Chapter 143: Killing Chu Kuangren With Brute Force? Don’t Embarrass Yourself! He Just Cut Down An Honorable!
The sword shadow towered over Chu Kuangren before it cut straight down on him!
It was a terrifying sword technique!
Even if it was inferior to an Honorable, its strength was close enough. Chu Kuangren gripped the Descendant Self Sword tightly with a slight curl of his lips.
“Now that’s more like it.”
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
Chu Kuangren gripped his sword and swung it all in one go.
With the Sword Soul’s boost, the Descendant Self Sword had reached a level that was almost on par with a Sage Ruler Weapon. In addition to the Five Supreme Foundation Levels that Chu Kuangren had, his spiritual power was no worse than an Honorable.
Not to mention that his comprehension of Dao Techniques was very profound.
Sage Ruler Techniques danced on his fingertips. So despite being the King of War, a single strike from his sword was as powerful as an Honorable Supreme!
The blinding light from the sword rays had all the sword cultivators squinting unconsciously while the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme gave them goosebumps.
Boom!
A huge explosion occurred as sword qi clashed with sword qi. The violent shockwave shook the ground and split open the surface, prompting the buildings around them to crumble and shatter like glass.
Many sword cultivators were sent flying like a kite in the wind as they flailed in the air and exclaimed endless and pitiful screams.
There were risks when watching a good show.
Many cultivators perished as the result of an intense battle.
“F*ck! Run!”
“I won’t make it! Ah! I’m flying!”
“Dear Gods, the sword qi almost killed me!”
The crowd was in mortified disarray. Even certain Honorable Swordsmen felt their skin crawl and their hearts falter when they witnessed the scene.
Crash!
Suddenly, a figure was thrown out of the violent storm before it landed on the street, raising a cloud of dust.
The crowd glanced over at the body and swallowed hard.
The body on the ground belonged to the Honorable Swordsman of Steel, one of the Seven Heroes of the Swordsmanship World who always shone brightly no matter the situation.
His body now lay on the ground with his hair unkempt and a body covered in bloody cuts. His elegant robes were also torn to shreds by the sword qi.
One word to describe all this was ‘brutal’.
How brutal? Extremely so!
“Chu Kuangren!”
Honorable Swordsman of Steel gritted his teeth as he glared into the sky.
The man himself stood there, looking down at him with unflinching and calm eyes. Compared to the beaten and bruised Honorable Swordsman of Steel, Chu Kuangren’s white robes remained pure and undirtied. He was like an untouchable God looking down from above.
“Weak.”
“This is one of the Seven Heroes of the Swordsmanship World? Disappointing.” Chu Kuangren shook his head, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
He then turned his attention to the other sword cultivators and simply said, “Ah, I almost forgot about you lot. Come on, why aren’t you moving?”
There were numerous sword cultivators from the Northern Sea Sword Pavilion and Steel Sword Sect, who were at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, but they were now as silent as the grave. Seeing Chu Kuangren direct his gaze towards them had scared them so much that their whole body shook.
“Come on! Get him, all of you!”
“He’s only a King of War. Even brute force would be enough to kill him!” Honorable Swordsman of Steel roared.
The crowd of sword cultivators looked at each other, afraid to charge forth.
It was simply too terrifying!
Are you saying that a King of War was able to defeat one of the Seven Heroes with one hand behind his back?!
Was the world going insane, or were they losing their minds?!
“Honorable Swordsman of Steel! Get your people up there! He’s just a King of War. Brute force will kill him!”
Frustrated, Sword Hoarder yelled at the battered Honorable Swordsman of Steel when he noticed that the crowd had frozen.
Suddenly, among the crowd, a sword cultivator said in a trembling voice, “He killed a hundred thousand demonic cultivators in Weeping Demon Mountain three years ago! How can someone like us kill him with brute force?!”
Those words made everyone tremble as one by one, rumors of Chu Kuangren began to resurface in their minds.
