Chapter 905: Someone’s Behind You
Ye Guan was wary of Jimo Lan, as her actions seemed calculated and deliberate. We only met once or twice, but she acts like she's in love with me. What nonsense. No way I'm charming enough that a woman will fall for me in the blink of an eye.
People aren’t so frivolous with their feelings, either. There's no need to escalate things, so I'll just let her be. If she isn’t here for love, then she must be here for profit. If it is for profit, I can take it as an alliance, a partnership where both of us can profit from one another. Whether we are true allies or just using each other... it all depends on her.
Ye Guan emptied his mind and glanced at the distant Dao Street before heading toward the stone steps.
His goal was the Fourth Heaven.
He had received some warnings about the Fourth Heaven, but he wanted to test it.
If he could secure the help of the Fourth Heaven's expert, then his chances of survival would increase.
He needed more allies, after all.
As soon as Ye Guan stepped into the Fourth Heaven, a voice echoed in his mind. "Brother Ye!"
Ye Guan was taken aback. "Li Han?"
Swoosh!
A shadowy figure appeared before him.
It was indeed Li Han!
Ye Guan was surprised. Why is this guy here?
Li Han suddenly said, "This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go inside the tiny pagoda."
"Sure."
With that, Ye Guan led Li Han into the tiny pagoda.
Once inside, Li Han spoke in a grave tone of voice, "You’ve heard about it, haven’t you?"
"You mean about the Dao Emperor Zhaowu, who has come here to kill me?"
Li Han nodded.
"I just found out."
"I'm sure you don't know anything about him, so let me tell you something," Li Han said, sounding serious. "He was invincible during the Zhaowu Era, and he was the only one beyond the Path Creation Realm at the time.
"Moreover, I’ve heard that he’s not alone; he has brought in some mysterious experts with him. I couldn’t even uncover their identities."
Ye Guan chuckled. "Brother Li, are you not on the Evil Dao Hall's side?"
Li Han frowned slightly. "What are you talking to me like that? I see you as a brother, but you're talking to me like that. Not cool, man."
Ye Guan was speechless. Since when did we become brothers?
Li Han suddenly asked, "What’s your plan?"
"I'm planning to take it one step at a time."
Li Han frowned. "That’s it?"
"Yes."
Li Han was a bit exasperated.
Ye Guan smiled. "Brother Li, did you come here to join me in life and death?"
"You could say that."
"Why?"
Li Han stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "Because I think you’ll win."
Ye Guan was stunned. "That’s all?"
Ye Guan’s expression darkened at the sight of her, as she was none other than Ji Xiaojian!
Ji Xiaojian stared at Ye Guan and started. "How—"
Swoosh!
A sword appeared out of nowhere, and it slashed out toward her face—Phantom Edge!
Ye Guan went all out without any hesitation.
Ji Xiaojian reacted quickly. She drew her saber and swung it downward.
Boom!
The Phantom Edge was deflected, and Ji Xiaojian spun around, performing a horizontal slash.
Boom!
Ye Guan's sword that was coming from behind her shattered into pieces.
However, Ji Xiaojian had no time to relax. A shrill noise echoed behind her, and when she turned around to defend herself, Ye Guan was already in front of her with a radiant sword in hand.
Ye Guan slashed out.
Ji Xiaojian raised her sword to defend herself.
Boom!
Ye Guan was blasted away, but Ji Xiaojian’s massive saber shattered in her hands.
The saber could not withstand the Qingxuan Sword!
Ji Xiaojian froze in disbelief at the incredulous sight. The next moment, she thrust her palm downward and manifested her sword domain.
Boom!
Before it could form, a sword swept past her nape.
If she had been even a moment slower, the attack would have taken her life.
Furious, Ji Xiaojian stomped, and a wave of sword lights erupted from the ground.
Boom!
A sea of swords manifested around Xiaojian, deflecting Ye Guan’s Phantom Edge.
Ye Guan was about to strike again when a sword light sliced through the sea of swords and went straight for him.
Undeterred, Ye Guan slashed out.
Boom!
The sword light was torn apart. Ye Guan looked up and saw Ji Xiaojian holding a sword formed purely of sword intent. Ji Xiaojian took out a sugar cane and bit into it before saying, "Wow, you’ve gotten a lot stronger in such a short period of time. Impressive."
Ye Guan didn't bother responding and simply slashed out with the Qingxuan Sword—Lifespan Severance!
Ji Xiaojian’s expression changed drastically. She seemed to have sensed something that made her face turn pale. "My lifespan!"
Ye Guan’s sword had just severed five hundred thousand years of her lifespan.
"Fuck!" Ji Xiaojian roared in fury before retreating frantically. She even threw her sugar cane at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was about to swing his sword again, but Ji Xiaojian turned around and hopped onto a sword made out of sword intent before speeding away into the distant horizon.
Ye Guan was taken aback.
She ran away just like that? That's it? Ye Guan sneered.
"Someone's behind you," Little Pagoda said.
Ye Guan's expression froze.
