I Have A Sword

Chapter 308: My Whole Family Is Invincible!

Lu Yin’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

She never thought that Ye Guan would decisively kill her.

Lu Yin was about to speak, but Ye Guan kicked her head.

Swoosh!

Lu Yin’s head flew away, leaving behind a trail of crimson in the air.

Lu Yin had died with her eyes wide open.

However, Ye Guan remained expressionless at the gory sight. Like a habit, he put away Lu Yin’s storage ring. He had no intentions of interfering, but Lu Yin had tried to drag him down with her by threatening him.

Ye Guan initially wanted to avoid any trouble, but Lu Yin clearly thought the opposite, so Ye Guan decided to make a move; he moved without any mercy at all. Clearly, Ye Guan wasn't the type to go easy on his enemies just because they were a woman.

The flying swords orbiting the black-robed old man disappeared. The black-robed old man cast a wary gaze on Ye Guan.

Ye Guan looked at the black-robed old man without saying anything. He gathered all his power, ready to attack at any moment. He was only at the Earth Immortal Realm, but he wasn't afraid of Divine Sovereigns. Of course, the black-robed old man's true power was beyond Divine Sovereigns, but Ye Guan was still not afraid of him.

The black-robed old man frowned upon seeing Ye Guan's calmness.

After a few moments of silence, he retreated. He had chosen not to fight!

Evidently, the black-robed old man didn't feel confident fighting Ye Guan. The young man had killed Lu Yin in the proverbial blink of an eye, and the black-robed old man had sustained severe injuries. Thus, the right move here was to avoid fighting.

Ye Guan also wasn't confident about defeating the black-robed old man, so he didn't give chase.

The black-robed old man soon vanished in Ye Guan's vision.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and Lu Yin’s storage ring appeared in his hands.

He looked into it and found that the ring had about a million spiritual cores as well as a few random items. Ye Guan had the Path Sword, the Divine Tree of Nature, and the Sword Master's Dao Imprint, so run-of-the-mill spiritual artifacts were nothing to him.

Ye Guan soon found a stone, and he picked it up. The stone wasn't big; it was as big as his palm, and it was emblazoned with inscrutable and mysterious ancient runes.contemporary romance

The mysterious lady exclaimed, “That's a Tribulation Avoiding Stone!”

Ye Guan quickly asked, “Tribulation Avoiding Stone?”

The mysterious lady replied, “A Tribulation Avoiding Stone is priceless here.”

Ye Guan instantly grew curious. “How come?”

The mysterious lady said, “There are tribulations all over this place. Even Great Sovereigns have to be careful and make sure that they won't catch the eye of anything unwanted. However, a Tribulation Avoiding Stone will help you avoid those things. In other words, this stone will help you avoid tribulations and calamities.”

Ye Guan muttered, “I see…”

Indeed, the calamity that he had encountered earlier had been a massive headache. It had almost sent him on his way to the afterlife.

The mysterious lady continued. "I heard that the Divine Dao Civilization's predecessor went to conquer regions in the Chaotic Star World, but the natives of the Chaotic Star World managed to repel some of their forces, and those places became forbidden zones."

The mysterious lady sounded hesitant as she said, “You can use that Tribulation Avoiding Stone to visit those special regions. Who knows? You might get to witness the might of the people whose roots are even deeper than the Divine Dao Civilization."

"Really?" Ye Guan asked, “Have you seen them before?"

"Nope," the mysterious lady said and explained, “We had to do some research when we were about to besiege this place, which is the reason I know what I know. The natives here aren't as strong as the denizens of the True Universe, but they aren't weak.

"Those whose roots spanned beyond the Divine Dao Civilization are particularly stronger. They possess mysterious abilities that have given the True Universe a massive headache."

“What's the name of the civilization before the Divine Dao Civilization?”

"The mysterious lady replied, “The Eternal Civilization!”

Ye Guan frowned slightly and repeated, “The Eternal Civilization?”

"Yes," the mysterious lady said and explained, "Apparently, one can achieve eternal life by becoming strong enough during the Eternal Era. However, the Great Daoist Brush Master felt that eternal life is extremely burdensome to the vast expanse.

"In the end, the plunder of resources will cause the collapse of every civilization, universe, and world out there, which means those with eternal lives actually don't have eternal lives.

"The Great Daoist Brush Master changed things, and eternal life no longer exists since then. People and even spirits will eventually return to dust."

"Did the Eternal Era end because they fought for their beliefs?" Ye Guan asked.

The mysterious lady said, “Yes, their ideologies clashed, and they ended up fighting. The Great Daoist Brush Master emerged victorious, and the Eternal Civilization was forced to settle in this world."

Ye Guan was still confused. “How come the Great Daoist Brush Master allowed them to live?”

The mysterious lady responded, “Who knows?”

Ye Guan nodded without asking any more questions. He looked down at the Tribulation Avoiding Stone in his hand and smiled. The Tribulation Avoiding Stone would help him save a ton of time and a lot of trouble.

Ye Guan put the stone away and turned to look at the horizon, wondering about the identity of his aunt's enemy.

Rumble!

A low rumble echoed just then as several powerful auras tore through spacetime and appeared not too far away from Ye Guan. Ye Guan turned to look at the three newcomers and found that one of them was the black-robed old man from earlier.

Ye Guan’s face darkened. Shit, he actually called for back-up.

The black-robed old man glared at Ye Guan and roared, “Let's kill him!”

