I Have A Sword

Chapter 127: You Don’t Even Have A Proper Sword

Gu Hao was the youngest Marquis in all of history after he was bestowed the title of Marquis due to his breakthrough in the Saber Sovereign Realm. The onlookers were surprised that the Gu Clan would send someone to hunt Ye Guan down.

They were determined not to let Ye Guan enter Qingzhou.

Qiao Xingyao frowned deeply as she looked at Gu Hao. She didn’t expect to see Gu Hao here.

She transmitted her voice to Ye Guan using profound energy and said, “His name is Gu Hao, and he’s from the Gu Clan, which is one of the four great clans in the Main Guanxuan Academy.

”The Gu Clan is the strongest clan in the Main Guanxuan Academy. They’re so powerful and influential that the Committee has to tread lightly in matters concerning them.”

Ye Guan stared at the approaching Gu Hao in silence. It seemed that he was about to fight a true powerhouse.

Gu Hao came to a halt. He stared at Ye Guan from afar and jeered, “Young Lord Ye, I’m afraid you’ll die here today, so you won’t get to visit the Time Paradise.”

Gu Hao looked around before continuing. “The stars are pretty here. It’s a great grave for the likes of you.”

Ye Guan said blandly, “I think it won’t be too difficult to annihilate your clan.”

Qiao Xingyao turned to look at Ye Guan in horror.

Meanwhile, Gu Hao’s eyes narrowed, and his expression turned cold.

“I mean, who doesn’t know how to brag?” asked Ye Guan.

“Pfft!” Qiao Xingyao erupted into laughter, but she hurriedly stopped herself. However, her quivering shoulders made it obvious that she couldn’t control her laughter at all.

This is inappropriate… Qiao Xingyao thought to herself as she held her laughter in while staring at Ye Guan. Ye Guan was an interesting man. He was markedly different compared to the typical stoic swordsmen.

Gu Hao glared at Ye Guan and said, “There are some things in this world that are off-limits. Otherwise, you—”

Ye Guan shook his head and interrupted. “Marquis Hao, are you here to talk to me, or are you here to kill me? You’re here to kill me, right? Come on, attack me with your strongest move instead of running your mouth. Can your mouth kill?”

A few lurkers in the shadows nodded. Ye Guan was indeed an entertaining young man to behold, but he was right. Marquis Hao was supposed to kill him, so why was Marquis Hao talking to him?

Wouldn’t it be better for him to be more direct?

Gu Hao’s eyes shone in a sharp light.

Ye Guan glanced at Qiao Xingyao and said, “Lady Qiao, please move aside.”

Qiao Xingyao nodded, and she moved to one corner with Ji Xuan.

Soon, an arena was created for Ye Guan and Gu Hao.

Gu Hao’s gaze turned sinister, and he abruptly rushed at Ye Guan with his saber.

Swoosh!

Space collapsed as Gu Hao’s saber drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Gu Hao’s saber still hadn’t arrived, but Ye Guan could already feel its power. The saber was seemingly as heavy as ten thousand mountains, and it threatened to squash Ye Guan into a pancake.

The saber also emitted a unique wave of energy that suppressed Ye Guan’s speed.

Ye Guan stomped and dashed with his sword. He had decided to face the attack head-on.

A deluge of sword energy gathered at the tip of Ye Guan’s sword as the two weapons collided with each other.

Boom!

Sword and saber light briefly illuminated the starry skies.

Ye Guan’s sword shattered upon impact.

Gu Hao saw that, and he quickly swung his saber.

Rumble!

A cacophony of noises echoed as Gu Hao’s saber tore space apart.

Clang!

There was a collision, and a figure retreated backward. It was Ye Guan!

Gu Hao was thrilled to see Ye Guan’s retreat.

He rushed forward with his saber—victory was already right in front of him!

Ye Guan abruptly vanished from his spot, and a shrill noise echoed as Ye Guan’s sword reappeared in front of Gu Hao.

