Chapter 595: Family tree
Ye Guan observed the incoming auras with a calm demeanor. The members of the Wang Clan had definitely arrived.
From what Mu Yuan had told him earlier, the gods' children, much like their parents, also had their own feelings, ambitions, and relationships. Their children came to be known as the Descendants of the Gods.
These divine descendants possessed innate advantages in cultivation. Their bodies and bloodlines far surpassed those of ordinary mortals. For that reason, the descendants of the five major gods were regarded as exceedingly special in the Old Era.
Ye Guan's mind wandered for a moment. Afterward, he turned to Ye An. "Big Sis, do we have a family tree?"
Puzzled, Ye An replied, "Why?"
"I want to acquaint myself with everyone in the family."
A swift slap landed on Ye Guan's shoulder from Ye An. Firmly, she said, "You have to stand on your own. Got that?"
Ye Guan fell silent.
Six imposing figures soon appeared near the two. Leading them was a middle-aged man clad in a loose cloud robe. His right hand was curled around a wine gourd hanging at his waist.
Their leader was a Heavenly Sovereign while the others were Imperial Sovereigns.
The middle-aged man chuckled as he glanced at Ye An and Ye Guan. "I expected the challengers of my Wang Clan to be fearsome warriors, not just two youngsters. I'm curious, did you dare challenge us out of youthful fearlessness or do you have some backup?"
"Does it matter?" Ye Guan calmly asked.
The middle-aged man chuckled. "Not really. The moment you challenged us, you became sworn enemies of the Wang Clan. However, like I said, I am curious. If you simply lost control due to youthful fearlessness, then I can somewhat understand this situation. However, if it's because you have some backing, then I have to ask, who's giving you this much confidence?"
Ye Guan looked the middle-aged man in the eye. "Why waste time with words? Let’s fight already. Do you prefer single combat or an all-out brawl?"
The middle-aged man laughed heartily. "Quite audacious! Very well, let's settle this between us two. I want to see just how remarkable the younger generation truly is."
He took a sudden step forward, unleashing a torrent of powerful forces toward Ye Guan.
In the face of overwhelming force—with the might of a Heavenly Sovereign—Ye Guan remained unfazed. Stepping forward as well, he lightly flicked his thumb, causing his sword to unsheathe and swiftly intercept the incoming torrent.
Shwing!
The torrent was destroyed. However, at the same time, a mighty fist crashed directly onto the sword.
With a resounding impact, the sword made of Sword Intent quivered violently. Simultaneously, the starry sky began to boil like a seething cauldron, emanating sheer terror.
The punch stopped Ye Guan's Sword Intent, preventing it from budging even an inch. Grinning, the middle-aged man retracted his right hand and threw another punch.
Bam!
Another resounding impact echoed as the Sword Intent was sent flying. However, in that instant, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished. Suddenly, a sword fell onto the middle-aged man's fist, sending the middle-aged man hurtling hundreds of meters away.
As he came to a stop, a hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes. "Your Sword Intent..."
Ye Guan could not be bothered with words, however. With his sword in hand, he charged once more.
His sword movements were as swift as lightning.
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of gravity in his gaze. The past two strikes from Ye Guan made him realize that his prowess was on par with a Heavenly Sovereign.
He had no room for complacency.
Hence, the middle-aged man lightly rotated his right fist. The next moment, he threw another punch.
This time, the roar of a demonic beast accompanied it.
Boom!
The sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was sent flying thousands of meters away.
Ye Guan frowned as he regained his footing. He noticed an illusory demonic beast that resembled a bull behind the middle-aged man. The formidable beast had arms as thick as pillars, veins pulsating with blood-red hues, and horns akin to curved blades. The sight of it would have sent shivers down anyone's spine.
Ye Guan's frown deepened. Many of the Old Era's inhabitants seemed to prefer fusing with demonic beasts.
The middle-aged man charged forward, becoming as unstoppable as a raging bull. Wherever he went, spacetime collapsed and disintegrated.
Reacting swiftly, Ye Guan drew his sword. A brilliant burst of sword light followed.
Clang!
However, the sword light shattered upon hitting the man. Ye Guan was once again forced to widen the distance. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man continued his onslaught, launching punch after punch toward him.
Boom!
Around him, spacetime disintegrated.
Ye Guan took a step forward as he thrust his sword forward. The strike was pure, void of sword enhancement techniques.
