Chapter 511: They Have To Give Me Face!
Everyone was shocked, and it was all because the attacker was none other than the Great Sword Sovereign. The Great Sword Sovereign moved extremely fast and reached the figure in black in a second. Then, she swung her sword toward the figure in black.
Bam!
The figure in black was blasted several tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Everyone was confused.
The Great Sword Sovereign stared at the figure in black with an icy expression; her eyes shone murderously as she roared, "Who asked you to ambush him?! Who?!"
The figure in black solemnly replied, "Great Sword Sovereign, our goal is to kill him!"
The Great Sword Sovereign walked up to the figure in black, and her eyes revealed a frigid killing intent. "I said I'll fight him alone."
Before the figure in black could say anything, the Great Sword Sovereign rushed forward, slashing out with her colossal sword.
The figure in black was horrified. He raised his hands, and an array of black lights surged out from within him.
Boom!
As the colossal sword came crashing down, the black light around the figure in black shattered, and he was blasted tens of thousands of meters away. Just as he came to a stop, the Great Sword Sovereign charged at him with her sword.
Bang!
The Great Sword Sovereign slashed out, and the figure in black exploded into a bloody mist. His soul was annihilated as well.
The onlookers were terrified.
The Great Sword Sovereign was truly domineering.
After killing the figure in black with a single sword strike, the Great Sword Sovereign swept her gaze coldly at the onlookers. "I'm going to fight him by myself. If anyone else interferes, I will treat them as my enemy, and I'm going to kill them."
With that said, she turned to Ye Guan and said, "I'll give you half an hour to heal."
Ye Guan glanced at the Great Sword Sovereign before nodding without hesitation. He then sat down cross-legged to absorb spiritual energy in the air as the Divine Tree of Nature patched him up.
The Great Sword Sovereign stood opposite Ye Guan, holding her colossal sword with an icy expression.
Silence descended upon the crowd. They didn't agree entirely with the Great Sword Sovereign's actions. Their goal was to kill Ye Guan, not to fight him one by one. In addition, the Great Sword Sovereign seemed to be struggling to kill Ye Guan.
However, no one dared to confront the Great Sword Sovereign.
After all, she was far stronger than the majority of them! The other Sovereigns also wouldn't antagonize her over such a small matter, as Ye Guan wouldn't be able to escape under their watch.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Guan finally stood up with his eyes still closed. The Mad Demon Bloodline and his third bloodline were still fighting inside him, and they were still growing even stronger.
The Mad Demon Bloodline hadn't been able to take the upper hand, as it needed Ye Guan to go completely mad for it to awaken completely.
Meanwhile, the third bloodline had no prerequisites, so it was growing stronger at a faster pace compared to the Mad Demon Bloodline.
Ye Guan took a deep breath. He didn't suppress the two bloodline powers within him, but it wasn't like he could actually suppress them. The only way he could assuage the impact of the two bloodlines on his soul and fleshly body was by fighting.
Ye Guan looked up at the Great Sword Sovereign in the distance and saw that she was looking at him as well. They didn't waste any words; both vanished into thin air at the same time.
Buzz!
Buzzing noises echoed throughout heaven and earth as the two exchanged multiple moves at once. Deafening explosions erupted, and dozens of shockwaves spread out, pushing back the nearby cultivators.
Ye Guan and the Great Sword Sovereign were sent flying.
Ye Guan had yet to stop when he saw a colossal sword descending toward him.
Ye Guan's figure became ethereal just then, executing Heavenrend with two Space Overlaps! A kaleidoscope of sword lights erupted, and they converged at one point, bursting open with force comparable to a tempestuous typhoon!
Bang!
The sword lights shattered; Ye Guan and the Great Sword Sovereign flew away upon impact! Their powerful sword intent billowed out of them as they retreated, and their sword intent was as sharp as swords, slicing through every inch of spacetime in their way.
The Time Reversers nearby dared not to approach them!
After coming to a stop, Ye Guan looked down at his numb right arm.
"How powerful" Ye Guan muttered as he stared at the Great Sword Sovereign in the distance. Her sword was awe-inspiring, and each strike carried a power capable of sundering the heavens. If it weren't for Ao Qianqian, Ye Guan would have lost long ago against the Great Sword Sovereign.
Ye Guan truly couldn't quite believe that even with the power of his two bloodlines, his fleshly body still couldn't withstand the Great Sword Sovereign's attacks unless Ao Qianqian was merged with him.
The Great Sword Sovereign cast a shocked gaze upon Ye Guan. Ye Guan's strength had increased by leaps and bounds. She couldn't help but marvel at how the awakening of Ye Guan's bloodline had brought about such a massive change.
The two exchanged glances with no words spoken
Swoosh!
Ye Guan's figure transformed into a streak of sword light that rushed across the battlefield.
The Great Sword Sovereign's eyes narrowed. Then, she quietly stepped forward and gripped her sword with both hands before slashing out.
Boom!
The overwhelming sword force within her burst out, sweeping toward Ye Guan like a raging river!
Ye Guan flew away, cutting a sorry figure in mid-air.
However, the Great Sword Sovereign charged forward once again. She swung her colossal sword at lightning speed, and it carried with it sharp winds akin to a violent storm, leaving Ye Guan with no chance to catch his breath.
