Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 397
Chapter 397: Killing Yuan Wudao, I Have An Idea, Not Letting You Guys Enter
With the Blood Dragon Claw, Yuan Wudao’s combat strength increased drastically!
One claw struck out as if it was going to tear through the void. Large amounts of scarlet demonic qi were unleashed in the air, and it dashed towards Chu Kuangren!
Chu Kuangren merely raised his arm and shattered that demonic qi effortlessly.
The gap in power between them was just so big that despite being armed with the Blood Dragon Claw, Yuan Wudao still could not bridge that unimaginable gap.
“Die, Chu Kuangren! Just die, for heaven’s sake!”
However, Yuan Wudao continued to claw his way forward as if he did not notice the difference in strength. His blood-shot eyes made him look crazy.
Chu Kuangren could tell that Yuan Wudao was not in control of the Blood Dragon Claw. In fact, he had been taken over by the weapon’s evil nature. If he were to use it for a long time, Yuan Wudao would eventually be consumed by evil and end up as a madman who only knew how to kill.
“No wonder that arm of his was wrapped up earlier. That bandage was to suppress the Blood Dragon Claw’s evilness from getting to him,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
After understanding the full strength of the Blood Dragon Claw, Chu Kuangren was no longer interested in continuing their fight.
That long sword tied to his waist unsheathed itself with a clang and made a strike.
The purple sword ray shot out, seemingly covering most of the sky. In the eyes of countless onlookers, that terrifying but amazing sword ray was all they could see.
“Roar!!”
Yuan Wudao let out a loud inhuman roar as the demonic qi within his Blood Dragon Claw rose to its limit. Then, he struck out his claw.
Mixed with surges of devastating Daoist Rhyme, that scarlet demonic qi of his formed into a hideous blood dragon shadow that flew towards his opponent.
The sword ray and the blood dragon shadow collided.
Tremendous shockwaves were sent everywhere.
However, the blood dragon shadow could not hold on for even a second before it was immediately torn apart by the domineering sword ray.
A tearing sound was heard.
It was the sound of the sword ray piercing through flesh.
Huge amounts of blood spurted out as the sword ray tore the Blood Dragon Claw apart, detaching it from Yuan Wudao’s body.
The onlooking empyrean walkers were shocked.
‘It is too horrifying.
‘The sword ray’s power is just horrifying.’
If it were them, they would stand no chance before sword ray.
Yuan Wudao let out a heart-piercing screech as his Blood Dragon Claw was sliced off his arm. He then fell from the air like a broken kite and crashed onto the ground. His pale face stared at Chu Kuangren with a horrified expression.
Having lost the Blood Dragon Claw, Yuan Wudao soon regained his sanity. However, he was also well aware of his predicament, and he shuddered with fear as an immense terror enveloped him.
Chu Kuangren’s sword sheathed itself, and the sword ray in the sky dissipated.
After that, he reached out and grabbed that Blood Dragon Claw, studying it carefully.
That Blood Dragon Claw was covered with fine scales, and it emanated a scarlet demonic qi and certain evilness. It was as if the consciousness of the deceased demonic being had never truly dissipated.
Just that arm alone contained an incredibly domineering blood and flesh essence, which was no weaker than a fully intact Sage Ruler’s corpse.
While Chu Kuangren was examining the Blood Dragon Claw, Yuan Wudao desperately summoned all his remaining strength to get up and flee from the scene.
However, a terrifying surge of domain energy suddenly crashed down upon him, pushing him down onto the ground as if thousands of mountains were on him.
“How can you possibly think of escaping in a state like this? Aren’t you a bit too naive for the Acheron Manor’s empyrean walker?” Chu Kuangren kept the Blood Dragon Claw away and slowly walked towards Yuan Wudao. The chill in his eyes became more intense with every step he took.
Pinned to the ground in a mess, Yuan Wudao pleaded, “Chu Kuangren, please let me go. I don’t want the Opportunity of Fortune in this Imperial Palace anymore. They’re all yours to take, and I swear to never get in your way again…”
Chu Kuangren replied to Yuan Wudao’s desperate begging. “Competing for the Imperial Palace’s Opportunity of Fortune is just a small matter.”
“Fighting against me is just a small matter too.”
