Chapter 212: Great Daoist Brush Master!

The Path Sword didn’t react to Ye Guan’s words.

After some time, Ye Guan asked, “Master Pagoda, how do I contact her?”

Little Pagoda pondered for a while before saying, “Actually, the current situation is still manageable. There’s still no need to contact her.”

“Why not?” Ye Guan asked in confusion.

“I don’t want you to get addicted to contacting her,” said Little Pagoda.

Ye Guan frowned. “I’ll get addicted to calling for help?”

Little Pagoda said, “Yes, and you won’t be able to stop by then. Anyway, she’s not interested in these Divine Spirits. In the past, your father fought a tougher battle against them, and he didn’t even ask her for help. I think you should bear with it.”

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

Why was Little Pagoda so afraid of him asking for Plain-Skirt Aunt’s help?

What would happen if Plain-Skirt Aunt appeared?

Ye Guan truly wanted to know the answer to that question.

Just then, Taichu Qin glared murderously at Ye Guan and ordered, “Kill him!”

The Divine Generals rushed toward Ye Guan, and the movement of so many powerhouses made the starry skies tremble as even spacetime started to crumble beneath their combined might.

Ye Guan’s pupils constricted.

He was about to make a move when a rift in space abruptly manifested.

A group of elites walked out of the rift, and Mu Niannian was at the helm of the group.

“Mu Tiandao!”

Taichu Qin’s expression turned serious upon seeing Mu Tiandao[1]. There was no way Taichu Qin would fail to recognize the supreme elite who had been standing next to the Sword Master many years ago.

Mu Niannian cast an indifferent gaze at Taichu Qin.

Without wasting another word, she transformed into a beam of sword light and made a beeline for Taichu Qin.

The beam of sword light obliterated spacetime as it flew. Taichu Qin’s heart jumped in fright. She was so fast that it was impossible to avoid her sword move. Taichu Qin had no choice but to take her attack head-on.

Taichu Qin’s expression was grim as he threw a punch with all his might.

Boom!

The projection of a divine tree enveloped Taichu Qin’s hand as his fist flew to meet Mu Niannian’s attack.

However, Mu Niannian’s sword was already a few inches away from him. The divine tree was chopped down, and Taichu Qin was blasted backward. His fleshly body shattered as he flew across the starry skies.

Mu Niannian was about to deliver the killing blow when she discovered that the Divine Generals had surrounded Ye Guan and the rest. They had moved so quickly that there was no way Ye Guan and his comrades could escape.

Mu Niannian frowned. “Go to hell!”

Her sword let out a resplendent light as it zipped across the starry skies.

A dozen Divine Generals died in the blink of an eye.

Ye Guan also jumped into action as he shouted, “Die!”

From now on, he would take on a more active role. He didn’t want to stay beneath the umbrella of protection. With Ao Qianqian and the Path Sword, why would he be afraid of mere Divine Generals?

Chen Guanzi followed Ye Guan’s lead. He dashed ahead and yelled fiercely, “Die!”

Buzz!

Swords hummed as the swordsmen stepped up valiantly and fought.

Mu Niannian was right at the front, while Tianxiu and the elites from the Nether Palace served as the right and left wings of the cultivators.

The cultivators of the Guanxuan Academy were much weaker against so many Divine Generals, so Mu Niannian and the others served as the first layer of protection. If it hadn’t been for them, the cultivators of the Guanxuan Academy would have perished in just one move.

Mu Niannian was the leader of the attack, so the Divine Generals were struggling despite their overwhelming numbers. Mu Niannian was single-handedly tilting the scales of the battle to Ye Guan’s side.

Right then, a Divine General suddenly jumped in front of Mu Niannian. She frowned slightly and was just about to swing around to kill him when a sword light flashed across and took the Divine General’s life.

Squlech!

Blood spurted out of the forehead of the Divine General. Mu Niannian turned around and saw Ye Guan standing behind her with the Path Sword in his hands.

