Chapter 1637: Chapter 1637
The East Desolates experts turned their gazes to Jun You, who stood not far away. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovelHub(.)net
There was no doubt that Jun You was the most monstrous genius of the East Desolates, but at this point, she clearly was no longer a match for Ye Guan.
Jun You stared at Ye Guan without speaking, but her expression was as grim as if she were attending a funeral.
Seeing her standing there and not stepping forward, Ye Guan glanced at her and let out a light laugh, openly scornful.
At this, Jun You's face turned as pale as paper. She wanted to step forward, but the East Desolates powerhouses held her back. If she were to step forward, she would undoubtedly die. Perhaps only the East Desolates Ruler could fight Ye Guan at this point.
Ye Guan turned to walk toward the East Desolates Beast God. Seeing that, the Beast God's expression twisted in fury. He clenched his fists, and immense power surged from within him, but before it could fully manifest, it was forcibly suppressed by Ye Guan's Invincible Sword Intent.
No matter how he resisted, he couldn't fend off Ye Guan's overwhelming sword intent.
A Great Dao Suppression!
The East Desolates Beast God was clearly unwilling to accept this. He began to burn both his fleshly body and soul, attempting to resist Ye Guan's sword intent, but it was useless.
Ye Guan extended his palm, and a sword made out of sword intent materialized. The next instant, that sword flashed across the battlefield like a lightning bolt, slashing straight at the Beast God.
The Beast God's pupils contracted sharply, but he could only watch as the sword came for him.
Just then, a purple lightning sword tore through the air from the side, aiming to intercept Ye Guan's sword.
Dao Menzhu made his move.
Just as Dao Menzhu's sword was about to hit Ye Guan's sword, its speed suddenly plummeted.
Dao Menzhu's pupils shrank.
Ye Guan's sword pierced the Beast God's brows, pinning him to the spot and rendering him immobile.
The Beast God still tried to resist with his dying breath, but the sword wiped out every last trace of life within him, including his soul.
Before everyone's eyes, the enormous figure of the Beast God was reduced to mere ashes, disintegrating completely.
Ye Guan opened his palm, and a storage ring appeared; it was the Beast God's storage ring. He put it away and turned to look at Dao Menzhu in the distance. The moment Dao Menzhu met Ye Guan's gaze, his heart trembled.
The Beast God's strength was no weaker than his own. If Ye Guan challenged him to a duel, his end would likely be the same.
Refuse? With so many eyes watching, how could he? Where would his pride go?
Just as he was racking his brain for a solution, Ye Guan suddenly shouted, "All of you, come at me!"
Huh? Dao Menzhu was stunned. The East Desolates powerhouses were also stunned, thinking they had misheard him.
He wanted to take them all on by himself?
Upon hearing that, Erya gave a big thumbs-up, saying, "Nice, grandson's finally grown some guts. Now, he can go wreak havoc with us."
Little White nodded in agreement.
Slaughter and the others all smiled. The little guy was different now. He was ready to join them in top-tier battles. More importantly, he would no longer need their backup.
Qingqiu smiled at Ye Guan without speaking.
The East Desolates experts were all furious.
This was an insult to them!
One by one, their anger blazed, but none of them made a move. Instead, they all looked at Dao Menzhu.
They were angry, yes, but still rational. If they all ganged up on him, what would that look like? They'd lose all face. Even if they won, it wouldn't be a glorious victory.
Hence, this was all up to Dao Menzhu!
After all, aside from the East Desolates Ruler, he was the strongest among them now. As for whether he could win? No one really thought about it. After all, they weren't the ones fighting.
Noticing all eyes on him, Dao Menzhu's face turned ugly. It felt like he was sitting on a burning stove.
At this point, he really had no choice.
He forced himself to step forward. He was a swordsman, too, but more specifically, he was a Spell Swordsman. Spell swordsmen combined swordsmanship with spells, forming a unique Dao among swordsmen.
However, he was all too aware that his Spell Sword Dao could not defeat Ye Guan's Invincible Sword Dao. Strictly speaking, he was even weaker than the Beast God.
At that moment, the purple lightning sword in his hand trembled. Dao Menzhu suddenly realized something. He had developed fear in his heart. For a swordsman, a broken state of mind was fatal, and clearly, his mind had cracked.
He looked up at Ye Guan and said, "Ye Guan, we East Desolates warriors can be killed, but not humiliated. If you want a fight, we will fight! But... you can surely see that my mindset is unstable now.
"If we fight now, it will not be a fair match. Therefore, I propose we battle another day when I can show you the true prowess of the swordsmen of the East Desolates!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, especially the East Desolates powerhouses. They stared at Dao Menzhu in disbelief. Dao Menzhu... what happened to you? You were not before!
Ye Guan looked at him without replying.
Sensing everyone's gazes, Dao Menzhu's face grew hot. He looked at Ye Guan and shouted, "Ye Guan! You're just using your power to bully others, hitting me when I'm down. Fine! Even if I'm injured and unstable, I'll fight you... Come at me!"
Everyone was rendered speechless.
Ye Guan waved his hand, "You're even more shameless than me. Since you don't want to fight, I'll give you a chance..."
He then turned to look at Qingqiu and the others in the distance. "They are my family. They are decently strong. Pick one."
Dao Menzhu, feeling humiliated, suddenly saw hope. He still had some pride, and being forced into this earlier was deeply uncomfortable, but he knew very well that if he were to fight Ye Guan, he would die.
If he refused to fight, he would lose face. If he fought, he would lose his life. Neither was a good option. But now, he had a ray of hope.
Pick one among them? He looked at Qingqiu and the others. His gaze paused briefly on Qingqiu, and he then moved on. That woman was unfathomable. Definitely a no-go.
Next, he looked at An Nanjing. He couldn't gauge her strength, but his instincts screamed danger, so she was also a no-go. Then, he looked at Slaughter. He had some knowledge about her; she had once fought the Beast God with just an avatar, and she still held her own. Absolutely not!
He moved on to Ye Qingqing. The moment he saw her, he immediately looked away. She was also a swordsman, and her aura was even more fearsome than Ye Guan's! Definitely can't fight her either!
Finally, his gaze landed on Mu Niannian. She was smiling gently, looking quite approachable.
Maybe her... Dao Menzhu considered it. Then his gaze shifted to Erya. Erya was clad in strange clothes, and she was licking a sugar-coated hawthorn stick. She looked innocent and harmless.
Of course, she was definitely a cultivator.
Dao Menzhu immediately pointed at Erya. "I choose her!"
The East Desolates experts couldn't bear to watch.
He actually chose a little girl... Absolutely shameless!
Dao Menzhu felt their prickling gazes, and he also believed that it was shameless of him to pick a little girl. He looked at the small white creature in Erya's arms and added, "You can bring that thing with you, too."
Erya stared at him and licked her lips.
