I Have a Sword

Chapter 789: Total Annihilation

Annihilate my entire clan? Ye Guan was thrilled, and he decisively swiped his hand across Xuan Ming's neck.

Swish!

Xuan Ming's head took to the sky, and blood spurted like a fountain from his headless corpse. Then, Xuan Ming's soul was absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword.

Ye Guan looked up into the void and saw an old man walking toward him with a domineering aura that sent waves across the spacetime nearby.

The old man's aura was so powerful that the dense spacetime around him crumbled as his aura swept past it.

The old man was a full divinity expert.

Ye Guan was astonished to realize that the old man was far stronger than the full divinity experts of the Forest Civilization, even though they were technically in the same cultivation realm.

Ye Guan recalled something just the and turned to Yi Nian. “Can you go inside the tiny pagoda?"

Yi Nian glanced at the old man in the distance and nodded. "Okay."

With that, she entered the tiny pagoda. She wasn't really interested in fighting, and she had never really fought before.

Upon confirming that Yi Nian was inside the tiny pagoda, Ye Guan turned to the old man in the distance.

The old man stared at Ye Guan, and his gaze was like a sharp blade as he muttered, "Your entire clan will be annihi—"

Rumble!

The old man couldn't even finish his sentence as a spacetime rift manifested before him.

A sword burst out of the rift at breakneck speeds.

Ye Guan didn't use the Qingxuan Sword. He wanted to fight a hundred percent divinity cultivator with his true strength.

The elder's eyes narrowed. He flicked his hand, and a terrifying wave of energy swept out.

Bang!

The sword made from sword intent was shattered instantly, but countless swords made out of sword intent appeared above the old man.

BOOM!

The swords shattered, but the old man was blasted hundreds of meters away. The old man twisted in midair and swung his fist, sending a fist imprint toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan willed, and his sword intent manifested, creating a shield in front of him.

Crackle!

The shield shattered instantly upon getting hit by the fist imprint, and Ye Guan was blasted away.

The old man saw that as an opportunity to kill Ye Guan, so he stepped forward and swung his fist.

Rumble!

Multiple spacetime rifts manifested around him, and tens of thousands of swords shot out of them.

A fierce light flashed in the old man's eyes, and with a roar like thunder, he stomped forward with his right foot. The nearby spacetime shattered along with Ye Guan's sword.

The old man was about to make another move, but he sensed something and stared at Ye Guan in the distance.

Ye Guan was slowly rising into the air, and a scroll in the shape of a sword was floating above his head.

The Stellar Sword Scroll.

With a thought from Ye Guan, the scroll trembled and transformed into an endless star field behind him.

The next moment, a deluge of swords made from stellar energy burst out of the star field.

Every single one of the swords was enhanced by Ye Guan's Invincible Sword Intent, so each one of them carried a devastating force capable of sundering even the Heavens itself.

The old man's pupils quivered at the sight. He dared not be careless as he took a step forward, summoning a towering phantom behind him.

He put his hands together, and the phantom did the same.

Columns of fire erupted ahead of him.

BOOM!

A thunderous boom echoed as Ye Guan's attack collided with the columns of fire. The collision was so strong that the nearby spacetime was disintegrated into nothingness.

The two exchanged attacks just like that for about a quarter of an hour before Ye Guan suddenly turned into a sword light, charging straight at the phantom.

A fierce glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He roared, and a wave of fire rushed out of the phantom.

Boom!

The entire battlefield was instantly set ablaze.

When Ye Guan's attack collided with the phantom. An awe-inspiring explosion unfolded.

Both Ye Guan and the old man were blasted away; they crossed thousands of meters before they could stop.

Ye Guan almost fell into the void as soon as he came to a halt. He was completely drained. The Stellar Sword Scroll was just too exhausting for him to use.

Furthermore, the old man was just too strong, making Ye Guan feel like collapsing to the floor in exhaustion.

He was so exhausted that even the Life Force Heart and the Divine Tree of Nature were struggling to help him recover.

Ye Guan looked up at the old man in the distance.

The old man wasn't in great shape either; his divine statue was shattered, and he was covered in sword wounds.

The old man looked up and was stupefied upon seeing that Ye Guan was still standing. His expression became grim. Ye Guan had only accumulated twenty percent divinity so far, but his combat prowess far exceeded that realm.

The old man finally realized that he had underestimated Ye Guan. To make matters worse, Ye Guan's injuries were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his right hand into a fist.

Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Wanna talk?"

The old man sneered, asking, "What? You want to buy yourself some time?"

Swoosh!

The old man transformed into a beam of black light that made a beeline for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was exhausted, but he couldn't afford to think about that right now, as the old man was charging at him.

Left with no other choice, he transformed into a ray of sword light and charged at the old man as well.

Shwing!

A sharp, ear-piercing noise echoed as Ye Guan unsheathed his sword.

With that, the two began their exchange of moves once more.

***

An old man in hemp clothing appeared at the entrance of the Asura Civilization's Forbidden Region.

He was about to step forward and enter the Forbidden Region when a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of him.

