Looking at the pile of blood-red orbs in front of Qin Guan, Ming Xiao and the others’ faces changed drastically!
Just moments ago, the Southern Realm had been obliterated by these very bombs!
A hundred of them!
The thought alone sent shivers down their spines!
Ming Xiao and his group hesitated in place. They knew Ye Xuan was in a weakened state, but no one dared to make a move!
They had no desire to taste Qin Guan’s bombs again!
Seeing Ming Xiao and the others frozen, Qin Guan blinked. “You’re not coming? It’s just me, really!”
Ming Xiao and his group’s faces were ashen.
Qin Guan was about to say more when Ye Xuan’s pupils suddenly constricted. “Watch out!”
He yanked Qin Guan behind him, simultaneously activating his Diamond Body and Guanxuan Armor!
*Whoosh!*
A cold glint flashed past his throat!
*Boom!*
A burst of chilling light exploded, sending Ye Xuan and Qin Guan flying thousands of feet back!
As soon as they stopped, the space in front of them cracked open!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and he swung his sword down!
*Boom!*
The space before him turned to nothingness, but Ye Xuan’s expression grew grave. His right hand had split open, blood spurting out!
His Guanxuan Armor was intact!
But his hand had cracked!
What did this mean?
It meant the opponent’s power was terrifyingly immense, so much so that even the Guanxuan Armor couldn’t fully block it! Without the armor, his body might have exploded!
Ye Xuan looked up into the distance. There stood a mysterious figure in a black robe and bamboo hat.
The mysterious figure rasped, “A full set of divine gear!”
Ye Xuan stared at him. “From Great Chu!”
The mysterious figure chuckled, “Guess!”
Ye Xuan suddenly vanished from his spot.
In the distance, the mysterious figure’s eyes narrowed, his hands pulling apart to either side.
*Whoosh!*
A pitch-black rift appeared in front of him, forcibly blocking Ye Xuan’s terrifying sword strike!
*Boom!*
The space around Ye Xuan and the mysterious figure trembled and shattered.
The mysterious figure sneered at Ye Xuan. “That’s it?”
As his voice fell, he clenched his right fist, preparing to strike. But at that moment, Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and a terrifying force erupted from it!
*Three Lives Array!*
This was the second array within the Qingxuan Sword!
He had never activated it before!
*Boom!*
The mysterious figure barely reacted before the terrifying force blasted him tens of thousands of feet away. The next moment, a sword slashed toward his brow without warning!
*No-Self plus Three Lives Array!*
This strike was unavoidable, as if the mysterious figure had walked right into it. He could only raise his right arm to block.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light shattered!
The mysterious figure was sent flying another ten thousand feet!
But as he landed, another sword came slashing down.
*Divine Foresight!*
*Boom!*
The mysterious figure was forced back another ten thousand feet…
In the onlookers’ gazes, the mysterious figure was pushed back hundreds of thousands of feet in the blink of an eye, now facing Ye Xuan from afar!
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand!
His face was unnaturally pale!
The strain was immense!
First activating the Dao Law Array, then repeatedly using the Three Lives Array—he was struggling to keep up.
But he didn’t show it!
Ye Xuan looked at the distant mysterious figure and smirked. “That’s it?”
The crowd: “…”
The mysterious figure spoke up. “I underestimated you!”
He waved his right hand, chuckling, “A guy relying on divine artifacts, yet so cocky. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “What’s your realm?”
He smirked, “Surely beyond No-Tribulation Realm! I’m just at God-Tribulation Realm. You’re bullying the weak—don’t you feel ashamed?”
The mysterious figure replied, “I didn’t use external artifacts!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “So you’re allowed to bully the weak, but I can’t use artifacts? Your face is thicker than mine!”
The mysterious figure’s right hand slowly clenched. “Such a sharp tongue. I’ll knock your teeth out one by one soon!”
He was about to act when Ye Xuan suddenly turned to the side, shouting, “Boundless Lord, is this your doing? Get out here!”
Qin Guan froze.
The mysterious figure was stunned too.
Boundless Lord!
He knew this figure, the one person even Great Chu dared not provoke lightly!
Did this guy know the Boundless Lord?
The mysterious figure’s brow furrowed.
No response came from the surroundings!
Ye Xuan suddenly growled, “Boundless Lord, I know you’re here. If you don’t show up, I’ll call someone!”
At that moment, a thousand feet to Ye Xuan’s right, the space rippled, and a man slowly stepped out.