Kaboom!
However, just like before, the sword light was destroyed again, and Ye Guan was sent hurtling back.
The middle-aged man leaped forward and relentlessly threw punches. Empowered by the demonic beast, his attacks carried terrifying force.
Despite being completely suppressed, Ye Guan remained composed. He delivered simple sword strikes that weren't imbued with his bloodline power or sword techniques. Although he could not match the middle-aged man's might, Ye Guan was calm, gradually acclimatizing himself to his opponent's strength.
Meanwhile, his Invincible Sword Intent was steadily growing stronger.
Bam!
After pushing Ye Guan back again, the middle-aged man stopped pursuing him. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Ye Guan. "Are you underestimating me?"
He could sense that the young swordsman hadn't exerted his full strength yet and that he was being used as a practice target. It was humiliating!
From a distance, Ye Guan calmly glanced at him. "Yes, I am."
"Arrogant!” the middle-aged man roared.
Shooting into the air, the illusory demonic beast above him surged to towering heights. He threw a furious punch downward at Ye Guan, and the demonic beast behind him copied his movements.
Boom!
The entire starry sky seemed to shatter and implode as the punch descended on Ye Guan like an apocalypse.
Suffocated by the overwhelming pressure, Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. At the same time, countless waves of Invincible Sword Intent gathered inside him.
Right after, his eyes snapped open. He unrolled his fist and sent a Sword Intent—amassed from countless swords—to the sky.
The Sword Intent destroyed the attack of the middle-aged man and cleaved through the beast's fist like a knife cutting through butter. The collision resulted in a deafening explosion.
Boom!
The ear-splitting explosion was followed by a cry of agony.
The faces of the nearby Wang Clan members darkened, immediately realizing that it had come from the demonic beast.
As the sword light and fist aura dissipated, the middle-aged man, along with the demonic beast, was pushed back thousands of meters. The beast now looked feeble, devoid of its former menace.
Disbelief filled the middle-aged man's eyes as he looked at Ye Guan. "How is this possible..."
Before he could finish speaking, a streak of sword light shot toward him.
The middle-aged man's pupils contracted as he hastily crossed his arms.
Bang!
The sword that struck down sent him flying. Right after, another sword strike came after him.
Bang!
The middle-aged man defended himself again, pushing him back once more.
Ye Guan unleashed a dozen strikes in quick succession, each forcing his opponent to retreat hundreds of meters.
With the middle-aged man unable to do anything but defend, the tides of the battle had been completely turned around.
The scene made the Wang Clan members exchange glances. They each activated their profound energy, ready to intervene at any moment.
However, Ye An just calmly glanced at them.
Boom!
Just then, the demonic beast above the middle-aged man shattered, and he was blasted away. In that instant, his body began to crack. Without his demonic beast, he would have been torn to pieces long ago.
Just as Ye Guan was about to deliver the final blow, the Wang Clan members in the distance suddenly disappeared and headed straight toward him.
Single combat? When one could win, then they could demand single combat. However, if they couldn't, it was only natural to resort to an all-out brawl.
The moment the Wang Clan members rushed ahead, Ye An, who had been silently watching, suddenly disappeared as well. Then, in an instant, a long spear swept toward them.
With a single thrust, it bore an unstoppable force.
Sensing the terror within Ye An's attack, the five Wang Clan members' expressions shifted. Daring not to underestimate her, they turned to block her spear.
“Ah!”
A cry of agony pierced the air.
After fending off the attack, the five Wang Clan members turned around just in time to witness a sword piercing into the middle-aged man's forehead.
Their faces turned pale. They had been defeated.
Before Ye Guan, the middle-aged man stood, immobilized by the sword's intent. He couldn't even move a muscle. The demonic beast had been completely suppressed as well.
He attempted to speak, but before he could, Ye Guan's sword swung true.
His head flew into the sky, and blood gushed out in a crimson arc.
After killing the middle-aged man, Ye Guan turned to the remaining Wang Clan members, who were gaping in shock.
Realizing that they had clearly underestimated him, the five attempted to retreat. At the same time, Ye Guan and Ye An vanished into thin air.
Moments later, five more lifeless bodies littered the battlefield.
Almost simultaneously, in a distant world, six divine tablets shattered in the Wang Clan’s ancestral shrine.
“Huh?”
A voice echoed within the Wang Clan halls, tinged with both doubt and fury.
