Chapter 694: Wait a Bit Longer
Ruo Ming blinked at Ye Guan, silently acknowledging him. Their connection transcended words.
Erya glanced at Ruo Ming and said, "You\'re stronger than the last one."
Ye Guan nodded subtly. Both Sister Ruo and Shen Yu were at eighty percent divinity, but Ye Guan could feel that Ruo Ming was more powerful than Shen Yu.
It seems that experts, even in the same realm, vary in strength.
Ruo Ming turned to Erya and asked, "Care to fight?"
Erya nodded. "Sure."
With that, they vanished simultaneously.
Soon, explosions reverberated from the void.
In the shadows, Madam Chu frowned, muttering, "The Black Death Sovereign... has she decided to aid the God Clan?"
The white-robed young man was perplexed. "Isn\'t she bound to the Black Death Realm?"
"Perhaps she can\'t stray too far away from it. A mysterious force is keeping her bound, after all."
The white-robed young man glanced at Ye Guan and pointed out. "He must be in danger."
When Ruo Ming and Erya vanished, five formidable auras locked onto Ye Guan.
The next moment, the Northern Demon King materialized before Ye Guan, and he was accompanied by four Demon Generals.
The Northern Demon King stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "So we meet again. Surprised?"
Ye Guan stared quietly at the Northern Demon King.
"You\'ve truly caught us off guard. We—"
"Demon King," a Demon General interjected, "Do not give him any time."
The Northern Demon King nodded and got ready to make a move when a terrifying energy descended toward him. His expression distorted, and he looked up to see a little girl charging at him.
The little girl was obviously Erya. The Northern Demon King revealed an incredulous at the sight of her. The Black Death Sovereign was actually defeated so swiftly?
Boom!
Erya unleashed a powerful attack, sending the Northern Demon King and his Demon Generals flying away.
After coming to a halt, the Northern Demon King stared at Erya in disbelief. "You..."
Erya licked her hawthorn candy and frowned. "You\'re so weak. Why did you even bother coming here?"
The Northern Demon King. "..."
Meanwhile, Ruo Ming appeared before Ye Guan and stared at him. "I can\'t stay outside for too long. I have to go back now."
Ye Guan nodded. "Understood, Sister Ruo."
Sister Ruo?! Everyone present was dumbfounded. Wait, Ye Guan knows the Black Death Sovereign?
The Northern Demon King was utterly bewildered as well, and he realized the next moment that he had been bamboozled.
The members of the God Clan were dumbfounded as well.
Ignoring everyone\'s stunned gazes, Ruo Ming locked eyes with Ye Guan. "Once this ordeal is over, visit the Black Death Realm. I need to talk to you."
With that, Ruo Ming vanished without even waiting for Ye Guan\'s response.
Ye Guan was curious about why she wanted to meet him, but he didn\'t dwell on it.
He turned to the Northern Demon King and asked, "How about a one-on-one, just you and me?"
The Northern Demon King\'s power surpassed even Shen Yu\'s because he was a demonic beast.
Ye Guan wanted to challenge him to sharpen his sword technique.
The Northern Demon King stared back at Ye Guan. "Sure."
He couldn\'t refuse. If he were to refuse, he\'d severely damage his reputation.
Ye Guan glanced at the remaining elites of the Temple of the Gods. "Erya, destroy them."
Erya nodded and charged at them. The elites of the Temple of the Gods turned ashen upon seeing Erya flying toward them, and they scrambled to flee.
Soon, the battlefield was filled with their agonized screams.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan closed his eyes slowly.
The Northern Demon King\'s eyes narrowed at the sight. He knew that Ye Guan was about to execute his mysterious sword technique.
However, he remained unfazed. He wasn’t a human, so his defenses were high enough to withstand human swords.
Swoosh!
A rain of swords descended toward the Northern Demon King.
Ye Guan\'s eyes remained closed as he calmly attacked the Northern Demon King.
In response, the Northern Demon King clenched his fists, and a light golden hue burst out of him, shielding him.
The rain of swords inundated the Northern Demon King like a deluge, and the onlookers watched on with bated breaths.
Boom!
The rain of swords shattered as a surge of terrifying energy rushed out of the Northern Demon King.
Although cracks marred the golden light enveloping him, the Northern Demon King appeared unharmed.
The Northern Demon King\'s eyes narrowed into slits as he calmed the boiling blood inside of him. HBe regarded Ye Guan nonchalantly and mocked, "Is that all?"
Ye Guan stared wordlessly at the Northern Demon King.
Just as the Northern Demon King was about to speak, a sword silently appeared at his flank. He was just about to make a move when more swords appeared, rushing toward him.
Boom!
The Northern Demon King was blasted thousands of meters away.
The golden light enveloping him had shattered, and his fleshy body was torn apart.
In the shadows, Madam Chu\'s gaze seemed to pierce into Ye Guan as she muttered, "He held back in his first strike."
The white-robed young man sternly said, "Did he play the Northern Demon King for a fool?"
