Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 102
Chapter 102: Wanting to Fight the Demonic Cultivators Alone, Two Birds With One Stone
As Chu Kuangren held the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse, he could feel the powerful energy that was contained within it. So much that it was even stronger than his Self Descendant Sword!
“Too bad that it’s a spear and not a blade!”
Chu Kuangren lamented regretfully.
However, he soon got rid of that notion. After all, he was not short on weapons when he came to seek this Demonic Weapon.
“With the appearance of this Demonic Weapon, this demonic onslaught should come to an end soon.”
Chu Kuangren murmured as he kept the Demonic Spear in his Yin and Yang Ring.
When the Demonic Weapon disappeared, the cultivators who were tempted and seduced into madness gradually returned to normal, one by one, with a hint of numbness in their heads.
“D*mn, that Demonic Spear is just too corruptive.”
“What a terrifying Demonic Weapon.”
“I can’t believe I lost control of myself!”
The crowd of cultivators all felt a lingering fear within them.
However, Chu Kuangren was uninterested in them. Once he came out of the ravine, he casually told the Mountain River Daoist, “Help me get these words out. The Demonic Spear of Apocalypse is in my possession. If anyone wants it, they are welcome to find me!”
The Mountain River Daoist could also figure out the intention behind Chu Kuangren’s words.
Chu Kuangren planned to use the Demonic Spear as bait and attract every demonic cultivator to him, where he will then finish all of them in one fell swoop!
“I’ll go and notify Host Lee of this so they can make the necessary preparations.”
The Mountain River Daoist said with a stern look.
Killing all the demonic cultivators who were in the Northern Lingdao State in one go was not a simple matter as it would require a lot of manpower for it to work.
There might even be a need to recall the others who had been dispatched outwards to help the people.
“Don’t do any unnecessary actions. All you need to be responsible for is to spread the word out and that would be sufficient enough,” Chu Kuangren ordered.
“Brother Chu, what do you mean?”
The Mountain River Daoist was a bit puzzled.
“Just do according to what I just said,” Chu Kuangren simply replied.
Seeing Chu Kuangren’s calm look, the Mountain River Daoist’s pupils suddenly shrank as an absurd thought popped into his mind.
“Brother Chu, don’t tell me you’re planning to defeat all of these demonic cultivators alone? That’s impossible, there’s just too many of them in the Northern Lingdao State. How can you possibly keep up with them?”
“I have my plans, don’t worry.”
Knowing that it was useless to advise Chu Kuangren, the Mountain River Daoist had no choice but to follow what he was asked to do.
Soon after, news of the Demonic Spear’s re-emergence started to spread. Naturally, everyone inside the Mountain River City, which stood at the center of the whole Northern Lingdao State, also knew.
Everyone immediately understood Chu Kuangren’s intentions as well, that he wanted to use the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse to lead all of the demonic cultivators to the same area.
However, it was pointless to know the true plan behind the news, since the ones who wanted the Demonic Spear still had to go after Chu Kuangren despite knowing that it was a trap.
…
“I can’t believe Chu Kuangren has found the Demonic Spear of Apocalypse. It’s truly surprising. His plan to use this Demonic Spear to attract every demonic cultivator and defeat all of them at once is quite impressive.”
“Hmph, how can he possibly hope to kill all the demonic cultivators in the state with his amount of manpower? He should be coming to us for help by now. ”
“Tsk, I’m really curious to find out what Chu Kuangren looks like when he’s begging others for help. I hope to see that look from him soon.”
“You’re right. We should all enjoy that very sight together when the time comes.”
In Mountain River City, the sky-prides and their fellow cultivators from a few great sage orthodoxies maintained their stance of inaction as they waited for Chu Kuangren to ask them for help.
However, one day, two days …
Three days later, Chu Kuangren still had not gone to them for assistance.
Moreover, news of the Demonic Spear’s re-emergence had spread throughout the whole Northern Lingdao State, and because of that, numerous demonic cultivators were already heading towards the direction of the Mountain River City.
It would be too late by then if preparations were not made in time.
During which, the sky-prides in the Mountain River City started to get impatient.
“What the hell is Chu Kuangren doing!”
“Why hasn’t he come to us for help?”
“Hmph, how does he plan to wipe out the demonic cultivators in the Northern Lingdao State without us? Is it possible that he will directly request aid from the orthodoxies instead?”
