I Have A Sword

Chapter 552: Good Aunt!

"Attack!" Little Jing commanded.

The Bandit Corps burst into laughter. They transformed into streaks of light as they charged toward the Past Clan.

At the same time, powerful energies surged into the sky. Although Han Ling had dispatched most of the Past Clan's elites to hunt down Ye Guan, the Yang Clan's forces were ready to hold them back. Hence, while the Past Clan was comparatively sparse, it was by no means defenseless.

"Senior Zhen!" Little Jing suddenly exclaimed.

The spacetime behind her ruptured, revealing a massive array. Following closely behind, numerous golden beams of light burst forth like a torrential storm, each one aimed at the Past Clan in the distance.

The long-range attack didn't stop there. Over a hundred more arrays appeared amidst the Past Clan, momentarily stunning its elite members.

The arrays' relentless barrage forced countless members of the Past Clan to confront them. With the defenders preoccupied, the bandits rushed deep into the heart of the clan to accomplish their primary objective of seizing the clan's Dao Veins—spiritual veins capable of producing Dao Origin Crystals.

Dozens of the Past Clan's top-grade Dao Veins were looted clean in a short span. Afterward, the bandits began plundering various other treasures, including cultivation techniques, pills, and ancient texts. They took anything they could get their hands on.

Ye Guan was dumbfounded. The bandits seemed determined to leave nothing behind. He also noticed that each of them was highly skilled and accompanied by a treasure-seeking beast. Their lack of interest in prolonged battles showed their extensive experience in such activities.

Meanwhile, Little Jing just remained standing beside Ye Guan in pure silence.

"Does the Past Clan have no strong cultivators?" Ye Guan asked.

Although there were indeed some strong cultivators within the Past Clan, they were few and not as strong.

Little Jing chuckled as she turned to Ye Guan. "This clan is not as simple as it seems. Just watch."

Not long after their conversation, deep within the Past Clan, a giant hand suddenly shot into the sky and slammed down on the arrays.

Boom!

The hand shattered countless arrays in a single blow, an explosive roar thundering on impact.

Ye Guan narrowed his eyes. A true elite had appeared.

In the distant sky, a middle-aged man with flowing hair descended from above. Clad in a luxurious robe, he exuded an extremely domineering energy.

The man's gaze fell on Little Jing. Without even a word, he raised his hand and threw a powerful punch.

Smiling coldly, Little Jing countered with a punch of her own.

Boom!

The two streams of fist energy clashed, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

Much to Ye Guan's surprise, the resulting explosion did not shatter the surrounding space.

At that moment, he realized that the space here was much more solid than the one outside.

As they exchanged equally powerful blows, the middle-aged man calmly looked at Little Jing. Although he didn't make any further moves, the space around them cracked open. One after another, figures dashed out from the fissures and immediately made their way to the group of bandits in the distance.

These were the Past Clan's cultivators!

Little Jing chuckled. "They're calling back their cultivators!"

"What about the Clan Leader of the Past Clan?"

"She wouldn't be interested in matters like this."

Ye Guan fell silent. That woman did give me the impression of indifference. As if she disregarded everything. Perhaps she didn't think the Past Clan was that important?

The middle-aged man in front of them suddenly took a step forward, sending terrifying pressure toward Little Jing.

Little Jing's lips curled with disdain as she transformed into a burst of fist energy and disappeared.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the middle-aged man was sent flying!

After the middle-aged man was blasted away, Little Jing intended to pursue him again. But in the next moment, she seemed to sense something. Her brows furrowed, and she swiftly turned around, charging towards Ye Guan.

At that moment, every hair on Ye Guan's body stood on end. Danger! That was his immediate feeling! A sense of impending death crept closer to his heart.

Ye Guan swiftly brought out the ancient shield and held it in front of him. At the same time, Ao Qianqian released the Dragon Ancestral Armor, enveloping Ye Guan.

Hiss!

The space in front of Ye Guan suddenly split open, and then a sword emerged, slashing towards him.

Bang!

In an instant, Ye Guan, along with the shield, was sent flying tens of thousands of meters away!

At that moment, Ye Guan felt like his entire body was starting to shatter. And as he came to a stop, another sword attack was already upon him.

Ye Guan's pupils suddenly contracted. Just as he was about to draw his sword, Little Jing appeared in front of him. She clenched her fist tightly and then unleashed a punch.

Her fist clashed with the sword.

Bang!

Both of them were sent flying backward simultaneously!

Ye Guan looked towards a figure not far away. Standing there, an elder held a long sword. His right hand gripped the sword and his gaze was calm. There was no hint of Sword Intent or sword energy emanating from him. He seemed almost non-existent.

A swordsman!

Ye Guan's expression turned serious. Along his journey, he hadn't encountered many swordsmen, only a few, but each one was extremely formidable. And the sword wielded by the elder before him was undoubtedly the strongest among the opponents he had encountered so far!

Great Sword Sovereign Gu Nanrong's sword was also very powerful. However, after she broke through, they never fought again. So he didn't know the extent of Gu Nanrong's sword.

The elder paid no attention to Little Jing, his gaze fixed firmly on Ye Guan.

Suddenly, the elder's body became ethereal.

