Chapter 1063: Reversing Death
Hearing Gu Xiu's words, Ye Guan's expression turned odd.
The Multiverse Emperor suddenly chuckled and said, "Little Xiu, her sword is interesting. Don't be careless."
Gu Xiu quickly nodded. "I hear and obey, Master."
As soon as Gu Xiu's words fell, Fu Wu vanished. A flash of sword light appeared, and it was already in front of him.
Confronting this lightning-fast strike, Gu Xiu didn't retreat but instead advanced, throwing a punch. With the punch, countless rays of white light surged forth.
Boom!
A burst of sword and white light exploded suddenly, and the powerful shockwave forced both of them to retreat repeatedly.
As soon as Fu Wu stopped, the next moment, she shot forward again like an arrow released from a bow.
Sword light shone across the sky!
In the distance, Gu Xiu's gaze was fierce. His right hand had a deep sword wound, and blood flowed continuously from it. Thanks to his special fleshly body, his wound was healing rapidly. Still, he was shocked, for he hadn't expected that his Temporal Body actually couldn't withstand the sword.
What kind of sword is that?
Before he could even make any guesses, he was forced to snap back to reality, as Fu Wu was already upon him.
Gu Xiu roared, and his aura surged. He extended his right hand, clenching it tightly and then twisting it.
Boom!
A strange vortex of time and space suddenly appeared around his fist.
Across the sky, mysterious forces spread like a web, instantly binding Fu Wu in place. But the next moment, with a sweep of her sword, everything shattered and vanished. She shuddered, directly striking at Gu Xiu with her sword.
A sword to break all techniques!
Gu Xiu was terrified. Thankfully, his response was swift. His body shuddered, and he retreated a full ten thousand meters. But in the next instant, the sword appeared before him again, its light flashing like lightning, chilling him to the core.
He still didn't dare take this strike head-on and retreated again, putting distance between himself and Fu Wu.
As Fu Wu's sword missed, she didn't pause. Her figure trembled, transforming into another flash of sword light, charging at Gu Xiu once more.
She moved incredibly fast, so fast that most onlookers could only see the sword light, not her actual figure.
Seeing Fu Wu's oncoming sword strike, Gu Xiu's expression became exceedingly grim. At this moment, his mind was in turmoil because he realized that none of his techniques or powers could match this female swordsman before him.
This female swordsman could break all techniques with a single sword!
Gu Xiu retreated again...
Seeing this, the faces of the surrounding powerful beings from various civilizations grew somber. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Though Gu Xiu was not currently in his original body, after being resurrected by the Multiverse Emperor, his strength should still be at sixty or seventy percent of his peak—bearing the Temporal Body. Yet, they hadn't expected him to be so suppressed.
Ruler Qi and Yama Dharmaraja were both staring at the Qingxuan Sword in Fu Wu's hand, and their expressions became graver than ever.
They hadn't underestimated the Qingxuan Sword, but they had vastly underestimated it.
The terror of this sword had surpassed their expectations, and a hint of unease stirred deep within them.
Bang!
Just then, a loud blast sounded nearby. Amidst the sound, a figure flew backward repeatedly.
The figure belonged to none other than Gu Xiu.
Now completely suppressed, Gu Xiu didn't dare take Fu Wu's sword head-on. He could only retreat constantly, evading her blade.
Who was stronger and who was weaker was clear as day.
The faces of the elites from the Devourer Civilization turned grim. They hadn't expected their civilization's founding ancestor to be beaten so badly. This ancestor was weaker than they thought.
The Multiverse Emperor kept his calm and composed smile. As he watched Gu Xiu being thoroughly suppressed, he made no move to intervene.
On the other side, Ye Guan watched Fu Wu wield the Qingxuan Sword in the distance, his heart complicated. "Master Pagoda, the Qingxuan Sword with me... we might not be compatible."
Little Pagoda said, "You're wrong."
Thinking that Master Pagoda was comforting him, Ye Guan quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's not 'might.' You two are indeed incompatible!"
Ye Guan was speechless.
Little Pagoda continued, "Actually, I don't like talking about depending on others. But I do feel it's worth mentioning. First of all, this sword was forged by your aunt for your father.
"The sword is now yours, but you should know that Little Soul has never truly acknowledged you as her master. She simply sees you as family, or rather, as a child. Do you understand what I mean?"
After a moment's silence, Ye Guan softly replied, "I should have my own sword, a sword that grows with me. When I'm weak, it's weak. When I'm strong, it's strong."
Little Pagoda smiled. "Yes. However, if you could gain Little Soul's willing recognition and submission, then she could also be your sword, but this is exceedingly difficult, as even Fu Wu couldn't gain her approval.
"You also have to understand that she was forged by the most invincible person in this world and has fought life-and-death battles with your father countless times. Your father is more or less invincible now, and under these circumstances, she's not going to look favorably on anyone else."
"Actually, you're the same way, aren't you?"
Little Pagoda remained silent.
"Master Pagoda, you rose with my grandfather. He's different from my father and me. He fought his way through with real strength. In the mundane world, he'd be a true self-made success, whereas my father and I have inherited the family legacy.
