bird’s appearance also raised the ambient temperature by at least ten times. The intense heat made quite a few people feel suffocated, and the space inside the Life or Death Stage warped and distorted beneath the intense heat.
Ao Qianqian appeared next to Ye Guan. Her expression was grim as she stared at the three divine demonic beasts. She truly didn’t expect that the remaining three great demonic beast clans had actually chosen to support Lu Tian!
Ao Qianqian stared at Lu Tian and frowned. Is he really the Sword Master’s son? If that weren’t the case, how come they decided to follow him?
“Lady Qianqian,” Ye Guan called out.
Ao Qianqian turned to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled and pointed out. “It doesn’t seem right to ask you to back out at this point, so… are you willing to fight them with me?”
“Of course!” The corners of Ao Qianqian’s lips curled up. The Sword Master’s son? So what if Lu Tian is indeed the Sword Master’s son? Ao Qianqian’s opinion of him wouldn’t change. In addition, your parents’ glory doesn’t belong to you!
Ao Qianqian was a monstrous talent herself, and she had her own pride. I don’t give a flying fuck even if you’re the Sword Master’s son; if I don’t like you, then I don’t like you, that’s it!
Ye Guan grinned at Ao Qianqian’s words before turning to look at Lu Tian.
Lu Tian was currently surrounded by three divine demonic beasts.
In everyone’s opinion, Lu Tian’s victory was sealed. He had the protection of three divine demonic beasts, and each of them was an Immortal-rank demonic beast as well, so how could he possibly lose?
Lu Tian stared at Ye Guan. He chuckled lightly and said, “Let’s continue!”
Ye Guan glanced at Ao Qianqian.
Ao Qianqian smiled and walked up to face Ye Guan.
Ye Guan froze and went silent.
A mischievous light flashed in Ao Qianqian’s eyes upon seeing Ye Guan’s nervous expression. She leaned in closer to him and pressed her forehead against his forehead. This wasn’t the first time it happened, but Ye Guan still felt slightly uneasy.
Ye Guan’s uneasy and awkward expression made Ao Qianqian fall for him even harder. Ye Guan had no idea that the contract between them allowed Ao Qianqian to feel Ye Guan’s feelings.
And Ao Qianqian had discovered that Ye Guan had no ill intentions toward her at all, and it was an undeniable fact that made her love him even more.
Swoosh!
Ao Qianqian turned into a beam of light that melted into Ye Guan’s glabella.
Ye Guan looked up at the Sky-Splitting Tiger.
A look of disdain flashed past the Sky-Splitting Tiger's eyes as it taunted, “You tiny ant, what are you looking at?”
Ye Guan merely smiled before taking a step forward.
Schwing!
Spacetime was torn apart, and a sword flew toward the Sky-Splitting Tiger.
The Tiger roared with fury and sent its claw toward the oncoming sword. It had decided to confront Ye Guan’s sword head-on!
It was one of the four divine demonic beasts, so how could it be afraid of a mere human?
However, Ye Guan followed up by sending nine blades toward the Sky-Splitting Tiger. It was a move that was supposed to be difficult, but Ye Guan had executed it as smoothly as flowing water, which took him by surprise.
The power of his attack had increased exponentially, and it was all thanks to Ao Qianqian allowing him to tap into her cultivation base.
The phrase about how work would become lighter if men and women worked together was indeed true.
The Sky-Splitting Tiger noticed something off. It squinted its eyes and tried to retreat, but it was too late for it to retreat! It could only do its best against the oncoming attack.
Ultimate Sword!
Rumble!
Ye Guan’s sword collided with the Sky-Splitting Tiger’s claws.
Ping!
The Sky-Splitting Tiger’s claw shattered upon impact. However, Dragon’s Roar also turned into fine powder.
Dragon’s Roar failed to withstand Ye Guan’s might, just like the Sky-Splitting Tiger’s claws. However, the Sky-Splitting Tiger itself was injured from the collision as well. It was stupefied, and it wanted to retreat, but Ye Guan was already next to it.
Ye Guan lifted his leg and kicked the Sky-Splitting Tiger in the head.
Boom!
The Sky-Splitting Tiger’s face was buried into the ground. Ye Guan appeared next to it and pointed his sword at the Sky-Splitting Tiger’s head. He sneered at it and mocked, “Why are you so unhappy, kitten? I did nothing but look at you earlier.”
The Sky-Splitting Tiger roared with fury.
Ye Guan thrust his sword and pierced the Sky-Splitting Tiger’s throat.
The Sky-Splitting Tiger’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Impudent!” A furious roar echoed from the depths of the starry skies. A rift in space appeared above Trial Peak, and the illusory figure of a Sky-Splitting Tiger came out of it.
There was no doubting it; the illusory figure was a powerhouse of the Sky-Splitting Tiger Clan!
The onlookers were shocked.
What is this Sky-Splitting Tiger doing here? Is it trying to interfere with the battle?
Chen Guanzi stepped forward and appeared right in front of the Sky-Splitting Tiger. He looked at it and said, “I’ll kill whoever dares to play dirty tricks against my junior brother!”
