Chapter 1029: That Sneaky Guy
After a long while, the stars faded, and Ye Guan stood alone amidst the starry void, his figure engulfed in flames. The flames were the lingering energy from the meteors!
He closed his eyes, allowing the flames to burn his body. After a short time, the flames disappeared, and a terrifying aura surged from within him.
He had been devouring and assimilating the meteors\' energy!
Ye Guan had done nothing but fight the meteors, absorbing their boundless energy. His sword intent and his fleshly body improved tremendously as a result. Upon closer inspection, a faint star light seemed to shimmer beneath his skin.
Not only had his fleshly body been strengthened, but his sword intent had also seen significant improvement.
Just then, another wave of meteors appeared in the distant reaches of the starry sky.
Ye Guan\'s eyes lit up with excitement. To him, these meteors were nourishment! This time, instead of waiting for the meteors to approach, he transformed into a streak of sword light and charged forward.
Swoosh!
He tore through spacetime and sliced countless meteors into pieces.
Down below, a man in a long robe observed Ye Guan and was surprised by what he saw. Ye Guan\'s growth had exceeded his expectations, especially in terms of sword intent.
Ye Guan\'s sword intent was already quite pure, but for an expert of his level, that level of purity was still far from sufficient. Fortunately, the grueling training had improved his sword intent.
Of course, it could still become even stronger!
At present, Ye Guan still couldn\'t contend with all the meteors. He could only handle a small portion of them at a time.
In the vast starry sky, Ye Guan fought back against the meteors, becoming more and more energized as he fought.
***
Ever since the Great Sorcerer Clan had issued a challenge to the Great Zhou, all of their experts had been on high alert, waiting for Ye Guan and the experts of the Tianxing Civilization to arrive and respond to the challenge.
The Grand Sorcerer Clan had sent out its most formidable forces, led by Wu Daotian.
The Grand Sect Master of the Evil Dao Alliance stood not too far away from Wu Daotian.
The Grand Sect Master was quite surprised by the strength of the Great Sorcerer Clan. Although the two sides were working together, they had yet to fully understand each other. Seeing the other party\'s full strength, the Grand Sect Master realized that their experts were far superior to the low-rank experts of the Evil Dao Alliance.
And there was also the High Priest...
How powerful was the High Priest? The Grand Sect Master could not put a finger on his strength.
The Grand Sect Master turned to look at the distant depths of the starry sky.
The array prepared by the Great Sorcerer Clan to deal with the Founding Ancestor of the Tianxing Civilization was hidden above.
The Grand Sect Master was quite curious about this array, as it was designed by the High Priest to specifically counter the Founding Ancestor of the Tianxing Civilization. From the High Priest\'s words at the time, it also seemed that he had encountered someone from a Tier Six Civilization before.
Thinking of that, the Grand Sect Master frowned deeply. He had yet to make any contact with someone from a Tier Six Civilization, but he knew that they existed.
Furthermore, the Evil Spirit God, the Evil Dao Ancestor, and the First Hall Master had interacted with Tier Six Civilizations before. In fact, it was possible that the First Hall Master and the Evil Dao Ancestor were from Tier Six Civilizations.
The Grand Sect Master was then reminded of the lady in a plain skirt and the man in a white robe.
Could those two also be from a Tier Six Civilization? He shook his head. He didn\'t know whether they were from a Tier Six Civilization, but he was certain that they were absurdly powerful.
"Haha." Wu Daotian suddenly laughed and asked, "Why are you shaking your head, Grand Sect Master?"
The Grand Sect Master glanced at Wu Daotian and calmly replied, "I was just laughing at how Ye Guan and the Tianxing Civilization are overestimating themselves."
Wu Daotian chuckled, "Actually, the Tianxing Civilization isn\'t that weak. If it weren\'t for their internal conflict, dealing with both Fu Wu and Jing Chu would give us a real headache."
The Grand Sect Master nodded in agreement. He was also deeply wary of those women. If Fu Wu and Jing Chu had joined forces at their peak strength, they would have been able to break through any obstacle.
Wu Daotian suddenly asked, "Grand Sect Master, have you ever met that lady in a plain skirt?"
The Grand Sect Master shook his head. "No, I haven\'t."
Wu Daotian frowned. "You haven\'t?"
The Grand Sect Master nodded.
Wu Daotian fell silent. As he had mentioned, he had always considered Ye Guan to be an extraordinary figure. To have such strength at such a young age, he was an outstanding genius, even among the younger generation of the Great Sorcerer Clan.
Someone like him had to have powerful backers. Moreover, the Evil Dao Alliance suffered great losses upon becoming enemies with Ye Guan. Those three swordsmen were making him feel uneasy.
The Grand Sect Master reassured, "Clan Leader Wu, you need not worry."
Wu Daotian asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The Grand Sect Master calmly said, "The people backing Ye Guan surely aren\'t weak. After all, it takes someone extraordinary to nurture a genius like him, but no matter their strength, could they be stronger than the Tianxing Civilization or the Great Sorcerer Clan? Absolutely not, it\'s impossible."
