The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 411 I Can’t Beat Him!

The middle-aged man stared at the black-robed man. A moment later, he smiled, “I knew it! There must be someone powerful behind Ye Xuan, otherwise, how could he live till now?”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said, “May I know who you are!”

With that, he slowly clenched his right hand, and a mysterious force quietly gathered.

On the opposite side, the black-robed man took a step forward. It was an extremely calm step without any breath fluctuation.

But the middle-aged man looked very alert, because he knew that many times, after some of the strong men reached the level of returning to nature, their every word and deed contained the Tao of the heaven and the earth.

Although he did not feel the breath of the Tao at the moment, he still didn’t dare to be a little careless.

The more ordinary the action looked, the more extraordinary it may be!

Just then, the sword in front of the black-robed man suddenly trembled.

When the middle-aged man saw the sword, his look changed, and he could not help taking two steps back. Then the breath on him suddenly weakened a lot.

Aware of this, the middle-aged man’s pupils shrank slightly, and he was shocked. How could he be forced to retreat by a sword?

So he took two steps forward again!

Then his breath instantly strengthened a lot!

The middle-aged man was slightly relieved. When he looked at the sword again, his eyes were full of fear.

His heart of Tao of the Martial Arts was almost broken by a sword?

In the distance, the black-robed man suddenly said, “Not bad. You are even able to stabilize your heart of Tao of the Martial Arts after seeing me.”

The middle-aged man took a look at the black-robed man and slowly clenched his right hand, “May I know your name?”

The black-robed man said, “Name is just a symbol. Does it matter if you know my name or not? Listen to me, go back and wait. Five days later, I will visit the Gu family with my disappointing disciple. At that time, we will have a final fight with the Gu family.”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, “You will go to our Gu family?”

The black-robed man said, “Can’t I?”

The middle-aged man kept silent for a moment and then said, “Five days later, I, Gu Lian, will wait for you in our Gu family.”

With that, he turned around and left.

After Gu Lian left, the black-robed man turned around and fled immediately.

Of course, the black-robed man was Ye Xuan!

In the second floor of the Purgatory, Ye Xuan looked very dignified.

Because he found that at the time, there was still a big strength gap between him and the man named Gu Lian!

Unless he used Gods Dusk, otherwise, he was no match for that man at all.

However, even if he used Gods Dusk, he couldn’t be fully certain that he could kill that man. Once he failed, he would surely die!

Most importantly, he couldn’t take Ye Ling and Dugu Xuan to leave at the time, because there were so many people aiming at him.

But it was not a good idea to keep hanging back!

Strength!

Ye Xuan looked gloomy. At the moment, he still felt that his strength was seriously insufficient.

At the time, he didn’t fear the strong men of Supreme Realm at all. However, Gu Lian’s realm was obviously above Supreme Realm.

There was a big realm gap between them. Even if he had Gods Dusk, the gap couldn’t be bridged.

Break through!

Ye Xuan sat down cross-legged and said in a deep voice in his heart, “Miss Jian, if I want to reach Source Realm...”

Jian Zizai suddenly said, “Don’t ask me about it. I don’t know about those inferior realms!”

Ye Xuan was speechless, “Miss Jian, you reached your present realm step by step, didn’t you? You...”

Jian Zizai said, “I reached my realm by one step. I’m different from you!”

Ye Xuan was stunned, and then he curled his lips, “You reached your realm by one step? Are you kidding?”

Jian Zizai said in a soft voice, “Tao, it seems to be very near, but it’s not that near. For some people, they are far away from the Tao, but for some people, they are only one step away from the Tao. There are many such people in the world.”

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice, “Miss Jian, who do you think are stronger, people who reach their realm step by step or people who reach their realm by one step?”

Jian Zizai kept silent for a moment and then said, “Does it make sense to ask these questions? In a word, you only need to understand one thing, that is, you are very weak now, very weak, understand?”

Ye Xuan, “...”

A moment later, Ye Xuan spread out his right hand and then grabbed gently. In a moment, the space trembled slightly...

Feeling the Source Power!

An hour later, Ye Xuan was overjoyed because he felt a mysterious energy. He used the force of space to gather it promptly. Soon, a rice-sized black spot appeared in his palm.

Seeing the black spot, Ye Xuan was stunned at once.

The Source Power was purple, wasn’t it?

After keeping silent for a while, he stopped thinking much about it and continued gathering the energy. Gradually, the black spot in his palm became bigger and bigger. Then it became thumb-sized and contained a force.

Ye Xuan looked dignified, because he felt that there was something wrong with this force, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Miss Jian, is there anything wrong with this?”

Jian Zizai said, “No. Get on with it.”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and continued condensing it. Soon, a black vortex appeared in his palm. As the black vortex appeared, the surrounding space suddenly vibrated. At the same time, the space in front of him began to be illusory!

Ye Xuan’s expression changed, “Miss Jian, what’s going on?”

