Chapter 487: Hit His Father Twice

Ye Jun tensed visibly upon seeing Ye Guan enter the Time River. Ye Jun initially wanted to stop Ye Guan, but he knew that there was no way he could stop the latter, who had gone berserk.

Ye Guan's destination was also the Time River, and Ye Jun couldn't just barge into the Time River like what Ye Guan had done.

At first, Ye Jun believed that the King Dao Bloodline of the Eternal Night Family could rival Ye Guan’s Mad Demon Bloodline. However, the reality was different; there was an insurmountable gap between the two bloodlines.

It seemed that there would always be a higher mountain out there. Ye Jun was reminded of something just then, and he turned into the distant void, where Ye Nanqing was still fighting Diyi Ling.

Diyi Ling stared at Ye Nanqing with a dark expression. “Are you truly willing to hop into the muddy waters of this conflict?”

Ye Nanqing's expression remained indifferent as she said, “Yes.”

Diyi Ling squinted, and his gaze carried both anger and resentment. The spacetime around him quivered, but Ye Nanqing calmly stared at Diyi Ling.

Diyi Ling stared deeply at Ye Nanqing and asked, “Why?”

Ye Nanqing calmly replied, “I'm married to him.”

Diyi Ling revealed disbelief, and he stammered, "How is that possible? Y-y-you belong to the Tian Clan...!"

Ye Nanqing wasted no time and waved her sleeve.

An overwhelming wave of energy swept toward Diyi Ling.

...

Ye Guan rushed toward the fleeing Time Reversers. Under the True Tree and the Divine Tree of Nature's constant support, Ye Guan's injuries had healed considerably in the blink of an eye, and he had access to seemingly infinite spiritual energy.

The Time Reversers revealed uneasy looks.

Ye Guan had annihilated quite a few of them in the earlier fight

A lone swordsman had managed to survive and repel them despite their overwhelming numbers. The Time Reversers reeled in shock at the realization.

The middle-aged man and his companions were taken aback upon seeing Ye Guan chasing them from behind. Was Ye Guan out of his mind?

An old man turned to the middle-aged man and pointed out. "We're no longer under suppression."

Clearly, the old man wanted to fight rather than flee.

The middle-aged man turned toward the edge of the Time River, and he caught a whiff of a pungent rusty odor scent. The old man added, "We failed to take down just one person despite our numbers, and we're even getting chased by our target. If word of this gets out, won't we become laughingstocks?"

The middle-aged man's expression turned solemn, and so did the Time Reversers.

They weren't ordinary individuals; they were pinnacle figures during their eras. If news of this incident were to spread, they'd surely become a laughingstock.

The old man was right; their reputation would plummet to the ground if they were to escape when Ye Guan was already chasing after them.

Regardless, Ye Guan's display of power had left the middle-aged man hesitating.

Someone saw that and proposed, "Ye Guan's bloodline is unique, and he's still becoming even stronger. However, I refuse to believe that he is indefatigable. We just need to hold out until his bloodline turns on him and destroys him."

The nearby Time Reversers nodded in agreement. Indeed, Ye Guan's bloodline was powerful, but there was no way such a tyrannical bloodline wouldn't demand an easy price to pay from its master.

Just then, a wave of killing intent swept across them. They turned and saw a young man sprinting toward them while covered in a crimson aura. The expressions of the Time Reversers turned grave at the horrifying sight, and Ye Guan's bloodline aura sent shivers down their spines.

An old man among the Time Reversers spoke with determination, "The array is gone, and our strength has been restored. Why are we still afraid of him? Let’s go!”

The old man led the charge, and the other Time Reversers followed after him.

They had been feeling increasingly frustrated during the course of the previous fight. If they were to flee once again, they would be humiliating themselves. A young man chasing down hundreds of them? That was a humiliation they couldn't afford to bear.

Over two hundred top-tier Time Reversers charged at Ye Guan in the distance, and the collective power of the aura that they were emitting sent ripples throughout the Time River.

A fight to the death was about to happen!

Ye Guan came to a halt, and his figure became ethereal as he took on a stance. The expressions of the Time Reversers changed drastically, sensing that Ye Guan was about to unleash a powerful sword move.

The Time Reversers were still afraid of Ye Guan's two lethal sword moves, and they knew that they would die like their comrades earlier if they were to face those two sword moves head-on.

The Time Reversers receded like a tide and hurriedly created a barrier. Before the barrier could stabilize, thousands of razor-sharp sword lights emerged and converged into a devastating strike.

Bang!

A deafening explosion echoed as the barrier trembled violently and shattered moments later. The impact blasted dozens of Time Reversers away. However, Ye Guan wasn't done just yet as a streak of crimson light rushed toward them.

Their leader, the middle-aged man, gnashed his teeth and roared, "Attack!"

