Chapter 541: Slaying The Empyrean Frost Python, Unruffled Emotions, Leng Ningyu’s Reaction

“What a formidable sword qi.”

Chu Kuangren’s sword qi had put the female cultivator in disbelief.

Although she had witnessed the power of several outlawed sky-prides before, few came close to Chu Kuangren’s combat strengths.

It would only take one strike of sword qi from Chu Kuangren to defeat most Boundary Emperors.

“Which orthodoxy does this outlawed sky-pride come from?”

While the female cultivator was still overwhelmed by shock, Chu Kuangren’s battle with the Empyrean Frost Python had begun.

The Empyrean Frost Python possessed remarkable combat strengths. It could be considered the most fearsome beast that Chu Kuangren had ever encountered. Even the most remarkable Boundary Emperor would find it challenging to penetrate its strong flesh.

Fortunately, it was not a difficult feat for Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren swung his Self-Descendant Sword, unleashing one surge of devastating sword qi after another that left its wounds on the Empyrean Frost Python.

The injury was far from lethal, but it was enough for the Empyrean Frost Python to wail in pain.

“Puny human, I shall kill you!”

“I must kill you!”

The ravaging Empyrean Frost Python slithered across the battlefield as it unleashed its fury of frost qi, causing the earth millions of kilometers around it to rumble.

Countless rivers and forests were frozen over by its frost qi.

Soon, everything within millions of kilometers had turned into a winter wasteland that was devoid of any lifeforms.

Chu Kuangren gently strolled across the Empyrean Frost Python’s frost qi. His surrounding sword qi had rendered the Empyrean Frost Python’s attacks completely futile.

“Before you try to kill me, take a look above you!”

Chu Kuangren said abruptly.

Dozens of pale blue runic lines were chained together in the sky to form a gigantic rune that enshrouded the sky.

Within the rune was endless lightning energy, which shot out a glare that released its terrifying Heavenly Might.

It was the Emperor-grade Lightning Rune!

“Such energy, is it the heavenly tribulation?”

“But how’s that possible? Who in this world could possibly call upon the power of the heavenly tribulation?”

The Empyrean Frost Python was confused.

Then, a ferocious thunder dragon clawed out of the enormous rune and raced down to the Empyrean Frost Python.

With a deafening roar, the mighty thunder dragon dashed through the sky towards the Empyrean Frost Python.

The thunder dragon was several times larger than the Empyrean Frost Python. Its power was so intimidating that the Empyrean Frost Python’s scales vibrated violently as it unleashed all of its frost qi in its clash against the thunder dragon.

The terrifying lightning energy and frost qi collided into an abrupt explosion.

The realm shook in its power. The rivers trembled…

The female cultivator mustered all of her remaining spiritual power to shield herself from the incoming blast wave.

As the Empyrean Frost Python absorbed the damage from the thunder dragon, a boundless amount of lightning energy seeped into its body through the wounds left by Chu Kuangren, rupturing his internal body structure. The once pristine exterior of the Empyrean Frost Python gradually turned charred, as if it had been roasted.

Soon, the thunder dragon dissipated, and the enormous Empyrean Frost Python collapsed into the ground. Its frost qi had disappeared, leaving only clouds of steam that emerged from his body.

“You b*stard…”

Even as it struggled to catch its breath, the Empyrean Frost Python managed to stare at Chu Kuangren and curse at him.

Chu Kuangren did not mind.

He merely swung his sword and sliced the horn off the beast’s head.

The horn was an invaluable part of the Empyrean Frost Python. Having already sustained heavy injuries, the beast’s energy ceased when the horn was removed.

Chu Kuangren retrieved the horn that was radiating with frost qi and grinned. “Qingxue will definitely find this horn to be a valuable item.”

Having trained in frost Dao, a frost treasure like the Empyrean Frost Python’s horn would resonate soundly with Shang Qingxue.

“My Daoist Brother, I am Leng Ningyu of the Seven Emotions Sect. Can I have the Empyrean Frost Python’s horn? I’m willing to exchange an item of equal value in return.”

The female cultivator said to Chu Kuangren.

Leng Ningyu of the Seven Emotions Sect?

Chu Kuangren stared strangely at her.

The Seven Emotions Sect was not an unfamiliar name to him.

As for Leng Ningyu, he could recall her name from the information that Swordsman Mei provided about the Sword Daoist the last time.

If Chu Kuangren remembered correctly, the Sword Daoist was quite obsessed with this person.

Chu Kuangren grinned mischievously and activated his Eye of Revelation.

“Leng Ningyu, the Sage of Seven Emotions Sect, an outlawed sky-pride of the Emperor Road. She cultivates the highest technique of the Seven Emotions Sect, Unruffled Emotions…”

“Her current cultivation level is a Seven-Step Sage Ruler… Her combat strengths can rival even the most remarkable Boundary Emperors…”

Chu Kuangren analyzed Leng Ningyu’s information.

A cultivator trained in the path of Unruffled Emotions?

Such cultivators had long made the decision to abandon their desire for romance. They were some of the strongest cultivators as they possessed little to no weaknesses.

After all, if a cultivator could let go of all possibility of love, what weaknesses could they possibly have?

At that thought, Chu Kuangren stared at Leng Ningyu, which was no different than staring at a piece of cold, hard rock.

If Leng Ningyu were capable of feeling, perhaps it would be a different story.

Just the fact that she was the Sword Daoist’s romantic interest meant there must be some use to her.

However, Leng Ningyu had chosen to abandon all forms of love. She was no different than a piece of rock, leaving little room for her to be used.

“I’m sorry, but this horn is pretty important to me. Goodbye.”

Despite Leng Ningyu being a rather attractive lady, her stone-cold personality left little interest for Chu Kuangren to pursue this friendship further.

He bid her goodbye on a whim and vanished into a sword ray.

Leng Ningyu frowned slightly at Chu Kuangren’s departing figure.

For some reasons unknown to her, Chu Kuangren’s reaction had made her rather… sad.

Although she had seen such reactions in countless others, her emotions had always remained unperturbed.

Yet, Leng Ningyu could feel a hint of discomfort.

It felt as if Chu Kuangren was different from the rest.

Why?

They had merely met for the first time.

Leng Ningyu felt a burning discomfort within her chest.

Spit…

Leng Ningyu spat a mouthful of fresh blood, and her entire face turned white.

“This isn’t good. There seems like something’s wrong with my Unruffled Emotions.”

Leng Ningyu’s frown was much deeper now. She hastily calmed her emotions, which was not a difficult task for her. After all, she cultivated the path of Unruffled Emotions. Restoring her initial emotional state was a simple feat.

Soon, Leng Ningyu managed to recover her demeanor.

She stored the Empyrean Frost Python’s corpse into her Yin and Yang Ring. “I may not have managed to get the horn, but the Empyrean Frost Python is still an extreme frost beast that can be used to control Honorable Teacher’s flame poison.”

She muttered and stared in Chu Kuangren’s direction.

“He nearly made me lose control over my Unruffled Emotions. It looks like I’ll have to be careful around him in the future.”

Leng Ningyu could not fathom the reason behind her peculiar reaction towards Chu Kuangren.

To her, this was a situation that was countless times more terrifying than fighting the Empyrean Frost Python.
