I Have A Sword

Chapter 170: Who Could Withstand the Path Sword?

Hum!

The Path Sword within Ye Guan let out a resonant hum and trembled violently. The Path Sword shrieked sharply, and the noise it generated was so loud that both heaven and earth quivered upon hearing the Path Sword.

The Heaven and Earth Force around Lu Tian vanished without a trace. The most terrifying part was that spider web-like cracks had formed between heaven and earth.

Everyone was stunned, even Ye Guan!

He hadn’t done anything. The Path Sword moved by itself!

Little Pagoda sounded impressed as he said, “You’re great at bootlicking!”

It was clear that the Path Sword was overjoyed upon hearing Ye Guan’s words, and it couldn’t help but show off. Of course, the Path Sword hadn’t used the full extent of its prowess. Otherwise, both heaven and earth—no, the entire universe would have split open beneath its might.

Lu Tian was stunned. Are you fucking kidding me?

He was shaken. He didn’t expect that the mere humming of Ye Guan’s sword would wipe out his accumulated Heaven and Earth Power. The chains around the Life or Death Stage also failed to completely suppress Ye Guan’s sword.

Ye Guan’s sword had only let out a resonant hum, but it shook the entire world.

Has he become a Great Sword Sovereign?

Lu Tian’s face darkened. That’s impossible, but… can a Sword Sovereign’s sword really generate such a powerful sword hum? That’s impossible as well.

Ye Guan is just an Earth Law Realm cultivator, so there’s no way he’s already a Great Sword Sovereign! Many different thoughts popped up in Lu Tian’s mind as he stared at Ye Guan. His heart was gripped by extreme confusion.

It’s fine if Ye Guan is just a Sword Sovereign, but it’s a different story if Ye Guan has become a Great Sword Sovereign!

Everyone looked at Ye Guan in disbelief. They all thought the same as Lu Tian.

Ye Guan remained silent as he felt embarrassed. The Path Sword had put him between a rock and a hard place by showing off its might. The onlookers were definitely convinced that what had transpired just now was his doing.

There was no way they would believe him, even if he were to tell them that his Path Sword was the one that had made the move, not him.

Ye Guan was also stupefied by the might that the Path Sword had revealed. Indeed, the Path Sword was a terrifying sword. It hadn’t done anything other than release a resonant hum, but its sword hum alone was already so terrifying.

Unfortunately, it also became clear to Ye Guan that the Path Sword was better at using itself than Ye Guan using it.

How could a sword be so overpowered?

At the thought, Ye Guan was convinced that his plain-skirt aunt’s prowess had to be beyond his imagination. Fuck! Master Pagoda fooled me again! What Great Sword Sovereign? Plain-Skirt Aunt is definitely stronger than Great Sword Sovereigns!

Master Pagoda is so shameless, and he only knows how to fool me!

Little Pagoda was speechless as well. He didn’t want the Path Sword to show off its might recklessly, as it could destroy both heaven and earth if it got even a bit careless in controlling its strength.

However, Little Pagoda couldn’t really do anything about the Path Sword. He didn’t even dare to talk back to it, not to mention scolding it.

Who could withstand the Path Sword without Plain-Skirt Destiny to restrain it?

The disciples of the Sword Sect were stupefied. Junior Disciple Ye Guan is actually a Great Sword Sovereign? How did he manage to hide it so well?

Some of them were doubtful, but most of them were already jumping for joy.

“Great Sword Sovereign! He’s so fucking awesome!” shouted a Sword Sect disciple.

The students of the Martial Department stared at the Life or Death Stage with sour faces. Ye Guan is already a Great Sword Sovereign? He’s so young! How come he’s already a Great Sword Sovereign? Is he cheating?

Ye Guan remained silent.

I’m doomed. I showed them strength that doesn’t even belong to me. They’ll think that I’m stronger than I actually am. Fuck! I’m going to be so embarrassed once they find out that I’m not actually a Great Sword Sovereign.

Swoosh!

The Head Military Official suddenly appeared on the stage.

Swoosh!

Chen Guanzi instantly appeared next to Ye Guan, and he calmly stared at the Head Military Official.

