Chapter 490: Meaningless Words
The middle-aged man\'s eyes narrowed as he roared, “Defend!”
The Time Reversers pooled their profound energy together to create a barrier against Ye Guan\'s sword slash.
Boom!
The barrier shattered instantly, and the Time Reversers at the helm couldn\'t withstand the sword slash. The rest were pushed away. It was just one sword move, but it contained a terrifying might!
Ye Guan moved through the crowd like a whirlwind. Each swing of his sword sent torrents of crimson sword light flying toward the Time Reversers. His sword was sharp and swift, cutting everything in its path and leaving a trail of destruction.
The middle-aged man\'s expression darkened upon realizing that Ye Guan had gotten significantly stronger. Ye Guan was already powerful, but now, he seemed unstoppable. To make matters worse, Ye Guan\'s bloodline power was still surging.
The middle-aged man found the sight to be extremely surreal.
The woman in black glanced at Ye Guan, and a smile spread across her cold, beautiful face. When she turned toward Diyi Gu, her warm smile instantly became as cold as an icy cavern.
Diyi Gu suddenly felt an inexplicable chill while he was staring at Ye Guan. When he turned to the woman in black, he was astonished to find that she had already transformed into a streak of sword light and was speeding toward him.
Diyi Gu was flustered, but he dared not confront the woman head-on.
He controlled the tiny black cauldron, making sure that it would protect him.
BOOM!
A deafening noise echoed and was quickly followed by a crisp noise—the tiny black cauldron had shattered; it couldn\'t withstand the force behind the woman in black\'s sword.
Fear marred Diyi Gu\'s face, and he retreated as fast as possible.
However, an even faster sword light made a beeline for him.
Diyi Gu\'s pupils constricted, sensing his impending doom. He couldn\'t dodge the oncoming sword light, but he had to do something if he wanted to survive.
Diyi Gu clenched his fists and swung them forward, unleashing a torrent of multi-colored lights. The sheer power of his fists tore spacetime apart.
And that was when the woman in black swung downward.
Boom!
The myriad of multi-colored lights shattered, and Diyi Gu flew a few kilometers away.
Diyi Gu\'s fleshy body disintegrated slowly, and the woman in black swung once more.
Diyi Gu’s pupils constricted at the sight—his fate was sealed!
Diyi Gu gave up. He didn\'t even bother moving, as there wasn\'t anything he could do but accept his death. Against absolute power, willpower and one\'s thoughts were meaningless after all.
Swoosh!
A spear descended just then, intercepting the sword at lightning speed.
Boom!
An explosion erupted a few kilometers away, and the Time Reversers were blown away upon getting hit by the shockwave.
The woman in black looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a flowing robe. The middle-aged man\'s gaze was sharp, and his hair draped over his shoulder. His right hand was holding a spear, and he was emitting an imposing spear intent.
The middle-aged man was none other than Diyi Ming—ranked third in the Diyi Clan.
He was just below Diyi Yong and the Clan Leader, Diyi Qing.
Diyi Gu breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the woman in black, and he sounded serious as he said, "That woman is strong, Third Brother. Do not underestimate her."
Diyi Ming\'s gaze was solemn as he stared at the woman in black. However, his eyes were devoid of fear. Rather, there was a profound battle intent within his gaze.
The Diyi Clan wasn\'t invincible, but they were above many other clans. However, their attempt to assassinate Ye Guan gave them many surprises. They had discovered that the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe had many supreme elites behind the scenes.
Diyi Ming\'s mouth fluttered open to speak, but the woman in black transformed into a streak of sword light that rushed toward Diyi Ming.
Diyi Ming\'s eyes narrowed, and he dashed forward instead of retreating. His figure trembled as he transformed into a streak of spear light.
Diyi Ming made a beeline for the streak of sword light—he had decided to confront the woman in black head-on!
Kaboom!
A thunderous explosion echoed. Diyi Ming was blasted hundreds of kilometers away, and before he could even stabilize himself, another sword strike was already descending upon him.
The sword light seemed as fast as lightning in everyone else\'s eyes, but in Diyi Ming\'s eyes, it moved as leisurely and slowly as a turtle. It was a phenomenon brought upon by the Laws of Time!
Fear filled Diyi Ming\'s heart; he truly didn\'t expect that the woman in black had mastered the laws of time.
This only meant one thing—the woman in black had grasped the Dao!
Diyi Ming abandoned all thoughts of fighting back and retreated as fast as possible.
And that was when the sword abruptly sped up.
Boom!
A burst of sword light erupted, and Diyi Ming flew hundreds of kilometers away.
Diyi Ming was horrified to find that his fleshly body had disintegrated in mid-air and that he had been reduced to nothing but a fragile soul.
Diyi Gu\'s eyes were wide open as he stared at the ridiculous sight. Even Third Brother couldn\'t withstand the woman in black\'s attacks?
