I Have A Sword

Chapter 1071: The Yang Family

When the man in the white shirt and the lady in the plain skirt left, the lady in green smiled gently and continued drifting along the current of time. Once she confirmed that the timeline had returned to normal, she vanished into thin air.

***

The Great Daoist Brush Master faced off against the Multiverse Emperor from afar. The Multiverse Emperor had his right hand behind his back. His gaze was intense, and the spacetime around him trembled ever so slightly.

The Great Daoist Brush Master had on a faint and untroubled smile.

The Multiverse Emperor's gaze held a hint of surprise as he studied his opponent."Who exactly are you?"

He realized that he had grossly underestimated the unassuming figure before him.

The Great Daoist Brush Master smiled and replied, "I'm just a nobody."

The Multiverse Emperor chuckled. "Someone able to disregard the temporal power itself is a rare find in a Tier Six Civilization."

The Great Daoist Brush Master shook his head. "There are more of us than you think. You just haven't met them."

"Oh? I'd like to meet them, then."

"I'd advise against it."

"Why?"

"Because most of those who have seen them will never be able to tell the tale."

"Haha!" The Multiverse Emperor burst out into laughter, his voice booming like thunder, making the starry skies churn.

The Great Daoist Brush Master smiled faintly without saying a word.

After a while, the Multiverse Emperor sized him up and said, "I actually understand you. It's not your fault. It's an issue of perception, and the limits of this universe are quite narrow, so your level of perception can only go..."

The Multiverse Emperor raised his right hand slightly and pressed it down lightly with a smile. "Only this high..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master chuckled in response. "What you said... actually makes a lot of sense. But I'm curious, just how high is your level of perception then?"

"Higher than you can ever imagine."

"If I weren't showing some restraint, would you really be able to play the villain?" the Great Daoist Brush Master said, sighing and looking helpless. He knew that if he were to stop keeping a low profile, things wouldn't end well for him.

"Hahaha." The Multiverse Emperor laughed. "Your strength is quite mediocre, but you're quite the show-off."

The Great Daoist Brush Master also laughed in response.

Just then, the Multiverse Emperor's brow furrowed. Then, he laughed again, saying. "Interesting, it seems that someone has killed Ah Fu..."

The Great Daoist Brush Master closed his eyes slowly and chuckled. "Looks like I underestimated that punk."

He initially thought Ye Guan wouldn't stand a chance against that Physique Cultivator, especially since Ye Guan had gone there without the protection of the Great Dao.

He had to have been exposed to temporal erosion, but Ye Guan somehow managed to defeat that Physique Cultivator, which was truly a surprise.

The Multiverse Emperor extended his palm and swept his sleeve, creating a strange, spiraling temporal vortex a few hundred meters to his right.

The Great Daoist Brush Master frowned slightly.

The Multiverse Emperor said, "Yue Yi."

Rumble!

The spacetime beside him ripped open, and a man in a black robe with his hair completely white stepped out. He held a sheathed long saber and stared quietly at the Multiverse Emperor, awaiting orders.

The Multiverse Emperor said, "Go and meet this Young Master Ye."

Yue Yi nodded slightly and headed for the temporal vortex.

The Great Daoist Brush Master glanced at Yue Yi for a few seconds before saying, "Boundless."

Rumble!

The spacetime beside the Great Daoist Brush Master was torn open, and the Boundless Master slowly stepped out of the rift.

The Great Daoist Brush Master had intended for Ye Guan to handle this on his own, but after some thought, he decided against it.

There was a limit to how much someone ought to be challenged, and this was the time to give Ye Guan a bit more time to recover. Besides, since he had already intervened, it would be embarrassing if Ye Guan were to die at the hands of the Multiverse Emperor or his men.

The Boundless Master looked at Yue Yi with a smile and said, "Let's begin."

Yue Yi stared wordlessly at the Boundless Master before unsheathing his saber.

Schwing!

The spacetime before the Boundless Master was torn apart as the saber slashed fiercely toward him.

However, the Boundless Master only smiled and raised his fist to meet it.

Bam!

