BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104: Martial God Spear
He was wearing a simple and clean white-colored robe. His steps were unhurried, and his expression was indifferent as he slowly made his way over to the tournament square under the gazes of millions of people.
Ye Guan was the strongest swordsman as well as the youngest Great Sword Immortal throughout the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
There were only a few swordsmen in the world, so they were shrouded in a veil of mystery. A Great Sword Immortal was rare, even in the Guanxuan Universe, but a Great Sword Immortal actually appeared on the Zhongtu Divine Continent!
Quite a few onlookers cheered upon seeing Ye Guan. They didn’t care about his enmity with the An Clan. The most important fact to them was the fact that he was a handsome Great Sword Immortal.
It was a pity that his family background was too inferior. The end of a cultivator’s journey was often decided by their family background. Therefore, most of the onlookers were in favor of An Daoxin and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan.
It wasn’t strange at all. An Daoxin and her alliance members had access to an unlimited amount of resources thanks to their family background, after all.
An Ya’s gaze turned cold upon seeing Ye Guan. Ye Guan was the reason Ye Guanzhi had humiliated the An Clan. It was the An Clan’s first time suffering such a humiliation over the past million years.
The An Clan couldn’t do anything to Ye Guanzhi, but they could definitely get rid of Ye Guan. In other words, they were bullying Ye Guan because the latter had no backer to rely on.
Gu Chaoyuan’s gaze was complicated as he looked down at Ye Guan from Mount Guanxuan. He’s already a Great Sword Immortal despite his young age! How long has it been since a Great Sword Immortal appeared on Zhongtu Divine Continent?
He felt sad that such a talented young man would die today, but he couldn’t really do anything. The Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy couldn’t protect Ye Guan against the An Clan and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan.
What if they were to ask for the Main Guanxuan Academy’s intervention? The great clans in the Main Guanxuan Academy had put even Ye Guanzhi in her place, not to mention a mere Guanxuan Academy branch on the Zhongtu Divine Continent.
It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that speaking up for Ye Guan was like signing one’s own death warrant.
What about the Guanxuan Law? It wasn’t that the Guanxuan Law held no weight at all. However, the Guanxuan Law could only be used by those who were strong enough to wield it, just like Ye Guanzhi.
A weak cultivator wielding the Guanxuan Law would attract disaster to themselves.
This was the harsh reality. Gu Chaoyuan sighed.
He stared at Ye Guan and muttered, “A Great Sword Immortal will perish today.”
Ye Guan walked in front of An Daoxin and her alliance members.
The young man from the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Clan stared playfully at Ye Guan.
Dongli Mo smiled playfully at Ye Guan. He was definitely on An Daoxin’s side. He was from the six great clans, so he would naturally stand on the side of those from the same pedigree as him.
An Daoxin stared at Ye Guan and asked mockingly, “Just you?”
“Are you going to attack me together or one by one?” asked Ye Guan.
His words silenced the onlookers. Are they going to start now?
The tournament square was surrounded by an array that allowed the onlookers to hear the contestants’ words as if they were standing next to the onlookers.
An Daoxin chuckled and said, “You choose!”
Ye Guan nodded slightly and confidently replied, “Attack me together!”
Boom!
A terrifying sword force exploded from Ye Guan, sending An Daoxin and her alliance members flying at least thirty meters away.
The onlookers were shocked, but they quickly got excited upon realizing that they would witness a Great Sword Immortal’s sword force. The fight would also be a one-versus-three. It would definitely be exhilarating.
The onlookers didn’t care whether the match was unfair or fair; the only thing that mattered to them was whether it would be an exciting match or not.
An Daoxin and her alliance members’ faces turned ugly. They didn’t expect that Ye Guan’s sword force would be so terrifying.
They got careless, and they ended up paying for it.
A ferocious glint flashed in An Daoxin’s eyes.
Rumble!
However, a loud rumbling interrupted An Daoxin before she could make her move.
The onlookers looked up and saw a lightning bolt flying toward the tournament square.
Crackle!