Gu Hao scoffed, but he didn’t retreat.

Ye Guan’s sword made out of sword energy was no match for his saber.

There was no way Ye Guan could overpower him in a direct collision.

Boom!

As expected, Ye Guan’s sword was destroyed once again.

Ye Guan teleported like a ghost behind Gu Hao.

Gu Hao whipped around, but Ye Guan retreated. He decided not to attack Gu Hao for some reason.

Gu Hao was surprised by Ye Guan’s decision, but little did he know that a sword had silently manifested behind him.

Ye Guan was perfectly capable of manipulating his swords in a way that they would move as if they were independent existences. Gu Hao was taken aback by the sneak attack, and he didn’t have enough time to put up a defense.

There was no way he would let himself die just like that, but Gu Hao stood unmoving and allowed the sword to fly toward him.

A stream of black light rushed out from him and created an armor?that protected him.

Bam!

The sword trembled violently. A beam of black light burst from the armor?and struck the sword.

Boom!

The sword was destroyed again.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed at the black armor that Gu Hao was wearing. The armor?shimmering in the dark was made out of jet-black scales intricately pieced together. It was obviously not an ordinary item.

“That’s an Immortal-grade armor!” someone cried out.

The lurkers in the shadows shook their heads in silence.

Gu Hao was a Saber Sovereign, so he had gone too far by wearing an Immortal-grade armor. Of course, there wasn’t anything wrong about wearing armor to battle, but the lurkers in the shadows expected an intense fight between Gu Hao and Ye Guan, not a spiritual artifact?comparison.

They wanted a fight similar to Ye Guan’s fight against Cao Bai. The Sword Sect wasn’t as rich as the Gu Clan, but they weren’t poor enough that they couldn’t afford an Immortal-grade armor?for their exceptionally talented sect members.

However, Cao Bai had faced Ye Guan without an armor.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan remained calm as he stared at Gu Hao. His enemy’s spiritual artifact was indeed better than his own spiritual artifact, and there was nothing wrong with having a better spiritual artifact, as a spiritual artifact?was also a part of a cultivator’s strength.

Gu Hao smirked at Ye Guan and asked, “You don’t mind me wearing an Immortal-grade armor, right?”

“I mind,” said Ye Guan.

Gu Hao was surprised by Ye Guan’s frankness.

“Since I mind, are you going to take it off?” asked Ye Guan.

Gu Hao laughed. “Of course not!”

“Then, why did you even bother asking?” Ye Guan asked, “Were you hoping that I would say the opposite? Would it make you feel better if I had said that I didn’t mind?”

Gu Hao stared agape at Ye Guan.

He was about to say something, but Ye Guan shook his head and continued. “It’s not like I can do something, even if you’re using better spiritual artifacts than me. It constitutes a great proportion of your power, so there’s nothing wrong with wearing excellent spiritual artifacts.

“However, the fact that you asked me such a question makes you appear like the emperor in the emperor’s new clothes, and I’m the boy who called you out for that.”

Gu Hao was about to say something again, but Ye Guan beat him to the chase. “If you’re afraid of other people’s opinions, even though you’re interested in using it, what makes you different from a whore showing off her body by a window?”

Ye Guan’s words echoed throughout the starry skies, and his words felt like sharp needles piercing Gu Hao’s heart.

Gu Hao’s expression turned ugly beyond description. He actually had no plans of using an Immortal-grade armor. He initially wanted to kill Ye Guan swiftly and win a battle that would go down in the annals of history.

However, he had underestimated Ye Guan’s speed.

Earlier, he would have lost if he hadn’t activated the Immortal-grade armor.

In fact, the reason he was so talkative was that he wanted to maintain his image, but he didn’t expect Ye Guan to call him out just like that.

In addition, most cultivators would pretend like they didn’t mind their opponents using better spiritual artifacts?than them. If Ye Guan had done that as well, Gu Hao would have been able to paint a beautiful picture.

