Chapter 553: Three Swords Unite
Ye Guan accepted the storage ring. Looking at it in his hand, he felt deeply moved.
This aunt is such a good person! I've been too unfairly suspicious of her.
"Little guy, can you do me a favor?" Little Jing asked.
Out of guilt, Ye Guan quickly replied, "What is it, Aunt?"
Little Jing blinked, "Do you have Ancestral Origins?"
Although a little surprised, Ye Guan nodded. "Yes..."
"Can you lend me some?"
Ye Guan momentarily hesitated. Ancestral Origins were extremely precious.
Little Jing sighed softly. "Forget it. You're afraid I won't return it. Even though I'm your aunt, Ancestral Origins are so precious that it's only natural for you to be cautious when lending it to another. Don't worry. I understand."
Ye Guan smiled wryly. "I didn't mean to make you feel that way."
"It's okay, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing a strand of Ancestral Origin.
The sight made everyone in the vicinity excited. Some even failed to conceal the greed in their eyes.
Dao Veins and Dao Origin crystals were valuable to them, but Ancestral Origins were even more so. After all, they not only greatly enhanced their strength but also extended their lifespan.
Those who had entered the River of Time and went against the path of time generally had short lives.
Ye Guan handed the strand of Ancestral Origin to Little Jing with a smile. "Aunt Little Jing, this is for you."
"For me?"
Much to Little Jing's surprise, Ye Guan nodded. "We're family, which means we're related by blood. Borrowing something feels too formal, so I'm giving this to you instead."
"Are you sure?"
"What's there to be unsure about? Here."
Ye Guan put the strand of Ancestral Origin into her hand.
After a moment of contemplation, Little Jing glanced at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan immediately changed the subject. "What are you planning to do now, Aunt?"
Little Jing smiled. "I'm making it up as I go along."
"I'm going back to finding my sister. What about you?"
"We have some things to take care of."
"Well then, Aunt Little Jing, until we meet again."
He turned and flew away on his sword.
Little Jing quietly watched Ye Guan disappear toward the end of the Time River. She then faintly smiled at the Ancestral Origin in her hand.
...
As Ye Guan hurried back, Little Pagoda said, "She's playing you."
"I know."
Little Pagoda was incredulous. "Yet you still gave her the Ancestral Origin?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"What?"
"Master Pagoda, do we stand a chance against her?"
Swoosh!
The sword strike tore apart the lightning, creating an opening.
Frowning, the old man stepped forward and pointed his staff at Ye Guan again, sending him yet another lightning from the sky.
Boom!
Looking up, Ye Guan became ethereal. Thousands of sword lights shot out from him and converged into a single sword.
Bang!
As the sword shattered the pillar of lightning, Ye Guan shook and turned into a streak of sword light. He rushed toward his enemy.
Narrowing his eyes, the old man responded by creating a blood-colored lightning shield in front of him.
Bang!
The shield exploded as Ye Guan's sword pierced it, sending countless fragments flying in every direction. However, the collision had given the old man enough time to retreat thousands of meters away.
Examining the sword in Ye Guan's hand, he frowned slightly. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised that it could cut through his Divine Punishment.
Glancing at his opponent, Ye Guan turned into a streak of sword light and disappeared once more.
The old man held his staff forward.
Boom!
A wave of lightning surged out from his Divine Staff.
Boom!
Although the Qingxuan Sword quickly shattered it, before Ye Guan could feel relieved, a lightning flame suddenly swept over him. He quickly raised his shield to defend himself.
Bang!
Ye Guan roared as he was blasted tens of thousands of meters away. When he finally came to a stop, the same attack rushed toward him again. A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes as he sheathed the Qingxuan Sword and drew it out in one, continuous motion.
Heavenrend Quickdraw!
Buzz!
The sword's cry echoed out as it unleashed overlapping sword lights.
Boom!
The lightning flame soon shattered into countless energy fragments, throwing the entire galaxy universe into chaos.
The old man's expression darkened upon witnessing the scene. He fixed his gaze on the Qingxuan Sword, his shock swiftly turning into amazement.
Not even my lightning flame, a Creation Realm divine object, can withstand the power of his sword! Is it a divine object beyond the Creation Realm?
The old man's brow deeply furrowed.
Ye Guan, who had been pushed back, glared at his opponent. Although he had the Qingxuan Sword, the old man in front of him was terrifyingly powerful. Moreover, since the old man never engaged him in close-quarters combat, it would be difficult for him to kill his opponent with his melee weapon.
I can't waste any more time here!
Looking around him, Ye Guan decided to retreat for now.
He had to prioritize finding his older sister and the others!
However, before he could leave, three extremely terrifying powerful auras appeared in his surroundings. Towering Divine Generals soon manifested around him.
Ye Guan's expression turned grim.
Damn it! Here they come again! There's no escaping from this.
Ye Guan coldly stared at the three Divine Generals. Just as he was about to take action, the space behind him cracked open. Immediately after, three women slowly walked onto the battlefield.
Finally identifying them, he couldn't help but be stunned.
His aunts Ye Qingqing, Slaughter, and White Skirt Destiny—three of the Four Swords—had arrived!