The stars nearby were shaken as waves of terrifying energy rippled outward. Of course, none of it affected the Great Daoist Brush Master or the Multiverse Emperor.

The Multiverse Emperor glanced at the Boundless Master and said, "How impressive."

The Great Daoist Brush Master paid no attention to the Boundless Master, and his gaze drifted toward Fu Wu down below. She was still breaking through, and her Sword Dao was improving by leaps and bounds.

Seeing that, a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes. He realized that he had underestimated Fu Wu. Her swordsmanship talent was unparalleled, and her only peers were the monstrously gifted swordsmen from the Yang Family.

She was truly formidable, and her potential was limitless.

The Multiverse Emperor's gaze shifted to Fu Wu as well. Seeing that her Sword Dao aura was still surging wildly, his eyebrows creased slightly in surprise as well.

Fu Wu had far exceeded his expectations. He hadn't expected that even a low-tier civilization could produce such astonishingly gifted individuals.

Just then, the Founding Ancestor of the Devourer Civilization, Gu Xiu, began striding slowly toward Fu Wu with a gaze full of murderous intent.

Having fought her before, he knew all too well the threat that she posed. Back then, no one could stop her with her divine sword. Of course, the Multiverse Emperor was an exception.

The thought of allowing Fu Wu to make a breakthrough was something that he didn't even want to imagine.

The Boundless Master and the Great Daoist Brush Master were preoccupied, and he realized that this was his best chance to kill Fu Wu.

Swoosh!

Gu Xiu vanished, immediately acting on his decision.

Almost at the same moment, Fu Wu opened her eyes. She pointed to the side with two fingers and channeled a wisp of sword intent that materialized into a sword.

The sword shot forward, moving at breakneck speeds.

Bam!

Gu Xiu was blasted away.

The experts from the many different civilizations were stunned.

Ruler Qi and Yama Dharmaraja exchanged glances, visibly shocked. They hadn't expected that the swordsman from a low-tier civilization would be so formidable.

After Fu Wu forced Gu Xiu back with a single strike, she didn't chase after him. She cast a cold glance at him before slowly closing her eyes again. Then, her sword intent surged like a tide, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure that all the nearby elites could feel.

Gu Xiu's expression turned exceedingly grim as he stared at her. He knew that once Fu Wu had made her breakthrough, no one present would be a match for her.

"Attack her together!" Gu Xiu growled.

The elites from the many different civilizations looked surprised. A group assault? It felt shameful to gang up on someone from a low-tier civilization.

When no one moved at all, Gu Xiu's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Are you really going to wait until she makes a breakthrough?!"

Fu Wu's imminent breakthrough triggered a sense of urgency among the experts present, and killing intent flashed in their eyes.

However, the Multiverse Emperor chimed in, "She's not important. You go after that young man. He is bound by the limits of the Great Dao of Time there."

Gu Xiu and Gui Yuqi exchanged glances. Then, they prepared to enter the vortex along with a group of elites from their respective civilizations.

However, a lady stood in their path.

She was Fu Wu, and she had chosen to abandon her breakthrough.

Gu Xiu and Gui Yuqi glared at her, their eyes brimming with unmasked killing intent. They were just about to strike when the Multiverse Sovereign cast a glance at them, forcing them to stop.

The Multiverse Emperor turned to Fu Wu with a smile and said, "I must admit, you're pretty impressive, unexpectedly impressive. I'm willing to offer you another chance.

"If you submit, not only will you live, but I will also elevate your swordsmanship to unprecedented heights, allowing you to—"

"Shut up!" Fu Wu interrupted, turning to him with an icy glare. "Stupid cunt."

The Great Daoist Brush Master looked at Fu Wu, utterly stunned.

The Multiverse Emperor's gaze grew cold. He didn't understand what "cunt" meant, but he could tell it was definitely not a compliment.

Gui Yuqi decisively commanded, "Attack."

With that, he vanished, transforming into a terrifying torrent of energy that rushed toward Fu Wu. Alongside him, several experts from different civilizations charged forward as well. All of them were Transcendent Immortals.

Fu Wu's eyes showed no fear despite the number of enemies. She opened her palm, and her lips parted slightly as she uttered, "Sword, come."

