I Have A Sword

Chapter 558: Aunt Plain Skirt Destiny Is Good At Escaping

"Ah!"

After being slapped by Plain Skirt Destiny, the Evil Dao went berserk. So much anger consumed her that her eyes looked as if they were about to shoot out flames. "How dare—"

Bam!

Before she could finish her sentence, Plain Skirt Destiny lifted her and violently slammed her into the ground, shattering spacetime in the process!

The Evil Dao was at a complete loss for words.

Plain Skirt Destiny stepped on the Evil Dao’s face with her right foot and then looked down at her. "You keep thinking highly of yourself, completely unaware that you are as insignificant and weak as an ant."

She put even more strength in her foot, causing the Evil Dao’s face to contort. Had the Evil Dao ever experienced such humiliation? Roaring in rage, she unleashed countless tribulation lightning bolts. However, before they could even materialize, they were shattered and crushed by a terrifying force.

Before her might, the evil beliefs of all living beings and tribulation forces were rendered useless. They couldn't even resist!

Panic spread in the Evil Dao’s heart, causing her to tremble uncontrollably and her eyes to fill with disbelief.

Plain Skirt Destiny just kept emotionlessly staring at her. "Weakling."

The Evil Dao looked back at her with terror-filled eyes.

"Y-you..." she stammered, her voice trembling.

Bang!

Plain Skirt Destiny kicked the Evil Dao's face, sending her flying thousands of meters away!

"You can fight him, but you can’t humiliate him. Understood?"

Shaken to her core, she looked back at Plain Skirt Destiny in fear. "You..."

Has this woman transcended the Great Dao? Even so, it should still be impossible for me to be this powerless against her! How is this possible?!

She was utterly bewildered. The martial faith in her heart collapsed, having realized that her opponent's capabilities were beyond even her understanding of martial arts. Before this battle, she had always thought that she had reached the ceiling of power.

Plain Skirt Destiny glared at her. "Come here!"

The Evil Dao’s expression darkened. She wanted to retreat, but a terrifying aura had locked her in place.

Plain Skirt Destiny raised her hand and delivered another slap.

Pa!

Blood sprayed from the Evil Dao's mouth. Plain Skirt Destiny pressed her fingers together and captured a drop. After smearing it on the corner of her mouth, she tore off a piece of her clothing...

Now, she looked as if she had just fought a fierce battle.

The Evil Dao was bewildered. What is she doing?

Plain Skirt Destiny turned around and waved her sleeve, releasing Ye Guan from the seal.

He couldn't help but be surprised to see her seemingly wounded. "Aunt, you..."

Plain Skirt Destiny calmly glanced at the Evil Dao. "She is very strong. I am no match for her."

The Evil Dao didn't know what to say. Meanwhile, Ye Guan's expression darkened, and his heart was filled with shock.

Even Aunt Plain Skirt Destiny can’t defeat her?

He had always thought that she was invincible. Now...

He turned to the Evil Dao. He never expected her to be even stronger than his aunt.

That’s ridiculous! I’m doomed!

Ye Guan went completely numb. His martial faith was starting to collapse.

"Go on without me. I’ll stay behind to deal with her," Plain Skirt Destiny said.

"Aunt, I..."

"Focus on cultivating. You are our final hope."

She then glanced sideways at White Skirt Destiny.

Catching onto Plain Skirt Destiny's plan, White Skirt Destiny grabbed Ye Guan by the arm. With her voice trembling, she said, "Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to escape."

White Skirt Destiny led him away, eventually disappearing into the distant sky.

Once Ye Guan was gone, Plain Skirt Destiny turned to the Evil Dao. Her expression immediately changed, causing the Evil Dao to hastily back away.

"Even a dog is stronger than you," Plain Skirt Destiny blandly remarked.

She then transformed into a ray of sword light and disappeared into the depths of space.

Evil Dao’s sour expression showed how terrified she was. She had heard of Plain Skirt Destiny before and knew that she was Ye Guan’s aunt, but she had never fought against her before. She expected Plain Skirt Destiny to have only transcended the Great Dao at most. Someone of such caliber would not have been much of a threat to her. After all, she was the manifestation of the Great Dao itself.

However, Plain Skirt Destiny proved to be far more fearsome than she imagined. The Evil Dao still couldn't even believe that she was completely helpless against her.

"Do you know how weak you are now?" the True God queried.

The Evil Dao turned to her. "You should worry about yourself! In ten years, you will be consumed by the evil beliefs of all living beings. When that happens—"

"Oh, no! I’m scared! I’m so scared," Cizhen sarcastically replied.