Mu Niannian glanced at the Path Sword and smiled, “Do you dare to follow me and open a way for the rest?”

Ye Guan smirked. “Of course!”

Mu Niannian grinned. “Once we reach the Xuzhen World, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

With that, she vanished from her spot.

Squelch!

Sword lights pervaded the starry skies as dozens of Divine Generals died with every passing second.

Ye Guan took a deep breath before jumping into the fray.

He moved the fastest he had ever been. Using the Path Sword as his main sword and his flying swords as supports, he took many lives whenever he moved. He had a lot of spiritual medicine, so he wasn’t afraid of running out of profound energy.

Ye Guan followed Mu Niannian closely, and they carved a path amidst the multitude of Divine Generals. They stood at the forefront as they led the others to the Xuzhen Battlefield.

Right behind the two of them were the swordsmen of the Sword Sect. These swordsmen were slowly going through their own transformation. This battle experience was unlike anything they had ever had.

However, the Divine Generals remained fearless and fierce. Aside from Mu Niannian, Qi Bitian, Tianxiu and a few others, the rest of the cultivators were pretty much powerless against them.

Therefore, Ye Guan’s side was still at a huge disadvantage despite their momentum.

In the distance, Taichu Qin was in a terrible state. His fleshly body was no more, and he had become nothing more than a soul. He glared angrily at Ye Guan as the latter killed a Divine General after a Divine General.

He finally understood why Ruler An instructed him to kill Ye Guan at all costs. Ye Guan was simply too outstanding, and the True World didn’t want to witness the birth of another Sword Master.

Back then, the Sword Master had delivered a huge blow to the True World.

The True World still hadn’t forgotten that hard lesson thirty million years later.

Furthermore, Ye Guan seemed to be more talented than the Sword Master.

The Great Daoist Brush Master had also prophesied that Ye Guan would end the long-standing war between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe.

Taichu Qin thought of it as ridiculous, but now, it was clear that Ye Guan had the talent to make it possible.

Taichu Qin looked up and stared at somewhere.

There was another great battle happening elsewhere, and the battle was between An Nanjing and Ruler An.

An Nanjing, Erya, and Weiran were still standing their ground against Ruler An and her army. Ruler An had also stopped Divine Sovereign Taihe from coming to hunt Ye Guan.

The three girls were fighting against eight Divine Sovereigns in addition to Ruler An as well as Ruler An’s personal guards. More than half of Ruler An’s personal guards had perished, and Ruler An was at a huge disadvantage.

Ruler An glared at the three girls. The three girls were too strong. If it hadn’t been for her personal guards’ sacrifice, the Divine Sovereigns here would have perished long ago.

Ruler An’s heart bled upon recalling the forces that she had lost.

The three girls were truly capable of killing just about any Divine Spirit out there, no matter how strong those Divine Spirits were.

I made a mistake. Ruler An shook her head helplessly. The risk she had taken was calculated, but she didn’t expect that the friends of Ye Guan’s grandfather would come to help Ye Guan.

Ruler An looked up and muttered, “Ruler Cang, do you really want to see the death of my men?”

“Pfft!” A peal of laughter echoed somewhere, and a middle-aged man appeared. His hands were behind his back, and he was clad in an oversized black robe. Her hair was a fiery red, and it looked as if it were burning.

A thousand Divine Spirits clad in black armor stood behind him.

Ruler An calmly chided, “Ruler Cang, karma will bite you back for your refusal to help me earlier.”

Ruler Cang’s eyes narrowed, and he asked, “Didn’t you start all this, Ruler An?”

Ruler An snorted, “We could have killed Ye Guan if you had decided to join me earlier. It’s clear that you wanted me to exhaust my forces and land the killing blow yourself when the time comes. Otherwise, why is it that you’ve remained hidden until now?”

Ruler An shook her head and continued. “Unfortunately, it seems that you also underestimated their strength. Ye Guan is about to reach the Xuzhen World. Once he’s there, it’ll be much harder for us to kill him."

