Ye Guan turned his head and saw Nun Rake. In her left hand, she held the Divine Ruler Seal, and her figure radiated an aura filled with terrifying Divine Will. Ye Guan looked at her silently, saying nothing. Nun Rake suddenly waved her right hand to the side. Spacetime collapsed, and a spacetime tunnel unfurled, stretching out until it reached directly beneath Ye Guan's feet. Nun Rake said to him, "Go." Ye Guan remained silent. Nun Rake repeated, "Go." This time, Ye Guan did not hesitate. He rose into the air on his sword and disappeared into the depths of the spacetime tunnel. Jun You immediately rushed toward the tunnel to give chase, but in the next instant, a purple saber light slashed toward her, forcing her to retreat tens of thousands of feet. After coming to a halt, Jun You looked at Nun Rake. She narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing something. All those who had been chasing Ye Guan before were dead! They were killed by this woman! This woman had already been terrifyingly powerful, but with the Divine Ruler Seal in hand, she had become even stronger. Ordinary experts were no match for her anymore. Jun You ordered, "The rest of you, go after him." When her voice fell, she transformed into a long Time River and charged at Nun Rake. Endless time energy surged forward to engulf Nun Rake. Meanwhile, the experts of the East Desolates' Beast God Temple rushed after Ye Guan in the direction he had fled, but at that moment... A thunderous explosion erupted in the center of the battlefield. The next moment, countless strands of time energy shattered violently. Jun You was blasted back again and again. Immediately after, a ten-thousand-foot-long purple saber light slashed directly toward the group of East Desolates Beast God Temple experts, right in the path of their advance. That single strike forcibly severed their way forward. The group of experts came to a halt, turning to look at Nun Rake in the distance, shocked beyond words. Nun Rake held a lightning saber, staring at them coldly. Around her, arcs of terrifying purple lightning surged and crackled. Both sides fell into silence. Jun You and the Beast God Temple experts understood clearly that if they did not eliminate this woman, they wouldn't be able to get through. Jun You stared at Nun Rake and said coldly, "Kill her." As her words fell, she suddenly transformed into a time river and charged toward Nun Rake. At the same time, the Beast God Hall experts charged at her from all directions. Nun Rake's face remained expressionless. Suddenly, a terrifying saber light erupted from within her. Her body trembled slightly, and tens of thousands of saber lights swept through the battlefield, surging directly toward Jun You and the others. Inside the spacetime tunnel, Ye Guan soared forward on his sword. His right hand gripped the Qingxuan Sword tightly, and the sword intent and the Mad Demon Bloodline within him continued to surge. Due to the killing intent in his heart, his bloodline power was growing even stronger. Just then, Little Pagoda warned, "A powerful presence is approaching." Ye Guan remained silent. He had already sensed it long ago. An expert from the East Desolates! He looked up toward the end of the spacetime tunnel. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stopped. At the edge of his vision, a streak of fist light came hurtling straight toward him. Strangely, despite its immense power, the spacetime tunnel itself showed no signs of damage as it passed. Ye Guan didn't retreat. Instead, he charged forward, slashing his sword directly at the incoming force. The spacetime tunnel collapsed with a roar, and Ye Guan was cast into an unknown star field. A loud laugh suddenly echoed from the side, followed by a voice, "You've got some skill, I'll give you that. No wonder the Beast God Temple couldn't take you down right away!" Ye Guan turned his head and saw a man slowly approaching. The man was shirtless, bald, and massively built. His arms were thick like iron pillars, and his face radiated fierce, battle-hardened energy. He was a physique cultivator! Ye Guan looked at him calmly. The burly man burst into loud laughter once again, his voice as loud as thunder. The next moment, he leapt forward and charged straight at Ye Guan. With that charge, the entire starry sky around them shattered inch by inch. In the distance, Ye Guan narrowed his eyes. In a flash, he transformed into a beam of sword light and shot toward the burly man. A sharp, tearing sound echoed across the starry skies. The most unyielding physique cultivator clashing head-on with the sharpest swordsman! The moment their powers collided, both of them were forced to retreat rapidly. Ye Guan was blasted back nearly a thousand feet before he clenched his left hand, summoning countless strands of Order Sword Intent and Invincible Sword Intent that stabilised his retreating body. In the distance, the burly man came to a stop and looked down at his own fist. It had been completely split open, with blood pouring out nonstop. One sword strike was all it took to break his defense! The burly man looked up at Ye Guan and sneered, "You've really got some skill." With that, he raised both hands and clenched his fists tightly. "Dao Art, Heavenly Gang Force!" A powerful aura condensed around him—a qi shield formed from countless Dao techniques. He looked across the void at Ye Guan and