The Head Military Official stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, “There are still two months left until the deathmatch. In two months, you two shall fight here again, and it’ll be a fight to the death!”

The Head Military Official disappeared with Lu Tian.

He didn’t even wait for Ye Guan’s response.

Ye Guan frowned. He was obviously unhappy at the interruption.

Chen Guanzi suddenly said, “The Guanxuan Guards have surrounded us, so there’s no point in trying to chase after him and force the match to continue.”

Ye Guan was silent. Chen Guanzi added, “Let’s return to the Sword Sect.”

Ye Guan nodded and said, “All right!”

With that, Chen Guanzi and Ye Guan hopped onto their swords and rushed to the skies. The other disciples of the Sword Sect followed suit and disappeared into the horizon.

A Great Sword Sovereign! Ao Qianqian grinned brightly while staring at the horizon.

It didn’t matter whether Ye Guan was actually a Great Sword Sovereign or not. What mattered the most was everyone’s thoughts. The people were convinced that Ye Guan was a Great Sword Sovereign, so he had to be a Great Sword Sovereign!

He had already convinced everyone, so who would believe him even if he said that he wasn’t a Great Sword Sovereign?

The excitement was palpable on the faces of the powerhouses of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan behind Ao Qianqian. At first, they were confused as to why Ao Qianqian had chosen to stand on Ye Guan’s side.

However, they were no longer confused. In fact, they were awed by their Young Clan Leader’s insight and wisdom. What a young Great Sword Sovereign! He must have broken Great Sword Sovereign Ye Yu’s record as well! What a talented young man!

The difference between Ye Guan’s background and the Chosen One’s background was like the difference between earth and heaven, so they were quite displeased about Ao Qianqian’s decision to support Ye Guan.

However, things would surely change now that Ye Guan had the Sword Sect’s support. The Sword Sect was the number one sect of the universe. In other words, the Chosen One’s supporters wouldn’t dare to play any underhanded tricks anymore.

They wouldn’t be able to bully Ye Guan anymore by sending powerhouses after him.

The Sword Sect would definitely retaliate against those daring enough to bully Ye Guan now that he had become a disciple of the Sword Sect. The battle between the Chosen One and Ye Guan had virtually spread throughout the entire universe by now, so such dirty tricks would only earn the scorn of the universe.

The Martial Department would also not let anyone intervene using dirty tricks.

The Sword Sect and the Martial Department were at odds with each other, but the Martial Department wasn’t filled with brainless people. They also had a bottom line. If the Chosen One were to use his status to suppress Ye Guan like what the An Clan had done, the Martial Department would definitely speak up in protest.

In other words, the Chosen One had no choice but to fight Ye Guan fair and square.

The news about how Ye Guan had already become a Great Sword Sovereign spread like wildfire throughout the universe, and the Guanxuan Report brought much hype to the topic as well. The headlines of the Guanxuan Report said—the most powerful swordsman after the Sword Master!

Ye Guan quickly became a widely acclaimed figure throughout the Guanxuan Universe.

…

A young man was sitting in a noodle shop in a certain city within the Guanxuan Universe. He was wearing a black robe, and his long hair draped over his shoulders as he enjoyed a bowl of noodles.

He looked exhausted, and the dull gleam in his eyes showed the hardships he had endured. The people around him fervently discussed the battle between Ye Guan and the Chosen One. They were particularly excited to mention Ye Guan’s status as a Great Sword Sovereign.

He was so young, but he was already a Great Sword Sovereign! Everyone’s blood would boil upon hearing of such a young Great Sword Sovereign.

However, the highlight of their discussion was still the fact that the opponent of the youngest Great Sword Sovereign in history was the Chosen One. They would have a deathmatch in two months, and the people couldn’t stop talking about it.

The young man suddenly put down his bowl and got up. He looked excited as he walked down the streets. “Teacher, Brother Ye Guan is already a Great Sword Sovereign!”

The young man was none other than Ye Qing.

A mysterious voice echoed in his head. “He’s a monstrous talent. His talent is not at all inferior to the Sword Master.”

Ye Qing took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He said resolutely, “Teacher, I have to work even harder!”

“Why? Do you feel motivated now?”

