Chapter 499: Is He Really Your Father?
Ye Guan grew uneasy upon receiving no response.
The woman wielding a colossal sword asked, “Is he really your father?”
Ye Guan was at a loss for words.
The woman wielding a colossal sword smirked coldly and leaped forward, slashing out with her colossal sword toward Ye Guan.
The sweep attack carried a force of a thousand charging armies capable of tearing through the heavens. Ye Guan gripped his fists tightly, and a terrifying sword intent burst out of him. He stomped with his right foot and charged.
Heavenrend—Space Overlap!
Ye Guan had no choice but to confront the woman wielding a colossal sword head-on, as the surrounding spacetime had been sealed, leaving him with no routes for retreat.
Boom!
Two sword lights erupted into a massive explosion upon colliding, and the powerful shockwave sent Ye Guan and the woman wielding a colossal sword tumbling away.
However, the woman wielding a colossal sword stopped less than a hundred meters away, while Ye Guan was sent flying at least a few hundred meters away.
Blood dripped down the corner of Ye Guan’s lip, and his right arm felt numb.
Swoosh!
A brass-colored beam of light suddenly flew out of the Ancient Heavenly Mirror, rushing straight toward Ye Guan. Ye Guan\'s pupils constricted—the brass-colored beam of light was even stronger than the woman wielding a colossal sword\'s attack!
Ye Guan quickly activated his two bloodlines. Then, he took to the air and used all his strength to unleash a sword move containing his current Heavenrend stack limit condensed into two Space Overlaps!
Hum!
A resonant sword hum echoed throughout heaven and earth. Immediately afterward, a radiant sword light collided with the brass-colored beam of light.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rocketed the entire realm, and the impact instantly sent Ye Guan tumbling away. The brass-colored beam of light persisted only for a brief moment before shattering with a resounding boom.
The woman wielding a colossal sword charged at Ye Guan in mid-air.
Even spacetime itself disintegrated beneath the might of the woman wielding a colossal sword\'s attack. Upon sensing the oncoming attack, Ye Guan\'s expression twisted into a fierce grin as he roared, "Bring it on!"
Ye Guan charged at the woman wielding a colossal sword and slashed out with the combined force of four Heavenrends in one sword move. A radiant sword light erupted in front of Ye Guan.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion occurred as a torrent of sword light surged, inundating Ye Guan and blasting him away. Just as he came to a halt, his fleshy body was torn apart, creating a bloody mist.
However, the woman wielding a colossal sword was forced back a considerable distance. Her gaze carried an unusual mix of solemnity upon realizing that Ye Guan\'s potential was greater than her initial thought.
If they gave Ye Guan a hundred years to cultivate...
A thick killing intent surged out of the woman wielding a colossal sword. Then, she jumped into the air and slashed out with her colossal sword toward Ye Guan. From the other side, a radiant burst of brass-colored beam of light flew across the sky.
Ye Guan smirked at the two attacks coming at him from both sides. In the next moment, an overwhelming sword force surged crazily within him. Then, he charged at the woman wielding a colossal sword with countless sword lights around him.
Clang!
A resonant clang echoed as Ye Guan flew away like a kite that had lost its strings.
Meanwhile, the brass-colored beam of light finally arrived.
Ye Guan\'s pupils constricted, and he braced himself for impact with his sword.
Bang!
The kaleidoscope of sword lights around Ye Guan shattered into innumerable light fragments, and he cut a sorry figure as he flew even farther, leaving a trail of annihilated spacetime in his wake.
Ye Guan quickly stabilized himself in mid-air and was horrified to find that he had lost his right arm, in addition to his severe injuries that were deep enough to reveal the gleaming white bones underneath.
If he had the Divine Tree of Nature, he would be able to endure a bit longer.
However, the Divine Tree of Nature was with Ye Qingqing.
The pincer attack had truly been devastating.
When the woman wielding a colossal sword saw the extent of Ye Guan\'s injuries, she immediately charged at him. Clearly, she didn\'t want to give him any time to recover. The woman took to the sky and gripped her colossal sword with both hands.
A powerful sword force erupted, briefly splitting the entire realm into two.
As the attack closed in on Ye Guan, he spread his left hand, and Xuanyuan flew into his left hand. He stared at the woman wielding a colossal sword before disappearing into a streak of sword light.
The final strike!
This was Ye Guan\'s final blow. His fleshy body and soul could no longer withstand any more hits from the woman wielding a colossal sword and the Ancient Heavenly Mirror.
Swoosh!
The air shrieked as a streak of sword light emerged from the sidelines, racing toward Ye Guan at breakneck speed. In the blink of an eye, it reached the woman wielding a colossal sword. Sensing the impending danger, the woman wielding a colossal sword swiveled and attacked the oncoming sword light.
The sword light shattered, but the woman wielding a colossal sword was blasted hundreds of meters away.
The streak of sword light was none other than Ye Qingqing, and she had roughly recovered from her wounds.
Ye Qingqing gracefully jumped into the air and pulled Ye Guan along as she transformed into a streak of sword light that disappeared into the horizon.
Just then, a brass-colored beam of light erupted from the Ancient Heavenly Mirror and chased after them.
Ye Qingqing thrust her sword toward the brass-colored beam of light. A resonant hum echoed as her sword transformed into a streak of light that struck the brass-colored beam of light, shattering it into pieces.