“That’s impossible as the steed starves while the grass grows. Besides, this demonic onslaught was assigned to us by our elders as a means for us to gain experience, so they will not hastily rush in and help us. D*mn it, what’s Chu Kuangren up to this time?”
All of those sky-prides started to get confused.
Following that, another piece of news arrived as well.
Chu Kuangren had left the Mountain River City and was headed to the nearby mountains. By the looks of it, it seemed like he intended to face the hordes of demonic cultivators there.
At that point, all the sky-prides were clear on what Chu Kuangren intended to do.
‘So he’s going to fight all the demonic cultivators on his own!’
“Bloody hell, is this guy looking for a death wish?”
“Does he not know how many demonic cultivators there are in the Northern Lingdao State? How can he possibly hope to deal with all of them alone? Hmph, that guy is heading towards his death.”
“In regards to the disciples from the few great orthodoxies who were dispatched to help the people in different areas, I heard that he did not recall them as well.”
“Well, he’s going to die then.”
In the Mountain River City, the Mountain River Daoist, Host Lee, and others naturally knew what Chu Kuangren planned to do. They could not help but lament how heroic and righteous Chu Kuangren was!
Meanwhile, news about this had also spread out of the city.
All of the refugees and ordinary folk soon knew that Chu Kuangren was going to face off against all of the demonic cultivators alone.
Countless people were both shocked and impressed by the news.
Not long after, Chu Kuangren’s image was highly regarded within the minds of the common folk. He soon became many times greater compared to the likes of Gu Changge and Fangtian.
Although the people of common folk were weak, they were not blind to the ones who were sincerely doing their best in helping them fight off the demonic onslaught.
“I’ll give f*ck all about whatever Sacred Serene Wisdom Lands, Zhiyang Valley, or these so-called sage orthodoxies. None of them can possibly compare with Master Chu’s single strand of hair.”
“I agree, ever since Master Chu arrived, not only has he provided help to the refugees, but he has even dispatched people to help in the other areas. People like him are many times greater compared to those remaining sky-prides who only know how to indulge themselves in pleasure.”
“Master Chu is truly the only one who sincerely wants to help everyone.”
Public opinion soon broke out. Chu Kuangren was greatly praised by the common folk and was eventually known as a savior of the Northern Lingdao State. As for the other sky-prides, they were mercilessly mocked, shamed, disgraced, and shunned for their inaction. Even the names of the orthodoxies that they represented were also mentioned with those unpleasant comments.
Ao Chang, Lin Batian, Fangtian, and the others got even more impatient.
Why did they come to the Northern Lingdao State for?
It was to increase their orthodoxies’ prestige and image of course. However, thanks to Chu Kuangren, everything they represented was now dragged into the mud, not to mention the prestige of their respective orthodoxies.
“Brother Lin, let us take action as well.”
Lin Batian and the others were gathered together inside a great hall. The one speaking was Fangtian of the Five Ways Sect, who had a worried look on him.
“If we still do not take action now, every ounce of glory will be nabbed by Chu Kuangren alone.” Yuanhong of the Dharma Sect proposed to take action and deal with the demonic onslaught too.
“Why should we?”
That time, Ao Chang spoke.
Everyone was puzzled as they looked at him.
“Even if we were to take action now, all the glory, prestige and the people’s hearts already belong to Chu Kuangren alone. The common folk will only think that we took action because we were pressured by the public opinions to do so,” Ao Chang explained.
“Then what should we do instead?”
“We shall wait. We shall wait for Chu Kuangren to fail! Seeing that there are so many demonic cultivators there, I don’t believe he’ll be able to take them single-handedly. Once he fails, the people will enter a state of despair and that will be the time for us to step out and save them! We shall turn the tide against us by saving thousands from the demonic cultivators, drawing the demonic onslaught to a perfect end soon after.”
Ao Chang’s suggestion made many people’s eyes lit up in agreement.
Since they could not restore their image if they took action now, they might as well wait for Chu Kuangren to fall before they leap in to save the day. That would increase their reputation on one hand while damaging Chu Kuangren’s reputation on the other.
“I like this idea, what a great way to kill two birds with one stone. I’ll agree to this.”
“Me too.”
“I can’t wait to see how Chu Kuangren is going to die after this.”
