Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Want to Give it a Try, Princess Linglong Took Action
After Princess Linglong departed, she left a crowd of Sky-prides who were mentally devastated.
Fangtian glared at Chu Kuangren and said, “I’ll be sure to defeat you during the martial arts competition for marriage, and prove to the princess that I’m stronger than you!”
“Same goes for me.” Lin Batian added with a cold tone.
Some Sky-prides let out a few harsh words.
While other Sky-prides just viciously stared at Chu Kuangren.
When the crowd started to disperse, Li Xingchen walked up and looked at Chu Kuangren with admiration. “Brother Chu is truly remarkable, even someone like Princess Linglong can’t resist your charms.”
Chu Kuangren stood still and touched his chin. “Brother Li, I suspect that this Princess Linglong is seriously messing with me.”
“Hmmm, how can that be? If I were a girl, I would definitely be entranced by Brother Chu as well.” Li Xingchen replied.
“Forget about it, let’s stop here for now. We better get a place to stay first, chatting can wait later.”
The three of them found a luxurious inn and stayed there.
When night came, Li Xingchen took Chu Kuangren to the Thousand Island Lake to attend Princess Linglong’s banquet there.
The Thousand Island Lake, as the name implied, was an extremely vast lake with a large number of islands within it. Hence the name, Thousand Island Lake.
The lake had beautiful scenery surrounding it, and the place where Princess Linglong’s banquet was held was located on an island at the center of the lake.
There was a royal palace hall there where Sky-prides from all around the world had gathered. That included a few of the more well-known disciples from sage orthodoxies, such as Fangtian and Lin Batian.
When Chu Kuangren entered with the company of Lan Yu and Li Xingchen, everyone’s gaze fell on him. Some were filled with curiosity, while some were filled with hostility.
Chu Kuangren was already used to being the subject of everyone’s attention. He casually went to find a place to sit.
‘Look all you want, it’s not like I’m going to lose a few pieces of meat if you do so.
‘Besides, I’m so handsome it would be a shame not to look at me.’
“Her Royal Highness Princess Linglong has arrived!”
At that point, a voice came in from outside the entrance.
A woman in a gorgeous robe slowly walked into the hall.
That woman, whose eyebrows were distant like the far mountains, whose lips were red like a scarlet pill, was wearing a Chinese-style dress. Her graceful and slender figure could be seen by all, as well as her noble elegance that was paired by her appearance which was even breath-taking.
That kind of beauty she possessed was one of excellence, like a queen.
Everyone also subconsciously glanced at Lan Yu who was sitting beside Chu Kuangren.
Those two women truly possessed stunning looks.
One who was cold and divine, yet inviolable at the same time.
The other was peerless in beauty, yet difficult to approach.
If Lan Yu were the snow lotus who grew only on high mountain cliffs, then Princess Linglong would be the delicate and rich dahlia flower. Each had its own beauty and charm.
“Greetings, Princess Linglong.”
“Princess Linglong is indeed as pretty as the rumors say.”
“Seeing the royal princess today is indeed a worthwhile experience.”
The crowd of Sky-prides all got up to greet and welcome the princess.
Only Chu Kuangren alone calmly sat at his place. He took a closer look at Princess Linglong, and looked at Lan Yu. “My Lan Yu still looks prettier.”
Upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s words, Lan Yu was on cloud nine and had an uncontrollable smile on her face, which added to her already alluring beauty.
“I see, so she’s called Lan Yu?”
Princess Linglong seemingly heard Chu Kuangren’s words just now.
“Lan Yu extends her greetings to her Royal Highness.” Lan Yu held out her hands as she bowed.
“It’s alright, you’re welcome.”
Princess Linglong looked at Chu Kuangren and had an incredible smile on her face. “Seeing that fellow Daoist Chu is able to attend this banquet, it makes me very happy indeed.”
The crowd of Sky-prides was again very agitated by this.
‘G*d d*mn it, not again.’
‘The princess only has her eyes on Chu Kuangren.’
“You’re too polite, your Royal Highness.” Chu Kuangren realized that this Princess was messing with him again. What kind of princess would behave in such an unreserved manner?
The banquet had started.
The crowds of Sky-prides kept looking around and sizing up each other.
They all knew that everyone who attended this banquet would be their opponent in battle soon.
Of course, they would take the advantage to scout out their opponents, especially Chu Kuangren. Everyone’s eyes were on him, and all were very stern and serious as well.
