I Have A Sword

Chapter 40: Fury

Ye Guan was silent as he stared at the Sky-grade demonic beast internal pill in front of him.

Its too precious. How can I accept a Sky-grade demonic beast internal pill for a book?

Ye Guan shook his head slightly and said, Bear King, this pill is too precious!

The Bear King smiled. You dont want it?

Ye Guan shook his head and explained, I gave you the book because I wanted to do so. A Sky-grade demonic beast internal pill is simply too valuable to be exchanged for a book. It would be immoral of me to keep it.

Ye Guan was moved by the offer because a Sky-grade demonic beast internal pill was still quite valuable. However, Ye Guan had never been the type to take advantage of the kindness of others.

The Bear King looked at Ye Guan for a moment before smiling. Human, youre different! You dont treat me like a fool like other humans do.

Ye Guan froze. FiNd pdtes on n()/vln(.)cm

I will be keeping this book, then. The Bear King chuckled. It raised its paw and said to the other black bears, Let them go.

The black bears made a path for the pair.

Thank you, said Ye Guan with his hands cupped in front of him before taking Nalan Jia away.

The Bear King called out to Ye Guan. Human!

Ye Guan turned to look at the Bear King.

The Bear King smiled and said, The territory of the Heavenly Wolf Clan is up ahead. You should go around and avoid them.

Ye Guan smiled. Thank you!

Nalan Jia surreptitiously glanced at the black bears and saw a boulder. Nalan Jias brows furrowed when she saw several human corpses behind the boulder.

Meanwhile, a black bear next to the Bear King asked, Bear King, why did you let them go?

The Bear King was staring into the distance. It didnt bother to turn and look at the black bear before saying, Hes also attempting to cross the canyon like the others, but he is different from them. He didnt treat me like a fool.

Is it really just because of that? asked the black bear, seemingly unconvinced.

The Bear King calmly explained, He didnt get scared, even though he was standing in front of our entire clan. He spoke respectfully and calmly. People like them tend to have trump cards up their sleeves.

So I decided to approach him differently and create good karma between us rather than risk mutual destruction. Who knows? Perhaps the good karma we have established will prove useful in the future.

With that, the Bear King looked down at the black bear and continued. Humans, bears it doesnt matter. We must know how to adapt and read the air. We cannot act rashly and do things without thinking.

The black bear nodded in response and said, In other words, if they can be beaten, fight them. If not, befriend them. Did I get it right?

The Bear King boisterously laughed. You got it!

Ye Guan and Nalan Jia left the canyon and listened to the Bear Kings advice to go around.

That Bear King was extraordinary.. said Nalan Jia.

Ye Guan smiled and said, An ordinary being cannot become the king of a clan.

Nalan Jia smiled as well and said, I thought you would accept the internal pill.

Actually, Nalan Jia wanted to accept it, but Ye Guan beat her to the chase and rejected the offer.

Ye Guan shook his head and explained, Those who chase petty gains tend to lose even more. I also dont think that its a good thing to exploit others.

Nalan Jia nodded slightly. I agree.

Ye Guan looked around and muttered, I wonder how Siao Ge and Sun Xiong are right now

He was slightly worried about them. The Endless Demon Domain seemed like it truly had an endless amount of Sky-rank demonic beasts. The demonic beasts were gathered in clans as well.

An encounter with an entire demonic beast clan was enough to bring despair to anyone, and even Ye Guan would have no choice but to retreat if hundreds of bears were to surround him.

Im not afraid of one-on-one battles but against a group of demonic beasts? Im honestly a bit scared.

Just then, Nalan Jia spoke, sounding serious, Im afraid that not many of us can pass this round.

Ye Guan nodded in agreement. Indeed, this round is a bit too difficult.

Nalan Jia shook her head and said, Ive heard that the Zhongtu Divine Continent is even more ruthless.

Ye Guan was curious. What do you mean?

Nalan Jia turned to look at Ye Guan and asked, Do you know how many people theyll accept from the Upper Realm after this contest?

Ye Guan shook his head.

