I Have a Sword

Bam!

Little Pagoda was blown thousands of meters away. Before he could even come to a stop, Ye Guan had already rushed up to him, unleashing a flurry of sword strikes.

"Damn it!" Little Pagoda yelled while running, "Snap out of it! I'm your Master Pagoda!"

However, Ye Guan ignored his words and chased after him relentlessly.

Tian Qing was stunned.

Young Master Ye had lost control of himself.

What should I do? Tian Qing thought.

Just then, Ye Guan stopped.

Seeing that, Little Pagoda heaved a sigh of relief. "Have you come to your senses?"

"Fuck!" Little Pagoda jumped in fright and exclaimed, "Have you really gone mad, or are you just pretending?! How come you even switched swords? Don't come any closer, damn it!"

With that, Little Pagoda turned around and fled.

Ye Guan made a beeline for Little Pagoda with the Qingxan Sword in hand. Little Pagoda dared not fight back. Ye Guan's sword intent could not really harm him, but the Qingxuan Sword was different.

It could break through his defense as if it were just a piece of paper!

If he ended up dying at the hands of a deranged Ye Guan, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace. It would be such a vain and senseless death!

"Young Master Ye!" Tian Qing called out, "Why don't you calm—"

Tian Qing couldn't finish his sentence, as Ye Guan had whipped around to face him. Before Tian Qing could say anything, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and charged at him.

Tian Qing's expression changed, and he swung his fist forward.

Boom!

Tian Qing was blasted tens of thousands of meters away as soon as he collided with the Qingxuan Sword. Looking down at his arm, he was completely stunned to see that it had actually exploded into a bloody mist.

For some reason unknown to him, Ye Guan had become even more terrifying after switching swords.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan disappeared once again.

"Fuck!" Tian Qing cursed and ran away.

Just then, two women appeared in front of Ye Guan.

They were Yi Nian and Jing An.

Ao Qianqian had called them out, realizing that if they didn't suppress Ye Guan soon, he could end up annihilating the Abyssal Hell with the Qingxuan Sword in hand.

Yi Nian was shocked to see Ye Guan's condition, and she immediately stepped forward to speak. However, Ye Guan decisively slashed at her. Yi Nian was so stunned by his attack that she froze, seemingly forgetting to dodge.

Just as Ye Guan's sword was about to hit her, the blade veered off course and flew toward Jing An instead.

Jing An's eyes widened. "That's not fair!"

She raised an ancient-looking golden book to defend herself.

Bang!

A burst of golden light erupted, forcing Ye Guan to retreat thousands of meters away.

Jing An glanced at the golden book in her hands and noticed a faint sword mark on it. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. Before she could do anything, Ye Guan charged at her again, sword in hand.

Jing An raised the golden book again and chanted an incantation.

Boom!

A beam of golden light descended, enveloping Ye Guan and trapping him in place. Jing An took a step forward and pressed a finger on Ye Guan's forehead.

Bang!

A beam of golden light entered Ye Guan.

In response, Ye Guan roared and swung his sword down with immense force.

Boom!

The golden light shattered, and the attack forced Jing An to retreat repeatedly in disbelief.

"What a strong bloodline!" Jing An marveled.

Swoosh!

Ye Guan had closed the distance between them and struck again. As his sword descended, the Hell Battlefield transformed into an endless sea of blood, and a deluge of extreme killing intent swept toward Jing An.

Despite the terrifying sight, Jing An remained calm. She raised the golden book in her hand and flipped it open. In no time, she found the appropriate page and began chanting the incantation within.

Boom!

A golden light burst out of the ancient book, and it engulfed Ye Guan at once, pulling him into a world that seemed to be made of gold.

With a single slash from Ye Guan, however, the world of gold crumbled.

Jing An's eyes widened in disbelief. It broke so easily?

Little Pagoda called out, "I'll help you!"

Little Pagoda transformed into a beam of golden light that melted into Ye Guan. The next instant, a powerful energy started suppressing Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline.

Jing An saw that and stepped forward, pressing a finger on Ye Guan's forehead.

Boom!

A beam of golden light rushed out of Jing An's finger and melted into Ye Guan.

Ye Guan's killing intent was suppressed. It was resisting, but it seemed too weak to fight back against the joint suppression of Jing An and Little Pagoda. In the end, the killing intent disappeared into Ye Guan, allowing him to sober up.

Just then, Jing An dashed up to Ye Guan and quietly took his Qingxuan Sword. She then put it away inside her own independent space.

Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.

Yi Nian walked up to Jing An and extended her right hand.

Jing An blinked, feigning ignorance.

Yi Nian glared at her and exclaimed, "That was my sword!"

Jing An pursed her lips. "I didn't say I wanted it. I just wanted to study it."

Despite that, Yi Nian insisted that she return the Qingxuan Sword.

In the end, Jing An reluctantly returned the Qingxuan Sword.

Jing An took out a candied hawthorn and licked it. "That sword is really impressive. It even shattered my Forbidden Book World. It's amazing."

"That was made by my aunt. How could it not be impressive?"

"Our aunt is indeed amazing!"

Yi Nian cast a questioning gaze at Jing An.