said, "Come on, hit me!" Ye Guan charged forward, sword in hand, and slashed fiercely at him. The burly man's grin froze, as Ye Guan's sword strike had ripped open a massive gash in his supposedly invincible qi shield. The sword drove straight through and was aiming directly for his face. The burly man was horrified and hastily dodged to the side, but he was still a moment too slow. Ye Guan's sword slashed his shoulder, slicing straight through it. The burly man shifted sideways thousands of feet, but his left arm was left behind. He stared at Ye Guan with a fierce gaze. "Good sword!" In his heart, he was deeply shaken. He hadn't expected that this swordsman could so easily break through his qi shield. Ye Guan looked up at him, the Qingxuan Sword trembling slightly in his hand. His favourite opponents were exactly this kind, hard-headed and eager for brute force combat. With a flash of his figure, he turned into a beam of sword light once again and charged at the burly man. This time, the burly man had learned his lesson and chose not to meet the strike head-on. He clenched his right fist, bent his knees slightly, and with a loud roar, he swung his fist forward. A surge of pure, raw power burst from his fist and surged fiercely toward Ye Guan. The oppressive force was vast and crushing, as if it were going to grind the entire universe into dust. Just then, Ye Guan's sword arrived. The Qingxuan Sword was still unstoppable, tearing open a gash in the oppressive force with sheer sharpness, but at the same time, Ye Guan himself took the full brunt of the impact. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Sword light and fist force exploded at once, sending shockwaves rippling outwards. Both men were blasted back repeatedly. Ye Guan was sent flying several thousand feet before finally stopping. When he stopped, a metallic taste rose in his throat, and a stream of blood slowly spilled from his lips. In the distance, the burly man came to a stop as well. His right fist had cracked open, blood spurting from the wound... His expression darkened. He looked at Ye Guan and said, "No wonder the Divinity took an interest in you. You really are something. I respect that... If only you weren't using that sword, then I'd respect you even more." Ye Guan glanced at him and replied, "You look dumb, but I didn't think you'd actually be even dumber than you look." "Insolent!" The burly man flew into a rage, his voice thundering like rolling clouds. "Swordsman, tell me honestly. Without that sword, would you still be a match for me? Answer me!" Ye Guan said calmly, "When I fought you, I was already worn out from battle and far from my peak state. If you've got guts, how about this? We set a date for a rematch. I won't use the sword, and we'll fight fair. Do you dare to take me on?" "Of course I dare, I—" The burly man blurted out, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized that he was under orders to kill this man, not to set up duels. Ye Guan mocked, "What? Are you only good at taking advantage of the weak?" The burly man's face turned ugly. "Shut up, let me think for a moment." Ye Guan looked at him in silence. The burly man hesitated, clearly conflicted. According to orders, he was to kill this swordsman at any cost, but based on his own principles, taking advantage of someone who was already worn down felt disgusting. It wasn't honorable at all. It wasn't something a real man would do. Besides, he really wanted to defeat Ye Guan in a fair and open fight. On one hand, there were his orders, and on the other, there were his principles. Ye Guan said, "You're stalling for time, waiting for your reinforcements to arrive so you can all gang up on me, right?" "Bullshit!" the burly man roared. "Swordsman, don't use your petty heart to judge a noble man. I, Mang Bu, have never participated in a group ambush in my entire life!" Ye Guan said calmly, "But your reinforcements are about to arrive." Mang Bu's expression darkened. He paused, then said, "You'd really be willing to fight me fairly another time?" Mang Bu stared at him. "Fine. You can go." Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Ye Guan gave a slight nod and turned to leave. However, Mang Bu called out again, "Wait." Ye Guan looked back. "Changed your mind?" Mang Bu sneered, "Don't be ridiculous. A true man's word is unbreakable. What is there to regret? I just want you to take back what you said earlier. What do you mean I 'look dumb'? That's a personal insult to my dignity. Take it back." Ye Guan pretended to think for a moment, then nodded. "I take back what I said. You're not dumb." Only then was Mang Bu satisfied, and he coldly said, "Good, now go." Ye Guan rose on his sword and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky. About fifteen minutes after Ye Guan left, an old man appeared. He asked Mang Bu, "Where is Ye Guan?" Mang Bu replied, "I let him go." The old man immediately flew into a rage. "You're insane! You—" Mang Bu said calmly, "Don't be so hasty. I believe he's already been moved by my personal charisma and noble heart. Before long, he'll come looking for me for a one-on-one duel. "Then, I'll defeat him fair and square, spare his life, and win him over to the East Desolates' cause. Old Mo, you're always thinking about fighting and killing. Learn to use your brain. Do you understand what I'm saying?" The old man was utterly speechless.
