I Have A Sword

Chapter 981: You Point; They Die

Her plain skirt had an elegance that was unmatched. Despite her simple appearance, her presence was impossible to ignore.

In the starry sky up above, High Goddess Tianxuan and Tianyun frowned with solemn looks.

Everyone looked curiously at the lady standing beside Ye Guan. Strangely, no one could sense her power or presence, and their expressions became tense upon realizing that.

Master Guiwu shifted uneasily. He glanced at the Karma Robe he wore, hoping that its karma would protect him.

The Time Lady stared intently at Plain-Skirt Destiny, feeling a deep, unsettling fear for the first time ever.

The Slaughter Lord and The Parting Sorrows' Ancestor realized that this lady was no ordinary figure. Her calm demeanor only deepened their unease.

Ye Guan pointed at Qiu Baiyi and said, "Aunt, he wants to meet you. I don't know what he's plotting, but it's definitely a trap."

Qiu Baiyi remained silent, but the smile on his face faltered slightly.

Plain-Skirt Destiny glanced at Qiu Baiyi.

Qiu Baiyi chuckled. "Young Master Ye, surely you still have other powerful relatives? Perhaps your father or grandfather? Why not call them out, too?"

Ye Guan shook his head calmly. "My aunt is invincible, so she's all I need."

Plain-Skirt Destiny looked at Ye Guan with a faint smile. "Shall we play a game?"

Evidently, she was fond of Ye Guan sucking up to her.

"Yes," Ye Guan eagerly replied.

"You point; they die."

Ye Guan's eyes widened. "Really?"

The Slaughter Lord, standing nearby, stepped forward, grinning. "I'll go first—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Guan pointed at him.

A flash of light streaked through the air, and a sword pierced the Slaughter Lord's forehead. His grin froze as he collapsed to the ground. He was dead before he even realized it.

Everyone gasped in shock. It had taken just one strike—an instant kill.

Up in the starry sky, High Goddess Tianxuan and High Goddess Tianyun's expressions turned darker. Plain-Skirt Destiny was even more dangerous than they thought.

Ye Guan's gaze shifted to the Parting Sorrows' Ancestor. Startled, he summoned the Scroll of Parting Sorrows, an artifact holding the Great Dao laws of an entire universe region.

The Scroll of Parting Sorrows could enhance him and suppress his enemies.

The instant kill told him that this was his only chance to survive.

The moment he brought forward the Scroll of Parting Sorrows, a sword sliced through the air, tearing it apart. A split second later, a sword pierced his head. His eyes then widened in disbelief as he crumbled into nothingness.

Desperate, the Time Lady transformed into a projection of the Time River, hoping to escape as fast as possible. In a blink, she moved across millions of worlds.

Just as she thought she had escaped, space blurred, and she was back where she started. Terror gripped her in an instant.

"How... how was that even possible?" she stammered.

Ye Guan pointed at her, and a sword pierced her. She could not resist at all, and her final moments were full of nothing but despair.

Powerful spacetime energy lurked around her but none were able to grow close. Neither her physique nor soul stood a chance against the lady in a plain skirt; it was like she was an ant in front of a god.

Just like that, she faded away into nothingness.

Just then, Ye Guan pointed at Master Guiwu. Prepared for this, he brought his palms together, and a brilliant Buddhist light illuminated the sky.

A sword flashed past him, and his heart jumped.

Reacting quickly, Master Guiwu activated his Karma Robe, and an invisible energy covered him. The Karma Robe was constructed by a great Buddha and could deflect all karma.

However, it was useless.

Shwing!

A sword sliced through him, killing him instantly.

Master Guiwu's mouth widened in disbelief, and he stammered, "I-Isn't this supposed to deflect karma? Why are you guys tricking monks, too..."

Just like that, Master Guiwu was no more.

Then, Ye Guan gazed at the Existing Dao.

The Existing Dao stood in place, silent. He made no attempt to escape, knowing that it was futile.

Unlike the rest, the Existing Dao was aware of Plain-Skirt Destiny's strength. Of course, he was not aware of the full extent of her power, but he knew that he stood no chance against her.

The Existing Dao looked at Qiu Baiyi. He finally understood Qiu Baiyi's intentions, but there was nothing he could do about it; he had lost the gamble.

The Existing Dao spread open his hand, and the Great Dao laws converged on him.

However, Ye Guan pointed at him.

Shwing!