The white-haired elder chuckled "Taia Nan, this isn't a place you can enter that easily."

Taia Nan cast an indifferent gaze at the white-haired elder. "Xuan Zhe, I'm here to see the Supreme Scholar."

Xuan Zhe sneered, "Do you really that I'll let you do that?"

Taia Nan stared wordlessly at Xuan Zhe.

Xuan Zhe chuckled. "That young swordsman doesn't have anything to do with your clan, does he? Why have you guys decided to stand against our Xuan Clan for him?"

"Have you forgotten how your Xuan Clan had schemed against my clan first?"

Xuan Zhe shrugged. "Nothing can be done about it; Taia Jiang was just too dumb."

Taia Nan remained silent.

Xuan Zhe smirked and said, "Don't be mad, you know I’m a straightforward person and like to tell the truth, haha..."

Taia Nan closed his eyes without making a move or leaving.

Xuan Zhe looked up at the distant sky and chuckled. "That young swordsman must be dead by now."

Taia Nan remained quiet

Just as Xuan Zhe was about to speak, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared beside Taia Nan and whispered something to him.

Taia Nan's eyes shot wide open, and he looked at Xuan Zhe. "Let's spar!"

With that, he transformed into a black beam of light and charged at Xuan Zhe.

Xuan Zhe's face darkened, and worry flashed in his eyes. Had the tables turned somehow?

***

Somewhere inside the Forbidden Region, an old man and a young woman were watching the fight between Taia Nan and Xuan Zhe.

The old man was dressed in luxurious robes. He had a bed of white hair and a decent beard. Overall, he looked like a kind old man next door.

Meanwhile, the young woman looked to be around nineteen years of age; she had an elegant demeanor that could not be ignored.

This white-haired old man was none other than the Clan Leader of the Asura clan, Asura Xiao.

Asura Xiao smiled and asked, "Why do you think the Taia Clan would do such a thing?"

The young woman calmly replied, "The Xuan Clan had schemed against the Taia Clan first, and the Taia Clan is simply retaliating."

Asura Xiao looked at the young woman and smiled. "Are you hiding something from me?"

The young woman was silent.

A complex look flashed across her grandfather's eyes. "I know that you've been discriminated against in the clan due to your background, and it gave birth to your cautious and wary disposition. As your grandfather, I completely understand your feelings."

The young woman looked down and remained silent.

Asura Xiao added, "Since your cousin's untimely death, the other clans have been waiting—waiting for our Asura Clan to decline completely. Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed."

Asura Xiao stared deeply at the young woman. He easily saw through her cultivation base—she was an overwhelmingly powerful full divinity expert.

This was unprecedented in the Asura Civilization, and even more amazing was that she was about to open her own unique path. She was a never-before-seen talent, even throughout the entire Asura Civilization. Unfortunately, her lowly birth meant that she had been discriminated against in the clan since she was young, and even her mother had died at the hands of the Asura Clan. Thus, she had little affection for the Asura Clan.

Fortunately, we can still salvage this, Asura Xiao thought.

"That young swordsman isn't simple," said the young woman.

"Tell me more."

The young woman calmly explained, "He has accumulated only twenty percent divinity, but his true combat power is no less than that of a cultivator with a hundred percent divinity. But if it were just that, the Supreme Scholar wouldn't value him so much. The mysterious expert from a Tier Four civilization wouldn't find him valuable enough as well. In addition, he was daring enough to actually visit our Asura Civilization."

Asura Xiao's eyes narrowed.

The young woman added, "From my investigation, he's curious rather than fearful. That means he has seen stronger civilizations, or he's from a particularly powerful civilization."

Asura Xiao said in a deep voice. "A Tier Four civilization?"

"Possibly."

Asura Xiao's face darkened.

The young woman added, "However, this is also an opportunity for our Asura Civilization. The sword in his hand definitely surpasses any sword that a Tier Three civilization can produce. The wielder’s individual strength will improve exponentially, and they might even reach brand-new heights with the help of that sword."

Asura Xiao frowned.

The young woman glanced at the two people still fighting in the distance and suggested, "The Asura Civilization has two choices: First of all, we make friends with him, but this is risky because if he's actually from a Tier Four civilization, he could bring their experts to destroy our Asura Civilization. The second choice and last choice is to kill him now and seize his divine items. We can then equip our Asura Civilization with his divine items, and we'll become extremely powerful with their help."

"But if he's from a Tier Four civilization..." Asura Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Then, we definitely have to kill him," said the young woman.

Asura Xiao was stunned.

The young woman added, "High-tier civilizations never show mercy to low-tier civilizations."

Asura Xiao was silent.

The young woman closed her eyes and went silent. However, there was one thing she refrained from speaking out loud. Attacking an unknown enemy rashly is foolish, especially when the young swordsman showed no hostility whatsoever upon visiting the Asura civilization.

If the decision were up to her, she would befriend him like what the Supreme Scholar had done.

They didn't have to be enemies; they could form an alliance and share their technologies with each other to become even stronger together.

However, the young woman had no plans of saying what she truly thought. The total annihilation of the Asura Civilization... wouldn't that be a good thing?