Wu Daotian remained silent for a moment before laughing. "True."
Wu Daotian then shook his head and chuckled at himself, realizing that he had been overthinking things. No matter how strong Ye Guan\'s backers were, could they really be stronger than both the Tianxing Civilization and the Great Sorcerer Clan?
As long as they weren\'t from a Tier Six Civilization, they could easily be crushed.
Rumble!
The distant starry sky churned.
Wu Daotian snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the horizon.
A lady slowly emerged from a rift in spacetime.
It was Jing Chu.
Zhan Qing hadn\'t appeared, as she wanted to catch the Grand Sorcerer Clan off guard. After all, they still had no idea that he had already escaped from the Boundless Spacetime.
Seeing Jing Chu all by herself, Wu Daotian frowned. "She\'s alone?"
The Grand Sect Master glanced at Jing Chu but remained silent.
Jing Chu calmly walked up to the Great Sorcerer Clan elites and looked directly at Wu Daotian. "Wu Daotian, one-on-one?"
A duel!
"Hahaha!" Wu Daotian laughed. "I\'ve always been curious about just how strong the Chief Enforcement Officer of the Tianxing Civilization is!"
"Come here, then," Jing Chu said blandly. Then, her figure flashed as she rushed toward Wu Daotian.
Wu Daotian turned to the elderly man in white robes holding a bone staff and said, "Elder Wu, stay on alert."
Then, he transformed into a beam of light and charged at Jing Chu.!
Soon, explosions echoed from the starry skies.
The Grand Sect Master looked up and frowned. Jing Chu had immediately dominated the fight as soon as it began. His expression turned serious, realizing that Jing Chu\'s strength had improved.
However, this wasn\'t too surprising, as Jing Chu and Fu Wu had almost killed each other before they fought against both the Evil Dao Alliance and the Great Sorcerer Clan together, which ended in them barely escaping with their lives.
For someone of her level, it was only natural for her strength to improve after such an ordeal. Considering Jing Chu\'s level of strength, even the slightest improvement would be extremely terrifying.
The Grand Sect Master quickly withdrew his gaze and looked around, puzzled. Where\'s Ye Guan? Could that sneaky guy be plotting something?
Meanwhile, the experts of the Great Sorcerer Clan had grim expressions while watching the fight. They hadn\'t expected that their clan leader would be suppressed so easily.
Wu Daotian\'s face darkened. He thought his strength was on par with Jing Chu\'s, so he was taken off guard by her fearsome strength.
He had never really fought Jing Chu directly until now, as the Evil Spirit God and the Holy Kings had held her back. Knowing her strength, he thought he could make an impressive display of power, but his plan had backfired; he was the one being overpowered.
Jing Chu wasn\'t holding back; she genuinely intended to kill Wu Daotian. Her overwhelming martial intent engulfed the starry skies, shattering spacetime beneath its immense pressure.
Wu Daotian\'s expression grew serious as he struggled to hold his ground. He could barely counterattack, while Jing Chu was growing stronger with each strike. Each punch she threw left Wu Daotian in greater agony.
The elite warriors of the Great Sorcerer Clan frowned even more as they watched the battle unfold. Although they wanted to intervene, they could not, as this was supposed to be a one-on-one duel.
Rumble!
The void trembled violently, and Wu Daotian was forced to retreat; the spacetime behind him erupted into flames.
The warriors from the Great Sorcerer Clan became visibly anxious.
Swoosh!
Jing Chu vanished from sight.
Boom!
A terrifying martial intent surged through the void like a flood, rushing straight toward Wu Daotian.
Wu Daotian\'s face turned pale with fear. Jing Chu was trying to kill him. Wu Daotian threw all caution to the wind and opened his palm, revealing a bull-shaped helmet. He activated it, and the helmet unleashed a dreadful, evil aura that swept across the battlefield.
Jing Chu\'s martial intent was instantly pushed back. From a distance, Jing Chu noticed this, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She glanced at the bull-shaped helmet in Wu Daotian\'s hands and frowned slightly.
Wu Daotian looked back at her with a grim face. Just as Jing Chu was about to make another move, Wu Daotin said, "Chief Enforcement Officer Jing Chu, when two experts are fighting, there\'s no need to go too far. Neither of us can kill the other, so there\'s no point in wasting more time here."
Wu Daotian glanced at the experts from the Great Sorcerer Clan below. One by one, they soared into the sky and gathered in the starry sky, ready to engage in a group fight.
However, Jing Chu showed no fear at all and was about to strike again.
Hum!
A resonant sword hum echoed from behind her.
It was Ye Guan!
Jing Chu was surprised to see him; he hadn\'t expected him to arrive so quickly.
When the Grand Sect Master saw Ye Guan, his eyelid twitched. Without any hesitation, he turned around and disappeared into the depths of the starry sky, making a quick escape.
It was better to run while he could still do so.
If he were to stay here any longer, he wouldn\'t get the chance to leave later.
