I Have A Sword

Chapter 922: Plain-Skirt Destiny; Ordinary and Unremarkable

Bury you all together? Yang Ye laughed upon hearing the Third Hall Master's words. Before he could act, Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Dad, let me handle this."

Yang Ye smiled and replied, "Al; right."

Ye Xuan then turned to face the Third Hall Master.

Just then, Dao Emperor Zhaowu stepped forward with a smile. "So, you're Ye Guan's father?"

"Yes," Ye Xuan replied, "I'm his biological father."

Ye Guan was speechless.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu sized Ye Xuan up. "I heard that you're beyond the Path Creation Realm?"

Ye Xuan responded with a hint of interest. "What? Do you want to give me some pointers or something?"

"I hate how pretentious you sound and that calm, collected facade of yours," Dao Emperor Zhaowu said. Then, he stepped forward and threw a punch.

It was a punch that contained the full might of his cultivation base! He felt that he needed to kill someone, or the Third Hall Master would steal the spotlight.

Today was supposed to be his stage, and no one could steal his spotlight!

Dao Emperor Zhaowu went all-out, intending to kill Ye Xuan with a single blow to regain his dominance.

In the face of Dao Emperor Zhaowu's terrifying punch, Ye Xuan merely chuckled and pointed at it.

Schwing!

A sword was unsheathed, and a sword pierced Dao Emperor Zhaowu's forehead.

Boom!

The terrifying power of his punch vanished without a trace.

Everyone went silent.

He had been defeated just like that?

The eyes of the Tianwu Clan's people widened in shock.

Wuma Xing froze, and his mind went completely blank.

Tianwu Xin's face was ashen, and she started trembling like an aspen tree.

Meanwhile, the Coffin Emperor quietly positioned himself behind Ye Guan and his cohort. At first glance, it looked like he had always been on Ye Guan's side from the very beginning.

After a brief moment of shock, Li Ming suddenly jumped in front of Tianwu Shi and Wuma Xing. He grinned and even wiggled his hips. "What's wrong? Why do you both look like you've lost your mothers? Come on, where's that smile?! Hahaha!"

Tianwu Shi and Wuma Xing were both at a loss for words.

The Third Hall Master frowned deeply, and her eyes showed a hint of shock.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was in the Path Annihilation Realm. Even though his power was somewhat exaggerated, he was still a Path Annihilation Realm cultivator nonetheless.

A single sword strike had killed a Path Annihilation Realm cultivator?

The Third Hall Master's expression grew increasingly serious as she stared at Ye Xuan, realizing that she had underestimated Ye Xuan's strength.

Dao Jun and the people of the Great Zhou were shocked as well.

They didn't expect Dao Emperor Zhaowu's defeat to come so quickly. However, they were excited as well. They didn't think that Young Master Ye's father would be so formidable as well.

Ci Tian clasped his hands together, glancing at the shocked Heavenly Ruler Demon and the others nearby.

"Everyone, do not be shocked. They are our people, and they're from my Burning Heaven Temple, too!"

Dao Jun, Prime Minister Yuan, and even the Emperor of the Great Zhou looked at Ci Tian in astonishment.

"Young Master Ye's father is my father, too—" Ci Tian was immediately stunned after saying that. Fuck! What the fuck did I just say?

Everyone was speechless.

Ye Guan ignored everyone and went to Emperor Yong's side. He used the Qingxuan Sword to protect his soul and sighed in relief.

He then took out a Dao Fruit and fed it to Emperor Yong. Then, he turned to look at Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu's eyes were wide with disbelief. "How is this possible?! How can this be..."

Dao Emperor Zhaowu felt like he was going crazy.

Dao Empero Zhaowu closed his eyes. The gazes of the people he had summoned to witness his glory pierced his back. Today was supposed to be a glorious day for him, but it turned out to be the opposite.

He was defeated twice instantly and could not even fight back.

A wave of shame surged from the depths of his heart. Unable to bear the humiliation any longer, he raised his hand and slapped his own forehead.

Boom!

Dao Emperor Zhaowu's fleshly body and soul were both annihilated. He had chosen to end his own life.

The crowd fell silent.

A once peerless figure had ended his own life because he couldn't endure the humiliation. It was a lamentable sight.

The Tianwu Clan and the Wuma Clan became clear-headed after witnessing the Dao Emperor's demise, and then they were overcome with despair—a profound sense of hopelessness.

Surrendering was no longer an option, but neither was fighting to the death.

They stood no chance, after all.

To make matters worse, their ancestors in the sky were just mere avatars.

Even if their true bodies were present in peak condition, they would still be no match. After all, even at their peak, they were far inferior to Dao Emperor Zhaowu, who had just been killed far too easily.

Soon, everyone turned their gaze toward the Third Hall Master, pinning their hopes on the Evil Dao Alliance.

The Evil Dao Alliance was their final ray of hope!

Ye Xuan was powerful, but the Third Hall Master was no weakling either.

There was still hope for then!

The Tianwu Clan and the others felt as if they had grabbed onto a random straw while drowning, finding a glimmer of hope once more.

Meanwhile, Li Ming couldn't stop grinning, constantly showing off in front of the Tianwu Clan, infuriating them to the point where their faces turned green.

However, they could not do anything to him.

Li Han also breathed a sigh of relief. In truth, he had been under tremendous pressure, especially when the Third Hall Master appeared. He had felt utterly hopeless. The Third Hall Master was just terrifying.

Just when things seemed bleak, the tables were turned.

Brother Ye's father had turned out to be incredibly formidable.

A rare smile tugged at Li Han's lips.

If regret was a book, then Jimo Lan would be the protagonist of that book. Jimo Lan's face turned pale as a sheet of paper upon seeing Dao Emperor Zhaowu's demise, and a tidal wave of regret swept across her heart.

She had made the wrong decision, missing out on an exceptional opportunity—one that could have changed her fate and the fate of the Jimo Clan.

Ye Xuan opened his palm, and Dao Emperor Zhaowu's storage ring flew into his hand. He smiled before passing it to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan hurriedly accepted the ring and said, "Thank you, Father."

"Why thank me? Isn't it only right for a father to help his son? Don't you think that fathers who don't help their sons are deadbeats?" Ye Xuan remarked.

Yang Ye's face darkened.

Ye Guan froze as well. Damn it! Why ask me that? How am I supposed to answer that?

Fortunately, the Third Hall Master stepped forward, drawing everyone's attention.

Ye Xuan had no intention of putting his son in a difficult position. He looked at the Third Hall Master, saying, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to bury our whole family together. Are you planning to fight us three on your own?"

The Third Hall Master's expression remained unchanging as she said, "A true cultivator must not fight against three enemies at once. Let's fight one-on-one."

Ye Xuan replied, "Then make your move."

However, the Third Hall Master added, "I won't fight you."

Ye Xuan frowned.

And that was when the Third Hall Master pointed at Plain-Skirt Destiny. "I will fight her one-on-one!"

Ye Xuan was extremely powerful, and she wasn't confident of beating him.

However, the lady in a plain skirt looked ordinary and unremarkable.

She could definitely beat her!