In the distance, Ye Guan's hair stood on end. He wielded the Qingxuan Sword fiercely as he struck out. As the Qingxuan Sword descended, another sword instantly struck, piercing the tip of the Qingxuan Sword.

Bang!

Crack!

Ye Guan was sent flying!

However, the sword in the elder's hand cracked, and a spiderweb pattern appeared on his sword.

Seeing this, the elder's brow furrowed slightly, a hint of emotion appearing in his calm eyes.

This sword had accompanied him through countless years, never breaking in battle. Yet today, it shattered. The elder slowly raised his head and looked towards Ye Guan in the distance. His gaze fell on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan's hand.

"I've heard of the Sword Master's reputation for a long time. It's a pity that I have never had the chance to spar with him. I never thought that even just his sword is so formidable. Very impressive."

Ye Guan glanced at the elder, then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. At this moment, he was also shocked. The elder's sword was truly terrifying. It was much stronger than the lady in the cloth dress and Han Ling!

At this time, Little Jing walked up to Ye Guan and glanced at him, smiling. "Not bad, kid, you've got some strength."

She couldn't help but feel impressed by Ye Guan's strength. This guy's talent was much better than his father's!

Ye Guan looked at the elder, still wanting to make a move, but he was stopped by Little Jing. "They are still calling people back!"

With that, she whistled. In the distance, the group of bandits from the Past Clan no longer lingered as they started to retreat.

Little Jing smiled. "Let's go."

With that, she turned around and took Ye Guan away.

The elder frowned slightly, his figure trembling. In an instant, a sword energy broke through the air, aiming straight for Ye Guan and Little Jing.

Sensing the sword energy behind them, Little Jing turned around and unleashed a punch. An immense fist energy directly collided with the sword energy.

Boom!

The fist energy and sword energy exploded simultaneously! Little Jing didn't linger to fight, she disappeared into the end of the sky with Ye Guan and the group of bandits. This time, the elder didn't pursue them because he knew that even if he did, it would be useless. With his personal strength, he couldn't do anything to the Bandit Sovereign.

At this moment, some of the elites from the Past Clan came to stand behind the elder, their faces extremely grim.

The Past Clan had been looted! If this news got out...

One of the middle-aged men looked at the elder. "Master Yu, this matter..."

Master! The elder, a swordsman, was Master Yu, a high-ranking figure in the Sword Pavilion.

Master Yu looked towards the sky with calm eyes. "Inform the Saint Master Gu."

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said, "Alright."

With that, he stepped back.

Master Yu's eyes revealed a hint of concern. This time, the Past Clan had prepared extensively to kill Ye Guan, mobilizing countless elite cultivators. However, Ye Guan's strength had only grown stronger, and more and more elites had gathered around him.

The Past Clan has always been shrouded in mystery, but at this moment, Master Yu felt that the Yang Clan behind Ye Guan was the true enigma. Even now, the Past Clan hadn't fully understood the Yang Clan's background.

Was it still a pursuit?

It was no longer just about chasing Ye Guan. It had escalated into a conflict between two forces. The Past Clan could no longer dominate as it had before.

After a moment, Master Yu turned and left.

...

On the other side, Little Jing led Ye Guan and the group of bandits into an unknown world. Ye Guan noticed that all the bandits were extremely excited, indicating that they had gained a lot this time.

It wasn't just about what they had gained.

After all, they had just robbed the Past Clan, the most powerful force in the Time River. From today onwards, their Bandit Corps would be renowned throughout the Time River. It was exhilarating.

One of the elderly men took out a storage ring and handed it to Little Jing respectfully, saying, "Leader." The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

Little Jing accepted the storage ring, glanced at it, and then handed it directly to Ye Guan, saying, "This is for you."

Ye Guan was stunned.

Little Jing chuckled, "What are you waiting for? Take it."

Ye Guan hesitated for a moment and then said, "But... why?"

Little Jing replied, "We obtained a total of a hundred and twenty Dao Veins this time. I'm giving you thirty. In addition to that, you can have all the ancient books and techniques from the Past Clan, and there are over three billion Dao Origin Crystals, of which I'm giving you one billion..."

Ye Guan looked at Little Jing, puzzled, "But why?"

Little Jing smiled, "The reason we were able to infiltrate the Past Clan and rob them is because the cultivators from the Yang Clan held back their elites. Otherwise, with our numbers, we wouldn't stand a chance against them. Furthermore, having you with us acted as a protective talisman. Without you, the Clan Leader of the Past Clan could have easily killed us with a single strike. But with you there, she had to abide by the rules and couldn't harm us. So, this time, you deserve the most credit!"

With that, she returned the Little Pagoda to Ye Guan. "Here, this is yours too."

Ye Guan glanced at Little Jing but remained silent.

"You've been quite wary of me all along. What's wrong? Were you afraid I'd borrow your pagoda and never return it? And maybe even sell you off?"

Her words made Ye Guan feel ashamed. He felt extremely ashamed! How could he have harbored such thoughts before? Little Jing had been such a good aunt to him! He had actually thought of her in such a lowly manner...

At this moment, Ye Guan felt regret and shame.

But soon, he would change his mindset.

Seeing Ye Guan's remorseful expression, Little Jing's lips curled up slightly, her eyes flashing with a mysterious glint...
