I Have A Sword

The Great Daoist Brush Master's face turned ashen.

Even when facing the Yang Family, he had never been humiliated like this.

Damn it! My strength is sealed, which is why I'm being bullied like this!

In the distance, Ye Guan took a deep breath. He knew he had reached his absolute limits.

From the beginning until now, every sword strike he unleashed was beyond the limits of his fleshly body and soul. Now, his fleshly body had collapsed under the strain, and his soul was on the verge of shattering.

If he were to attack once again, without the Qingxuan Sword to suppress the backlash, his soul would definitely break apart.

Ye Guan looked at the sky. Countless streams of spiritual energy were gathering up above him. There was an ocean of spiritual energy overhead, and more streams of spiritual energy were converging.

After a moment of silence, he turned to the Great Daoist Brush Master and asked, "Do you have any more trump cards?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at him but said nothing. Seeing that, Ye Guan knew that he definitely still had something up his sleeve.

Ye Guan said, "Actually... I have one, too."

They both looked at each other silently, but none of them made a move. They allowed the mysterious figure to plunder the spiritual energy in this world.

Ye Guan didn't make a move because he truly couldn't do anything, while the Great Daoist Brush Master was simply wary of Ye Guan. Deep down, he still considered Ye Guan to be the real enemy.

Seeing that Ye Guan and the Great Daoist Brush Master had both stopped attacking, the mysterious figure suddenly laughed aloud. "I once heard that you, the Great Daoist Brush Master, were the greatest genius in the world.

"I heard that you've mastered all Dao techniques and are even capable of creating a Dao beyond the Dao itself. Now that I've met you in person, I realized that you're nothing but a fraud. How... disappointing."

The Great Daoist Brush Master stared at the mysterious figure, saying nothing.

The mysterious figure ignored the gaze and added, "But I suppose it makes sense. Most people in this world are nothing more than fakes who seek attention and fame. You may leave."

You may leave?Ye Guan was stunned when he heard that.What the hell? What kind of nonsense is this guy spouting? He's letting the Great Daoist Brush Master go?

Even the Great Daoist Brush Master himself froze for a moment, but he did not dwell on it. He turned to leave without hesitation. After taking a few steps, the mysterious figure's voice rang out again.

"Do you know why I'm not killing you?"

The Great Daoist Brush Master didn't stop and was about to vanish when the mysterious figure coldly said, "Because you're not worthy."

The Great Daoist Brush Master stopped in his tracks.

Seeing him halt, the mysterious figure smiled. "Indeed, you're not worthy."

The Great Daoist Brush Master turned to face him again and smiled.

"It seems I've given you too much face."

BOOM!

The Great Daoist Brush Master's fleshly body erupted into blazing flames.A terrifying aura erupted and surged violently across the heavens.

He had ignited his Dao and Laws!

Ye Guan's eyelid twitched. That bastard was going all out.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's Dao and Laws didn't belong to this world. Once he ignited them, this universe's Dao and Laws couldn't withstand his might. Instantly, the very order of this world began to shatter.

Throughout the heavens and the earth, mysterious Dao flames surged like a tide toward the mysterious figure.

The smile on the mysterious figure's face froze.

The Great Daoist Brush Master roared, "You filthy wretch. Go to hell!"

He transformed into a pillar of blazing flames and shot into the sky, aiming straight for the mysterious figure. He was truly fighting with everything he had.

He had originally saved his final trump card to guard against Ye Guan, as he knew that compared to the mysterious figure, Ye Guan was more fearsome. Who knew what kind of hidden cards that little traitor still had?

However, he couldn't worry about that anymore. He had to vent this rage, or he'd never sleep peacefully for the rest of his life! That bastard had humiliated him way too much!

Seeing the Great Daoist Brush Master launch his attack, Ye Guan did not hesitate and sprawled out. He had to heal as quickly as possible.

He had the Divine Lotus within him, and as long as he calmed down and focused on healing, he could restore at least a portion of his strength.

Just then, Tian Lian hurried over, pulled out two glowing Divine Lotuses, and placed them on Ye Guan's chest. These were the last two Divine Lotuses of the Celestial Clan.

In truth, they were hers. As the heiress of the Celestial Clan, she had a rightful claim to them. Even though she was seriously injured, she hadn't dared use them on herself.

As soon as those two lotuses entered Ye Guan, his shattered soul immediately began to rapidly regenerate.

When the mysterious figure saw the Great Daoist Brush Master barreling towards him, he immediately sensed the latter's terrifying power and dared not underestimate him. He opened his palm, and the blood seal transformed into a bolt of blood lightning that shot toward the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rang out across the heavens and earth. Countless flames and waves of blood-red light erupted simultaneously, one after another, like roaring tidal waves sweeping over everything.

The Great Daoist Brush Master and the mysterious figure were both blasted backwards at once.

Shockwaves of terrifying force radiated outwards in every direction. T

ian Lian immediately stepped in front of Ye Guan, using her last remaining strength to activate the Eternal Divine Lamp to shield him from the impact.

Before long, Tian Yan and the others also rushed over and formed a protective circle around Ye Guan.

In the sky, the mysterious figure finally stopped, the expression on his face somewhat grim.

