Under everyone’s gaze, a middle-aged man strode through the air from the horizon. He wore luxurious robes, long hair cascading over his shoulders, laughing heartily with a heroic yet domineering air.
It was not his true body.
Yet, even though it was not his true body, the moment he appeared, the entire sky boiled.
Boom.
Waves of terrifying world-destroying might continuously swept down from the heavens.
At this moment, everyone felt an unprecedented oppressive force, as if hundreds of thousands of great mountains were crashing down, filling people with despair.
Not just the entire Guanxuan Academy, but at this instant, the whole Central Divine Continent sensed a fearsome powerhouse aura.
A guardian.
The invincible Lord Wubian.
Was this a peerless powerhouse from thirty million years ago?
In the venue, everyone who felt this scene was shocked beyond words.
An invincible big shot.
Compared to this Lord Wubian, the appearance of Ye Guan’s blood-skirted guardian seemed rather understated.
When she emerged, she did not even stir the space.
In comparison, Lord Wubian’s entrance was far more domineering.
The moment he appeared, space boiled.
In terms of who was stronger, just from the entrance, the difference was clear.
Ye Guan felt that terrifying aura, his expression also moved.
The joy from reaching Sword Emperor had completely vanished at this moment.
Ye Guan stared fixedly at the approaching Lord Wubian. At this instant, his hands clenched tightly, his heart emptying once more.
Sword Emperor?
This was merely his starting point.
Just the starting point.
He needed to become stronger.
At that moment, as if sensing Ye Guan’s mindset, the Path Sword suddenly trembled slightly.
The plain-skirted woman suddenly turned to look at Ye Guan. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. “Growing stronger when facing the strong. Your sword Dao heart… is not bad.”
Not bad.
Little Tower fell silent.
This evaluation could only be described as terrifying.
In tens of millions of years, those who could make this Destiny Boss feel “not bad,” aside from the Sword Master of the Human Realm, seemed to be only two others.
On the other side, Dongli Mo was extremely excited.
Master had come.
This entrance was invincible.
Master had not been boasting.
Thirty million years ago, perhaps only the unparalleled Sword Master of the Human Realm could have fought him.
At that moment, the approaching Lord Wubian suddenly stopped in place. When he saw the plain-skirted woman, he was struck as if by five thunderbolts, frozen on the spot. His voice trembled. “Holy shit?”
At that moment, Dongli Mo suddenly pointed angrily at the plain-skirted woman. “Master, hit her.”
Lord Wubian’s expression stiffened.
Damn it.
Damn it.
How could she be here?
How could she?
As if discovering something, he suddenly looked at Ye Guan. Upon seeing Ye Guan, he froze again. In the next moment, his face became extremely unsightly. “Damn it, how much bad luck did I accumulate in my previous life to encounter you father and son in this one, letting you torment me like this.”
At that moment, Dongli Mo said again, “Master, hit her.”
Lord Wubian was silent. You truly are my good disciple.
At that moment, the plain-skirted woman stared at Lord Wubian. “For the sake of fighting side by side with my brother back then, this time, I will not slay your true body.”
With that, she prepared to act. At that moment, Lord Wubian suddenly looked up at the sky. “That villain, where do you flee?”
With those words, he directly turned into a beam of light and vanished from everyone’s sight.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Was there some heinous villain here?
Nearby, the plain-skirted woman waved her sleeve.
Tens of millions of li away in the starry domain, Lord Wubian was struck by a sword light.
Chi.
This strand of Lord Wubian’s avatar directly became illusory.
Yet Lord Wubian breathed a sigh of relief.
Good.
Good.
If he died below, his reputation in this life would be ruined.
Dying after shifting the grave, preserving a name for ten thousand generations.
Worth it.
So worth it.
In the competition plaza, everyone was still dumbfounded.
What had Lord Wubian gone to do?
Why did he leave right after appearing?
Nearby, Dongli Mo was utterly confused. Why had Master just left like that?
