I Have A Sword-Chapter 1226: Apology

One versus three? Three at the Supreme Ancestor Realm? Could Ye Guan truly be this bold?

Even the elites of the Helian Clan were visibly shocked. Young Master Ye...was utterly audacious!

Regardless of the outcome, Ye Guan's sheer aura already outshone the three Divine Attendants opposing him.

When Ye Guan spoke, the three Divine Attendants in the distance visibly frowned. Such arrogance! One versus three? If they truly ganged up on him, they would lose all dignity.

Divine Attendant Yu holding a long saber stepped forward, his gaze on Ye Guan. "I'll fight you one-on-one."

"Why waste time with him?" Divine Attendant Pei said, appearing displeased. She clearly favored a group attack.

However, Divine Attendant Yu shook his head slightly. "With so many watching, ganging up on him would ruin the reputation of the Genesis Daoist Temple."

Divine Attendant Pei wanted to argue, but he insisted, "I'll go first!"

With that, he advanced toward Ye Guan.

Divine Attendant Pei hesitated, but Divine Attendant Yin sneered, "He's just after Ye Guan's sword."

Divine Attendant Pei frowned.

The saber in the hand of Divine Attendant Yu was suddenly unsheathed.

Swoosh!

A dazzling saber light erupted, tearing through everything.

Ye Guan charged forward with his swords and slashed down.

Boom!

The saber light shattered instantly, but Divine Attendant Yu had already closed in, his blade descending fiercely.

This strike contained the immense power of Great Dao, its oppressive saber force penetrating the void, suffocating everyone watching from afar.

Ye Guan responded by swinging his swords down again.

Clang!

The saber light splintered into fragments, and Divine Attendant Yu was sent flying. The moment he landed, his long saber shattered.

Divine Attendant Yu narrowed his eyes and focused on Ye Guan's Qingxuan Sword. He was astonished. His saber wasn't ordinary, yet it was destroyed instantly. What kind of divine weapon is that? Does it belong to a Tier Nine Civilization?

The thought made his face darken.

Nearby, the other two Divine Attendants also looked unsettled. They realized how extraordinary Ye Guan's sword was.

If it truly belonged to a Tier Nine Civilization, it suggested that Ye Guan's backing was such a civilization.

Divine Attendant Pei quickly dismissed the idea. "Impossible."

The other two agreed. A Tier Nine Civilization? Ridiculous.

They had investigated Ye Guan's origins. He came from a low-tier civilization with no ties to any advanced powers. He wasn't even a reincarnated elite.

Reaching a Tier Nine Civilization was nearly impossible, and they understood this fact.

Divine Attendant Pei coldly said, "There's no need to think too much. Kill him and be done with it."

She turned to Divine Attendant Yu, who stepped forward again, and his palm conjured an illusory saber. Clearly, he was trying to take on Ye Guan by himself once again.

The other two stepped aside, leaving him to fight alone.

As the illusory saber materialized, a terrifying saber aura surged forward, engulfing the spacetime around Ye Guan.

Ye Guan remained calm. A wave of sword force erupted from within him, forcibly holding back the saber aura.

His sword aura was just as formidable, and it repelled Divine Attendant Yu's attack.

Divine Attendant Yu's figure suddenly became ethereal.

Hum!

A long saber streaked through the air, slashing toward Ye Guan. The spacetime around him shattered under the terrifying blade energy, forcing his sword force back.

This strike was overwhelmingly powerful!

Ye Guan's gaze turned icy, and then he disappeared.

A streak of sword light shot forward, clashing directly with the saber light. He had opted for another direct confrontation.

Boom!

With one strike, the saber light disintegrated into nothingness, and Divine Attendant Yu was blasted away again.

He couldn't withstand the force from Ye Guan.

Before he could recover, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light, appearing before him with two swords slashing down.

Two sword lights descended, tearing through everything in their path.

Divine Attendant Yu's pupils contracted as he finally grasped the terror of Ye Guan's sword. Without absolute strength to suppress him, this weapon was invincible, capable of destroying anything.

Divine Attendant Yu clenched his fists, summoning countless saber lights, but they shattered as soon as they collided with the two sword lights.

Bang!

When the saber lights dissipated, Divine Attendant Yu was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away. Upon landing, cracks spread across his fleshly body, and blood seeped out of his wounds. Divine Attendant Pei and Yin exchanged shocked glances.

From afar, Ye Guan examined the Qingxuan Sword in his hands. He couldn't help but feel amazed; its potential seemed limitless, and it was growing stronger along with him. I truly haven't been harnessing its full potential!

Unfortunately, the sword's power didn't truly belong to him.

