Chapter 1902: Swaggering Away

A flash of cold light vanished, and blood splattered.

One of the Four Guardians had a large gash opened in his neck, blood gushing uncontrollably.

It was clear he would not survive.

With a single sword stroke, he had broken the Four Guardians' formation.

The Carefree Grove fell silent, all eyes fixed on that figure in terror.

Why was this kid so strong?

So young, yet so powerful—why was he unknown in the Nine Xu Imperial Capital?

Breaking the Four Guardians of the Carefree Grove with one sword stroke—such strength should have made him the foremost among the younger generation of the Nine Xu Imperial Capital.

Even Rong Xiyue of the Linghua Pavilion probably wasn't this strong, was she?

Where the hell did this kid come from?

Get lost!

Ye Yuan spoke again and resumed walking forward.

The other three's faces shifted unpredictably as they involuntarily retreated.

They kept backing away, unknowingly reaching the entrance of the Carefree Grove.

No room to retreat!

If they retreated further, Ye Yuan would leave the Carefree Grove.

Then, without the great formation freezing space, they would have even less chance to stop him.

Their faces shifting, they exchanged glances, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes.

Kill!

The remaining three Guardians mustered their courage and charged again.

Nine Extremes Dividing Light Sword!

Red Wind Deer Cry Sword!

Lingxi Morning Light Sword!

...

Sword light blazed, and sword qi roamed everywhere in the empty hall.

And Ye Yuan was at the center of the storm.

Clang, clang, clang...

In the blink of an eye, the four exchanged countless blows.

Gasps of amazement surrounded them; their eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of their swords.

The Four Guardians' strength had long been deeply ingrained in everyone's minds; no one dared provoke them here.

But Ye Yuan, a Fifth Heaven Celestial God, was evenly matched against these three, astonishing everyone.

These three Guardians were all Eighth Heaven Celestial Gods, each three minor realms above Ye Yuan.

Yet they couldn't gain any advantage.

One Sword Crossing the Void!

Swoosh!

A cold gleam appeared, and the whole place fell silent.

Eighth Heaven Celestial God, fallen!

This... too strong!

Law fusion! Space law! This is a peerless genius!

Where the hell did this kid come from? Never heard of such a figure in the Nine Xu Imperial Capital!

...

In an instant, two of the Four Guardians were dead, a shock too intense for everyone.

And that sword stroke had fully revealed Ye Yuan's law comprehension.

They finally understood why Ye Yuan was so strong.

The remaining two Guardians stared at Ye Yuan in terror, speechless with shock.

That last sword stroke—whoever Ye Yuan had aimed it at, they would have been powerless to block it.

Ye Yuan pulled Jiang Haitang and walked toward the door again.

The remaining two dared not stop him; they involuntarily stepped aside, clearing a path.

Jiang Haitang was dazed, the short distance of a few hundred zhang feeling like a dream.

She was mechanically led by Ye Yuan toward the gate.

Ahead was the gate of the Carefree Grove, just a few steps away.

Suddenly, a ripple spread through the space, and a figure materialized before everyone.

A gray-robed middle-aged man looked coldly at Ye Yuan, then at the two Guardians.

Lord... Lord Fang Kun! one Guardian said, his face pale.

Can't even handle a Fifth Heaven Celestial God? Go back and accept punishment! Fang Kun said coldly.

Lord... we... the Guardian said, his face ugly.

Fang Kun snorted, cutting him off: What nonsense? You disagree?

No... no! the Guardian said, his face grim.

The onlookers wore strange expressions.

They all knew that today's incident couldn't really be blamed on the Four Guardians.

But Fang Kun clearly didn't care about that; he only looked at the result.

Fang Kun was a peak Ninth Heaven Celestial God, far stronger than the Four Guardians combined.

In this Nine Xu Imperial Capital, unless a True God appeared, he could sweep through almost anyone.

Having guarded the Carefree Grove for so many years without any mishaps, he was its anchor.

Even if a Ninth Heaven Celestial God caused trouble, he would handle it.

Now things have blown up—even Lord Fang Kun has been roused. Looks like today won't end well.

Heh, Lord Fang Kun's strength is extraordinary. This kid is too arrogant. What a pity—so young and talented, but he'll die here.

Yeah, with his strength, he could have charged out long ago. But he had to walk slowly, and now he's in deep trouble!

...

Those who frequented the Carefree Grove all knew Fang Kun's reputation.

No one dared to cause trouble there because they knew Lord Fang Kun was on guard.

Fang Kun snorted, turned to Ye Yuan, and was about to speak when Ye Yuan said calmly, Get lost!

Fang Kun was taken aback, then sneered: Arrogant brat, don't tell me you think I'm the same as those trash?

Ye Yuan looked at him and said flatly: You're no different from them. If you don't get lost, you'll die too.

With that, Ye Yuan pulled Jiang Haitang and moved forward again.

Fang Kun burst into laughter: You reckless fool! Let's see how you make me die!

But at that moment, blue patterns spread across Ye Yuan's body, cutting off the entire space.

Divine Mark Space!

Fang Kun was now very close to Ye Yuan, and the blue patterns quickly formed the Divine Mark Space.

Fang Kun's heart trembled; instinct told him something was wrong, and he tried to break free from the blue patterns' restraint.

But it was too late!

Fang Kun's pupils contracted, his heart filled with terror.

He realized he couldn't move using space law!

His body was trapped within the blue space.

Boom!

Suddenly, Fang Kun launched an attack.

But the blue space didn't budge.

The blue patterns grew denser and tighter, eventually filling the entire space.

Let... let me out! Damn it, let me out! Fang Kun roared in despair.

Ye Yuan's figure reappeared, his eyes utterly cold.

Fang Kun looked at Ye Yuan and couldn't help shivering.

That gaze sent a chill through his heart.

Ye Yuan looked at him and said calmly: I gave you a chance to get lost, but you didn't cherish it. So, die.

Ye Yuan lightly pointed a finger, piercing straight through Fang Kun's heart, destroying all his vitality.

Thud!

The divine marks dissipated, and Fang Kun's body fell limply to the ground, the surroundings deathly still.

The guardian of the Carefree Grove, Lord Fang Kun, a peak Ninth Heaven Celestial God, had died just like that?

Everyone looked at each other, completely at a loss.

Let's go!

Ye Yuan pulled Jiang Haitang and swaggered out of the Carefree Grove, leaving without a backward glance.

The two Guardians exchanged glances, their eyes filled only with shock.

This scene was too stunning.

They had expected a earth-shattering battle, but no one had anticipated that Fang Kun would die so inexplicably.