The lightning bolt tore through everything that resisted it as it made its way over to the tournament square.
Boom!
The lightning bolt crashed behind Ye Guan, kicking up a cloud of dust. The dust soon settled, revealing a black-robed young man. An eye-catching symbol resembling a thunderbolt was carved on the young man’s glabella.
The black-robed young man was none other than Ye Qing!
Ye Qing stood next to Ye Guan and said, “Brother Ye Guan, count me in!”
“You…” Ye Guan muttered in astonishment.
Ye Qing wordlessly smiled in response.
Ye Guan pondered it briefly before smiling. “All right!”
An Daoxin frowned upon seeing Ye Qing.
Swoosh!
However, it seemed that the surprise wasn’t over just yet as a ray of silver light crashed-landed at the tournament square. The dust settled and revealed a silver-haired woman holding a throwing dagger.
The onlookers’ eyes landed on her.
“Ji Xuan!” someone shouted. It seemed that Ji Xuan was still quite popular because an onlooker actually recognized her.
Ji Xuan stood next to Ye Guan and said, “Count me in, too.”
Ye Guan shook his head. He smiled helplessly and said, “You don’t have to do this.”
“Are you saying that I’m not strong enough to be here?” Ji Xuan glared at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan hurriedly shook his head and explained, “No, I didn’t mean it like that. I just don’t want to get you in trouble.”
Ji Xuan chuckled and said, “What do you mean, get me in trouble! Aren’t we friends?”
Friends! Ye Guan fell silent.
Ji Xuan added, “Anyway, don’t worry about it. I came here of my own volition, and I know the consequences of my actions. I’m not even scared of getting in trouble, so why are you getting scared in my stead?”
Ye Guan was silent for quite a while before he smiled.
“All right!” he said.
He then turned to An Daoxin and boisterously laughed before saying, “I thought the An Clan wanted to kill me? What are you doing standing there, then? The Ye Guan you’ve been looking for is here. Are you not going to come and kill me?”
“I don’t need anyone’s help!” An Daoxin took a step forward and glared at Ye Guan. “I can kill you by myself!”
Boom!
A terrifying aura burst out of her as lightning arcs abruptly inundated the tournament square. The powerful lightning bolts emerged from the lightning arcs, and they carried with them an extremely powerful yet obscure power.
“Law Tribulation Realm!” someone exclaimed in shock.
She’s so young, but she’s already a Law Tribulation Realm cultivator?
The onlookers were stupefied. Such a young Law Tribulation Realm cultivator was extremely rare even throughout the Guanxuan Universe, not to mention throughout the entire Zhongtu Divine Continent.
An Daoxin glared at Ye Guan and roared, “Come!”
“As you wish!” Ye Guan nodded before vanishing.
He reappeared in front of An Daoxin and slashed out.
The slash was too fast for anyone to react. The onlookers only saw Ye Guan’s sword landing on An Daoxin’s neck, rendering them silent.
At a closer look, however, Ye Guan’s sword didn’t manage to land on An Daoxin’s neck. A thin layer of golden light stopped Ye Guan’s sword from chopping off An Daoxin’s head.
“A Divine-grade armor!”
Gu Chaoyuan’s eyes narrowed. The An Clan was indeed a powerful clan. Gu Chaoyuan didn’t expect to see a Divine-grade armor here. He examined the armor and realized that it was made to counter Ye Guan’s extreme speed.
Ye Guan retreated the moment his attack failed.
Rumble!
A lightning bolt chased after him.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed. His figure blurred as he avoided the lightning bolt before reappearing behind An Daoxin like a ghost. However, it seemed that An Daoxin had seen through him because she didn’t hesitate to send a punch behind her.
Boom!
The lightning arcs in the air erupted to supplement An Daoxin’s punch, creating what seemed like a cataclysmic event.
Ye Guan retreated frantically, but he was unscathed.
It seemed that he had retreated on his own accord.
Ye Guan stared in astonishment at An Daoxin.
An Daoxin’s speed was lackluster, but her movements were without waste and well-calculated, which made Ye Guan feel like An Daoxin could see through all his thoughts and movements.
