Chapter 1293: Rise, My Swords!

As soon as he heard Third Sister's words, Ye Guan sensed danger. Turning his head, he saw a nearby spacetime rift. A man slowly emerged from it. He was clad in armor all over with a long spear in hand.

Strangely enough, a strip of black cloth covered his eyes.

His armor shimmered in a cold, silvery light. Upon closer inspection, it was made of an unknown material that resembled ice crystals. It was as smooth as a mirror, and it radiated a wavy, silvery glow.

The spear in his hand was entirely jet black, except for the blood-red spearhead.

Ye Guan calmly faced the mysterious newcomer.

Just then, another figure stepped up beside him. He was Eighth Brother.

Ye Guan glanced at him and said, "Eighth Brother."

Eighth Brother studied Ye Guan for a moment before nodding slightly. "He's a Dao Defier from our Heavenly Tomb World, and he goes by the name Xi Ying. He was a formidable figure from the same era as Second Brother."

Ye Guan was taken aback. "He's from the same era as Second Brother?"

Eighth Brother nodded. "Go help Third Sister and the others. I'll handle things here."

Ye Guan hesitated. "Eighth Brother, I can do this."

Eighth Brother turned to him and smiled faintly. "He's far beyond your league. This isn't your fight. There are plenty of other opponents here that are more suitable for you to fight. Go and look for them."

With that, he launched himself toward Xi Ying like an unstoppable tidal wave of steel. His sheer momentum sent a crushing pressure rippling through the battlefield, making everyone feel an overwhelming force bearing down on them.

Xi Ying stepped up and thrust his spear forward.

Boom!

The impact sent Eighth Brother flying nearly a thousand meters away, but Xi Ying remained unmoved.

Ye Guan's expression darkened.

The Dao Followers around Ye Guan heaved a sigh of relief.

Finally, a true powerhouse had arrived on their side.

"

Hahaha!

" Eighth Brother suddenly let out a hearty laugh. "Xi Ying, your strength has improved a lot since back then! Looks like you've been kneeling at Ancestral Dao's feet quite often!"

Xi Ying remained expressionless. Gripping his spear tightly, he moved forward.

Swoosh!

Eighth Brother vanished into thin air.

Swoosh!

A blur tore through spacetime, leaving behind a jagged rift.

Xi Ying thrust his spear forward.

Boom!

Both combatants were forced back.

As soon as Eighth Brother steadied himself, he charged forward again, throwing punch after punch with unrelenting ferocity.

There were no tricks, no flourishes, just raw, unyielding power.

Every blow shook the heavens and the earth.

Seeing that Eighth Brother could hold his own, Ye Guan withdrew to the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb World. Third Sister soon joined him, while Sixth Brother and the others fought the undying Dao Defier Corpses.

Third Sister gazed at the distant battlefield.

Huangu Tian and his forces were gathered there.

"We need to hold them off for a while."

Ye Guan nodded. "Understood."

Third Sister turned to him with a smile. "Are you scared?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No."

Third Sister nodded in approval. "Great."

Meanwhile, Huangu Tian and his army charged forward once more, flying straight toward Ye Guan and Third Sister. Staring at the countless cultivators flying toward them, Ye Guan grinned for some reason.

Third Sister arched a brow. "What's so funny?"

Ye Guan's smile widened. "Fighting alongside you and my brothers... feels great."

Third Sister replied, "You won't think that way in a moment."

"

Hahaha.

" Ye Guan laughed. "Then, I'm going first, Third Sister!"

With that, he stepped forward, and in an instant, his three bloodlines erupted within him, propelling his aura to the skies.

Third Sister smirked. "I knew it. That kid can coexist with that seal..."

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light, cutting through the sky as he made his way toward the army of Dao Followers before him. His eyes burned, not with fear, but with unbridled madness.

Huangu Tian, leading the charge, sneered. "Kill him first."

Without hesitation, he and the elites of the Huangu Clan charged at Ye Guan.

However, Ye Guan had already locked onto Huangu Tian. He wasn't interested in anyone else. As soon as he got close, he slashed out fiercely—Decisive Strike!

His attack was exponentially stronger than his previous ones, and it was all thanks to Order Sword Intent and three bloodlines.

Huangu Tian's expression changed instantly at the sight. He hadn't expected Ye Guan to launch such a terrifying sword technique without warning. Caught off guard, he hesitated for a split second before clenching his fist to unleash a devastating Huangu Imperial Fist.

Boom!

Sword lights and fist lights collided in midair, sending shockwaves throughout the battlefield.

