Chapter 618 Chu Kuangren Appears, Watch How I Kill Everyone
The sword shadow was striking downward with a relentless and unforgiving sword aura.
No one below the level of a Sovereign could possibly parry the attack.
What more for Leng Ningyu, who had her cultivation sealed by the energy barrier. Meanwhile, the other Sovereigns were making sure that Sovereign Ying did not attempt anything foolish.
Most had thought that Leng Ningyu was now face-to-face with certain death.
Just as the sword shadow was about to slice through Leng Ningyu, the Sovereigns watched as the sword shadow was clutched by a pair of hands that extended from the void.
"Have you asked my permission to kill her?"
An indifferent voice echoed through the realm.
After that, two figures emerged from out of nowhere.
One of them was a calm, dark-haired cultivator whose hand was clutching onto the Sword Tempest Sovereign's sword shadow. There was a magnificent sword strapped to his waist too.
"Chu Kuangren!"
"It's him! He's finally here!"
The crowd was stunned.
Chi Yue and Lady Leng Yue were visibly overjoyed.
In contrast, Li Celong was staring deadly at Chu Kuangren as his eyes burned with a deep-rooted hatred.
As for the Sovereigns, they were curiously checking out on Chu Kuangren. Although they were here to kill him, it was their first encounter with Chu Kuangren.
However, the Holy Light Chief Sovereign and Dark Shadow Chief Sovereign were concerned. They were aware just how formidable Chu Kuangren was as an enemy.
"He's really here…"
Leng Ningyu stared bewilderedly at Chu Kuangren.
Convinced that she would die today, she never thought that Chu Kuangren would descend upon the place like a heavenly deity and save her life once again.
It was the third time now.
This was the third time Chu Kuangren had saved her life.
It was impossible for Leng Ningyu to return the favor at this point.
Crack…
A loud crack resonated throughout the realm.
Chu Kuangren clenched his fist, shattering the Tempest Sword Sovereign's sword shadow into dust.
"Tsk, so you're Chu Kuangren? Looks like you're not so ordinary after all," said the Toxin Sovereign in awe.
Chu Kuangren glanced at the Toxin Sovereign before looking across to Chi Yue and the other disciples who had been poisoned. "The Toxic Plague Physique, how interesting."
He stared at the Toxin Sovereign as if he was studying his prey.
In fact, he was short of a research subject to gain insights from his Tome of Physiques.
The Supreme Daoist Physique, Toxic Plague Physique, came just at the right moment.
For some reason, the Toxin Sovereign felt uneasy from Chu Kuangren's stare. Deep down, he shuddered, and he could feel chills growing over his skin.
He whispered under his breath, "This little brat is evil."
Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and summoned copious amounts of water qi that enveloped Chi Yue and the disciples.
As the water qi entered their bodies through their pores and washed away the toxins within Chi Yue's and the disciples' complexion became better.
"What an impressive medical skill! He's capable of washing away my toxins. Looks like his skills are close to that of Mu Longzi, or perhaps even more sophisticated!"
The Toxin Sovereign said in shock.
After curing the disciples of their poisons, Chu Kuangren aimed his sword fingers onto Leng Ningyu and instantly lifted the seal within her body.
With another stroke of his finger, he proceeded to shatter the formless energy barrier around her.
"Lan Yu, take her away from this place."
"Sure."
Lan Yu carried Leng Ningyu away to Sovereign Ying.
The Sovereigns did not stop Chu Kuangren throughout the process. After all, Chu Kuangren's appearance at the scene had met their objectives.
The Seven Emotion Sects and Leng Ningyu were just baits to lure Chu Kuangren out from hiding.
"We finally meet," said the Tempest Sword Sovereign to Chu Kuangren. His eyes were seething with the cold, brutal murderous intent.
"Well, this isn't good news for all of you."
"What do you mean?"
"A massacre is likely unavoidable with my presence. The only people dying here will be all of you, which is why this isn't good news."
"You're insane!"
"It's the truth."
The Sovereigns were grimacing at his remarks.
Any of these Sovereigns could dominate over most of the opponents out there. Yet, Chu Kuangren was treating them as if they were nothing.
