Chapter 650: Divine Intervention!

The lack of response unsettled Old Zhao. Furrowing his brows, he glanced to his right, only to find that Qi Mu, who had been lurking in the shadows, had vanished.

What's going on?

Confusion clouded Old Zhao's mind.

"Qi Mu?" he called again, but the silence persisted. His frown deepened.

Seeing this, Old Zhao's expression darkened.

Did Qi Mu really slip away?

On the other side, Ye Guan glanced around and smiled.

"You no longer want to fight alone, I take it?" he remarked casually.

Regaining his focus, Old Zhao looked at Ye Guan. He slowly clenched his right hand, and from within his palm, black wisps of gas began to emanate.

Though he did not know why Qi Mu suddenly retreated, Old Zhao realized that he had no way out now and could only choose to fight to the bitter end. At that moment, he decided to no longer hold back.

Ye Guan calmly fixed his gaze on Old Zhao as Invincible Sword Intent gathered around him and turned into blades.

At the same time, Old Zhao suddenly opened his palm again and sent a black bead into the air.

Boom!

Terrifying black light erupted out of the black bead and shrouded the entire Dao Market, plunging Ye Guan into a pitch-black world.

"This is the legendary Hell God Bead," Shen Ye explained. "It can summon the Hell God World and trap people within. You..."

Before Shen Ye could finish, countless chilling screams filled the air, and a myriad of terrifying, bone-chilling, and oppressive winds blew from all directions.

Ye Guan frowned as he looked at his pitch-black surroundings, unable to see anything. Considering his cultivation realm, he should be able to "see" even in the absence of light.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble as if a thousand troops and horses were charging toward him from all directions. At the same time, countless murderous intents and hostility overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

The scene momentarily stunned Ye Guan.

At that moment, Shen Ye shouted, "Use your sword to break through this world!"

Feeling the danger as well, a sense of urgency accompanied his words. If this realm wasn't broken, even he would be in danger here.

A Divine Dao Realm cultivator could unleash unimaginable power when they employed a terrifying divine artifact, especially when the artifact was exceptionally powerful.

Nevertheless, instead of taking out the Qingxuan Sword, Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. He was excited.

No, it's my Mad Demon Bloodline that's excited.

Ever since his Mortal Bloodline reached ninety percent completion, it had shown signs of suppressing the Mad Demon Bloodline, which made the latter seem somewhat uneasy. Now, feeling the overwhelming murderous intent and hostility around him, it became excited.

It knew that its opportunity had come!

It still retained some rationality, though. Rather than awakening on its own, it waited for Ye Guan's command.

Due to the Mortal Bloodline and the Phoenix Emperor Bloodline, the Mad Demon Bloodline was no longer as rampant as before. Hence, it was now attempting to please Ye Guan. After all, if it were to fight the Mortal Bloodline, Ye Guan's stance would be crucial.

Noticing that Ye Guan still hadn't taken out the Qingxuan Sword, Shen Ye became a little anxious. However, just before he could take action, he realized how calm Ye Guan was. He decided to wait and see.

He must have something up his sleeve

.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan opened his eyes, which then turned blood red. At the same time, a terrifying blood radiance erupted out of him.

The moment the Mad Demon Bloodline was activated, Ye Guan instantly and effortlessly absorbed and swallowed the overwhelming murderous intent and hostility surging toward him, creating a whirlpool around him.

Old Zhao, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

What's happening?

He watched the scene unfold before him in disbelief, finding it utterly incomprehensible. Even Shen Ye was so shocked that he felt shivers run down his spine. He didn't expect Ye Guan to possess such a terrifying bloodline power.

This young man is extraordinary!

Shen Ye suddenly chuckled. He could no longer deny how lucky he was.

Ye Guan's aura surged madly as he absorbed all the hostility and murderous intent around him. For the Mad Demon Bloodline, this feast was like a long-awaited downpour. It was simply exhilarating.

𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Old Zhao's expression grew increasingly grim. He hurriedly tried to retract the world around them, but before he could, Ye Guan swung his sword, shattering the world with a burst of blood-red light.

Ye Guan reappeared at the Dao Market like a blood-soaked figure. The entire city took on an eerie blood-red hue as well.

