I Have A Sword

Chapter 48: Next Life!

Why is he unaffected? The spectators were frozen, and their eyes were filled with disbelief. Zhao Su’s eyes were also filled with astonishment as she stared at Ye Guan.

How could he remain fine in front of a dragon’s wrath?

However, An Mu was more shocked than anyone else.

“You… How can this be…” he stammered.

Ye Guan didn’t know what to say. He truly had no idea why he was unaffected, but he could see that the True Dragon’s Bloodline couldn’t suppress him.

“Master Pagoda, what’s going on? Why am I unaffected?” he asked Master Pagoda.

Little Pagoda’s reply came a bit late, “Perhaps it’s a fake dragon.”

Ye Guan’s expression froze. A fake dragon?

He looked up at the illusory golden dragon. Its domineering aura was suppressing everyone.

The participants couldn’t move under its presence, so it didn’t seem fake. However, it was an undeniable fact that the True Dragon’s domineering aura couldn’t suppress him, which could only mean one thing.

Master Pagoda must be hiding something from me…

Roaaar!

Just then, An Mu roared, and the illusory golden dragon roared as well.

There was a burst of energy as the terrifying aura of a True Dragon swept across the wasteland. The weaker spectators felt awful as they suffered internal injuries, and some of them even started bleeding from their noses. The others saw that, and they started running away as far as they could from where An Mu was located.

No one dared to remain close to the one with a True Dragon Bloodline.

Ye Guan was sure that An Mu had let out a stronger roar than earlier, so why was it that he was still completely fine? He remained standing as the nearby participants ran away from them.

Ye Guan realized that there was something wrong. How am I completely fine?

An Mu glared at Ye Guan, and he knew that he was in trouble. It was absurd that Ye Guan was immune to the True Dragon’s aura. A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still couldn’t find any explanation.

Ye Guan glanced at An Mu, and he abruptly vanished.

An Mu's expression stiffened. He was about to step back, but Ye Guan’s dagger had already slashed his neck.

Clang!

Sparks flew from the friction, but An Mu was uninjured.

However, Ye Guan wasn’t done yet.

An ear-splitting noise pierced An Mu’s ears as Ye Guan repeatedly slashed and stabbed An Mu in a masterful display of swordsmanship.

An Mu could still counterattack, but he couldn’t hit Ye Guan at all. An Mu felt like he was suffocating in the face of Ye Guan’s relentless assault.

The spectators were dumbfounded. Ye Guan’s speed was divine, but An Mu’s defense was even more frightening than Ye Guan’s speed.

Moments later, Ye Guan stopped attacking to look down at the dagger in his hand.

The dagger had shattered, but An Mu was still unscathed. The latter’s defense was truly abnormal.

An Mu widened the distance between them and said, “A True Dragon is protecting me. You will not be able to kill me even if you are two cultivation realms above me.”

Ye Guan wordlessly stared at An Mu.

Just then, An Mu raised his right hand and clenched it tightly. The illusory golden dragon illusion raised its claws high into the sky and slammed them down on the ground.

The attack was powerful and destructive, causing the earth to tremble violently.

Ye Guan’s eyes narrowed, and he trembled before retreating.

Boom!contemporary romance

The ground was sundered, and a massive crater was formed in the ground where he was standing earlier.

A powerful shockwave also swept across the wasteland.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan reappeared in front of An Mu, and he abruptly thrust his dagger at An Mu’s eyes. Sparks flew as a result of the attack, but An Mu remained unscathed.

Ye Guan immediately decided to retreat, but An Mu’s eyes shot wide open.

A dazzling golden beam of light shot from his eyes and made a beeline for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan’s retreat was swift, but he was a beat too late.

Ye Guan took the brunt of the attack and was sent flying a few meters away. Once he recovered, he looked down at his right hand and saw that An Mu’s attack had charred it black.

Nalan Jia’s eyebrows knitted in worry at the sight.

Ye Guan examined An Mu and saw that there was a golden sheen on the latter’s skin. A True Dragon was indeed protecting him, and it was an unprecedented sight for everyone, including Ye Guan.

An Mu seemed invincible under the protection of a True Dragon.

Yuan Gu stared at Ye Guan and remarked, “He’s strong, but the battle is over.”

A True Dragon’s protection was absolute. Not to mention Ye Guan, even Yuan Gu wasn’t confident that he could kill An Mu despite his powerful cultivation base.

An Mu was indeed worthy of being chosen by Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy.

An Mu stared into Ye Guan’s eyes and said, “You managed to force me to use my trump card. I hate to admit this, but you are indeed—”

Shrieeek!

The shrill cry of a sword echoed throughout the wasteland, and the spectators were startled to find a sword sticking out of An Mu’s neck.

An Mu was sent flying by the attack.

All eyes landed on Ye Guan, and the spectators were stunned upon realizing that the sword had come from Ye Guan.

A swordsman! Yuan Gu stood up. He was about to make a move just now, but Zhao Su stopped him in time.

