Chapter 134: I Have No Backer

Tell her to come out now!

Everyone’s eyes were unwittingly transfixed on Ye Guan. The onlookers were aware that Ye Guan had a backer and Dao Protector wearing a blood-red skirt. They wondered if she would appear once more.

And even if she appeared, could she stand toe-to-toe against An Wujun?

No, it wouldn’t be just against An Wujun. Going against An Wujun was the same as going against the Guanxuan Academy. Who was daring enough to go against the Guanxuan Academy throughout the Guanxuan Universe?

A Great Sword Sovereign? Even a hundred Great Sword Sovereigns wouldn’t be enough to defeat the Guanxuan Academy.

The onlookers shook their heads and sighed to themselves.

It seems that no one can save this young swordsman anymore.

Ye Guan wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips and vanished.

Instant Death Strike!

He immediately made his move without spouting any nonsense.

An Wujun narrowed his eyes. He waved his sleeve, and the space around Ye Guan surged toward him like a deluge.

Slice!

Ye Guan’s sword sliced the space apart, but he couldn’t fully withstand the impact.

He was sent flying away, but his sword was no longer in his hand.

Royal Sword Art!

An Wujun’s eyes turned cold upon seeing the Path Sword flying toward him. He opened his palm and pushed it gently. It was just a gentle push, but the space in front of him condensed into many layers, forming a terrifying space barrier.

Shwik!

However, the Path Sword easily pierced the space barrier as if it were a sharp knife slicing tofu. There was virtually no resistance as it flew toward An Wujun.

An Wujun’s eyes glinted in fear and shock. He decisively abandoned any thought of forcefully stopping the sword dead in its tracks. His figure flashed, and he retreated three hundred meters away.

The Path Sword struck nothing but air.

Ye Guan reappeared next to the Path Sword. He gripped it tightly before stomping powerfully with his right foot.

Boom!

The space beneath his foot was shattered as he turned into a ray of sword light that flew toward An Wujun at breakneck speeds.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared right before An Wujun.

An Wujun’s eyes became filled with killing intent.

He opened his right hand and lifted it.

Rumble!

A ferocious tidal wave of space loomed over Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed.

The Path Sword could withstand the terrifying attack, but he couldn’t do the same.

The cogs in Ye Guan’s brain moved quickly as he decisively let go of the Path Sword and used the Royal Sword Art. The Path Sword punched a hole in the tidal wave of space and headed straight for An Wujun.

An Wujun retreated hundreds of meters away.

Ye Guan wanted to rush toward An Wujun, but a rift in space opened next to him, and then out came an illusory fist.

Ye Guan’s face changed slightly.

A sword made out of sword energy instantly appeared in his hand, and he slashed out.

Boom!

The illusory fist was shattered, but the resulting explosion bolstered with a terrifying amount of profound energy left Ye Guan frantically retreating. However, a few figures flashed and appeared next to him.

A ruthless light sparkled in Ye Guan’s eyes, and he slashed out fiercely with the sword in his hand.

Slash!

Ye Guan successfully deterred his enemies, but he had to retreat once more, giving his enemies enough time to surround him.

The Dao Soldiers of the Guanxuan Academy’s Military were trying to besiege him!

The Path Sword returned to Ye Guan, and the Dao Soldiers retreated the moment the Path Sword landed in Ye Guan’s hands. However, Ye Guan was still surrounded by ten Dao Soldiers, who were keeping a distance from him.

In addition, there were ten Dao Soldiers stationed above him as well as ten Dao Soldiers in every cardinal direction. They were obviously afraid that Ye Guan would escape.

Ye Guan stood still. Blood continuously trickled down his lips, and his clothes were drenched in his own blood. He had obviously suffered severe injuries.

The onlookers were silent.

A hundred Dao Soldiers and An Wujun! The onlookers reckoned that it would be difficult for even a Great Sword Sovereign to kill Ye Guan.

An Wujun stared at Ye Guan from afar and said, “An Mu and An Daoxin’s defeat were justified!”

Ye Guan’s strength had truly astonished An Wujun. Ye Guan was just a Space Annihilation Realm cultivator, but he was capable of standing toe-to-toe against An Wujun, whose cultivation base was significantly higher compared to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s sword was powerful, and he had been relying on it to bridge the gap between cultivation bases, but Ye Guan was still a formidable swordsman in his own right.

After all, even an invincible sword was useless in the hands of a weak swordsman.

An Wujun also felt afraid upon witnessing Ye Guan’s speed for himself.

Ye Guan was definitely invincible among his peers.

And if Ye Guan was allowed to grow…

An Wujun’s eyes flashed murderously, but he was afraid as well. The thought of Ye Guan’s future alone terrified An Wujun.

