Chapter 41: Like
Die! Ye Guan dashed like a hurricane, and a dagger appeared in his hands. The two months that Ye Guan had spent in the trial tower had increased his speed dramatically, and even Sky-rank demons were no longer his match in the speed department.
Ye Guan dashed and decapitated one of the barbarians, sending the latter’s head rolling on the ground. However, Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet. He charged at another barbarian, and another head was soon rolling on the ground.
Ye Guan seemed like he was possessed, and the barbarians could hardly track him with their eyes. Miserable cries continued to echo, and the bearded man on the ground stared blankly at the sight.
Damn it! The bearded man realized that he had been fooled. The information he had received about Ye Guan wasn’t accurate at all. He’s not an ordinary Spacetime Realm cultivator!
The bearded man’s heart started to ache.
Meanwhile, another barbarian collapsed to the ground.
The bearded man hurriedly shouted, “Stop! This is a misunderstanding—”
“Shut up!” Nalan Jia stepped on his mouth and said, “Don’t interrupt him. Let him enjoy his killing spree. I like seeing him kill!”
The bearded man was rendered speechless.
More barbarians had fallen while Nalan Jia and the bearded man were talking. In the blink of an eye, there were already over a hundred corpses. The barbarians were terrified at the realization that so many of their clansmen had perished.
The fact that they hadn’t caught even a glimpse of the culprit made the scene even more terrifying. The members of the Barbarian Clan were powerful, and their attacks were impactful. Unfortunately, speed had never been their forte!
“The king is dead! Run! We have to live!” a barbarian roared upon seeing the bearded man on the ground. With that, the barbarian turned around and fled the scene.
“What?! Damn it, I’m still alive!” the bearded man roared with wide eyes. However, the barbarians ignored him and fled.
Ye Guan finally came to a halt. He felt hot, and he finally noticed that the dagger in his hand was emitting a faint red glow.
Ye Guan was nervous.
“Master Pagoda, why does it feel like my blood is boiling?” asked Ye Guan.
Little Pagoda said, “I think you’re just intoxicated from the slaughter.”
Ye Guan’s expression froze.
Little Pagoda continued. “Your blood isn’t boiling, but it’s normal to be agitated the first time you conduct a slaughter like this. You’ll be fine after some rest.”
Ye Guan hesitated, but he still nodded in the end.
Little Pagoda breathed a sigh of relief. Its voice echoed throughout the tiny pagoda as it said, “It’s a good thing that his bloodline didn’t awaken here. Things would have gotten dangerous. I don’t think that even the two of us can suppress him.”
“Guide him. Make sure that he becomes a good person,” said the mysterious voice.
“Good person, your head!” Little Pagoda retorted. “If he hadn’t made a move, I would have given up on him. We’re not here to guide a softie. However, if his grandfather were here rather than him, the demons in this mountain range would have been annihilated.”
“What if his father were here?” asked the mysterious voice.
Little Pagoda seemed like it was hesitating as it said, “It depends on the situation. At the very least, he would act like Ye Guan and kill those demons before stopping at some point. However, he could also wipe out all life on the Upper Realm…”
The mysterious voice was dumbfounded by the revelation.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan walked over to the bearded man.
The bearded man was terrified of Ye Guan. He was about to speak, but Ye Guan beat him to the chase.
“Was it the Profound Sky Clan? Did they send you to kill me and Little Jia?” he asked.
The bearded man stared with wide eyes at Ye Guan and asked, “How did you know?”
Ye Guan remained calm as he explained, “The Profound Sky Clan is our only enemy on the Upper Realm, so who else could it be other than them?”
The bearded man’s voice turned solemn as he said, “I have spiritual treasures. Spare me, and I will give—”
Ye Guan abruptly slit the bearded man’s throat.
Splash!
The bearded man’s blood spurted and stained the ground crimson. He stared at Ye Guan with eyes dyed in despair.
Ye Guan took the bearded man’s storage ring and said, “I can just kill you, and your treasures will belong to me.”
The bearded man couldn’t speak anymore.
