I Have A Sword

Chapter 603: Qing'er, can you handle him?

"Insignificant."

Just moments ago, Ye Guan had walked alone on the street, pondering a question.

Can I not save them or do I simply lack the courage to? If it's truly beyond my power, then I can forgive myself. However, if it's a matter of courage, then why wouldn't I at least try? Am I afraid of Ah Nan? He's a disciple of the First God, but I am his inheritor!

Even if I weren't, there is no reason for me to fear a false god. My goal is to establish an order! To have an Invincible Sword Dao! If I can't even try to save one person, how can I talk about establishing a universal order or being invincible?

To achieve my goals, I cannot hesitate or compromise. I have to address injustices as they arise and face the consequences head-on.

Observing Ye Guan's confidence, Lin Daimei stared wide-eyed, completely stunned. When Ye Guan decided to intervene, his mindset instantly shifted. At the same time, his Sword Intent underwent a subtle change. He didn't dwell on it now, however, since the old lady was on the verge of collapse.

Ye Guan strode up to her and summoned the Divine Imprint in his hand. With a pointed gesture, the Divine Imprint trembled violently, transformed into a beam of divine light, and entered the old lady's body.

Boom!

The old lady convulsed violently as countless beams of divine light erupted from within her.

The Divine Imprint forced a mass of murky energy out of her. The murky energy hovered above her head, seemingly wary of the Divine Imprint. It trembled slightly, unwilling to approach the old lady any closer. Ye Guan narrowed his eyes at the scene as he drew a sword with his left hand.

Registering him as a threat, the mass of energy transformed into a black light and shot toward Ye Guan. In response, Ye Guan thrust his sword.

Bang!

In an instant, Ye Guan was sent flying out of the house.

Lin Daimei's face paled at the sight. She hurriedly ran outside and found Ye Guan standing, sword still in hand but a trickle of blood flowing down from his mouth.

The energy, which had transformed into a phantom, turned into a beam of light and shot toward Ye Guan at incredible speed, instantly reaching him.

Ye Guan drew his sword once more.

Boom!

Their clash blasted him back again. By the time he finally stopped, his complexion had turned pale.

He fixed his gaze on the phantom before him as he wiped the blood from his lips. With a smirk, he then took a step forward.

Invincible Sword Intent surged forth, determined to shatter the seal. Without it, the curse's power meant nothing. Considering the mysterious force had met his every strike with suppression and backlash, he concluded that breaking the seal was imperative to address the root of the problem.

The moment Ye Guan's Invincible Sword Intent emerged, an invisible force converged from the heavens and earth and bore down on him.

Instead of retreating, he advanced and thrust his sword into the air.

"Break!" he roared.

A beam of sword light soon soared to the sky. However, it was immediately suppressed and shattered by the mysterious force.

Boom!

The sword light dispersed.

The mysterious force dove and pressed down on Ye Guan, forcing him to bend over. He clenched his hands as his face contorted and his bones creaked under the pressure.

The force was suffocating. Nevertheless, Ye Guan still forced his head up and spread his hands. From within him, a terrifying Invincible Sword Intent surged into the sky.

Rumble!

The earth shook, and the heavens quaked.

Ye Guan's Sword Intent began to push back the mysterious force until, eventually, he managed to stand back up.

However, the moment he did, the force bore down on him once more.

With narrowed eyes, Ye Guan activated the power of his three bloodlines.

Boom!

The Invincible Sword Intent transformed into a brilliant beam of light and pierced the heavens, instantly eliminating the terrifying force.

Ye Guan took a deep breath. Relief washed over him. However, before he could relax, countless mysterious forces converged from all directions, followed by a terrifying force that slammed into him.

His expression shifted slightly. He spread his palm, and a Sword Intent soared into the sky, meeting the incoming force head-on.

Boom!

However, his Sword Intent did not only get completely suppressed but even began to crack.

Ye Guan frowned. Determined to face the mysterious sealing power, he stomped on the ground with his right foot and propelled himself into the sky.

Boom!

Ye Guan's sword collided with the mysterious force in midair, causing the world to tremble violently. At that moment, the power of the seal intensified.

Bam!

The clash sent him plummeting to the ground.

At the same time, the nearby mysterious curse energy suddenly turned toward the stone house. Ye Guan's expression darkened as he pointed at the curse energy. In response, the Xuanyuan Sword burst out and repelled the curse energy away.

