I Have A Sword

Chapter 806: Uncle

The swordsman who walked out was dressed in a simple, plain, yet clean and tidy white robe. He held a long sword in his hand, and his expression was calm and composed.

Ye Guan was stunned. Why is Uncle Unfettered Swordsman here?

Uncle Unfettered Swordsman had always been a kind and low-key individual, and Ye Guan was both touched and shocked to see him here.

Standing next to Ye Guan, Xin Yu's expression was solemn as she stared at the approaching swordsman. She couldn't sense the swordsman's presence at all, even though he was right in front of her.

This usually meant one of two things—either the other party had an extraordinary concealment technique, or their strength was simply immeasurable.

Which was it? The first or the second? Xin Yu wasn't sure. The swordsman looked honest and unassuming. He didn't give off the air of a swordsman at all.

Taia Tian's expression became solemn as well. Like Xin Yu, he couldn't sense the swordsman's aura or discern his level of strength.

It was strange, but it seemed like the swordsman was familiar with Young Master Ye. Could he be one of Young Master Ye's backers?

The people nearby also cast curious gazes at the mysterious swordsman.

Where did this daring fellow come from? Could he not see that Xuan Ce was on a killing spree? His arrival here was tantamount to seeking trouble!

The swordsman glanced at Ye Guan and smiled.

Ye Guan smiled back and was about to speak when Xuan Ce chuckled and asked, "Are you not convinced?"

The swordsman turned to Xuan Ce and smiled. "Not really, just curious. I'm here to meet the so-called invincible person."

"Haha!" Xuan Ce laughed, "Have you ever heard of how curiosity kills the cat?"

"It'd be great if you could kill me," the swordsman replied softly, "Can you understand the pain of seeking death but finding it elusive?"

Ye Guan and Little Pagoda were speechless.

Xuan Ce was taken aback, but then he chuckled. "I've never seen someone so good at acting. So you've come here to seek death? Sure, I will grant your wish."

Swoosh!

Xuan Ce transformed into a ray of sword light that charged at the swordsman.

Xuan Ce wasn't a swordsman, but it didn't really matter whether he was a swordsman or not. He was wielding the Qingxuan Sword, after all.

Xuan Ce dared not underestimate the mysterious swordsman, and he knew that he couldn't be careless as well. Things would quickly become catastrophic if he slipped up here, so he decided to go all out with his first strike.

Xin Yu and Taia Tian's faces revealed solemnity as soon as Xuan Ce made a move. Even the two of them couldn't withstand Xuan Ce's attack.

Xin Yu and Taia Tian stared at the swordsman. Could this mysterious swordsman withstand it?

Everyone stared at the white-robed swordsman.

Under everyone's gaze, the white-robed swordsman flicked his left thumb, unsheathing his sword.

Whoosh!

Before anyone could react, Xuan Ce abruptly stopped in place as if he had slammed on the brakes.

Shockingly, a sword was sticking out from his glabella.

An instant defeat!

Xin Yu and Taia Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. Xuan Ce was defeated instantly?

"This is..." Taia Tian muttered in disbelief.

Meanwhile, the white-robed swordsman shook his head slightly. His eyes were filled with disappointment as he lamented, "Too weak, too weak!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Xuan Ce tried to activate the Qingxuan Sword, but the Qingxuan Sword transformed into a ray of sword light that flew toward the white-robed swordsman.

The white-robed swordsman opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword flew into his hand. He examined the Qingxuan Sword and smiled slightly. "Isn't this my little brother's sword?"

The Qingxuan Sword trembled slightly as if responding to him.

Xuan Ce was silent.

The white-robed swordsman turned to look at Ye Guan and smiled. He flicked his fingers, and the Qingxuan Sword flew to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan walked up to the white-robed swordsman and smiled. "Uncle, long time no see."

Uncle?!

Xin Yu and Taia Tian's expressions changed dramatically as they cast disbelieving gazes at Ye Guan.

The white-robed swordsman was actually his uncle?

The Unfettered Swordsman was about to speak when his brows knitted tightly. He looked at Xuan Ce, and then he brought his fingers together before flicking it across Xuan Ce.

A corpse covered in blood was forcibly pulled out of Xuan Ce.

The blood corpse looked at the Unfettered Swordsman with a face full of fear and stammered, "W-w-who are you?! I'm a Divine General of the Arcanist Civilization..."

The blood corpse wasn't foolish, unlike Xuan Ce. A glance was enough for him to realize that the Unfettered Swordsman was too powerful for him to contend against, so he tried its best to hide from it.

Unfortunately, the Unfettered Swordsman still ended up discovering it.

The Unfettered Swordsman glanced at the blood corpse and shook his head slightly. "Too ugly."

The Unfettered Swordsman waved his hand, and a wisp of sword qi obliterated the blood corpse.

The blood corpse. "..."

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled.

Meanwhile, everyone nearby was petrified.

The terrifying blood corpse was obliterated just like that?

