Chapter 1410: Everywhere Ye Xuan Went, Plain-Skirt Destiny Was Sure to Follow

Realizing that there was a high chance he could die, Ye Guan's expression turned fierce. He stomped down hard with his right foot, and his sword shot toward the sky.

He and the Qingxuan Sword became one.

Hiss!

Before the mecha hand could crush Ye Guan, he slashed his way out of the hand. Without pausing, he pivoted midair, and his sword flew straight toward Ran Yue in the distance.

A thousand-meter distance was narrowed in an instant.

Ran Yue's eyes flickered with surprise as she focused on Ye Guan's Qingxuan Sword, her gaze tinged with curiosity. However, her expression remained calm as the sword neared her. With a firm grip, she clenched her right fist and threw a punch.

A massive mecha fist flew forward, colliding with the oncoming sword light.

Boom!

The sheer force of the impact stopped Ye Guan's sword in its tracks.

Just as Ye Guan was about to strike again, Ran Yue twisted her wrist, and a beam of light erupted from her mecha's hand, sending Ye Guan flying away.

With a casual wave of her hand, another streak of light shot from her palm. The light expanded rapidly, morphing into a towering mecha that was over a thousand meters tall.

The towering mecha gripped a massive sword in both hands, leaped into the air, and slashed down at Ye Guan with immense force. The sheer might of the attack sent shockwaves across the battlefield, forcing everyone to retreat.

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of blood-red light as he shot upward to meet the attack. His sword clashed with the giant sword, and the instant they made contact, the starry sky shattered completely.

BOOM!

The overwhelming power behind the strike sent Ye Guan flying once more.

At the same time, the towering mecha's sword shattered.

Ye Guan came to a halt and felt as though his internal organs were torn apart.

The attack he just withstood was

that

terrifying.

Ran Yue glanced at the broken sword that Ye Guan had just destroyed, then turned her gaze back to him. "Let's not waste any more time."

Even she was surprised by Ye Guan's strength. More importantly, she realized she couldn't take him down quickly. Dragging the fight out any longer was pointless.

The moment her words fell, she opened her palm again. Two more giant mecha emerged, joining the battlefield. The three mecha charged at Ye Guan, and the pressure they were emanating made the starry skies churn violently.

Ye Guan's eyes reflected a sea of blood. Without hesitation, he soared into the sky and swung his sword at the oncoming giants.

Boom!

A blood-red explosion erupted across the battlefield. Ye Guan was blasted backward once again. As he retreated, his instincts told him to defend himself. His pupils shrank, and he turned, raising his sword.

Clang!

A blood-red sword light shattered in all directions. Ye Guan spat out a mouthful of blood from the attack. The attacker was Xing Zhu, the Chief Enforcement Officer of the Suiming Civilization.

Before Ye Guan could even catch his breath, another attack flew toward him. He turned just in time to see a massive fist strike barreling toward him.

The attack was from Huai Yi, who was from the Old Lands.

Ye Guan gritted his teeth and raised his sword to block.

Boom!

He was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away, blood and sword light scattering in his wake. At that moment, the towering mechas, Xing Zhu, and Huai Yi vanished from sight.

Three Immortal Emperor Lords had attacked at once, and their combined power was unimaginable. The starry region itself trembled, unable to withstand the devastating energy.

Rumble!

Before everyone's eyes, three terrifying auras crashed into the spacetime region where Ye Guan was standing. That point in space imploded, sending endless blood-red sword lights scattering in all directions.

Ye Guan was thrown violently from the blast.

He tumbled backward for over a hundred thousand meters before finally managing to stop. The moment he stopped, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His fleshly body was covered in cracks, and his flesh was torn apart.

Fresh blood dripped incessantly from his body.

He simply couldn't fight three Immortal Emperor Lords at the same time.

To make matters worse, the three weren't going to give him any chance to recover. The moment he stopped moving, waves of earth-shattering energy surged toward him once more.

The sheer pressure obliterated everything in its path, and the star field around him collapsed into nothingness.

It was an apocalyptic sight.

Seeing the three enemies closing in, Ye Guan's eyes burned with determination. In that instant, his fleshly body and soul ignited into flames, and his aura skyrocketed. He had no way out; retreat was not an option.

Instead, he charged forward, his sword unleashing a monstrous, blood-red arc toward his foes.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rocked the battlefield, shaking the entire starry domain. In the next instant, the blood-red sword light was shattered. Ye Guan was sent hurtling through space once again.

This time, he was thrown back hundreds of thousands of meters. The moment he came to a halt, the spacetime behind him collapsed into oblivion.

He coughed up blood, and he trembled violently from the impact.

