Chapter 239: Disrupting The Battle Formation With A Single Sword Qi, I Can Be Sure Who It Is
Like a shooting star, the arrow was sent flying across the sky.
When it penetrated the horde of tormented souls, it immediately went for the Tormented Army Commander!
Meanwhile, each tormented soul that the arrow passed through while on its way was immediately shattered into pieces!
It did not seem long before the arrow had traveled almost a hundred miles and arrived before the Tormented Army Commander.
The group was almost overjoyed.
“We did it!”
Unfortunately, it was at that moment when the Tormented Army Commander abruptly raised his right hand and caught the arrow in its path, sending a terrifying explosion of ferocious qi to its surrounding!
The arrow vibrated madly in its hand before it was immediately crushed into smithereens!
The Horizon Wing Sect Master was appalled at that sight.
“How’s that possible?!”
He was in disbelief.
After all, although the golden longbow that he wielded was not a Sage Weapon, it could still be considered as one of the most stellar supreme weapons. Combining that with his Supreme Honorable cultivation base, even a Supreme Honorable would have a tough time defending against the attack. Yet, the Tormented Army Commander had shattered the attack with great ease!
What level of power was that?
“He must be one of the most powerful Supreme Honorables, perhaps very close to becoming a Sage!”
The Horizon Wing Sect Master’s expression was extremely grim.
The rest were even mortified at what just happened.
“Roar!”
As if enraged by the ambush attempt, the Tormented Army Commander let out a loud battle cry, and the Tormented Army now marched at an even quicker pace.
It would only be a while before the group would clash with the army.
“Damn it, if we don’t destroy their formation, this will be a tough battle.”
“I’m afraid our strengths won’t be enough to last long on this battlefield.”
“Whatever comes, we must fight this battle.” The Horizon Wing Sect Master took a deep breath and looked more determined than ever.
“Damn, I don’t believe this.”
An elder came rushing out, his hand wielding a long spear that was surrounded by a powerful encasing of Daoist Rhymes.
As he launched his spear forward, the Daoist Rhymes exploded and went right for the Tormented Army.
The spear was intended to kill the Tormented Army Commander, but it did not even get close to it before other tormented souls blocked off the attack.
“Curse it!”
“Horizon Sword Qi!”
Another elder withdrew his sword.
Wu Ye took a deep breath too as he twisted his fingers into a mysterious stamp, sending forward a bright golden Buddhist Light that was imbued with mighty power.
Both the sword attack and the Buddhist Light attack were aimed directly at the Tormented Army Commander.
Alas, just like the previous attempt, it was futile.
After another ambush attempt, the surrounding tormented souls had become even more populous in number. It was now more difficult to reach the Tormented Army General.
“Argh!”
Lengchang Kong was furious.
He proceeded to lash out countless rounds of sword qi towards the Tormented Army.
However, if an expert like Wu Ye and the Horizon Wings Sect Master could not do it, what more for a Paradise Realm cultivator like him.
Like dropping a pin into the ocean, Lengchang Kong’s sword qi did not provoke any reaction at all.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master sighed and said, “Lengchang Kong, save your spiritual power. You should prepare for the oncoming battle.”
Lengchang Kong nodded reluctantly.
All of the sudden.
Lengchang Kong thought of something.
He once again awakened his spiritual power and channeled it into a longsword in his hands.
The Horizon Wing Sect Master frowned at the sight of this.
‘Why can’t this kid take any instructions?’
Just when the Sect Master was about to retort his actions, devastating Sword-based Daoist Rhymes immediately exploded from Leng Changkong’s longsword!
The Sword-based Daoist Rhyme was so powerful that it shook the entire city wall!
The rest of the group stared dumbfoundedly in Lengchang Kong’s direction.
“What a devastating aura!”
“How is it possible for him to have such formidable abilities?”
“I don’t think this is his doing, it’s his sword!”
“What’s going on?!”
Lengchang Kong’s sword was now radiating with a bright purple glow, and an eye-catching sword ray circulated at its tip as if it was ready to be released at any moment!
Lengchang Kong himself was stunned.
