Chapter 226: Beyond Ten Realms, Your Parents Will Fight For You

Ye Guan looked at the sky with a serious expression. Unyielding Bones—the Unyielding Bone was too precious to be ignored. The Unyielding Sovereign’s disappearance meant that the cultivators lurking in the dark wouldn’t miss the opportunity to plunder the Unyielding Bones from Han Zong, who had yet to assimilate the Unyielding Bones.

An hour… Ye Guan was silent. Can I do it?

Han Zong saw Ye Guan’s hesitation, and he said, “Big Brother, my sister…”

Ye Guan looked at Han Zong and asked, “Is she strong?”

Han Zong looked at Ye Guan and said seriously, “She’s very beautiful.”

Ye Guan was stunned.

Lian Shuang and the others were stunned as well.

Ye Guan stared at Han Zong. Damn it. You looked like such an honest and upright man, but you actually know how to use a honeytrap?!

Rumble!

An aura gushed out of the rift in space.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and then he was shocked.

The aura… it was too weak.

Lian Shuang and Han Zong’s expressions grew grim.

Lian Shuang muttered seriously, “A True Realm cultivator...”

A True Realm cultivator? Ye Guan was silent.

Since the True Universe employed its elites to attack him, Ye Guan felt that everyone beneath a Divine Sovereign was weak.

However, Divine Sovereign cultivators were prodigies in universes.

In other words, even though the Guanxuan Universe couldn’t compare to the True Universe when it came to overall prowess. The Guanxuan Universe wasn’t weaker than the other universes that the True Universe had acknowledged.

Ye Guan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Lian Shuang and the rest.

They seemed to be hesitating about protecting Han Zong.

Protecting Han Zong meant offending the organizations that had decided to come here to plunder Han Zong’s Unyielding Bones. To make matters worse, the enemies outnumbered them, so they didn’t really have any real advantage.

They would have to join a brutal battle if they wanted to protect Han Zong. Moreover, it wasn’t like they had a deep relationship with Han Zong. However, they felt like abandoning Han Zong would leave a bad taste in their mouths.

Ye Guan looked at Lian Shuang and the others without saying anything.

He didn’t attempt to persuade them.

After all, the upcoming battle would be a brutal one.

He was going to help Han Zong, but it was his own decision.

He was going to let the others decide if they would help Han Zong.

At this moment, the woman marred by a birthmark blurted out, “I will stay.”

Lian Shuang and Zong Shou looked at the woman in shock. However, the woman marred by a birthmark didn’t explain. She opened her palm, and an ancient array flew up from her hands before landing on top of Han Zong’s head.

The array transformed into a golden ray that covered Han Zong.

Ye Guan cast a curious gaze on the woman marred by a birthmark. The array was extremely sturdy, even by his standards. Was she a Divine Mage?

“I’m willing to help Han Zong!” shouted Lian Shuang.

Zong Shou pondered briefly before declaring, “I’ll stay and help as well.”

Han Zong cupped his fist and hurriedly said, “Thank you, everyone.”

The True Realm cultivator appeared in front of the group. He swept his gaze coldly at the group members before his eyes landed on Han Zong. “Give up the Unyielding Bone, and I’ll let you live.”

“I—” Han Zong started.

However, Ye Guan interrupted him. “Can you give us some time to consider?”

The True Realm cultivator stared at Ye Guan and said, “You can just say it if you want to buy time.”

Swoosh!

Ye Guan abruptly disappeared.

The True Realm cultivator’s eyes narrowed. He put his palms together, and a golden light burst out of his palms.

Boom!

The golden light was destroyed, and the True Realm cultivator flew several hundred meters away. His fleshly body was torn, and a sword pierced his forehead before he could even recover.

He perished in just a few seconds.

Lian Shuang and the others were in disbelief. A True Realm cultivator died in just a few seconds?

Ye Guan was silent. It was the first time he had attacked anyone since his breakthrough, but he didn’t use his full power. He only used twenty swords. He also didn’t emblazon them with his Invincible Sword Intent and Invincible Sword Force.

Despite that, he managed to make quick work of a True Realm cultivator.

Ye Guan finally had a rough idea of his true prowess.

Lian Shuang and Zong Shou were stupefied. They knew Ye Guan was strong, but they didn’t expect him to be capable of killing a True Realm cultivator in just a few seconds.

The woman marred by a birthmark quietly looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan tilted his head and looked up without saying anything.

He knew that there were still many lurkers up above.

The Unyielding Bones were just too tempting.

Ye Guan glanced at Han Zong. At this moment, Han Zong was trying his best to assimilate the Unyielding Bones. He was emitting an aura that was so intense and powerful that it was borderline abnormal.

If the current Han Zong had attacked, the True Realm cultivator just now would have perished. Once he had completely assimilated the Unyielding Bones, his power would be unimaginable!

Rip!

A rift in space split open, and a man in black walked out of the rift.

Ye Guan frowned. The man in black wasn’t a True Realm cultivator. Ye Guan couldn’t measure the man in black’s realm as he wasn’t giving off any aura. It felt like he had become one with the world.

Ye Guan was silent. A powerhouse was here.

The man in black stared at Ye Guan and took a step forward.

Spacetime burst open beneath his foot.

Crack!

A spacetime rift appeared in Ye Guan, and a fist imprint emerged from it.

Ye Guan slashed out with his swords. He only used twenty swords like earlier.

Boom!

A golden light briefly pervaded the area as Ye Guan flew several hundred meters away.

The man in black didn’t chase after Ye Guan. He turned and sent a fist flying toward Han Zong. He moved fast, and he arrived in front of Han Zong in the blink of an eye.