Zhao Su had to stop Yuan Gu from interfering because the reputation of the Guanxuan Academy would plummet if an outsider were to intervene in the ongoing battle. All three hundred and sixty states were watching the battle, after all.

Yuan Gu came back to his senses and relaxed his clenched fists. He stared intently at the ongoing battle.

Ye Guan strolled toward An Mu, and a flying sword would cut An Mu with every step he took toward the latter.

The majority of the spectators could only see flashes of light. They couldn’t actually track Ye Guan’s flying swords because they were too fast for their eyes.

An Mu staggered backward from the relentless attack, but the golden hue on his skin suddenly erupted into flames.

Boom!

Ye Guan’s flying swords were incinerated, and the illusory golden dragon above An Mu started to become tangible.

The True Dragon’s true body was about to manifest.

An Mu survived Ye Guan’s relentless attacks because of the illusory golden dragon’s protection. The spectators stared in awe as An Mu’s True Dragon started to manifest, while a few spectators stared solemnly at the True Dragon.

A True Dragon was a fearsome creature even in Zhongtu Divine Continent. The True Dragon stared contemptuously at Ye Guan, and it seemed to be looking at Ye Guan as if he were an ant.

Ye Guan suddenly turned toward the audience stand. He pointed at the True Dragon and asked, “Am I fighting that or An Mu?”

The spectators were silenced by his words.

It was indeed absurd to face the true body of a True Dragon.

However, An Mu’s thoughts were different as he explained, “I have signed a contract with it, and our lives are shared. It can be considered my companion. If you have a companion, you can summon it as well.”

Zhao Su’s expression was complicated, but she had no choice but to speak up for An Mu. “He’s right! The third round is a no-holds-barred round. You may use whatever means necessary to secure your victory.”

Zhao Su sounded like she was hesitating as she added, “The battle will end once you admit defeat.”

She honestly treasured Ye Guan as a talent.

An Mu would definitely be taken away by Zhongtu Divine Continent’s Guanxuan Academy, but the Upper Realm’s Guanxuan Academy wouldn’t definitely lose out if Ye Guan stayed with them.

However, Ye Guan remained silent, and his reaction troubled Zhao Su. She could see that Ye Guan wasn’t willing to give up—she could see it in his eyes.

What a shame… Zhao Su sighed to herself.

Roaaar!

The True Dragon roared at Ye Guan.

Boom!

The space trembled under the sheer force of the roar, and the earth was ravaged once more. Ye Guan looked up at the True Dragon and clenched his right fist.

Just then, a hand wrapped around him from behind. Nalan Jia smiled sweetly at him and said, “I’m with you.”

She could tell that Ye Guan didn’t want to admit defeat, so she decided to fight with him. She was also willing to live and die together with him

Ye Guan smiled as well before turning to look at the True Dragon with a grim expression. The dragon swooped toward him, and its domineering aura swept across the wasteland.

It felt as if even the earth itself was shivering in fright.

The True Dragon’s attack was strong enough to kill Ye Guan and Nalan Jia.

However, Nalan Jia remained steadfast, and she even glared at it. She was not the least afraid of it.

Ye Guan stomped, and a dazzling sword light illuminated the skies.

Ye Guan had pulled out the Path Sword, and he was about to execute the Instant Death Strike with it.

Buzz!

The Path Sword let out a resonant hum as it flew toward the True Dragon. The spectators watched in horror as the sword light pierced the True Dragon’s head.

Ye Guan abruptly vanished and reappeared above the True Dragon. He lifted his sword well above his head and slashed down.

“Ah!” The shrill cry of the True Dragon contained a mixture of pain and fury. A large gash appeared on its head and blood rained down like a downpour.

The spectators and An Mu were in disbelief.

How is it possible that he managed to injure a True Dragon? He pierced the true body of a True Dragon! An Mu reeled in disbelief, and he stared blankly at the plummeting True Dragon.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan wasn’t done just yet. He raised his sword once more and slashed down. He didn’t dare to hold back against a True Dragon. He had to beat it up until it lost the will to fight.

The spectators’ eyes popped out of their sockets, and their jaws fell to the floor because they immediately realized what Ye Guan wanted to do—he wanted to kill the True Dragon!

Just then, the True Dragon let out a pitiful wail as if it was summoning something.

Crackle!

A rift in space opened behind Ye Guan, and a middle-aged man emerged from it.

“Look out!” Nalan Jia shouted anxiously.

Ye Guan’s heart jumped in fright.

He turned around to face the ambush, but Nalan Jia was standing in front of him with her arms wide open.

Boom!

A destructive wave of energy sent both Ye Guan and Nalan Jia flying.

The pair crashed to the ground.

Ye Guan hurriedly looked up and saw that Nalan Jia was burning. She was turning into ashes in front of him.

Nalan Jia gazed longingly at Ye Guan.

The color drained from Ye Guan’s face as a tidal wave of emotions inundated him.

Nalan Jia desperately stretched her arm toward him, but her arm was also disintegrating into ashes.

“It seems that I can only marry you in my next life,” she muttered weakly.
