Chapter 590 One Move To Defeat Bai Hongyu and Wang Quan, It’s All Just A Game
"You've all surely grown some guts for daring to hurt my disciples!"
The ancient majestic sword planted itself firmly between both sides of the battlefield before a person's voice echoed clearly throughout the realm. His voice was so cold that it could freeze the air.
The voice was riled with a hint of murderous intent.
The clouds rolled over, revealing a handsome white-clothed figure that descended from the sky.
The person was none other than Chu Kuangren.
There were also three spectacular ladies behind him. They were Leng Ningyu, Chi Yue, and Swordsman Mei.
Sword Daoist was seething with hatred at the sight of it.
Swordsman Mei was an excellent sky-pride of the Sword Tribe who once craved his affection, whereas Leng Ningyu was someone he was deeply in love with.
Yet, both ladies were now standing by Chu Kuangren's side, and Swordsman Mei, especially, was glowing with admiration.
It fueled the Sword Daoist's hatred to the brim.
Among the crowd, Li Celong was burning with anger and jealousy too.
"Chu Kuangren, these sky-prides are no longer as helpless as they used to be. Let's see how you can defeat them!"
Chu Kuangren glided across the air and landed beside the Self Descendant Sword.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and Shang Qingxue were overjoyed.
After a brief moment of disbelief, Lan Yu instinctively stood behind Chu Kuangren and tried to contain her overwhelming excitement. "Master, it's been a while."
She glanced across the three ladies who accompanied Chu Kuangren, attempting to gauge their relationships with Chu Kuangren.
"Yes, it's been a while indeed. How's everything been going for you?"
"Everything's fine."
Except that she missed him deeply.
Of course, Lan Yu's stubbornness would not allow her to express such feelings for Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren smiled. Reuniting with Lan Yu had put him in an exceptionally good mood.
However, when he turned around to face the outlawed sky-prides, his smile disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an unforgiving expression.
"You guys have gotten cockier now."
Chu Kuangren's voice stirred a dramatic reaction in the surrounding natural qi, causing a freezing chill to blow over momentarily.
"We're cocky because we can afford to be so. Chu Kuangren, our abilities aren't what they used to be anymore. Do you think you can still emerge on top?"
Bai Hongyu grunted coldly and summoned a red blinding saber ray with her Fiery Dragon Phoenix Saber.
As she struck out with her sword, a saber shadow conjured in the air. Suddenly, a transformation of a scene depicting celestials worshipping the sky emerged in the void, where a pair of dragon and phoenix rampaged through the sword shadow!
Bai Hongyu had drawn all the power she had from both her Emperor Weapon and Emperor Technique!
It was a move that would put anyone below a Sovereign on edge.
If this had been the previous battle, perhaps even Chu Kuangren needed to be careful.
However, the outlawed sky-prides were not the only people who had improved drastically.
Chu Kuangren's advancement was far greater than anyone would have imagined!
With his finger, Chu Kuangren merely stroked across the air and unleashed a magnificent purple sword ray at Bai Hongyu's attack.
The sword ray shattered the saber shadow, slain the dragon and phoenix, and proceeded to hit Bai Hongyu's body mercilessly.
Even with the protection of her red armor, Bai Hongyu could not help but spat a mouthful of blood. Like a broken kite, her entire body was sent flying away, and her once domineering aura instantly dwindled. She was in complete disbelief as she laid helplessly on the ground.
She was certain that she had improved a lot, yet a single sword ray had defeated her.
Having been defeated so quickly was... simply a disaster!
"So is this why you can afford to be cocky?"
"Woman, I'm shocked at how stupid you are."
Chu Kuangren stared down into Bai Hongyu's and said indifferently.
Upon witnessing the scene, the other sky-prides were incredulous too.
After all, Bai Hongyu was, at the very least, an outlawed sky-pride!
Yet, she was defeated just like that?
Such… such combat strengths were just too much to take in.
"His abilities have gotten much stronger."
Wang Quan said solemnly.
He knew that despite his drastic improvements, he would not be fully confident of parrying that move.
"One move!"
"I only have one chance to make a move! If I can't defeat Chu Kuangren in this move, then it'll be the end of me!"
Wang Quan took a deep breath and leaped forward, unleashing a display of glistering five-colored aura above him that turned into a five-colored wheel. Like the endless tidal waves, his boundless spiritual powers spread outward endlessly.
Not only that, but he also retrieved his Emperor Weapon.
It was a bell!
A five-colored bell carved with the depiction of the mountains!
It was the Wang clan's Emperor Weapon, the Five Ways Mountain Bell. The Wang Clan Matriarch had previously used this to battle Chu Kuangren.
"Chu Kuangren, come and experience the combined power of my upgraded Five Ways Divine Wheel and this Five Ways Mountain Bell!"
Wang Quan roared.
The Five Ways Divine Wheel began to radiate brightly as the Five Ways Mountain Bell let out a groundbreaking toll.
"Five Way's Grip of Capture!"
Wang Quan clawed forward with his hand, and his fingers projected a five-colored array that manifested as a gigantic palm reaching for Chu Kuangren!
The boundless aura eclipsed the sky and shook all the mountains in the vicinity.
"I see you've mastered the Five Ways energy pretty well. Unfortunately, your Five Ways techniques are no match for my sword technique!"
Chu Kuangren glimpsed at the Self Descendant Sword, which immediately unplucked itself from the ground and levitated to his side. As the sword spun in its axis, it unleashed a brutal sword ray from the tip of its blade!
Like a flash of lightning, the sword ray pierced through the sky and penetrated the Five Way's Grip of Capture.
The enormous palm immediately shattered under the sword's effortless maneuver.
Wang Quan was horrified as he hastily placed the Five Ways Mountain Bell before him to block the sword ray's attack.
To his surprise, the Five Ways Mountain Bell was flung out of his hand before the remaining sword ray blasted on his body and destroyed the Five Ways Divine Wheel above him. Wang Quan felt more than several bones broken into pieces as his body was blasted into a mountain peak nearby.
The mountain peak immediately collapsed into rubble.
"This bell seems like a fine addition."
Noticing the flying Five Ways Mountain Bell, Chu Kuangren retrieved it by using his spiritual thoughts.
The Five Ways Mountain Bell attempted to resist but was overpowered by Chu Kuangren's coercive spiritual thoughts.
"He has become so strong!"
Touheng had initially wanted to join in the fight against Chu Kuangren. However, after witnessing Wang Quan and Bai Hongyu's fate, he was so afraid that he stepped back quietly.
The rest of the sky-prides were dead silent as well.
At that moment, a brutal burst of Sword-based Daoist Rhymes erupted, causing all of the cultivators' swords to shudder in its presence.
Chu Kuangren could recognize the Daoist Rhymes. He turned to Sword Daoist and said, "Looks like it's your time to shine now."
"Chu Kuangren, I shall achieve my vengeance today!"
"Vengeance? Heh, to you, it's vengeance. But to me, it's all just a game."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He had never taken the Sword Daoist seriously. After all, the Sword Daoist was no different than an insignificant ant.
Who would seek vengeance from an insignificant ant?
