Chapter 804: Killing Spree
Ye Guan's eyelids twitched at the sight. This guy is just absurd... he actually summoned an ancestor!
Ye Gua turned to look at Xuan Ce in the distance, wondering whether Xuan Ce could handle what was to come. He genuinely felt concerned for the guy.
The expressions of everyone present became solemn at the sight. Summoning an ancestor meant that the upcoming fight would be a fight to the death; after all, even an ancestor was summoned to join it.
Xuan Ce was stunned by what Asura Jing had done, but then he sneered. Asura Jing had summoned the second ancestor of the Asura Clan rather than the very first Asura King.
And even if he had summoned the very first Asura King, why would Xuan Ce be afraid of him? After all, even the first Asura King was just a half-step Path Creation Realm expert.
With the Qingxuan Sword in hand, Xuan Ce believed that he could cut down even a Path Creation Realm expert with just one sword strike.
An old man slowly emerged from the white light.
The second ancestor of the Asura Clan was here!
He was just a Transcension Realm expert, but he was far stronger than any of the Transcension Realm experts here.
The old man looked around and was about to speak when Xuan Ce laughed boisterously and exclaimed, "A mere Transcension Realm actually dares to show off here?"
He transformed into a streak of sword light and took to the sky. Before anyone could react, a radiant sword light split the sky into two along with the second ancestor of the Asura Clan.
The second ancestor of the Asura Clan was annihilated both in body and soul. To make matters worse, it happened in just a blink of an eye.
Everyone present was petrified.
Asura Jing and the Asura Clan experts were stunned. He's dead, just like that?
Ye Guan recalled something just then. The Qingxuan Sword was particularly powerful against souls and was capable of suppressing them.
The Asura Clan hadn't summoned a mere avatar but a wisp of that ancestor's soul.
However, even if the entire soul of that second ancestor had appeared rather than just a wisp of his soul, he'd still be nothing but an ant before the Qingxuan Sword.
Xuan Ce's confidence soared. He turned and pointed his sword at Asura Jing. His face was full of disdain as he exclaimed, "Come at me, Asura Clan!"
"..."
Ye Guan glanced at Xuan Ce and transmitted, "Master Pagoda, I don't remember becoming that arrogant when I was wielding the Qingxuan Sword."
Little Pagoda responded coolly, "Did you not say that you sometimes feel invincible with the Qingxuan Sword in hand?"
Ye Guan was silent.
Asura Jing's face turned extremely ugly. He was furious, as the Asura Clan had never experienced such humiliation before, but he was terrified as well.
The power of the Qingxuan Sword was far beyond his expectations. He didn't notice that the sword was so powerful when it was still in his hands.
Just then, Asura Jing glared fiercely at Ye Guan in the distance. "This is all your fault! If it weren't for your—"
"Clan Leader Jing," Ye Guan interrupted, staring straight at Asura Jing's venomous face. "If your attempt to save Clan Leader Xuan Ce was just a bit faster, would he really treat the Asura Clan like this? Unfortunately, it is too late for regrets, and all I can say is that you should run away as soon as possible. As the saying goes: 'where there's life, there's hope.' Your Asura Clan just has to survive today's ordeal, and you will have plenty of opportunities to avenge yourself in the future!"
Ye Guan's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke. When the final syllable of his sentence fell, his voice echoed throughout the entire Asura World.
Everyone was speechless.
"Hahaha!" Xuan Ce laughed boisterously. "The Asura Clan won't have that chance."
Swoosh!
Xuan Ce transformed into a streak of sword light, charging at Asura Jing. He knew very well that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the Asura Clan and the Xuan Clan.
With that in mind, Xuan Ce knew that he had to annihilate the Asura Clan today, or the Asura Clan would definitely seek revenge in the future.
The other members of the Xuan clan had the same thoughts as him, and they followed closely behind their clan leader.
Annihilate the Asura Clan!
Realizing Xuan Ce's intention, Asura Jing was horrified. "Retreat to the clan!"
Asura Jing led the Asura Clan's experts in a retreat. This wasn't the time to fight Xuan Ce head-on, as the latter was clearly on a whole new level compared to them.
Just like that, one group fled while another group chased after them.
Xin Yu shook her head slightly, saying nothing and without attempting to stop them. She was too disappointed in the Asura Clan and the Xuan Clan, and she believed that both clans were beyond saving.
In fact, Xin Yu was sure that they'd have to deal with endless trouble if the two clans were allowed to survive.
Taia Tian's eyes flashed in a complex light. He hadn't expected that two clans who once fought side by side were now at each other's throats.
Greed!
Asura Jing eventually realized that everything was a part of Ye Guan's scheme, but it was already too late. The situation had spiraled out of everyone's control; the Asura Clan and the Xuan Clan could no longer live beneath the same sky.
Taia Tian turned to look at Ye Guan with a complicated expression. A young man with such incredible strength and intelligence wasn't someone an ordinary family could foster.
Is he really from a Tier Four civilization?
Taia Tian's eyes revealed a trace of worry at the thought. The Taia Clan had chosen to become allies with Ye Guan, but Taia Tian knew that relationships between civilizations were always based on interests.
