Chapter 696: Fathers Sword
Chapter 696: Father\'s Sword
But if not...
The Zhen Clan would face utter devastation.
Whether Ye Guan had such a powerful backer was uncertain. So far, only the Primordial Spirit Land had an elite with ninety percent divnity. Aside from them, the First God was the only one who achieved that.
Yet, Zhen Tian chose to believe.
Ye Guan\'s extraordinary feats suggested he had formidable support. At this point, speculating further was pointless. He had to act as if Ye Guan had that kind of backing.
With this in mind, Zhen Tian smiled at Shen Qi, "Looks like you\'re ready to use your family\'s last resort."
Shen Qi slowly closed his eyes. At this juncture, he knew he had no other choice.
Zhen Tian also fell silent, knowing it was time for everyone to reveal their trump cards.
He watched the fierce battle below, curious if Ye Guan truly had a ninety percent divinity elite behind him.
On the battlefield, the fight between Ye Guan and the Northern Demon King was at its peak.
Both were fighting with all their might.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave erupted, forcing both Ye Guan and the Northern Demon King to stagger back. This time, the Northern Demon King didn’t continue his assault. He looked at Ye Guan in the distance and slowly closed his eyes.
He felt deep frustration because he realized he couldn’t defeat Ye Guan.
Outwardly, he seemed to have the upper hand, but only he knew that Ye Guan’s strength was growing rapidly, almost too fast to contain.
He knew he couldn’t drag this out any longer as it would only disadvantage him.
The Northern Demon King slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Guan. His hands clenched tightly.
Boom!
Instantly, his body began to turn ethereal.
"He’s reverting to his true form!"
In the shadows, Madam Chu watched the Northern Demon King’s shifting form. "He’s finally been forced to reveal his final form."
Only in their true forms could beasts unleash their full power.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Northern Demon King transformed into his demonic beast form. He wasn’t very large, standing only about a few meters tall. He resembled a giant crocodile with wings and he exuded an immensely powerful aura.
From a distance, Ye Guan glanced at the Northern Demon King, wiping the blood from his mouth. He knew it was time to decide the victor.
Ao Qianqian suddenly asked, "Need my help?"
Ye Guan shook his head and Ao Qianqian appeared worried.
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t do anything reckless."
She stayed silent, knowing he must have a plan.
Ye Guan lifted his head to look at the Northern Demon King, now in his true form. Their eyes met, and without a word, the Northern Demon King turned into a streak of black light and vanished.
Boom!
The entire galaxy seemed to erupt from sheer power. And then, silence fell.
The Northern Demon King was using his pure physical power.
Ye Guan slowly closed his eyes. As the Northern Demon King charged at him, countless swords burst forth.
This time, Ye Guan mustered all swords he could with his sword intent. It was his strongest attack!
The moment he released them, a terrifying force erupted, shocking everyone. Each sword contained unique spacetime energy. In an instant, Ye Guan detonated countless swords that harnessed this power.
Boom!
Both Ye Guan and the Northern Demon King were thrown back.
Waves of energy rippled outwards, sending weaker cultivators flying. Some of their bodies cracked and their souls were damaged.
Erya stared at the darkened space, momentarily pausing the eating of her hawthorn candy.
She just watched intently, then resumed licking her candy.
Little White watched anxiously, her tiny paws clenched.
Grandson couldn’t get hurt!
Everyone around watched the darkened space, where waves of energy continued to spread.
Who lost?
Time passed, and after about fifteen minutes, the space gradually calmed.
Ye Guan and the Northern Demon King reappeared.
Ye Guan\'s body was completely cracked, like shattered porcelain. Blood oozed out only to be reabsorbed instantly.
Opposite him, the Northern Demon King was covered in countless sword scars. His body, though strong, couldn’t withstand the unique spacetime energy in Ye Guan’s swords.
Who lost?
The crowd watched in confusion, wondering if it was a draw.