"We're from the same vine. Your aunt is my aunt. Isn't that normal?"

Yi Nian was at a loss for words.

"The next time you see Aunt, can you ask her to make me a sword?" asked Jing An.

Yi Nian snorted, "You wish."

Jing An wanted to say more, but Ye Guan opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were still slightly bloodshot, but he looked much better than earlier.

Yi Nian hurried to his side, looking somewhat worried. "Are you okay?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "Much better now."

Yi Nian relaxed a little and nodded slightly. "Next time, don't just randomly activate that bloodline."

Ye Guan was also a little frightened. He felt completely different upon activating the Mad Demon Bloodline—starkly different compared to the previous activations.

Although he had no memories of what had happened, he could feel an unusually strong killing intent inside of him. It was a killing intent that was so strong that it felt abnormal. It really was absurd.

I guess I can no longer activate the Mad Demon Bloodline whenever I want to.

Ye Guan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Tian Qing. Seeing that Tian Qing had lost an arm, he instantly knew that it had to have been his fault. He immediately felt a little guilty as he apologized, "Senior, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Ye Guan had recovered completely, Tian Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Guan in his maddened state was outrageously strong, especially when he was holding that sword. For a moment, Tian Qing felt Death staring at him.

Ye Guan asked, "Senior, how can I take you away?"

Tian Qing collected his thoughts and pointed at the distant horizon.

Ye Guan looked up and saw a faint seal in the sky.

Ye Guan looked at Yi Nian, who handed him the Qingxuan Sword.

Ye Guan then opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword took to the skies.

Whoosh!

The faint seal shattered; the seal was no more!

Tian Qing stared at Ye Guan for a long time in disbelief. It was fortunate that he had chosen to surrender. Otherwise, he would have had to spend an eternity here. I'm really smart!

Ye Guan looked at him and smiled. "Senior, let's go."

Tian Qing nodded. "Alright."

Everyone went outside. The Hell Lord cast a wary gaze at Yi Nian and Jing An standing next to Ye Guan. The two women were from the Tianxing Civilization!

The Tianxing Civilization was the object of many civilizations' nightmares.

Ye Guan looked at the Hell Lord and put his fist together. "Senior, thank you very much."

The Hell Lord withdrew his thoughts and smiled. "It was nothing. If you have time in the future, you're welcome to visit my Abyssal Hell any time. We might not have much, but we have plenty of evil spirits. I'll reserve some of the strong ones for you."

Ye Guan didn't refuse the offer. "Thank you, Senior."

The Hell Lord replied, "You're too polite."

Ye Guan nodded and left quietly with the others.

Left all alone, the Hell Lord fell into deep contemplation, and he stayed silent for a long time.

When Ye Guan returned to the city and was about to leave, he noticed a man and a woman haggling at a stall at the end of the street.

The man turned and smiled at Ye Guan as soon as their gazes met in midair.

The woman also turned to look at Ye Guan with curiosity in her eyes.

Ye Guan smiled and disappeared past the city gates.

Meanwhile, the woman looked at the man and asked, "Little Yong, do you know that man?"

Emperor Yong nodded. "Yes, he's a friend of mine."

The woman smiled. "If he's your friend, you should introduce him to me. I know someone in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, and they can help him get a position there.

"They're still hiring, and the salary is more than twenty Dao Origin Crystals."

"All right, I'll mention it to him," Emperor Yong said.

The woman turned to the stall owner and said, "Boss, two hundred Origin Crystals for this ghost sword. Are you going sell it to me or not?"

The stall owner shook his head. "This is a medium-grade ghost sword. It's worth at least three hundred Origin Crystals. I won't sell it for less than that."

In the face of the stall owner's firm attitude, the woman hesitated for a moment before looking down at the storage ring on her finger. Moments later, she took it off and handed it to the stall owner, saying, "I only have 280 Origin Crystals. It's my life savings."

The stall owner shook his head again, refusing her offer.

The woman glared at the stall owner and took off the jade hairpin on her head, handing it over to him. "This is a low-grade accessory, and it contains a sizeable spiritual energy. It's worth at least fifty Origin Crystals!"

The stall owner took a look at the jade hairpin and accepted it. He then handed the ghost sword to her.

The woman accepted the sword and stroked it briefly before breaking out into a delighted smile. "What a good sword!"

The woman then handed it to Emperor Yong, saying, "Little Yong, this is for you."

Emperor Yong was slightly taken aback. "It's for me?"

"Yes, you can keep it for self-defense. With this sword, you can contend against someone stronger than you"

"Why give this to me?"

"Silly boy, it's all because you're my little brother!"

Emperor Yong's hands trembled slightly, and he lowered his head in silence…

"Let's go! It's time to get back to work," the woman said with a smile. Then, she turned around and started walking away.

Emperor Yong chased after her. After a while, the woman suddenly asked, "Little Yong, why does it feel like we've met each other before?"

Emperor Yong replied, "Maybe we knew each other in our past life."

"You must have treated me well in that past life," remarked the woman.

Emperor Yong shook his head. "No."

The woman was slightly taken aback. Then, she grinned and said, "It's okay; you can just treat me better in this life."
