I Have A Sword

Chapter 181: Annihilate the Martial Department

Ye Guan put his sword away and said, “Senior, I will take my leave now.”

Seng Wu pushed aside his thoughts and asked, “Are you returning to the Sword Sect?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes.”

“All right,” said Seng Wu with a smile.

Ye Guan bowed slightly. “Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Farewell.”

Seng Wu nodded. “All right.”

Ye Guan turned around and flew into the horizon on his sword.

Seng Wu wordlessly stared at the bright light on the horizon. After a while, he smiled and muttered, “I’m sure you guys will be pleased to see this lad.” He turned to look in another direction and said, “The Guanxuan Universe’s successor is here.”

…

Ye Guan went to look for Chen Guanzi upon arriving at the Sword Sect.

In a hall, Chen Guanzi looked at Ye Guan, “You need swords?”

Ye Guan nodded. “Yes, and I need eight of them.”

Chen Guanzi nodded and said, “Follow me.”

He hopped onto his sword and disappeared into the horizon.

Ye Guan hurriedly chased after him.

The two soon found themselves in the depths of the Sword Tomb. A boulder was in front of them, and there was a sword case on the boulder.

The sword case was pitch-black in color, and there wasn’t a single character emblazoned on it.

Chen Guanzi gestured, and the sword case hovered in front of him.

He tapped the case, and twelve swords took off to pierce the clouds. The twelve swords soon spun in a circle above them.

Chen Guanzi gestured once more, and the twelve swords returned.

The twelve swords appeared in front of Ye Guan. The swords had a width of about two fingers next to each other, and they were about three feet long. The swords were clearly made to be used as throwables, as they didn’t have a hilt.

Chen Guanzi turned to look at Ye Guan and explained, “This is Senior Murong’s sword case. Its name is Zhuxie[1]. The swords floating in front of you are called Zhuxie Flying Blades, and they are all Divine-rank items.

”Senior Murong died thirty years ago on the Xuzhen Battlefield. His sword case has been dormant here for the past thirty years. From now on, Senior Murong’s swords shall follow you.”

Ye Guan hurriedly said, “All right.”

He reached out for the sword case.

Buzz!

The sword case vibrated violently, and a horrifying sword intent surged out from it.

Ye Guan’s hand bounced off of the sword case.

Ye Guan was shocked. He looked at Chen Guanzi and asked, “Senior? What was that?”

Chen Guanzi responded, “People who can choose their swords, but swords can choose their wielders as well. You have to convince them.”

“Ah, that makes sense.” Ye Guan smiled. He looked at the sword case and stepped forward before flicking his finger toward the sword case.

Boom!

The sword case trembled, and a loud vibration shook the air.

Twelve blades flew toward Ye Guan, and Ye Guan didn’t dare to be negligent against the twelve blades. He took a stance, and the swords haphazardly slashed at him.

Clang, clang, clang!

The twelve blades were sent flying away.

Ye Guan waved his sleeve, and twelve swords made out of sword energy manifested and flew toward the twelve blades.

Clang!

The twelve Zhuxie Flying Blades were quickly suppressed. After all, Ye Guan had created his twelve swords with both his sword intent and sword force as well as his sword energy.

The twelve Zhuxie Flying Blades were indignant, and they continued resisting.

Ye Guan stared at the twelve Zhuxie Flying Blades with a smile.

“If you are that unwilling, I will not force you to come with me,” he said. He then waved his sleeve, and his twelve swords melted into innumerable light particles before disappearing. Ye Guan turned around and left.

The twelve blades froze. The heck? Why are you leaving?

The Zhuxie sword case quivered, and the twelve blades cut Ye Guan off. They vibrated slightly as if they were trying to say something to him.

Ye Guan smiled and asked, “Are you all willing to follow me?”

The twelve blades vibrated at the same time.

Ye Guan laughed. He grabbed the Zhuxie sword case with his right hand, and it turned into a ray of black light before entering his glabella.

Boom!

