I Have A Sword

Chapter 111: The Sword Master?

When the Chosen One’s words fell, the divine seal shook violently, and a white Dao word flew out from the divine seal. It left a dazzling trail of light as it streaked across the sky.

Boom!

The scenery blurred once more as the power of Heaven and Earth distorted everything. The earth and even the mountains flanking the valley trembled beneath the devastating power. The onlookers were horrified; they were witnessing the might of the Heavenly Dao!

The invisible power was strong enough to kill a Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator. It was indeed an ultimate move.

The Heavenly Dao was now involved, so no one knew how the battle would unfold.

Everyone stared intently at Ye Guan. Is this the end of his journey, or would he defy the Heavenly Dao and live?

Ye Guan defying the Heavenly Dao meant defying the Guanxuan Academy.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was under the control of the Guanxuan Academy.

Ye Guan stared at the Dao word of the Heavenly Dao and asked, “Master Pagoda, am I staring at the Heavenly Dao right now?”

Little Pagoda answered, “Yes!”

Ye Guan asked, “Shouldn’t the Heavenly Dao be impartial?”

Little Pagoda answered, “The Heavenly Dao has never been impartial. Fairness is perceived by the human heart.”

Fairness is perceived by the human heart. Ye Guan chuckled.

He had always admired the Guanxuan Academy because of the Guanxuan Law.

Ye Guan thought that the Guanxuan Academy was the universe’s advocate of justice, but he recently realized that he was mistaken. Both good and evil existed within the Guanxuan Academy.

Master Pagoda was right. Fairness was perceived by the human heart, and everyone’s standard of evil and good wasn’t absolute. If the Heavenly Dao were fair, Ye Guan would obey the Heavenly Dao, but if it weren’t fair, he would defy it.

Ye Guan’s eyes flashed violently. He stretched out with his right hand and summoned the Path Sword.

He stomped and shot into the sky.

Hum!

The resonant hum of the Path Sword pierced everyone’s ears. A bright flash of light briefly blinded everyone as Ye Guan enveloped the Path Sword with his sword force and sword intent.

The onlookers’ faces turned solemn.

The young swordsman from Nanzhou was really going to defy the Heavenly Dao.

They could understand his decision because they would have made the same choice as him if he were in his shoes. After all, he could only make one choice out of two choices: either defy the Heavenly Dao or die.

Ye Guan had evidently decided to defy the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao was the embodiment of the universe’s order. The onlookers stared with wide eyes, afraid that they would miss even a single detail.

Under the onlookers’ intense gazes, Ye Guan swung the Path Sword at the Dao word.

Boom!

The onlookers stared at Ye Guan with bated breaths. They were expecting to see Ye Guan being torn to shreds and dying on the spot, but their eyes soon bulged in shock. An incredulous sight was unfolding before them.

Rip!

Ye Guan’s sword split the Dao character.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed, and the divine seal—as well as the giant array that had manifested earlier—turned into ashes. However, Ye Guan’s sword was still moving, and it made a beeline for the Eye of the Heavenly Dao!

A figure was within the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, and it was infuriated upon seeing Ye Guan’s actions.

“A mere mortal dares to defy me?”

Crackle!

The next moment, destructive bolts of lightning flashed across the sky.

Heavenly Tribulation!

The onlookers were stunned. A Heavenly Tribulation wasn’t that rare because Divine Tribulation Realm cultivators would have to survive a Heavenly Tribulation before they could step onto the next realm.

However, the Heavenly Tribulation in front of them was obviously not an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation.

Ye Guan’s eyes shone fiercely as he yelled, “Break!”

Boom!

The Path Sword split the Heavenly Tribulation clouds.

Hum!

The Path Sword let out a resonant hum as it flew and pierced the Eye of the Heavenly Dao in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao was destroyed, and the blurry world returned to normal.

Shock rippled through the onlookers, and they stood as still as statues.

Did Ye Guan just destroy the Eye of the Heavenly Dao? Did he really just do that?

The onlookers were bewildered as they stared incredulously at Ye Guan.

“Ye Guan, you must not destroy the Heavenly Dao!” shouted Gu Chaoyuan.

The Heavenly Dao was being pinned to the ground by the Path Sword.