A hundred meters away, Old Zhao stared at Ye Guan, equally shocked. He couldn't have predicted that Ye Guan would have such formidable bloodline power.

On the other hand, it helped him reach a conclusion.

This terrifying bloodline power evidences that he definitely has stronger backers!

Old Zhao's expression darkened even further.

Did Qi Mu get information about this?

Meanwhile, in the shadows, Qi Mu's expression had also turned unprecedentedly grave. He was even warier of the bloodline power that Ye Guan had shown than Ye Guan's power itself.

Bloodline power originated from ancestors. Hence, this could only mean that the young swordsman had incredibly powerful ancestors.

Qi Mu's expression grew even more solemn.

Suddenly, Old Zhao's voice echoed through the Dao Market. "Qi Mu, if we join forces, we can definitely kill this person!"

He knew very well that he couldn't kill Ye Guan alone anymore and that he could no longer back down either. He had no choice but to seek Qi Mu's cooperation.

Qi Mu pondered for a moment before transmitting his words through profound energy. "Old Zhao, please bear with it a little longer."

Huh?

Bear with it?

Old Zhao was utterly bewildered.

What is he talking about?

Qi Mu, who was staring at the blood-covered Ye Guan, had already decided to observe for a little while longer. After all, since Old Zhao had taken the lead in the fight, he wasn't the one in a hurry—Old Zhao was.

Meanwhile, Old Zhao's expression had become incredibly grim. He knew that Qi Mu wanted him to test Ye Guan's depth and then reap the benefits accordingly.

He had been played.

Unfortunately, he was already utterly helpless. Even if he tried to reconcile, Ye Guan would definitely not agree.

Old Zhao took out his opium pipe, lit it, and took a deep puff. His gaze gradually became fiercer.

In the distance, Ye Guan also refrained from attacking. The Mad Demon Bloodline was becoming unstable. Although devouring all that hostility and murderous intent had made the bloodline even more potent, it also became even more difficult to control.

His murderous intent was soaring to incredibly terrifying heights.

Soon, Ye Guan slowly raised his head and looked at Old Zhao with eyes that now looked like seas of blood. Without hesitation, he transformed into a streak of blood-red sword light and disappeared.

Swish!

He then reappeared in front of Old Zhao.

Old Zhao squinted. He then opened his left palm, shooting out a black pillar of light and turning it into a black shield.

Bang!

The shield violently trembled.

Just then, Ye Guan swiftly spun his sword, which had become terrifyingly powerful due to the power of his bloodline.

Boom!

The immense force destroyed the shield and sent Old Zhao flying. Before he could stop, another sword came straight at him.

With his eyes burning with ferocity, Old Zhao let out a roar and threw away the opium pipe. Then, he clasped his hands together and silently recited an ancient spell, creating a magnificent phantom behind him. The phantom towered over them like a colossal demon god standing between heaven and earth.

Old Zhao threw a punch, creating a deafening explosion that shattered the wave of blood-colored sword lights and sent Ye Guan flying thousands of meters away.

Somewhat surprised, Ye Guan looked at the phantom behind Old Zhao. It was slowly turning the spacetime of the entire Dao Market illusory.

"This is his divinity," Shen Ye explained.

"Divinity?"

"Yes, after reaching the Divine Dao Realm, one can summon their own divinity. This is also the greatest trump card of a Divine Dao Realm expert. The higher the divinity, the stronger the summoned phantom. This phantom of his is forty percent divinity. Don't underestimate it."

Ye Guan nodded slightly, then looked at Old Zhao, whose expression was now full of hostility. The murderous intent in his eyes almost seemed tangible.

He was clearly infuriated.

Old Zhao roared, making the entire Dao Market shake. He then rushed forward and threw a punch at Ye Guan.

In response, countless Invincible Sword Intents flew out of Ye Guan and converged into a sword.

Space Overlap!

The attack sent a sharp, tearing sound echoing across the Dao Market.

Boom!

Right after, a burst of blood-red sword light erupted from within the area, instantly submerging the entire city. In the blink of an eye, the Dao Market was turned into a sea of blood.