“Word says that Daoist Chu relied on the Primordial Purple Haze to kill the White Cloud’s Honorable Swordsman and destroy the entire city hall. Those amazing feats of power from him were truly remarkable.” At that point, a Sky-pride exclaimed.
When he said that, everyone’s gaze suddenly became a little strange.
Hearing those words at first, it seemed that he was complimenting Chu Kuangren.
Actually, it was on the contrary.
Emphasizing the words that “he relied on”, was a jab aimed at Chu Kuangren for killing the Honorable Supreme with the help of an item and not by his own strength and cultivation. Hence, it did not count.
Leveling the entire White Cloud city hall to ruins was another jab at Chu Kuangren, indicating that he was cruel and murderous and merciless. He killed relentlessly without care, not letting even the elders or children go.
“Such talent with words, you’re like a weird sarcastic old fart.”
Chu Kuangren gently smiled.
Following that, he looked at that particular Sky-pride as he knew who that was. It was no other than Huayun of the Serene Wisdom Sect, the one who picked a fight with a Sky-pride from the Zhiyang Valley on the streets.
“When I killed the White Cloud’s Honorable Swordsman, it only took me two swings from my sword. So tell me, how many swings from my sword would it take for me to kill you?” Chu Kuangren replied in a chilling tone.
As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became very tense.
Huayun’s expression changed, “What is the meaning of that brother Chu? I have no bone to pick with you, so why are you threatening me in such a manner in public?”
“Can’t reply? Then why don’t we try it out and see.”
Chu Kuangren laughed and slowly stood up.
His actions caused everyone present at the banquet to tremble.
‘F*ck me.
‘Was he really intending to kill someone at this banquet?’
Huayun’s pupils shrank and his heartbeat rose. Being stared at by Chu Kuangren gave him the feeling that he was being entangled by a large poisonous snake and strangled at the neck.
“Hahaha, the well known Chu Kuangren is truly magnificent!”
At that point, a voice came from outside of the hall.
A noble-looking man dressed in yellow robes stepped into the hall.
“Third younger brother.” Princess Linglong saw him and greeted him.
“Greetings sister, your Royal Highness.”
The person who came was the third prince of the Royal Azure Dynasty.
His name was Gu Changfeng.
Gu Changfeng took a look at Chu Kuangren and said, “I’ve long heard that brother Chu’s cultivation level is very high, and I don’t know whether I’ll have the pleasure and honor to have a taste of it.”
“Your Royal Highness wants to give me a try?
“Alright.”
Chu Kuangren nodded in agreement.
At the open space outside the banquet hall, Gu Changfeng went into his stance and said, “My elder brother, the Crown Prince was defeated by your hand. So do not blame me now, for I need to do something about it. So take this.”
The moment the words fell, a stream of golden-yellow dragon qi shot out through the air. The dragon’s roar reverberated through the air. His first attack was already the Sage Technique Dragon Slaughter Fist!
Chu Kuangren’s face was emotionless, he held his Descendant Self sword and swung it.
The purple sword light beam suddenly lit up the night.
That single slash was far brighter than the starlit sky above them!
The light beam from the sword flashed by and instantly obliterated the dragon-shaped fist. That horrifying sword beam was unrelenting and had no signs of stopping. It headed straight towards Gu Changfeng.
“How?!”
Gu Changfeng’s pupils shrank and his expressions changed.
Seeing the sword beam approaching him, Gu Changfeng was powerless to block it and was not able to dodge it in time. A fearful look showed up on his face.
At that instant, a figure appeared before him held up a palm from their hand, which released terrifying surges of spiritual power. It clashed with the sword beam violently, sending shockwaves which spread through all directions, rumbling throughout the whole island and the lake’s water which surrounded it.
“It’s Princess Linglong!”
“I did not know that the Princess has such a high level of cultivation.”
The crowd was shocked and in fear.
They were astonished by that slash from Chu Kuangren, and at the same time were surprised by the royal princess’s cultivation level. All were dazed for a short while before coming back to their senses.
“He is that strong!”
Fangtian, who planned to challenge Chu Kuangren today was shocked mentally and his face was scared pale after seeing that person’s single slash of the blade.
He knew that he could not deal with that attack head-on!
Not only him, but Huayun was also terrified to the point of his body shivering.
He did not realize he was provoking such a terrifying person just now!
He wondered then if Gu Changfeng were to arrive late, would he be the one who would have died, then?
That night, Chu Kuangren amazed the crowd with a single slash, shocking all four corners of the banquet!
