I Have A Sword

Chapter 265 Did You Ever Like Me?

The eleven remaining Jin Guards stood frozen in place. They were stupefied, and their eyes were quivering in fear.

What in the hell just happened? They were completely bewildered. How did a sword become even more powerful without its wielder? It actually destroyed an independent bubble of spacetime by itself?

The Jin Guards had no idea what to say.

They weren’t the only ones. Ye Guan was also left utterly flabbergasted after the Path Sword took off on its own. It transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished into thin air.

Ye Guan gulped. His voice was trembling as he stammered, “M-Master Pagoda, where did it go?”

Little Pagoda’s reply was a bit late as he said, “I don’t know.”

Ye Guan hurriedly said, “Call it back.”

“I can’t,” Little Pagoda answered.

Ye Guan felt the blood rain from his face. He wanted to recall the Path Sword, but his connection to the Path Sword had weakened significantly that it was severed once the Path Sword got too far away from him.

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

Just then, the mysterious voice said, “I think it got lost.”

“It got lost?” Ye Guan asked with a frown.

The mysterious voice explained, “It got isolated in a special spacetime domain, and I think it got lost the moment it was let go.”

Ye Guan was annoyed, and he hurriedly asked, “Senior, how come it got lost when it’s so strong?”

The mysterious voice replied, “The sword is a spirit, and it’s currently sleeping. It’s a lazy spirit that spends most of its time sleeping. That’s why that young woman earlier managed to isolate it from you.”

The mysterious voice paused before continuing. “I can recall the Path Sword and guide it here, but it means breaking the rules.”

Ye Guan was at a loss for words. He felt like the two were trying to bamboozle him.

How could the Path Sword get lost?

Senior, Master Pagoda, and I think even the Path Sword wants me to fight using my own strength.

Ye Guan shook his head and laughed. He could still fight without the Path Sword. He opened his palm, and his powerful sword energy gathered in his hand. Soon, it became a sword, and Ye Guan wielded it before walking toward the Jin Guards.

He was emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation as he walked unhurriedly toward the Jin Guards.

Little Pagoda turned to the mysterious voice and asked, “Did he believe us?”

The mysterious voice asked, “What do you think?”

Little Pagoda sounded doubtful as he said, “He’s so smart, so I don’t think he believed us.”

“You’re right.” The mysterious voice chimed in, “He’s kind and warm on the surface, but he’s truly smart and prideful. Sigh…”

The mysterious voice seemed worried about Ye Guan.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan focused on his battle.

He wasn’t afraid despite not having the Path Sword with him. His belief had always remained strong. It would be great if he had the Path Sword, but he would be fine even without it. Ye Guan’s aura climbed up crazily, even though the Path Sword wasn’t in his hand.

The eleven Jin Guards wasted no time and charged toward him.

However, five of them targeted Ba Wan.

Ba Wan was exceptionally talented, and she had almost overwhelmed four Jin Guards earlier. Therefore, they decided to fight her in a group of five.

Ye Guan was fighting six Jin Guards by himself. The terrifying aura they were emitting made even spacetime quiver as they ran toward Ye Guan.

The Path Sword was no longer in Ye Guan’s hand, so his sword light wasn’t as dazzling as his sword lights earlier. However, he seemed to have gotten even more powerful than before.

In fact, he showed no signs of falling behind against six enemies at once.

Boom!

Just then, Ye Guan was forced a few hundred meters away. When he stopped, the spacetime behind him crumbled. Blood dripped down the corner of his lips. Ye Guan licked it away, and he took a stance with his sword in hand.

With the Path Sword, even Divine Sovereigns had to be wary of Ye Guan. The Path Sword was a sword seemingly capable of slicing through just about everything. The Path Sword wasn’t in his hand, so Ye Guan’s current prowess was his true prowess.

Ye Guan smiled. He felt great upon knowing his true strength.

Soon, he disappeared.

Swish!

A streak of sword light flashed across the battlefield, and the six Jin Guards also disappeared. There were only six of them, but Ye Guan felt like he was fighting an entire garrison filled with troops.

Boom!

A dazzling sword light erupted, and the Ye Guan was sent flying away. He had just recovered, but a spear was already making a beeline for his forehead.

The terrifying spear might shattered spacetime. Ye Guan thrust his sword forward using the Critical Method. Upon facing Ye Guan’s sword move containing the power of fifty swords, the approaching Jin Guard’s expression changed abruptly.

He attempted to retract his spear, but it was already too late.

Boom!

The spear shattered with a thunderous roar, and the young man was thrown a few hundred meters back. His fleshly body had exploded into a bloody mist while his soul was reduced to nothing but innumerable light particles.

Ye Guan had just killed a Time Immortal Realm cultivator with a single move.

The five Jin Guards were furious, and their leader shouted, “Avenge number seven!”

The leader of the Jin Guards thrust his spear toward Ye Guan.

The spear light that blossomed at the spearhead was at least a few kilometers in length. Needless to say, it was extremely destructive.

Ye Guan stared deeply at the oncoming attack.