Ye Qing nodded and replied, “Brother Ye Guan is extremely talented, and I don’t want to be left behind, so I have to work even harder. One day, I want to be strong enough to fight next to him!”

The mysterious voice said, “Go ahead and find the fifth Law. Once you find all nine, you’ll become qualified to cultivate the Eternal Astral Body. At that point, you’ll be strong enough to stand toe-to-toe against him in a fight, even if he’s a Great Sword Sovereign.”

Ye Qing smiled wryly and said, “I would really love to exchange a few moves with Brother Ye Guan by then.”

“You can do it by then,” said the mysterious voice.

Ye Qing nodded and said, “For now, I want to master the spacetime laws.”

The mysterious voice asked, “Why?”

Ye Qing explained in a low voice, “The Chosen One has too many supporters, while Brother Ye Guan only has the Sword Sect behind him. I’m thinking of supporting him once I’ve mastered the spacetime laws.

“It’ll be great if the Chosen One fights Brother Ye Guan fair and square, but if he dares to use dirty tricks like what the An Clan had done… I won’t let it slide!”

With that, Ye Qing’s figure blurred, and he disappeared into the horizon.

Meanwhile, a young man was at the summit of a mountain in Sky Spirit Paradise.

He was holding a copy of the Guanxuan Report.

The young man was none other than Siao Ge. He had departed the Upper Realm for the Guanxuan Universe, and he luckily became a member of the Sky Spirit Paradise.

The Sky Spirit Paradise was second only to Time Paradise among the Nine Great Paradises.

Siao Ge shook his head and laughed. “It is truly shocking that Brother Ye is already a Great Sword Sovereign…”

Siao Ge felt helpless. They were still on par with each other not too long ago, but in the blink of an eye, the gap between them had widened into a massive chasm. Ye Guan had become so powerful that the thought of exchanging moves with Ye Guan alone made him feel hopeless.

After a few moments, however, Siao Ge shook his head and laughed. The hopelessness went away and was replaced with joy. He was genuinely happy for Ye Guan.

Siao Ge soon got up and left. His plan was to cultivate for now until it was time for him to head to the Guanxuan Academy and stand on Ye Guan’s side.

Even if Ye Guan no longer considered him his brother because of the disparity between them, Siao Ge would still treat Ye Guan as his brother.

…

Danzhou.

An old man in the Immortal Treasures Pavilion Danzhou branch abruptly stood up. He was none other than Old Fu. He had been exiled from Qingzhou and was forced to toil here for the Immortal Treasures Pavilion as punishment.

A Guanxuan Report was in his hands, and he skimmed through it once more before muttering excitedly, “Young Lord Ye is awesome… he’s too awesome! It seems that I truly have a good eye for people! Haha…”

Old Fu was no longer depressed. He had gotten punished, but it turned out that he had been right all along. Those capable of catching his eyes had always turned out to be amazing people.

Old Fu suddenly recalled something, which made him curse furiously, “Those bastards aren’t just bastards; they’re a bunch of blind bastards!”

…

Meanwhile, the old Tower Keeper of the Profound Tower flew into the air and boisterously laughed upon finding out that Ye Guan had become a Great Sword Sovereign.

Fuck, yes! I made the right gamble! I knew it! That little bastard was truly not just an ordinary bastard. It hasn’t been that long since he stepped foot on the Guanxuan Universe, but he’s already a Great Sword Sovereign. What an amazing young man!

The Tower Keeper jumped for joy for a long time, and he took out two portraits once he was done. One of the two portraits depicted the Sword Master and Qin Guan, while the other depicted Ye Guan.

He stared at them for quite a while before muttering, “They really look alike! Young Lord Ye really resembles the Sword Master and Pavilion Master Qin. What if he‘s their son?”

…

The entire universe was talking about Ye Guan, and his reputation had long exceeded the Chosen One’s reputation.

However, the talk of the universe was sitting near the entrance of a great hall.

He stared wordlessly at the Path Sword in front of him. You set me up! What am I going to do now? At this point, I have no choice but to become a Great Sword Sovereign in two months! Otherwise, it will be really embarrassing! Ha…

Ye Guan inwardly lampooned. He was truly having a difficult time.

…
