Chapter 963: The Dao of Killing
With much effort, he muttered, "Don\'t cry. Take a bite."
Yi Nian could feel him struggling under the influence of his Mad Demon Bloodline. She leaned forward and took a bite of the fruit.
"Is it good?" Ye Guan asked.
"Mmhm." Yi Nian nodded. Then, she buried her head into his neck and trembled slightly.
Ye Guan smiled faintly at her reply. He nuzzled her cheek before slowly raising his head to look into the distance. At this point, he was barely sane.
He saw an old man on the periphery of his vision. The old man was dressed in a divine robe, and he had a bed of white white hair as well as a decent beard. His gaze was as sharp as a blade despite his refined appearance.
He was Shu Zheng, the Chief Divine Officer of the Divine Bureau!
Two middle-aged Divine Officers were standing behind him, along with over a hundred mysterious warriors clad in black armor followed closely behind. They were members of the Divine Bureau Army!
Shu Zheng\'s cold eyes were on Ye Guan. He opened his right hand and clenched it immediately afterward.
Boom!
The spear embedded in Ye Guan and Yi Nian trembled violently.
A Tianxing Flame ignited from it, preparing to burn both of them alive.
Just then, Ye Guan drove the Qingxuan Sword\'s tip into his own abdomen!
Boom!
The Qingxuan Sword suppressed and extinguished the Tianxing Flame. In the distance, Shu Zheng frowned deeply, sensing that the Tianxing Flame had been snuffed out.
"How is that even possible?" Shu Zheng muttered in disbelief as he stared at Ye Guan. More than anything, he felt regretful. He ought to have reduced them to ashes as soon as they were struck.
Fortunately, the situation seemed to be under control now. Shu Zheng wanted to ask some questions, so he did not unleash the full power of his Tianxing Flame within the spear.
Ye Guan roared, "Master Pagoda!"
Boom!
A ray of golden light erupted from within Yi Nian, enveloping her completely.
Ye Guan turned to her and smiled wryly. "I\'ll take you out of here."
Yi Nian stroked his cheek. "Okay."
Little Pagoda emerged from Yi Nian and floated in front of Ye Guan.
With a single thought, Ye Guan sent Yi Nian into the pagoda. After she was safely inside, Little Pagoda transformed into a ray of golden light and melted into Ye Guan.
Ye Guan lifted his head, gazing toward Shu Zheng in the distance.
Shu Zheng coldly spat, "You can\'t leave, and she can\'t leave as well."
"Is that so? Let\'s find out, then," Ye Guan calmly remarked. With that, he closed his eyes, and his voice quavered as he whispered, "Master Pagoda, please help me when the time comes."
Ye Guan\'s eyes flew open.
Boom!
A column of blood-red energy shot up from him, piercing the sky.
He had decided to throw all caution to the wind and activate his bloodlines!
Without any suppression, Ye Guan\'s bloodlines erupted like a volcano that had not erupted in millions of years. A stupefying wave of killing intent swept across the heavens and earth.
With his complete descent into madness, Ye Guan\'s divinity reached perfection, and he made a breakthrough into the Path Creation Realm. However, the path he had created wasn\'t related to the sword; it was the Dao of Killing instead.
Shu Zheng frowned deeply at the boundless killing intent. "All of you, fall back."
"Have we notified High Goddess Tianxuan or the Chief Enforcement Officer?" asked Shu Zheng.
One of the Divine Officers responded in a low voice, "Not yet..."
Shu Zheng\'s expression darkened. "Inform them immediately."
The Divine Officer hesitated. "But he\'s just a swordsman from a low-tier civilization. Do we really need to trouble High Goddess Tianxuan and the Chief Enforcement Officer just for him?"
"Fool!" Shu Zheng roared, "You still think he\'s from a low-tier civilization?!"
The Divine Officer was startled.
Shu Zheng stared intently at Ye Guan, whose power was growing uncontrollably. His face was heavy as he said, "His bloodline is unnaturally strong, and he has such an abnormally strong sword as well.
"The forces behind him must be very formidable."
Shu Zheng then turned to the Divine Officer and roared, "Go and notify High Goddess Tianxuan and the Chief Enforcement Officer!"
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Divine Officer dared not delay any longer and left.
Shu Zheng then turned to the two main gods and said, "Both of you, withdraw as well."
The Mirror Goddess glanced at Ye Guan in the distance before saying, "Be careful."
With that, she left with the Talisman God. If they still had their divine artifacts, they could definitely fight Ye Guan.