He then waved his hand, and the little pagoda flew out. It transformed into a golden light and drew Lin Daimei and the old lady into it.

However, at the same time, the power of the seal surged once again.

Sensing this, Mu Yuan urged, "Use the Divine Imprint!"

In the past, he wouldn't have allowed Ye Guan to use it. After all, it could easily draw attention from the gods. Now, however, whether Ye Guan used it or not didn't matter anymore. He had already employed the Divine Imprint once to save the old lady’s life.

Upon hearing Mu Yuan's words, Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes and sent the Divine Imprint out.

Boom!

A surge of divine light shot skyward, turning the night into a blazing day.

The mysterious seal cloaking the surroundings momentarily hovered in the air before gradually dissipating.

However, as the seal weakened, a multitude of murky energies suddenly manifested in the world.

Ye Guan's expression darkened.

"It's Ah Nan. He has set his sights on you," Mu Yuan explained.

A shiver ran down Ye Guan's spine as he swiftly flew into the sky. As soon as he arrived, countless phantoms materialized around him.

Curse energy!

As Ye Guan observed the approaching energies, the Divine Imprint instinctively appeared between his brows, forcing the curse energy to retreat.

"Seems like they fear the Divine Imprint," Ye Guan remarked.

Mu Yuan nodded. "Of course. That's the most precious artifact of the Divine Temple. It repels evil! That aside, if my intuition serves me right, Ah Nan has already sensed your presence."

Ye Guan slowly shut his eyes. "How powerful is he?"

After a brief pause, Mu Yuan asked, "Do you want the truth?"

Ye Guan smirked. "Let's start with a lie."

"You're evenly matched," Mu Yuan quipped.

"And the truth?"

Mu Yuan's tone grew grave. "As you are now, you're no match for him. He could eliminate you without even appearing in person by cursing you. He's stronger than Ancient Sovereigns by a significant margin."

Ye Guan smiled faintly. The starry sky in the distance then turned crimson, and the surrounding phantoms fused with it.

"Is that his true form?" he asked, his eyes fixed on the sky.

"I am not sure," Mu Yuan cautiously replied.

Suddenly, a demonic beast emerged from the crimson-red sky, wearing a beastly garb and wielding a colossal blade. It had the head of an ox and the body of a human body.

"It's the Ugly Ox, one of Ah Nan's twelve zodiac beasts," Mu Yuan said.

The Ugly Ox charged forward, ripping a colossal tear in the sky above the town.

Ye Guan rushed forward. As he focused on the battle at hand, he created a sword made of sword energy.

Explosions erupted in the sky along with a loud clang.

Although both of them were thrown back, the Ugly Ox regained its footing faster. It launched another assault on Ye Guan.

Swish!

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, but he swiftly countered. Invincible Sword Intent gathered at the tip of his finger, condensing into a solid sword that flew toward the demonic beast.

Bam!

The sword temporarily forced the Ugly Ox to a stop, but the demonic beast lunged again in no time. It swung its massive saber down at Ye Guan again. The starry skies shattered under its sheer force.

Undaunted, Ye Guan jumped forward with his sword ready to strike.

A head-on clash!

Bam!

The clash between steel sent the two flying backward. However, they immediately charged at each other once more...

Their frenzied exchange continued, delivering blow after blow in rapid succession. In mere moments, they had traded hundreds of strikes.

Thankfully, the Divine Imprint below held firm, preventing their clash from destroying the town.

Boom!

With a resounding boom, the two were blasted away.

As Ye Guan stopped, his aura surged to unprecedented heights, allowing him to reach the Imperial Sovereign Realm.

Excitement surged through him upon realizing that he had just made an unexpected advancement. His Invincible Sword Intent had also undergone a significant enhancement.

The transformation of his Invincible Sword Intent wasn't merely a result of the battle. It also stemmed from a shift in his mindset.

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of light, vanishing from sight.

Frowning, the Ugly Ox swung its saber down.

Bam!

However, their collision sent the demonic beast hurtling through the skies. Once it had stopped, it stared at Ye Guan in disbelief.

Just as Ye Guan prepared to strike again, the starry sky behind the Ugly Ox churned ominously. In the blink of an eye, a towering phantom materialized out of thin air.

Seeing the figure, the Ugly Ox immediately knelt...

On the other side, a man in white turned to the lady beside him. "Qing'er, this one looks formidable. Can you beat him?"

The lady indifferently glanced at the figure. "Not a chance. Should we make our escape?"

The man in white was rendered speechless.