If Ye Guan truly came from a Tier Four civilization, the Asura Civilization could be in grave danger. After all, no one could tell for sure whether Ye Guan's civilization harbored malicious intent or not.
At first, Taia Tian doubted that Ye Guan was from a Tier Four civilization, and it was all because Ye Guan's cultivation base was too low. Moreove,r Ye Guan himself had claimed that he wasn't from a Tier Four civilization.
After witnessing the terrifying power of Ye Guan's sword, however, Taia Tian was convinced that Ye Guan was from a Tier Four civilization. The Qingxuan Sword was simply too extraordinary.
"Clan leader Taia, Lady Xin Yu," Ye Guan said.
Xin Yu and Taia Tian looked at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled slightly and said, "I would very much like to maintain a friendly relationship with the Asura Civilization if both of you are its leaders."
Xin Yu and Taia Tian exchanged glances.
"I understand your intentions, Young Master Ye. However..." Taia Tian hesitated, looking worried. "Even the Taia Clan is no match against Xuan Ce with that divine sword in his hands."
"Only the members of my family can use that sword," Ye Guan said calmly, "Without authorization from my family, that sword is useless."
Taia Tian was stunned. "That's..."
Ye Guan smiled. "You both must have already guessed that, right?"
Taia Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. "We had some assumptions, but we weren't exactly sure. Even though you've just confirmed it, we still can't imagine that such a powerful sword actually exists."
Xin Yu suddenly asked, "Young Master Ye, that sword didn't come from the Arcanist Civilization, right?"
"Nope."
Xin Yu stared deeply at Ye Guan, asking, "Did you forge it yourself?"
Ye Guan was about to speak when Xin Yu shook her head and answered her own question, "Impossible. You can't possibly forge such a sword."
Ye Guan chuckled. "Of course, it wasn't me. However, my aunt forged that sword for my father, who then passed it on to me. Anyway, it's a family heirloom, and it's mine now."
Little Pagoda was speechless.
Xin Yu suddenly asked, "Young Master Ye, is your aunt at the Path Creation Realm?"
Taia Tian also looked at Ye Guan with curiosity.
However, Ye Guan shook his head, "No."
Xin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. "Above the realm of Opening a Unique Path?"
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile, "She does not cultivate realms, so she has no cultivation level."
"She doesn't cultivate realms?!" Xin Yu gasped.
Ye Guan asked, "Lady Xin Yu, I'm curious, when you were at the Arcanist Civilization's ruins, what kind of deal were they trying to make with you?"
Xin Yu solemnly replied, "They wanted my faith."
"Your faith?" Ye Guan frowned.
"They'll help me advance so long as I worship the founding ancestor of their civilization," Xin Yu replied. She then shook her head and added, "I am the Supreme Scholar of the Asura Civilization. My faith lies solely in the pursuit of knowledge. How can I place my faith in an individual? Moreover, my intuition told me that their intentions are impure, and the content of that blood-red coffin confirmed my suspicions."
Ye Guan's expression was grave as he asked, "Do you have any idea about their goal? Is it the resurrection of their civilization?"
"I don't know," Xin Yu said, shaking her head slightly. "From what we've seen, we've pretty much confirmed that they have ill intentions. Our Asura Civilization is currently in turmoil, so I'm afraid..."
Xin Yu stared at Ye Guan and continued, "Young Master Ye, why not invite your aunt to visit our Asura Civilization?"
Ye Guan shook his head.
Xin Yu looked disappointed.
Ye Guan smiled, "My aunt may not be interested in the Asura Civilization..."
Xin Yu was silent.
Taia Tian suddenly asked, "Young Master Ye, you told us that you're from a Tier One civilization. Is it true, or..."
"It's true," Ye Guan said, nodding slightly. "I'm from a Tier One civilization."
"But your sword and your aunt..." Taia Tian trailed off.
Xin Yu chimed in, "Your aunt is exceptionally powerful, but you're from a low-tier civilization, is that right?"
"I guess you can say that," Ye Guan said, nodding.
Xin Yu said in a serious tone, "If your aunt can create such a sword, she must be a Path Creation Realm expert at the very least, or is she... stronger than such an expert?"
Xin Yu's eyes filled with expectations as she stared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled and noticed that Xin Yu and Clan Leader Taia Tian were extremely curious about his aunt.
"My aunt has created something else aside from that sword. Would you two like to see it?"
Xin Yu nodded eagerly. "Yes."
Taia Tian also nodded in a hurry.
Ye Guan waved his sleeve, and the three of them appeared inside the world of the tiny pagoda.
Xin Yu looked around in disbelief. "This is..."
Taia Tian's expression was equally solemn.
Ye Guan glanced at the two and remained silent. He brought them into the tiny pagoda not to show off but to talk business.
The Guanxuan Civilization needed allies, after all.
"This is just terrifying..." Xin Yu muttered gravely.
Just as Ye Guan was about to speak, Taia Tian suddenly said, "Something happened."
Taia Tian left the tiny pagoda.
Ye Guan and Xin Yu followed him outside.
Outside, they saw Taia Nan looking at the three newcomers before them with a grim expression. "Xuan Ce... he's on a killing spree."
