Chapter 373: Promise Me, Don’t Call for Help!

Yang Jia!

Ye Tianming looked at Yang Jia, also quite surprised.

Wasn’t this guy exiled?

How did he show up again?

Of course, it didn’t matter.

Yang Jia looked at Ye Tianming with a calm expression, but his heart was anything but calm.

Ever since Yang Jia had returned to the Guanxuan Universe, he had never imagined he would lose to someone his own age, and on top of that, he had lost three times in a row.

What a failure!

Without a doubt, compared to the Yang family’s Tianming figures of previous generations, he was undeniably the biggest failure.

He didn’t want to keep losing!

He wanted to conquer the demon in his heart.

He pulled his thoughts back and looked toward Ye Tianming in the distance, “I just want to fight you one more time.”

Ye Tianming looked at Yang Jia and said calmly, “I’m not really in the mood.”

Yang Jia was silent for a moment, then said, “This should be the last time.”

As he spoke, the sword in his hand suddenly began to tremble.

Hum!

A sword cry suddenly rang out across the entire sky and space.

An endless sword intent erupted from Yang Jia’s body all at once, like a volcanic eruption, instantly sweeping across heaven and earth. Terrifying waves of sword pressure surged and spread like a tide through the surrounding space, and the fabric of time and space around them began to boil at that very moment.

Witnessing this, Jin Qing and the others were all startled. The strength of this young sword cultivator was clearly quite a bit stronger than that Huai Qing, no, not just a bit, far, far stronger.

Nearby, Ke Sheng fixed his gaze on Yang Jia, a hint of gravity in his eyes, and said in a low voice, “This person also comes from the Guanzhi Universe!”

The moment those words came out, Chu Nai and the others were all taken aback. Jin Qing said in shock, “He also comes from the Guanzhi Universe?”

Ke Sheng nodded, “He is the son of the Guanxuan Sword Master, named Yang Jia.”

The Guanxuan Sword Master!

His son!

Jin Qing and the others shifted their gazes back to Yang Jia. Jin Qing said softly, “No wonder this person is so strong…..so he’s the son of the Guanxuan Sword Master.”

Jie Jie said in a low voice, “The Guanzhi Universe……is no simple place.”

Jin Qing and the others nodded. They had also noticed that this Guanzhi Universe was not as simple as they had thought. The beings living within it were truly…..something else.

Not far away, Ye Tianming watched Yang Jia calmly, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.

Yang Jia said nothing more. He suddenly charged forward, and when he closed to within a few zhang of Ye Tianming, he abruptly drew his sword with full force.

Hum!

In an instant, a terrifying sword intent exploded outward, directly shattering the space around Ye Tianming!

Sword Art: Heaven-Cleaving Draw!

And it was stacked over ten thousand times!

The sword intent that erupted in that single moment was at least dozens of times stronger than Huai Qing’s!

The instant they felt Yang Jia’s sword intent, the expressions of Jin Qing and the others changed immediately.

What a terrifying sword intent!

Ye Tianming suddenly gripped the Tianming Sword and slashed forward with full force.

A direct clash!

Boom!

As a deafening explosion rang out, a burst of sword light erupted between the two of them. With the two as the center, the surrounding space cracked apart like a spider’s web and spread outward at a terrifying speed!

And at the spot where the two stood, wave after wave of fearsome sword qi shockwaves kept expanding outward in all directions.

Ye Tianming did not retreat a single step!

But the expressions of Jin Qing and the others darkened, because they noticed that the starlight on Ye Tianming’s body had begun to dim little by little under Yang Jia’s sword strike!

His Indestructible Stellar Body had not fully withstood Yang Jia’s terrifying blow!

Just then, Yang Jia suddenly let out a roar, raised his longsword high, and slashed downward again with full force. With that slash, a terrifying domain suddenly appeared all around, suppressing Ye Tianming!

Invincible Sword Domain!

Forcibly suppressing Ye Tianming!

Under the suppression of the Invincible Sword Domain, the power of Ye Tianming’s stellar force was instantly reduced by more than half. At the same time, that sword strike landed hard on Ye Tianming’s shoulder.

Bang!

Countless bursts of sword light exploded outward.

Ye Tianming was sent flying back a hundred zhang!

As he was pushed back, streaks of starlight shattered one after another.

Seeing this, the expressions of Jin Qing and the others in the distance immediately darkened.

After Ye Tianming came to a stop, the stellar armor on his body also rapidly began to dim.

In the distance, Yang Jia did not press the attack. His eyes slowly closed, and his sword intent surged outward once more.

His sword intent was filled with an endless killing aura, and he hadn’t even activated his Frenzied Demon bloodline yet.

For the sake of this battle today, he had spent this period of time throwing himself into all kinds of battlefields to temper himself, and in the process, he had faced countless life-and-death situations.

But he had never once backed down!

All for this one battle today!

Reconciliation?

Even if there was to be a reconciliation, it would only come after he, Yang Jia, had defeated Ye Tianming.

Otherwise, any so-called reconciliation would be meaningless.

A man’s dignity could only be reclaimed through strength.

Yang Jia slowly opened his eyes. In his hand, the sword trembled and rang without cease. Throughout heaven and earth, terrifying waves of sword intent kept surging, and everyone felt a sense of pressure unlike anything they had experienced before.

