I Have A Sword

Chapter 918: Sacrifice The Ancestor

Boom!

As Emperor Yong's fleshy body ignited, a terrifying aura erupted from him like a volcanic explosion. This aura instantly repelled the oppressive might of Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Seeing this, the expressions of everyone present grew incredibly serious.

Tianwu Shi stared intently at Emperor Yong, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Although Emperor Yong was only a Path Creation Realm expert, his aura suppressed even the half-step Path Annihilation Realm Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Although he had ignited his fleshly body to attempt that, how terrifying would Emperor Yong be if he had access to his full strength rather than just a third of it?

The thought of it alone was horrifying!

Tianwu Shi felt a shiver down his spine. Could anyone at the Path Creation Realm truly fight against someone at the Path Annihilation Realm? Where did he come from? How dare he defy the natural order!

Wuma Luo's expression was grave as well.

It was his first time seeing such a terrifying Path Creation Realm cultivator. Emperor Yong was even stronger than Wuma Luo at his peak, which was truly frightening. Wuma Luo was also puzzled as to why such an elite would support Ye Guan.

As this thought crossed his mind, Wuma Luo turned to look at Ye Guan in the distance with furrowed brows. The unease in his heart grew stronger. He had been growing increasingly uneasy about what was going on.

His intuition was telling him that Ye Guan's backers were strong.

When Dao Emperor Zhaowu noticed that his aura was being suppressed, he was stunned, but then he burst into laughter. "Hahaha! This is really getting interesting!"

He opened his palm, and a myriad of stars manifested, sweeping toward Emperor Yong like a tidal wave.

Emperor Yong leaped forward like a fireball, intending to exchange moves with Dao Emperor Zhaowu. Everything in his path was annihilated.

In the distance, Dao Emperor Zhaowu's smile faded, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. He stepped forward and threw a punch.

The punch seemed to carry the might of an entire universe region, and a radiant light erupted, blinding everyone.

Boom!

When Emperor Yong's punch landed, countless stars were extinguished. The powerful impact pushed Dao Emperor Zhaowu away.

Emperor Yong charged forward once more and threw another punch.

Countless fiery runes and fist imprints manifested, and an overwhelming aura swept everything away.

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed, and Dao Emperor Zhaowu was blasted a few hundred meters away.

Emperor Yong appeared like a madman, throwing punch after punch at Dao Emperor Zhaowu. With each punch, Dao Emperor Zhaowu would be sent flying at least a few hundred meters away.

No one could believe their eyes.

A Path Creation Realm cultivator was suppressing a half-step Path Annihilation Realm expert?

Emperor Yong was defying the heavens here!

Li Suifeng's expression became extremely serious. "Emperor Yong... he's strong..."

Ru Yuan, who had retreated to Ye Guan's side, also nodded slightly. His voice was solemn as he remarked. "It's a pity that he's under the effects of the Dao's backlash. Otherwise, this so-called Dao Emperor."

Ru Yuan paused and glanced at Dao Emperor Zhaowu in disdain.

Boom!

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was blasted away once again.

When he came to a stop, another fiery fist came crashing toward him.

Just then, Dao Emperor Zhaowu roared, and his hair flew wildly.

A dark light suddenly shot out from between his brows.

Boom!

The fiery fist shattered, and Emperor Yong was sent flying.

When he came to a stop, the area around him turned into a sea of flames.

Everyone looked up at Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

A long spear was hovering above him, and the entire spear was pitch black as if forged from ink.

"The Zhaowu Divine Spear!" Wuma Luo exclaimed.

The Zhaowu Divine Spear was the greatest treasure of the Zhaowu Era, and it had vanished with Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu gripped the spear, and the moment he did, his aura underwent an earth-shattering change. He took a step forward and thrust the spear forward.

A spear light spanning a thousand meters manifested, and a deafening explosion went off.

Emperor Yong flew backward as if he were a kite with its strings cut.

When he finally managed to come to a halt, his burning fleshy body cracked open in an instant.

"Senior, take the sword!" shouted Ye Guan before hurling the Qingxuan Sword at Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong reached out and grabbed the Qingxuan Sword.

The Qingxuan Sword trembled slightly in his hand.

A moment later, Emperor Yong let go of the Qingxuan Sword.

"Senior..."

"This sword is extraordinary, but it doesn't align with my Dao. Besides..." Emperor Yong looked up and stared at Dao Emperor Zhaowu in the distance with a hint of disdain on his face. "I don't need this powerful weapon to deal with him."

With that, Emperor Yong launched himself through the sky like a cannonball and made a beeline for Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

In the distance, Dao Emperor Zhaowu twisted his wrist and thrust the spear.