Meanwhile, Ran Yue and the others were not unscathed. They glanced at one another, and their expressions were grim. Each of them bore deep sword wounds, and over a dozen gashes marred their figures.

The young swordsman fought the three of them at the same time, and he still managed to injure them.

And he was only a Supreme Emperor.

When had the Supreme Emperor Realm become so fearsome?

The three exchanged glances, murderous intent flashing in their eyes as they prepared to strike again.

Just then, a voice rang out. "Wait."

The trio paused in surprise and turned.

A woman in red walked toward them.

She was none other than Shang Hongyi.

Seeing her, the three were visibly puzzled, but they quickly straightened up and greeted her respectfully. Even Sui Gujin nodded at her.

Shang Hongyi ignored them and stared at Ye Guan.

At that moment, Ye Guan was in an utterly miserable state. His fleshly body was mangled, revealing stark white bone beneath. His hand, still clutching the Qingxuan Sword, trembled uncontrollably. Despite his injuries, the killing intent and sword intent radiating from him remained as fierce as ever.

Shang Hongyi smiled faintly. "I have to say that I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to reach the Old Lands so quickly. I also hadn't expected that you'd be this strong."

Ye Guan slowly lifted his head to meet her gaze. His expression was eerily calm.

Shang Hongyi smirked. "Are you thinking that you still have your faith power left, and that you'll use it for one final gamble to capture me?"

Her smile deepened, tinged with amusement. "Go on, then. Use it. I am waiting."

Ye Guan wiped the blood from his mouth, but the moment he did, fresh blood welled up again. He gave up on the effort, looking at Shang Hongyi with cold indifference. "Do you find this fun?"

"Pfft! Of course." Shang Hongyi extended a hand toward him. At the same instant, Ye Guan thrust his sword forward, but she was faster, and her hand pressed lightly against his chest.

Boom!

Ye Guan was blasted away. As he flew across the skies, his fleshly body shattered, piece by piece. By the time he stopped, only his soul remained.

Shang Hongyi walked toward him leisurely, and a playful smile tugged at her lips. "Why wouldn't it be fun? I have a habit, you see. I love watching people who think they stand a chance struggle in vain...

"Nothing personal, of course. I do this to everyone."

She then looked down at Ye Guan and smirked. "How about this? If you kneel and beg for your life, I'll spare you."

Ye Guan's eyes suddenly flickered with cold light. Without hesitation, he thrust his sword forward. Before his Qingxuan Sword could pierce her glabella, it stopped, frozen a mere half-inch away from Shang Hongyi's glabella.

His sword wouldn't budge at all.

"

Hahaha!

"Shang Hongyi laughed and flicked the Qingxuan Sword.

Boom!

Ye Guan was blasted away along with his sword. When he finally came to a stop, his soul became blurry, while the Qingxuan Sword shuddered violently, struggling to stabilize Ye Guan's soul.

In the distance, Shang Hongyi produced a bright red fruit, took a big bite, and smiled. "I have a weakness for stubborn types like you; there's a certain satisfaction in breaking you down bit by bit."

Ye Guan glanced at his own fading soul, and then he surveyed his surroundings. Not far off, the three Immortal Emperor Lords were watching him, surrounded by countless faint yet ominous auras...

Just then, Shang Hongyi suddenly extended her right hand and pressed it lightly against Ye Guan. Instantly, a fearsome aura enveloped him, forcing him to kneel.

Ye Guan clutched the Qingxuan Sword tightly with his right hand. His legs were starting to disappear, as his soul was beginning to lose its substance.

"

AAAAHHH!

" Ye Guan's soul erupted into flames. The Qingxuan Sword was engulfed in flames as well.

Boom!

Ye Guan shattered the oppressive force weighing him down.

From afar, Shang Hongyi bit into the fruit again and laughed, "Come on, take me down!"

Instead of attacking, Ye Guan swept his gaze across the three Immortal Emperor Lords before his gaze finally settled on Shang Hongyi. In a low, strained voice, he murmured, "Father... your son did his best this time, really, he did his best. These people are such bullies..."

With those final words, he could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Rumble!

A spacetime rift manifested, and a hand emerged from it, supporting Ye Guan.

The hand belonged to a man dressed in white.

"

Hahaha!

" Shang Hongyi burst out into a peal of uproarious laughter. Fixing her gaze on the white-robed man, she remarked, "I've been tormenting him for a while now, but it still took you a while to show up. How droll—huh?"

Shang Hongyi cast her gaze behind the man dressed in white and saw a lady in a plain skirt.

Everywhere Ye Xuan went, Plain-Skirt Destiny was sure to follow.

A playful smirk tugged at Shang Hongyi's lips. "Now this is finally interesting... a buy-one-get-one-free deal!"