Nalan Jia exclaimed, One!

Ye Guan was shocked. Theyll only accept one person?

Nalan Jia nodded. Rumor has it that theyre going to accept only the champion of this martial contest.

Ye Guan fell silent. The Zhongtu Divine Continent would only accept the champion of the martial contest. Ye Guan had to admit that it was too extreme.

However, it seemed that Nalan Jia wasnt done dropping bombshells as she said eagerly, Thats nothing! Ive heard that the acceptance rate of the Main Academy is even more abysmal than the acceptance rate of the Zhongtu Divine Continent itself.

Its extremely difficult and even nigh impossible for people at the bottom to climb up the ranks, Nalan Jia said and shook her head.

Ye Guan smiled softly at her and said, And that is why we have to work even harder. After all, we dont have a strong family background to support us.

Yup! Nalan Jia smiled and exclaimed, Lets work hard together!

Ye Guan nodded, and the pair picked up the pace. Soon, the two had made it around the Heavenly Wolf Clans territory. They were getting closer and closer to the Guanxuan Academys flag.

Ye Guan looked up at the mountain and smiled.

Well be there once we cross that mountain, he said.

Nalan Jia nodded, and they started moving even faster.

The pair were worried about Siao Ge and Sun Xiong, but they had no choice but to keep on traveling toward the flag. Finding the two within the vast mountain range was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Soon, the pair arrived at the summit of the mountain, and they were only a few kilometers away from the flag.

They were all smiles as they continued on their journey toward the flag. However, a boisterous peal of laughter forced them to stop in their tracks.

Hahaha, there are two more!

Ye Guan and Nalan Jia turned and saw a tall bearded man clad in a black robe walking toward them with a vulgar look. The crazed glint in his eyes made it obvious that he wasnt approaching the pair with good intentions.

The bearded mans eyes lit up when he clapped eyes on Nalan Jia. He grinned and exclaimed, What a beautiful woman! Ive never seen such a beautiful woman before. Tsk, tsk, tsk

Ye Guan stared deeply at the bearded man. The bearded man was a demon rather than a human being, and he was a Sky-rank demon at that.

The bearded man stared at Nalan Jia while grinning. You two should be Ye Guan and Nalan Jia. Someone paid me a lot to get rid of you two, but I didnt expect that Lady Nalan here would be so gorgeous. I think even an eunuch will be attracted to her!

Swoosh!

The bearded mans pupils constricted upon seeing Ye Guan charging at him.

What a frightening speed! He could only raise his arms to protect his head.

However, Ye Guans target was his family jewels.

Pak!

Aaaaaarghhhh! The bearded mans miserable cry filled the air, and no one could blame the bearded man for letting out such a miserable cry. After all, Ye Guans attack was so powerful that even a child could deduce that at least an egg had cracked.

The bearded man inadvertently reached out for his family jewels.

Ye Guan immediately took advantage of that opening to punch the bearded mans throat.

Boom!

The bearded man should have been sent flying by the attack, but Ye Guan grabbed the bearded mans ankle and slammed him to the ground.

Boom!

The impact was so powerful that it created a human-shaped crater in the ground.

Ye Guan loomed over the bearded man and said, I thought that demons like you would have basic decency, but it seems that I was mistaken.

The bearded man glared hatefully at Ye Guan and roared. Look around you!

A group of demons had unknowingly surrounded Ye Guan and Nalan Jia. Ye Guan glanced at them once and deduced that there had to be hundreds of demons in the group.

The bearded man smiled sinisterly and said, Kill me, and my Barbarian Clan will tear the woman you love into pieces!

Ye Guan grinned at the bearded man. Is that so? Then, Ill wipe the Barbarian Clan off the face of the earth today!

Boom!

There was a loud noise and a grotesque sound as Ye Guans punch shattered every bone in the bearded mans body.

The bearded man roared furiously, Kill him! Kill him! Leave the woman behind

The barbarians rushed to attack Ye Guan.

Ye Guan glared murderously at the demons charging toward him, and a faint red color dyed the corners of his eyes.