Ye Guan examined the storage ring and was stunned by the sight. The bearded man’s storage ring contained two Sky-grade demonic beast internal pills, sixty thousand gold spiritual crystals, and a few lower-grade demonic beast internal pills.
Ye Guan was delighted. The two Sky-grade demonic beast internal pills could be sold for over two hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals.
In other words, the combined market value of the items in the storage ring was a whopping three hundred thousand gold spiritual crystals.
Three hundred thousand… What a great profit! Ye Guan hurriedly spoke, “Master Pagoda, can you teach me the Entrapment Technique?”
Little Pagoda was speechless.
Meanwhile, Nalan Jia walked over to Ye Guan and took out a handkerchief before gently wiping the blood off Ye Guan’s face.
Ye Guan froze right there and then. The two of them were standing so close to each other that Ye Guan was basking in Nalan Jia’s fragrance.
Ye Guan fell into a daze while staring at the beautiful Nalan Jia.
Nalan Jia muttered, “You don’t have to get angry the next time someone says something like that. I don’t really care about what they say.”
Ye Guan shook his head and explained, “They can insult me, but I will not let them go if they insult you!”
Nalan Jia smiled. “What if someone stronger than you insulted me? What will you do?”
Ye Guan went silent. However, it didn’t take him long to answer, “If I can’t beat them, so be it. It doesn’t matter even if they beat me to a pulp; I’ll fight those who will insult you.”
“Can you just take a step back? Endure it, and things will soon return to normal,” said Nalan Jia.
However, Ye Guan shook his head and said, “If I have to put up with someone who has insulted the person I like, then why am I even cultivating? I didn’t become a swordsman to be like a tortoise.”
Nalan Jia stared deeply at Ye Guan.
“Someone you like? Do you like me?” she asked, seemingly startled.
Ye Guan saw Nalan Jia’s astonishment, and he hesitated before asking, “Is it not okay?”
Nalan Jia froze. She shook her head and explained, “I was just surprised.”
She then held Ye Guan’s hand before continuing to wipe the blood off Ye Guan’s face.
“Is this your first time doing this to a man?” asked Ye Guan.
“This is the second time,” replied Nalan Jia.
Ye Guan froze over.
Nalan Jia noticed that and explained, “My father was beaten to a pulp, and I helped him wipe the blood off of his face. Why? Is there something wrong with that?”
Ye Guan grinned. “No, of course not! You did the right thing!”
Nalan Jia shook her head and smiled. “You dumbo...”
Ye Guan smiled. He took out half of the items he had obtained from the bearded man’s storage ring and handed them to Nalan Jia.
“You should keep them for yourself,” said Nalan Jia. Ye Guan was a cultivation maniac, and he needed a ton of resources to support his cultivation.
Ye Guan shook his head and explained, “Your physique is unique. I’m sure you need a lot of cultivation resources.”
“It’s not—” Nalan Jia started.
However, Ye Guan interrupted her by shoving the items into her arms.
“We’ll take half. That’s it,” said Ye Guan.
“Okay.” Nalan Jia smiled.
She could only accept the items and store them in her storage ring.
Rumble!
The ground suddenly trembled, stopping Ye Guan and Nalan Jia in their tracks.
The pair turned and saw a thirty-meter-tall demonic beast running in their direction. The demonic beast was a few kilometers away from them, but the pair could already feel the demon’s powerful aura.
Nalan Jia sounded solemn as she said, “I think that’s a half-step Imperial-rank demonic beast!”
Ye Guan’s expression fell, and he shouted.
Nalan Jia nodded.
The pair were about to run away, but Nalan Jia noticed something and pointed. “Look!”
Ye Guan turned and saw a man running in front of the demonic beast.
The man was none other than Siao Ge.
Siao Ge was ecstatic to see them, and he started shouting like crazy, “Brother Ye, help me! Help meee! Damn it! Come here and save me!”
However, Ye Guan grabbed Nalan Jia’s arm and turned around to run.
Siao Ge was stunned. His voice was trembling as he shouted, “Brother Ye… my beloved brother! It’s me, brother! It’s me, your brother Siao Ge!”