"If my father and I weren't Grandpa's family, no matter how talented we are, we wouldn't catch your eye, would we?"
Little Pagoda laughed, "I never thought about it that way. All I know is that we're family. And since we're family, those trivial issues don't exist. Even if you and your father were utterly talentless, you'd still be family to me. No matter how talented outsiders might be, they'd still be just that—outsiders."
Ye Guan laughed.
Family!
He couldn't deny that he truly felt fortunate at this moment. It was all because both the Yang Family and his father's group of friends had treated him very well.
Ye Guan looked into the distance and softly said, "Compared to my father and grandfather, I've hardly suffered. Even when I encounter difficulties, the Yang family and the Ye family are there to back me up...Master Pagoda, if they gang up on us later, let's blow ourselves up together!"
"Can you not drag me into things like that?"
Ye Guan laughed, but his gaze became resolute...
Boom!
Just then, a loud explosion echoed from afar. A sword light burst forth, and the struggling Gu Xiu was directly flung backward. When he stopped, his Temporal Body had cracked open.
He was utterly helpless.
When Gu Xiu stopped, his face was dark, but he was mostly filled with dread. He realized that his body, crafted through the manipulation of time, had been effectively destroyed.
Not even the Temporal Body could withstand this lady's sword!
He wanted to retreat now—he had to retreat, or he would be annihilated.
Gu Xiu turned to look at the Multiverse Emperor beside him.
Seeing Gu Xiu's gaze, the Multiverse Emperor slightly shook his head. "I told you before, don't waste time on flashy things. Pure strength is the core, yet you didn't listen. Now you know what I was talking about, right?"
Gu Xiu quickly accepted the rebuke, bowing respectfully, "Indeed, you were correct, Master."
The Multiverse Emperor chuckled, asking, "Anyone else interested in a match with this young lady?"
There was dead silence.
Their civilization's ancestor ended up getting beaten up like a dog, so who would dare to step forward?
The Multiverse Emperor smiled. "Ah Fu, why don't you exchange a few moves with this young lady?"
Ah Fu?
Just as everyone was puzzled, the spacetime beside the Multiverse Emperor was torn open, and a burly middle-aged man slowly stepped out.
The middle-aged man was bald, but he had a brawny physique that made him look fierce. The veins bulging all over him only added to his fierce look.
Once he appeared, his gaze landed on Fu Wu. The next instant, he shot forward like a cannonball.
Boom!
A series of sonic booms erupted across the battlefield, shaking the eardrums of many of the powerful beings present.
Fu Wu's eyes narrowed. Raising her hand, she slashed down with her sword.
Boom!
The sword light exploded, and a figure stumbled backward repeatedly.
However, Fu Wu was actually the one forced to retreat!
Fu Wu retreated nearly a thousand meters before stopping. Once she stopped, she glanced at her right arm, which had gone slightly numb.
In the distance, Ah Fu also lowered his gaze to look at his fist, which bore a deep sword wound.
He primarily cultivated his physique and strength, but even his body could not withstand this sword.
Ah Fu, however, ignored the wound on his hand. He suddenly vanished from his spot.
Boom!
A world-shattering force suddenly swept through the area, heading straight for Fu Wu.
In the distance, Fu Wu narrowed her eyes, a flash of killing intent passing through her gaze as she tightly gripped the Qingxuan Sword in her right hand, which trembled with resonance.
Suddenly, Fu Wu launched forward and thrust out with her sword. The moment the sword struck, a terrifying aura of sword intent filled the entire world.
The fist and the sword collided.
Bang!
Swish!
The powerful force instantly pushed Fu Wu back. However, this time, she didn't let go of the Qingxuan Sword, which remained lodged firmly in Ah Fu's fist. As Fu Wu retreated, she extended her fingers and controlled the sword from a distance, shouting, "Kill!"
With that command, the Qingxuan Sword, still embedded in Ah Fu's fist, trembled violently and pierced him.
Ah Fu froze in place. The next moment, his soul was absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword, leaving nothing behind.
He was instantly subdued and killed!
When Ah Fu collapsed to the ground, an eerie silence engulfed the battlefield.
Not far away, Fu Wu spread her palm open, and a ray of sword light shot up from Ah Fu's body before landing in her hand.
It was the Qingxuan Sword.
The Qingxuan Sword trembled nonstop.
The experts around looked at Fu Wu with fear in their eyes.
"Not bad, not bad! Hahaha!" The Multiverse Emperor laughed, saying, "The sword is impressive, and the wielder is strong. I'm actually a bit impressed."
With that, he opened his palm and then closed it lightly.
The world became blurry and illusory.
Fu Wu's brows knitted tightly as she held the Qingxuan Sword in front of Ye Guan to protect him from what was to come.
Just then, a violent tremor ran across the spacetime where Ah Fu had fallen. A mysterious torrent of energy manifested, and to everyone's shock, the deceased Ah Fu stood up once more.
He had been revived!
Time Reversal!
A deathly silence engulfed both the heavens and the earth.