Chu Kuangren was far more arrogant than they had imagined him to be!
"Chu Kuangren, you don't seem to realize what's going on. Look around you, the Sword Tribe, demonic tribe, Bai clan, Qin clan, and many other orthodoxies have sent their Sovereigns here. Even if there's a dozen of you, the only way out for you is death!" Li Celong exclaimed coldly.
"Heh, you sure talk loud for an insignificant pest."
Chu Kuangren chuckled as he glanced at Li Celong. Then, he unleashed a ray of sword qi and aimed it towards Li Celong.
The Toxin Sovereign hastily rushed in front of Li Celong as he channeled the power of his Toxic Plague Physique into a terrifying palm qi to retaliate Chu Kuangren's sword qi.
However, the sword qi effortlessly sliced through the palm qi, creating a deep wound across the Toxin Sovereign's palm and blasting him backward.
The remaining sword qi landed on Li Celong, dealing him a huge blow, which slammed him heavily into the ground, and a mouthful of blood spat out from his mouth.
"Chu Kuangren…"
Li Celong laid on the ground with his entire body completely damaged from the sword qi's doings. He could not even bring himself to stand up.
All Li Celong could do was to stare furiously at Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren did not mind at all, and nor was he eager to finish off Li Celong. "Make yourself comfortable there and watch how I kill everyone here!"
Chu Kuangren rested his hands behind his back and looked across to the Sovereigns.
The Sovereigns were busy assessing his abilities too.
Ever since Chu Kuangren's appearance, he had put on several remarkable displays of power, especially when he managed to force the Toxin Sovereign into retreat. By the looks of that, his abilities were undeniably greater than an ordinary Sovereign.
The question was, which of the Sovereigns present could be considered ordinary?
"Well, he's here now. Which one of you wants to move first?"
"Heh, his abilities are indeed fascinating! Even I can't accurately sense his cultivation level. However, we've already damaged our reputations when we joined forces in cornering the Seven Emotion Sects. If it takes all of us to defeat a young sky-pride, won't we become a laughing stock?"
"From how I see it, we can just pick any two of us to kill him. The rest of us can just stand by and make sure he doesn't escape."
"That makes sense…"
The Sovereigns were some of the most remarkable sky-prides of their time. Some of them were even once outlawed sky-prides, and they still possessed the same pride they once had countless years ago.
They would not typically go out of their way to interfere in the younger generation's affairs. However, for the sake of their orthodoxies' sky-prides, they had no choice this time.
Nonetheless, the Sovereigns still could not bring themselves to gang up on a young cultivator.
"Don't underestimate him. It's best that we attack together."
The Holy Light's Chief Sovereign said uneasily.
He was well aware of just how terrifying the person before him could be.
"I agree. We should unite against him."
The Dark Shadow's Chief Sovereign agreed.
It was very peculiar for the Chief Sovereigns of the Holy Light and Dark Shadow, who had never been able to coexist in peace, to reach a consensus for once.
The Sovereigns were utterly dumbfounded.
Was Chu Kuangren truly that terrifying?!
"Listen to them. It's best that you all attack at once."
Chu Kuangren took a sweeping glance across the Sovereigns and said.
"Hmph, let's see just how strong a young sky-pride like you can be! Your ancestors weren't even alive when I dominated this world!" A Sovereign dressed in a black-and-white robe snorted.
He was the Sovereign of the Divine Yinyang Sect.
The Sovereign leaped forward and charged towards Chu Kuangren.
A powerful Yinyang energy converged within his palm, infusing itself with the Sovereign's cultivated Emperor qi before it was discharged ruthlessly into the battlefield.
Chu Kuangren responded with a fist technique.
Boom!
At that moment, a deafening explosion ensued. Chu Kuangren's terrifying Daoist Rhymes unleashed a mysterious Daoist pattern that accompanied the conjuration of an apocalyptic scene, which slammed right into the Sovereign's palm.
In the heat of the moment, the Sovereign let out a loud wail as his Yinyang energy abruptly disconnected and his hand exploded into pulps!
Like a broken kite, the Sovereign was sent flying out of the battlefield!
