Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Leave the Yin and Yang Ring And Scram, I See No God Other Than Me
On the Great Sword Tournament’s grounds, every single sword cultivator stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed.
Just what did they witness?
A King of War had killed two Honorables!
Moreover, he was left unscathed. Who the f*ck would believe that a King of War was this powerful? Bullsh*t!
“How the hell is Chu Kuangren this terrifying?”
“With such power, I would have believed you if you said he was an Honorable Supreme! But King of War? Bullsh*t! Who’s King of War is this powerful?!”
“Exactly! This is beyond terrifying!”
“Good God, this generation’s Young Emperors are like the Ten Unparalleled Warriors. Rarely would you find such an outstanding one even amongst the best sky-prides.”
Bai Qianjun was also in the crowd.
He could feel his eyes tremble as he watched Chu Kuangren in the sky. With such power, he would most definitely die in one hit!
To think that he was provoking the devil himself earlier!
A shiver of fear crept into Bai Qianjun’s heart.
“This is the guy who suppressed all the sky-prides so hard that they couldn’t lift their heads? Scary!” Bai Qianjun’s voice trembled slightly.
He initially believed that no matter how strong Chu Kuangren was, he could not have been much stronger than sky-prides like Yuanhong or Gu Changge.
Oh, how wrong he was.
They were on different playing fields entirely!
He could never hope to compare with him.
“Ha! Brother Chu is still the same powerhouse after all! After his three-year closed-door meditation, when people had forgotten him, he can still shake the heavens as he pleases!”
Li Xingchen could not help but sigh.
The Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit within him secretly shivered.
“This lad’s power is far too horrifying. Killing two Honorables as a King of War? Nothing like that would have happened in my time.”
“So scary! I fear that this lad will become my greatest enemy in the future!”
Li Xingchen did not know what to think of the Sage Ruler Remnant Spirit’s thoughts.
He was still in awe at Chu Kuangren’s power.
…
“Sword Hoarder and Honorable Swordsman of Steel are both dead?!!”
“To think Chu Kuangren has such power!”
In the distance, Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman, who had been fighting the Seventh Forefather, could not help but feel his heart lurch. However, a moment of distraction was all it took for the Seventh Forefather to slice his arm off with a sword.
A cry of agony ripped out of Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman as he staggered backward.
“To ascend to the Honorable Supreme Realm isn’t easy. You could have become a force to be reckoned with, but instead, you walk the path to your demise. Such a pity.” Gripping onto his Azure Vine Sword, the Seventh Forefather glanced at Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman with ice-cold eyes.
His opponent may be an Honorable Supreme like him, but the Seventh Forefather had been one for a long time, while his opponent had just ascended to the realm. There was no doubt that he would win.
“Honorable Supreme…”
Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman muttered before he let out a bitter laugh that became increasingly louder. “HAHA! Honorable Supreme?! Such a lofty title that people worship, all for what? We’re still reduced to nothing but insignificant ants before a Sage!”
“In the Era of Great Battles, the greatest stars shine the brightest. But everything under the sky still lies in the hands of the Sages. We’re nothing more than pawns for them.”
“Yet Emperors exist above Sages! The only way to rid ourselves of these shackles is to rise above everyone as an Emperor!! Especially since we’re in the Era of Great Battles, I will fight for that sliver of a chance to become an Emperor!”
“Even if I die trying, I regret nothing!”
Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman said with crazed passion, it was almost touching.
A beam of light flashed across Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman.
Chu Kuangren looked at him impassively. “Of course, fighting for what you want is the very essence of the Era of Great Battles, but only winners hold power. You have lost!”
“Indeed, I’ve lost! But do you really believe that you can remain undefeated forever?!” Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman spat through gritted teeth.
“I… will defeat all my enemies in this world!”
As soon as the words left Chu Kuangren’s mouth, he channeled his spiritual power by lifting his hands. A terrifying Daoist Rhyme rang out and the Earth Qi surged on his palm before a mystical Ancient Godly Mountain formed and crashed towards Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman.
The Ancient Godly Mountain was majestic.
It was almost as if it could crush space and time itself.
