Chapter 151: The Way of Book and Sword!

Die?

　　Ye Tianming had no intention of dying.

　　Yang Jia wasn’t dead yet!

　　How could he,Ye Tianming,die?

　　He,Ye Tianming,had to keep living.

　　And for the rest of his days,he would live for one purpose alone: revenge.

　　Even if he stood alone in this world with nothing but a sword,he would live!

　　He hadn’t even made it out of the mountain range when a woman stepped into his path. She wore a long robe and held a sword in her hand,and a terrifying sword intent radiated from her body,enveloping him completely.

　　This woman was none other than the Sect Master of Sword Sect!

　　Seeing her,Ye Tianming wasn’t particularly surprised,because he knew that Guanxuan Universe would never let him walk away alive.

　　The Sword Sect Master looked at Ye Tianming. “You’ve done nothing wrong,but you have to die.”

　　Even she couldn’t help but be shaken by Ye Tianming’s talent. As Bai Ci had said,someone like this truly could not be allowed to live. Otherwise,he would one day become a great enemy of Guanxuan Universe.

　　”What kind of logic is that?”

　　At that moment,a voice suddenly came from behind the Sword Sect Master.

　　The Sword Sect Master turned to look. Not far away,a young woman was walking toward them.

　　It was Qingshu.

　　The Sword Sect Master fixed her gaze on Qingshu. “You’re the Chief Executive of Tianxing Civilization.”

　　Qingshu nodded. “Sword Sect Master,I’d like to ask you — if he’s done nothing wrong,why should he die?”

　　The Sword Sect Master’s expression was calm. “Why ask a question you already know the answer to?”

　　Right and wrong?

　　In this world,right and wrong often don’t matter.

　　Like right now — even if Ye Tianming was in the right,as long as he posed a threat to Guanxuan Universe,he had to die.

　　Qingshu looked at the Sword Sect Master. “I don’t agree with your thinking or your methods.”

　　The Sword Sect Master said,”Chief Executive,do you know what you’re doing?”

　　Qingshu nodded. “Of course I do.”

　　The Sword Sect Master stared at Qingshu for a moment,then suddenly,the sword in her hand transformed into a streak of sword light and slashed toward Qingshu.

　　A towering sword intent instantly split the surrounding heaven and earth apart.

　　Qingshu was unhurried. She extended a single finger and lightly tapped the air. Where her fingertip landed,space rippled like the surface of water,and in the next instant,a green light emerged — within it stood an ancient tree that soared into the sky.

　　Boom!

　　The Sword Sect Master’s strike was blocked head-on by Qingshu’s green light.

　　The Sword Sect Master narrowed her eyes slightly. She gripped her sword tightly in her left hand,and the sound of the blade’s hum surged into the sky,piercing the heavens.

　　That last strike,she hadn’t gone for the kill — the woman before her was a junior,after all. But she suddenly realized that this junior’s strength was far from simple.

　　Seeing that the Sword Sect Master was about to get serious,Qingshu suddenly pointed at Ye Tianming from a distance. A streak of cyan light wrapped around him and carried him back a thousand zhang,then surrounded and shielded him completely.

　　At this point,Ye Tianming had no combat ability whatsoever. In a battle of this level,without protection,a single breath of energy would be enough to obliterate his soul entirely.

　　Within the cyan light,Ye Tianming touched the space between his brows. Two marks rested there — one was the Heavenly Dao Mark from the real world,and the other was the Divine Mark given to him by the mysterious woman inside Guanxuan Dao. Both marks had never left him,following him all this time.

　　But right now,he had no way to draw on the power of either mark.

　　He was too weak. Far too weak.

　　He had never been this weak before.

　　As for the departure of Minggu Ling,he was somewhat surprised,but he could accept it. She had chosen him as her master because of his mortal bone,and now that the mortal bone was gone,it was only natural that she would leave. Fortunately,he had already learned her secret technique for temporarily elevating the physical body to the Circle-Breaking Realm. It was a shame that right now,he couldn’t do anything at all.

