Ye Guan shook his head with a faint smile.
Instead of devouring the Supreme Law Heart, he left the tiny pagoda. There was still one more thing he needed—the Divine Heart of the Otherworld God.
Ye Guan looked around before soaring away on his sword and vanishing into the horizon.
About an hourter, he arrived in a strange region. The temperature in this region was shockingly low, and as he stepped into it, he felt as if he had entered an icy abyss.
Proceeding farther, he noticed a ck banner standing tall in the distance. Dark mists swirled around it, and a dark red heart was floating beneath the banner.
The Divine Heart of the Otherworld God!
Ye Guan disappeared into thin air.
When he reappeared, he was already beneath the banner. But suddenly, the space around him twisted violently. Terrifying and mysterious forces descended like towering mountains, pressing down on him.
Just then, a figure shot toward him from his right—it was Meng Zhao!Under the oppressive power of the mysterious forces, Ye Guan found himself unable to move. Just as he summoned his sword intent, Meng Zhao crashed into him.
<em>Bang!</em>
Ye Guan was sent flying away.
A dark void manifested behind him and eerie streams of what looked like blood rushed out of it, bing a that trapped him. With a will on his end, the Order Sword flew out, shing through the.
<em>Schwing!</em>
The sword light tore through the, but before Ye Guan could escape, a pir of mes descended from above, mming into him.
<em>Boom!</em>
Once again, Ye Guan was sent flying.
As he steadied himself, Meng Zhao appeared above him, wielding a massive ck saber. He had transformed into his original form, and he swung the weapon down at Ye Guan with devastating force.
<em>Crash!</em>
The collision shattered a burst of sword light, sending Ye Guan flying yet again.
Meng Zhao prepared to pursue, but a sword shot toward him out of nowhere.
Meng Zhao raised his saber to defend himself.
<em>ng!</em>
The impact forced Meng Zhao to retreat nearly a hundred meters. His expression shifted as he looked at Ye Guan, who had retreated a thousand meters away.
A ck seal hovered above Ye Guan''s head, and it was emanating mysterious ck beams that enveloped him.
Within the light, Ye Guan summoned his Order Sword.
<em>Boom!</em>
The glowing barrier before him cracked, but before he could shatter itpletely with another swing, the barrier broke. The fragments transformed into tiny runes that turned into a rope that wrapped around him.
Ye Guan unleashed his sword intent, only to find that the rope was resisting his Order Sword Intent.
<em>Swoosh!</em>
Meng Zhao appeared overhead, raising his massive saber for another attack.
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes and unleashed his Invincible Sword Intent alongside his Order Sword Intent.
<em>Rumble!</em>
The rope around him disintegrated.
Ye Guan soared into the air as a streak of sword light.
<em>Boom!</em>
Meng Zhao was sted away.
Just as Ye Guan prepared to follow up with another attack, he sensed danger and turned around sharply to find a ming needle speeding toward him.
Ye Guan raised his sword in defense.
<em>Bang!</em>
The impact drove him back nearly a thousand meters away. As he steadied himself, the ming needle vanished, and a fiery inferno erupted around him.
Ye Guan looked around but found no trace of the attacker.
<em>Swoosh!</em>
The mes surged and threatened to engulf him.
Ye Guan summoned both his sword intents, forming a protective barrier. Just then, an ancientmp slowly rose amidst the mes, and a ghostly blue me could be seen within themp.
As soon as Ye Guan observed it, themp quivered, unleashing a terrifying beam of blue mes that rushed toward the former.
Ye Guan hastily raised his sword to defend himself.
<em>Boom!</em>
The impact sent him flying ten thousand meters away. Blood spurted from his chest, and he panicked. The residual energy from the blue mes had pierced his Order Sword.
Had he even been a bit weaker, he would have been torn apart.
"Prepare to die!" Meng Zhao roared, charging at Ye Guan again with his massive saber.
Ye Guan met the attack head-on, mming into Meng Zhao with his sword.
<em>Bang!</em>
Meng Zhao was sent flying away, and a look of disbelief marred his face. <em>Am I really this weak?</em>
Ignoring Meng Zhao, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light. He swept through the area, unleashing his Order Sword in search of the hidden enemy.
Ye Guan''s face darkened when his search yielded no results.
