I Have A Sword

A bloodline backlash?

A heavy silence enveloped the crowd.

They also believed that there was no way Ye Guan's bloodline could last forever. There had to be a limit, and Ye Guan would inevitably suffer a backlash. The blue-robed man was right; the backlash would occur in thirty minutes at most.

The middle-aged man's expression darkened, and his gaze displayed hesitation at the idea. After all, they had been fighting Ye Guan for a few hours now.

"He's already so strong despite his young age," the blue-robed man added, "If we don't kill him today, we'll likely be less than mere ants against him in the future."

The Time Reversers were stupefied. The blue-robed man was right!

It looked like Ye Guan was only twenty years of age.

What would happen if he had enough time to grow?

The middle-aged man's eyes filled with killing intent, and he no longer hesitated.

"Wear him down!" the middle-aged man shouted. He knew it would be foolish to fight Ye Guan head-on at this point. The best plan was to exhaust Ye Guan until his bloodline ran out of juice. Moreover, the Time Reversers had already called for reinforcements, and those reinforcements would soon arrive.

They no longer cared about their reputation; they just wanted to kill Ye Guan.

The crowd of Time Reversers charged at Ye Guan once more.

However, they adopted a hit-and-run tactic. Ye Guan would charge toward them, but they would flee, opting for defense and retreat. Ye Guan felt helpless, but every time he attacked, someone would end up dying. free novelkiss.com

Ye Guan couldn't really do anything against these supreme elites. He couldn't kill them if they wanted to escape. The battle continued, and both sides started to get exhausted.

Ye Guan wielded Xuanyuan; it had been dyed crimson under the influence of the Mad Demon Bloodline.

A surge of bloodline power burst out of Ye Guan, and Ye Guan's eyes reflected a crimson sea of blood. Moments later, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light that flew toward the nearest Time Reversers.

The Time Reversers froze, and they hastily took on a defensive stance.

A resonant hum echoed as Ye Guan arrived in front of the Time Reversers.

The middle-aged man shouted, "Defend!"

In response, a golden shield materialized in front of the Time Reversers.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion rocked the battlefield. The golden shield cracked, but it managed to withstand Ye Guan's attack. Unfortunately, Ye Guan's second attack was already flying toward it before the Time Reversers could repair and stabilize it.

Crackle!

A crisp noise echoed, and the golden shield shattered into innumerable energy fragments that scattered in every direction. The spacetime in the Time River exploded into pieces as well.

The Time Reversers retreated kilometers away and made sure there was enough space between them and Ye Guan. After all, their objective was to drag out the battle and wear Ye Guan down.

They had no plans of sacrificing themselves.

They simply wanted to survive until Ye Guan was utterly exhausted. Hence, none of them wanted to confront Ye Guan. After all, sacrificing oneself to pave the way for another was not a choice they were willing to make.

Ye Guan didn't relent. Once again, he charged toward the Time Reversers. Each attack that he unleashed was more powerful than the last, but they were to no avail.

The stalemate continued, and an hour later, the Time Reversers were still retreating.

They revealed grim expressions, as there were no signs of backlash.

On the contrary, Ye Guan had grown terrifyingly stronger than an hour ago. In addition, Ye Guan's sword intent was emitting an ominous aura that made each and every one of them feel fearful of it.

The middle-aged man stared fixedly at Ye Guan with a gloomy expression. He had a feeling that Ye Guan would make a breakthrough in his Sword Dao at this rate.

Without Ao Qianqian's support, Ye Guan was just a Great Time Sovereign.

Despite that, he was already extremely powerful. If he were to make a cultivation base and sword cultivation base breakthrough at the same time...

The middle-aged man dared not dwell on such thoughts. He turned to the endless Time River behind him and frowned, questioning why the reinforcements had yet to arrive.

Meanwhile, Ye Guan came to a halt in the distance.

The middle-aged man and his companions were momentarily puzzled. Ye Guan had been relentlessly attacking like a madman, showing no signs of fatigue.

The Time Reversers were perplexed, but they didn't dare to let their guard down.

Ye Guan stood with his sword in the distance, and he was both silent and unmoving.

Soon, the surging crimson aura about him converged into one point, creating ripples in the nearby spacetime. Ye Guan closed his eyes slowly; his mind was empty of any rational thoughts, but he still had his instincts, even though all he could think of at the moment was slaughtering everyone before him.