　　Hum!

　　Just then,a sword cry suddenly rang out from the distance. In the next instant,a streak of sword light crashed down toward Qingshu like a thunderbolt.

　　The Sword Sect Master was at the Circle-Breaking Realm — and not an ordinary Circle-Breaking Realm at that. The moment she unleashed her sword,a sword intent instantly blanketed the entire heaven and earth,and the surrounding space began to shatter,unable to withstand the force of her strike.

　　Not far away,Qingshu’s expression remained calm. She raised a single finger lightly,and in an instant,tens of millions of streaks of cyan light burst forth from the river of time and space. At the very last moment,those streaks of light converged into a single sword.

　　A sword cultivator!

　　Bang!

　　That cyan sword blocked the Sword Sect Master’s strike head-on — not only stopping the blade itself,but deflecting every last trace of her sword intent.

　　The Sword Sect Master looked at the cyan sword,her eyes narrowing slightly. “You’ve been acknowledged by the Life Divine Tree of your Tianxing Civilization.”

　　Qingshu nodded. “Yes.”

　　The Sword Sect Master said,”Impressive.”

　　With that,she suddenly vanished from where she stood.

　　Tens of thousands of sword beams rose from the ground and reached Qingshu in an instant.

　　Boom!

　　Countless streaks of cyan light were shattered one after another,and Qingshu was forced back ten thousand zhang.

　　The Sword Sect Master walked toward Qingshu with sword in hand,waves of sword intent surging around her like a tide,one after another.

　　She fixed her gaze on Qingshu. “You’re very strong,but you’re still young.”

　　With that,she suddenly leapt into the air,and in the next instant,a ten-thousand-zhang sword beam came crashing down from the sky,aimed straight at Qingshu.

　　A Circle-Breaking Realm sword cultivator!

　　And not an ordinary one at that — she was a terrifying existence capable of killing those at the same level in an instant.

　　Not far away,Qingshu smiled. “Worthy of being the disciple of the Guanxuan Sword Master……”

　　With that,she opened her palm.

　　Hum!

　　A sword suddenly appeared in her hand. It was unlike any other — formed entirely from countless ancient characters condensed together.

　　The Way of the Book Sword!

　　This was her sword path.

　　Entering the sword path through the written word!

　　The moment she drew her sword,tens of millions of ancient characters appeared throughout heaven and earth — each character a sword,each sword a path.

　　Not just a sword cultivator!

　　But also a scholar cultivator!

　　A battle between sword cultivators.

　　In the space between heaven and earth,the Sword Sect Master’s sword and Qingshu’s sword clashed fiercely. Both of their sword paths represented the pinnacle of this world,and the moment they met,the fabric of space and time shattered inch by inch.

　　But just then,the Sword Sect Master suddenly sheathed her sword,and in the next instant,she drew it in a single violent slash.

　　Heaven-Cleaving Draw!

　　And she stacked it tens of thousands of times over!

　　With that one strike,all of Qingshu’s sword light shattered instantly,and the terrifying force of her sword path sent Qingshu flying back ten thousand zhang.

　　After forcing Qingshu back with that one strike,the Sword Sect Master didn’t press her advantage. Instead,she turned and drove her sword toward Ye Tianming not far away.

　　Her gaze was locked onto Ye Tianming. This man had to die. If he didn’t,Guanxuan Academy might one day be destroyed by his hand.

　　Seeing the Sword Sect Master coming for him,Ye Tianming’s expression was calm. At that moment,Qingshu suddenly appeared before him. She opened her palm,and thousands upon thousands of sword beams poured out,spreading across the sky like rivers and surging toward the Sword Sect Master.

　　Boom boom boom

　　Explosion after explosion rang out across the battlefield as countless sword beams shattered.

