Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 347
Chapter 347: Dominating Empyrean Walkers With Just A Sword, Refining An Emperor Weapon
The Descendant Self Sword hovered above the two empyrean walkers.
An incredibly bone-piercing Sword-based Daoist Rhyme permeated the air and then rained down on the two empyrean walkers, rendering them no choice but to stop their duel.
They stared at the Descendant Self Sword that was suspended in the air, with consternation filling their souls. They did not dare to make any move.
“Is Chu Kuangren here?” Guo San said, concerned.
“No way. He’s not here but his sword is!”
Not far away, Ye Xin inhaled sharply and said.
Before he made his journey here, he did some research on Chu Kuangren, so he knew that this exquisite ancient sword was Chu Kuangren’s faithful weapon.
It was just a sword and yet it carried such poise…
What more could be said about Chu Kuangren’s combat strength?
At the thought of this, a shudder rippled through Ye Xin’s heart. He looked forward to meeting his adversary even more now. “He’s indeed a worthy opponent!”
“Just a sword?!”
When Zhan Long heard that, a furious expression appeared on his face. “What is the meaning of this, Chu Kuangren? Does he intend to shoo us off with only one sword? He’s not even taking us seriously here!”
Then, he stepped forward and pinched with his five fingers. An incredibly violent Daoist Rhyme gushed out like a waterfall towards the Descendant Self which was floating in mid-air.
This one hit carried tremendous power. As his energy swept across the whole area, rumbling noises erupted in the void around them!
Just as this punch was about to land on the Descendant Self Sword, the sword body simply vibrated slightly. Along with a beam of dazzling purple sword ray, it released an even more fearsome Sword-based Daoist Rhyme.
The sword ray battered through Zhan Long’s fist energy before landing onto his body without any mercy. The petrifying energy sent Zhan Long lying several hundred meters outward as he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
This scene left every empyrean walker at the scene flabbergasted.
One sword and one sword qi were able to render an empyrean walker with no means of defense. How scary was this power?!
“Chu Kuangren’s reputation is well-deserved!”
Guo San remarked in a solemn tone.
Not far away, Zhan Long was furious. An endless spiritual power was still coursing through his body, and a glint of darkness was slowly painted over both of his eyes. “I was too reckless just now. I still have a stronger move that I haven’t used. I don’t believe that one sword can do any harm to people like us.”
They were, in fact, empyrean walkers who represented the various unknown lands. They were tasked with the mission to make a name for their sect, yet they could not even cope with one sword?!
If word of this were to get out, where would they hide their shame?!
They would surely become a laughing stock for all the other empyrean walkers!
“I suggest that you conserve your strength and don’t lash out on this one sword. Chu Kuangren hasn’t even shown himself yet.”
Just as Zhan Long was ready to strike back, Ye Xin suddenly advised.
At that, Zhan Long’s eyes glimmered. After pondering for a good moment or two, he slowly withdrew the energy from his body. “Hmph, sounds about right. I shall save this move for Chu Kuangren to have a taste of it when he shows up.”
Upon sensing that Zhan Long had withdrawn his energy, the Descendant Self Sword in the air vibrated gently. Then, it unleashed an even more powerful Sword-based Daoist Rhyme, which fell onto the four empyrean walkers’ bodies like an enormous mountain.
It seemed as if it was questioning them, ‘Do you guys still want to fight or not?!’
In face of the Descendant Self Sword’s tease, Zhan Long was so pissed that he almost lashed out at it again. However, he managed to hold himself back in the end.
When the empyrean walkers cease to make any further move, the Descendant Self Sword swirled around in the sky for a while before it retracted its Sword-based Daoist Rhyme as well. After turning into a sword ray, it departed the place and went back to the Sky Emperor Palace.
“What a fine sword!” Ye Xin could not help but exclaim in admiration.
“Pfft, the sword is nice, but I don’t know how good the actual person is. I hope he won’t be a disappointment.” Zhan Long scoffed.
“His one sword qi was enough to send you scrambling backward. I really don’t know how you get the courage to trash talk like this.” Feng Yaorao let out a gentle laugh and said.
Zhan Long’s face sank. “Feng Yaorao, do you want a taste of battle?”