The Northern Demon King slowly raised his head to look at Ye Guan. "What kind of spacetime energy is that?"
Ye Guan\'s Sword Dao was strong, but he knew it wasn\'t enough to break his defenses. The real threat was the unique spacetime energy within Ye Guan’s swords.
"Just a little something from my elders. I don’t know what it’s called."
The Northern Demon King fell silent.
His elders!
At this moment, he realized that no matter how proud or arrogant he was, Ye Guan had powerful and extraordinary backing. He had underestimated him.
At this, Ye Guan suddenly said, "Now that you mention it, I realized my new sword technique doesn\'t have a name. How about ‘Phantom Edge\'? Haha..."
The Northern Demon King stared at him silently. Then, his body began to crack, blood pouring out from his wounds.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan was already partially healed.
Seeing this, everyone understood—the Northern Demon King had lost.
He lost because of Ye Guan\'s incredible recovery ability. As long as Ye Guan wasn\'t killed instantly, he could keep healing, like a perpetual motion machine. It was absurd.
Ye Guan looked at the Northern Demon King, who was now breaking apart, and stayed silent.
Indeed, he had won due to his recovery powers. Without them, he wouldn\'t have stood a chance against the Northern Demon King\'s overwhelming strength. This realization made him chuckle. I’ll need more recovery items from Little White and Erya in the future.
Just as Ye Guan prepared to finish off the Northern Demon King, a voice from the sky interrupted him, "Stop."
Ye Guan looked up to see the sky splitting open, revealing three figures.
Two men and a woman.
At that moment, Zhen Tian\'s voice echoed in Ye Guan\'s mind, "The leader is the Titan Demon King, the foremost of the four great demon kings of the Ancient Wilderness. Beside him are Torrent Demon King and Lunarbane Demon King."
All four demon kings had gathered!
Ye Guan glanced at the Titan Demon King. "What do you want?"
"Ye Guan, he is from the Ancient Wilderness."
"So what?"
"You can\'t kill him."
Though the four Demon Kings usually acted independently, they all belonged to the Ancient Wilderness. Letting Ye Guan kill the Northern Demon King would be a huge blow to their prestige. Plus, they had orders from Demon Moon to intervene if necessary.
Ye Guan laughed, then vanished in a flash of sword light.
Shwing!
With a swish, the Northern Demon King was pierced between the brows by Ye Guan\'s sword and instantly erased by the special spacetime energy within. There was nothing left of him.
Ye Guan looked at the Titan Demon King. "You think you can stop me?"
Silence fell over the area. Ye Guan clearly had no regard for the Ancient Wasteland.
The Titan Demon King glared at Ye Guan. "So fearless?"
"You killing me is justified, but me killing you is audacious?" Ye Guan continued, "Let\'s cut the nonsense. If I don\'t die today, I\'ll make sure to wipe out the Ancient Wildernes."
There was no room for reconciliation with the God Clan or the Ancient Wilderness at this point. It was a fight to the death.
Hearing Ye Guan, the Titan Demon King\'s eyes narrowed, and the other two Demon Kings\' gazes turned icy.
No one had ever dared to disrespect the Ancient Wilderness like this.
Backing down now would ruin their reputation.
The Titan Demon King looked at Erya. "Lets fight?"
Without hesitation, Erya licked her hawthorn candy. "Sure!"
The Titan Demon King nodded and stepped forward. In an instant, both he and Er Ya disappeared.
Boom!
Explosions echoed through an unknown part of the starry sky.
The remaining two Demon Kings turned to Ye Guan. He smiled. "Are you planning to gang up on me?"
Torrent Demon King stared at him. "So what if we are?"
I believe in fairness. If you fight me one-on-one, I won\'t use any outside help. That\'s my final offer. But if you gang up on me, then all bets are off."
"Then go ahead and use your outside help."
With that, the two Demon Kings charged at Ye Guan.
Two against one! Ye Guan quietly drew his father\'s sword.