Ye Guan's instinct was born from the many life-and-death battles he had to go through, and it told him that the battle was dragging on. His instinct told him that he had to do something else to change the status quo.

The middle-aged man and the other Time Reversers frowned and grew uneasy.

They weren't particularly afraid of a lunatic, and they could just wear Ye Guan down as well. Actually, they were wondering whether Ye Guan had truly lost his sanity or if he could still think strategically.

Just then, Ye Guan opened his eyes. Moments later, he reappeared before the middle-aged man and the Time Reversers. free(w)ebnovel(.)com

The middle-aged man's expression changed abruptly. "Defend!"

The Time Reversers jumped into action, and their profound energy a colossal shield.

Ye Guan slashed out with his sword, performing Heavenrend once more.

Unfortunately, Ye Guan's sword move contained four Heavenrends with a thousand stacks each, which meant Ye Guan had just executed a sword move containing the compressed power of four thousand Heavenrends.

The middle-aged man's pupils constricted, and his heart filled with dread. Ye Guan's fatal sword move had gotten several times stronger than before for some reason.

This was an unstoppable sword move! Everyone screamed to themselves.

However, the sword was merciless, and it slashed toward the colossal shield.

A deafening explosion echoed, and a dazzling light blinded everyone.

The colossal shield was obliterated, and the sword move also instantly killed every Time Reverser unfortunate enough to be standing at the helm.

The surviving Time Reversers were stupefied.

Ye Guan's sword had become even more powerful.

At this rate, they would reach their limits before Ye Guan’s bloodline turned on him.

Ye Guan wasn't done just yet, and he chased after the Time Reversers as a streak of sword light.

The faces of the Time Reversers changed drastically. Some were about to retreat when the blue-robed man earlier spoke once more, "He's about to suffer from a bloodline backlash!"

Everyone glared at the blue-robed man. Damn it, was this guy on Ye Guan's side?

Although disgruntled, they had no time to deal with the blue-robed man, as Ye Guan had already arrived.

The middle-aged man roared, "Defend!"

A colossal shield was conjured once more. However, the colossal shield collapsed like a piece of paper, and a few Time Reversers were obliterated in the process as well. Astonishingly, Ye Guan's sword move just now was even stronger than the previous one!

An old man next to the middle-aged man spoke solemnly, "He has two divine artifacts. Those artifacts are healing him and providing him with spiritual energy. At this rate, he's going to make a breakthrough.

"Once he makes a breakthrough, we..."

The old man trailed off, but the implied message was unmistakable.

They would all die once Ye Guan had made a breakthrough.

"We have to kill him today, or the consequences will be disastrous to us in the future," the blue-robed man said.

The Time Reversers fell silent, feeling conflicted.

Just then, the middle-aged man sensed something. He looked up, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes as he exclaimed, "Our reinforcements will soon be here!"

The old man beside him hastily asked, "How soon?"

The middle-aged man replied, "They'll be here in thirty minutes!"

The crowd collectively sighed in relief. They could definitely last at most thirty minutes, as any longer would become challenging. In addition, they really didn't want to risk their lives in a direct confrontation with Ye Guan.

"Wait!" the old man exclaimed, "How about Ye Guan? Does he have any reinforcements?"

The middle-aged man frowned and pondered before replying, "That's impossible. Our people have intercepted the forces from the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe. As for the Great Daoist Brush Master, an elite from the Diyi Clan is following him in the shadows.”

The middle-aged man glances at Ye Guan in the distance. "He has no other reinforcements."

Swoosh!

Ye Guan suddenly vanished just then, and a crimson sword light swept toward the Time Reversers.

"Hold him back!" the middle-aged man roared, and they worked together once again.

Boom!

A cacophony of explosions echoed, and the Time Reversers still couldn't withstand Ye Guan's attacks. However, their goal was to buy time; they just had to buy time, and they would win against Ye Guan.

Half an hour later...

Rumble!

A powerful aura swept across the Time River, and the Time Reversers sighed in relief upon sensing that massive clump of aura.

Their reinforcements were here!

Hum!

A resonant sword hum echoed just then, and a spacetime rift was torn open not too far away from Ye Guan.

Soon, a woman walked out slowly from the spacetime rift.

"Damn it..." Little Pagoda muttered and quivered upon seeing the woman. Then, he sounded terrified as he exclaimed, "It's her!"