Huangu Tian was sent flying away, tumbling tens of thousands of meters before he finally stopped. When he looked down at his right arm, he saw that it had been obliterated.

His heart pounded in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan, overwhelmed by the sheer number of enemies, was forced to return to the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb World. In a one-on-one fight, he had nothing to fear.

Against a swarm of enemies, however, even he couldn't hold out for long.

Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth. Before he could react, countless auras surged toward him, and their combined power inundated him like a tsunami.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, but just as he was about to make a move, Third Sister suddenly appeared in front of him. She raised a hand, conjuring towering pillars of golden runes that shot into the sky.

The enemy cultivators were obliterated, and their souls shattered into nothingness.

However, the sight only fueled the rage of the remaining cultivators. Roaring in fury, they charged at the entrance of Heavenly Tomb World. Soon, the rune pillars cracked under the relentless assault.

Just as a cultivator was about to break through, a streak of sword light shot forth—Ye Guan had made another move!

He plunged into the midst of the enemies, brandishing the Qingxuan Sword wantonly. Having recovered his full strength, those near him would either perish or suffer severe wounds.

Meanwhile, Third Sister stood firm at the entrance, summoning rune pillars to repel the enemy. Each pillar radiated destructive power, but there were just too many enemies to handle.

Faced with the combined might of over a hundred thousand cultivators, the rune pillars didn't last long. One by one, they shattered until nothing remained.

Third Sister frowned at the sight. Then, she conjured a massive barrier made out of rune lights, sealing off the entrance. She stood in the middle of the barrier, creating intricate seals with her hands.

Runes manifested in midair, reinforcing the barrier.

The enemy forces attacked nonstop.

Third Sister fought back to maintain the defense, but her complexion grew paler with every passing moment. Ye Guan knew that he couldn't let her fight alone. He tightened his grip on the Qingxuan Sword and charged forward.

Before he could reach them, a monstrous creature lunged at him.

It was the colossal Star-Moving Ape.

The sheer force of its charge sent waves of pressure crashing toward Ye Guan. But instead of retreating, Ye Guan unleashed his sword intent and sword energy, pushing back the ape's oppressive aura.

With a determined gaze, Ye Guan charged forward, slashing at the beast with all his might.

Boom!

A radiant sword light, spanning thousands of meters, tore into the ape. The sword light shattered upon impact, but the ape let out an agonized howl before staggering backward.

The attack had torn its flesh, splitting it open. Blood gushed out of it like a fountain. At the same time, the combined attacks of Taixuan You and the other experts inundated Ye Guan.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Everything around Ye Guan was obliterated.

Just as everyone assumed that he was dead, a dazzling sword light erupted.

A faint golden glow radiated from him. At the critical juncture, Master Pagoda had intervened, shielding him from the brunt of the attack.

Master Pagoda was still holding strong.

The faces of the surrounding experts darkened when they saw that Ye Guan was still alive.

After cutting down a Dao Channel Realm expert with a single sword strike, Ye Guan got ready to attack once again, but he noticed something that prompted him to turn his head.

In the distance, Third Sister was under siege by countless enemies. The rune barrier she had conjured was on the verge of collapse, flickering with instability.

Her face had also turned deathly pale.

There were simply too many experts on the Ancestral Dao's side

Ye Guan suddenly called out, "Master Pagoda!"

Little Pagoda hesitated. "You..."

Ye Guan commanded, "Go, now!"

Without another word, Little Pagoda transformed into a golden streak of light that shot forward. In the blink of an eye, he reached Third Sister's side. A massive golden light engulfed the rune pillars, reinforcing them.

With Little Pagoda's help, Third Sister immediately felt at ease.

Meanwhile, Taixuan You and the Taixuan Clan's experts turned toward Ye Guan.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Guan unleashed the power of his Mad Demon Bloodline.

Rumble!

Countless cultivators charged at him at the same time.

Ye Guan roared, "Rise, my swords!"

Boom!

Countless blood-red swords made from the Order Sword Intent shot into the sky to create a colossal blood-red sword.

The charging cultivators were horrified, but there was no turning back—they had no choice but to fight head-on!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosions rocked the heavens and the earth. Streaks of sword light shattered one after another, and agonized screams filled the air.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, all the sword light had dissipated, and Ye Guan was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. Just as he was about to crash into the ground, a rune chain wrapped around him and yanked him to Third Sister's side.

Blood dripped continuously from the corner of Ye Guan's mouth.

He looked utterly miserable.

Just then, an army of over a hundred thousand cultivators charged at them.

Third Sister grabbed Ye Guan's hand.

"Stand behind me!" she exclaimed and pulled him behind her.
