Chapter 77 77: God Of Battlefield

The old man's face turned grim. "It seems like you've made up your mind then. I'll have to get my hands dirty then..."

As he spoke, he drew his own sword and took up a battle stance. The clash of two powerful auras filled the air, signaling the beginning of a battle that was to decide the future of the Celestial Palace.

Even though the Great Elder of the Celestial Palace was much older than Ye Han, as he held the Sword, his eyes looked like they were craving a battle.

He had spent most of his life in the Sacred Hall, not leaving at all. The protection of the Formation Core was a responsibility that had been on his shoulders.

However, because he had been in this place all this time, he had grown somewhat disappointed, since he didn't have any opportunities to use his strength. Moreover, for the entire Celestial Palace, he was already considered dead. It was no different for him than being imprisoned here.

It was the first time in a long while that there was a person here who wanted to fight him.

Even though he wasn't the strongest amongst all the Great Elders, his strength also wasn't something that could be ignored by a person from the younger generation.

The old man moved, as if almost disappearing into thin air. For a normal person, it was impossible to even see him. However, Ye Han's blood red eyes seemed to catch the trace of the old man. He raised his sharp sword, blocking the old man's sword.

As the metallic sound resounded in the air, the force of the impact was enough to make Ye Han move a few steps back. On the other hand, the old man remained still as he continued attacking.

Ye Han was somewhat  surprised by the old man's strength. However, that still wasn't enough to make him concerned.

He gathered all his energy. A blood red aura surrounded his sharp sword, making his Sword shine in a blood red hue.

Ye Han responded to the man with strength of his own.

Initially, the man thought this was a battle which was going to be over soon. However, he was taken aback when he was met with resistance. Especially the blood red Sword that made him feel as if he was going to be in danger if the sword even touched him in the slightest.

The old man's body once again disappeared as he created some distance before attacking with his sword aura.

Boom~

A powerful explosion took place. However, to his surprise, Ye Han remained unharmed. Instead, it was as if he had sliced his sword aura with his sword!

Even his clothes were perfectly fine, despite the explosion. What was even worse was that Ye Han also used a speed that was comparable to his own, if not much higher. Another disadvantage that the old man had was that he couldn't sense Ye Han's aura, as if a treasure was being used to hide it.

He couldn't rely on his spiritual sense in this battle at all.

The battle between the two Warlords was so powerful that even the walls that were made from special material in the hall started breaking apart.

Even the figures of the two people couldn't be seen, and only the sparks created from their swords could be seen from place to place occasionally, as if it was a battle between two gods who had surpassed the limits of mortals.

In the end, the old man was even more taken aback. Initially, he had an advantage. However, as the battle went on for long, that advantage had decreased to an extent where it was non-existent. It was as if the longer this battle went on, the stronger Ye Han became, as if he was made for battle.

At this rate, the Great Elder wasn't confident he could stop Ye Han for longer. The only choice he had was to somehow inform the Palace Master.

As he fought, he kept looking for opportunities to leave. Unfortunately, it was hard for him to show his back to an enemy, especially an enemy that was this dangerous.

After some time, the old man roared in pain, seeing  his left arm falling to the ground. He had only seen his own blood fly in the air as his arm was cut by Ye Han.

The pain he felt was more than it should've been, as if the red aura of Ye Han's Sword was capable enough of increasing the pain that one felt from the wounds.

This was the old man's first time being at a loss. On the other hand, Ye Han appeared emotionless, as if he was in a zone where he could only see his enemy and the ways to kill him!

The old man couldn't take it anymore. If he doesn't escape, he was going to die! He didn't have any courage left, especially now that he had lost his arm!

Without a second thought, he started flying above, to get out of the Sacred Hall.

"Just a little more!" He exclaimed, reaching close to the roof. However, just as his hands were merely a few inches away from touching the roof of the Sacred Hall, he froze in place.

His face turned blank, before changing into a horrified expression. A thin blood red line spread across all his body from top to bottom, as if dividing him into two equal halves.

The old man's body split into two halves, as if sliced from the middle. And both halves fell on the ground. He had made the biggest mistake of his life by revealing his back toward Ye Han who had started enjoying the battle!

Even until his death, he couldn't believe what had just happened. Finally he realized why the Executioner of the Battlefield was so dreaded by even Heaven Grade Celestials!

After taking care of the old man, Ye Han remained in his place, as if somewhat disappointed that the battle was over so soon. However, after a few seconds, he realized that he wasn't on a battlefield! He was on a mission.

He turned to the special door in the distance, which was the last obstruction in his path.

"All obstructions are to be removed!" He raised his blood red Sword high in the sky, before bringing it down.

A vibrant red beam of light burst forth, colliding with a door that had been shielded by various protective enchantments. Despite these defenses, they shattered like fragile shards of glass upon impact. The formidable door itself also succumbed to the force of the assault with a single blow.

Ye Han kept the sword back, entering the core of the Sacred Hall, the most precious place in the Celestial Island.