It was still alive.

Ye Guan turned to look at Gu Chaoyuan.

“The Heavenly Dao represents the order of the universe and the Guanxuan Academy. The Guanxuan Law also states that no one is allowed to harm the spirits of the world.

”The Heavenly Dao is a spirit, and killing it means that you can no longer be redeemed,” said Gu Chaoyuan. He didn’t have any ill intentions because he was aware that Ye Guan and Ye Guanzhi were friends.

Gu Chaoyuan was also confident that the Main Guanxuan Academy would forgive Ye Guan as long as he spared the Heavenly Dao.

After all, Ye Guan displayed such unprecedented talent today, so the Main Guanxuan Academy would definitely accept Ye Guan as a student. In addition, the An Clan had been the aggressor all this while.

Gu Chaoyuan was sure that even those aristocratic families and great clans would have nothing to say. Ye Guan was also a Sword Sovereign despite his young age, so Ye Guanzhi’s department would definitely rope him in as if their life depended on it.

Ye Guanzhi could also make the people behind her get involved in the decision-making process, which would definitely silence the aristocratic families and the great clans. After all, there were quite a number of people supporting her in the Department of Arts. Ye Guanzhi’s master was also Department Chief Shuxian..

The aristocratic families and the great clans of the Main Guanxuan Academy would definitely stand aside to let him into the Main Guanxuan Academy.

However, it would be a different story if Ye Guan killed the Heavenly Dao. Ye Guan’s enemies would have enough justification to kill him, and Ye Guanzhi would no longer be able to argue her way into making the higher-ups accept Ye Guan as a student.

In other words, Ye Guan would be digging his own grave if he decided to kill the Heavenly Dao. Ye Guan went silent in mid-air. Of course, he was aware of what would happen if he decided to kill the Heavenly Dao.

The Guanxuan Law stated that no one should harm the Heavenly Dao, even if it had made a mistake.

The Guanxuan Academy was the only entity allowed to punish the Heavenly Dao, and those daring enough to harm it would face extremely severe consequences of up to the tenth degree!

The severity of the punishment that one would receive for breaking the Guanxuan Law went up to twelve degrees. In other words, murdering the Heavenly Dao was a serious crime.

The Heavenly Dao looked up at Ye Guan and jeered, “What? Afraid to kill me?”

The Heavenly Dao was not afraid, for it was under the Guanxuan Academy’s protection!

Ye Guan stared deeply at the Heavenly Dao before asking inwardly, “Master Pagoda, should I kill it?”

“The choice is yours,” said Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan nodded. “All right, I’ll trust you, Master Pagoda.”

With that, he raised his sword and swung it menacingly down at Heavenly Dao.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as the Heavenly Dao perished under the Path Sword’s attack. Moments later, the spiritual energy of the Zhongtu Divine Continent rapidly vanished.

The spiritual energy of the Zhongtu Divine Continent declined rapidly, as the Heavenly Dao was the array controller of the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s spiritual energy.

The Heavenly Dao’s death meant that the array would no longer work, which resulted in the rapid draining of the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s spiritual energy.

The blood drained from Gu Chaoyuan's face as he muttered blankly, “It’s over… it’s over…”

Ye Guan had murdered the Heavenly Dao.

Ye Guan had committed a heinous crime, so Ye Guanzhi wouldn’t be able to protect him anymore!

The onlookers were dumbfounded as well.

The Heavenly Dao was murdered?

The onlookers couldn’t quite wrap their heads around it. One thing was for sure—the Heavenly Dao was dead, and Ye Guan killed it.

The Chosen One was in disbelief. He thought that he could easily kill Ye Guan with the help of the Heavenly Dao. He didn’t expect that summoning the Heavenly Dao here would lead to the Heavenly Dao’s death.

Gu Chaoyuan’s voice was trembling as he muttered, “Ye Guan, y-y-you…”

Ye Guan calmly answered, “My Master Pagoda told me to kill it.”

Little Pagoda muttered, “Did I?”

Ye Guan retorted, “You said the choice was mine.”

Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.

Ye Guan added, “You have to bear the karma with me, Master Pagoda.”

Little Pagoda went silent. You’re indeed despicable, all right? I surrender to you.

