Master Of The Blade Chapter 1961

“We are invincible—do as you please!”

Confidence!

The old man’s words brimmed with unshakable, invincible confidence!

And they had every right to feel that way. In their eyes, this Burial Domain Universe was nothing more than a low-tier civilization. Let alone Ye Xuan—even the Snow Mountain King, the pinnacle of this universe, was insignificant to them!

Their desire to annihilate this universe wasn’t out of fear of the Snow Mountain King or anyone else—it was simply to avoid unnecessary hassle.

All eyes in the scene turned to Ye Xuan.

In everyone’s mind, Ye Xuan was undoubtedly the most mysterious figure. They all knew he had someone backing him, but no one knew just how powerful that person was!

Could they be stronger than this old man?

No one knew, but everyone thought it unlikely!

The old man’s strength had already surpassed the scope of this universe!

At that moment, Gu Chou, standing nearby, suddenly chuckled lightly, “Your Excellency, don’t you think you’re being a bit too arrogant?”

The old man glanced at Gu Chou. “It’s not that I’m too arrogant—it’s that your perspectives are too narrow. You have no idea what a true powerhouse is! You’re still fumbling with the Dao of Space-Time. So far, only the Snow Mountain King has transcended its limits. But do you know that where we come from, our people begin studying the highest levels of Space-Time from birth? What you spend your entire lives pursuing—the pinnacle of the Space-Time Dao—our people possess from the moment they’re born!”

He shook his head with a smile. “You and us? We’re not even on the same plane.”

Dimensional suppression!

Silence fell over the crowd!

Arrogant?

Yes, incredibly arrogant!

But he had the strength to back it up.

The old man then turned to Ye Xuan. “What are you waiting for?”

Ye Xuan felt a bit helpless.

He realized, as Gu Chou had said, that he seemed to naturally attract enmity. This old man had originally targeted the Snow Mountain King and Gu Chou, but now he’d suddenly shifted his focus to Ye Xuan, even demanding he call for help!

If you didn’t call someone, he acted like you were looking down on him!

What to do?

At that moment, Gu Chou stepped up beside Ye Xuan and looked up at the old man in the sky, whispering, “Brother Ye, are you worried that the person behind you can’t handle this old guy? If that’s your concern, let me tell you—I just read this old man’s fate. If you let him sense your sister, he’s as good as dead.”

He turned to Ye Xuan. “My fortune-telling is spot-on!”

Ye Xuan: “…”

Just then, the old man pointed at the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand. “The one who forged this sword—is that the person behind you?”

Gu Chou quickly nodded. “Yes! If Your Excellency thinks you’re invincible, why don’t you try sensing her?”

With that, he snatched the Qingxuan Sword from Ye Xuan’s hand and hurriedly presented it to the old man.

Ye Xuan: “…”

Gu Chou pointed at the sword. “Go ahead!”

The old man smiled faintly. “As you wish!”

He reached out and grasped the Qingxuan Sword, while Gu Chou swiftly retreated to the side.

The old man closed his eyes slowly, and the Qingxuan Sword in his hand began to tremble.

Everyone watched him intently.

Then, the old man’s brows furrowed slightly. He hadn’t yet sensed the Plain-Skirt Lady, but he already felt danger!

At the same time, a trace of unease rose in his heart!

Gu Chou, down below, suddenly laughed. “What’s the hold-up? Don’t tell me you’re scared?”

The crowd’s expressions grew strange!

The old man glanced at Gu Chou and sneered, “Scared? Ridiculous!”

With that, he closed his eyes again!

The Qingxuan Sword trembled more violently!

The old man’s frown deepened as the unease in his heart intensified. He’d never felt anything like this before!

Could the other side truly be a supreme powerhouse?

With that thought, the old man decided to give up!

He was confident, but he didn’t consider himself invincible. The growing unease made it clear that whoever was on the other end was no ordinary figure!

Time to stop!

Just as he was about to let go, he suddenly looked up, his pupils shrinking. “I’ve sensed…”

*Slash!*

At that moment, a sword light shot out from nowhere!

Seeing the sword, the old man’s eyes widened in shock. He tried to react, but the moment the thought of fighting back crossed his mind, the sword light pierced straight through his forehead.

*Boom!*

His physical body vanished instantly, leaving only his soul—and even that was rapidly dissipating at a visible rate.

Everyone froze in place!

The scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Gone in a flash!

The crowd was thunderstruck, their minds blank!

What kind of strength did this old man have? He could overpower the Snow Mountain King! Yet this supreme powerhouse had been obliterated in an instant?

