Chapter 573: Fighting Swordsman Gu, Master Is Everything To Me

“Chu Kuangren, how did you find your way here?”

Swordsman Yin was clueless.

They had already used Jian Changfeng to send Chu Kuangren the wrong intel, but how did he still manage to find his way here?

“Want to guess?”

“Do you have another spy in the Sword Tribe?!”

Swordsman Gu was shocked once he managed to connect the dots.

“Heh.”

There was a burst of mischievous laughter from the group.

Before Swordsman Gu could even notice, Swordsman Mei had abruptly killed off two of the Sword Tribe cultivators.

Like an apparition, she vanished into the shadows before reappearing and kneeling before Chu Kuangren. “Greetings, my master!”

The jaw-dropping scene threw the Sword Tribe’s cultivators off the rail.

Never mind if it was only Jian Changfeng.

However, it seemed like even Swordsman Mei had pledged her allegiance to Chu Kuangren. It was simply unbelievable.

Swordsman Mei was a far more outstanding sky-pride compared to Jian Changfeng. As the host of the Dark Descent Physique, she was supposed to be the future pillar of the Sword Tribe!

Besides, the cultivators were well aware of her undying infatuation for the Sword Daoist.

How did her unwavering loyalty now belong to another man?

“What’s going on?”

“Swordsman Mei and Jian Changfeng! The two bright sky-prides of the Sword Tribe have acknowledged Chu Kuangren as their masters?!”

Swordsman Gu’s face twisted in anger.

“Chu Kuangren, what the hell did you do to Swordsman Mei and Jian Changfeng?!”

Swordsman Yin questioned loudly.

Chu Kuangren simply replied, “Why don’t you ask them for yourself?”

“Swordsman Mei, what exactly did Chu Kuangren offer you? Or rather, is Chu Kuangren using anything against you?!”

One of the cultivators questioned Swordsman Mei.

“My allegiance to Master is entirely my decision. Master is everything to me!”

Swordsman Mei said. When she looked at Chu Kuangren, her eyes were burning with passion and admiration that was far more entrenched than when she used to look at Sword Daoist.

The cultivators could not help but feel a sense of chill creeping up from their feet and to their scalps.

Even an experienced cultivator like Swordsman Gu was overcome by a deep sense of fear.

Chu Kuangren was far too evil.

“I don’t care who you are. Those who betray the Sword Tribe must die!”

Swordsman Yin said and immediately vanished into thin air.

Swordsman Yin was a cultivator skilled in stealth techniques and was one of the most proficient assassins in the Shadow Swordsmen ranks.

Most of his victims would perish in his hands before they could even react.

Swish…

In a split second, a sword ray shot towards Chu Kuangren.

Its speed and cunning projection angle were the epitomai of Swordsman Yin’s remarkable assassination techniques.

Cinders sparked with a loud clunk.

However, it was not Chu Kuangren but Swordsman Mei who greeted Swordsman Yin’s attack.

“You aren’t fit to fight Master. Stealth technique? Two can play that game.”

Swordsman Mei snorted as a surge of dark qi released from her body.

“Hmph, then I shall finish you off first, traitor!”

Swordsman Yin sneered and began crossing swords with Swordsman Mei. The duo exchanged attacks in their air, unleashing one surge of Sword-based Daoist Rhymes after another.

Chu Kuangren stared at Swordsman Gu and the rest and uttered, “I’m running out of time. Just come at me all at once.”

The cultivators knew that Chu Kuangren was no easy opponent, hence they did not intend to fight him alone either.

The Sword Tribe cultivators began to release their sword qi, which collectively formed a delicate net in the air that was hurled at Chu Kuangren.

As it was formed by the collective Sword-based Daoist Rhymes of the Sword Tribe’s cultivators, the sword net was remarkably powerful.

Not even a Boundary Emperor would have an easy time escaping from its grasp.

However, Chu Kuangren merely responded by ejecting a single streak of sword qi that immediately tore the overbearing sword net apart!

Not only that, but the sword qi was still momentous as it continued charging towards the Sword Tribe’s cultivators.

Several clouds of blood mists abruptly exploded!

“What?!”

“What a terrifying sword qi.”

The cultivators were horrified.

They were well familiar with the Sword Daoist’s strengths, so they knew just how powerful the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart was. However, the Sword Daoist’s sword qi was far inferior to that of Chu Kuangren!

“Slay!”

Swordsman Gu attacked with a loud battle roar.

He swung his sword forward, and a grey-white sword ray that was seething with a terrifying murderous intent shot out. The sword ray pierced through the sky, heading relentlessly towards Chu Kuangren.

As the strongest warrior in the Sword Tribe, his cultivation level had long reached the Top-notched Boundary Emperor Realm. He was only weaker than a Sovereign in terms of his understanding of Dao.

“Expert Dao?”

“Alas, it would be a far more interesting fight if you’ve managed to achieve Perfected Dao.”

Chu Kuangren gently lifted his hand and pointed two of his fingers out, unleashing a finger technique towards the grey-white death sword ray.

A powerful beam of purple sword ray shot out.

The moment the sword rays intersected, the purple sword ray effortlessly sliced through the grey-white sword ray and continued to encroach upon Swordsman Gu.

“How’s that possible?!”

Swordsman Gu widened his eyes and hastily retaliated by swinging his longsword to block the incoming sword ray.

With a loud clunk, his longsword slipped from the grip of his fingers. At the same time, Swordsman Gu was propelled into the palace wall.

A loud explosion ensued as the walls crumbled into debris. Swordsman Gu vomited a fresh mouthful of blood, and he could feel several of his bones broken into pieces.

He stared at Chu Kuangren in horror.

Swordsman Gu had heard of Chu Kuangren’s tales. It was said that no one below the level of Sovereign could defeat him when he was wielding an Emperor’s Weapon.

Yet, Chu Kuangren was not even wielding an Emperor Weapon now. All he did was lift his finger, and Swordsman Gu was defeated!

This was far too horrifying.

“He’s scarier than the rumors suggested. He has managed to achieve such a dramatic improvement in just a few days. Even if he had the help of the leyline’s resources, how did he manage to refine all of that so quickly?!”

Swordsman Gu looked at a calm Chu Kuangren, who he knew he was no match for.

Swordsman Gu gnashed his teeth and unleashed a powerful energy wave. Now, he was burning with a dark crimson flame.

“I won’t allow you to disturb Master Daoist even if it means sacrificing my life!”

Swordsman Gu said with a menacing expression on his face.

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation and learned the Swordsman Gu had used a secret technique to push his spiritual powers level dramatically.

However, he was using this technique at the expense of his lifespan!

The technique was similar in workings compared to Chu Kuangren’s Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art, but this was far more mysterious.

“Now, die!”

Swordsman Gu transformed into a sword ray and dashed toward Chu Kuangren. As his voracious Sword-based Daoist Rhymes surged, the crimson flame burned even brighter and transformed into an enormous sword shadow that reeked of calamity!

In an all-out attempt, Swordsman Gu had turned himself into a sword to unleash his life’s greatest attack thus far!

“Your bravery is admirable, but alas, it’s fruitless!”

Chu Kuangren said faintly as he drew the Self-Descendant Sword, which unleashed a purple sword ray that shined in the night sky like a bright crescent moon.

It was marvelous and breathtaking!

At the same time, it was seething with an unforgiving bloodlust!

Swordsman Gu’s sword shadow was sliced through like a knob of butter, and his entire body was sliced into two halves.

What a pitiful scene.

The Sword Tribe’s cultivators were struck by fear. To them, the handsome white-clothed man before them was like the incarnation of a demon that ascended from the greatest depths of hell!