A sword pierced the Existing Dao in place. Even the Great Dao was an ant before the lady in a plain skirt's sword.

The Existing Dao stared at Plain-Skirt Destiny with a stupefied look.

When he saw the Time Lady and the rest being killed, he knew he was going to die as well. Just as he was about to be erased, he released a mysterious energy to notify his master—the Yang family could not be provoked!

However, the message disappeared without a trace.

The Existing Dao stared at Plain-Skirt Destiny in disbelief. His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but he no longer had a chance.

Now, all that remained was Qiu Baiyi.

Ye Guan looked at him.

"Hahaha!" Qiu Baiyi burst out laughing. "Incredible, truly incredible!"

The next moment, Qiu Baiyi raised a hand. "Wait. Let me go first."

Ye Guan nodded and watched as Qiu Baiyi unsheathed a simple iron sword.

This unassuming sword was three feet long and two inches wide.

Ye Guan glanced at the sword in surprise, realizing that Qiu Baiyi was a swordsman.

Qiu Baiyi looked at the iron sword in his hand, and a forlorn look crossed his eyes as he recounted memories.

After a moment, he looked at Plain-Skirt Destiny in the distance and said, "When the Hall Masters were killed, I was very curious about your strength. So I plotted to make the Tianxing Civilization and Young Master Ye enemies.

"My goal is to use the Tianxing Civilization to force you out and witness your true power. Unfortunately, in that battle, Young Master Ye fought to the death without calling for help. Then, the two High Goddesses saw through my scheme..."

Qiu Baiyi shook his head. "What a pity."

His original intention was to use the Tianxing Civilization to fight against Ye Guan, forcing out his backers so he could gauge their strength. However, what he had never expected was Ye Guan refusing to call for help.

To make matters worse, he even became a Path Creation Realm expert.

By then, there was nothing Qiu Baiyi could do but ask for help.

Unfortunately, his helpers couldn't withstand even a single sword strike from Plain-Skirt Destiny. Thus, Qiu Baiyi was left with no choice but to step up himself.

Ye Guan realized something just then. Staring at Qiu Baiyi in disbelief, he questioned, "You did all this just to find out how strong my backers are?"

"Yes."

Ye Guan glanced at the iron sword in Qiu Baiyi's hand and then said, "The Existing Dao and the others couldn't force my aunt to make another move, so you still don't know her true strength.

"You can go ahead and find it out for yourself."

Qiu Baiyi laughed. "Yes."

With that, he stepped forward.

Boom!

A terrifying sword intent filled the heavens and the earth.

The foundation of Qiu Baiyi's sword dao was an evil dao, and he was the first swordsman to do that.

Ye Guan froze upon witnessing the power of Qiu Baiyi's sword intent.

Undoubtedly, Qiu Baiyi was the strongest swordsman he had ever encountered. Compared to the next strongest, Ye Xiuran, Qiu Baiyi's sword intent was leaps and bounds stronger than the former.

Qiu Baiyi's strength was undoubtedly on par with the two High Goddesses—no, he could be stronger than the two of them.

Qiu Baiyi walked up to Plain-Skirt Destiny with a smile. "The Existing Dao was the most powerful out of my helpers. I truly did not expect that even he couldn't force you to make a second move.

Boom!

Qiu Baiyi's fleshly body erupted into flames, and her aura skyrocketed.

Ye Guan frowned.

Boom!

Moments later, another pillar of flame erupted from within Qiu Baiyi, shooting straight into the sky. He had decided to ignite his soul as well. A terrifying wave of malicious energy spread across the entire world.

Evil Sword Intent!

Using the evil thoughts of all beings to forge his Sword Dao—this was the essence of the Evil Sword Intent.

Qiu Baiyi's power surged to terrifying heights. The sky crackled with countless sword intents and blood-red lightning and waves of overwhelming pressure rippled outwards.

However, none of it could approach Plain-Skirt Destiny or Ye Guan. Their surroundings remained peaceful and undisturbed as if nothing was happening.

But outside of that calm, the two High Goddesses were nervous.

They had always known Qiu Baiyi was holding back, but they never imagined he was this powerful. Even more shocking was that he was willing to burn both his body and soul...

Was he really prepared to sacrifice himself just to gauge Plain-Skirt Destiny's true strength?

Qiu Baiyi stopped in his tracks and smiled. "They say that you never strike twice. Today, I'd like to see you break that rule."
