I Have A Sword

Chapter 801: I Did It On Purpose

The scent of blood hung heavy in the air, and Ye Guan could smell the sharp, sinister tang in it. His Mad Demon Bloodline instinctively awakened as he got closer and closer to his destination.

A terrifying energy surged out of him, pushing the bloody scent back like mice before a cat.

Ye Guan looked into the distance and muttered, "Is this the doing of that blood-red coffin?"

Just then, the space in front of him cracked open, and Taia Nan stepped out.

With a grave expression, Taia Nan hurried up to Ye Guan and informed him. "Young Master Ye, something happened to the Xuan Clan."

"Is it because of the blood-red coffin?" Ye Guan asked.

Taia Nan nodded. "Yes."

Ye Guan was about to ask more, but Taia Nan quickly instructed, "Follow me."

With that, he took Ye Guan and disappeared into the horizon.

Soon, Taia Nan brought Ye Guan before a barrier. The powerful supreme elites of the Asura Civilization had already gathered before the barrier.

Supreme Scholar Xin Yu was there as well.

Seeing Ye Guan, Xin Yu nodded slightly and said, "You're here."

Ye Guan walked up to Xin Yu and looked at the other side of the barrier, where a steady stream of powerful evil energy was pouring in.

"What happened?" Ye Guan asked seriously.

Xin Yu was about to speak when a terrifying aura suddenly swept toward Ye Guan from the side.

Ye Guan frowned.

"How dare you!" Taia Nan roared. He jumped in front of Ye Guan and waved his sleeve.

Boom!

The powerful aura was vanquished.

Ye Guan turned and saw a fat old man glaring at him with undisguised killing intent and fury.

"Xuan Li, what are you doing?" Taia Nan shouted angrily.

The fat old man named Xuan Li pointed at Ye Guan and snarled, "What am I doing? If it weren't for him deliberately giving that blood-red coffin to our Xuan Clan, would we be in this situation?"

Ye Guan said calmly, "Fatty, you didn't get that blood-red coffin from me; you snatched it, didn't you?"

Xuan Li pointed at Ye Guan angrily and shouted, "A scheme! This is the result of your scheme! You purposely gave that blood-red coffin to our Xuan Clan to harm us. Don't try to argue, you—"

"Yep," Ye Guan replied, "I did it on purpose."

Xuan Li was stunned.

Ye Guan stared at Xuan Li and calmly reiterated, "I did it on purpose."

"You!" Xuan Li's three hundred pounds of flesh trembled with anger. He clenched his fists and was about to strike when Xin Yu roared, "Stand down!"

Xuan Li's face turned extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to disobey Xin Yu. He could only glare viciously at Ye Guan before stepping aside.

"What's up, Fatty?" Ye Guan smiled. "C'mere and hit me."

Everyone. "..."

Xuan Li almost exploded in fury. He couldn't bear it any longer and got ready to attack, but he came to an abrupt halt upon getting hit by Xin Yu's cold glare.

Xuan Li was terrified upon meeting Xin Yu's gaze, and he immediately broke out into a cold sweat. However, he calmed down quickly upon recalling the Xuan Clan's predicament.

They had to compromise and stop offending the Supreme Scholar. Otherwise, they would all end up dead.

Seeing Xuan Li calm down, Ye Guan glanced at him indifferently and then turned to look at the other side of the barrier. He asked, "Xin Yu, what happened?"

Xin Yu explained in a deep voice, "When Xuan Ce opened the blood coffin, he was immediately controlled by the blood corpse inside of it."

"He's possessed?"

"Not really." Xin Yu shook her head. "He's still alive, but the blood corpse has control over his body."

Ye Guan frowned. "Isn't Xuan Ce a Transcension Realm expert?"

“That's right."

Ye Guan's expression became solemn. "So the blood corpse is... a Path Creation Realm expert?"

"No, but the blood corpse can be considered a half-step Path Creation Realm expert," said Xin Yu in a deep voice.

Ye Guan was relieved. If it were at the Path Creation Realm, it would be outrageous.

After all, a civilization with a Path Creation Realm expert would definitely be considered a Tier Four Civilization.

And the Arcanist Civilization had nine blood-red coffins!

Nine Path Creation Realm experts?

The thought of it alone was outrageous.

Ye Guan's face turned cold. Damn it, that mysterious figure gave me the blood-red coffin with ill intentions.

"The Xuan Clan was caught off guard, and 'he' devoured over a dozen supreme. Right now, 'he' is trapped inside the Xuan World, and the people inside..."

"All dead? That’s great," replied Ye Guan.

Xin Yu was stunned speechless.

"You!" Xuan Li roared. He almost coughed up blood from anger upon hearing Ye Guan's words.

Ye Guan ignored Xuan Li. He looked at the Xuan World in the distance. The evil aura was growing stronger, indicating that the being was still devouring.

Ye Guan asked, "The more people he devours, the stronger he becomes?"

