I Have A Sword-Chapter 1220: Not Worth It!

Upon hearing the uncertainty in Ye Guan's voice, the entire Helian Clan was rendered speechless. Ye Guan muttered inwardly, "Master Pagoda, my sister isn't avoiding me, right?"

Little Pagoda indifferently replied, "Who knows?"

Ye Guan was at a loss for words.

Just then, Helian Yu stepped in to reassure him, "Young Master Ye, don't worry. Your sister is probably just busy climbing the list."

Ye Guan smiled wryly. "Let's hope that's the case."

Helian Yu's expression grew serious. "For now, you absolutely must not leave this place, or..."

Ye Guan nodded in agreement. If he were to leave, he'd likely meet his end right away.

Since the gray-robed elderly man earlier had died at the hands of the seal left by the Nine Continents Master, there had been no further movements from their side.

However, the Helian Clan remained vigilant; many of their clan members were heavily guarding the inn.

Ye Guan returned to the tiny pagoda and spent his days teaching Zang Gang.

He hoped Zang Gang would recover some memories to help him complete his mission and unseal his cultivation base.

However, the girl was utterly focused on training, tirelessly pushing herself with carefree determination. Ye Guan could only accompany her helplessly, cooking for her daily and dealing with his growing headache.

Three days passed, and during that time, no new members from the Genesis Daoist Temple appeared.

However, Helian Yu and Helian Fu were growing increasingly uneasy. Even though there had been no direct confrontations, the number of powerful auras gathering around the Nine Continents Tower was steadily increasing.

One day, a middle-aged man in a simple robe appeared at the end of the street.

He walked slowly, but his destination wasn't the tavern but Helian Fu himself.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

A sheathed long saber was in the middle-aged man's hand.

Helian Fu set down his cup of wine and looked up. His gaze met the middle-aged man's, and the two disappeared in an instant. They reappeared in an empty spacetime region.

The middle-aged man wasted no words. His saber left its sheath in a flash of brilliance.

Swish!

A chilling blade light filled the void, and its terrifying force engulfed the void.

Helian Fu's eyes narrowed as he clenched his right hand into a fist.

The next moment, he unleashed a punch.

Boom!

A deafening explosion shattered spacetime itself as Helian Fu's fist light collided with the saber light. Energy waves rippled out, tearing apart the surroundings.

The middle-aged man jumped forward, gripping his saber with both hands, and unleashed a devastating downward slash.

A towering saber energy descended, seemingly capable of splitting heaven and earth.

However, Helian Fu stood unflinching before it. He took a step forward, and his right palm swung upward with immense force. The moment his hand moved, a powerful energy erupted, obliterating the spacetime ahead of him.

Boom!

The spacetime region crumbled under the force of their exchange, and shockwaves rippled throughout the shattered void.

The middle-aged man didn't let up, following with another slash.

Helian Fu met the blow head-on, his punch forcing the saber energy to retreat. Without hesitation, he charged forward like a bolt of lightning, slamming into the middle-aged man.

Bang!

The middle-aged man was blasted back thousands of meters. Before he could recover, Helian Fu was already rushing toward him again.

A fierce light flickered in the man's eyes. He gripped his saber tightly, and the weapon vibrated intensely in his hands. At the last moment, he sheathed the saber and then drew it again.

A powerful wave of saber energy swept forward like a tsunami, as two attacks combined into one, generating a cataclysmic might.

BOOM!

Helian Fu's punch was shattered in an instant. The impact sent him retreating several thousand meters before he came to a stop. When he steadied himself, a thin line appeared on his right cheek, and blood seeped out of it.

Helian Fu raised his right hand and gently touched his face. His gaze then shifted to the middle-aged man in the distance, and at that moment, a blazing battle intent erupted in his eyes.

The middle-aged man holding a blade tightened his grip, his sharp eyes fixed on Helian Fu. As their gazes locked, the next instant, both figures vanished from where they stood...

Meanwhile, the Helian Clan's experts grew increasingly grim. If Helian Fu were to lose, it would spell disaster for them. After all, he was the strongest member of the Helian Clan.

If he were to fall, there would be no one left in the clan capable of holding their ground.

Helian Yu and Helian Qi's faces also darkened. The strength of this unexpected opponent far exceeded their expectations.

Helian Yu suddenly looked into the distance and said, "The Shikigami Mercenary Group has sent quite a few powerful fighters."

Helian Qi turned her gaze in the same direction and asked gravely, "Father, has there been any response from Panzhou?"

