I Have A Sword

Chapter 776: Nine Blood-Red Coffins

Powerful backers?

Dai Zong and the others glanced at him and snickered. Clearly, they didn't think too much of Ye Guan's backers.

The man in black, however, was furious, thinking that Ye Guan was mocking him. He immediately activated his saber intent, and a seemingly endless surge of saber intent flooded out of him.

The surrounding spacetime trembled, but he didn’t make a move.

After all, he was seriously injured and was greatly weakened.

The mysterious statue was there as well, and he was afraid of it.

He could also feel that the statue hadn't used its full strength.

The man in black glared coldly at Ye Guan, forcibly suppressing his killing intent. He then silently retreated to the side, positioning himself close to the door, ready to flee at any moment.

Although they were in the ruins of a Tier Four civilization with plenty of opportunities to seize, what were opportunities if he was dead?Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

The others cast curious gazes at the statue, wondering why the statue didn't attack Ye Guan and Yi Nian.

Dai Zong looked at Ye Guan and smiled. “Can you tell this statue that we are good people and that it shouldn't attack us?”

Ye Guan laughed. “To be honest, I don't know why it didn’t attack us, but I think it's because we're humble...”

With that, he looked at the man in black and suggested, “How about you give it another try?”

Hearing Ye Guan’s words, the man in black's face turned sullen, and he stared at Ye Guan with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

Dai Zong laughed heartily and then looked at the man in black. “You should try it again, but be more humble this time.”

The man in black’s face was extremely dark and grim. Unfortunately, he could no longer escape as the experts behind Dai Zong had marked him with their divine sense.

If he were to flee, they'd definitely strike him down.

However, he was also too weak to withstand another attack from the statue.

Thinking of this, the man in black truly hated Ye Guan, wishing he could tear the latter apart on the spot.

Dai Zong sneered and asked, “What, do you need me to invite you personally?”

The man in black looked at Dai Zong. “I have no grudge against you; why are you targeting me?”

“Because you're the weakest here," Dai Zong replied calmly.

The man in black’s face turned incredibly ugly. He pointed at Ye Guan in the distance and exclaimed, “They're weaker than me! They're from a Tier One civilization, too!”

"You believed him just because he said that he's from a Tier One civilization?" Dai Zong asked.

The man in black was stunned.

Dai Zong shook his head and added, “If he were really from a Tier One civilization, he wouldn't be here, nor would he dare to come here. Fool, have you not noticed that he's been pretending to be weak?”

The man in black was dumbfounded. He turned to look at Ye Guan, who appeared to be honest and innocent on the outside. Was he really pretending to be weak?

Now that he thought about it, would someone from a Tier One civilization even dare to come here?

If he truly were as weak as his cultivation base was telling everyone, how could he remain so calm and composed around people like them?

Meanwhile, Dai Zong turned to Ye Guan and smiled. “Am I right?”

“You asked this man in black to test the statue, but you actually wanted to see if I would step in. Is that right?”

Dai Zong burst out into a peal of boisterous laughter.

The man in black felt even worse. How could he not finally understand what was going on? The people of the Junlin civilization wanted to test the young swordsman’s strength.

They were wary and didn’t want to make a move without understanding the situation, so they used him to provoke the young swordsman, knowing that he'd target who seemed to be the weakest among them—Ye Guan.

Ye Guan. "..."

Just then, the lady in white extended her right hand and began doing something.

The blood-red coffin in front of her trembled slightly, and the mysterious symbols on it transformed into tens of thousands of runes, which rearranged themselves under her control.

Ye Guan’s expression changed. She was trying to break the seal.

Everyone was transfixed on the lady in white.

After an unknown amount of time, the lady in white's pupils suddenly contracted into pinpoints.

Ye Guan immediately grabbed Yi Nian and retreated.

Rumble!

A powerful deluge of sword intent erupted from him, forming a protective barrier in front of him.

Just then, a terrifying force burst out from the symbols on the blood-red coffin, blasting everyone away.

Boom!

Ye Guan was prepared, but he was still blasted several kilometers away.

When he stopped, he was stupefied to see that his Invincible Sword Intent was actually dissipating at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Ye Guan’s face darkened. He had tempered his sword intent using a Universe Tribulation, so it was supposed to be indestructible.

Ye Guan reckoned that even a supreme elite with a hundred percent divinity couldn't break it.

Ye Guan wasn’t severely injured, and it was all thanks to the barrier he made at the last second.

Meanwhile, the lady in white was unscathed despite being the closest to the blast.

A mysterious shield had sprung up, protecting her from harm.

However, the people behind her weren’t as fortunate as her.

They were all blasted kilometers away, cutting sorry figures in midair.

The man in black suffered the worst injuries. His fleshly body had cracked open, and he was bleeding from all orifices.

He was in a mess, and his head was buzzing as if he had been struck by a hammer.

Dai Zong was no longer smiling. His expression was solemn, as he could smell the thick miasma of danger in the air.

Ye Guan looked up at the nine blood-red coffins. They lay there quietly, but alarm bells were ringing in his head, informing him of the impending danger.

Ye Guan had been uneasy since he arrived here, and he also felt like he was being observed from somewhere.

He looked around the desolate starry sky but found nothing.

Setting his worries aside, he grabbed Yi Nian and said, “Let’s go!”

He was curious about this Tier Four civilization, but he was too weak to have anything to do with it.

With that in mind, he decisively chose to leave.

Yi Nian glanced at Ye Guan and didn’t object, letting him lead her away.

Just as they were about to step out of the stone door, it abruptly closed, and the light from the nearby stars vanished, plunging the region into complete darkness.

It was so dark that only the nine coffins—glowing in a sinister blood-red hue—in the distance were visible.

Ye Guan’s face turned grim.