He turned into a dark beam of light that shot toward Ye Guan.

The remaining two old men didn't bother speaking.

They rushed toward Ye Guan and circulated the full extent of their Divine Sovereign cultivation bases. In total, three Divine Sovereign Realm cultivators were flying toward Ye Guan at once!

Their cultivation bases were at the Divine Sovereign Realm, but these three old men were much more powerful than the average Great Sovereigns outside the Chaotic Star World.

Realizing that he was no match for them, Ye Guan’s figure shook as he hopped onto his sword and flew far away. However, how could the black-robed old man let him leave just like that?

The black-robed old man chased after Ye Guan along with a gray-robed old man and a black-robed old man.

The black-robed old man lowered his guard slightly and showed a hint of contempt at the sight. It seemed that Ye Guan was just all talk because he had decided to run away rather than fight them head-on.

With that thought in mind, he felt somewhat regretful. He should have just dealt with the young man by himself. He had called for backup, which meant that there would be some bloodshed over who would become the owner of the Tribulation Avoiding Stone.

It was rather infuriating.

Driven by anger, the black-robed old man picked up the pace.

Just then, Ye Guan came to a halt. He whipped around and slashed out with his sword.

The attack was emblazoned with his Sword Dao. Ye Guan didn't dare to be careless against three Divine Sovereigns; he decisively strengthened his attack with his Sword Dao.

The expression of the black-robed old man changed drastically. He never expected that the young man in front of him could turn the tables so swiftly. He was taken by surprise, but he reacted quickly and summoned an impressive divine shield to defend himself.

Boom!

The divine shield shattered with a thunderous explosion, and the impact sent the black-robed old man stumbling backward. However, Ye Guan didn't stop there. He charged forward and lifted his sword for another powerful strike.

A combination of thirty-six slashes—the Beheading Heavens Sword Art!

The power of thirty-six swords was combined into one sword move, sending the black-robed old man flying at least a few kilometers away. Incredibly, a nearly ten-kilometer-long chasm had appeared between Ye Guan and the black-robed old man.

Ye Guan took a stance with his sword, but he didn't dare to attack once more. The Sword Dao Attack and the Beheading Heavens Sword Art consumed too much profound energy for him to keep on using.

He had just performed two sword moves, but he already felt like collapsing.

Unfortunately, the black-robed old man was still alive. In fact, he looked like he had only suffered a minor injury. Clearly, the cultivators here were a cut above the rest when compared to the cultivators outside.

Meanwhile, the two old men clad in black robes hurriedly came to a halt. They didn't dare to make a move upon seeing Ye Guan's sword move. Their eyes depicted the disbelief that had gripped their hearts—the young man was so strong.

The black-robed old man was also shocked. He looked at Ye Guan and asked curiously, “How come you're so strong when you're just an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator?”

Ye Guan stared at the black-robed old man before saying, “I'm just eighteen years old!”

Eighteen?! The three old men were stunned, confused about Ye Guan's response.

However, their expressions turned grim upon realizing what Ye Guan was trying to say.

Ye Guan was a heaven-defying talent, and despite his age, he was extremely powerful.

"I have relatives…" Ye Guan muttered.

The black-robed old man stared quietly at Ye Guan. Was he threatening them? To be honest, the black-robed old man was worried. Ye Guan's strength could only be explained by saying that he definitely had a powerful family behind him.

However, the black-robed old man just couldn't bear to part with a Tribulation Avoiding Stone. In addition, Tribulation Avoiding Stones were extremely precious. He needed one to explore the forbidden zones of the Chaotic Star World.

He also needed it to save someone's life aside from the prospect of obtaining powerful inheritances and mysterious treasures.

Ye Guan saw the black-robed old man's hesitation.

He was about to speak, but the black-robed old man suddenly shouted, "Hold on!"

The black-robed old man's gaze became as sharp as knives, prompting Ye Guan to stare at the black-robed old man with furrowed brows.

"You can't fool me! I know you're just trying to scare us away with your talent by claiming that you have relatives who will avenge you."

"I wasn't joking when I said that…" Ye Guan insisted in a low voice.

"Oh, really?" The black-robed old man chuckled and said, "Come on, then. Tell me, what's the name of your clan?"

Ye Guan went silent at that. He was convinced that these people had never heard of the Guanxuan Universe.

The black-robed old man's expression grew sinister in the face of Ye Guan's cold shoulder, “There's no use fooling me. I'm old, but I still know how to differentiate between right and wrong!”

"I mean, just think about it," Ye Guan sounded serious as he said, “I'm just eighteen, but I'm already an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator.”

"Stop it with the nonsense. I want you to tell us the identity of your backer!“

Ye Guan stared deeply at the black-robed old man and said, “The Sword Master! Have you heard of him?”

The black-robed old man stared at Ye Guan, “You're just buying time to recover!"

Hearing that, Ye Guan knew that the jig was up. He turned around decisively and hopped onto his sword.

The black-robed old man was furious.

"How dare you try to deceive me!" he roared, "Chase him! I want his head!"

Ye Guan turned around and shouted, "Damn it, I wasn't lying! I really have backups, and they are all invincible figures. My aunt is invincible, my uncle is invincible, my grandfather is invincible, and even my father is invincible..."

"Shut up!"

The black-robed old man shouted, "I don't and will not believe even a word from your mouth!"

Ye Guan: "..."