Could there be some other urgent matter?
On the other side, Ye Qing said inwardly, “Master, who is she?”
The mysterious voice did not speak.
Since the plain-skirted woman appeared, he had not spoken.
He wanted to minimise his presence as much as possible.
Ye Qing was somewhat puzzled. “Master?”
Still no response.
Ye Qing fell silent, filled with doubt. What was going on?
At that moment, the plain-skirted woman suddenly looked at Ye Guan. “I am leaving.”
Ye Guan hesitated, then said, “Aunt, when can I see you again?”
The plain-skirted woman thought about it, then said calmly, “Depends on the situation.”
Depends on the situation.
Ye Guan nodded slightly, saying no more.
The plain-skirted woman placed the Path Sword in Ye Guan’s hand. “Keep going.”
With that, she had already vanished.
Gone.
Ye Guan was silent.
Around them, everyone’s expressions suddenly became bewildered.
Because they discovered that they seemed to have forgotten the plain-skirted woman’s appearance.
It was everyone.
No matter how they tried, they could not recall her face. They only knew she wore a blood skirt.
Of course, Ye Guan remembered.
And in the venue, only he remembered.
Atop Guanxuan Mountain, Gu Chaoyuan’s brows furrowed deeply. He discovered that he too could not recall the appearance of Ye Guan’s guardian.
What was going on?
Gu Chaoyuan’s heart was filled with doubt.
Below, inside Ye Guan, the mysterious voice suddenly sounded. “Did she erase everyone’s memory in the venue?”
Little Tower said calmly, “No.”
The mysterious voice was puzzled. “Then why…”
Little Tower said softly, “The people here cannot bear her karma. Even the karma from one meeting, they cannot bear. In a sense, she is countless times more dangerous than before. If Little Guan ultimately cannot reach that step, she truly will destroy the world.”
The mysterious voice fell silent.
In truth, few knew that in that battle years ago, the entire universe had nearly been buried with it.
Because the plain-skirted woman back then had nearly destroyed the world.
It was the Sword Master of the Human Realm who stopped her.
Later, for a special reason, she decided to wait another thirty million years for the Sword Master of the Human Realm.
Even so, her killing intent had directly shattered the Great Dao. Moreover, she had become like this.
From plain skirt to blood skirt, dyed red by killing intent.
And she had always been restraining her killing intent.
This was why Little Tower did not dare to persuade her.
Throughout history, only one person could persuade her. And now, that person was in a special state.
It could be said that in this universe’s myriad realms, she basically gave face to no one.
Today, she had given face to Ye Guan.
This face was perhaps more because of Ye Guan’s identity. Of course, it was clear she thought highly of Ye Guan.
In the venue, Ye Guan suddenly took a deep breath. Then he looked at the distant Dongli Mo. Seeing Ye Guan look over, Dongli Mo’s eyes narrowed immediately. He slowly clenched his hands.
He had to admit, he was somewhat wary of the current Ye Guan.
Sword Emperor.
This was not something he could take lightly.
If Ye Guan’s realm were a bit higher, in this Central Divine Continent, he would be nearly invincible.
Ye Guan suddenly said, “Fight?”
Fight.
Atop the myriad mountains, everyone looked towards Dongli Mo.
Was Ye Guan going to kill this super genius of the Undying Imperial Clan?
Hearing Ye Guan’s words, atop the mountain peak, the Undying Imperial Clan leader Dongli Chen’s face changed dramatically. He was about to stop it, but at that moment, Dongli Mo suddenly said, “Yes.”
Yes.
Hearing this, Dongli Chen’s face became extremely unsightly in an instant.
He knew Dongli Mo could not possibly refuse.
Why?
Under the eyes of all, refusing Ye Guan’s challenge meant what?
It meant fear.
You could lose, but you could not fear.
Losing was not terrifying. Having fear in the heart, that was truly terrifying. After all, after losing, you could start over. But with fear in the heart, that was a hurdle you could never cross in a lifetime.
