I Have A Sword

Chapter 693: What A Reliable Ally

The figure was none other than Erya!

Erya stared indifferently at Ye Guan and asked, “Your great Aunt Erya is right here; why would you call for backup?”

Ye Guan smiled slightly and said, “I was planning to call you.”

Erya licked her candied hawthorn and asked, “Really?”

“Of course. With you here, who can harm me? Who?” Ye Guan asked, looking around with a domineering light in his eyes.

However, Erya looked unimpressed as she replied, “Don't bother flattering me, as I don’t fall for that. But... you’re right.”

With that, she turned to face Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was staring at Erya with a solemn look; the little girl was giving off an aura that made him feel threatened.

“C'mere, let me beat you to death!” Erya exclaimed and vanished into a ray of light that flew toward Shen Yu.

Shen Yu responded by swinging his fist; he had decided to confront her!

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed as Shen Yu was blasted away

The supreme elites of the God Clan revealed grim looks at the sight. Shen Yu had the same expression as them when he finally came to a halt.

"Your strength..." Shen Yu stared at Erya and said, “It's extraordinary.”

“Really?” Erya asked nonchalantly.

Shen Yu was puzzled as he asked, “How come I've never heard of you?”

Logically speaking, it was weird that Shen Yu had never heard of such a powerful demonic beast as powerful as Erya.

Instead of replying, Erya took a step forward. Then, she vanished, leaving behind an afterimage in mid-air.

Shen Yu’s eyes narrowed at the sight, but before he could react...

Boom!

A chunk of spacetime caved in before him, and Shen Yu was sent flying away like a kite with its string cut.

Even Ye Guan was surprised by the sight. Erya’s strength is truly mysterious. Why is it that she's getting stronger the stronger her opponent is?

The God Clan's supreme elites were stupefied. They knew that an evil beast was accompanying Ye Guan, and they assumed that the evil beast was only as strong as a Divine Dao Realm cultivator with seventy percent divinity, but... it turned out that they were mistaken—it wasn't just a simple mistake; they had grossly underestimated her!

Madam Chu's expression grew serious as she stared at Erya from the shadows.

“What a powerful demonic beast...”

The white-robed young man nodded slightly and said, “Her strength... it really is terrifying.”

Madam Chu cast a deep, contemplative look at Ye Guan before saying, “He's truly not simple. The God Clan is in a pinch now.”

Meanwhile, Shen Yu was once again blown away by Erya's knuckle sandwich. He looked down at himself and saw cracks in his fleshly body. The sight made his expression grow even more serious than ever. He had truly underestimated the evil beast's strength.

Once bitten, twice shy, Shen Yu dared not to be careless anymore as he clenched his right hand, creating a black vortex.

An infinite expanse of stars and star fields was beyond the black vortex, and a terrifying aura locked onto Erya.

However, Erya remained unperturbed as she casually licked her candied hawthorn.

Erya and Shen Yu were abruptly engulfed by the black vortex.

Erya looked around and found herself in an unknown universe.

Boom!

Ye Guan blinked and muttered, “This...”

Erya placed the storage ring in Ye Guan's hand before turning to the supreme elites of the God Clan, asking, “Anyone else?”

The supreme elites of the God Clan revealed soured looks at the remark. Even their former clan leader had been slain, so who would be Erya's match among them?

A blanket of silence fell over everyone.

And that was when Shen Qi exclaimed, “Madam Chu! Are you not going to make your move yet?”

In the shadows, Madam Chu frowned. Is that bastard out of his mind? He's asking me to intervene after what just happened? I think he wants me to die.

The Chu Palace was no longer as powerful as it was during its prime, but its foundation was still unfathomably deep.

However, Madam Chu dared not use her trump cards right now, as the little girl had clearly not used her full strength to kill Shen Yu, who possessed eighty percent divinity...

Madam Chu? Ye Guan turned to the right. He knew that Madam Chu had been hiding in the shadows. After all, he had Erya by his side.

Noticing that Ye Guan's gaze was on her, Madam Chu realized that she could no longer hide.

She stepped out of the shadows, feeling the need to explain herself, so she said, “Young Lord Ye, we bear no ill will toward you. We've come here just to observe the battle, that's all.”

“Madam Chu!” Shen Qi roared, “You're breaking your promise?!”

Madam Chu calmly responded, “Shen Qi, I have no idea what you're talking about.”

Shen Qi was enraged. He didn't expect that the Chu Palace would be so unreliable. He couldn't have known that they'd switch sides at the critical juncture.

Madam Chu remained expressionless, choosing to feign ignorance.

Meanwhile, the Northern Demon King and the Northern Sealing Demon General revealed grim looks upon witnessing the end of the battle just now. The Northern Sealing Demon General also realized that the Ancient Wilderness couldn't afford to jump into the fray.

The strength of the evil beast standing next to Ye Guan had far exceeded their expectations.

The Northern Sealing Demon General turned to look at the Northern Demon King and suggested, “Demon King, it is not wise for us to jump into the—”

The Northern Demon King raised his right hand to stop the Northern Sealing Demon General from speaking. He looked up at Shen Qi and transmitted. “If your God Clan can suppress that evil beast, then my Ancient Wilderness will get rid of Ye Guan for you.”

Erya was so strong that an entire clan was needed to suppress her.

Shen Qi knew the magnitude of that task, and his expression became solemn upon hearing the Northern Demon King's words.

Suppress that evil beast? It would be an understatement to say that it was a difficult task.

However, Shen Qi knew that if the God Clan failed at the task, the Ancient Wilderness would definitely not make a move.

If that ended up happening, then the God Clan would...

Would the God Clan really have to play all their cards right now?

Truth be told, Shen QI was reluctant to do so. Those cards were supposed to be used only when they were on the brink of annihilation. Using those cards meant exposing them, so Shen Qi was reluctant to do so.

The Northern Demon King frowned and added, “Why are you still hiding your cards at this point? Do you know what's going to happen if the God Clan loses today's battle?”

Shen Qi was jolted awake by the Northern Demon King's words. Indeed! Wouldn't the God Clan cease to exist if they ended up losing today's battle?

Realizing that, Shen Qi no longer hesitated. He was about to deploy the God Clan’s strongest trump card when a voice echoed in his mind. “Clan Leader Shen Qi, do not be rash. I will help you.”

Shen Qi was stunned to hear this voice, but his shock quickly transformed into delight. The voice belonged to the Black Death Sovereign of the Black Death Realm.

Shen Qi was both excited and moved to hear that voice.

The Black Death Sovereign was a woman of her word. Shen Qi thought that she wouldn't intervene, so he was truly taken aback when he realized that the Black Death Sovereign was honorable enough to keep her word.

What a reliable ally!
