The speed of both men was incredibly fast, so fast that many in the field could not clearly see their movements.
Chi!
In the gaze of the crowd, Ye Guan directly shattered the sabre in Gu Hao’s hand. Then, a wisp of sword light suddenly flashed across Gu Hao’s brow!
Gu Hao stood frozen in place!
At that moment, Ye Guan had already appeared behind Gu Hao. The Path Sword in his hand had switched back to an energy sword!
His speed was like startling thunder, his movements fluid and seamless!
Because the speed was too great, few in the field had seen Ye Guan switch swords!
Of course, even if he had not switched back, few would recognise this sword. Apart from the handful who had seen it years ago, almost everyone else who had was already dead.
When they saw Gu Hao instantly killed, many in the field were stunned!
How had he done it?
The unrivalled spear cultivator Jiang Fan stared at Ye Guan without speaking, but a trace of gravity had already appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, Ye Guan walked to Gu Hao’s side. Gu Hao said in a trembling voice, “You… switched swords!”
Ye Guan said nothing. He removed Gu Hao’s storage ring. Inside were over ten million gold crystals, along with two hundred thousand immortal crystals. Besides that, there were many fine pills, several bottles of which were actually immortal-grade!
Of course, most importantly, there was a super-divine armour!
Ye Guan sighed, “You truly are wealthy!”
Gu Hao stared at Ye Guan. “If you kill me, it is equivalent to declaring war on the Ancient Clan!”
Ye Guan shook his head. “Foolish. Even if I do not kill you, your Ancient Clan will not let me go.”
With that, he swung his sword in a slash.
Chi!
Gu Hao’s head flew directly off, blood spraying over a dozen zhang away!
He killed him!
In the shadows, everyone’s expressions immediately became extremely grave!
This Ye Guan truly dared to kill!
This was a member of the Ancient Clan!
The Ancient Clan was one of the four super families of the Guanxuan Academy’s main branch! It was far beyond what the current An family could compare to!
This Ye Guan’s courage was too great!
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Guan, somewhat shocked in his heart.
First, he was shocked by Ye Guan’s strength!
Though Gu Hao was a good-for-nothing as a person, he still had real ability! Yet he had been instantly killed by Ye Guan with one sword!
Second, he was shocked that Ye Guan actually dared to kill a member of the Ancient Clan!
If it were him, he would not dare to take things to the extreme!
After all, it was the Ancient Clan!
But on second thought, as Ye Guan had said, even if he did not kill this Gu Hao, given Gu Hao’s character and personality, he would certainly continue targeting him in the future!
Therefore, it was better to kill him!
At this thought, Jiang Fan shook his head and sighed!
The previous challengers had come to spar with Ye Guan in a friendly manner, with mutual respect. Thus, even in defeat, Ye Guan had not wiped them out completely. On the contrary, there was mutual admiration!
Only this Gu Hao was different. He had spoken harshly from the start, not only speaking harshly but also acting ruthlessly!
If you do not die, who will?
Truly, not wronged at all!
After putting away Gu Hao’s storage ring, Ye Guan walked to Ji Xuan. He opened his palm, and a dark golden armour suddenly appeared in his hand. The armour was dark gold throughout, entirely crafted from unknown scales, and each scale was engraved with mysterious runes!
Super-divine armour!
Ye Guan handed the super-divine armour to Ji Xuan. “For you!”
Ji Xuan was stunned!
Not only Ji Xuan was stunned, but everyone in the shadows was stunned too!
Giving it away?
Damn it!
You are giving away super-divine armour?
A piece of super-divine armour was worth at least a hundred million crystals!
Moreover, it might not even be purchasable. One could say that only with immortal crystals might one have a chance to buy it!
Even with immortal crystals, it would start at least at a million!
A million immortal crystals!
What an enormous sum!
For those super forces at the Guanxuan Academy’s main branch, a million immortal crystals might not be that precious, but in the Central Divine Continent, it was truly invaluable!
Currently in the Central Divine Continent, hardly any forces could produce such a sum!