"He seems aware of the Northern Demon King\'s boundless arrogance. He knew that if his sword failed to inflict significant damage in the first clash, then the Northern Demon King would become arrogant and then complacent..." Madam Chu cast a meaningful gaze at Ye Guan before saying, "What a cunning young man."
She was genuinely astonished by Ye Guan\'s talent, strength, and wit, which were incredibly rare among his peers.
Madam Chu became even more convinced that Ye Guan\'s backers had to be extraordinary figures.
The Northern Demon King\'s fleshly body was marred with dozens of sword wounds. They were shallow, but they had torn apart his skin.
He raised his head and locked eyes with Ye Guan. A fierce glint was in his eyes as he glowered and said, "You\'re asking for death."
Swoosh!
The Northern Demon King vanished, charging at the distant Ye Guan.
At the same time, a sword descended toward his head. The sword carried with it a powerful aura that forced the Northern Demon King to come to a halt.
However, the Northern Demon King was clearly a fighter. Despite the suppression, he clenched his fist and swung it upward, delivering an uppercut at the oncoming sword.
Boom!
Ye Guan\'s sword was blasted away, but the Northern Demon King wasn\'t done yet. He roared and made a beeline for Ye Guan, unleashing a powerful demonic aura that swept through the battlefield like a tidal wave.
It was so powerful that it pushed Ye Guan back by hundreds of meters.
Witnessing the Northern Demon King\'s charge at him, Ye Guan\'s eyes narrowed, and a tinge of seriousness painted his eyes.
The Northern Demon King was stronger than Shen Yu, so Ye Guan couldn\'t afford to be careless.
He activated his two bloodlines, and his aura surged crazily in the blink of an eye.
After taking a stance with his sword, he thrust forward toward the oncoming Northern Demon King.
Boom!
A radiant sword light erupted at the tip of the sword, but Ye Guan was blasted away upon impact.
Meanwhile, the Northern Demon King didn\'t take even a single step away. To make matters worse, he charged at Ye Guan once again; he clearly had no intention of giving Ye Guan even enough time to breathe.
The Northern Demon King was enraged, and it was not strange at all. After all, he was a formidable demon king. Losing to Ye Guan today would be more painful than death to him.
Swoosh!
Several sword lights manifested around the Northern Demon King, who was in the middle of his charge. However, he ignored the sword lights and allowed them to wound him.
He knew well that conventional thinking was useless against Ye Guan. He\'d fall into Ye Guan\'s trap if he refrained from thinking out of the box; this was the reason he had chosen to be a bit reckless.
I\'ll keep my eyes on you! The Northern Demon King roared inwardly.
Ye Guan\'s swords were leaving wounds on the Northern Demon King\'s battered fleshly body, but they were superficial wounds at best.
Ye Guan was blasted away once again, and the exchange was so brutal that he would have died outright if it hadn\'t been for his incredible healing ability.
Madam Chu\'s eyes were on the Northern Demon King. "That demonic beast has some skills."
The white-robed young man nodded slightly. The Northern Demon King\'s strength was indeed formidable, but he believed that Ye Guan was stronger.
It was worth noting that Ye Guan was only an Imperial Sovereign.
Boom!
Ye Guan was sent flying once again, and his expression turned grim.
Indeed, demonic beasts were difficult to handle, and it was all because of their capacity to be a bit more reckless than human beings.
Strategies were often useless against them, as they had overwhelming strength capable of shattering any adversity as well as fleshly bodies capable of withstanding just about any powerful offense.
It seemed that any strategy was futile against the Northern Demon King, and it was not strange at all, as shattering his fleshly body was a massive undertaking.
All of a sudden, Ye Guan was reminded of the Qingxuan Sword\'s existence.
With the Qingxuan Sword in hand, killing the Northern Demon King would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken.
Swoosh!
A sword abruptly descended from the heavens, landing steadily in front of Ye Guan.
It seemed that the Qingxuan Sword had seen through his thoughts because it had decided to lend a hand to Ye Guan.
How did this sword get here? Ye Guan was stunned.
Ye Guan turned to look at Little White in the distance, but she blinked and waved her tiny paws, seemingly feigning ignorance.
Ye Guan looked away and stared quietly at the Qingxuan Sword.
After a few moments, Ye Guan smiled and grabbed the Qingxuan Sword before putting it away. Then, he stared at the distant Northern Demon King.
Boom!
A deafening boom echoed as he transformed into a streak of sword light that rushed toward the Northern Demon King.
Shockingly, he had decided to put away the Qingxuan Sword!
A man in white clothes observing the battle in the shadows smiled at the sight and remarked, "Now that was unexpected!"
The lady in a plain skirt beside him stared quietly at Ye Guan in the distance.
The man in white then said, "Qing\'er, we can leave now."
When he saw Ye Guan refraining from using the Qingxuan Sword, the man in white knew that the former had truly grown up.
And the man in white knew that it was time for him to leave...
However, the lady in a plain skirt looked up and said, "Let\'s wait a bit longer."
