<h4>Chapter 960: There’s No Need</h4>
When Ye Guan rushed into the Tianxing Life World, the Talisman God and the Mirror Goddess instantly turned as pale as a sheet of paper. Furious, the two of them charged toward the Tianxing Life World.
This Tianxing Life World was the core of the Tianxing Civilization.
The Tianxing Life Tree was even more important than their own lives. If the Tianxing Life Tree were destroyed, even dying ten thousand times wouldn''t be enough to atone for that mistake.
At this moment, the two of them no longer cared about the power of the divine sword in Ye Guan''s hand. They had only one goal in mind—to stop Ye Guan.
<i>BOOM!</i>
A thunderous boom echoed, and a silhouette was sted away from the Tianxing Life World.
The silhouette traveled through the air for several hundred thousand meters before finally stopping. The spacetime surrounding the figure caved in as soon as the figure came to a halt.
The figure belonged to none other than Ye Guan.
The two gods let out a sigh of relief at the sight. Then, they looked at the Tianxing Life World and saw a man in ck battle armor walking out of the entrance. The man''s face was stern, and his gaze was as cold as ice.
His ck armor was made with unknown materials.
Its surface was as dark as ink, and moltenva-like mes flowed slowly within it. The two gods exchanged nces and sighed in relief once again.
The man in ck armor was an Imperial Guard Officer!
There were three Imperial Guard Officers among the Imperial Guards, and the one before them was Lang Xiao.
The Hall of Guards had a special ce in the Tianxing Civilization. They only obeyed the orders of the Tianxing Ruler, and aside from guarding the Tianxing Pce, they were also responsible for protecting the Tianxing Life World.
Lang Xiao looked at Ye Guan in the distance, and his gaze lingered momentarily on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Guan''s hand.
The Talisman God warned, "Lang Xiao, his sword is extremely strong. Be very careful."
<i>Swoosh!</i>
Ye Guan suddenly vanished.
Lang Xiao''s eyes narrowed, and he clenched his right hand into a fist.
A congration erupted from his palm.
<i>Swoosh!</i>
Ye Guan''s sword flew toward Lang Xiao''s face.
Lang Xiao took a big step forward and threw a punch.
<i>Boom!</i>
A ming fist imprint instantly swept across the heavens.
Before Ye Guan''s sword could even get close to Lang Xiao, it was stopped in its tracks by the huge fist imprint. Nevertheless, the Qingxuan Sword immediately destroyed the fist imprint. However, Ye Guan could not withstand the remnant energies and was sted away.
Before he could even stop and regain his bnce, Lang Xiao took to the sky above him. Lang Xiao''s ck armor erupted into mes—a dark red Tianxing me!
Lang Xiao roared and punched Ye Guan.
<i>Boom!</i>
A thousand-meter-long ming fist imprint carrying an earth-shattering and terrifying might descended, colliding with Ye Guan.
The world seemed to be boiling beneath the fist imprint.
Ye Guan waved his hand, and the Qingxuan Sword took to the sky.
The beam of blood-red sword light collided with the ming fist imprint.
<i>Bang!</i>
As soon as the sword light made contact with the ming fist imprint, the imprint shattered with a loud explosion, breaking into countless fiery fragments that scattered across the sky like dazzling fireworks.
Lang Xiao was just about to strike again, but the spacetime around him suddenly transformed into grids.
The Mirror Goddess'' expression changed, and she shouted, "Watch out!"
Lang Xiao felt uneasy at the sight. He clenched his fists tightly and crossed them before his chest. At the same time, a myriad of sword lights manifested in front of him.
"Control!" Lang Xiao roared, stretching his arms forward.
<i>Boom!</i>
A giant ming shield appeared out of thin air in front of Lang Xiao, and there was a burning me in the middle of the shield. The me was none other than the Tianxing me.
A myriad of sword lights struck the giant ming shield, but the shield remained sturdy.
Just then, a sword suddenly appeared in front of Lang Xiao.
Lang Xiao panicked, and the Qingxuan Sword struck the ming shield.
<i>Boom!</i>
The me shield shattered.
Lang Xiao retreated frantically, not daring to fight Ye Guan head-on.
However, Ye Guan clearly had no ns of letting him go as the spacetime around him transformed into a myriad of grids, cutting off his escape route.
Lang Xiao''s face twisted fiercely, and he spread his arms, sending out a wave of terrifyingly hot mes. The flying sword lights were sted away, but a sword suddenly appeared silently in front of him.
Phantom Edge!
However, it was executed with the Qingxuan Sword!
Lang Xiao was utterly terrified, but he could not retreat.
He could only take it head-on!
Lang Xiao roared. He clenched his fists, and his armor erupted into mes once again. An illusory giant armor covered in mes enveloped his figure.
Tianxing me Armor!
This was the Hall of Guard''s state-of-the-art and unique divine armor, researched and developed by High Goddess Tianyun many years ago. One would be invincible with this armor.
The Qingxuan Sword struck true, but...
<i>Boom!</i>
The me armor trembled violently, but it did not shatter from the attack.