Three years ago, he had killed a hundred thousand demonic cultivators in the Weeping Demon Mountain as a cultivator in the Paradise Realm.
Three years later, as a King of War, his cultivation base only grew stronger. Whereas for people like them, forget hundreds of thousands, they would not even manage a tenth of that number!
Now, they were expected to brute force Chu Kuangren to death?!
Spare them the embarrassment!
It was impossible to believe those words!
“I— is he really impossible to defeat?” Sword Hoarder glared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief. His voice was trembling and hushed.
He refused to believe this.
How could such a young cultivator have such a terrifying cultivation base? Not to mention he was already so three years ago.
Had he not gone through a three-year-long closed-door meditation, he would have turned the world upside down!
“Retreat!” Sword Hoarder swallowed hard as all thoughts of the Sword Soul were pushed into the back of his mind.
A streak of light then flashed across the sky and in the blink of an eye, it had caught up with Sword Hoarder, blocking his path to escape.
That was Chu Kuangren.
He looked ethereal, and there was no denying that his speed surpassed even an Honorable. There was no escape for Sword Hoarder.
“Get out of my way!!” With that, Sword Hoarder pushed his spiritual power to his limits, and enormous amounts of sword qi burst from his palms.
Unfortunately, he was no match for Chu Kuangren even when he had his swords. So now, without his swords, he had less of a chance to hurt him.
Chu Kuangren merely raised his palm and unleashed his Human Mountain Stamp, shattering Sword Hoarder’s sword qi and throwing him onto the ground.
He cast the Troop-Breaker to the side and pinned Sword Hoarder to the ground in a deadlock with his violent sword qi.
“Let me go, Chu Kuangren. On behalf of all the swords that remain in the case, please let me go.” Sword Hoarder was now afraid as his voice filled with fear.
“This is the second time you’ve attacked me.”
Chu Kuangren faced Sword Hoarder and spoke indifferently.
“I made a mistake! I’ll never do this again!”
“You’ll never have the chance to.”
Placing his hand on the hilt of the Troop-Breaker, Chu Kuangren channeled his sword qi into Sword Hoarder via the sword. Immediately after, enormous bursts of sword qi and blood mists exploded, riddling Sword Hoarder’s body with holes.
With that, one of the Seven Heroes of the Swordsmanship World had fallen!
A little ways away, a figure took the chance to slip into the shadows while Chu Kuangren was killing Sword Hoarder. Honorable Swordsman of Steel had fled!
The sword cultivators’ faces fell when they noticed, especially the elders and disciples of the Steel Sword Sect. They were in disbelief.
“Sect Leader!”
“F*ck! How could our Sect Leader run off like that?”
“Disgusting! That shameless rascal!”
Chu Kuangren pulled back the Troop-Breaker and barked with cold laughter upon realizing that Honorable Swordsman of Steel had fled. “The fool!”
The escaping Honorable Swordsman of Steel suddenly realized that there were two figures in front of him — a gorgeous lady and an elderly woman.
Both individuals harbored the terrifying aura of an Honorable.
“F*ck! Chu Kuangren’s protectors!”
Honorable Swordsman of Steel’s face instantly paled.
The two ladies were Honorable Qing Lan and Old Lady Meng.
“Did you think that you could leave without our Bachelor Sage’s permission? Think again!”
Honorable Qing Lan laughed coldly as she raised her palms and unleashed a beam of white light, blasting the already wounded Honorable Swordsman of Steel.
Soon after, another beam of light flew across the void and landed in front of Honorable Swordsman of Steel. Before he could react, a chill raced down his spine and he could feel his life force fading rapidly.
On the brink of death, he saw Chu Kuangren raise his hand. In his palm was a black whirlpool that resembled the mouth of a giant beast.
Chu Kuangren sucked Honorable Swordsman of Steel into the Avarice dimension with little resistance. After all, he was still an Honorable, so his flesh and blood proved to be very nourishing.