He’ll definitely become a terrifying existence in the future. If I let him go, he’ll come back stronger and annihilate the An Clan!

An Wujun took a step forward.

A ferocious glint flashed in his eyes as he raised his hand and pushed downward.

Boom!

An explosion occurred as the space above Ye Guan collapsed and plummeted toward him. It was fast, and it rapidly closed in on Ye Guan, making him feel suffocated.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He roared and charged toward the sky with his sword!

A direct confrontation! He had no other choice but to face the attack head-on.

Shwik!

Ye Guan punched a hole in the plummeting space, but his face was beyond pallid as blood continuously dripped down his lips. Unfortunately, Ye Guan didn’t have the luxury to tend to his injuries. He stomped and turned into a ray of sword light.

He made a beeline for An Wujun.

An Wujun retreated hundreds of meters away rather than facing Ye Guan’s sword.

I have to exhaust him!

An Wujun could see a glaring weakness in Ye Guan. He was a powerful swordsman, but his cultivation base was too low. Ye Guan definitely couldn’t utilize the full extent of his sword’s power, which meant that every swing with that sword in his hand exhausted a ton of profound energy.

An Wujun decided to whittle away at Ye Guan’s stamina.

Ye Guan’s sword struck nothing but air once more. An Wujun was stronger than Ye Guan, so he couldn’t possibly force An Wujun to force his sword if An Wujun himself wanted to avoid him.

Ye Guan’s pupils constricted upon sensing ten powerful attacks flying toward him. He didn’t think twice and decisively made a move—he slashed out with his sword once more.

Boom!

Ye Guan sliced space apart along with the ten powerful attacks, but it seemed that his enemies weren’t done just yet as a hundred attacks rained down on Ye Guan, making him feel as if he were in the middle of a violent thunderstorm.

The onlookers’ expressions fell—the Dao Soldiers were clearly extraordinary individuals, so why were they ganging up on him?

Ye Guan remained unperturbed as he swung his sword as quickly as he could to defend himself.

Slice, slash, slice!

An incessant noise seemed to have formed a melody as Ye Guan’s sword struck down each and every oncoming attack. However, his situation remained dire. He couldn’t counterattack at all.

He was slowly being pushed into a corner, and his robes were soon completely dyed red in his own blood.

He looked absolutely miserable.

The scene lasted for about a minute, and it ended when the Dao Soldiers finally stopped attacking. Ye Guan had retreated about three hundred meters away from his initial location.

Ye Guan used the Path Sword to prop himself up as blood continuously flowed down his lips. He had just taken two spiritual pills earlier, but regrettably, the spiritual pills could no longer keep up with his injuries.

Meanwhile, An Wujun stood still. He was waiting.

Ye Guan looked like he had already reached the end of the line. In other words, his backer and Dao Protector would soon appear to save his life.

An Wujun was wary of Ye Guan’s Dao Protector, but it had been quite a while since they started fighting, but Ye Guan’s Dao Protector was still missing.

Has she given up on Ye Guan?

She had definitely told Ye Guan to look for the Sword Master in Qingzhou, so An Wujun assumed that she was trying to use the Sword Master to suppress the Guanxuan Academy. If that was the case, why would she abandon Ye Guan?

Ye Guan was extremely talented as well, so there was no way she would give up on Ye Guan without a fight.

An Wujun asked, “Ye Guan, where is your backer?”

Ye Guan wiped the blood off the corners of his lips. He looked extremely weak, but he smiled crookedly upon hearing An Wujun’s words. He seemed invigorated as he shouted, “I have no backer!”

An Wujun glared at Ye Guan and scoffed, “You have no backer? Who was she, then? Who was that swordsman who killed thousands of my An Clan’s powerhouses? Could it be that she’s afraid?”

An Wujun shook his head and continued. “Well, it’s understandable. It had to have been easy for her to show off at the time. But now, she’ll make an enemy out of the entire Guanxuan Academy if she decides to help you.

”If I were her, I would be afraid as well!”

Ye Guan stared deeply at An Wujun and said, “Just wait, she’ll definitely come!”

“You’re just stalling for time!” An Wujun pointed out with narrowed eyes.

He shook his head and said, “Ye Guan, your sword is extremely powerful, much more powerful than I initially thought, but your cultivation base is simply too low. It’s impossible for you to defeat us by yourself.”

An Wujun walked slowly toward Ye Guan and continued. “Since she still refuses to come out, I just have to make do and play with you first.

”Of course, you can rest assured, I won’t let you die so easily. I’ll make sure that you’ll experience the combined pain that my An Clan members experienced when they died by your hands!”

An Wujun abruptly vanished.

Boom!

A terrifying force swept across the bluestone square.