Ruler Cang chuckled. “Ye Guan is indeed a rare talent. However, I think you’ve gone crazy. How can a young swordsman be the downfall of the True World? It’s absurd how you actually believed Great Daoist Brush Master’s prophecy!”

Ruler An quietly stared at Ruler Cang.

She knew that convincing an idiot was meaningless.

Ruler Cang sneered and said, “Ruler An, you’ve failed, and you lost so many men in the process. You should just retreat and wait for your punishment."

Ruler An chuckled. “I’m going to be punished, then so be it!”

“I hope you—” Ruler Cang started.

“Hey!” Ruler An shouted. She was staring at An Nanjing as she asked, “Why don’t we work together to kill Ruler Cang and his men?”

Ruler Cang’s pupils constricted as he roared, “Are you mad?!”

Ruler An glared coldly at Ruler Cang, “I deserve to be defeated by the Guanxuan Universe, but there’s no way I can take being schemed against by my colleague! I’ll let you know just in case, but I don’t give a fuck anymore!”

Boom!

Ruler An’s figure disappeared as she made a beeline for Ruler Cang.

The power she had mustered made it obvious to everyone that she truly wanted to kill Ruler Cang.

There was a collective moment of shock among her underlings before they decided to attack Ruler Cang as well. They didn’t think that this was right, but they had no choice. They had to follow Ruler An’s orders if they wanted to survive.

Ruler Cang’s face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. Goodness! This madwoman!

He had made a huge mistake taunting her.

Ruler An was dead serious about killing him.

Erya licked her hawthorn candy. She was slightly puzzled as she said, “Sister An, they’re fighting each other! Shall we help her kill Ruler Cang?”

An Nanjing stared warily at Ruler An and said, “We’ll wait for a chance to kill her.”

Erya was visibly surprised.

An Nanjing calmly explained, “She’s smarter than Ruler Cang. She’s aware that we’ll kill her along with Ruler Cang, so this is her desperate attempt to try and eliminate one of her enemies.

“Ruler Cang probably doesn’t want to help her, so she decided to make the first move by attempting to kill Ruler Cang.”

Erya frowned upon hearing An Nanjing’s explanation.

“She’s smart,” remarked Erya. “Just like Little Xuan.”

An Nanjing’s eyes narrowed into slits as she stared at Ruler An.

“If we don’t get rid of her today, she’ll be a scourge for us in the future. Let’s wait for a bit before killing her,” said An Nanjing.

Erya asked, “Why don’t we do it now?”

An Nanjing patted Erya’s head and said, “If we make our move right now, they’ll work together to attack us! I’m sure she must have made the first move, as she wants us to intervene, which will give Ruler Cang reason to work with her against us.”

Erya nodded and muttered, “I wonder if Little White is done with the bombs…”

“Bombs?” An Nanjing frowned. “You gave her bombs?”

Erya nodded and said, “Yup, I gave her a few dozen bombs, but I told her to use them one by one and that she should run away once she runs out of bombs. I wonder if she still remembers what I told her.”

An Nanjing’s expression stiffened while Weiran frowned.

Is Little Guan still alive? We’re fighting so hard here, but what if Little White has already made a mistake and inadvertently killed Little Guan? Won’t that mean that we’ve been working hard for nothing?

……

The slaughter had dyed Ye Guan’s eyes red.

All of a sudden, Little White appeared on Ye Guan’s shoulder.

She grinned at Ye Guan and waved her claws.

Puzzled, Ye Guan asked, “Master Pagoda, what is she saying?”

Little Pagoda said, “She’s asking if you need help.”

Ye Guan nodded almost immediately. “Yes!”

Little White was thrilled. She waved her claws, and a few dozen egg-like objects the size of a watermelon appeared. She covered her eyes with one hand and reached out for the buttons on the egg-like objects.

Ye Guan’s eyes widened in disbelief, and his pupils quivered in fear. Little White kindly covered Ye Guan’s eyes with her claw and shut her eyes tightly before reaching out for the buttons on the egg-like objects once again.