The image of a sword case appeared in Ye Guan’s sea of consciousness.

The Zhuxie sword case and the Zhuxie Flying Blades fused into his divine sense.

Now, he could mobilize the twelve blades with just a thought.

Ye Guan looked up and mobilized them.

Buzz!

A buzzing noise pervaded the air as the twelve blades manifested. The twelve blades shot into the sky and pierced the clouds.

Ye Guan stared at the twelve Zhuxie Flying Blades and sent them slicing away at the clouds with just his thoughts. The twelve blades danced around each other, forming an intricate pattern. Moments later, a drawing with hundreds of lines was carved on the clouds, creating a picturesque sight.

Ye Guan was thrilled. Each of these blades was a Divine-rank item!

He had to admit that swords made out of sword energy could only hope to match the twelve blades’ might. Ye Guan stared deeply at the twelve blades and sighed. It was still better to be in an organization.

He had nothing as a lone wolf, but now that he was with an organization, he suddenly had access to a lot of money and a ton of resources.

Chen Guanxi suddenly said, “There’s still one more month.”

Ye Guan looked at Chen Guanzi.

Chen Guanzi stared at him and asked, “What else do you need? Let me know, and I’ll give it to you if we have it here.”

“I’ll let you know, thanks,” said Ye Guan with a nod.

Chen Guanzi went silent and turned around to leave.

Ye Guan didn’t leave but closed his eyes. One month…seems like a long time, but it’s not.

Swoosh!

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan.

Ye Guan opened his eyes and found Cao Bai standing in front of him.

Cao Bai stared at him and said, “Something happened, and it’s related to you.”

Ye Guan pushed aside his thoughts and asked curiously, “What happened?”

Cao Bai asked solemnly, “Do you still remember Lin Qian?”

Lin Qian. Ye Guan’s brows furrowed. It was a familiar name.

Cao Bai looked at Ye Guan. “Lin Qian from the Shangxiao Clan.”

Ye Guan’s eyes widened in realization. “Oh, yeah, I remember him!”

Lin Qian was an accomplice to Ye Guan and Ye Qing’s murder of Liu Bing’s younger brother in the Profound World. I actually forgot about him.

Cao Bai nodded and explained, “He’s in a miserable state.”

Ye Guan frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”

Cao Bai said solemnly, “Shangxiao Clan wants to take the Chosen One’s side, but Lin Qian objected to it publicly. He said that he’s your friend, and he’ll stand by your side even if in the afterlife. The Shangxiao Clan decided to expel him from the clan before forcing him out of the clan.

”He’s a student of the Guanxuan Academy, but he’s struggling because he’s bullied by the members of the aristocratic family factions and the great clan factions. He is struggling right now. He’s really in a miserable state right now.”

Ye Guan was silent. That bastard actually went that far…

Cao Bai looked at Ye Guan. “You have to deal with this for the sake of your reputation.”

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled before asking, “Where is he?”

Cao Bai said, “He’s at the Martial Department’s territory.”

“I’ll go there, then,” said Ye Guan.

Cao Bai said, “I’ll go with you.”

Ye Guan nodded. “All right.”

The two hopped onto their swords and disappeared into the horizon.

Meanwhile, Lin Qian went to class as always in one of the Martial Department’s classrooms. However, a few students stopped him on his way to the classroom.

Lin Qian glanced at them before turning to look at a man in white, who seemed to be the leader of the group

“Why are you here, Li Chuan? Are you here to fight me?” asked Lin Qian.

Li Chuan smiled and said, “Lin Qian, I truly admire you. You’re a true man, I give you that. However, I really am curious. Is Ye Guan really worth risking your life for?”

Lin Qian was silent.

Li Chuan continued. “Lin Qian, we’re cut from the same cloth; we should stand together.”

Lin Qian quietly stared at Li Chuan.

Li Chuan’s smile deepened as he explained, “We’re at the bottom of our society, and it is extremely difficult for us to change our fate. However, a huge opportunity has appeared right in front of us—an opportunity to change our destiny.