Yet now, Ye Guan was actually giving this super-divine armour away!
Too generous!
Ji Xuan looked at Ye Guan. “Why?” At this moment, she too found it hard to believe, for she had not expected Ye Guan to give this armour to her!
This was super-divine armour!
In the entire Central Divine Continent, there probably were not many pieces in existence!
Ye Guan suddenly said, “What are you standing there for?”
Ji Xuan asked again, “Why give it to me?”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “You wear it, and you will be safer!”
Ji Xuan said gravely, “This is super-divine armour. Super-divine armour is extremely precious!”
Ye Guan shook his head. “No matter how precious, how can it compare to Miss Ji Xuan’s kindness in escorting me all this way? This is not to repay your favour with this armour. I simply feel that with this armour, Miss, you will be safer. That is all.”
With that, he said no more. He placed the super-divine armour in Ji Xuan’s arms, then turned and walked towards Jiang Fan!
In place, Ji Xuan looked at the super-divine armour in her hands, then at Ye Guan in the distance. As she watched, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and a trace of tenderness filled her eyes.
In the distance, Ye Guan walked up to Jiang Fan and said, “How shall we fight?”
Spar!
Life and death!
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Guan for a moment, then said, “Spar!”
Life and death?
There was no need for that!
This sword cultivator before him was not a bad person. There was no need to create a mortal enmity.
What if he truly reached Qingzhou and summoned the Human Sword Master?
Without mortal enmity, there was no need to take things to the extreme!
Leave room in all things, for better meetings in the future!
Hearing Jiang Fan’s words, Ye Guan nodded slightly. “Good!”
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Guan. “Brother Ye, please give your full effort!”
Ye Guan said, “Of course!”
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. He suddenly charged forward, thrusting out fiercely with his long spear!
A chilling point appeared!
When Ye Guan saw this chilling point, a terrifying spear momentum had already enveloped him. Ye Guan did not strike but retreated backwards!
Yet Jiang Fan’s speed grew faster and faster!
Thrusts swift as wind, fierce as rain!
Ye Guan retreated again and again. His retreat was neither fast nor slow, each time just barely dodging Jiang Fan’s thrusts!
However, Jiang Fan’s speed continued to increase!
Each spear came closer and closer to Ye Guan, yet Ye Guan still did not strike. He only stared fixedly at Jiang Fan before him.
Finally, after retreating nearly hundreds of zhang, Jiang Fan suddenly stopped. He quickly retreated backwards!
In that period just now, he had thrust at least tens of thousands of times, and now he was somewhat exhausted. Thus, he decisively halted and retreated to catch his breath before continuing. But just then, Ye Guan suddenly vanished from the spot like a ghost!
Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted sharply. He suddenly spun his long spear in a dance. In an instant, the space around him twisted directly. Terrifying spear beams encircled him, forming a powerful protective barrier!
However, the surroundings suddenly fell quiet!
Because Ye Guan did not strike. He simply stood not far away, quietly watching Jiang Fan!
Seeing this, Jiang Fan’s expression immediately became unsightly. He suddenly roared in anger, charged forward, and swung his spear fiercely. “Iron Stroke!”
As the words fell, a hundred-zhang crimson spear beam surged forth. The space hundreds of zhang ahead instantly shattered!
By then, Ye Guan had already retreated to a hundred zhang on the right!
Ye Guan looked at Jiang Fan, still not striking!
Seeing this, Jiang Fan’s expression immediately darkened. In the next moment, he leaped up, thrusting fiercely towards Ye Guan. Countless spear beams surged from the spear tip!
At that moment, Ye Guan vanished from the spot again!
Chi!
Jiang Fan’s thrust missed once more!
In the instant it missed, Jiang Fan seemed to sense something. He spun around fiercely. At that moment, a flying sword slashed towards him!
Jiang Fan hurriedly blocked horizontally with his spear!
Boom!
Jiang Fan retreated violently!
Before he could steady himself, another flying sword slashed towards him!
Boom!
Jiang Fan retreated again!
In the field, a terrifying scene unfolded!
