I Have A Sword

Chapter 85: Invincible Master Pagoda!

Ye Guan was at a complete loss for words. Getting tattoos to intimidate people? He’s a genius!

The young man’s voice trembled. “So you’re this strong, Young Lord Ye…”

“I’m just alright,” replied Ye Guan.

After a few moments of hesitation, the young man asked, “Can you let me live?”

“You want me to spare your life?” Ye Guan asked.

The young man nodded vigorously.

“I’ll let you live if you promise to help me with something,” Ye Guan said.

“Pray tell!” said the young man.

Ye Guan stared intently at the young man and said, “I want you to return to Sin City and let people know that I’m heavily injured after repelling Ji Xuan.”

The young man froze, and then he exclaimed in astonishment, “Ah! Are you perhaps trying to trick—”

He abruptly stopped talking.

“You have a problem with that?” Ye Guan threatened.

The young man quickly shook his head and replied, “No!”

“Go ahead, then!” Ye Guan said. Fortunately, the wound wasn’t that deep.

The young man hesitated. “Aren’t you worried that I’d run away rather than fulfilling my promise?”

“You wouldn’t do that.”

“Why?”

“Do you really think that I wouldn’t take revenge on you if you ran away?”

The young man’s expression stiffened. He smiled sheepishly and said, “I will do as you say!”

Then, he turned around to leave.

“Wait!” Ye Guan called out.

The young man instantly got worried. “Young Lord Ye, I swear that I’ll do what you say. I won’t betray you!”

Ye Guan shook his head and said calmly, “I’ll give you ten percent of the gold spiritual crystals that I’ll harvest from those daring enough to try and assassinate me.”

The young man froze and asked, “Are you serious?”

Ye Guan nodded and replied, “I’m a swordsman. I would never lie to anyone.”

Little Pagoda was rendered speechless.

The young man hurriedly said, “Young Lord Ye, don’t worry. Once I get back, I’ll quickly spread the rumor that you want me to spread.”

Ye Guan nodded slightly and said, “Go on, then!”

The young man cupped his fists and said seriously, “Young Lord Ye, I was rash and impudent. Please forgive my transgressions. Let me bow to you.”

The young man gave Ye Guan a deep bow.

Ye Guan asked, “What’s your name?”

“My name is Rao Xiu. The people of Sin Abyss know me as the Tattooed Sword God!”

“Sword God?” Ye Guan asked with a frown.

The young man chuckled sheepishly and said, “I made it up for myself!”

Ye Guan was speechless. This guy’s so full of himself.

Rao Xiu cupped his fists and said, “Young Lord Ye, I’m leaving, then!”

With that, he turned around and ran away.

His figure soon disappeared into the night.

Ji Xuan appeared in front of Ye Guan. She laughed and said, “You did great. You made sure to beat him up with the stick first before tempting him with the carrot. I saw it. That bastard had no choice.”

“I had to give him a carrot. Otherwise, he’d most likely renege on his promise, but it’s a different story if he stood to gain something,” said Ye Guan.

“Is it really because you want to lure more people here? Is that really why you gave him such a task?” asked Ji Xuan.

“No, my target is the mastermind behind the kill order,” Ye Guan replied.

Ji Xuan’s eyes narrowed. “You’re trying to lure the mastermind out?”

Ye Guan nodded. “The mastermind is my primary target. There’s no enmity between me and the other assassins, but if they do come for me, I would have no choice but to reluctantly make a fortune off of their corpses!”

Ji Xuan was stunned at the unique remark.

She soon laughed heartily and said, “Hahaha, Young Lord Ye! I really think that the Guanxuan Academy has suffered a massive loss this time by failing to recruit you as a student.”

“It was also their loss that you left them!” Ye Guan pointed out.

The two paused and smiled at each other.

“Let’s not lick each other’s boots anymore. Let’s talk business—who do you think is the mastermind?”

“They’re definitely either from the An Clan or the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan!”

“Indeed, those two clans are extraordinary, and they’re definitely capable of placing such a kill order on me,” said Ye Guan with a nod.

“You’re still alive after offending those titans, so I’m sure you’re extraordinary as well,” Ji Xuan said.

“I have a powerful Master Pagoda!” Ye Guan told her.

Little Pagoda was at a loss for words.

“Master Pagoda?” Ji Xuan asked.