Dongli Mo did not want the Ye Guan before him to become an uncrossable hurdle in his heart.
He could lose to Ye Guan, but he could not fear Ye Guan, and even more, he could not lose face for the Undying Imperial Clan.
If he did not dare to accept today, not only he, but the entire Undying Imperial Clan would be unable to hold their heads high before the world.
Fight.
Dongli Mo stepped forward. He looked at Ye Guan and laughed heartily. “Come on.”
Ye Guan nodded. He stepped forward. With this step, a terrifying sword momentum instantly enveloped Dongli Mo. In the next moment, a sword tore through space, directly slashing towards Dongli Mo’s face.
This sword’s speed was extreme.
And Ye Guan had not yet used rule-breaking. Otherwise, this sword’s speed could increase several times.
Seeing this sword, Dongli Mo’s pupils constricted sharply. He suddenly spread his palm. In an instant, a powerful bloodline force surged violently from his body.
Boom.
A red glow forcefully blocked Ye Guan’s terrifying sword.
Bloodline force.
At that moment, Ye Guan suddenly withdrew his sword, then thrust out again.
Boom.
A burst of sword light suddenly exploded on that red glow. In a blink, Dongli Mo was sent retreating dozens of zhang.
And as soon as he stopped, another sword arrived.
This speed was even faster than the previous sword.
Dongli Mo’s pupils constricted sharply. He suddenly raised his hands fiercely. In his eyes, a trace of blood red flashed.
Boom.
Under everyone’s gaze, a faint red glow suddenly swept out from his body.
Bang.
Ye Guan’s sword was blocked again. Moreover, this time, his sword was directly shattered.
Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Ye Guan’s eyes.
Little Tower suddenly said, “Mad demon bloodline.”
Ye Guan was somewhat curious. “Mad demon bloodline?”
Little Tower said, “Yes. It is the bloodline of the Sword Master of the Human Realm from back then. Though Dongli Mo has only awakened a trace, it is still remarkable. You know, this mad demon bloodline can affect one’s mind.”
At that moment, Dongli Mo’s face in the distance suddenly twisted. He stared fixedly at Ye Guan. “Again.”
With that, he stepped forward. A powerful bloodline force directly pressed towards Ye Guan, extremely fast, enveloping Ye Guan in a blink.
However, Ye Guan was completely unaffected.
Dongli Mo was stunned.
Ye Guan said inwardly, “Tower Grandpa, my mind is perfectly normal.”
Little Tower was silent.
Ye Guan continued, “Tower Grandpa, this mad demon bloodline of the Sword Master of the Human Realm… seems not that great. Look, I’m fine.”
Little Tower was silent.
Damn it.
Of course you’re fine.
Dongli Mo only has a trace of mad demon bloodline. You have it throughout your body.
Though not awakened, it is not something any bloodline can suppress.
In the distance, Dongli Mo was dumbfounded.
Unaffected?
Normally, when sparring with others, as long as he used this mad demon bloodline, he could definitely suppress the opponent and even affect their mind.
Yet this guy was fine?
In the distance, Ye Guan looked at Dongli Mo. Suddenly, he turned his head. Not far away, An Daoxin was about to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed.
He had almost forgotten this woman.
Sensing Ye Guan’s gaze, An Daoxin immediately turned to him. She stared at Ye Guan. “One of my ancestors serves as a military officer in the main Guanxuan Academy. If you kill me, he definitely will not…”
A sword light suddenly flashed across the venue.
Chi.
Before An Daoxin could finish, a sword pierced her forehead.
An Daoxin froze in place.
Ye Guan appeared before An Daoxin. He was about to completely erase her soul when a voice suddenly came from the side. “Young Master Ye, can you give me face and spare Miss An?”
“The Milky Way.”
In the venue, someone suddenly shouted.
In an instant, the myriad mountains boiled.
The Person of Heavenly Mandate had come.
…
