I Have a Sword

Everyone was so surprised by the Heavenly Ruler Demon's outburst that they had no idea how to react to it.

The Eighth Hall Master stared at him, his gaze turning cold. He did not like how the Heavenly Demon Ruler had just cursed at him.

"You ant!" The Eighth Hall Master shouted angrily before he transformed into a streak of black light and vanished from the spot.

The Heavenly Demon Ruler's eyes narrowed. With a wave of his sleeve, a black ancient shield appeared in front of him.

Bam!

With a deafening explosion, the Heavenly Demon Ruler, along with the shield, was sent flying.

After sending the Heavenly Demon Ruler flying, the Eighth Hall Master's right arm swept horizontally toward Ye Guan. It was just a hand movement, but the spacetime around the Eighth Hall Master's hand was torn apart.

Ye Guan's eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to make a move, Gang Zhu appeared in front of him. Gang Zhu gathered his aura, and a malicious light flashed in his eyes as he threw a powerful punch toward the Eighth Hall Master.

Bam!

A deafening explosion echoed, and it was so loud that Ye Guan's eardrums almost burst open. Immediately afterward, a terrifying shockwave forced him backward.

The next moment, however, a gentle energy enveloped him, making him feel as if he had collided with cotton. The energy was so gentle that it made him feel comfortable.

Ye Guan turned and saw Hengshan Ying gesturing with her fingers; strands of white energy were flowing toward him from her fingertips.

Hengshan Ying smiled upon sensing Ye Guan's gaze on her.

Ye Guan nodded and collected his thoughts before looking up into the distance.

Gang Zhu had just been forced to retreat almost a thousand meters away.

Gang Zhu's expression was more solemn than ever. His right arm was covered in a spider web pattern of cracks, and he was extremely shocked. As a physique cultivator, he had expected to gain an advantage, but he didn't manage to do any damage whatsoever to his opponent.

The expressions of Dao Jun and the others also became solemn. The Eighth Hall Master was more formidable than they had anticipated.

The Eighth Hall Master swept his gaze across Ye Guan and his group, chuckling. "Is this it? A ragtag group of nobodies?"

Ye Guan was about to take action when a voice echoed from beside him. "I'll handle this."

The Weapon Master stepped forward.

Ye Guan looked at the Weapon Master.

The Weapon Master's face was grim as he explained, "Young Master, you won't be able to… you don't need to deal with him. I'll take care of him."

The Eighth Hall Master looked at the Weapon Master and laughed, asking, "Weapon Master, are you certain you want to be my enemy?"

"Young Master Ye has given me so much for me to refuse his request," the Weapon Master said with a nod.

"I'm afraid you're going to die by doing this."

"Let's see," replied the Weapon Master. He then spread his palm open, and his voice rumbled like thunder as he chanted an incantation.

Boom!

The starry sky cracked open, and a lightning bolt as thick as a pillar fell straight into his hand.

Boom!

In an instant, he was engulfed in raging flames mixed with lightning, and a terrifying aura pervaded the heavens and earth.

Everyone's expressions turned serious.

"Great Dao Lightning Flame!"

The Heavenly Demon Ruler's expression was solemn as he explained, "Young Master Ye, I'm sure you don't know, but there's a mysterious flame known as the Great Dao Lightning Flame in the Ascension World. It is the third strongest flame in the Ascension World, and it originates from the tribulation lightning there. After getting baptized by the Great Dao and tempered by tribulation lightning, it evolved and became sentient, becoming extremely powerful. I did not expect this flame to land in the Weapon Master's hands."

Ye Guan turned to the Weapon Master.

The Weapon Master was surrounded by a mighty conflagration, and the spacetime around him seemed unable to resist his power, as it was melting little by little, creating a frightening scene.

The Eighth Hall Master remained calm as he stared at the Weapon Master.

Just then, Weapon Master stepped forward, and a flame erupted from his body, merging with the lightning pillar in his hand.

The next moment, everything around him and the Eighth Hall Master were engulfed by a raging fire. Everything nearby was burned to ashes.

Ye Guan and the others retreated rapidly, moving away from the scorched battlefield.

Swoosh!

A black blade broke through the sea of fire, and it carried with it an overwhelming destructive power.

Boom!

The sea of fire was forcibly dispersed, and a figure was sent flying backward.

Everyone's faces darkened; the figure belonged to the Weapon Master.

But just then, the Weapon Master turned into a ball of flame and disappeared. At the same time, the Eighth Hall Master flipped his palm and slashed forward.

Schwing!

A black blade thousands of meters long manifested and descended, tearing the heavens apart as it made a beeline for the Weapon Master.

Boom!

The ball of flame was dispersed, and the Weapon Master was blown away, flying almost ten thousand meters before he could come to a halt.

The Eighth Hall Master opened his palm, and a black blade without a handle appeared in his grasp. The black blade was as dark as ink, and it shone in a cold, eerie glint.

The Eighth Hall Master stared disdainfully at the distant Weapon Master and scoffed, "Great Dao Lightning Flame? Is that all you've got?"

All of a sudden, Dao Jun walked up to Ye Guan. He glanced at the Eighth Hall Master in the distance and said, "Young Master Ye, I think he's stalling for time."