A drop of blood dripped down his lips, and the sword in his right hand abruptly shattered. Ye Guan’s sword strike was just too strong. His sword failed to withstand it, and his fleshly body would have perished as well if it weren’t for Ao Qianqian.

Another sword made out of sword energy appeared in Ye Guan’s hand. He then took a step forward and thrust his sword toward the oncoming attacker.

Bam!

Ye Guan and the attacker were sent flying away.

The Jin Guard’s fleshly body crumbled in mid-air. Ye Guan was blasted away as well, and he coughed a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he was covered in a thin layer of golden light. Ao Qianqian had just taken the brunt of the attack for him!

Just then, another spear closed down on Ye Guan. A violent glint flashed across Ye Guan’s eyes, and he stomped with his left foot before thrusting forward—Critical Method: Fifty Swords!

Boom!

The spacetime ahead of Ye Guan was annihilated. Ye Guan and the attacker were flung away from each other. However, three figures appeared in front of Ye Guan, and they were Time Immortal Realm cultivators about to deliver a decisive blow.

Ye Guan smirked, and he charged forward with all his might. He was going to face them head-on!

The Jin Guards’ attack patterns weren’t complicated, and their attacks would always end with a spear thrust. Unfortunately, every move they made contained a cataclysmic power that Ye Guan didn’t dare to underestimate.

However, Ye Guan was too fast—he was too fast for his enemy to track, and he had also resorted to attacking with only the basic sword moves.

However, it wasn’t like he was doing this on purpose. He simply had no chance but to do this, as his enemies were too powerful to be left to their own devices, so Ye Guan had no time to consider anything else.

Fifty-one swords! It represented Ye Guan’s limit, and it was his peak as a Mortal Sword Realm swordsman. He had infused his Invincible Intent and his Invincible Sword Soul into just one attack.

BOOM!

A thunderous boom echoed. Ye Guan was blasted backward, while three figures cut a sorry figure as they flew away. Eventually, they managed to recover in mid-air and land, but their fleshly bodies had sustained so many heavy injuries that they had become practically unusable.

Ye Guan was a few hundred meters away from him.

The residual energy of the collision just now was still wreaking havoc across the battlefield, distorting spacetime here and then.

Needless to say, Ye Guan’s attack was extremely devastating.

Unfortunately, the Jin Guards weren’t ordinary cultivators. They were the absolute elites among their peers, so their willpower and prowess made them virtually invincible against their peers.

This battle was the most difficult battle Ye Guan had ever fought in so far.

Ye Guan used his sword to prop himself as blood trickled down his mouth. The ground was stained with his blood, and his fleshly body was groaning at him. He was at his limits.

Soon, he wiped the blood from his mouth and called out gently, “Qianqian!”

Ao Qianqian’s reply came a bit late. “I’m here.”

Ye Guan grinned and said, “This time, we might really die here.”

“I’m not afraid of death!” Ao Qianqian declared.

“Hahaha!” Ye Guan burst out laughing before standing up. With a sword in hand, he started walking toward the Jin Guards in the distance.

The Jin Guards exchanged looks, and their leader suddenly yelled, “We’re soldiers, so how can we be afraid of death?! Brothers, if there’s another life, let’s be brothers again!” Boom!

The leader ignited his fleshly body and soul ignited. The four Jin Guards next to him did the same almost at the same time. They knew that they had to go all-in if they wanted to stop Ye Guan here.

The True Universe was right behind them, so they had nowhere to run.

Right or wrong?

Since when did right or wrong matter in this universe?

Strength was the only thing that mattered.

The Jin Guards of the True Universe were loyal to the True God, and they knew that they had to protect the True Universe, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

The cultivation base of the five Jin Guards soon reached new heights after igniting their fleshly body and cultivation base.

Ye Guan had also decided to ignite his fleshly body. He stomped powerfully and streaked across the battlefield. A dazzling sword light converged on his sword, and it was getting stronger with every passing second.

Ye Guan had thrown all caution to the wind; death be damned!

The five Jin Guards stomped and took to the skies, turning into five streaks of light that rushed toward Ye Guan.

BOOM!

A cataclysmic explosion occurred, and the surrounding spacetime was obliterated as six streaks of light dimmed instantaneously upon impact. The streaks of light plummeted to the ground, and one of them was Ye Guan.

He rolled on the ground for a few kilometers before he came to a halt.

Swoosh!

Ao Qianqian emerged from him, looking beyond pallid.

Ye Guan held Ao Qianqian gently in his arms. Her fleshly body was no more, and she had become nothing but a wisp of soul. Her soul was dissipating rather quickly as well.

Ao Qianqian held Ye Guan’s right hand with her left hand and smiled. Her voice sounded as soft as a mosquito’s droning as she said, “I am sorry… I can’t stay with you any longer.”

Ye Guan gripped Ao Qianqian’s hand and stared into her eyes.

“Can I ask you one last question?” Ao Qianqian went silent before asking, “Did you ever like me?” A deafening silence descended upon the two until Ao Qianqian smiled again and said, “You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”

Ao Qianqian was determined to hear his response to her last question.