The woman in black lifted her sword and transformed into a streak of light that streaked across the sky. With a sword in hand, she assumed a stance to attack once more.
Diyi Ming\'s pupils constricted. He tried to move, but the woman in black\'s sword pierced his forehead before he could even do anything.
Boom!
Diyi Ming was immobilized. The woman in black glared coldly at Diyi Ming.
Diyi Ming wanted to say something, but the woman in black slashed down.
Bam!
Diyi Ming was no more!
The woman in black spat coldly, "I can\'t stand those who waste their final breaths on meaningless words!"
The woman in black opened her palm, and her sword appeared in her hand.
Then, she stared at Diyi Gu down below.
Diyi Gu\'s mouth fluttered open to speak, but he was horrified to find that the woman in black had vanished. Before any words could emerge from his mouth, a sword pierced his glabella.
Slash!
The woman in black waved her sleeve, killing Diyi Gu. Afterward, she turned her attention to the unfolding chaos in the distance where Ye Guan was conducting his frenzied slaughter.
Ye Guan\'s strength had taken a massive leap after his breakthrough in both cultivation base and sword cultivation base.
He had become so strong that the Time Reverses didn\'t dare to face his sword.
The woman in black silently observed Ye Guan. Ye Guan\'s performance had truly surprised her.
In addition, Ye Guan had become so powerful that it was almost unbelievable. Of course, Ye Guan\'s Mad Demon Bloodline was a huge part of the reason behind Ye Guan\'s current strength.
Moreover, Ye Guan\'s Mad Demon Bloodline was like an upgraded version of his grandfather\'s Mad Demon Bloodline. Under normal circumstances, a family would usually have only one extraordinary ancestor, but the Yang Family boasted two.
Ye Guan reaped a ton of profit by having such two powerful ancestors—both in bloodline and connections.
Ye Guan\'s Mad Demon Bloodline seemed to have infinite potential. It appeared that there wasn\'t any limit to how much bloodline power he could unleash as long as he allowed the Mad Demon Bloodline to take over his sanity.
The bloodline power would also become even stronger the more he used it. In other words, Ye Guan could truly fight endlessly by becoming a lunatic.
Of course, becoming a lunatic was a drawback, but it meant Ye Guan would transform into an indefatigable killing machine. In addition, the more he killed, the more powerful he would become.
The Time Reversers had already lost all will to fight, and their morale plummeted to the abyss upon witnessing the deaths of the Diyi Clan brothers. If the woman in black and Ye Guan were to join forces, they would be completely powerless against them.
The middle-aged man commanded decisively, "Retreat!"
The crowd scampered off, fleeing for their lives.
Ye Guan wasted no time and chased after them with his sword in hand.
The True Tree wouldn\'t allow him to run out of spiritual energy, so he could fight for as long as he wanted. The woman in black didn\'t stop Ye Guan, and she even followed him.
Stop him? Why would she stop him?
Let the slaughter continue!
The woman in black wanted to let him have a joyful slaughter.
The faces of the Time Reversers soured at the sight of Ye Guan chasing after them.
A young man was actually hunting them down—supreme Time Reversers!
The Time Reversers felt ashamed at the harsh reality.
Unfortunately, there wasn\'t really anything they could do, as none of them were willing to go all out. The Time Reversers believed that if all of them were to go all-out, they would stand a chance against Ye Guan. Unfortunately, they all feared death and were unwilling to sacrifice themselves for others.
They had been playing tricks while fighting Ye Guan, hoping that someone else would charge forward, allowing them to reap the rewards effortlessly. This was precisely the reason Ye Guan grew bolder with each exchange.
The Time Reversers were unwilling to go all out and were afraid of death; they preferred to scheme against their fellow Time Reversers and avoided a direct confrontation at all costs, hoping others would sacrifice themselves for their gains.
The Time Reversers were supposed to join forces against Ye Guan, but their nature didn\'t allow them to do that. Instead, they focused on running, thinking that others would do the dirty work for them. Clearly, they were all selfish and afraid of death.
Of course, the woman in black behind Ye Guan was part of the reason they had chosen to retreat desperately rather than unite and fight Ye Guan. Everyone reckoned that the woman in black was much stronger than them combined!
Ye Guan pushed his speed to the limit to chase after the Time Reversers in the Time River. It didn\'t take him long to kill a dozen Time Reversers.
The woman in black quietly followed after Ye Guan.
However, even without the woman in black\'s intervention, the Time Reversers could no longer fight, as they were utterly terrified of Ye Guan.
Just like that, Ye Guan chased after the Time Reversers.
Thirty minutes later, the woman in black abruptly came to a halt. She looked up and stared at the end of the Time River. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed as if she had discovered something, and she exclaimed, "Child, stop!"
The woman in black\'s figure blurred as she rushed toward Ye Guan.
