Chapter 550: The Path Sword Appears!
Ye Guan's sword had pierced the Divine General, but he was horrified to discover that the Divine General in front of him wasn't the Divine General's true body.
A middle-aged man clad in divine armor stood thousands of meters away from him.
The middle-aged man's eyes sparkled, and he exuded a majestic and powerful presence.
The "Divine General" Ye Guan had just killed was nothing more than a puppet. Ye Guan shattered the puppet with a swing of his sword, and then he looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was staring at Ye Guan as well. Moments later, the middle-aged man soared into the sky with his palms open. He placed his right palm vertically between his eyebrows and formed seals with his left hand.
"Divine Avatar!” shouted the middle-aged man.
Boom!
A deafening noise echoed, and a golden illusory towering a few meters high appeared behind the middle-aged man. The golden illusory figure appeared solemn and majestic; it was like an ancient deity that one dared not to look at directly.
Aged voices abruptly pervaded the starry sky, but Ye Guan remained calm as he stared at the golden illusory figure. He gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly in his right hand, but he remained unmoving.
Swoosh!
The golden illusory figure charged at Ye Guan and swung its fist.
Boom!
A terrifying force swept toward Ye Guan like a tidal wave. The force was so terrifying and overwhelming that Ye Guan felt like he couldn't breathe just staring at it. Even the light of a myriad of stars dimmed as the torrential force passed by it.
Evidently, the oncoming punch contained a terrifying might.
Ye Guan's gaze remained calm as he stared at the oncoming punch. He seemed as small as an ant in the face of the punch, but there was no fear on his face as he closed them slowly and contemplated over something.
Moments later, his eyes shot wide open.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan vanished into thin air and slashed out with a sword move containing a total of two thousand Heavenrends divided into five Space Overlaps, which were then further compressed into one sword move.
Buzz!
A resonant sword hum echoed, and a radiant sword light came to life. The explosive power of Ye Guan's attack exploded the moment it made contact with the oncoming fist.
Boom!
The sword strike shattered the fist. When the fist shattered, Ye Guan's sword arrived in front of the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man reached forward with his right hand, and countless golden lights surged out of his fist, engulfing Ye Guan.
Swoosh!
However, the radiant sword light did not even dim as it tore apart the golden lights. The middle-aged man felt his pupils constrict at the sight, and a glimmer of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
He dared not confront Ye Guan head-on and decided to retreat. However, Ye Guan chased him and slashed out.
Ye Guan was too weak to defeat four Divine Generals at once, but he was not afraid of just one.
A sinister gleam flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes upon realizing that Ye Guan truly wanted to end his life right there and then.
The middle-aged man stopped and opened his palm. He put his palms together and chanted an ancient, inscrutable incantation. The next moment, countless golden lights erupted from him.
Without hesitation, Ye Guan raised his hand and swung downward upon seeing the kaleidoscope of golden lights. A thunderous boom echoed as the golden lights and sword lights collided, forcing the two backward.
Ye Guan quickly took on a stance and got ready for another sword slash.
The Divine General pointed at Ye Guan and roared, "Divine Punishment!"
A resounding boom echoed as spacetime split open above Ye Guan. A beam of golden light descended from the rift, engulfing Ye Guan. Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m
Ye Guan's fleshy body disintegrated beneath the golden beam of light.
Ye Guan furrowed his brows. He waved his sleeve, and a radiant sword light slashed out. However, it shattered upon contact with the golden beam of light. Ye Guan looked bewildered at the sight.
Ye Guan shook his head and smiled at the sight. It seemed his plain-skirt aunt had truly reincarnated. Of course, she was still omnipresent. After all, she was already invincible.
Ye Guan's lips curled slightly into a mischievous smile upon recalling something.
Moments later, Ye Guan snapped back to reality and turned to look into the distance.
Aunt Little Jing had managed to lure out the true bodies of the three "Divine Generals."
Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and charged at the Divine General nearest to him. The Divine General whipped around, but Ye Guan had already arrived with a sword in hand.
The Divine General's expression changed drastically. He roared and swung his fist toward. However, Ye Guan raised his sword, prompting the Divine General to retreat in a hurry.
He had witnessed his companion's death under Ye Guan's sword in a head-on confrontation, so he dared not to face the sword head-on.
Ye Guan shattered the oncoming fist imprint with a swing of his sword and stared at the Divine General, who had retreated thousands of meters away.
Once the Divine General came to a stop, he immediately declared, "Retreat!"
The remaining two Divine Generals transformed into beams of light, disappearing into the depths of the starry sky.
The Divine Generals had retreated, so the illusory starry sky soon recovered.
Ye Guan ran up to Little Jing with an ugly look. What a shame! We would have killed those so-called Divine Generals if they hadn't retreated.
Little Jing looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Was that the Path Sword?"
"Yes."
The Path Sword! Little Jing nodded slightly and went silent.
Ye Guan said, "Aunt Little Jing, let's go to the Past Clan!"
"Sure!"
They set off once again, heading toward the Past Clan.
On the way, Ye Guan asked, "Aunt Little Jing, how much do you know about the Temple of the Gods and the Past Clan?"
Little Jing shook her head and replied, "The Temple of the Gods and the Past Clan are both extremely mysterious organizations. We only know that they're strong, but I don't think what we've learned is their full strength.
"However..." Little Jing trailed off. She glanced at Ye Guan and smiled. "We have nothing to fear? The most formidable organization in this vast expanse is your Yang Family!”
The Yang Family! Ye Guan shook his head with a smile, finally convinced that he was the weakest link in his family. I really need to step up my game!
"You know I find the Past Clan more intriguing than the Temple of the Gods," Little Jing said.
Ye Guan's curiosity was piqued, and he asked, "Why's that?"
"Back when I traveled through the Time River, I wanted to venture more than a hundred billion years in the past, but I couldn't make it in. However, I stumbled upon something quite fascinating."
Ye Guan, eager for details, inquired, "What did you find?"
Little Jing revealed a mysterious smile. "You'll discover it for yourself someday."
Ye Guan was speechless at Little Jing's teasing voice.
Little Jing added, "I wanted to visit the Past Clan earlier, but there was a formidable woman there whom I couldn't defeat. So I decided to postpone it. Fortunately, I have you to go there with me, so—"
Little Jing cut herself off mid-sentence.
Ye Guan couldn't help but feel worried. Wait a minute. There's something wrong. Does my aunt Little Jing have some kind of ulterior motives for inviting me to wreak havoc on the Past Clan's headquarters?
Ye Guan glanced at Little Jing and transmitted, "Master Pagoda, can we trust Aunt Little Jing?"
Little Pagoda replied belatedly, "She used to be a bandit, so what do you think?"
Ye Guan's expression froze; he had no idea how to respond to Little Pagoda's revelation.