Compared to before, his sword dao was no longer as sharp and exposed, yet it had grown far stronger.

Yang Jia suddenly began walking slowly toward Ye Tianming. The moment he moved, all the terrifying sword intent that had been drifting through heaven and earth suddenly rushed toward him like a tide. In no time at all, every last bit of sword intent had gathered into the sword in Yang Jia’s hand.

Hum!

The sword in Yang Jia’s hand shuddered violently. The next moment, a sword cry rang out across all of heaven and earth, and at the same time, Yang Jia suddenly vanished from where he stood.

Whoosh!

A streak of sword light flashed across the field like a thunderbolt. When that sword light reached Ye Tianming, the Invincible Sword Domain appeared once more, forcibly suppressing him.

Sword technique combined with sword domain!

During his time tempering himself, he had already perfectly fused the two together. Even some cultivators of higher cultivation than him had fallen to this combination.

Ye Tianming watched Yang Jia’s sword strike calmly. Suddenly, the Tianming Sword in his hand shuddered violently. The next moment, the sword thrust forward directly. On the Tianming Sword, countless stars surged. Almost simultaneously, deep within the cosmic river of stars, every star blazed with blinding brilliance!

Sword Dao!

Star God Dao!

Two paths merged as one!

This sword strike from Ye Tianming gathered the power of billions upon billions of stars.

At the same time, a mysterious barrier suddenly appeared on the field. The moment it appeared, it instantly countered and suppressed Yang Jia’s Invincible Sword Domain!

High above, Ling Shao beside Shen Qi said with some shock, “This is…….the Divine Domain!”

Shen Qi gave a slight nod and said nothing.

Below, the two swords clashed hard against each other.

Boom!

The entire area where they stood erupted with endless stellar power and sword light. Shockwave after shockwave kept bursting outward. Yang Jia himself was instantly sent flying thousands of zhang away, and the moment he came to a stop, a streak of stellar sword qi suddenly descended from above and came crashing down on him!

Yang Jia snapped his head up. Ignoring the discomfort within his body, he swung his sword in a fierce horizontal slash toward the sky.

Boom!

The starlight shattered, but Yang Jia himself was once again sent blasting backward in rapid retreat. This time, he was driven back far faster than before. Wherever he was pushed back through, the very space was scraped into a strikingly visible gash.

At that moment, a sword cry suddenly rang out across the field, and immediately after, a streak of stellar sword qi came slashing toward Yang Jia!

It was Ye Tianming.

Yang Jia’s pupils contracted slightly. He gripped his sword with both hands and slashed forward with full force.

One Sword to Decide Life and Death!

The moment he unleashed this strike, his own sword intent surged once more.

When he executed this sword technique now, both its power and its sword intent were far, far greater than before.

Because the momentum he now possessed was his own sword intent and fighting spirit, whereas the momentum he had relied on before came more from the Yang family.

The two were worlds apart!

Bang!

His sword struck hard against Ye Tianming’s blade.

Boom!

Countless bursts of sword light shattered. The terrifying impact instantly sent Yang Jia blasting back tens of thousands of zhang. His figure moved like the wind, stumbling several steps through the void before barely managing to steady himself. The moment he stopped, countless streaks of stellar sword qi came swarming in from all directions, dense and overwhelming, like the Milky Way pouring down, instantly engulfing the entire area where he stood.

Yang Jia’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply. Faced with this all-encompassing torrent of stellar sword qi, he knew he had no way out. He held his sword in his right hand and raised it horizontally in front of him, while his left hand clenched tightly.

Boom!

In an instant, countless streaks of sword light flew out from within his body, carrying a razor-sharp aura that surged outward in all directions, instantly annihilating the stellar sword qi surrounding him.

Inch Sword Domain!

Within this inch of space that was his, sword light cut down everything. No force could enter his domain!

“What a terrifying sword technique!”

On the other side, Jin Qing’s expression was extremely grave at the sight of this.

The other palace masters also nodded one after another, their expressions somewhat solemn. The sword technique Yang Jia had unleashed made even them feel threatened!

Damn it!

How could there be so many freaks down here?

Jie Jie suddenly said, “Have you all noticed, Yang Jia and the God know each other.”

Know each other!

The moment those words came out, the expressions of everyone present became a little unnatural.

They had naturally noticed this as well……but had all tacitly pretended not to see it.

Jie Jie was about to say something more when Chu Nai beside him suddenly said, “What is a god? A god is all-knowing and all-powerful…….so what’s strange about him knowing Yang Jia?”

Everyone: “…….”

In the distance, after Yang Jia unleashed the Inch Sword Domain, every streak of stellar sword qi that drew near was instantly shattered.

Ye Tianming also did not press the attack. He gave a light wave of his right sleeve, and all the stellar sword qi flew back to his side. Deep within the cosmic river of stars, all the stars seemed to sense Ye Tianming and rearranged themselves one by one. Streams of stellar power quietly gathered, ready at any moment to answer Ye Tianming’s call.

After Ye Tianming withdrew his stellar sword qi, Yang Jia slowly unclenched his left hand. The sword qi around his body did not dissipate, but instead circled around him in flight, sharp and lethal beyond measure.

Yang Jia looked up at Ye Tianming, his expression stirred with emotion, “Ye Tianming, I’m different from before.”

Ye Tianming looked at him, “Promise me, don’t call for backup.”

Yang Jia: “……”
