I Have A Sword-Chapter 1409: If You Hit the Young, the Old Will Come

Ye Guan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly turned his head. Hundreds of meters away, a middle-aged man in a ceremonial robe stood calmly. His right hand was clasped behind his back, while his left hand was clenched in a fist against his chest.

The Divine Imperial Guard Officer—Xing Zhu.

He was an Immortal Emperor Lord!

Xing Zhu stared at Ye Guan without a word. He stepped forward, and instantly, his martial aura engulfed the entire starry region. A terrifying, suffocating pressure fell upon everyone in the vicinity.

In the distance, the spacetime around Ye Guan fractured and collapsed. Just his aura alone was terrifying!

Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished into thin air.

Whoosh!

A sword light spanning ten thousand meters tore through the battlefield, forcefully ripping through Xing Zhu's oppressive martial aura. In the blink of an eye, the sword light reached Xing Zhu.

Xing Zhu raised two fingers and pointed them at the tip of Ye Guan's Qingxuan Sword.

Boom!

In an instant, spacetime across millions of meters collapsed into a dark void. Waves of terrifying martial energy and sword energy burst out, shaking the surroundings. The weak experts from the Old Lands were blown away.

Shrieeek!

A piercing sword cry echoed throughout the battlefield. Sword lights crisscrossed the sky, covering the battlefield in an overwhelming sword intent mixed with bloodline power. Those who touched it were terrified.

When everyone saw that Ye Guan could actually hold his ground against Xing Zhu, they were utterly shocked. Then, their eyes instinctively turned toward Sui Gujin.

Her evaluation of Ye Guan's strength was terrifyingly accurate! Ye Guan could actually contend with an Immortal Emperor Lord! Was he really just a Supreme Emperor, or was his cultivation realm merely a facade?

Sui Gujin wasn't watching the battle. Instead, she held out her palm, where a trace of bloodline energy flickered. She frowned slightly, deep in thought, before shifting her gaze toward Ye Guan in the distance.

Her eyes were deep and unreadable.

Nearby, Qiu Nie and Fu Yue could also sense Ye Guan's bloodline. After a moment of silence, they exchanged glances and nodded.

Boom!

At that moment, the sword light-filled battlefield exploded. Ye Guan and Xing Zhu were both forced backward. Between them, waves of terrifying martial energy, sword energy, and bloodline power roared like a tsunami.

Ye Guan steadied himself, closed his eyes, and let his bloodline power surge through him. His aura was growing stronger by the second.

When he opened his eyes again, they were blood-red. He scanned his surroundings before locking eyes with Sui Gujin. She, too, was staring at him.

Their gazes clashed.

Without hesitation, Ye Guan turned into a streak of sword light and shot into the depths of the starry sky.

He couldn't fight here!

If he were to do that, he would be swarmed and beaten to death. Right now, he could only engage in guerrilla tactics. However, the dark-red chains from before suddenly reappeared, surging toward him with terrifying force.

Ye Guan swung his sword, and the chains were severed. The sealed spacetime around him was restored to normal. Just as he prepared to use his Qingxuan Sword to traverse spacetime, a powerful aura descended behind him.

At the same time, he felt as if he were being crushed in an iron grip.

Without hesitation, Ye Guan turned around and slashed out.

Whoosh!

A mysterious force was forcibly torn apart by his sword.

Xing Zhu appeared before him. At the same time, a mysterious light barrier descended from the depths of the starry skies, sealing off the spacetime of the entire starry region

Ye Guan slashed forward. The moment his sword touched the light barrier, it trembled violently before shattering. He then shot skyward, disappearing into the depths of the starry skies in the blink of an eye.

Xing Zhu was about to pursue when Sui Gujin suddenly said, "Let him go."

Everyone was stunned. They turned to Sui Gujin in confusion.

Qiu Nie furiously said, "Let him go?! That brat is a monster! If we let him go now, in the future..."

Sui Gujin stared at Qiu Nie like he was an idiot. That gaze was utterly humiliating. Qiu Nie's face turned blue with rage. He wanted to explode in anger, but he was stopped by Fu Yue.

Sui Gujin ignored Qiu Nie and walked toward the depths of the galaxy.

Qiu Nie seethed. He glared at Fu Yue. "Why are you stopping me?! I..."

Fu Yue calmly asked, "Isn't this place close to Old Lands?"

"You... What do you mean?"

"This battlefield is too close to Old Lands. If we were to fight here, the Old Lands would get caught in the crossfire."

"What? I know he's strong, but if we all attack together..."