An Daoxin grinned maliciously and asked, “Shocked? It seems that you have no idea of what I’m doing here. Let me enlighten you, then. I’m fighting you using my Stream of Consciousness!”
Stream of Consciousness?
Ye Guan fell silent. It was his first time hearing such a term.
“From the look on your face, it’s clear that you’ve never heard of it before, but what did I expect? How can someone like you stumble upon such a concept? I’ve been cultivating in the Main Guanxuan Academy since I was a child, and I’ve been under the tutelage of the best tutors that the Guanxuan Academy can offer.
”What about you?” An Daoxin chuckled and added, “I’ve heard that your master’s name is Pagoda? It seems that your Master Pagoda is a garbage tutor based on how he hasn’t told you about fighting with one’s Stream of Consciousness.”
Ye Guan didn’t know what to say.
“Fuck!” Little Pagoda cursed in the tiny pagoda. “What the fuck?! Does the An Clan really think that they’ve become hotshots, huh?! Why is she attacking me? Did I provoke her or something?”
The mysterious voice was speechless.
An Daoxin took a step forward and transformed into a lightning bolt.
Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed before vanishing into thin air.
An Daoxin abruptly turned around and sent a punch behind her. Ye Guan reappeared just in time for her punch, but An Daoxin’s pupils constricted.
Ye Guan wasn’t holding his sword.
An Daoxin turned around to defend herself, but it was already too late.
Boom!
An Daoxin’s Divine-grade armor took the brunt of the attack, allowing her to retreat.
Gu Chaoyuan exclaimed, “Human Sword Separation! It perfectly counters An Daoxin’s fighting style!”
A few people saw Ye Guan throwing his sword behind him before he disappeared.
He reappeared behind An Daoxin, prompting the latter to turn around and punch him. However, Ye Guan had used his Royal Sword Art to control his sword from afar and stab An Daoxin from the back.
Unfortunately, An Daoxin’s Divine-grade armor had taken the brunt of the attack, allowing her to survive. The powerful attack managed to send her flying, but she immediately charged toward Ye Guan upon landing on the ground.
An Daoxin concealed the shock in her heart by sending a flurry of punches empowered by her lightning arcs.
However, Ye Guan chose to retreat rather than face her punches.
An Daoxin was stunned.
She whipped around and saw a ray of sword light flying toward her neck.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed throughout the tournament square. An Daoxin was blown backward from the attack, and cracks appeared on the golden light that had been protecting her neck all this while.
Ye Guan appeared in front of An Daoxin.
An Daoxin’s pupils constricted, but she wouldn’t be fooled anymore. She sent a punch behind her, expecting to see a sword flying toward her neck.
An Daoxin’s fist carried multiple lightning arcs, and there was a loud explosion as it shattered the space directly in front of it.
Boom!
However, her punch struck nothing but air and the space in front of her.
Ye Guan’s sword was missing!
An Daoxin was horrified. She turned around in a hurry, but Ye Guan’s sword was already on her neck.
Boom!
An Daoxin was sent flying once more, and a ray of sword light chased after her before she could land.
Slice!
The sword light slashed her neck.
Crack!
An Daoxin’s flight continued, but her Divine-grade armor couldn’t take it anymore.
However, Ye Guan wasn’t going to give her any time to react.
An Daoxin stared at the incoming sword light with fear in her eyes. She could see it—she could see Death staring her in the face.
An Daoxin clenched her fists and decided to throw all caution to the wind.
Swoosh!
A flaming spear shot out of her and pierced the clouds.
Boom!
The space around An Daoxin imploded, and the resulting shockwave disintegrated Ye Guan’s sword. The flaming spear in the sky exuded an aura that was so horrifying
that it made the space implode, which annihilated a chunk of the tournament square.
Gu Chaoyuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. His voice was trembling as he said, “T-the aura of a Martial Goddess! And that spear… the Martial Goddesses of the An Clan often wielded that spear…”
The Martial God Spear had appeared!
