Rumble!
The spacetime behind Yi Nian was torn apart, and Ye Guan rushed out of the rift.
Ye Guan's mind went blank at the gruesome sight.
He charged at Yi Nian like a madman. Looking at the spear sticking out of Yi Nian's chest, Ye Guan roared like a beast. He whipped out the Qingxuan sword and swung it at the spear.
Crackle!
The spear cracked, and Ye Guan swung the sword once again, shattering it. He then thrust the Qingxuan Sword into Yi Nian, protecting her soul from obliteration.
Ye Guan embraced Yi Nian, and his voice quavered as he muttered, "Y-Yi Nian..."
Yi Nian opened her eyes, and a smile appeared on her pale face upon seeing Ye Guan. She reached out to touch Ye Guan's face, but her hands fell back down.
She was too weak to do anything.
Ye Guan picked up her hands and placed them on his face. His voice was trembling as he muttered, "It's fine... everything is going to be fine."
Yi Nian looked at Ye Guan, her eyes brimming with tears. "I-I really want to eat a Tianxing Fruit once more..."
Yi Nian closed her eyes again; her fleshy body was still burning.
Ye Guan had shattered the spear, but the blood-red Tianxing Flame was still inside Yi Nian, tormenting her.
"Master Pagoda! Help me!" Ye Guan shouted in rage.
Little Pagoda turned into a stream of golden light that melted into Yi Nian's abdomen. Little Pagoda then proceeded to suppress the blood-red Tianxing Flame.
There was no other option. The Qingxuan Sword had to hold on to Yi Nian's soul. This Tianxing Flame could only be suppressed by him, and it was difficult.
It was an Advanced Tianxing Flame, after all.
Fortunately, the joint effort of Little Pagoda and the Qingxuan Sword paid off in spades, as Yi Nian's condition finally stopped deteriorating.
Ye Guan carried Yi Nian on his back, and he used his sword energy to bind Yi Nian to himself. He looked up and saw a middle-aged man wearing a simple white robe.
The middle-aged man in white was Chen Ge, the Hall Master of the Hall of Justice. He was said to be the strongest within the Hall of Justice and was only behind the Chief Enforcement Officer in terms of strength.
Many years ago, Hall Masters from the Hall of Justice was the strongest, but the successive Chief Enforcement Officers were extraordinary, resulting in a chance in the rankings
Chen Ge's face was expressionless as he asked, "You came back here to die?"
Ye Guan didn't answer. After making sure that Yi Nian was tied securely to himself, he glared murderously at Chen Ge.
However, Chen Ge merely snickered at the sight. "Come, kill me, then."
Boom!
Ye Guan disappeared. The three bloodlines inside of him came to life, sweeping across the battlefield like a tidal wave. In an instant, Ye Guan appeared in front of Chen Ge.
Chen Ge's eyes narrowed. He turned his wrist and pointed at Ye Guan.
He had chosen to fight head-on!
Bang!
A radiant sword light erupted, and Chen Ge was blasted away. The spacetime in front of Chen Ge shattered into a million grids. Afterward, millions of blood-red sword lights manifested.
The flame giant's goal was to shatter Ye Guan's attack, but a storm of blood-red sword lights erupted from within the countless grids.
Under the enhancement of the three bloodline powers, Ye Guan's sword attacks had become unprecedentedly powerful.
The flame giant formed from a Tianxing Flame was overwhelmed. The powerful sword lights struck the flame giant like a torrential downpour, and it cracked open beneath the attacks.
"Die!" Ye Guan's roar pervaded the world. Immediately afterward, a blood-red sword light struck the flame giant heavily.
Boom!
The flame giant shattered, but Ye Guan was not done yet. He swung his sword once more, and the countless grids of spacetime merged into one. A million swords pierced the Northern Flame Divine General.
Boom!
The Northern Flame Divine General's eyes widened.
However, Ye Guan ignored him. His figure flickered, and he turned into a streak of sword light that disappeared into the distance.
Meanwhile, a million flying swords burst out of the Northern Flame Divine General, forming a wave of swords that chased after Ye Guan.
"Spacetime grids? How did he become so powerful in such a short period of time? It really is unbelievable..." someone muttered.
***
Ye Guan soared across the air on his sword. Not long after, three powerful auras descended, forcing him to stop once again.
Ye Guan looked up and saw three middle-aged men up above.
The Southern Flame Divine General, the Eastern Flame Divine General, and the Western Flame Divine General! The three Divine Generals looked at Ye Guan with grave expressions.
They hadn't expected the Northern Flame Divine General to be defeated so quickly. In addition, they hadn't expected that someone would actually have the audacity to attack the Tianxing Civilization!
The leader among the three, the Eastern Flame Divine General, stepped forward. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Guan disappeared from his spot. In an instant, the spacetime within a radius of dozens of kilometers turned into strange grids. Right after, a million sword lights emerged from those grids.
The faces of the three Divine Generals changed drastically. They all released their Tianxing Flames, engulfing the spacetime in a sea of flames.
They tried to use the Tianxing Flame to break through the spacetime grids, but they were horrified to discover that their Tianxing Flames couldn't affect the spacetime grids at all.
The grids had become similar to the mysterious spacetime within the tiny pagoda. While Ye Guan's mastery of spacetime was not as profound as Yi Nian's, he was stronger than her.
And it was all because the mysterious spacetime in the tiny pagoda was cooperating with him, allowing him to use it freely outside.
Yi Nian could study it freely, but she couldn't wield it outside.
The mysterious spacetime was left behind by the lady in a plain skirt, and even the Qingxuan Sword couldn't break it, so how could the Tianxing Flame do anything to it?
The three Divine Generals were filled with terror. Soon afterward, a million blood-red sword lights engulfed them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spacetime before Ye Guan was twisted in a bizarre manner, and the three Divine Generals stood no chance at all.
Ye Guan then vanished into the distant sky, followed closely by a million sword lights made out of his sword intent.
The souls of the three Divine Generals were obliterated behind him.
Carrying Yi Nian on his back, Ye Guan cast his bloodshot gaze into the distance.
Only a hint of clarity remained in his eyes, and there was only one thought in his mind—the Tianxing Fruit! Yi Nian had told him that she wanted to eat the Tianxing Fruit again!