Ye Guan simply walked slowly towards Jiang Fan, and with each step he took, a flying sword would slash at Jiang Fan!
Thus, in the gaze of everyone, Jiang Fan retreated again and again!
Soon, Jiang Fan had also retreated hundreds of zhang in succession!
Complete suppression!
Just then, Ye Guan suddenly vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was behind Jiang Fan, holding an energy sword in his hand!
Sensing this, Jiang Fan’s expression changed dramatically. He spun around fiercely, about to strike, but just then, a flying sword slashed from behind him!
Man and sword separated!
This was a sword technique Ye Guan had comprehended himself!
Separating man from sword, true within false, false within true, making it impossible for the opponent to distinguish!
Feeling the sword slashing from behind, Jiang Fan’s face instantly turned ashen!
He knew he had lost!
If he turned, the Ye Guan in front would strike with his sword. If he did not turn, the sword behind would take his life!
Most importantly, Ye Guan’s sword was too fast, far too fast!
Fast to the point he could not dodge at all!
Jiang Fan did not strike again!
And that flying sword did not kill Jiang Fan. It simply rested against the nape of his neck!
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Guan. “I lost!”
Ye Guan said, “You let me win!”
With that, he gently waved his right hand, and the energy sword at Jiang Fan’s nape immediately dissipated.
Jiang Fan looked at Ye Guan, his expression complex. “Your flying sword speed is truly fast!”
Ye Guan smiled faintly. “Thank you!”
Jiang Fan shook his head. He opened his palm, and a white jade bottle flew to Ye Guan. “These are recovery pills! After taking them, you can quickly restore your profound energy and stamina!”
Ye Guan did not refuse. He took the white jade bottle. “Many thanks!”
Jiang Fan said, “Brother Ye, your matter is too complicated. I am alone with a weak clan and cannot help you much… Take care!”
With that, he turned and left!
Ye Guan glanced at the departing Jiang Fan in the distance, then turned back to Ji Xuan. “Let us set off!”
Ji Xuan nodded!
Soon, the two boarded the cosmos ship, and the cosmos ship set sail once more!
Ye Guan stood at the bow of the cosmos ship. He looked into the depths of the distant starry sky, silent.
Ji Xuan walked to Ye Guan’s side. She said softly, “This time, I was somewhat surprised!”
Ye Guan looked at Ji Xuan. Ji Xuan smiled. “I originally thought that everyone coming from the Guanxuan Universe would target you to the death, but unexpectedly, many are quite sensible!”
Ye Guan nodded.
In this world, there are bad people, and there are good people.
Even in the Guanxuan Academy, there are good and bad.
One cannot condemn everything with a single stroke!
This journey to Qingzhou was for nothing else but to seek justice for himself!
Justice!
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes and said in his heart, “Pagoda Master, do you think the Human Sword Master will give me justice?”
The small pagoda said calmly, “If he does not give you justice, just kill him! I will support you spiritually!”
Ye Guan’s expression stiffened.
The mysterious voice said, “Small Pagoda, you are playing with fire!”
The small pagoda said calmly, “What does it have to do with me? Their family has always had the gene and tradition of patricide. Three generations now! All three generations have had thoughts of patricide. I am truly impressed with this family! Especially this bastard, who not only has thoughts of patricide but also matricide. Each generation stronger than the last. Truly outrageous! Alas, what sin have I committed… They are all invincible now! All the dirty and tiring work falls to me… When will it ever end?”
At this moment, it truly felt aggrieved and bitter!
One pagoda passed down three generations, each generation more abnormal!
The more it thought, the more aggrieved it felt!
…
The readers have also followed three generations. What a bond!
How many readers have followed from Invincible Sword Domain to now…
Every time I see many old readers, I am truly happy. When you curse me, curse me for dragging things out, curse me for slacking, curse me for short chapters, I am actually happy too.
Cursing proves someone is reading, proves they care.
If no one curses, that proves no one cares anymore. No one is reading!
Grateful to all readers who come to read my book!
Soon, two characters you would never expect will appear. Feel free to guess in the comments!
