Chapter 530: Fighting Among Themselves!
The light dome had shattered!
Elder Feng's face changed drastically as he shouted, "Prepare for battle!"
Elder Feng's voice had yet to finish echoing in the air when the arrays within Guanxuan City came to life. The next moment, powerful auras took the sky, and the combined might of the powerful auras made the entire star field tremble ever so slightly.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan and Ye Qingqing turned to look at the crimson vortex in the distance. A man emerged slowly from the vortex. He was dressed in a robe that seemed woven from blood due to its eerie red hue. The man's hair was extremely long, reaching down to his feet, and his eyes were a peculiar deep brown color.
Ye Guan judged him to be a Gui Clan member, but Ye Guan frowned immediately afterward. Just one? He's alone?
When the man in the crimson robe's gaze landed on Ye Guan standing on the city wall, he grinned sinisterly and vanished in a ray of crimson light that made a beeline for Ye Guan.
He's actually decided to attack me the moment he saw me? How decisive! Ye Guan praised inwardly. He took on a stance and was about to attack when Ye Qingqing vanished into thin air and reappeared in front of the man in the crimson robe with her sword drawn.
Buzz!
A resonant sword hum rang out.
Clang!
The man in the crimson robe was forced backward by Ye Qingqing's sword. After coming to a stop, the man in the crimson robe looked down at his right hand and saw a deep sword wound.
The man in the crimson robe was a bit shocked as he looked up at Ye Qingqing.
"A swordsman?" he muttered.
Ye Qingqing didn't bother speaking and simply raised her sword, slashing down with it.
Clang!
The man in the crimson robe flew a few kilometers away upon getting hit.
The attack had kicked up a huge cloud of dust, and when it dissipated, Ye Guan was astonished to find a chasm spanning thousands of meters right in front of Ye Qingqing.
Meanwhile, the man in the crimson robe's face became extremely ferocious. He glared fiercely at Ye Qingqing and growled, "You've successfully angered me! I—"
Swoosh!
Ye Qingqing raised her sword and vanished.
Woosh!
A tiny spacetime rift instantly manifested next to the man in the crimson robe and out came a ray of sword light.
The man in the crimson robe's pupils constricted. He clenched his hands tightly and raised his right foot. Blood gushed out of him, and his blood quickly created a shield above him.
Ye Qingqing's sword finally landed.
Clang!
The blood shield shattered with a loud noise, and the man in the crimson robe was sent flying away by the impact.
Ye Qingqing took a stance with her sword and chased after the man in the crimson robe. She was about to strike down when she sensed something, prompting her to look up. A blurry figure was flying toward her.
A cold and fierce light flashed in Ye Qingqing's eyes. She waved her sword with her right hand and sent a sword wave toward the oncoming figure.
Boom!
Both heaven and earth seemed to implode upon collision...
When the shockwaves vanished, Ye Qingqing looked up to find an old man dressed in a brown robe standing next to the man in the crimson robe. The brown-robed old man was staring at Ye Qingqing with his hands hidden in his sleeves, and his gaze was cold with a tinge of seriousness.
Ye Qingqing stared calmly at the brown-robed old man. Then, she looked up and stared at the strange crimson vortex.
Rumble!
A low rumbling echoed from the vortex just then, and it trembled violently as powerful auras swept out of the vortex like a tidal wave.
Ye Qingqing suddenly turned around and returned to Ye Guan's side.
Ye Qingqing turned to look at Ye Guan. "The arrays here can't hold them back."
Ye Guan was silent.
Ye Qingqing was about to say something more when Ye Guan asked, "Aunt, can we escape?"
"I don't know."
Ye Guan smiled. "Then let's fight!"
Ye Qingqing said nothing.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked out slowly from the crimson vortex.
The world seemed to become illusory as soon as he appeared.
The middle-aged man was none other than the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan!
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan looked around, seemingly bewildered.
It couldn't be helped as they had been sealed over the past seven billion years. Seven billion years... it was an incredibly long time that most people would find hard to grasp.
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan seemed to have recalled something and stared at Ye Guan on the city wall.
"Kill him!" he roared. He didn't bother saying anything else, as there was no need to do so. He had no idea of Ye Guan's identity nor did he care to know. All he knew was that they had to kill him, and the Gui Clan would truly be free once more.
A beam of crimson surged out from the crimson vortex, and it headed for Guanxuan City.
Elder Feng standing on a city wall roared, "Attack!"
Swoosh!
A myriad beams of light suddenly took to the sky, rushing toward the beam of crimson light.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Multiple explosions echoed, shaking both heaven and earth.
The arrays had been activated!
Meanwhile, Ye Guan was staring calmly. at the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan.
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan was staring at Ye Guan as well. He wanted to take a good look at the young man whom they were tasked to kill.
Ye Guan smiled and said, "I've heard that the Gui Clan was once the number one clan throughout the vast expanse. I am but a greenhorn, so I'd like to receive pointers from the supreme elites of the Gui Clan."
Swoosh!
Ye Guan's figure trembled, and he left Guanxuan City in the blink of an eye.
When he reappeared, he was standing just a hundred meters away from the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan.
Elder Feng's face suddenly changed drastically. He was about to start shouting when Ye Qingqing raised her arm and said, "He knows what he's doing."
He knows what he's doing? Elder Feng was dumbfounded. However, he was soon startled when he realized that Ye Guan was the son of his Pavilion Master. Could Ye Guan be dumber than him?
Elder Feng was just a subordinate, and he had to know his place!