Still, now wasn't the time to hesitate. Given the gap between his cultivation realm and the three Divine Attendants, he needed the Qingxuan Sword and the Little Pagoda's assistance. With only two hours to act, he had to eliminate them swiftly.

Ye Guan focused on the injured Divine Attendant. Though his fleshly body hadn't completely shattered, cracks lined its surface. Clearly, it was on the verge of collapsing.

Sword light gathered below Ye Guan's feet, and just as he prepared to attack again, a terrifying aura enveloped him. He turned to see spacetime fracturing nearby, and a middle-aged man emerged from the rift.

Ye Guan's brows furrowed. It was Zuo Lou.

Over a hundred elite cultivators stood behind Zuo Lou and each elite radiated power.

***

Known as the number one guard in the Nine Continents, the Shenzhou Guards were a mysterious unit cultivated by the Zuo Clan. Few, even within the clan, had seen them in action.

Now, the entire Shenzhou Guard was here.

What were they planning?

The crowd watched in confusion.

Zuo Lou addressed Ye Guan from afar, "Young Master Ye, I think you've gone too far."

The onlookers froze.

The first to react was the leader of Wuzhou, and his face darkened with fury as he glared at Zuo Lou. This was clearly an attempt to pick sides!

Zuo Lou's calm demeanor betrayed his intentions—he aimed to curry favor with the Genesis Daoist Temple. Shenzhou had initially avoided contact with them, allowing Wuzhou and the Shikigami Mercenary Group to gain the upper hand. Now, with the Divine Attendants at a disadvantage against Ye Guan, this was the perfect opportunity for Zuo Lou.

If he were cautious, he would let Ye Guan continue fighting against the three Divine Attendants.

If Ye Guan ended up getting overwhelmed, it would be the perfect opportunity for his backers to step forward.

However, Zuo Lou dismissed this idea, certain that Ye Guan's supporters couldn't rival the Genesis Daoist Temple. If they were crushed, Shenzhou's intervention would be meaningless.

Helping now, however, was a bold move—a gesture of loyalty in Shenzhou's favor.

Ye Guan frowned. "I am friends with Miss Zuo Yan—"

"Young Master Ye," Zuo Lou interrupted, "Yan'er has never been your friend. The Zuo Clan has no ties with you. Don't drag us into this."

Ye Guan stared at him in silence.

Zuo Lou added, "Young Master Ye—"

"Enough nonsense." Ye Guan's voice was icy. "If the Zuo Clan has chosen to aid the Genesis Daoist Temple, that makes us enemies. And if we're enemies? We fight."

Swoosh!

He vanished into thin air.

Slash!

A sword light shot straight for Zuo Lou.

Zuo Lou narrowed his eyes slightly; he was mentally prepared. Suddenly, he raised his right hand and threw a punch that unleashed a fist light that cascaded like a waterfall.

Boom!

As soon as the fist light appeared, it shattered in an instant. Zuo Lou was forced to retreat violently, and he stumbled back several steps. When he finally stopped, his right fist was split open. Blood spurted out uncontrollably.

Zuo Lou glanced down at his cracked fist, then slowly lifted his head to look at the sword in Ye Guan's hand in the distance. This sword was even more powerful than he had anticipated.

Far away, Ye Guan, not wanting to waste time, prepared to strike again. However, at that moment, another wave of terrifying auras suddenly surged from the distance.

Ye Guan turned his head. Hundreds of meters away to his right, the fabric of spacetime tore apart. Wuzhou's ruler, Huai Hou, emerged slowly with a contingent of Wuzhou's elite guards.

Huai Hou cast a cold gaze at Zuo Lou. He was clearly displeased that Zuo Lou had taken the initiative to express his allegiance.

As Huai Hou arrived, more powerful auras surged from another direction.

Leading the group was Elder Gu, the second-in-command of the Shikigami Mercenary Group. Behind him were the top elites of the group.

Elder Gu gave a fleeting glance at Huai Hou and Zuo Lou but said nothing.

Seeing that the Zuo Clan, the Wu Clan, and the Shikigami Mercenary Group had all declared their allegiance to the Genesis Daoist Temple, Helian Yu's expression darkened from afar. He had not expected even the Zuo Clan to side with the Genesis Daoist Temple.

Just then, another wave of formidable auras approached from the side.

The crowd turned their heads, and not far away, a spacetime rift manifested.

A young woman emerged slowly from it.

Ye Guan frowned slightly upon seeing the young woman.

She was none other than Pan Ling

Pan Ling fixed her gaze on Ye Guan. "Young Master Ye, although we've met before and have interacted, I must apologize—my Pan Clan has chosen to stand with the Genesis Daoist Temple."
