Instant kill!
It had to be said that at this moment, everyone was shocked.
Including Wanyan Gu!
Wanyan Gu stared at Ye Guan, her heart filled with immense shock. She realised that this man’s strength had improved tremendously compared to when he was in Qingzhou!
This rate of progress was truly outrageous!
Meanwhile, the people around them, upon seeing Ye Guan’s strength, did not throw any harsh words. They simply fled directly!
One sword, one instant kill!
The gap in strength was far too great. Numbers no longer mattered!
Ye Guan did not pursue them to kill. He glanced at Mo Gan’s storage ring. Inside it were actually more than twenty million gold crystals!
Ye Guan was somewhat shocked. “They are all so rich!”
Wanyan Gu said calmly, “That is their lifetime savings!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly, then took out ten million from it and handed it to Wanyan Gu. “Miss Wanyan, here you go!”
Wanyan Gu stared at Ye Guan without speaking.
Ye Guan smiled. “What is wrong?”
Wanyan Gu shook her head slightly. “Nothing!”
With that, she accepted the storage ring, then said, “Let us go!”
Ye Guan nodded. “All right!”
The two walked toward the distance. The entire street was very quiet, unnaturally so. But Ye Guan could sense many hidden auras lurking in the surroundings!
Wanyan Gu said, “You were too high-profile!”
Ye Guan gave a slight smile and did not reply.
Wanyan Gu furrowed her delicate brows. At that moment, an old man suddenly appeared on the distant street.
Seeing this old man, Wanyan Gu’s face immediately darkened. “South Faction’s leader, Zhang Qi!”
Ye Guan glanced at Zhang Qi. It had to be said, this was a top-tier powerhouse!
Likely at the Ascending Seal Realm!
There were quite a few experts in this place!
Zhang Qi looked at Ye Guan and gave a slight smile. “Young sir, what happened earlier was our South Faction’s fault. This old man apologises to you and Miss Wanyan Gu here!”
Wanyan Gu was stunned.
At that moment, Ye Guan said, “I also have no intention of becoming enemies with your faction. I came here today merely passing through!”
Zhang Qi cupped his fists. “Understood! Young sir, until we meet again!”
With that, he turned and left without any nonsense!
Ye Guan looked toward Wanyan Gu. “Let us go!”
The two continued walking into the distance!
On the way, Wanyan Gu asked, “You killed that person earlier just to intimidate the South Faction?”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then said, “In this place, strength reigns supreme. If I had not decisively killed him, the South Faction might have kept coming to cause trouble, eventually turning into a mortal enmity. By decisively killing that man, I let them know my strength. Now they only have two choices. First, mobilise the entire faction to take revenge on me! Second, come to settle this grudge with me!”
Wanyan Gu said, “They chose the latter!”
Ye Guan nodded. “Respect is earned through strength. When it is time to act, being decisive can avoid far more trouble!”
With that, he paused, then added, “Of course, if they really want revenge, it is not a big deal. Just kill them all. Very simple!”
Very simple!
Ye Guan spoke very calmly, as calmly as if he were talking about stepping on a few ants!
Wanyan Gu looked at Ye Guan. After a moment, she sighed inwardly. This person was indeed extraordinary. No wonder he could become a great sword emperor at such a young age!
Truly a monstrous genius!
Soon, the two disappeared at the end of the street.
On the other side, Zhang Qi was gazing toward the end of the street. In his eyes was a trace of gravity!
Behind Zhang Qi stood a young boy. The boy asked, “Grandfather, why did we let that sword cultivator go?”
Zhang Qi gave a slight smile. “Do you think our South Faction is powerful?”
The boy nodded. “Of course!”
Zhang Qi shook his head. “Forget outside. Even here in Dark Capital, in the eyes of certain big shots, we are merely a group of ants! If they want to wipe us out, they do not even need to lift a finger. A single word from them is enough to turn us to ashes!”
The boy was full of astonishment.
Zhang Qi said softly, “That young man has an extraordinary bearing, and he is a sword cultivator. At first glance, he is no ordinary person! He killed Mo Gan as a warning to us. If we still do not know our place, the next one he kills will not be just one person, but all of us!”
With that, he lowered his head and gently patted the boy’s head. “We people at the bottom, if we want to survive in this world, we must be cautious, especially about who we can afford to provoke and who we cannot. We have to distinguish clearly. Otherwise, once we offend someone we should not, it is eternal doom. Understand?”
The boy nodded slightly. “Understood!”
Zhang Qi smiled. “Let us go!”
With that, the grandfather and grandson turned and walked into the distance.
A quarter of an hour later, Wanyan Gu brought Ye Guan to a plaza. In that plaza were over a thousand teleportation arrays!
At that moment, a black-robed old man appeared before the two.
The black-robed old man glanced at Wanyan Gu, then said, “Destination?”
Wanyan Gu said, “Guanxuan Cosmic!”
Guanxuan Cosmic!
Hearing Wanyan Gu’s words, the black-robed old man’s brows immediately furrowed.
Wanyan Gu asked, “What is wrong?”
The black-robed old man said, “Two people, twelve million gold crystals!”
Twelve million!
Ye Guan’s expression immediately changed!
Damn it!
Too expensive!
Wanyan Gu said gravely, “As far as I know, going to Guanxuan Cosmic for one person costs at most five million gold crystals!”
The black-robed old man said calmly, “Take it or leave it!”
Hearing this, Wanyan Gu’s delicate brows immediately furrowed.
At that moment, Ye Guan stepped forward. He took out a storage ring and handed it to the black-robed old man.