His soul had become faint and translucent. He was clearly injured.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's earlier attack was a serious blow. And more than that, the attack contained a Dao and Laws foreign to this world that were suppressing him at this moment.

The mysterious figure looked up at the Great Daoist Brush Master and sneered, "I underestimated you a little, but that's all you amount to."

Far off, the Great Daoist Brush Master heard this and nearly coughed up blood from rage. He immediately cursed, "Fuck you!"

Without a second thought for his severely wounded fleshly body, he charged at the mysterious figure once again. As he did, a pillar of flame roared like thunder across the battlefield.

The mysterious figure narrowed his eyes, a flicker of killing intent flashing within them. He stepped forward with a blood seal in his hand and swung his fist toward the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Boom!

When they collided, the heavens and earth seemed to shatter. Waves of fire and blood light exploded outward, and the overwhelming force sent both of them flying in opposite directions.

However, before the Great Daoist Brush Master halted, he charged in again like a madman. He was truly fighting with everything he had.

Ye Guan's eyelids twitched as he watched the scene unfold. If the Great Daoist Brush Master had chosen to attack him like that earlier, he couldn't have survived against him.

That guy had been hiding his true strength all along.

Ye Guan understood that the Great Daoist Brush Master hadn't gone all out against him, not out of kindness, but because he feared that Ye Guan had some hidden trump card.

From the very beginning, the Great Daoist Brush Master had also been cautious of people from the Empire, like Ji Zhan, so he always kept a final trump card in reserve, never truly risking everything.

However, the mysterious figure had truly infuriated him.

Had this taken place somewhere private, the Great Daoist Brush Master would have swallowed his pride and endured it. In front of Ye Guan? There was no way in hell he would take it lying down.

After all, what was a man's life if not lived for pride?

Ye Guan retracted his thoughts and closed his eyes again. He had to focus on recovering. Once his injuries healed, he would first kill the mysterious figure, then he'd kill the Great Daoist Brush Master.

In the distance, the Great Daoist Brush Master, like a blazing fireball, relentlessly hurled himself at the mysterious figure. Though the mysterious figure still held the advantage in strength, the Great Daoist Brush Master was fighting as if he had nothing to lose. After a series of brutal exchanges, both sides were now heavily wounded.

Around them, the empire's remaining elites and powerhouses from the Zhou Clan stood frozen in uncertainty.

Ji Zhan was dead. With their pillar of command gone, they had no idea what to do. Both leaving and staying felt wrong, and they were still clinging to one faint hope—the Great Daoist Brush Master.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Clan's fighters had not expected the situation to escalate to such a point. But for them, only one thing mattered now, and it was Ye Guan.

As long as Ye Guan was alive, all was well. Every member of the Celestial Clan surrounded him to protect him.

Anyone who wanted to kill him would have to step over their corpses first.

High above in the sky, the Great Daoist Brush Master was still forcing the mysterious figure to eat his knuckle sandwiches. The terrifying power erupting from the two of them was like a volcanic explosion, so intense that even cultivators at the Transcendent Realm dared not approach them.

Before long, the Great Daoist Brush Master finally came to a stop. He simply could not keep attacking the mysterious figure any longer.

At this point, his soul was so faint that it resembled a wisp of smoke. Only the Dao seal between his brows was barely holding his soul together. Without it, he would have already been annihilated.

In the distance, the mysterious figure's soul was also flickering and unstable, his aura chaotic. He was clearly heavily injured as well. It was a battle of mutual destruction.

Every gaze in the place turned towards the mysterious figure, none of them hiding the murderous intent in their eyes.

Sensing their hostility, the mysterious figure let out a cold sneer. He glanced at the Great Daoist Brush Master and mocked, "I'll spare your life today."

Then, he raised the blood seal high, and with it, he carried the boundless sea of spiritual energy and shot toward the sky.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's expression changed drastically. He quickly turned to look at Ye Guan in the distance and shouted, "Stop him! He's going to unseal his true body!"

Ye Guan's heart jolted in alarm. He immediately rose from the ground, no longer bothering to continue healing. He was just about to give chase when a thought struck him. He paused and looked at the Great Daoist Brush Master.

The Great Daoist Brush Master's expression froze briefly. "What? You think I've run out of trump cards?"

Ye Guan stared at him for a moment. "Let's chase him together."

He had indeed been tempted to finish off the Great Daoist Brush Master first, but he held back for now.

Just in case the Great Daoist Brush Master still had a hidden trump card, it would be incredibly foolish for Ye Guan to clash with him now.

The Great Daoist Brush Master didn't say anything and merely nodded. Although both of them wished the other dead, they were well aware that the mysterious figure had to die first.

Ye Guan turned to Tian Yan and said, "Stay here. Don't follow us."

With that, he and the Great Daoist Brush Master shot into the sky, disappearing far beyond the horizon.

The mysterious figure was simply too powerful. It would be pointless for the members of the Celestial Clan to follow, especially when the Empire and the experts from the Zhou Clan were still present...

In the skies, Ye Guan glanced sideways at the Great Daoist Brush Master but said nothing.

The Great Daoist Brush Master calmly replied, "If you really think I've got no trump cards left, then take your shot. Stop staring at me."

Ye Guan said, "I'm not the kind of person you think I am."

"Oh fuck off, will you?" the Great Daoist Brush Master growled.