Boom!

A myriad of spear lights exploded, and terrifying waves of power rippled outward.

Both Dao Emperor Zhaowu and Emperor Yong were forced to retreat. As soon as Emperor Yong stopped, he charged at Dao Emperor Zhaowu once again.

The battle raged on, and the Ascension World was devastated beneath them.

After several rounds, Dao Emperor Zhaowu was once again suppressed by Emperor Yong.

The faces of Tianwu Shi and his cohort grew grim at the sight.

Tianwu Shi cast a confused gaze at Ye Guan in the distance.

Emperor Yong was so powerful, so why was he helping Ye Guan?

He still couldn't understand it.

Moreover, there were so many experts around Ye Guan, and his intuition was telling him that the Tianwu Clan had gotten itself caught up in a dangerous vortex of muddy waters.

Their fate would be decided by the outcome of this battle. Regardless, there was no turning back for them. They could only follow Dao Emperor Zhaowu to the end.

Wuma Xing's voice echoed in Tianwu Shi's mind. "Are you thinking of killing Ye Guan first?”

Tianwu Shi glanced at Wuma Xing and nodded. They just had to kill Ye Guan, and the people around him would scatter.

Wuma Xing said solemnly, "We're not strong enough to do that."

Tianwu Shi remained silent as he glanced at Li Suifeng and the others beside Ye Guan. They were not as strong as Emperor Yong, but they were still powerful.

Wuma Xing suddenly said, "Activate the clan protection array."

The clan protection array was one of their most powerful trump cards, and it was on par with summoning their ancestors. If they activated it, both the Tianwu Clan and the Wuma Clan would be left without any cards to play.

"We must win this battle. Although Ye Guan isn't as strong as us now, his talent is terrifying. If we give him time to reach the Path Creation Realm, none of our descendants will be his match," Wuma Xing suggested, "Therefore, we must eliminate him now to prevent future troubles."

Hearing that, Tianwu Shi cast aside his reservations and commanded, "Activate the clan protection array!"

The Tianwu Clan's elites were stunned, but they recovered quickly.

The Clan Leader of the Tianwu Clan opened his palm, and a token shot into the sky. Soon, beams of light burst out of the token, creating an array. Terrifying auras seeped out of the Tianwu Array. It was the Tianwu Clan's protection array, and it could easily be activated using a specific clan token.

The Wuma Clan made the same decision as the Tianwu Clan.

Tianwu Shi and Wuma Xing exchanged glances before entering their respective array to control them personally. They had created these arrays themselves, so they were the most familiar with them.

Seeing the Wuma Clan and Tianwu Clan deploy their clan protection arrays, Li Suifeng and the others' faces turned grim. They quickly positioned themselves in front of Ye Guan and got ready for battle.

Swoosh!

Li Han suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. He opened his palm, and a talisman shot into the sky.

Boom!

The talisman exploded with a terrifying aura, and an old man emerged from within the talisman. It was Li Ming, the ancestor of the Li Clan.

Li Ming was stunned as soon as he appeared. "What's going on here?"

Everyone present was silent.

Below, Li Han bowed respectfully. "Ancestor, our Li Clan is in danger. We need your help."

He had been planning on hiding this trump card reserve, but he knew that he could no longer hold back after seeing the Tianwu and Wuma Clans activate their clan protection arrays.

If Ye Guan ended up dying here, the Li Clan was finished.

Li Han knew that he had to risk everything.

Li Ming was slightly startled by Li Han's words. He looked around, and his expression darkened. Something feels off.

Li Ming looked at Li Han. "Tell me everything."

After a moment of hesitation, Li Han gave a brief explanation to his ancestor.

Li Ming turned to Ye Guan and stared at the latter in silence.

Meanwhile, the Clan Leader of the Tianwu Clan laughed. "Hahaha, Li Ming! Are you really willing to wage war on Dao Emperor Zhaowu and the Evil Dao Alliance for the sake of an unknown young man?"

Li Ming's face grew tense. He had to admit that he was feeling the pressure here.

Dao Emperor of Zhaowu was a terrifying figure from the Zhaowu Era, and there was also the Evil Dao Alliance. Li Ming glanced at Li Han. Damn, this bastard has actually decided to go all in? And he's even betting against the odds! Ballsy!

Li Han's heart sank in the face of Li Ming's silence. If the ancestor were to abandon them, he'd send the old man back to his grave permanently.

They were talking about the future of the Li Clan here.

If their ancestor were to stand in their way, he had to go on his way.

To achieve great things, one had to be prepared to sacrifice even one's ancestors!