“Heh, how much do you want to bet that if we continued the duel, that sword would surely fly back here. By then, I don’t think I’d want the sword to fling me into the air, just like how you were earlier,” Feng Yaorao replied with a slight smile.
“Alright, alright. Let’s not make any more fuss before Chu Kuangren steps out from his closed-door mediation.”
Ye Xin commented.
Feng Yaorao and Guo San nodded. They, too, had the same thought.
As for Zhan Long, even though he was extremely unsatisfied, he had no choice but to suppress the raging anger inside of him. All he could do was save it for when Chu Kuangren finally steps out from his closed-door meditation.
Not far away, Nangong Huang and the others looked at each other puzzledly.
“Are they going to stop their battle just like that?”
“Sect Leader has assumed control over these empyrean walkers’ duels with just his one sword. Hehe, this tactic really deserves some serious respect. He truly is our almighty Sect Leader, easily accomplishing things that we can’t do.”
“Rightfully so…”
The few Daoists were discussing what they just saw.
At the same time, it had dawned on the Daoists that their strengths were still far from what they had witnessed from these empyrean walkers’ duels today.
As compared to these empyrean walkers, their performances at the Sky-Pride Championship were nothing. The empyrean walkers were on a whole different level.
“We need to put in more hard work to be on that level.”
Nangong Huang said melancholically.
….
The Descendant Self Sword flew back to the Sky Emperor Palace, and back to Chu Kuangren’s room.
“Is it settled?”
Chu Kuangren let out a gentle smile when he saw that the Descendant Self Sword had returned.
The Descendant Self Sword drifted up and down in the air, seemingly responding with a nod. Then, it spun around a couple of times in celebratory fashion, as if trying to seek praise from its owner.
“You’ve done well.”
Chu Kuangren granted the Descendant Self’s wishes and praised it. The Descendant Self Sword happily spun around a few more times before finally coming to a rest on the bed.
“How daring of the few empyrean walkers to cause trouble in our Black Heaven Sect. These newly descended fellows really don’t know any better. I don’t think they’ve been flogged by the community before.”
Chu Kuangren pursed his lips to one side and said.
After that, he glanced at the three light wisps that were suspended in the air in front of him. A look of anticipation flashed across his eyes. “It’s going to be done soon, I reckon.”
These three light wisps were black, silver, and gold in color respectively.
They were the Heaven’s Halberd, Sea King’s Halberd, and the Golden Halberd that Chu Kuangren had obtained in succession. He was in the process of refining these three Boundary Emperor Weapons. His plan was to combine them and turn them back into Neptune’s Trident Halberd!
Refining an Emperor Weapon was by no means an easy task.
Back then, Chu Kuangren was able to refine the Sacred Emerald Sword Case because he had the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, which was very compatible with the Sacred Emerald Sword Case’s traits. With the sword case’s acknowledgment, his refinement process was exceptionally smooth-sailing.
However, refining Neptune’s Trident Halberd would not be that easy as it was an Emperor Weapon that belonged to the Scaled Tribe. All Emperor Weapons were superior in nature, so without their acknowledgment, it would be almost impossible for any normal cultivator to refine them.
In other words, it was not the person who chose the Emperor Weapon.
Rather, it was the Emperor Weapon who chose the person!
To refine it by force was not at all an easy task.
Since Chu Kuangren had a remarkable talent, this Emperor Weapon did not resist his refinement process. However, it did not make things as easy as the Sacred Emerald Sword Case.
Hence, it would take him some time to refine this Emperor Weapon.
This was also why he had been in closed-door meditation these few days.
Now, this Emperor Weapon was close to completing its refinery process.
Time passed by pretty quickly.
Another two days had gone by.
Just when the empyrean walkers were starting to lose their patience and when countless people were waiting to see how Chu Kuangren would settle these four empyrean walkers, The door at Chu Kuangren’s room finally swung open on this day.
Inside the courtyard, Lan Yu and Lil Bing glanced delightedly at the door.
“Master, you’re finally out from your closed-door meditation.”
The two of them went up to him.
Meanwhile, at a distance away, Ye Xin, Zhan Long, and the others had sensed this too.
“Haha, he’s finally out!”