Lang Xiao was overjoyed. However, the Qingxuan Sword quivered violently, and the me armor exploded into pieces. The Qingxuan Sword then pierced Lang Xiao''s chest.
<i>Boom!</i>
Lang Xiao''s eyes widened in shock as he was pinned in ce, and his aura instantly dissipated.
The Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God were beyond shocked by the sight.
They rushed toward Ye Guan, attempting to rescue Imperial Guard Officer Lang Xiao. However, Ye Guan was incredibly fast. When the Qingxuan Sword pierced Lang Xiao''s abdomen, thetter''s soul was instantly absorbed.
Ye Guan''s palm opened, and the Qingxuan Sword reappeared in his hand. He turned to look at the Talisman God and the Mirror Goddess.
The faces of the two were filled with fear, and they retreated frantically.
If Ye Guan did not have that sword, they would have been fearless. But with the Qingxuan sword in his hand, the Talisman God and the Mirror Goddess dared not to fight Ye Guan head-on.
The Qingxuan Sword''s origin was unknown, but it was an extremely powerful sword. It seemed to be capable of infinitely surpassing one''s expectations.
Seeing that the two were not going to make a move, Ye Guan didn''t pursue them. Instead, he turned around and transformed into a streak of sword light, rushing toward the entrance of the Tianxing Life World.
The Mirror Goddess was about to act upon seeing that, but the Talisman God stopped her.
The Mirror Goddess looked at the Talisman God, who said nothing but stared at the distant Tianxing Life World.
Under their watch, Ye Guan arrived at the entrance of the Tianxing Life World.
<i>Rumble!</i>
All of a sudden, a finger suddenly descended upon Ye Guan. A domineering force immediately pressed down on him, pinning him in ce.
Ye Guan looked up, and the Qingxuan Sword soared into the sky.
<i>Boom!</i>
The giant finger couldn''t block the Qingxuan Sword, and it shattered instantly.
However, a shadowy figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan.
<i>Bam!</i>
Ye Guan was sted away, and the spacetime behind him was torn apart.
While flying away, Ye Guan reached out with his hand, and the Qingxuan Sword turned into a streak of sword light that flew toward him.
The next moment, however, a shadowy figure appeared in front of the Qingxuan Sword and grabbed it. The sword trembled violently but could not break free from his grasp.
The person holding the Qingxuan Sword was a middle-aged man dressed in a loose, dark robe with long hair cascading down his shoulders. He was wearing a pair of dark iron bracers.
The Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God in the distance were astonished to see him. They hadn''t expected him to appear here.
The man was Cang He, the Hall Master of the Hall of Guards.
Cang He hadn''t been seen for millions of years now. As the guard of the Tianxing Ruler, his whereabouts were unknown to anyone except the Tianxing Ruler herself.
Cang He was an elusive and mysterious figure.
Of course, the most elusive was still the Divine Imperial Guard Officer, who had not been seen for over a hundred million years. Others had spected that he was in the Wujian Universe, trying his best to rescue the Tianxing Ruler.
The Tianxing Civilization was in disarray, as they had never been invaded before. Aside from the nine colossal defense arrays on its perimeters, the Tianxing Civilization had many guards, so no one had expected someone to bypass all those and make it all the way to the Tianxing Life World.
Cang He grabbed the Qingxuan Sword and examined it carefully.
Soon, a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes. What a special sword.
For some reason, the Qingxuan Sword was not resisting, allowing Cang He to hold it.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan stood in the distance, still radiating a terrifying bloodline power. He was still growing even stronger.
The Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God appeared next to Cang He. They eyed the Qingxuan Sword, and the Mirror Goddess said solemnly, "This sword is very special. Even our divine treasures could be easily broken by it."
Cang He nodded slightly. "It''s indeed remarkable."
He then looked up at Ye Guan in the distance and nced at Yi Nian behind Ye Guan. "Is she from the Hall of Enforcement?"
The Mirror Goddess nodded. "Yes."
Cang He furrowed his brows. "What about the other members of the Hall of Enforcement?"
The Mirror Goddess solemnly replied, "The Chief Enforcement Officer and the others are in the Wujian Universe. Should we notify them?"
"There''s no need." Cang He shook his head. He then turned his gaze back to Ye Guan. "His strength is tied to this sword. Without it, he''s no threat to us."
The Mirror Goddess suddenly said, "It seems like he''s waiting for something."
Upon hearing that, Cang He frowned. Ye Guan stood motionless. It seemed like he was truly waiting for something.
Cang He stared at Ye Guan. "He wouldn''t have been here if it hadn''t been for this sword. I''m going to use an ordinary sword to kill him. It will be a fitting retribution."
With that, he trembled and transformed into a streak of sword light, vanishing from his location.
Cang He''s power was already formidable, and now wielding this divine sword, his aura was extraordinarily strong, as if he could destroy even the Tianxing Divine World with a single strike.
The Talisman God and the Mirror Goddess, observing this scene, were both in shock.
Cang He was incredibly fast. He reached Ye Guan in the blink of an eye, but Ye Guan remained frozen as if he had no intention of moving away.