Not just the onlookers—even the Snow Mountain King and Gu Chou felt their hearts surge like tidal waves.

Especially the Snow Mountain King, who knew the old man’s power all too well. He never imagined he’d be taken out like that—across countless star domains, no less!

Just how strong was the one who did this?

Gu Chou and the Snow Mountain King’s faces grew unprecedentedly grave.

Not far off, the still-fading old man stared in bewildered disbelief. “This can’t be… It’s absolutely impossible…”

Gu Chou shrugged. “Face reality—you’re done!”

The crowd: “…”

The old man glared at Gu Chou, his voice hollow. “Impossible… So far away… How could she kill me instantly… I didn’t even have a chance to fight back… How is this possible…”

Gu Chou blinked. “I sympathize with your plight, but honestly, I’m kinda enjoying this!”

The crowd: “…”

The old man fixed Gu Chou with a venomous stare. “You think you’ve won? No! My death will only enrage those above. You all…”

Gu Chou cut in, “We’ve got Brother Ye’s sister! She can take on your whole crew solo!”

Ye Xuan: “…”

The old man: “…”

The old man glanced at the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, then vanished completely!

Erased for real!

Truly gone!

The crowd remained silent.

What happened today was just too surreal.

Gu Chou murmured, “A living person, gone just like that.”

The crowd: “…”

Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand.

Happy?

He wasn’t happy at all!

Because he knew bigger trouble was likely on its way!

Without overthinking, Ye Xuan glanced at Gu Chou, the Snow Mountain King, and the others. “Are you all still fighting?”

Still fighting?

At Ye Xuan’s words, the Evil Clan members and Fan Jian’s group looked uneasy!

Fight on?

Just then, Fan Jian pointed upward. “Look!”

Everyone looked up—the stone gate in the sky was still there, unvanished!

Seeing this, their expressions grew solemn.

Ye Xuan turned to the Snow Mountain King. “Senior, do you know what kind of force that is?”

The Snow Mountain King shook his head. “Long ago, I sensed them, but back then, my strength wasn’t enough to breach the space-time channel!”

Ye Xuan scanned the group. “Everyone, a small suggestion: You all know that old man’s death isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning! Soon enough, the force behind that stone gate will come for us again.”

Silence.

Ye Xuan continued, “Don’t pin your hopes on me. I can’t contact my sister. Unless they actively use the Qingxuan Sword to seek her out, she won’t act against them. Understand?”

Fan Jian suddenly asked, “Young Master Ye, where’s your sister now?”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “I don’t know!”

With that, he turned to leave.

But at that moment, a terrifying aura surged down from within the stone gate!

Everyone in the field looked up.

Ye Xuan stopped, a headache brewing.

Damn it!

Not even a moment to catch his breath!

This was a death sentence!

Then, the stone gate swung open, and a middle-aged man stepped out, clad in a brocade robe. The instant he appeared, the space-time of the entire world turned illusory!

At this sight, everyone’s faces grew grave.

The man glanced down at the crowd and smiled faintly. “Who killed that old man just now?”

Below, everyone turned in unison to look at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan’s face darkened, a million horses stampeding through his mind.

The man’s gaze settled on Ye Xuan. After a moment, he glanced at the others. “You’re not joking, right?”

They hurriedly shook their heads.

Ye Xuan: “…”

The man looked back at Ye Xuan, then chuckled lightly. “You don’t look like someone who could kill a Heartless Realm expert!”

Ye Xuan said gravely, “Heartless Realm?”

The man nodded. “A realm from our world!”

Ye Xuan studied him. “And where’s that?”

The man smiled. “The Dao临界—Dao Boundary!”

Ye Xuan shook his head. “Never heard of it!”

The man laughed. “That’s normal!”

He then turned to the Snow Mountain King. “Originally, we were from two separate worlds. You lived your lives, we lived ours. But you insisted on shattering that peace…”

Fan Jian interjected, “We won’t go to your world!”

Truthfully, aside from the Snow Mountain King, though they were curious about this so-called Dao Boundary, they knew they weren’t qualified to step into it. The power gap was too vast!

At this point, barging into someone else’s territory would be suicide, wouldn’t it?

The man smiled. “We could’ve coexisted peacefully, but you killed one of ours!”

Fan Jian opened her mouth but stopped. Then, a Fate-Knowing Sage behind her pointed at Ye Xuan. “He did it—it’s got nothing to do with us!”

Ye Xuan glanced at the sage but said nothing.

The man looked at Ye Xuan, smiling silently.

Ye Xuan turned to the crowd. They all stayed quiet, no one speaking up.