Fu Yue said solemnly, "Of course, he alone isn't a problem. But is he alone?"

Qiu Nie's expression shifted as realization dawned. His anger subsided a little as he muttered, "You mean..."

Fu Yue nodded. "He's more than just extraordinary. Our goal isn't just to kill him! Haven't you heard of the saying, 'If you hit the young, the old will come'?"

Qiu Nie sneered. "So what? His bloodline is indeed extraordinary, which means his father or ancestors must be powerful. But we've united. If his father or ancestors dare to appear, we'll beat the shit out of them."

He wanted to say more, but Fu Yue looked at the starry skies and said, "Elder Qiu, whether you admit it or not, both of our brains are no match for that woman's. As a friend, let me give you some advice: don't offend her over something meaningless. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."

With that, he activated his mecha armor and vanished into the distant galaxy.

Qiu Nie's expression turned ashen.

***

In an unknown starry region...

A streak of sword light shot through the void; it was Ye Guan. He surveyed his surroundings. The star field was eerily silent. Little Pagoda sighed in relief, saying, "Finally, we're out of there."

Ye Guan shook his head. "They let me escape on purpose."

Little Pagoda was stunned.

The star field trembled, and a spacetime rift cracked open in the distance.

Sui Gujin and her people slowly emerged from the rift.

Behind Ye Guan, Xing Zhu silently appeared as well.

To their right, a spacetime rift manifested, and an old man stepped out of it.

When Qiu Nie saw the old man, his expression changed drastically. He immediately bowed in respect. "Master..."

Behind him, the elites of the Old Lands hurriedly saluted.

"Greetings, Sovereign Huai!"

He was ranked third in the Old Lands and was its de facto ruler, as both the Old Lands Sovereign and its Supreme Elder were absent.

Rumble!

A rift in spacetime manifested to Ye Guan's left.

An illusory figure emerged, and it solidified into a woman dressed in a simple white robe. Her hands were elegantly folded in front of her.

Fu Yue hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, Pavilion Master Yue."

Ran Yue!

The Pavilion Master of the Eternal Civilization, second only to the Eternal Ruler. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Three Immortal Emperor Lords.

When Ran Yue and Huai Yi appeared, their gazes immediately fell on Ye Guan in the distance. After a moment, Ran Yue suddenly turned to look at Sui Gujin in the distance and smiled, saying, "At first, I was surprised that a mere swordsman could make you go to such great lengths.

"But now, it seems that it was indeed necessary."

Huai Yi nodded slightly. "Indeed."

The Dao of Order!

In truth, quite a few people were walking the Dao of Order nowadays, but very few had truly succeeded. Despite the odds, Ye Guan had grown into a formidable practitioner of Order.

Someone like him had to be eliminated as soon as possible!

Back then, the Old Lands and the Eternal Civilization had both underestimated the Suiming Civilization at the start, which gave the latter a chance to rise.

Mistakes could be made, but making the same mistake twice would be utterly foolish.

Ran Yue smiled. "Let's not waste any time. My Eternal Civilization will go first."

With that, she raised two fingers and pointed forward. A brilliant ray of light surged from her fingertip, initially as thick as an arm, but by the time it reached Ye Guan, it had expanded to thousands of meters in size.

Ye Guan wielded the Qingxuan Sword and slashed down with immense force. His attack split the ray of light apart, but countless streams of light erupted from within the ray of light immediately afterward.

Ye Guan's pupils contracted sharply. He withdrew his sword to defend himself.

Boom!

In an instant, he was blasted tens of thousands of feet away. When he finally came to a stop, the spacetime around him was already filled with densely packed pitch-black mecha star ships.

The next moment, countless beams of light rushed out of the star ships, engulfing him.

For a brief moment, silence reigned.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the sharp cry of a sword echoed through the battlefield, followed by a dazzling sword light that forcefully tore through the barrage, heading straight for Ran Yue.

Seeing this, Ran Yue smiled faintly. She stretched out her arm, and a mechanical gauntlet materialized around her hand. Then, she punched forward.

Bang!

The sword light shattered instantly, and Ye Guan was once again sent flying thousands of meters away. The moment he stabilized himself, the space above his head ruptured, and a colossal flaming mecha hand, spanning ten thousand feet, came crashing down on him.

Ye Guan stomped fiercely and transformed into a streak of sword light that shot skyward. He thrust his sword with all his might at the massive flaming mecha hand, but his attack failed to pierce it.

Instead, the enormous hand gripped him tightly, attempting to crush him to death.