However, Zong Shou and Lian Shuang stood in front of Han Zong.

Zong Shou roared, and he thrust his spear toward the oncoming fist. Lian Shuang also gesticulated with his fingers, and a dozen golden rays of light flew out of his fingertips.

Boom!

Zong Shou and Lian Shuang flew backward.

A golden array was suddenly emblazoned on the man in black.

The spacetime around the man in black was torn apart, and he flew backward. As soon as he stopped, he turned to look at the woman marred by a birthmark with a grim look.

“Ancient Divine Sorcerer!” he growled.

The woman marred by the birthmark quietly stared at the man in black.

Swoosh!

The man in black vanished. The spacetime in front of the woman marred by a birthmark was torn open, but a sword stood in the man in black’s path.

Boom!

Ye Guan and the woman marred by a birthmark immediately retreated at the moment of impact. However, the man in black was relentless. He rushed toward them in an effort to attack them while they were in mid-air.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. He thrust his swords forward.

This time, he used all twenty-five swords.

Boom!

A dazzling sword light blossomed in front of Ye Guan. Ye Guan quickly brought the woman marred by a birthmark several hundred meters away. The man in black was also forced back around the same distance.

A kilometer of spacetime between them was lacerated, and a terrifying spider web-like crack appeared in the fabric of spacetime itself.

Ye Guan and the woman marred by a birthmark finally stopped retreating.

Ye Guan looked at the man in black and asked, “Miss, can you estimate his cultivation base?”

The woman marred by a birthmark looked at the man in black and responded, “He managed to withstand your powerful twenty-five swords. He must have cultivated the Immortal Body, so he must be in the Immortal Realm.”

“He must be ten realms higher than me, then. No wonder he managed to withstand my swords,” said Ye Guan.

The woman marred by a birthmark frowned. She thought that Ye Guan was good at pretending.

Meanwhile, the man in black looked down at his right hand.

A deep wound was on his right hand.

The man in black frowned and looked at Ye Guan.

“You’re a Minor Tribulation Realm cultivator!” He pointed out.

Ye Guan nodded.

The man in black’s pupils constricted in shock. The young man was at least ten cultivation realms beneath him, but the young man actually managed to injure him despite the massive gap between them. What a terrifying young man!

The man in black clenched his fists while glaring at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was about to take action, but the man in black suddenly said, “Pardon my intrusion.”

With that, he vanished, leaving nothing but a trail of black light that soon disappeared.

The man in black chose to give up on the Unyielding Bones. He had come here to plunder a treasure, but he wasn’t willing to risk his life for it. Ye Guan’s prowess was just too incredible that it was borderline wicked.

A young man as powerful as Ye Guan was bound to have a powerful backer. If he had continued fighting Ye Guan, the latter’s backer would have come after him for revenge.

It was a universal fact that geniuses could only be nourished with enough resources, so Ye Guan’s Dao Protector had to be a supreme elite, or his family was too powerful for the man in black to offend.

Thus, the man in black decisively gave up on the Unyielding Bone.

Everyone was stunned to see the man in black leave. Why did he run away?

Wait, did he actually just leave? Ye Guan was confused. It was a shame because he wanted to exchange blows with an Immortal Realm cultivator.

All of a sudden, the woman marred by a birthmark frowned and said, “This is bad.”

Ye Guan turned to look at her, and she explained, “Powerful cultivators are rushing over here.”

Ye Guan frowned. Han Zong’s acquisition of the Unyielding Bones had obviously spread like wildfire, attracting people who wanted to take the treasure for themselves.

Ye Guan looked at Han Zong. Han Zong was at a critical juncture. Their efforts would be wasted if he got interrupted. Han Zong was also anxious, and he couldn’t truly focus on assimilating the Unyielding Bones.

“Han Zong!” shouted Ye Guan.

Han Zong turned to look at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan smiled at him and said, “Focus on the Unyielding Bones. Don’t worry about anything else.”

Han Zong took a deep breath and relaxed.

“Understood!” he exclaimed and closed his eyes to focus on the Unyielding Bones.

Ye Guan calmly looked up.

Boom!

Multiple rifts in space manifested at the same time, and powerful auras gushed out of the rifts. Lian Shuang and Zong Shou’s expressions turned grim at the terrifying sight.

An old man walked out of the rift. The world started trembling beneath the old man’s presence. The old man was an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator.

The old man swept a cold gaze across everyone before saying, “The Daluo Sky Clan has arrived! Everyone else should scram!”

Hundreds of cultivators fled upon hearing the old man. At least twelve of those who had chosen to give up the Unyielding Bones were Immortal Realm cultivators, while over a hundred of them were True Realm cultivators.

Lian Shuang’s expression turned solemn as he said, “The Sky Department’s Daluo Sky Clan... They’re the mortal enemy of the Han Clan.”

The Han Clan’s mortal enemy. Ye Guan frowned.

The old man’s gaze finally landed on Ye Guan.

“I want you to scram in three seconds. Otherwise, you will have to stay here forever. One—”

A beam of crimson light abruptly swept past the old man’s neck. Blood haphazardly spurted out of the headless stump, and the old man perished just like that.

A scythe-wielding man in black stood behind the old man’s corpse. Ye Guan was stunned.

The scythe-wielding man in black looked at Ye Guan and bowed slightly.

His voice sounded hoarse as he explained, “Mistress has said that Young Master will have to fight if your enemies are within ten realms above yours. Beyond ten realms, however, your parents will fight for you.”

Everyone had no idea what to say.