She sympathetically glanced at the Evil Dao before turning to leave.

The Evil Dao couldn't help but feel displeased. What was that look in her eyes? Was that sympathy? What right does she have to pity me? How dare she?

She could vaguely sense that she was missing something but could not quite put a finger on it.

The Evil Dao took a deep breath, choosing not to further dwell on it. In ten years, Cizhen would die, and she would be able to break free. She would then suppress the Virtuous Dao and merge with it to become a complete entity. That would make her power reach unprecedented heights!

The Evil Dao looked at the distant end of the starry sky with resentment. I will pay you back for the humiliation I endured today!

Her eyes filled with murderous intent. Tribulation lightning bolts emanated all around her.

...

After being led away from the Tribulation Realm, Ye Guan entered the Time River with White Skirt Destiny. He hadn't spoken a word since, and his expression remained grim.

"Aunt, will Aunt Plain Skirt Destiny be okay?" he asked, finally breaking the silence.

White Skirt Destiny reassuringly smiled. "She’ll be fine. Even if she can’t defeat the Evil Dao, she can at least protect herself."

Ye Guan looked at the distant sky, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "I never imagined that the Evil Dao would be so powerful..."

"Well, she is the embodiment of the Great Dao. Furthermore, as the Evil Dao, she grows stronger every time she is suppressed. Since the True God has suppressed her multiple times already throughout the years, her power has now reached a terrifying level..."

She then looked at him with a serious expression. "Now, you are our final hope."

Ye Guan took a deep breath. He had to admit that he was starting to feel the pressure. He had always thought of Plain Skirt Destiny as an invincible and untouchable god. Today, however, the Evil Dao defeated her, shattering his godly image of her. Updated 𝒏ov𝒆ls on 𝒏ov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐m

No longer able to rely on Plain Skirt Destiny or his father as his last resort, he could only depend on himself now.

Apart from the Evil Dao, he also had to worry about the Clan Leader of the Past Clan, who could shatter even the Xuanyuan Sword. His enemies were very powerful, and his side was now at a disadvantage.

He tightly clenched his fists as his eyes filled with determination. "Aunt, please help me grow stronger!"

The corners of White Skirt Destiny’s lips curled up. "Of course! Let’s go look for that Ancestral Dragon."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Ancestral Dragon?"

White Skirt Destiny nodded. "We need to enhance not only your strength but Ao Qianqian’s as well. We also need the Four Great Ancestral Beasts to help you shape your Mortal Body."

Ye Guan’s expression became even heavier. He thought that constant battles would be enough to shape his Mortal Body, but to his surprise, he hadn't made any progress at all.

"Let’s go," his aunt urged.

She took him deeper into the current of the Time River.

Along the way, his expression remained grim. He couldn't shake off the image of blood on the corner of Plain Skirt Destiny’s lips.

She must have been heavily injured!

He worriedly looked behind him, making White Skirt Destiny feel a bit guilty. However, she knew that it would be better for Ye Guan to have no god in his heart.

With a faint smile, she proceeded to reassure him. "Don’t think too much about it. Your aunt is good at escaping!"

"Master Pagoda, do you feel like something is off?" Ye Guan asked in his mind.

"What do you mean?" Little Pagoda replied.

"I don’t know. I feel like I'm missing something."

"Don’t overthink it. You are our last hope now. Focus on becoming even more powerful. To that end, you have to prioritize shaping your Mortal Body. Do not dwell on anything else. You'd only waste your time if you overthink things. Got it?"

Ye Guan briefly nodded. "Yes."

Following Little Pagoda's advice, Ye Guan stopped dwelling on his thoughts.

White Skirt Destiny heaved a sigh of relief when he stopped asking questions. This little lad is hard to deceive.

After some time, she looked into the distance. "We’re almost at the Ancestral Dragon World."

"When you mentioned the Four Great Ancestral Beasts earlier, which beasts were you referring to?" Ye Guan asked.

"The Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Turtle Ancestor, the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Primordial Tiger Ancestor."

The Primordial Turtle Ancestor?

Ye Guan frowned.

"We’re here," White Skirt Destiny said.

With a wave of her sleeve, she tore open the spacetime before them. She then led Ye Guan into the Ancestral Dragon World.

Ye Guan's frown deepened the moment they entered. He could feel a very unusual energy. Something's wrong!

Upon reaching a vast expanse of stars, White Skirt Destiny frowned as well. The two were stunned by the scene before them.