Even the crowd of cultivators from far away could feel the immense pressure weighing down on them. Their knees buckled and faces turned as pale as snow.
As for Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman, he was already heavily injured thanks to the Seventh Forefather. In a single attack, he was crushed by the Ancient Godly Mountain and his whole body exploded into a bloody mist that stained the ground red; the man had fallen!
Chu Kuangren had slain yet another Honorable Supreme Swordsman!
Sword Hoarder, Honorable Swordsman of Steel, and Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman all fell one after another. As for the sword cultivators that they brought along, they had all lost the will to fight.
What fight?
What else was there for them to fight?!
They could not even run if they wanted to!
However, those twelve pillars of sword qi were practically stretched from heaven to hell, hence trapping them in a box. Even a blind man could see it and they knew that their cultivation bases would never be enough to escape Chu Kuangren’s Nine Heaven Sword Prison vision.
“Now, the rest of you.”
After killing three Honorables, Chu Kuangren turned to the remaining group of sword cultivators with a playful smile.
The group shivered with their hearts pounding in fear. They would soon know their fates.
“Leave your Yin and Yang Rings and scram,” Chu Kuangren stated.
All the crowd felt was a rush of relief, as if they had just been pardoned from hell and ascended to heaven. They could not contain their joy.
They lived. They survived Chu Kuangren!
“Yes! Of course!”
“We’re deeply grateful for Brother Chu’s mercy!”
With that, they dropped their Yin and Yang Rings and scramble to escape.
Whoosh!
A streak of sword qi flashed past and sliced one of the sword cultivators in half. Blood gushed out in gallons, and some sword cultivators crumpled to the ground in fear.
“Chu Kuangren! You lied to us!”
Some sword cultivators said angrily.
Chu Kuangren replied calmly, “I am a man of my word, but if someone decides to take advantage of the situation, I will show no mercy.”
The crowd looked to the deceased and realized that he had tried to leave with the crowd before dropping his Yin and Yang Ring.
Only then did they understand what Chu Kuangren meant. Anyone else who tried to do the same instantly scrapped their plans, obediently leaving their rings before they left.
All the sword cultivators had left after a while and all that remained was a pile of at least a thousand rings.
Chu Kuangren grinned as he kept all the rings.
First, he got the Sword Soul, and now he had a bountiful harvest from the small fry. Coming to Sword Prayer City was indeed a great move!
“Master, you’re going to let them go?” Lan Yu looked at the cultivators in the distance.
Chu Kuangren chuckled. “It’s fine. Their Daoist’s core would have crumbled after that battle. I’ll be the only God they worship!”
“Junior Chu, congratulations on getting the Sword Soul.” Feng Xuanzi walked up to Chu Kuangren with a mix of emotions.
He knew it was unlikely that Chu Kuangren would return the Sword Soul to them if he asked.
Moreover, since the Sword Soul has bonded to its owner, it belonged to him as long as he was alive. No other sword cultivator could take it away.
“Since the Sword Soul suddenly showed up, I assume that Sword Prayer City is in some trouble. Does my senior require any help?” Chu Kuangren asked.
After all, he did take their Sword Soul. Since the Black Heaven Sect and Sword Prayer City were also on good terms, helping them out was the least he could do.
“I received a report that said Northern Sea Honorable Swordsman and people from the Steel Sword Sect worked together to break into Sky Fire Valley to steal the Sword Soul. Thankfully, the casualties were not high. I thank you for your contributions, ” Feng Xuanzi replied.
“Sword Prayer City is home to generations of swordsmiths, and many of them have forged famous swords. Most of those swords originated from this city, so you could call this the place where all the swords’ energies are concentrated, and thousands of years ago, it gave birth to the Sword Soul.
“We initially wanted to find a smithing material that would create a godly vessel that was worthy of the Sword Soul, but to think this happened instead! We’re truly at the mercy of fate.
“But since you have the Sword Soul and the Descendant Self Sword that our ancestors forged, I’d say it’s not a bad outcome. I hope that Junior Chu will continue to shine with them both.” Feng Xuanzi slowly explained the history of the Sword Soul to him but also expressed his high hopes for Chu Kuangren’s future.