Having lost the Qingxuan Sword, Xuan Ce's attitude took a sharp turn. He cast a fearful gaze at the Unfettered Swordsman and asked, "W-w-who are you...?"

The Unfettered Swordsman smiled and pointed at Ye Guan in the distance. "I am his father's sworn brother..."

The sworn brother of Ye Guan's father?! Xuan Ce's face turned ashen, and he sobered up as soon as he heard the Unfettered Swordsman's reply.

So that sword belonged to Ye Guan's father...

If the sword was already this terrifying, just how terrifying was Ye Guan's father? Not to mention Ye Guan's father, the white-robed swordsman was already overwhelmingly powerful.

Xuan Ce turned to look at Ye Guan with a bewildered gaze. "Didn't you say that you're from a Tier One civilization?"

Ye Guan nodded. "I do come from a Tier One civilization."

Xuan Ce suddenly roared like a wild beast, "Your father and your uncle are so powerful, and you're from a Tier One civilization?! Come up with a better lie, will you?!"

"I've never wanted to rely on my family. I've been wanting to keep a low profile," Ye Guan replied calmly.

"Fuck you!" Xuan Ce was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. The Unfettered Swordsman waved his hand, and Xuan Ce was reduced to ashes that soon scattered into the wind.

The Unfettered Swordsman looked at Ye Guan and smiled. "Shall we chat?"

Ye Guan smiled back. "Sure."

With that, the two of them walked away, leaving behind Xin Yu and Taia Tian.

Xin Yu and Taia Tian were silent for a long time, reeling in shock.

Xuan Ce was so strong and was invincible against his peers with the Qingxuan Sword in hand, but he couldn't withstand even a single attack from the white-robed swordsman.

He was defeated in an instant.

It was truly unbelievable.

"We're still too weak," Taia Tian muttered. A complex expression flashed in his eyes. Over the years, the Asura Civilization had been waging wars and devouring countless other civilizations. Among Tier Three civilizations, the Asura civilization was considered invincible. Due to their achievements, the people of the Asura Civilization, including the Taia Clan, had become somewhat arrogant.

After witnessing the white-robed swordsman's might, however, Taia Tian realized that their entire civilization was no more significant than a mere ant in the grand scheme of the vast expanse.

Their civilization could disappear in an instant if they end up provoking the wrong person.

There was no doubt that the white-robed swordsman could destroy the entire Asura Civilization by himself.

Xin Yu muttered, "Fortunately, Young Master Ye is a reasonable person."

Taia Tian nodded slightly. He felt a sense of relief as well. He was thankful that he didn't get blinded by greed. Otherwise, the Taia Clan would have ceased to exist by now.

Xin Yu then swept her gaze across the confused and disoriented Xuan Clan members in the distance. "What should we do with them?"

Taia Tian glanced at Xin Yu and then smiled. "They have all contributed to our Asura civilization. Naturally, they should be spared."

Taia Tlan couldn't kill them all, as it would be a blatant disregard for the future. Xuan Ce was already dead, which meant the Xuan Clan had just lost its leader. In other words, it would be easy for him to assimilate the Xuan Clan.

Hearing Taia Tian's words, Xin Yu nodded slightly. She then looked toward the distant sky with a complex gaze. She knew that Ye Guan's backers were extraordinary, but she hadn't expected them to be so terrifying.

If the Supreme Scholar Academy and the Taia Clan had made a different choice, the Asura Civilization would have been destroyed by the Unfettered Swordsman.

Just then, Xin Yu sensed something and turned around.

A young woman in dark robes stood on her right not too far away from her.

She was none other than Asura Han!

Noticing Xin Yu’s gaze, Asura Han glanced at Xin Yu before turning around to leave.

“Wait!” Xin Yu called out.

Asura Han stopped.

Swoosh!

Xin Yu appeared before Asura Han.

Xin Yu knew a bit about the young woman in front of her, as she was one of the most talented members of the Asura Clan's younger generation.

Due to her background, however, her relationship with the Asura Clan wasn't exactly that great.

Xin Yu asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

Asura Han calmly replied, “I plan to travel.”

“Why not stay in the Asura Civilization?”

Asura Han shook her head. “I want to travel.”

A complex expression flashed in Xin Yu’s eyes as she replied, “Very well, but remember, the doors of the Asura Civilization will always be open to you.”

Asura Han nodded slightly and turned around to leave. After taking just a few steps, she stopped and looked back at Xin Yu, saying, “Supreme Scholar, I have just one piece of advice. If the Asura Civilization wants to go even further beyond, it needs to find a backing.”

Xin Yu frowned. “Find a backing?”

Asura Han nodded slightly and explained, “To some, the Asura civilization is like an ant on the ground. If the Asura Civilization could somehow land on a big shot's shoe and follow them for a while, it'd be worth more than a hundred billion years of hard work. You know how some people work their entire lives but still can't compare to those with backers, right? It's exactly like that."

With that, Asura Han turned around and walked away. Amidst Xin Yu's complex gaze, Asura Han disappeared into the distance.