Ye Qingqing stared at Ye Guan in the distant sky. Her left thumb was on her sheathe, and she was ready to flick her sword hilt to move at any moment. In fact, Ye Qingqing's sword energy was accumulating inside the sheathe.
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clans said, "Yu Gui, go ahead and entertain Young Master Ye for a while."
"Understood!"
Rumble!
A spacetime rift manifested next to the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan, and a young man walked out slowly from the rift.
The young man stared at Ye Guan in the distance and chuckled. "I really want to see just how talented the people outside have become!"
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan frowned, but he didn't say anything as he stared at Yu Gui.
Ye Guan stared at Yu Gui and said, "Please enlighten me."
Yu Gui grinned and clenched his right hand into a fist. Then, a kaleidoscope of fist imprints erupted from his fist. The fist imprint swiftly converged above Ye Guan, creating a cage to trap him.
Ye Guan's figure became illusory, and he slashed out at lightning-fast speed!
Boom!
The cage shattered, and a sword made a beeline toward Yu Gui's neck!
Yu Gui's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that Ye Guan would be able to make quick work of his cage made out of his fist intent. Before he could recover from his shock, Ye Guan's sword was already a few meters away from him.
A sense of foreboding gripped Yu Gui's heart. He no longer dared to underestimate Ye Guan as he clenched his right hand swinging it at the oncoming attack.
He had chosen to face Ye Guan's sword head-on.
Bam!
Yu Gui's fist energy shattered with a thunderous boom, and he was blasted away.
Swoosh!
A ray of sword light chased after Yu Gui, and the sword light tore apart spacetime as if it were made out of paper as it approached Yu Gui in the blink of an eye.
Yu Gui's pupils constricted. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and an illusory fist seal appeared in front of him.
Boom!
The illusory fist seal shattered, and Yu Gui was blasted away once again.
When he came to a stop once again, a sword was pressed against his glabella.
He had suffered an overwhelming defeat.
Yu Gui stared in disbelief at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was quiet as he stared at Yu Gui.
Eventually, Yu Gui spoke in a deep voice, "I've lost."
Ye Guan nodded slightly and sheathed his sword. Then, he turned to look at the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan in the distance and asked, "Do you have more formidable youngsters?"
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan stared at Ye Guan and replied, "Yes."
Ye Guan said, "Please enlighten me."
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan shook his head. "Few are your match among our younger generation."
Actually, the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan knew that Ye Guan was invincible among his peers the moment the latter made a move. He reckoned that even some old monsters weren't Ye Guan's match, much less his peers.
Of course, the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan wasn't surprised at all. Those capable of earning the white-robed woman's respect couldn't possibly be an ordinary individual.
Ye Guan nodded slightly at the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan's words. Then, he turned around and left. He didn't challenge the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan because he was sure that he couldn't beat the latter.
Ye Guan didn't really have a penchant for stirring up unnecessary trouble.
Swoosh!
Dozens of Gui Clan cultivators suddenly blocked Ye Guan's path.
Ye Qingqing's eyes revealed deep killing intent at the sight.
Ye Guan turned to look at the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan.
The Clan Leader of the Gui Clan calmly said, "Let him go."
The Gui Clan cultivators immediately retreated.
Ye Guan glanced at the Clan Leader of the Gui Clan before returning to the city wall.
The arrays from both sides were still fighting fiercely in the sky.
Ye Guan calmly asked, "Aunt, can you sense how many cultivators they have?"
Ye Qingqing glanced at the vortex and shook her head. "I can't."
Ye Guan frowned.
Ye Qingqing looked at Ye Guan, "Are you scared?"
"Even if the devil himself appears, I will not be scared as long as you're next to me."
Ye Qingqing calmly pointed. "I think you're referring to your plain-skirt aunt."
Ye Guan froze.
Little Pagoda laughed out loud. This bastard... I think only Ye Qingqing can handle him.
Just then, Ye Guan said, "Aunt Qingqing, Master Pagoda told me long ago that you're an unreasonable person and that you have a hot temper. He also said that you're easily jealous and you often throw tantrums.
"Now that I've gotten to know you, though. I don't think you're like what he described at all."
"What the fuck?" Little Pagoda felt like going crazy. "What the fuck?"
Ye Qingqing's eyes narrowed. Moments later, she disappeared into the world inside the tiny pagoda, and Ye Guan soon heard heart-wrenching screams coming from the pagoda. The screams were so terrifying that it made Ye Guan's heart tremble.
Eventually, Ye Qingqing emerged and appeared in front of Ye Guan.
"Aunt—Eugh!" Ye Guan couldn't speak as Ye Qingqing smacked the pommel of her sword into Ye Guan's chest. "What the fuck?!"
Ye Guan cursed, but his cursing was soon replaced by screams of agony that reverberated loudly from the city wall.
Ye Qingqing chased after Ye Guan as if she had gone mad with her sword in hand.
Ye Guan was running away while begging for mercy...
The Gui Clan cultivators were bewildered. What's happening? Why are they fighting among themselves?
Ye Qingqing eventually stopped, but the damage was done.
Ye Guan's fleshly body was riddled with bruises, and he couldn't help but cast an aggrieved gaze upon Ye Qingqing.
However, Ye Qingqing remained expressionless and silent.
I think she's really angry... Ye Guan regretted making that kind of joke.
Ye Qingqing suddenly said, "I'm indeed unreasonable, hot-tempered, and easily jealous. I like to throw tantrums as well, so it's not strange for you to dislike me..."
Ye Qingqing looked up at the distant starry sky with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes as she continued, "I'll leave once you're completely safe, and you will never see me again. You won't be bothered by me anymore."