But now, they stood no chance against him whatsoever. They\'d only be a burden here. Of course, they were not alone; quite a few experts had chosen to retreat as well.
Shu Zheng\'s brows furrowed as he examined Ye Guan. He noticed that Ye Guan\'s aura was still rapidly surging, seemingly without any limits. Something was wrong here!
An increasing sense of unease grew in his heart, but he decided not to wait any longer and took a step forward.
Shu Zheng waved his sleeve, and a bolt of lightning shot out from it. The lightning expanded in the air, transforming into a massive lightning pillar, which hurtled toward Ye Guan.
Ye Guan thrust his sword forward.
Boom!
The lightning pillar shattered, breaking into smaller bolts of lightning that scattered in all directions.
Shu Zheng\'s eyes narrowed at the sight, and his expression grew more serious.
Swoosh!
Ye Guan abruptly vanished.
A streak of blood-red sword light ripped through the air, reaching Shu Zheng in an instant. Faced with Ye Guan\'s terrifying strike, Shu Zheng dared not be careless. He opened his palm, and from it, an ancient token shot into the sky.
It was the Heavenly Thunder Token—one of the ten greatest treasures of the Tianxing Civilization!
With the appearance of this token, everything around Shu Zheng transformed into a lightning-filled zone.
Countless divine bolts of lightning formed a massive web that surrounded Ye Guan, but Ye Guan flicked his wrist, and the Qingxuan Sword unleashed a wave of blood-red sword light that annihilated the lightning web.
Seizing the moment, Ye Guan slashed again.
Boom!
Shu Zheng was blasted tens of thousands of meters away. The moment he stopped, the spacetime around him cracked open. From these fissures, a myriad of sword intents emerged, swarming him in the blink of an eye.
There was silence, but it was immediately shattered by a thunderous boom.
Shu Zheng emerged, holding the Heavenly Thunder Token. He resembled a lightning god as lightning bolts flickered around him. Each bolt of lightning seemed to be strong enough to destroy the heavens and shatter starfields.
Clearly, Shu Zheng had been pushed to his limits, and his fury had ignited his full power. The lightning surrounding him, amplified by his overwhelming anger, grew even more destructive.
Ye Guan disappeared once again.
A ferocious light flashed in Shu Zheng\'s eyes. His body trembled, and he transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging straight at Ye Guan with immense force.
Bam!
When the blood-red sword lights clashed with the lightning bolt, the latter instantly shattered. Shu Zheng was blasted a hundred thousand meters away.
The moment he came to a stop, the Heavenly Thunder Token above his head exploded into countless bolts of lightning, scattering across the sky and earth.
Shu Zheng was stunned. The Heavenly Thunder Token shattered? What?!
Before he could snap back to reality, a sword light was already in front of him. His eyes widened in shock, and he no longer dared to hold back. Clenching his fists tightly, he unleashed countless bolts of lightning flames.
Shu Zheng had a Divine Tianxing Flame, and he was capable of wielding it along with his lightning. A single Divine Tianxing Flame was capable of destroying an entire universe region. Fortunately, the unique spacetime here could withstand it.
If he were to release it anywhere else, everything would be reduced to ashes.
However, Ye Guan showed no fear in the face of the lightning flames.
With unrelenting force, he slashed at Shu Zheng once again.
Shu Zheng roared and drove the lightning flames toward Ye Guan.
The moment the lightning flames made contact with Ye Guan\'s Qingxuan Sword, it trembled violently and exploded. A piercing, agonized scream echoed throughout the place. It belonged to the spirit of the lightning flames!
Shu Zheng was horrified. He tried to retreat, but a sword pierced his forehead before he could even move.
Boom!
He was completely immobilized, and his face was filled with disbelief. "How..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently and absorbed his soul completely.
The world returned to normal.
"Raaaah!" Ye Guan roared once more, and an overwhelming wave of killing intent burst out of him, dyeing the skies blood-red. When the blood-red wave of killing intent approached the Tianxing Life Tree, it was blocked by an invisible force.
Ye Guan sheathed his Qingxuan Sword and transformed into a streak of sword light. His mind was consumed by a single thought—to escape the Tianxing Civilization with Yi Nian!
However, he had underestimated the terrifying nature of the Mad Demon Bloodline. As soon as he broke out of the Tianxing Life World, he sensed many powerful auras around him, so he came to a halt.
Little Pagoda said in a trembling voice, "Brat, we need to leave! NOW!"
Little Pagoda urgently tried to suppress Ye Guan\'s Mad Demon Bloodline, but he was instantly suppressed by the latter.
"It\'s over!" Little Pagoda lamented.