Ye Guan felt immense pressure from the oncoming attack. The woman wielding a colossal sword was truly a terrifying supreme elite. Ao Qianqian was supporting him, but he still found her to be quite overwhelming.
However, Ye Guan noticed that his third bloodline was surging rapidly, and it was growing stronger as he fought the Great Sword Sovereign! The third bloodline also contained a mysterious power that seemed to be reforming his fleshly body.
Unfortunately, the battle was too intense for Ye Guan to pay attention to such minute details. He also couldn't afford to think too much into it, as the Great Sword Sovereign didn't want to give him any time to breathe.
Of course, Ye Guan wasn't going to think about it as well; he was focused on something elsethe sensation of an imminent breakthrough.
The fight between Ye Guan and the Great Sword Sovereign grew increasingly intense; each collision annihilated the spacetime around them.
The Great Sword Sovereign seemed to have become a lunatic as she haphazardly swung her colossal sword at Ye Guan. The powerful strikes made Ye Guan bounce as if he were a ball. The Great Sword Sovereign was like a massive storm at sea, and Ye Guan was like a kayak in the boundless ocean. Despite that, he remained steadfast.
He was growing even stronger as well!
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign frowned. "The tides are turning."
The Warlord Sovereign's expression was grave. Although the Great Sword Sovereign was overwhelming Ye Guan with the sheer power and speed of her attacks, her swordsmanship had already reached its peak. She had already reached her limits, and she could only surpass that limit with a breakthrough.
Could she make a breakthrough during this fight? It was highly unlikely.
After all, for a top-tier supreme elite like the Great Sword Sovereign to go even further beyond was akin to overturning the heavens, which was exceptionally difficult.
If the Great Sword Sovereign failed to make a breakthrough, Ye Guan would inevitably defeat her as the latter was growing stronger by the second.
The Warlord Sovereign suddenly asked, "Shall we make a move?"
They had a huge chance of slaying Ye Guan once they made a move.
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign shook his head. "Let's wait a bit more. Ye Guan can't escape us, anyway."
If they were to interfere prematurely, it'd mean antagonizing the Great Sword Sovereign.
If she were alone, there'd be nothing to worry about. However, the Great Sword Sovereign had a powerful backer, so forming a vendetta with her wasn't a worthwhile endeavor at all.
The Warlord Sovereign nodded at the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign's remark and went silent. At this point, neither of them wanted to become enemies with the Great Sword Sovereign.
Just then, a terrifying burst of sword light erupted from afar, and a sword light struck Ye Guan in the chest. Ye Guan flew as if he were a kite with its strings cut. As soon as he stopped, blood dripped down the corner of his mouth.
The Great Sword Sovereign took to the air and slashed downward, aiming to split Ye Guan's head into two. Ye Guan's eyes narrowed, and he slashed out fiercely with his sword.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was blasted thousands of meters away.
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign's face immediately darkened. The Great Sword Sovereign's momentum was slowing down. The tide was about to turn! Sure enough, Ye Guan charged forward and slashed out toward the Great Sword Sovereign.
Bang!
The two of them flew in opposite directions. Before the Great Sword Sovereign could stop, however, Ye Guan reappeared in front of her. A radiant sword light erupted, blinding everyone briefly.
When they opened their eyes once more, the Great Sword Sovereign had been blasted a few kilometers away.
The faces of the Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers darkened at the sight.
The tables were about to turn!
As expected, Ye Guan took advantage of that opportunity. He attacked the Great Sword Sovereign like a madman, forcing the Great Sword Sovereign to retreat beneath his flurry of attacks.
The Great Sword Sovereign turned pale. Her colossal sword was no longer as fierce and as domineering as before, and she could only defend passively.
However, the Great Sword Sovereign's eyes emitted the same fierce light.
Just like that, Ye Guan forced the Great Sword Sovereign to defend passively for more than thirty minutes.
The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers revealed ugly looks upon discovering that Ye Guan's sword energy had become several times stronger than before.
Ye Guan was a monster of combat!
It had to be known that monsters of combat were capable of growing stronger after each battle and during a battle. A monster of combat was terrifying, as they were capable of bestowing surprises on their enemies in a long, drawn-out battle.
"This is bad!" the Baixiang Sovereign exclaimed. The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers stared unwittingly at Ye Guan and the Great Sword Sovereign. The latter was still being suppressed, but her sword energy was no longer as fierce and as rigid as before; it had become soft and flexible like water!
The Baixiang Sovereign stared intently at the Great Sword Sovereign. "She's about to make a breakthrough!"
A breakthrough?! The Heavenly Yuan Sovereign and the Time Reversers gasped.
The Great Sword Sovereign was already a Sovereign. If she ended up making a breakthrough, thenBoom!
A gargantuan sword force blossomed from the Great Sword Sovereign, and everyone was shocked to discover that her sword force was going through a qualitative change. She was about to make a breakthrough!
"We're screwed!" Little Pagoda shouted, "Young Master! How about we ask for help? If you're afraid of going against your principles, it's okay. I'll ask for help. I'm not trying to brag here, but even the Five Swords will have to give me face."