　　Qingshu chose not to clash head-on with the Sword Sect Master again,because she sensed many powerful presences surrounding them — the elites of Guanxuan Universe. It was clear that beyond the Sword Sect Master,other powerful figures from Guanxuan Universe had come to kill Ye Tianming as well.

　　Qingshu made a decisive move. She turned,grabbed Ye Tianming,and with a single tremor of her body,shattered the void and vanished into the far end of the star river.

　　She had to bring Ye Tianming back to Tianxing Civilization. Only then would he have any chance of surviving.

　　Seeing Qingshu flee with Ye Tianming,the Sword Sect Master was about to give chase when she suddenly turned her head. From within a certain fold of space and time,twelve top-tier powerhouses swept out. They ignored the Sword Sect Master entirely and leapt forward,pursuing Qingshu and Ye Tianming.

　　At the sight of this,Qingshu’s brows furrowed deeply,for those were the elites of Xianbao Pavilion.

　　Throughout all of Guanxuan Universe,aside from Sword Sect,none were more loyal to the Yang family than Xianbao Pavilion.

　　After a brief silence,the Sword Sect Master transformed into a streak of sword light and shot into the sky,joining the pursuit.

　　Kill Ye Tianming!

　　This was the unanimous decision of the entire Guanxuan Academy,for Ye Tianming had slaughtered far too many people. Everyone was gripped by fear. They knew that if Ye Tianming was allowed to live,the next time he returned,he would not hesitate to slaughter all of Guanxuan Universe.

　　This man didn’t just want to kill the Young Master Yang Jia — he wanted to bring down all of Guanxuan Universe!

　　Before,no one had believed Ye Tianming capable of overthrowing Guanxuan Academy. But they no longer thought that way. This man was too monstrous. He absolutely could not be allowed to grow any further.

　　He had to die!

　　At this moment,Guanxuan Academy was united as never before.

　　On the other side,Qingshu carried Ye Tianming through the tunnels of space and time. Her expression was slightly grave,for she understood that it wasn’t just the Sword Sect Master who wanted Ye Tianming dead — it was all of Guanxuan Academy.

　　Of course,she wasn’t surprised. To the entirety of Guanxuan Academy,Ye Tianming was now an enormous threat.

　　Qingshu turned to look at Ye Tianming,who was already looking at her. “Miss,who are you?”

　　She didn’t recognize the woman before her.

　　Qingshu smiled. “I wrote you a letter once.”

　　Ye Tianming was taken aback. “It was you.”

　　Qingshu nodded. “Yes.”

　　Ye Tianming looked at her. “Why did you save me?”

　　Qingshu said,”Two reasons. First,I can’t stand what Guanxuan Academy has been doing. Second,I’d like to invite you to join our Tianxing Civilization — it’s simple,really. We just need to turn you into a fruit.”

　　Ye Tianming: ???

　　Qingshu continued,”Young Master Ye,you need to pull yourself together.”

　　Ye Tianming shook his head. “Miss Qingshu,this will bring trouble upon you and your civilization.”

　　Qingshu said,”My teacher once said something to me. Do you know what it was?”

　　Ye Tianming shook his head. “I don’t.”

　　Qingshu smiled. “It was this: be kind.”

　　Ye Tianming lowered his head slightly. “My teacher once said something similar.”

　　Qingshu said,”That Master Mu?”

　　Ye Tianming nodded.

　　Qingshu let out a quiet sigh. “To think that Guanxuan Universe would produce someone like him. What a pity — had I known sooner,I would have come to pay my respects long ago……”

　　Ye Tianming looked at Qingshu. “Miss Qingshu,let me face Guanxuan Universe alone. I’ve already dragged far too many people down with me. I don’t want to do the same to you.”

　　Qingshu was about to respond when,all of a sudden,the space-time tunnel a thousand zhang ahead of them shattered. Then,a voice slowly rang out,”Ye Tianming must die! Whoever shelters him — we will destroy them!!”