The Boundless Lord!
Qin Guan blinked. She hadn’t expected the Boundless Lord to actually be here!
Ye Xuan pointed angrily at him. “You sent someone to attack me!”
The Boundless Lord’s face was expressionless. “He’s not mine. He’s from Great Chu!”
Ye Xuan roared, “I have no grudge with Great Chu. Why would they attack me? He’s definitely yours! Make him leave, or I’ll call someone!”
The Boundless Lord said gravely, “Are you insane? I told you, he’s not mine! It’s Great Chu, Great Chu is after you. It’s got nothing to do with me!”
Ye Xuan raised his Qingxuan Sword. “If you don’t make him leave, I’ll call Qing’er to beat you!”
The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently. Seeing this, the Boundless Lord turned to the mysterious figure. “Scram!”
The mysterious figure said gravely, “Sir, are you joking?”
The Boundless Lord looked at him. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
He added, noticing something, and quickly turned to Ye Xuan. “Stop making that sword shake! Stop it!”
Ye Xuan stared at him. “Then make him leave!”
The Boundless Lord turned to the mysterious figure, roaring, “Still not leaving?”
The mysterious figure said gravely, “Sir, Great Chu respects you, but that doesn’t mean you can push us around. You…”
The Boundless Lord suddenly slapped out!
In the distance, the mysterious figure’s expression changed. He raised both arms to block.
*Boom!*
With a deafening explosion, the mysterious figure was blasted tens of thousands of feet away, his body shattering completely!
The mysterious figure was stunned!
Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched.
Damn!
This Boundless Lord was *that* strong?
The Boundless Lord sneered at the mysterious figure. “Great Chu respects me? Huh? Do I need your respect? What the hell! Does everyone think they can threaten me now?”
The mysterious figure was frozen in place!
One move!
One move had nearly obliterated his soul!
Was this Boundless Lord with Ye Xuan?
The Boundless Lord shot Ye Xuan a cold glance. “Let’s see how long you can keep this up!”
With that, he turned and vanished into the starry sky.
Completely gone!
Ye Xuan stood silently for a moment, then looked at the mysterious figure. The next moment, he charged with the Qingxuan Sword.
Seeing Ye Xuan coming, the mysterious figure’s face changed. “Shameless!”
Without hesitation, he turned and fled into the depths of the starry sky.
He escaped!
Though only a wisp of soul remained, if he was determined to flee, Ye Xuan had no way to stop him.
Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly, then turned to Ming Xiao and the others. Seeing him look over, their faces changed, and they immediately turned and fled into the starry depths!
They escaped!
Seeing Ming Xiao and the others flee, Ye Xuan sighed in relief.
In truth, he was at the end of his strength!
Using the Dao Law Array and Three Lives Array in succession had drained him immensely!
Qin Guan approached him and said softly, “You okay?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Just weak. I’ll recover in the tower!”
With that, he entered the small tower!
Qin Guan followed him inside.
Inside, Qin Guan looked around. At that moment, the small tower’s voice rang out. “Sister Qin Guan, hello!”
The small tower!
Qin Guan smiled. “Hello, Little Tower!”
The tower said gravely, “Sister Qin Guan, I want to help Little Master, but I’m not strong enough… I mean, my strength is limited. Can you… upgrade me?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Sure!”
The tower immediately said, “Sister Qin Guan, from now on, I’ll go through fire and water for you, no matter what you ask!”
Qin Guan giggled. “You’re so amusing, Little Tower!”
Little Tower: “…”
Nearby, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, recovering.
Qin Guan glanced around, then murmured, “Time reversal…”
After a pause, she said softly, “Could I create a time-based weapon?”
She fell into deep thought.
After a while, Ye Xuan slowly stood, now fully recovered.
He looked at Qin Guan. “What’s next?”
Qin Guan’s expression was calm. “Clearly, Great Chu is targeting us! We can’t sit and wait!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Let’s deal with them!”
Qin Guan looked at him. “Straight to Great Chu!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “You sure?”
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then said, “Not entirely sure!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan suddenly said gravely, “We *must* deal with them!”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “How many bombs are you planning to use?”
Qin Guan shook her head. “Little Boy’s power isn’t enough anymore!”
She reached into the small pouch at her waist, rummaging…
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Can I borrow that pouch for a few days?”
Qin Guan looked at him, her eyes blinking…
…