As they charged towards Ye Guan, a sword light cleaved through one of the Time Reversers. The unfortunate Time Reversers' blood spurted into the air and was instantly absorbed by Ye Guan's bloodline.

Fuelled by bloodlust, Ye Guan gripped Xuanyuan and unleashed a crimson sword wave.

Shwing!

A Time Reverser perished in an instant.

Meanwhile, his fellow Time Reversers took advantage of that opportunity to attack Ye Guan from all directions.

Ye Guan looked up and roared; a mysterious force instantly sprang up.

Sword Domain!

Ye Guan's Sword Domain manifested and subdued the Time Reversers' imposing auras. The Time Reversers moved quickly in a desperate bid to escape the Sword Domain's suppression, but Ye Guan had no plans of letting them go so easily.

Ye Guan transformed into a crimson streak of sword light that flew toward the nearest Time Reversers. Ye Guan reappeared amidst the dazzling sword light and slashed out—Heavenrend!

The Time Reversers in front of Ye Guan were blasted away, and a powerful energy tore through the chunk of Time River in front of Ye Guan.

At the same time, a spear flew toward Ye Guan from behind, and over a hundred auras carrying the imposing might of a million mountains pressed down on Ye Guan, immobilizing him.

Ye Guan's expression turned fierce. He gripped his sword tightly and roared, unleashing a kaleidoscope of crimson sword lights from within him.

Crackle!

The suppression was torn apart by the crimson sword lights, but the spear managed to pierce Ye Guan from behind. Undeterred by the injury, Ye Guan whipped around and slashed down.

The Time Reverser wielding a spear was blasted away, and his fleshly body disintegrated inch by inch. However, Ye Guan had no time to take a breather as dozens of powerful auras surged toward him.

The myriad crimson sword lights vanished, and Ye Guan was blasted hundreds of kilometers away. Before he could even stabilize himself and land, a colossal fist imprint descended toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan opened his palm, and Xuanyuan took to the sky, piercing the colossal fist imprint.

However, the colossal fist imprint had bought just enough time for the Time Reversers to approach Ye Guan safely and attack him.

Ye Guan jumped forward and swung Xuanyuan. Crimson sword lights erupted like a tempest, dazzling everyone and forcing them to retreat.

Both sides fought fiercely, and they seemed to have been driven to madness by their intention to kill the other side. Neither side was willing to back down.

However, Ye Guan became more and more excited the longer the battle dragged on. He also became even stronger the more he fought, and it was all thanks to his Mad Demon Bloodline.

An hour later, the Time Reversers' overwhelming numbers had been reduced to around two hundred. Ye Guan was no longer unscathed; he was riddled with wounds, but his Divine Tree of Nature worked tirelessly to heal him.

In other words, one would find it difficult to kill Ye Guan unless one were to hit the latter with a one-hit-one-kill attack.

The Divine Tree of Nature was truly extraordinary.

Meanwhile, the Time Reversers were becoming uneasy upon realizing that Ye Guan was becoming even stronger rather than weaker over time.

"He's definitely about to reach his limits!" a Time Reverser exclaimed.

And Ye Guan would surely experience a backlash once he reached his limits.

With that thought in mind, they charged at Ye Guan. However, they had changed their tactic. They no longer fought to kill Ye Guan as soon as possible. Instead, their goal was a battle of attrition until Ye Guan succumbed to the backlash of his bloodline.

Ye Guan had chosen to let go of the reins, allowing his Mad Demon Bloodline to run free. The incessant influx of bloodline power filled Ye Guan, allowing him to kill and vent out his pent-up frustration to his heart's content.

Kill everyone!

Ye Guan wouldn't hesitate to hit even his father twice if the latter were here.

An hour later, more than a dozen Time Reversers lost their lives. The surviving Time Reversers revealed extremely grim looks upon realizing that Ye Guan wasn't weakening at all.

This was outrageous!

The Time Reversers once again mulled over the option of retreating, as Ye Guan seemed like he had become the incarnation of the God of Death. At first, they were highly motivated and were ready to fight to the end, but to their dismay, Ye Guan was becoming even stronger over time; his bloodline also showed no signs of exhaustion.

To make matters worse, Ye Guan's sword intent was showing signs of an imminent breakthrough.

The Time Reverser were both uneasy and desperate.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan rushed forward and slashed out. A burst of crimson sword light pushed back more than ten Time Reversers. Seizing the opportunity, the Time Reversers retreated even farther, creating space between them and Ye Guan.

The faces of the Time Reversers became incredibly dark while staring at Ye Guan covered in blood and shrouded by a crimson aura.

The middle-aged man realized just then that retreat was the best option, as they were utterly helpless against the young swordsman.

The middle-aged man was about to give the order to retreat when a blue-robed man pointed out. "His bloodline is becoming even stronger over time, but I think it's about to reach its limit. It's only going to last for thirty minutes at most.

"His bloodline will become exhausted, and he will meet a demise with its backlash.”