Xin Yu nodded.

Ye Guan looked at Xin Yu, puzzled, "Why don't you stop him?"

Xin Yu shook her head slightly. "The Taia Clan Leader and the previous clan leader of the Asura Clan, Asura Jing, have both taken action, but they couldn’t do anything to him."

Ye Guan chuckled, "It is not that they couldn't do anything, but they don't want to go all out, right?"

Xuan Li's face turned extremely ugly. The Asura Civilization was united against external threats, but it was a different story for internal strife.

The divine artifacts of a Tier Four Civilization had recently intensified the internal strife within the Asura Civilization.

A complicated look flashed in Xin Yu's eyes. She could obviously tell how serious the internal strife within the Asura Civilization had become, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Xin Yu turned to Ye Guan. "When that blood-red coffin was with you, it didn’t try to possess you. You must have suppressed it back then, right? Can you do it again?"

Ye Guan raised his hand and was about to refuse when an idea came to his mind. He pondered for a few moments before replying, "I do have a way to suppress it, but it's extremely difficult."

Xin Yu quickly asked, "What way?"

Even Xuan Li looked at Ye Guan with a hopeful expression.

Ye Guan explained, "I used that sword to suppress it. Return the sword to me, and I can suppress it again..."

"Nonsense!" An aged voice echoed. The speaker was Asura Xiao, the current Clan Leader of the Asura Clan.

Asura Xiao glared at Ye Guan. "How dare you try to provoke us at a time like this, you bastard! You deserve to die."

Ye Guan calmly said, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about that."

Asura Xiao glared at Ye Guan. If Xin Yu and the Taia Clan weren't here, he would have already killed Ye Guan. From the first time he saw Ye Guan, he knew the latter was a devious trickster.

Ye Guan ignored Asura Xiao's murderous gaze and stepped back. He was actually hoping for the Xuan Clan's annihilation.

Xuan Li suddenly cried out, "He might be telling the truth!"

Asura Xiao was furious, and he glared at Xuan Li, asking, "Can't you see that he's trying to drive a wedge between our clans?"

Xuan Li said in a deep voice, "The blood corpse inside was indeed under suppression when the coffin was still with him. However, he's too weak to suppress that blood corpse, so he must have done it with the sword."

Asura Xiao remained expressionless and silent, but he was furious inside. Give the sword to Ye Guan? Dream on!

Xuan Li looked at Asura Xiao. "You don't need to return the sword to him. Just bring out the sword to suppress it."

Xin Yu also nodded slightly. She looked at Asura Xiao and urged, "I know we usually have our fights and struggles, but I implore the Asura Clan to consider the bigger picture."

If the Xuan Clan ended up getting annihilated, the entire Asura Civilization would suffer.

After a long silence, Asura Xiao said, "I can’t make this decision. I need to discuss it with my father."

"I will talk to him," Xin Yu said. Then, she stared at the barrier and began sending a message through profound energy.

It didn’t take long for the barrier to start trembling. Moments later, Asura Jing walked out. His face was pale, and his breathing was chaotic.

Clearly, there was an ongoing fierce battle inside.

Xin Yu said in a deep voice, "Clan Leader Jing, that sword can suppress the blood corpse. Please consider the bigger picture..."

Everyone stared at the silent Asura Jing.

However, Asura Jing knew that he had to bring out the sword here, or the Asura Clan's prestige would be severely damaged.

The Asura Clan was the leader of the Asura Civilization, so they had to help their people. Otherwise, who would help the denizens of the Asura Civilization?

The barrier in the distance shattered, and waves of evil energy surged out like a tide.

Everyone was horrified, and they hurriedly retreated at the sight.

Ye Guan looked into the distance and saw the spacetime in the distance explode. Several people flew out, with "Xuan Ce" being the first. His entire figure was covered in a blood-red light, his hair was unkempt, and his face was hideous.

Taia Tian and a few supreme elites of the Asura Civilization were in the distance as well.

Ye Guan suddenly said, "Clan Leader Jing, if you use that sword to suppress him now, Clan Leader Xuan Ce can still be saved. If you hesitate any longer, it will be too late."

Asura Jing glanced coldly at Ye Guan.

The Xuan Clan members stared at Asura Jing with eyes full of expectation and anxiety.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Asura Jing couldn't hesitate any longer. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared.

Then, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the spot.

Xuan Ce suddenly raised his right arm to defend himself.

Boom!

Asura Jing was blasted thousands of meters away.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Asura Jing was stunned as well. He looked down at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand with a confused face. "Why is it not working?"

Ye Guan said in a deep voice, "Clan Leader Jing, must you really play tricks at this critical juncture? If you don't want to save Clan Leader Xuan Ce, can you at least come up with a better excuse to do that?"

Everyone stared deeply at Asura Jing.

The faces of the Xuan Clan members were extremely ugly. Damn it, Asura Clan! They still want to fight at this critical juncture? If worse comes to worst, let's just die together.