The group of swordsmen behind Chen Guanzi glared murderously at the Sky-Splitting Tiger.
The Sky-Splitting Tiger’s face turned ugly. It looked at Ye Guan and said, “Ye Guan, my Sky-Splitting Tiger Clan wishes to pull out of the battle between you and the Chosen One. As for my grandson, please—”
Shwik!
Ye Guan thrust the sword in his right hand into the Sky-Splitting Tiger’s neck before annihilating its soul. He then looked up at the Sky-Splitting Tiger in the skies and said, “You should produce another grandson.”
The onlookers were dumbstruck. What?
The powerhouse Sky-Splitting Tiger stared wide-eyed at the scene of laughter. Moments later, a terrifying aura gushed out of it.
Chen Guanzi suddenly stepped out and slashed out with his sword.
Rumble!
Both heaven and earth were split open as the Sky-Splitting Tiger flew at least a thousand meters away upon taking the brunt of Chen Guanzi’s sword move.
Chen Guanzi glared at the Sky-Splitting Tiger and said, “Take another step, and you’ll die. I’ll massacre your entire clan afterward.”
The Sky-Splitting Tiger grimaced.
Was it still going to make a move? Of course it wouldn’t make a move!
However, it wasn’t exactly because the Sword Sect had threatened him. There were simply far too many eyes watching the battle, and the Sky-Splitting Clan was bound to attract everyone’s ire if they were to interfere with the fight.
The Sky-Splitting Tiger glared coldly at Ye Guan.
It glanced at Chen Guanzi before saying, “Let me retrieve my grandson’s corpse—”
Swoosh!
The Sky-Splitting Tiger’s carcass vanished into Ye Guan’s storage ring.
The onlookers were dumbstruck.
Ye Guan smirked at the Sky-Splitting Tiger and said, “Fat chance!”
“You impudent—” The Sky-Splitting Tiger couldn’t complete its sentence. It went silent and glared murderously at Ye Guan. In the end, it turned around to leave.
Ye Guan turned to look at the Divine Xuanwu.
The Divine Xuanwu and the Vermilion Bird’s eyes were tinged with fear!
Ye Guan’s sword move just now was simply too terrifying!
However, Ye Guan didn’t attack immediately. He walked to a certain spot and opened his palm. The fragments of Dragon’s Roar flew into his hands. He looked down at it and muttered, “I will put you back together in the future!”
The fragments shook slightly in his hands, seemingly reacting to his words.
Ye Guan put the fragments away and turned to look at Lu Tian.
“Let’s go!” he shouted and abruptly disappeared into a ray of sword light that raced across the stage toward Lu Tian.
He had truly become even stronger after establishing a contract with Ao Qianqian, but it wasn’t just his strength that had increased exponentially; he had also gotten fast enough to shatter spacetime with his speed alone!
Lu Tian’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the speeding Ye Guan.
The Divine Xuanwu roared, “Immovable Mountain!”
Boom!
A golden tortoise shell manifested and protected both Lu Tian and the Divine Xuanwu. Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird swooped down to attack, causing chaos as the intense heat it radiated melted even space itself.
Ye Guan finally reached the golden tortoise shell, and a terrifying aura erupted from him as he released ten swords at the same time targeting only one spot.
It was the Critical Method!
BOOM! Cracks appeared all over the golden tortoise shell at the moment of collision.
However, Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet. He thrust his sword once more, destroying the golden tortoise shell. Unfortunately, the golden tortoise shell bought enough time for the Vermillion Bird as it swooped down for the kill!
Ye Guan looked up and thrust his sword forward.
The Vermilion Bird was sent flying away from the exchange, and Ye Guan wasn’t planning on letting such an opportunity go to waste. He mobilized all ten swords to use the Critical Method.
Shwik!
The unfortunate Vermilion Bird still hadn’t recovered from the impact of the exchange when ten swords struck its head at the same time, causing its head to explode into a bloody mist.
The onlookers stared agape!
A divine demonic beast died… just like that?
The ten swords returned to Ye Guan, but they flew once more and targeted the Divine Xuanwu. The Divine Xuanwu’s pupils constricted. It could instinctively feel that it wasn’t sturdy enough to withstand Ye Guan’s ten swords!
Lu Tian finally made a move. He raised his right hand, and a terrifying, inscrutable force abruptly engulfed his vicinity.
Boom!
Ye Guan’s ten swords slowed down dramatically.
Tiny Great Dao runes could be seen orbiting Lu Tian.
It was a domain! A Dao Domain!
The onlookers had just picked their jaws off of the floor, but their jaws dropped to the floor once more. Lu Tian could also use a Dao Domain in addition to his extremely high cultivation base.
Ye Guan waved his sleeve, and his ten swords returned to him.
Ye Guan stared deeply at Lu Tian.
Lu Tian smiled and was about to say something, but Ye Guan beat him to the chase. “The Sky-Splitting Tiger and the Vermillion Bird wouldn’t have perished if you had just revealed your Dao Domain earlier.”
Lu Tian’s smile stiffened.
The onlookers and Lu Tian’s supporters glanced at each other upon realizing that something was wrong.
