Chapter 345: Aunt
The woman\'s lift became charming as she remarked, "You\'re sharp."
Aunt! Ye Guan grinned brightly. Aside from his plain-skirt aunt, he had a few more aunts. The woman in front of him felt so close to him, which was why he had unknowingly blurted out the word aunt.
The woman in the white robe\'s smile deepened as she said, "You really resemble my brother."
Ye Guan asked, "Did my father send you to protect me?"
"Yes, but I also wanted to see you." The woman in the white robe chuckled and ruffled Ye Guan\'s hair before saying, "Step aside; Aunt will handle this for you."
However, Ye Guan shook his head and said, "Aunt, can you let me take on one?"
The woman in the white robe was surprised, "Take on one?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Facing seven is too much for me, but one? I can give it a shot."
The woman in the white robe smiled and said, "Sure."
Ye Guan grinned and turned to the old man wearing daoist robes.
"Send a Great Destiny Sovereign to face me one on one. How about that?"
The old man glanced at Ye Guan and chuckled. "Can your aunt even handle six?"
Swoosh!
A white flowing sword light suddenly appeared and rushed toward the old man. The old man frowned and opened his palm, conjuring a wall of fire a few hundred meters high.
Bam!
The wall of fire was instantly extinguished, and the impact sent the old man flying hundreds of meters away.
Another woman was standing at the old man\'s previous location. She was wearing a pristine white skirt, and the way she held her sword exuded unprecedented grace reminiscent of a goddess.
The expressions of the Great Destiny Sovereigns turned serious.
Ye Guan looked at the woman in the white skirt and exclaimed, "Aunt!"
The woman in the white skirt looked at Ye Guan.
She broke out into a grin and exclaimed, "You really are handsome!"
"It\'s just my good genes!" Ye Guan exclaimed with a chuckle.
The woman in the white skirt chuckled at that and said, "You\'re good with your words as well."
Ye Guan smiled, but he was inwardly surprised to see two of his aunts at the same time.
The woman in the white robe looked at the old man and said with a smile, "Since he wants a one-on-one, what do you think of letting him do it?"
The old man looked at the flame in his hand and saw that it had grown weaker. The old man was stupefied. The woman in the white skirt could actually harm an Eternal Fire[1]! Clearly, he had underestimated the Guanxuan Universe\'s overall strength!
The old man swept his gaze across the two women before saying, "Since he wants a one-on-one, then let there be a one-on-one."
"Who\'s up?" he asked the Great Destiny Sovereigns behind him.
Sovereign Xuan stepped forward with his long spear. He looked at Ye Guan in the distance and chuckled. "Why bother with a one-on-one? Let your two aunts move, and you\'ll have a great chance of escaping with their help."
Ye Guan smiled, "No need for unnecessary words. How about this? I want us to fight one-on-one without anyone\'s interference."
Sovereign Xuan stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ye Guan nodded, "Yes."
Sovereign Xuan glanced at the woman in the white robe and the woman in the white skirt. Then, he smiled without saying anything.
Ye Guan instantly understood what he meant. He turned around and stared at the two women with a serious gaze. "Aunts, I\'ll have a one-on-one battle with him. Please don\'t intervene even if I start losing."
The woman in the white robe looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you sure?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
After a moment of silence, the woman in the white robe nodded. "Okay."
Hearing that, Ye Guan turned to look at Sovereign Xuan.
Sovereign Xuan burst into laughter and said, "Gentlemen, please don\'t intervene even if I start losing in our one-on-one. Anyone who does so won\'t earn my gratitude; I\'ll consider them my mortal enemy instead."
With that, the rest of the Great Sovereigns withdrew to the sidelines.
The two women did the same.
The woman in the white robe muttered, "He\'s a really prideful young man."
The woman in the white skirt\'s eyes shone with a hint of concern. She wasn\'t aware of Ye Guan\'s capabilities, so she didn’t know what to expect. She had chosen to trust Ye Guan because the latter\'s eyes exuded confidence.
Sovereign Xuan commented, "Daring to challenge a Great Destiny Sovereign at the Peak Immortal Realm—I must admit, you\'re quite bold. Your boldness is rare, even during my glory days. Rest assured, I won\'t stoop so low as to bully the weak."
Sovereign Xuan suppressed his cultivation base to the Peak Immortal Realm.
The old man wearing daoist robes frowned, but he couldn\'t say anything.
Ye Guan was daring enough to challenge a Great Destiny Sovereign at the Peak Immortal Realm, but it would actually be shameless of them to send a Great Destiny Sovereign against a Peak Immortal Realm cultivator in a one-on-one fight.
In addition, Sovereign Xuan had his own pride. He was considered a heaven-defying talent himself for even reaching the Great Destiny Sovereign. With that in mind, there was no way he could allow a paltry Peak Immortal to challenge him.
After suppressing his realm, Sovereign Xuan looked at Ye Guan and said, "Let\'s get started."
Ye Guan stared into Sovereign Xuan\'s eyes and said, “I\'m going, then.”
Swoosh!
Ye Guan vanished into a streak of sword light.
Sovereign Xuan laughed heartily and charged forward with a thrust of his long spear. The long spear moved like a dragon, causing the starry space to surge with energy. His aura remained oppressive and dense despite his suppressed cultivation base.
In fact, it felt as though he had become stronger.
The two chose to face each other\'s attack head-on for the first move.