“We just have to stand on Senior Lu Tian’s side, and that’s it. We’ll be able to change not just our own future but the future of our clan and families.”

Lin Qian suddenly asked, “What if my Brother Ye wins?”

Li Chuan snorted, “Do you really think that’s possible?”

Lin Qian calmly pointed out. “Have you already forgotten that Brother Ye has already defeated Lu Tian back on the Zhongtu Divine Continent?”

The smile on Li Chuan’s lips vanished. His expression was dark as he said, “It’s all because Senior Lu Tian didn’t go all out back then. And what’s the big deal of losing once?”

“Brother Ye won the fight back then, so what makes you think that he can’t do it again?” asked Lin Qian.

Li Chuan glared at Lin Qian and pointed out. “Senior Lu is the Chosen One!”

“If he’s the Chosen One, how come he lost to Brother Ye?” asked Lin Qian.

Li Chuan was annoyed. “Do you want a fight?”

“We’re just having a conversation. I’m not here to start a fight,” said Lin Qian with a smile before asking, “Anyway, don’t you think that this is a joke?”

Lin Qian shook his head and explained, “I don’t even dare to say that Brother Ye will definitely defeat Lu Tian, so how come you people are so confident that he’ll lose? Is it because Lu Tian is the Chosen One? Is that it?

“It is impressive to be crowned as the Chosen One, but just because the previous Chosen One—the Sword Master—was invincible doesn’t mean that Lu Tian is invincible by virtue of his status as the Chosen One.”

Li Chuan glared menacingly at Li Qian. “You really are stubborn. I’ll ask you, then. Has there anyone out there who has succeeded in life without a backer? Lu Tian has the support of the Milky Way Clan, the Future Clan, and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

“Many clans and aristocratic families are backing him as well. What about Ye Guan? The Sword Sect? The Lingxu Blessed Land? Time Paradise? The Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan? I don’t think that they can compare to the Immortal Treasures Pavilion alone, even if they were combined.”

Lin Qian smiled, unfazed. “Let me ask you, then. What’s going to happen if Brother Ye wins the upcoming battle between them?”

Li Chuan sneered, “Do you really think that’s possible?”

“What if?”

Li Chuan waved his sleeve and snorted, “It’s impossible. The Chosen One is invincible.”

Lin Qian glared at Li Chuan and exclaimed, “He has already lost to Brother Ye!”

“So what?” Li Chuan stared with narrowed eyes at Lin Qian. “Does losing once even matter in the grand scheme of things? The future is more important than the present when it comes to the journey to the summit.”

Lin Qian glared at Li Chuan for a moment before muttering under his breath. “When dogs meet, they either sniff or lick each other. Dogs are one thing, but people who imitate dogs by licking others are just disgusting.”

“Say that again!” Li Chuan roared. He glared at Lin Qian and said, “Lin Qian, just because I’ve decided to treat you with some respect doesn’t mean that you should forget your place. I guess it’s no wonder that the Shangxiao Clan decided to kick you out; a short-sighted dumbass like you has no place in the Shangxiao Clan.

”Enjoy starving to death with no one backing you, you dumbass!”

Lin Qian calmly retorted, “I’d rather starve to death rather than kiss and lick someone else’s ass. I never said that Brother Ye will definitely defeat the Chosen One, but even if he loses, I’ll still stand next to him!”

Li Chuan jeered, “The Shangxiao Clan has kicked you out and disowned you, and what did he do for you, huh?”

Lin Qian smiled and said, “How about the Chosen One? You’ve kissed and licked his ass for the longest time, but what has he done for you? I really don’t understand. A human should have self-respect; why did you choose to lick someone else’s ass?”

Li Chuan glared at Lin Qian and roared, “Shut his mouth for me!”

The students of the Martial Department rushed toward Lin Qian.

“Touch him, and you will die!” The students came to a screeching halt and looked up. The voice had come from the skies. “I’ll annihilate the Martial Department as well!”