Jian Zizai kept silent for a moment and then said, “The Ghost Qi!”

Ye Xuan asked hurriedly, “What is it?”

Jian Zizai said, “It’s a kind of Qi that sent out by the dead. I don’t know how many people have died here. Endless Ghost Qi gathers here. They are the most corrosive Qi in the world besides the Death Qi.”

Ye Xuan retreated continuously, because the space in front of him started to disappear little by little, which was extremely horrifying!

Jian Zizai continued, “Control them!”

Ye Xuan asked immediately, “How?”

Jian Zizai said, “Do what you did when you condense them!”

Ye Xuan tried to calm himself down. He raised his right hand slightly and then began to clench his hand slowly. Gradually, the Ghost Qi in front of him began to diminish. At last, it disappeared.

Ye Xuan was relieved at once when he saw the Ghost Qi disappear. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, “Miss Jian, the Ghost Qi is really scary.”

Jian Zizai said, “The Supreme Realm is above Source Realm, but few people know that there is a Hidden Realm between them, Yin Realm. The Source Power is Yang, and the Ghost Qi is Yin. It’s a good thing for you to control the Ghost Qi by mistake.”

Ye Xuan asked quickly, “Which one is more powerful, the Ghost Qi or the Source Qi?”

Jian Zizai said, “Hazard a guess!”

Ye Xuan, “...”

Jian Zizai said, “The Ghost Qi is extremely corrosive. Even the ultimate source of space can be corroded. If you can control it well, you can kill the strong men of Supreme Realm even if you don’t exert Invincible Golden Body and Gods Dusk. Most importantly, if you master the Source Qi after you master the Ghost Qi, the combination of the two will bring you surprises.”

Ye Xuan nodded, “Miss Jian, thank you for your advice.”

Jian Zizai said, “There are so much Ghost Qi in the Purgatory. You can gather them into Ghost Qi Swords. Then when you fight against people in the future, you can use them as flying swords. Ghost Qi is a kind of Qi, which is very different from the ordinary flying swords. It will be of extraordinary efficacy when you use it.”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “I see!”

Then he began to condense these Ghost Qi slowly. Soon, a sword appeared in front of him, a pitch-black sword!

Ghost Qi Sword!

The whole sword was about one meter long. It had no hilt and was pitch-black all over. Its whole body exuded an extremely cold breath.

Ye Xuan looked grave. Because this sword was dangerous, he didn’t dare to touch it himself. Unless he used Invincible Golden Body, otherwise, even his body that had been tempered by dipping in dragon’s blood couldn’t withstand the Ghost Qi’s corrosion.

Ye Xuan carefully put the Ghost Qi Sword into Prison World Tower. As soon as he entered it, Ling flew over. However, when she saw the sword, her expression suddenly changed. At the next moment, she punched it with a rush.

Boom!

This sword was directly blown off!

Ling was going to make another move. Ye Xuan stopped her quickly, “Ling, what are doing?”

Ling took a look at the sword with a cold look, “It has an evil breath!”

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly and then said, “It is used to fight with bad people. To fight with bad people, I need to use evil things. Understand?”

Ling didn’t speak. She still stared at the sword with an unkind look.

Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled. A moment later, under his constant persuasion, Ling expressed her willingness to let go of the sword for the time being...

Looking at Ling who was leisurely and carefree not far away, Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “Miss Jian, she seems to be stronger again.”

Jian Zizai said, “She is the body of the ultimate source. Naturally, she develops fast.”

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “I can’t tell her that she is good at fighting...”

He found that Ling’s strength was really dreadful. If she knew that she was good at fighting, she may be unruly.

A moment later, Ye Xuan left Prison World Tower, and then he came to the third floor of the Purgatory. He continued condensing the Ghost Qi Sword...

Four days later.

The Gu family.

As the head of the three aristocratic families in Heaven Region, the Gu family’s strength was undisputed, and its foundation was the profoundest among the three aristocratic families.

On this day, all the strong men of the Gu family came back.

Gu Lian stood above the Gu family’s mansion, and clasped him hands behind his back. He was just quietly standing there.

It was quiet all around, but the strong men of the Gu family were in the dark.

On this day, the whole Gu family was in battle array.

Waiting for Ye Xuan!

To be exact, they were waiting for the mysterious black-robed man!

They kept waiting from morning to noon, and then from noon to night, but Ye Xuan and the mysterious black-robed man still didn’t show up...

At night, an old man suddenly appeared beside Gu Lian, “Will they come?”

Gu Lian looked calm, “Just wait for them!”

The old man nodded slightly and retreated.

Soon, it was dawn. However, Ye Xuan and the black-robed man still didn’t show up...

In the air, Gu Lian’s expression was extremely gloomy.

In the Purgatory.

“Aren’t you going to the Gu family?”

“Did I say I will go there?”

“Yes, you did!”

“Well... I won’t go for the time being!”

“Why?”

“I...can’t beat them... I’ll go after I can!”

Jian Zizai, “...”