“However, your bold actions of instructing the Underworld Palace to harm my Black Heaven Sect disciples is no small matter! Even a Sage Ruler won’t be able to save you!”
With that, Chu Kuangren raised his hand and unleashed a palm attack at Yuan Wudao’s skull. The majestic Buddhist Light instantly blew the latter’s head apart!
Then, he activated the Gluttonous Devouring Technique and absorbed his opponent’s body into the Avarice dimension for refining. This gave Chu Kuangren a large amount of blood and flesh essences.
It was no less than a Great Sage as well.
Although Yuan Wudao’s cultivation level was not at the level of a Great Sage, the top-tier Daoist Physique he possessed enabled his body to contain quite a lot of blood and flesh essences.
After seeing Chu Kuangren use the Gluttonous Devouring Technique from afar, the Sacred Palace of Death’s Gui Wuchou’s eye lit up with desire. However, that gaze soon disappeared.
He really wanted to obtain that technique, but he was not a match for Chu Kuangren. Hence, he had to put that desire on hold for now.
Once he had dealt with Yuan Wudao, Chu Kuangren picked up his Jade Amulet from the ground.
Only then did Feng Yaorao walk up to him.
She gratefully thanked him with an ogling gaze. “Brother Chu, many thanks for helping me get my Jade Amulet back. I shall forever remember your kindness.”
She had already developed weird feelings for Chu Kuangren when he last defeated her, and seeing him kill without mercy in such a heroic manner today had made her heart flutter even more.
Now that he had killed Yuan Wudao and retrieved her stolen Jade Amulet, she finally confirmed her admiration for Chu Kuangren.
A man like that would definitely impress a woman.
Feng Yaorao stared at Chu Kuangren with a little obsession in her eyes.
However, she soon started to notice that something was wrong. Chu Kuangren was still fiddling with her Jade Amulet with no intention to return it to her.
“Uh, Brother Chu, can I have my Jade Amulet back now?”
“Who said that I took this Jade Amulet for you?”
Chu Kuangren replied.
‘What?!’
Feng Yaorao was slightly dumbfounded.
‘Hold on. There’s something wrong about how things are turning out now.’
“I suddenly have an idea.”
Chu Kuangren said to himself as he took out his Sacred Emerald Sword Case.
One by one, countless treasured swords flew out from the sword case to form a terrifying sword formation, trapping every empyrean walker present inside.
The horrifying surges of sword qi that circulated the void were unnerving!
That sword formation could trap and kill even a Sage Ruler!
With Xiao Lintian, Ling Xiao, and the others’ level of strength, they stood no chance at defending themselves. They could only stare at the sword formation before them in horror.
“What are you doing, Chu Kuangren?”
Xiao Lintian asked loudly.
“Brother Chu, please, we can talk this out.”
Ling Xiao was slightly puzzled as well.
“There’s no need for all of you to enter the Imperial Palace anymore, so please hand me your Jade Amulets now.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
That was the idea he mentioned.
Although he desired the Emperor’s Opportunities of Fortune within the Imperial Palace, he still had no clue as to the type of trial that the Qian Emperor had set up to select his successor. What if he was not suitable to inherit his legacy?
What if something happened which led to him losing the Opportunity of Fortune?
To ensure that he could successfully obtain the Opportunities of Fortune inside, Chu Kuangren had decided that only he would be allowed to enter the Imperial Palace. With his competitors out of the picture, would that not make him the only one suitable to receive the Opportunities of Fortune?
Chu Kuangren silently patted himself on the back for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
The remaining people had seen through Chu Kuangren’s intentions as well, and they all stared at him with disbelief.
“D*mn you! Have you gone mad, Chu Kuangren!!”
“You’ve gone nuts. You’ve really gone nuts this time!”
Xiao Lintian, Ling Xiao, and the others glared at Chu Kuangren. They were so angry that they trembled with rage. After all, that Jade Amulet was their ticket to enter the Imperial Palace.
Besides, being able to enter the Imperial Palace meant competing for the Emperor’s Opportunity of Fortune. Even if their opponent was Chu Kuangren, they would still have a chance.
However, Chu Kuangren was not giving them any chance this time. Since he did not allow them to enter the Imperial Palace, then how could they compete for the Opportunities of Fortune?!