The moment the spear and the sword collided, a burst of sword light and spear light erupted. The resulting force sent both of them staggering backward, but at the same time, Sovereign Xuan threw his spear toward Ye Guan.
Swish!
The long spear flew forward, tearing through the air with terrifying force. Every inch of spacetime in its way was torn apart, creating a horrifying scene. The long spear instantly reached Ye Guan. It was no longer in Sovereign Xuan’s hand, but it was still incredibly powerful.
However, Ye Guan didn\'t retreat—no, he couldn\'t afford to retreat.
He raised his sword and swung it down fiercely.
It was a sword move emblazoned with Unbeatable!
The sword\'s aura was no weaker than the aura of Sovereign Xuan’s spear.
Unbeatable!
Ye Guan was neither afraid nor hesitant, even in the face of a Great Destiny Sovereign.
Unfortunately, his sword was slightly weaker than Sovereign Xuan\'s spear.
Bang!
Ye Guan\'s sword struck and blasted the long spear away, but Ye Guan himself was sent flying backward by at least a few kilometers. When he came to a halt, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth and onto the ground. Tiny cracks had also appeared on his arms, and his blood slowly dripped onto his sword, giving it a crimson hue—it was a blood-stained sword!
The old man and the other Great Destiny Sovereigns cast a solemn gaze at the fight.
The young man\'s prowess had astounded them—to think that he could face Sovereign Xuan head-on! Sovereign Xuan had indeed suppressed his cultivation base, but Great Destiny Sovereigns were strong not just because of their realms.
Sovereign Xuan opened his palm, and the long spear returned to him. He glanced at the cracks on the spear, and he broke out into a grin. Moments later, he laughed heartily and shouted, "Interesting! This is interesting! Here, come at me again!"
His words had yet to finish echoing throughout the battlefield when he suddenly vanished with his long spear pointing at Ye Guan in the distance.
He didn\'t make any flashy moves, and it was just a simple thrust. However, the long spear contained enough power to annihilate small worlds. It made sense as Sovereign Xuan had infused all of his power into the spear.
He knew that Ye Guan would undoubtedly choose to fight him head-on, and Sovereign Xuan was convinced that Ye Guan wouldn\'t be able to withstand the energy contained within his spear. It didn\'t matter if he had a sturdy physique.
He wanted to end the fight with one thrust!
As a Great Destiny Sovereign from the era of the Eternal Civilization, he naturally had his pride. If he were to engage in a long battle with a young man, it would be embarrassing even if he won, so he wanted to achieve a landslide victory.
One thrust to end the battle!
Ye Guan\'s heart was gripped by trepidation upon sensing the terrifying might contained within the spear. Clearly, Sovereign Xuan wanted to determine victory or defeat with a single thrust.
Retreat?
It was impossible! If he retreated, his sword would become weaker than the spear. To make matters worse, any hint of indecisiveness would lead to certain defeat. Ye Guan charged forward decisively. He gripped the blood-stained sword as his gaze turned ice cold, devoid of any emotion.
Soon, the distance between the two shrank from kilometers to meters. Sovereign Xuan exerted all his strength, thrusting the spear toward Ye Guan\'s chest. Just as everyone expected Ye Guan to counterattack with his sword, Ye Guan allowed the long spear to pierce his chest.
He wasn\'t going to fight back?
Everyone was shocked, and the two women were startled as well. They didn\'t expect that Ye Guan wouldn\'t make any move to protect himself, so the two women quickly became nervous.
Sovereign Xuan was also nervous. He could feel something amiss. However, it was already too late the moment he bent his knees to jump backward and retreat. Ye Guan was just too close to him, and a sword pierced his belly.
Ye Guan\'s goal was to exchange a life for a life! Sovereign Xuan roared in pain and threw a punch forward, but Ye Guan let go of his sword and punched Sovereign Xuan\'s fist.
World Devastation Art!
Boom!
A deafening explosion rocketed the starry sky, and both Ye Guan and Sovereign Xuan cut sorry figures in mid-air as they flew backward. When Sovereign Xuan came to a stop, his expression changed dramatically. Something was burning inside him!
Sovereign Xuan looked down at the blood-stained sword and was horrified.
"Bloodline power!" he exclaimed.
Ye Guan\'s blood had entered his body, and it was ruthlessly devouring his bloodline.
Sovereign Xuan decisively destroyed his own fleshy body.
However, Ye Guan\'s bloodline had already entered his soul.
The Great Destiny Sovereigns were horrified by the sight. What bloodline was that? It was terrifying!
Sovereign Xuan sat down cross-legged and desperately attempted to suppress the bloodline power inside of him. His expression was filled with terror, and he was scared for his life.
Meanwhile, two hands caught Ye Guan just as he collapsed to the ground. Ye Guan\'s aunts managed to catch him in time before he fell to the ground.
The woman in the white skirt looked down at Ye Guan in her arms. Blood was pouring out of Ye Guan\'s mouth, and his right arm was twisted and deformed. Every bone in his body was shattered, and the wound in his belly was bleeding profusely.
Ye Guan looked at the two women before him and grinned. The blood pouring out of his mouth made it difficult for him to speak, but he tried his best and stammered, "Aunts, you saw... it... right? I can... take on... one of them... Only if they hadn\'t ganged up on me...”
1. unclear whether it\'s just a type of flame or if it\'s the name of the flames, so I decided to keep it capitalized but adding an indefinite article ?