Ye Qingqing, holding Ye Guan with her left hand, spun around and flew away. With a gentle raise of her right hand, the distant sword transformed into a streak of light that flew back to her. Ye Qingqing slashed forward, creating a rift in spacetime. Then, she brought Ye Guan into the spacetime rift.
The woman wielding a colossal sword’s expression turned grim. "That woman is still injured! Chase them!"
The woman wielding a colossal sword transformed into a streak of sword light and gave chase. The rest of the Time Reversers followed closely behind her.
Ye Qingqing and Ye Guan appeared in the Time River, and Ye Qingqing flew as fast as she could across the Time River. Perhaps due to her injuries, Ye Qingqing appeared somewhat pale.
Ye Guan glanced at Ye Guan and saw that he was in a miserable condition. He had even lost his right arm. Ye Qingqing\'s face darkened at the sight, and a hint of cold killing intent flickered in her eyes.
Moments later, she took a deep breath and said, "You need healing."
The Divine Tree of Nature flew out of her glabella and melted into Ye Guan\'s glabella.
Ye Guan shook his head. "Aunt, your injuries—"
"I\'m fine!" Ye Qingqing exclaimed.
Ye Guan was astonished. He wanted to say something, but Ye Qingqing\'s eyebrows creased as she snapped, "Stop babbling and heal yourself!"
Ye Qingqing then threw Ye Guan into the world inside the tiny pagoda. Ye Guan lay still in the tiny pagoda, allowing the Divine Tree of Nature to heal him.
Eventually, he broke the silence with a whisper, “Qianqian.”
There was no reply, and Ye Guan immediately panicked. “Qianqian?!”
Ao Qianqian\'s reply came belatedly, "Mm."
Relieved, Ye Guan swiftly retrieved spiritual cores to speed up their healing.
Ye Guan’s mind raced as he lay still. At this rate, the three of them would end up dying, so they desperately needed reinforcements. Ye Guan suddenly felt anxious at the thought, as he had no idea about the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe\'s current status.
At first, he was confident that the two universes could handle the Time Reversers, but Ye Guan lost confidence in that assumption upon realizing that the Time Reversers seemed to be getting stronger.
To make matters worse, there was a seemingly endless number of them.
They were unlike any enemies Ye Guan had ever faced, and the white-robed lady from the Past Clan was particularly terrifying.
Ye Guan frowned just then and thought, Where did the Great Daoist Brush Master go? Where are our reinforcements? Did he run away after sensing the impending danger?
Ye Guan shook his head with a sigh. Despite Ye Qingqing\'s earlier assurance of reinforcements, there was still no sign of them. It seemed likely that the Time Reversers had successfully intercepted them.
Ye Guan didn\'t know the numbers of the Time Reversers, but he could only assume the worst. After all, it was no easy task to stop the supreme elites of the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe from going anywhere.
Ye Qingqing suddenly materialized in front of Ye Guan.
Ye Guan froze, surprised by her arrival.
"We\'re currently in an unknown realm," Ye Qingqing said, "It\'s going to take them a while to locate us. However, they are not to be underestimated, and I reckon that they\'ll soon find us.”
"How\'s your recovery going?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Ye Guan replied, "I\'m about halfway there."
"That\'s a relief."
Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing the Divine Tree of Nature.
"What are you thinking about?” Ye Qingqing asked, frowning.
"The three of us should heal at the same time,” Ye Guan said, infusing the Divine Tree of Nature with spiritual energy. A wave of green light burst out of the Divine Tree of Nature, and it enveloped the three of them.
Ye Qingqing nodded and began absorbing the Divine Tree of Nature\'s force of nature.
Ye Guan\'s mouth fluttered open to speak, but Ye Qingqing beat him to the chase, saying, "More and more powerful people will come for us.”
A shadow loomed over Ye Guan\'s face as he asked, "What about our people?"
Ye Qingqing met his gaze and replied, "It seems like there\'s no one left."
Ye Guan sounded solemn as he mumbled, "The Great Daoist Brush Master—”
Ye Qingqing shook her head. "I think he\'s in trouble as well. That woman can foresee what he can foresee."
"\'That woman\'? Are you talking about that white-robed woman?"
Ye Qingqing nodded.
Ye Guan\'s expression darkened. The Great Daoist Brush Master was strong, but he seemed powerless against the white-robed woman.
Ye Qingqing suggested, "We need to find a way back to the Guanxuan Universe and regroup with Slaughter and the others."
"Just the three of us?" Ye Guan asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Ye Qingqing nodded and raised an eyebrow. "Afraid?"
Ye Guan admitted, "They have reinforcements..."
Ye Qingqing fell silent.
Earlier, Ye Qingqing had only managed to intervene, as she had been lurking in the dark. Otherwise, the other Time Reversers would have stopped her dead in her tracks, which meant Ye Guan could have lost his life!
They truly wanted to kill Ye Guan—their goal was Ye Guan\'s death!
"If I were that woman, I would surely be convinced that we\'d retreat..."
Ye Qingqing narrowed her eyes, asking, "Are you suggesting that retreating means playing into that woman\'s hands?”
Ye Guan nodded.
"So..." Ye Guan trailed off, meeting Ye Qingqing\'s gaze. They smiled knowingly at each other. There was no need for Ye Guan to complete his sentence as they had a mutual understanding—they were on the same page!
No retreat! They would resist the flow of time and fly against it!