The ancientmp quivered again, releasing another beam of blue fire. It flew toward him at lightning speed and appeared in front of him before he could even blink. This time, Ye Guan struck with unmatched force, his sword enhanced by both sword intents.
But to his shock, the blue mes ignored a huge chunk of his attack and struck him.
<em>Boom!</em>
Ye Guan was sted a few kilometers away. His fleshly body had cracked open, and Ye Guan shattered itpletely before reforming it with his sword intent.
ring at themp, Ye Guan realized that its power was extraordinary.
At that moment, the distant Meng Zhao suddenly raised his massive saber and charged toward Ye Guan again.
Ye Guan frowned and raised his hand, shing down with a single sword strike.
<em>Bang!</em>
The sword strike instantly forced Meng Zhao back three kilometers. @@novelbin@@
Aftering to a halt, Meng Zhao was utterly dumbfounded. He could hardly believe it—was he really this weak?
Ye Guan paid no attention to Meng Zhao. Instead, he closed his eyes slowly, and in an instant, his divine sense swept across everything within tens of kilometers of him.
He was searching for the hidden attacker, but even after a thorough search, his divine sense still couldn''t locate the enemy. Ye Guan frowned deeply.
Just then, the ancientmp in the distance trembled violently.
<em>Swoosh!</em>
Ye Guan disappeared from where he stood, and a streak of sword light shot straight toward the ancientmp. Just as it neared themp, themp erupted with a terrifying ghostly blue me.
<em>Bang!</em>
Ye Guan was sted backward once more.
He stabilized himself quickly, but he suddenly found himself in a mysterious, special spacetime. It seemed to be a bizarre prison with enormous pirs of lightning surrounding him.
The ancientmp reappeared in front of him, and its mes burned fiercely.
Ye Guan closed his eyes.
The Order Sword vibrated intensely as two sword intents rushed out of him like a tidal wave.
Just then, the ancientmp transformed into a ghostly blue pir of me that threatened to engulf Ye Guan.
Ye Guan''s eyes snapped open, and he thrust his sword forward.
A strike to decide life and death!
Ye Guan finally treated the hidden attacker as an equal.
The Order Sword''s strength surged drastically.
<em>Boom!</em>
A burst of sword light erupted from Ye Guan''s location, shattering the lightning pirs nearby. Waves of fire and sword light rippled outward like relentless tidal waves.
After what felt like an eternity, Ye Guan finally found himself outside.
Ye Guan stood quietly with his sword in hand as both sword intents swirled around him.
Ady d in a pale blue robe was standing not far away from him.
Thedy was none other than Zuo Xi, and she was holding an ancientmp in her left hand.
Zuo Xi stared calmly at Ye Guan.
<em>Swoosh!</em>
Meng Zhao suddenly appeared behind Ye Guan. He red at Ye Guan with his massive saber in hand.
Ye Guan nced at Zuo Xi and smiled. "Are you from the Divine Law Academy?"
Zuo Xi nodded. "Yes."
Ye Guan looked at themp in her hand. "What kind of divine artifact is that?"
"The Nanming Li Fire Lamp. It''s ranked second among the Ten Great Artifacts," Zuo Xi replied. Then, she asked, "Why are you not using that sword of yours?"
Ye Guan knew that she was referring to the Qingxuan Sword.
"Using that sword too often can be addictive, <em>hahaha,</em>" said Ye Guan with a chuckle. He was still cautious about relying too much on the Qingxuan Sword, as it was just too strong.
Using it excessively would surely foster dependence, which would affect his Sword Dao.
Reflecting on the recent battle, Ye Guan identified areas for improvement despite suffering several setbacks. It would have been impossible if he had relied on the Qingxuan Sword.
"Come out now!" Ye Guan eximed.
<em>"Haha!</em>"
A hundred meters to the right, a group of mysterious figures in ck robes appeared out of nowhere. There were over a dozen of them, and they were all d in ck robes with masks covering their faces.
Both Zuo Xi and Meng Zhao showed traces of fear in their eyes upon seeing the group.
Ye Guan''s face darkened. They were dangerous.
Noticing Zuo Xi''s wary demeanor, Ye Guan frowned.
The leader of the ck-robed figures stared at Ye Guan.
"Forget it; I surrender," said Ye Guan. He opened his palm, and the Supreme Law Heart flew toward Meng Zhao.
