Chapter 541 – Quarrel

　　Guan Zai stared deathly into Ye Fan’s eyes, which grew colder and colder.

　　”Sword Saint ……” Guan Zai spoke through clenched teeth, “Just because he’s the Great Xia’s Sword Saint, can you not care about his death? Just because he is a sword saint …… can you force him to die?”

　　”I didn’t force him.”

　　”Bullshit!”

　　Guan Zai cursed angrily, “Ye Fan, don’t I understand you? You definitely won’t directly force him to go, but you’ll tell him how many people will die because of it if he doesn’t go, and what Da Xia will lose because of it, making him feel like he has to go ……

　　You are utilizing his innocence and kindness to make him go and become the sword of the entire Da Xia!

　　What’s the difference between this behavior of yours and those who bullied him in the past?!”

　　Ye Fan’s body trembled slightly and unnoticeably.

　　He was silent for a long time and slowly spoke:

　　”This, originally, is the duty of the human ceiling.”

　　”Duty? Heh heh heh ……” Guan Zai laughed coldly, “Sword Saint, the human ceiling, the duty of guarding Daxia …… Ye Fan, you will always be the one standing on the moral high ground!

　　If it wasn’t for you, Zhou Ping wouldn’t have been able to take this path at all!

　　Zhou Ping ah!

　　He’s just a kid who was bullied from a young age, who loves martial arts stories and fantasizes about being a warrior!

　　Why did you have to make him carry the duties of a human ceiling, make him go and become a Sword Saint, make him guard this world that had once left him battered and bruised?

　　What you made him carry is too heavy!

　　He should have been in that earthenware restaurant, living well, growing up well, reading the books he likes to read, and spending this life of his calmly and happily ……

　　He shouldn’t have taken this path!”

　　Guan Zai’s breathing became more and more ragged, anger made his eyes red, as he grabbed Ye Fan’s collar.

　　”I’ll tell you Ye Fan, Zhou Ping never owed this world anything, but this world …… owes him too much!

　　You Ye Fan are indeed guarding this country, you are great, you are noble, you are worthy of everyone in this country, but ……

　　you.

　　I’m sorry for Zhou Ping.”

　　Ye Fan’s lips couldn’t control the trembling, he took a deep breath, and his right hand clenched the wrist of Guan in grabbing his collar in a lightning fast manner!

　　He hoarsely opened his mouth:

　　”I admit, I owe Zhou Ping a lot, but do you think I really want to put all my bets on a child?

　　If I could have the talent like him, if I could have the strength like him, I wouldn’t even bat an eyelid even if I were to go to my death!

　　However, not everyone was Zhou Ping!

　　With the Outer Gods surrounding them, and the Great Xia God falling into a deep sleep, there was no way out for Great Xia.

　　If we want to turn the tide in a desperate situation, if we want to rely on the power of mortals to defeat the gods, I have no choice but to go for this gamble!

　　In this game, if we lose, the entire Grand Xia will become a fish to be slaughtered!

　　Also.

　　I’ve never used him before.

　　Zhou Ping may be simple, but he’s not stupid ……”

　　Ye Fan’s voice paused for a moment, and once again spoke hoarsely, “He, is a good boy ……”

　　Silence.

　　Guan in those bloodshot eyes, staring at Ye Fan with a deadly stare.

　　After an unknown amount of time, he let out a cold snort and let go of Ye Fan’s collar.

　　”If anything really happens to Zhou Ping, I will kill you myself.” Guan Zai said in a cold voice.

　　Ye Fan straightened his collar and said calmly:

　　”When the time comes, there’s no need for you to do it.

　　I will return the life …… I owe him.”

　　Dang–!

　　A dull sound came from the distant clouds, and the sky dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　Ye Fan turned his head to look, only to see that the originally calm sea, violently rolled over, black giant waves lifted up from the sea, like a giant curtain enveloping the sky, rushing towards this place.

　　Splendid divine light penetrated from the distant clouds, and four figures rolled with terrifying divine might, plucking away the clouds and fog, treading on nothingness, slowly coming.

　　The Nine Pillar Gods of Egypt, the four gods joined hands.

　　Their divine might was unleashed without reservation, stirring the sea beneath their feet, a vast earthly catastrophe was brewing under their divine might.

　　”This battle, we can’t beat it ……”

　　Chen Fu Zi sighed helplessly when he saw those four figures.

　　”If we can’t beat them, we still have to fight.” Ye Fan’s hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, looking at the city behind him, his dark red cloak dancing rapidly with the raging sea breeze.

　　”We can’t let them enter the city limits, stop them at sea.”

　　”Do we have reinforcements?” Lu Wuwei asked.

　　”There are only five human ceilings in total, where will we get reinforcements?” Guan Zai shook his head as he looked at Ye Fan, “Ye Fan, you said you’re sure you can win this game, is that true?”

　　”Uh-huh.”

　　”Good.” Guan Zai turned around, looked at the four figures on the sea, slowly pressed the duck-tongue cap on top of his head, and

　　”Then …… fight them.”

　　Ode to Ode to Ode -!

　　Beside the coastline, four human ceilings shot out like arrows, cutting through the choppy sea and charging straight towards those four gods in the sky!

　　The earth shook and the sky shook!

　　Misty.

　　Beside the fireplace, Lu Yu glanced at the Sword Saint who was not far away with his eyes closed, and a worried look emerged in his eyes.

　　”Elder Chen Han, how do I feel …… that the Sword Saint s aura is becoming more and more ugly?”

　　Beside him, Chen Han shook his head, and

　　”I don’t know, I touched his hand before and sensed the situation inside his body, and the injuries he suffered are much heavier than they appear …… Two different divine forces raged inside his body, and in just an instant, they tore my spiritual power to shreds.

　　So, the exact situation, I’m not sure.”

　　”Two kinds of divine power?” Lu Yu froze, “Isn’t there only one Wind God?”

　　”More than that.”

　　”Senior’s Forbidden Ruins couldn’t save him?”

　　Chen Han smiled bitterly, “You also think too highly of me, his injuries are simply not something that can be treated at my level.”

　　”Then what do we do now? Can’t do anything?” Lu Yu worriedly spoke, “I’m afraid that …… in a while, if the Sword Saint closes his eyes again, he won’t be able to wake up ……”

　　”What are you saying? Shut up.” Chen Han glared at him fiercely.

　　Lu Yu obediently closed his mouth.

　　Chen Han hesitated in place for a moment, stood up, whispered a few words to the three children next to him, and then walked towards Zhou Ping together.

　　”Sword Saint Senior.” Chen Han gently called out to him.

　　Zhou Ping had his eyes closed and did not wake up.

　　”Sword Saint Senior?” Chen Han’s voice was a little higher.

　　Zhou Ping slowly opened his eyes, heavy blood filaments climbed in his eyes, his lips did not have a trace of blood color, and his entire person looked haggard.

　　”What’s wrong?” He asked.

　　Chen Han smiled and pulled out a rolled cigarette from his pocket, handing it to Zhou Ping.

　　”I don’t know how to smoke.” Zhou Ping shook his head.

　　”Senior Sword Saint, this cigarette is good for your current situation ……”

　　”I don’t know how to smoke.” Zhou Ping repeated, then pointed to the three children next to him, “And there are children here, you can’t smoke either.”