Ye Guan nodded and explained, “Master Pagoda is very low-profile, and he’s definitely hiding something from me. I’m sure he was an extremely strong powerhouse while he was still active!”

“Hahaha!” Little Pagoda chuckled. “Bastard, flattering me won’t work. I won’t buy it… hahaha.”

Ye Guan sounded serious as he inwardly replied, “Master Pagoda, I wasn’t flattering you. You’re not even afraid of the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan, so you must have been an unrivaled expert while you were still active.”

“Yeah, I guess…” Little Pagoda muttered with a smile. After a few moments of silence, he said, “Anyway, you still need to work even harder. Your enemies are too strong! Do you understand?”

“I do!” Ye Guan replied.

After a few moments of hesitation, Little Pagoda added, “I’ll help you improve your sword intent later, and I’ll give you a new cultivation method as well. The world inside of me has recovered considerably.”

Ye Guan hurriedly nodded. “All right! I’ll listen to everything you say, Master Pagoda!”

Meanwhile, Little Pagoda suddenly got a bit emotional. “I’ve been with the Yang Family for three generations now. While I was with my first master, I was scared and worried every day. Whenever we weren’t killing people, we were on our way to kill people. Old Master’s tendencies are violent, so I was always on edge.

“As for my second master, he was always just playing around. It was hilarious but borderline absurd to see him mess with people.”

Little Pagoda took a moment to compose himself before saying, “It seems that my third master from the Yang Family is a normal person! I guess hard work and patience will eventually pay off!”

The mysterious voice chimed in, “He was just kissing your ass!”

Little Pagoda laughed heartily and said, “I know, so what? I’d like him to kiss my ass more!”

The mysterious voice went silent. It was not going to retort this time!

Meanwhile, Ji Xuan was about to say something, but they were interrupted by roughly a hundred auras flying toward them.

Ye Guan froze at the sight. Why are there so many of them?

Ji Xuan was stunned as well.

Ye Guan saw a familiar young man at the helm.

The young man was none other than Rao Xiu. He charged forward and roared, “Ye Guan is just up ahead! Everyone, don’t be scared. His legs are broken, and he’s severely injured! Kill!”

Rao Xiu was shouting at the top of his lungs, but he was discreetly slowing down.

Ye Guan’s face darkened upon hearing what Rao Xiu said. You really are a genius!

Ji Xuan made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan said, “Hide. Keep an eye out for me. I’m afraid that we’ll get ambushed while we’re busy with these guys.”

Ji Xuan nodded slightly and said, “Be careful.”

Her figure trembled slightly before disappearing into the darkness.

Ye Guan calmly stared at the people rushing toward him, and they were shocked to find Ye Guan waiting for them.

I thought his legs were broken? Why does he look unscathed? Oh no, we’ve been tricked!

Unfortunately, the arrows had already left their bowstrings. They could no longer turn back.

The man at the helm shouted, “Kill Ye Guan, and the thirty million gold spiritual crystals will be ours. Kill!”

The cultivators charged at Ye Guan.

Damn it, we’re already here! It seems that your legs aren’t broken yet, so we’re going to break them for you!

Meanwhile, Rao Xiu had already retreated.

Ye Guan swept his gaze across the charging cultivators before closing his eyes.

These cultivators were at least in the same realm as him, and they were as ruthless—no, perhaps even more ruthless than him.

Did that mean he was afraid? Of course, not! He wasn’t afraid at all.

Ye Guan’s eyes shot wide open, and a sword made out of energy flew toward the man at the helm of the group and pierced his forehead.

Thud!

A dull thud echoed as he crumpled to the ground.

Ye Guan took the dull thud as his signal to make a move. He reappeared like a ghost in front of another cultivator, and his figure flashed once more.

Thud!

There was another dull thud as someone else collapsed to the ground.

Ye Guan reappeared in front of another man, and the latter immediately collapsed after his brain was obliterated by Ye Guan’s sword thrust.

Thud!

Ye Guan vanished and reappeared thirty meters away.

Thud!

The cultivators collapsed one after another as Ye Guan’s quick but destructive sword thrusts obliterated their brains.

Ye Guan killed at least ten people in just a few seconds, and most of the cultivators in the group couldn’t even see his shadow.

He was too fast for them to track!

Ji Xuan stood on a tree branch and watched the unfolding massacre.

“This bastard is too quick…” Ji Xuan suddenly recalled something, and she blushed profusely as she said, “I’ve read from some books that men who are too quick are bad people!”
