Chapter 667: It’s Unnecessary

As Ye Guan advanced, the phantom's expression shifted abruptly.

His disrespectful demeanor vanished and was replaced with genuine fear. One move from Ye Guan was enough to shatter his fleshy body. Is he truly just an Imperial Sovereign? This is impossible!

Before he could fully grasp the situation, Ye Guan's sword was already descending upon him. The beast, realizing the gravity of the situation, roared and launched a fierce counterattack.

He swung his fist; he couldn't accept that a mere Imperial Sovereign Realm human cultivator was about to defeat him. He had to fight back.

Kaboom!

The clash sent both of them flying, and the phantom’s body fractured like a spider's web, blood seeping out in a ghastly display. Before he could recover, Ye Guan's sword found its mark between his eyes.

The phantom was immobilized, unable to move an inch.

"Hold on!" A voice echoed right as Ye Guan was about to deal the final blow.

Ye Guan turned to see a lady in crimson walking toward him.

Mu Yuan warned, "Yin Beast."

Ye Guan stared quietly at the lady.

The lady nodded respectfully and implored, "Please spare him, Young Master Ye. We are willing to pledge allegiance to you..."

"It's unnecessary."

Ye Guan slashed out with his sword, and the Holy Beast was absorbed into the Qingxuan Sword.

The lady's expression twisted into a grimace; her hands were clenched in fury, but she held her anger back.

Ye Guan stared at her and questioned, “When he tried to rob me just now, you stayed in the dark and merely observed.”

The lady remained silent, unable to meet Ye Guan's eyes. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

Ye Guan smiled and remarked, "Fight and kill if you can, beg if you must."

The lady bowed her head, concealing her resentment.

In an instant, Ye Guan vanished, and his sword pierced the lady's chest before she could react.

The lady stared at Ye Guan in disbelief. "You..."

Ye Guan calmly replied, "I'm not afraid of your revenge, but I won't afford you the chance."

With that, he slashed out once again.

Shwing!

The lady was simply by the Qingxuan Sword. Ye Guan retrieved their storage rings and turned away.

Nearby, Mu Yuan sighed softly, and his expression was complicated. Back when the Yin-Yang Twin Beasts followed the First God, they were humble and respectful, managing all the demonic beasts in the universe with impeccable character.

Mu Yuan truly couldn't believe how greedy they had become. It seems that one's nature is truly ever-changing. Such is everyone's nature.

Just then, Mu Yuan suddenly understood why the First God had chosen not to intervene directly with them, and it was out of sheer disappointment.

Whenever someone was running rampant, their true colors would be revealed for everyone to see. The idea of using love to sway people was nonsense, as only an iron hand could tame the darkness inside everyone's hearts.

When the middle-aged man's foot landed outside, the nearby starry skies seemed to melt.

However, Ye Guan remained composed.

Meanwhile, Erya appeared beside Ye Guan, accompanied by Little White. Erya glanced casually at the middle-aged man before her hawthorn candy.

Perched on Erya's shoulder, Little White glanced at the middle-aged man and waved her tiny paw. Then, she patted Erya's shoulder, seemingly saying, "Shall we fight? Erya here can handle it."

The middle-aged man glanced at Erya and Little White before staring deeply at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan asked, "I've heard there are four Demon Kings in the Ancient Wildnerness. Which one are you?"

"I'm not a demon king."

Ye Guan furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat surprised. He's exuding at least sixty percent divinity, but he's not a demon king? Perhaps I've underestimated the Ancient Wildnerness.

The middle-aged man locked eyes with Ye Guan and said, "I am the Northern Sealing Demon General under the Northern Demon King. I've come today seeking something from you."

"My head, perhaps?"

"Exactly."

Ye Guan laughed heartily. "If you have what it takes, come and claim it."

"That's precisely what I'll do!" the middle-aged man exclaimed. He took a step forward and unleashed a punch toward Ye Guan.

Ye Guan glanced at Erya, but she showed no inclination to intervene. Ye Guan tugged at Erya's sleeve.

"Too weak; handle it yourself," Erya said and retreated into the tiny pagoda with Little White.

Ye Guan's expression stiffened. Too weak?

Helpless, Ye Guan had to take matters into his own hands. His figure quivered, and he transformed into a streak of sword light that made a beeline for the Northern Sealing Demon General.

This time, Ye Guan chose not to use the Qingxuan Sword. He wanted to gauge the true prowess of a Divine Dao Realm expert with sixty percent divinity without the help of external tools.

Boom!

The starry expanse shattered, and Ye Guan was propelled tens of thousands of meters away by a terrifying force.

When he finally came to a halt, he was astonished to find his fleshy body riddled with cracks. A drop of blood dripped down his lips. A single punch had left him severely injured.

Ye Guan stared deeply at the distant Demon General, and his eyes were unprecedentedly solemn. He finally realized that there was a massive gap between a Divine Dao Realm expert with fifty percent divinity and one with sixty percent divinity.

The Demon General stared at Ye Guan wordlessly. Moments later, he stepped forward and unleashed a punch toward Ye Guan. It was a simple punch with no gimmicks, just raw strength.

Ye Guan felt suffocated beneath the oncoming punch. However, he didn't retreat. Instead, his gaze turned icy, and following his will, thousands of swords made out of sword energy erupted from within him, converging into a single sword in the blink of an eye. The next second, Ye Guan slashed out with Space Overlap. He had decided to confront the oncoming punch rather than retreat in the face of it.

Boom!

When the fist and the sword collided, countless sword lights shattered, and Ye Guan was blasted away.

Before Ye Guan could go far away, the Demon General dashed forward and shouted, "Starry Devastation!"

BOOM!

A myriad of fist lights erupted, sundering the starry skies and leaving behind nothing but a pitch-black void.