Hum!

A resonant sword hum reverberated across the heavens, and a sword borne from her sword intent appeared. With a fierce glint in her eyes, she transformed into a streak of sword light, slashing forward.

Bam! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gui Yuqi, who was leading the charge, was forced back nearly a thousand meters by her strike. The next instant, a dozen overwhelming auras engulfed Fu Wu.

Boom!

The sword light shattered, and Fu Wu was driven back, retreating tens of thousands of meters away.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiu and the others ignored her and charged toward the temporal vortex. In their eyes, entering that universe's timeline to deal with Ye Guan was the top priority. They could just kill Fu Wu later. After all, Fu Wu inside the temporal vortex could not possibly be as powerful as this one here.

Hum!

A piercing sword hum echoed, and Fu Wu appeared in their path once more.

Gu Xiu's face darkened, and he led the group in a fierce charge at her. Their fearsome energy swept across the battlefield, causing the spacetime all around them to collapse.

Gui Yuqi glanced down at his right hand upon recovering from Fu Wu's attack. A deep sword wound was on his hand, and his expression became more serious than ever.

Looking at Fu Wu in the distance, a glimmer of murderous intent flickered in his eyes. He had to admit that he was deeply shaken by her might. Although her cultivation level wasn't as high as his own, her potential was terrifying.

She'd become nearly invincible and could perhaps compare to a Tier Six Civilization if given enough time. With that realization in mind, he rushed forward, charging directly at her.

Instead of retreating, Fu Wu advanced fearlessly. A sword light—tens of thousands of meters long—shot up from the ground, but it shattered the next moment, and Fu Wu was blasted away.

This time, she was pushed tens of thousands of meters away. As soon as she came to a halt, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. Before she could even catch her breath, powerful attacks were already heading straight for her.

Fu Wu gripped her intent sword tightly, and she transformed into a streak of light once again, colliding fiercely with the oncoming attacks.

Bam!

The sword light shattered once more, and she flew away like a kite that had lost its strings. As soon she came to a stop, her fleshly body and soul ignited at the same time. Her sword intent surged explosively, but a wave of powerful energy bore down on her, suppressing her.

Fu Wu roared furiously and brought her sword down fiercely. A wave of sword light cascaded downward like a waterfall.

Gui Yuqi and Gu Xiu were forced back, but at the same time, Fu Wu was struck and sent flying. Instead of attacking again, Gui Yuqi and Gu Xiu exchanged glances and disappeared.

Rumble!

While Fu Wu struggled to recover in mid-air, a rift appeared in the spacetime behind her. The next instant, a man charged out from the rift. He was Gu Xiu, and he was in his true body!

Gu Xiu swung his fist, sending Fu Wu hurtling through the air.

Before Fu Wu could recover, another rift in spacetime opened, and Gui Yuqi rushed out of the rift with a long spear in hand. He was in his true body as well!

Fu Wu's eyes narrowed sharply, and she spun around, swinging her sword fiercely. Her intent sword clashed with Gui Yuqi's spear, and it trembled violently.

Swoosh!

A shadowy figure appeared behind Fu Wu.

Boom!

A terrifying surge of energy struck Fu Wu from behind.

Gui Yuqi twisted his spear, shattering Fu Wu's sword intent. Then, he thrust his spear forward, driving his spear into her abdomen, pinning her to the spot.

Fu Wu's fleshly body and soul began fading away.

Rumble!

Gui Yuqi and Gu Xiu's expressions changed drastically. A destructive aura was erupting from within Fu Wu, forcing both of them to retreat frantically.

Fu Wu had decided to self-destruct!

The self-destruction of such a powerful expert was not something that Gui Yuqi and Gu Xiu dared to underestimate.

Fu Wu looked up and cast one final glance at the temporal vortex.

"Take care..." she whispered and closed her eyes. She was about to detonate herself when a delicate hand landed on her shoulder. A gentle touch was enough to suppress the terrifying energy boiling within Fu Wu.

"Lady Fu, you don't need to do that. There are more of us from the Yang Family!" exclaimed a gentle voice.
