Chapter 208: Elite Swordsman
Everyone looked up and saw a little girl.
Two horns were sticking out of her head, and she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with floral prints. There were a few holes in her blue shorts, and she was pretty quite disheveled, but she still looked incredibly cute.
The animal prints on her white shoes only made her look cuter rather than childish.
The little girl was savoring her hawthorn candy. A white-furred animal sat on her shoulder, and it stared greedily at the candy in the little girl’s hands. Occasionally, it would lick its lips as though it was getting impatient to have a taste of it.
A woman wearing a white skirt was next to the little girl. The woman’s long hair draped over her shoulders. Her features were beautiful, and she was wielding a painted polearm.
Our reinforcements are only two people? Ye Guan was quite puzzled. At most, they could be considered two and a half people with that little white-furred animal on the little girl’s shoulder. Two and a half reinforcements? It was pretty sad.
An Nanjing pointed at Ye Guan and said, “Little White, protect this fellow. Erya, Weiran, time to fight.”
With that, An Nanjing dashed ahead, and the woman wearing a white skirt followed her lead. The little girl called Erya passed the hawthorn candy to the white-furred animal before charging.
Every inch of spacetime in her way was annihilated as she ran.
Ye Guan and everyone’s jaw fell to the floor.
What a powerful little girl!
The white-furred animal hovered in the air and carefully licked the hawthorn candy.
Just then, An Nanjing shouted, “Little White, protect him!”
Protect? Little White blinked in confusion. She[1] looked around, as though she was wondering who she was supposed to protect.
Ye Guan cried out, “It’s me!”
Little White turned and found Ye Guan pointing at himself.
“She asked you to protect me!”
Little White proceeded to examine Ye Guan. Blinking her eyes innocently, she flew to Ye Guan’s shoulder and used her claws to caress Ye Guan’s head.
Ye Guan was at a loss for words. Why am I being treated like a cat?
Ye Guan whipped around and found a spear sticking out of a Divine Sovereign’s head. The spear didn’t lose its power as it dragged the Divine Sovereign tens of thousands of kilometers away.
At the same time, Erya jumped forward. She sent a punch and sent two Divine Sovereigns flying at least ten kilometers away. Erya’s punch shredded the fleshly bodies of the two Divine Sovereigns, and their souls were on the brink of vanishing.
Ye Guan was completely taken aback. How scary!
On the other hand, the woman wearing a white skirt was fighting three Divine Sovereigns at once with her painted polearm. Surprisingly, the Divine Sovereigns were struggling to keep up with her.
Incredible! The cultivators of the Guanxuan Universe were shocked.
Their reinforcements were a mere two and a half, but each of them was incredibly powerful.
Ye Guan suddenly looked at the white-furred animal on his shoulder and asked, “Are you good at fighting, too?
Little White blinked her eyes. She swiped her tiny claws and took out two objects that looked like eggs. There was a button on the surface of the objects.
“Fuck!” Little Pagoda cursed under his breath, “Bombs…!”
“What is this?” Ye Guan asked Little White.
Little White smirked mischievously and handed the two eggs to Ye Guan.
Seeing Ye Guan accept the eggs, Little Pagoda hurriedly screamed, “You shouldn’t play with those! They’ll—”
Click!
Ye Guan pressed the button on one of the eggs.
Little White blinked its eyes rapidly, and she clawed out desperately at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was utterly confused. “What is she saying?”
Little Pagoda’s voice was trembling as he cried out, “Goodness! Throw it away!”
Ye Guan was stunned. Little White suddenly covered her eyes with her claws.
Boom!
A powerful explosion swept across the starry skies.
Ye Guan went flying under everyone’s shocked gazes.
Ye Guan eventually stopped, and he realized that he had become almost transparent. If the mysterious senior in the pagoda hadn’t protected him from the explosion just now, he would have perished both in body and soul.
Everyone stared fearfully at Little White. She wasn’t an enemy, right?
Ye Guan was shell-shocked. What was that?
It was the first time he felt so close to death.
Wu Lao suddenly appeared next to Ye Guan. He opened his palm, and a black box flew above Ye Guan's head. A pure spiritual energy flowed into Ye Guan and stabilized him.
Everyone on Ye Guan’s side heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Guan looked at Little White. She looked completely innocent, and she waved her claws frantically.
Ye Guan asked, “Master Pagoda, what is she saying?”
Little Pagoda replied, “She’s asking why you didn’t throw the bomb right away.”
Ye Guan was at a complete loss for words.
There was no way he could have known that Little White would give him the real deal. The explosion was so strong that it almost annihilated his soul. Ye Guan felt a shiver down his spine at the thought of how he had almost died just now
Little White swiped her claws again, and an egg-shaped object as huge as a watermelon appeared.
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.
Meanwhile, everyone else hurriedly backed away with grim expressions.
Little White used her claws and pointed at the egg. Her expression was inscrutable, but she seemed to be smiling.
Staring at Little White with a wary light in his eyes, Ye Guan asked, “Master Pagoda, can you tell me what she’s saying?”
Little Pagoda calmly said, “That thing is apparently even stronger than the one you used earlier. It says that it can annihilate a chunk of an entire universe, and she’s asking if you want to use it.”
Ye Guan was completely stunned. “Seriously?”
“She probably didn’t expect that you’d be so weak.” Little Pagoda pointed out.