"I know." Ye Guan nodded. Then, he transmitted his voice via profound energy to the Weapon Master, "Senior, can you hold him back?"

The Weapon Master replied, "I'll try."

With that, he transformed into a beam of lightning flame and charged at the Eighth Hall Master.

Ye Guan then turned his gaze toward the thin old man in the distance and said, "Let's take them out first."

Swoosh!

Ye Guan disappeared into a streak of sword light.

Dao Jun and the others also vanished, heading straight for the thin old man and his companions.

The thin old man frowned at the charge, but he immediately understood their intentions and said, "Don't fight them head-on; just stall for as long as possible."

With that, the thin old man rushed at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan promptly switched to the Qingxuan Sword.

When the thin old man saw that, his face changed drastically, and he attempted to retreat, but it was already too late.

Bam!

A burst of sword light erupted, and the thin old man was blasted away. When he stopped, he was horrified to find that his right arm had exploded into a bloody mist.

One slash and his arm was severed!

The thin old man was terrified. "Y-y-you…!"

Just as Ye Guan was about to strike again, a mysterious energy suddenly enveloped him, making him feel as if he was floating.

He turned to look and saw that Hengshan Ying had cast a spell on him.

Hengshan Ying smiled slightly and said, "I've strengthened you."

Ye Guan laughed heartily, and then he transformed into a streak of sword light once again.

In mid-air, Ye Guan's expression changed. His speed had increased more than fivefold, and it was all thanks to Hengshan Ying's enhancement.

The thin old man was even more shocked than Ye Guan. By the time he reacted, Ye Guan was already in front of him with a sword in hand.

Terrified, the thin old man realized that Ye Guan's sword attack was too fast to dodge. He had no choice but to defend himself, so he clenched his fists tightly, and a terrifying aura burst from within him, forming a barrier in front of him.

As soon as it came into contact with the Qingxuan Sword, however, it shattered like a piece of paper.

The thin old man's eyes narrowed, but before he could do anything, a sword pierced his forehead.

Boom!

The thin old man's fleshly body exploded into a bloody mist, but he was still alive, albeit in his soul form.

Just as Ye Guan was about to destroy the thin old man's soul, a terrifying wave of energy flew toward him from his flank. He turned and saw a black blade closing in on him.

Ye Guan was about to pull out the Qingxuan Sword to defend himself, but golden threads suddenly wrapped around the black blade.

The golden threads bought Ye Guan enough time to twist his sword and let the Qingxuan Sword absorb the thin old man's soul.

Eventually, the black blade shattered the golden threads and flew straight at Ye Guan.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Guan's eyes. He took a stance with the Qingxuan Sword and slashed out.

BOOM!

Ye Guan was blasted away, flying almost a thousand meters away before a gentle energy caught him in mid-air.

At the same time, Hengshan Ying appeared next to him. A cyan-green thread connected the two of them to each other, and a stream of mysterious energy was flowing into Ye Guan, healing him.

Ye Guan glanced at Hengshan Ying in astonishment. Hengshan Ying's healing spell was more potent than the Divine Tree of Nature and the Life Force Heart.

Hengshan Ying merely smiled in the face of Ye Guan's gaze.

Boom!

The Weapon Master was forced to retreat once again.

Ye Guan then turned his gaze toward the Eighth Hall Master and saw the latter stretching his hand up to catch the black blade.

There were numerous cracks on the black blade's surface, and a huge chunk of it had gone missing. It was the result of its earlier clash with the Qingxuan Sword.

The Eighth Hall Master frowned and looked at the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan's hand. "That's a good sword."

Ye Guan turned to the Weapon Master and said, "Weapon Master, you handle the others. Leave him to me."

The Weapon Master hesitated briefly before replying, "Be careful, Young Master Ye."

With that, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged at the group of Evil Dao Alliance elites in the distance.

The Eighth Hall Master looked around the battlefield and frowned upon realizing that his people were being overwhelmed. These individuals couldn't compare to the top-tier cultivators in the Ascension World, but they were not weak at all.

At this rate, his people would be wiped out. With that in mind, he ordered, "Everyone, retreat."

His people weren't as strong as the Weapon Master and the others, but the Weapon Master and the others would find it difficult to stop them if they wanted to escape.

"Hall Master, we swore to fight to the death," someone said.

The Eighth Hall Master's face darkened. "You are no match for them. At this rate, you people are going to die. Retreat, that is an order from me."

Bang!

A black-robed Evil Dao Alliance cultivator was sent flying. After stopping, he wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Hall Master, we've followed you for hundreds of thousands of years now. It's because of your guidance that we have reached our current heights. If we abandon you today, wouldn't we be worse than pigs and dogs?"

"And you people!" he turned to Ye Guan and his group. "How dare you even attempt to destroy our hall? Do you ants really think that you can do that?"

Boom!

The black-robed man's fleshly body erupted into flames, and he glared fiercely at Ye Guan. "You ant from a low-tier universe region! Do you dare to fight me one-on-one?"

"Fuck off!" the Heavenly Demon Ruler cursed, stepping in front of Ye Guan. He stared at the Evil Dao Alliance cultivator with disdain. "Who do you think you are? Are you even worthy of fighting Young Master Ye? Let me teach you a lesson!"

The Evil Dao Alliance cultivator roared, "You insolent ant!"