Just then, Gu Chaoyuan laughed bitterly. “Ye Guan, your Master Pagoda—”

He interrupted himself and sighed.

Ye Guan looked serious as he said, “My Master Pagoda is extremely strong. Really.”

Gu Chaoyuan hesitantly asked, “How strong is he?”

Ye Guan answered, “He said that under three swords, he was invincible. Above three swords, it was one-for-one.”

Little Pagoda didn’t know what to say. Three swords?

Gu Chaoyuan frowned. It’s my first time hearing that?

Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at the Chosen One.

The Chosen One frowned.

Ye Guan wasn’t a fan of unfinished business, so he immediately charged at the Chosen One.

Rumble!

A rift in space abruptly appeared behind the Chosen One, and an arm emerged from it. It grabbed the Chosen One’s shoulder and dragged him away.

Shwik!

Ye Guan frowned upon hitting nothing but air. The Chosen One managed to run away. The thought of chasing after the Chosen One crossed his mind, but he decided otherwise.

It was a pity, but the Chosen One had shattered the spacetime rules to run away, which meant that he was most likely shuttling through space at the moment.

In other words, chasing after the Chosen One would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ye Guan shook his head. He would definitely settle the score the next time they met.

Ji Xuan ran toward Ye Guan and said, “You have to run.”

Ye Guan frowned.

“Hurry up and run!” Ji Xuan repeated. She was aware that Ye Guan would soon be dragged to the Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy to be sentenced because he had violated the Guanxuan Law by killing the Heavenly Dao.

The Main Guanxuan Academy could get involved as well.

Ye Guan thought over it before turning toward Dongli Mo.

Dongli Mo was instantly startled, but before he could react, Ye Guan reappeared right in front of him.

Dongli Mo felt like his heart had popped out of his chest, and he hurriedly clenched his fist to unleash the power of his powerful bloodline.

However, the Path Sword in Ye Guan’s hand shattered the power of his powerful bloodline before it could even congeal.

Dongli Mo was horrified. He was aware of his bloodline’s power. A regular Divine Tribulation Realm cultivator would find it a challenge to shatter his defenses while he was using his bloodline’s power.

In addition, he had forced Ye Guan to retreat a few times earlier using his bloodline’s power. However, he no longer stood a chance against Ye Guan for some inexplicable reason, even though Ye Guan had only decided to wield a real sword.

Dongli Mo’s mind worked hard to think of a way out of this predicament, but the Path Sword had reached his throat.

Ye Guan didn’t kill Dongli Mo. He grabbed the latter and vanished.

Dongli Chen’s expression darkened, and he chased after Ye Guan. Ji Xuan and Ye Qing hurried after him.

Ye Guan dragged Dongli Mo to the Undying World.

Ye Guan saw the old man that he met upon his first visit to the Undying World.

The old man gasped in surprise. “You…!”

Ye Guan ignored the old man and dragged Dongli Mo deeper into the Undying World, and a few hundred powerful divine senses locked onto him the moment he stepped into the depths of the Undying World.

Dongli Chen appeared not too far away from Ye Guan.

Ye Guan held the Path Sword at Dongli Mo’s throat and said, “Senior, I have no ill intentions. I just want to borrow an item.”

Dongli Chen stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, “What do you want?”

Ye Guan exclaimed, “The Qingxuan Sword!”

“No way!” Dongli Chen snapped, “There’s no way I’ll give that sword to you.”

Ye Guan’s expression was indifferent as he stared at Dongli Chen and said, “I’m going to collect what I’m owed one way or another, so you can either lend me the Qingxuan Sword or…”

Ye Guan glanced at Dongli Mo before continuing. “Dongli Mo chose to team up with An Daoxin to kill me. It should be fine for me to retaliate and kill him, right?”

Dongli Chen glared at Ye Guan and roared, “Ye Guan! You're a monstrous talent, and your Dao Protector is extremely powerful, but you’re in front of the Undying Clan!”

Dongli Chen pointed at the statue of the Sword Master not too far away from the Undying Clan’s great hall and bellowed, “The Undying Clan is under the Sword Master’s protection! Your Dao Protector is strong, but can she defeat the Sword Master? Don’t go too far, or I’ll summon the Sword Master!”