Before returning to Sunsoil City, Chu Kuangren had imbued Lengchang Kong’s sword with his sword qi so that he could ward off any difficult opponents.
However, throughout Lengchang Kong’s journey back to Sunsoil City, they did not meet any danger at all and the sword qi was preserved until now.
He had initially thought to just give this a try and held no high hopes. After all, even the Horizon Wing Sect Master and Wu Ye could not defeat the commander.
What use could a single strand of sword qi from Chu Kuangren be?
He did not foresee this coming at all.
That a single strand of sword qi could hold such immense power!
The endless stream of energies that was radiating from the sword sent a numbing sensation down his spine. Such devastating power was something Lengchang Kong had never witnessed before!
Yet now, this very source of power was within the grasp of his hands.
At that moment, the power fueled Lengchang Kong’s ambition and he involuntarily lifted his sword handle high, aiming his attack towards the Tormented Army Commander.
He then took a firm step forward and unleashed the entire weight of the sword’s power before him.
“Strike!”
With a loud battle cry, he struck his sword downwards!
A blinding burst of purple sword ray gushed out like a thunderous waterfall and mercilessly tore into the horde of tormented souls.
Wherever the sword qi passed by, countless tormented souls were reduced into dust.
As if sensing an unprecedented threat, the Tormented Army Commander let out a long wail, channeling all his terrifying ferocious qi into the form of a bloodthirsty skull to use it against the oncoming sword ray.
The moment the two attacks collided, the skull was instantly cracked open.
The remaining sword ray landed flawlessly on the Tormented Army Commander.
With a loud wail, the Tormented Army Commander disintegrated under the sword ray.
Without their commander, the remaining tormented souls began to scatter frantically.
On the city wall of Sunsoil City, everyone was staring dumbfoundedly at Lengchang Kong as they struggled to comprehend the attack he just unleashed.
Was the untouchable commander annihilated just like that?
By a Paradise Realm cultivator’s single strand of sword qi!
Lengchang Kong now had all eyes on him!
However, Wu Ye and the Horizon Wing Sect Master knew that this sword attack was something Lengchang Kong could never pull off alone.
He must have relied on someone else to display that attack.
Lengchang Kong’s sword suddenly let out a shattering sound, and cracks appeared along his blade before the sword broke into pieces and fell onto the ground.
Lengchang Kong took a deep breath in.
Although his sword was a supreme weapon, it could not withstand the sheer weight of the sword qi’s power.
“Lengchang Kong, what’s going on here?!”
The Horizon Wing Sect Master asked hastily.
“This strand of sword qi was gifted to me by a fellow Daoist from Black Heaven Sect. He saved my life two days ago and I showed him around the Ancient Battlefield. Before we parted ways, he imbued my sword with this strand of sword qi.”
Lengchang Kong summarized the story to the Sect Master.
“Black Heaven Sect? Who exactly in Black Heave Sect?”
“He covered his face with a spiritual veil, so it was difficult to see. But he did say his surname was Chu,” Lengchang Kong answered.
“A surname of Chu… Chu… Could it be…”
As if the Horizon Wing Sect Master had recalled something, his eyes widened.
A person from Black Heaven Sect who possessed this amount of power and had a surname of Chu…
All these could only lead to a single person.
“Was there a silver-haired lady beside him?”
Wu Ye asked.
“That’s right. I think the lady’s surname was Lan.”
“Then I can be sure who it is.”
Wu Ye and the Horizon Wing Sect Master crossed looks as they both were shocked at the revelation. The duo ended up saying the name in unison.
“Chu Kuangren!”
The mention of his name startled everyone else.
Meanwhile, Lengchang Kong was completely stunned.
What?
Brother Chu was none other than the renowned Chu Kuangren?!
Looking back at his interaction with Chu Kuangren, Lengchang Kong now saw how it made perfect sense.
However, it still did not prevent the shock he felt.
After all, that person was Chu Kuangren!
If one were to ask whose name was the most attention-grabbing in the whole world…
Without a doubt, the answer would be Chu Kuangren!
It was impossible for anyone to be unfamiliar with his name!