Helian Yu shook his head. "None."

Helian Qi's expression sank.

***

Meanwhile, in the Nine Continents City, Pan Ling was standing at the entrance of the great hall with an elder at her side.

Pan Ling asked, "What's the situation?"

The elder solemnly replied, "The Shikigami Mercenary Group has dispatched many strong fighters, but they haven't acted yet. They're waiting to see the victor between Helian Fu or that elite from the Genesis Daoist Temple."

Pan Ling nodded slightly and remained silent.

After hesitating for a moment, the elder said, "Miss, the Helian Clan has been persistently reaching out to us, hoping we can join forces against our enemies."

Pan Ling shook her head. "Decline their request."

The elder reminded her, "Miss, the Shikigami Mercenary Group is also our enemy..."

"I know." Pan Ling nodded. "But right now, the Helian Clan isn't just dealing with the Shikigami Mercenary Group—they also have the Genesis Daoist Temple to contend with. Taking a stand against the Genesis Daoist Temple for someone of unclear origins is a foolish move."

She was aware that Ye Guan was Ye An's younger brother and was likely being backed by a powerful force. After all, Ye An was extraordinarily gifted, the kind of talent no ordinary power could nurture.

Yet even so, in her eyes, Ye Guan wasn't worth Panzhou antagonizing the Genesis Daoist Temple, which was an ancient and formidable entity.

Especially when they had the Creation God, who had created the cultivation system itself. No matter how formidable the power backing Ye Guan and Ye An was, they couldn't possibly contend against the Genesis Daoist Temple.

The elder nodded slightly and said, "I'll deliver the refusal at once."

With that, he retreated into the shadows.

***

Meanwhile, Helian Fu and the middle-aged man with the saber were still locked in a fierce battle.

Their clash sent shockwaves throughout the world, and the spacetime around them filled with unrelenting fist intent and saber intent. Each collision unleashed waves of devastating energy, shattering even the spacetime itself.

Boom!

A burst of saber light and fist list shattered.

A tremendous force sent both Helian Fu and the middle-aged man hurtling backward.

Helian Fu stopped after retreating nearly ten thousand meters. The moment he steadied himself, his right hand clenched tightly, releasing a dominating martial force that swept across the battlefield.

Not far away, the middle-aged man raised his saber defensively before him, fully resisting Helian Fu's imposing martial force.

Helian Fu slowly lifted his gaze to the middle-aged man and broke into a grin. "A fine saber cultivator."

The middle-aged man stared back and replied, "And you're not bad yourself."

"Hahaha!"

Helian Fu suddenly burst into laughter. He raised his hands slightly, and in an instant, a colossal figure, a thousand meters tall, materialized behind him—an overwhelming pressure swept across the battlefield.

This was the Great Dao Manifestation—the tangible condensation of one's Great Dao. When the Great Dao Manifestation was unleashed, the middle-aged man's expression turned grave, and the saber in his hand trembled violently.

Helian Fu clenched his right hand into a fist, and the Great Dao Manifestation behind him mirrored his move.

Boom!

With just a single wave of its fist, the Great Dao Manifestation sent the middle-aged man flying thousands of meters away.

Helian Fu took a step forward and punched again. "Perish!"

The Great Dao Manifestation behind him followed suit, unleashing a devastating punch.

The force of the punch was overwhelming, suppressing everything in its path.

The middle-aged man's pupils contracted sharply. This punch's power was at least ten times stronger than before; it was utterly terrifying!

Not daring to take any chances, the man gripped his saber with both hands and slashed out with all his might. A massive saber light, spanning thousands of feet, surged forth to meet the punch head-on.

However, the saber light shattered upon contact with the fist. The middle-aged man was sent flying, his fleshly body disintegrating inch by inch under the impact.

When he finally stopped, only a wisp of soul, faint like smoke, remained of him.

The middle-aged man looked in a daze at Helian Fu.

Without saying a word, Helian Fu turned around and walked away.

With just a single step, he was back in front of the tavern.

Elder Gu's expression turned exceedingly grim at the sight.

Helian Fu had won again?

Just then, an unforeseen event occurred.

A mysterious force dragged Helian Fu away into an unknown void.

A woman was standing in front of Helian Fu.

She was none other than Divine Attendant Pei—one of the four Divine Attendants of the Creation God! Divine Attendant Pei walked up to Helian Fu and asked, "Do you think you're invincible?"