Kaboom!
A deafening explosion echoed in the distance.
A powerful shockwave made a beeline for Ye Guan.
Ruler An glared murderously at Ye Guan. The attack had come from her. An Nanjing and the two girls were simply too strong for the Divine Sovereigns to beat, so she decided to take advantage of a momentary lull to kill Ye Guan.
It was now or never!
Ye Guan frowned at the oncoming Ruler An.
Ruler An was slightly stronger than a Divine Sovereign, so she was a force to be reckoned with.
Meanwhile, he only had… Ye Guan turned to look at Little White.
Little White jumped in surprise and immediately hid behind Ye Guan. She covered her face with her claws.
Ye Guan had a mental breakdown. Wasn’t she supposed to protect him?
Who was protecting whom from what now?
Little Pagoda urgently cried out, “Little White, attack her! You can beat her!”
Little White blinked in confusion. Then, she pressed the button on the egg-shaped object the size of a watermelon before closing her eyes tightly.
“Fuck!” Everyone screamed and retreated as far as possible.
Ye Guan’s expression fell. Fuck, is she really my ally?
Little Pagoda turned into a beam of golden light and dashed in front of Ye Guan.
“Everyone, run!” he shouted frantically before running away with Ye Guan and Little White in tow.
Everyone had seen what happened earlier, so even though they didn’t exactly know the identity of the egg-shaped object, they were aware that it was dangerous.
Unfortunately, Ruler An was none the wiser. She flew across the starry skies and soon arrived in front of the egg-shaped object the size of a watermelon. It was quivering violently, and Ruler An frowned upon seeing it.
In the end, she punched the egg-shaped object.
BOOM!
A cataclysmic explosion occurred, sending shockwaves to every corner of the starry skies. The explosion created a mystical mushroom cloud of smoke. Spacetime was annihilated, and the entire Guanxuan Universe quivered at the explosion.
Ruler An was in a daze. The explosion had sent her flying away, and her fleshly body was reduced to what looked like a dirty, bloodied rag.
What was that? The cultivators of the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion were shocked. Just what was that?
Ye Guan glanced at Little White. Little White blinked and swung her claws around, seemingly in joy.
All eyes were on Little White as she took out two more egg-shaped objects the size of a watermelon.
Everyone frantically scrambled to safety at the horrifying sight.
Ye Guan decisively left Little White’s side and ran as far away as he could from her.
Goodness! She’s going to kill us all!
Little White was surprised by everyone’s reaction. She stared at Ye Guan for quite a while before giggling innocently. She was extremely cute, but Ye Guan didn’t know what to say as he stared at Little White. This is absurd!
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed, and it was soon replaced by deafening silence.
Everyone whipped around and saw that Erya had killed a Divine Sovereign with a punch.
It hadn’t even been fifteen minutes since they arrived, but they had already killed a few Divine Sovereigns.
Furthermore, the Divine Sovereigns had come here with their real fleshly body and souls rather than their avatars. The remaining Divine Sovereigns were smart, and they had decided not to face the girls head-on. However, they were still akin to sitting ducks before the three girls.
Ruler An noticed what was happening, and she immediately frowned.
The three girls had completely suppressed the Divine Sovereigns. At this rate, the Divine Sovereigns would soon be annihilated.
However, Ruler An was reluctant to give up. She had a feeling that if Ye Guan survived today’s events, he would become a massive headache to the True World later down the road.
Ruler An’s blood boiled with murderous intent as she glared at Ye Guan in the distance.
“Where are the Divine Dusk Guards?” she asked.
The reinforcements she had summoned had to arrive sooner rather than later, or it was only a matter of time before they were defeated. They only stood a chance if their reinforcements were here.
A black-robed old man flew toward Ruler An and said, “Ruler An, we have to retreat.”
“Retreat?! What are you talking about?!” Ruler An asked fiercely.
The black-robed old man said, “The fight has dragged on for too long, and our people in the Xuzhen World can’t hold on any longer. The Great Sword Sovereigns in the Xuzhen World will soon be here, and the Divine Spirits in this universe will all perish if we stay here any longer.”
Ruler An went silent as she clenched her fists tightly.
The black-robed old man sighed and said, “We’ve failed…”
Ruler An quietly glared at Ye Guan in the distance.
“Do the higher-ups know his identity?”
The black-robed old man nodded and said, “They know…”
Ruler An’s eyes narrowed, and she questioned, “Why did they not mobilize everything just to kill him?”
The black-robed old man was silent.
Ruler An demanded, “Tell me!”
The black-robed old man could only say, “Ruler An, they have more people.”
“They have more people? What do you mean?” asked Ruler An.
The black-robed old man nodded. His expression was heavy as he explained, “They have an elite swordsman who has stopped thirty-six Divine Dusk Guards by himself. She even killed quite a few of them…”
Ruler An’s pupils constricted in disbelief.
An individual was standing toe-to-toe against a dozen Divine Dusk Guards at the same time, and he had even killed quite a few of them?
Ruler An’s face flushed red from anger. She glared at Ye Guan and shouted, “Just how many people are you relying on?! Are you the king of relying on others?!”
Ye Guan pondered for a while before replying, “Well, I actually had no idea that I had so many powerful relatives until now…”
Ruler An’s chest tightened, and she almost vomited a mouthful of blood out of frustration.