However, Ye Guan’s response placed Gu Hao between a rock and a hard place.

Gu Hao took a deep breath to compose himself.

“You’re trying to agitate me,” he said.

Ye Guan shook his head and replied, “You think too highly of yourself.”

Gu Hao jeered, “You’re right. Spiritual artifacts constitute a great portion of one’s strength. If you’re unhappy, you should bring out your spiritual artifacts?as well.”

Ye Guan shook his head and looked around before saying, “Is he really ranked fourth on the Divine Martial List?”

“I—” Gu Hao started.

“Stop talking.” A voice interrupted Gu Hao.

Gu Hao turned around and saw a young man. The young man in a white shirt was holding a long spear.

Gu Hao’s pupils constricted upon seeing the young man.

“Jiang Fan!” he exclaimed.

“Isn’t Jiang Fan ranked third on the Divine Martial List?” someone screamed, “He’s the unrivaled?spearman, Jiang Fan, right?!”

Jiang Fan stared with dissatisfaction at Gu Hao. “Hurry up and return to being a pampered Marquis. Stop bringing shame to the rankers?of the Divine Martial List!”

Gu Hao frowned and snapped, “Jiang Fan! How dare you insult me!”

“How about you?!” Jiang Fan glared and challenged. “Do you dare fight me in a death match? Just you and me, without our clans supporting us.”

Gu Hao’s face fell, but he didn’t dare to respond.

Jiang Fan jeered and scolded, “Gu Hao! Do you really think that we have no idea how you got to your current position as the fourth-strongest ranker on the Divine Martial List?

“I’m pretty sure you still have better armor than that Immortal-grade armor. What was it again? A Supreme Divine-grade armor! That’s right! You relied solely on that armor?to beat Brother Qin Gu.

”We all know, but no one dares to speak up because of your clan. I really didn’t expect that you’d be bold enough to think that your achievements so far were achieved by your efforts alone.”

Jiang Fan humiliated Gu Hao without giving the latter any time to breathe.

“If you’re unhappy, let’s duke it out in a deathmatch. You can use the strongest armor?that you have. I’m not afraid, and I don’t mind,” said Jiang Fan.

Ye Guan’s eyes landed on Gu Hao’s storage ring. If he has even better armor?than what he’s wearing right now, he’s definitely rich!

Gu Hao snickered and said, “Jiang Fan, I’ll duke it out with you in a deathmatch if you want, but step aside. I’m currently in a death match against Ye Guan.”

Jiang Fan frowned and said, “Are you even a man? How come you’re still running away from me, even though I’ve already humiliated you?

“You truly bring nothing but shame to your clan, especially to your crown prince. He must be embarrassed to have such a scoundrel as his fellow clansman.”

Gu Hao ignored Jiang Fan and turned toward Ye Guan.

He gestured and said, “Let’s continue. You should use your spiritual artifact. I don’t want you to say that I’m bullying you here. If you don’t have any spiritual artifacts, tough luck.”

“I won’t use any spiritual artifacts,” Ye Guan responded.

Gu Hao glowered, “Are you looking down on me by not using any spiritual artifact?”

Ye Guan said, “You shouldn’t use spiritual artifacts?as well to level the playing field.”

Gu Hao was astonished, but he quickly recovered and snapped, “Shut it! Do whatever you want, but I’ll use my artifacts.”

With that, Gu Hao charged at Ye Guan with his saber.

Ye Guan abruptly vanished.

Right before they were about to clash, Gu Hao smirked and thought. You don’t even have a proper sword, but you actually want to fight me head-on, you poor swordsman? Can you even handle my spiritual artifacts?

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, the Path Sword appeared in Ye Guan’s hand, replacing the sword made out of sword energy. Ye Guan had no plans of using the Path Sword so soon, but his opponent was too rich for him to ignore that he reluctantly?took it out.