Inside the storage ring were exactly twelve million gold crystals!
The black-robed old man accepted it, then said, “Follow me!”
With that, he walked to the side.
Ye Guan and Wanyan Gu followed. On the way, Wanyan Gu sent a profound energy transmission. “He is extorting us!”
Ye Guan smiled. “He must have seen that we are in a hurry, so he decided to extort!”
Wanyan Gu glanced at Ye Guan. “You are actually not angry!”
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. “There is nothing to be angry about! Business is free! They set a clear price. Whether we accept is up to us!”
Wanyan Gu nodded slightly. Although she felt unhappy inside, she said nothing more.
Soon, the black-robed old man brought them to a teleportation platform. On it was a massive teleportation array, at least ten times larger than the others!
Ye Guan and Wanyan Gu were about to step up when the black-robed old man suddenly said, “Wait!”
Ye Guan looked toward the black-robed old man. The old man said calmly, “There is also a service fee! One million gold crystals!”
One million service fee!
Ye Guan’s brows immediately furrowed.
Wanyan Gu said gravely, “Sir, there is no such rule!”
The black-robed old man remained expressionless. “There was not before, but now there is! It is a new rule. What, do you have an opinion?”
Hearing this, Wanyan Gu’s face instantly turned cold.
Ye Guan suddenly smiled. “Senior, we are just passing through with no ill intentions. We…”
The black-robed old man waved his hand, directly interrupting Ye Guan. “Save the talk. This is the service fee. It is the rule in Dark Capital. If you want to use the teleportation array, pay up. If not, leave. Do not waste this old man’s time!”
Ye Guan thought for a moment, then asked, “Where did this service fee come from?”
The black-robed old man said calmly, “I brought you here. Does that not count as service?”
Hearing this, Wanyan Gu immediately flew into rage. The black-robed old man gave her a cold glance. “What, you want to fight here?”
Wanyan Gu said gravely, “Sir, do not push things too far!”
The black-robed old man sneered. “Push things too far? I am collecting fees normally. How is that pushing too far? If you want the teleportation array, pay. If not, get lost!”
Wanyan Gu’s face immediately became extremely ugly!
Ye Guan suddenly smiled. “In that case, we will not use it then! Please return our money, sir!”
The black-robed old man narrowed his eyes. “What money?”
Wanyan Gu laughed in extreme anger. “What, you want to swallow our money now?”
The black-robed old man remained expressionless. “This old man never received any money from you!”
As his voice fell, several hidden auras suddenly appeared around them!
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly turned. A flying sword shot out directly!
Whoosh!
The sword tore through the sky. In an instant, over a dozen blood-soaked heads flew into the air!
He attacked!
The black-robed old man’s face instantly changed dramatically. He retreated backward, but a flying sword was faster. It pierced through the centre of his brow in a flash, nailing him to a stone pillar not far away!
The black-robed old man looked at Ye Guan, his face somewhat twisted. “You are dead! You are dead! How dare you make a move here? Do you know who is behind me?”
“Insolent!”
At that moment, a voice suddenly thundered from the distant horizon. Immediately afterward, a powerful aura swept over!
Ye Guan pointed with two fingers.
Whoosh!
The sky was directly torn open. Then, a hundred zhang away, an old man’s head flew off. Blood poured down from the heavens!
Seeing this scene, the black-robed old man’s face changed completely!
He knew he had provoked someone he should not have!
Space above Ye Guan’s head suddenly split open. An old man stepped out. But at that instant, Ye Guan flicked his sleeve. A streak of sword light shot out directly!
Whoosh!
The old man’s head flew off the moment his foot stepped out!
Ye Guan looked at the black-robed old man, whose face was full of shock, and gave a slight smile. “Call again!”
The black-robed old man looked at Ye Guan as if looking at a ghost. He trembled as he said, “You… you are a sword cultivator!”
At that moment, space in the distant sky suddenly cracked open. A middle-aged man stepped out. However, the moment he appeared, a flying sword came killing toward him. The middle-aged man’s pupils shrank sharply. He clasped his hands together fiercely. A burst of golden light rushed out from his body. The golden light forcibly blocked Ye Guan’s flying sword. But in the next instant, another flying sword slashed down!
Whoosh!
The golden light shattered completely. A flying sword sliced straight through the middle-aged man’s throat. His head flew off directly.
Seeing this, the black-robed old man turned deathly pale!
Sword Emperor!
This was a damn Sword Emperor!
Damn it!
If you had said earlier you were a Sword Emperor, I would not have extorted you!
You, a Sword Emperor, acting so gentle, so polite, like a scholar. Is this not harming people? If you had been a bit fiercer, I would not have dared to be so unscrupulous!
In the distance, Ye Guan scanned the surroundings. His right hand rested behind his back. “Not satisfied with the kills. Come again!”
At that moment, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared dozens of zhang in front of Ye Guan. The moment she appeared, a flying sword came killing straight at her!
The beautiful woman immediately said, “Young sir, I came to reason with you!”
The flying sword stopped several zhang in front of the beautiful woman!
The beautiful woman was just about to smile when the flying sword suddenly accelerated!
Whoosh!
The beautiful woman’s head flew off directly!
The flying head had wide-open eyes, full of disbelief!
Ye Guan shook his head. “For now, I do not want to reason!”
The black-robed old man trembled as he said, “Young sir… it was this old man’s fault. This old man will return the twelve million gold crystals to you right away…”
Ye Guan furrowed his brows. “Did you remember wrong? It was clearly one hundred and twenty million. How did it become twelve million?”
The black-robed old man was dumbfounded.
