Chapter 331: Defeating The Scaled Tribe’s Young Master, Grabbing The Trident Halberd, She’s Here
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Fine, I’ll grant you your wish!” Provoked by Chu Kuangren, the proud Bei Mingsan no longer hesitated.
He did not think he would lose at all.
Bei Mingsan’s unstoppable winning streak had given him a huge boost in confidence. On top of being armed with the Boundary Emperor Weapon, the Trident Halberd, his power could even force a Great Sage into retreating.
Bei Mingsan felt that there was no way Chu Kuangren could defeat him.
In fact, it was not only Bei Mingsan who shared such a sentiment. The rest of the Scaled Tribe thought the same too.
“Young Master’s ability is remarkable. With the power of the Trident Halberd, even Sages could be defeated. How could Chu Kuangren possibly match against his strength?”
“That’s right. He’ll only lose this battle.”
“Chu Kuangren is an outstanding sky-pride on land. He’s so young yet he has already reached the realm of an Honorable. Rumor has it that he’s even defeated Sages. It’s such a shame that he’s now met our Young Master, for it’s now destined that he shall fall!”
The Scaled Tribe members discussed excitingly.
The Sages of the island were curious as well.
Although they understood Chu Kuangren’s combat strengths well, Bei Mingsan’s ability was not to be underestimated either. Could his power still lose to Chu Kuangren with the Trident Halberd?
“Bring it on!”
Wielding the Trident Halberd, Bei Mingsan unleashed a destructive force of Water Daoist Rhymes that transformed into a frightening torrent and it charged towards Chu Kuangren.
Even his opening attack could rival the power of a Sage.
However, Chu Kuangren merely raised his palm without any weapon in hand.
The ruinous force of his Human Mountain Stamp suddenly erupted, sending the entire weight of a godly mountain crashing onto the torrent and shattering it into droplets.
Bei Mingsan’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement. “Amazing! The strongest sky-pride of the land indeed. Looks like I’ve found my match today!”
Bei Mingsan gripped his Trident Halberd tighter and as he charged excitedly towards Chu Kuangren, he unleashed a monstrous power of a wave. The intimidating roar of a tsunami immediately echoed throughout the realm.
Chu Kuangren drew his Self Descendant Sword, counter-attacking his move with a sharp Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that ruptured Bei Minghan’s Daoist Rhymes and blasted him a few hundred feet away!
With another strike, a magnificent purple sword ray was unleashed with an earth-splitting Daoist Rhyme that charged ferociously towards Bei Minghan!
“Dark Water Ravage!”
With a loud grunt, Bei Mingsan activated his ultimate technique.
It was a Sage Ruler Technique that could almost be considered an Emperor Technique. However, with the support of the Trident Halberd, it would be considered equal to the Emperor Technique.
The moment the Trident Halberd struck out, the two opposing forces clashed violently against one another. In that split second, formidable energies were sent in all directions and the entire realm was disrupted.
Under that tremendous force, Bei Mingsan had to retreat a few steps back as he could feel his Trident Halberd buzzing violently. He almost lost his grip over it.
“I didn’t think he would’ve such strengths!”
Bei Mingsan was incredulous.
Throughout all his previous battles with other sky-prides, Bei Mingsan had always dominated, so he did not think he would struggle in this fight!
Never had Bei Mingsan encountered such a situation.
“This is as strong as you can get? I must say that this is disappointing.”
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly.
An equal to a Grand Sage?
From what Chu Kuangren could observe, Bei Mingsan had, at most, sparred with a Great Sage or two. It was impossible that Bei Mingsan could defeat a Great Sage.
However, Chu Kuangren was on another level.
He could actually slay a Great Sage!
“Again!”
Bei Mingsan roared furiously.
Bei Mingsan channeled his Daoist Rhymes and spiritual energy through the Trident Halberd to its maximum, conjuring a dark ocean before them!
The dark ocean gushed with furious torrential strength.
A boundlessly magnificent force immediately enveloped Chu Kuangren.
The sheer aura of the ocean was crushing him!
An average Sage would have difficulties defending against such an attack. Unfortunately for Bei Mingsan, his opponent was none other than Chu Kuangren, who was significantly stronger than the average Sage.
“Now die!”
With a raging roar, Bei Mingsan struck with his Trident Halberd.
The accumulated energies instantly exploded!
The boundless ocean gushed ferociously towards Chu Kuangren!
“Now this is interesting.”
“But it’s still not enough!” Chu Kuangren smiled as flames began to appear all over his body. The Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art was activated.
Using his Self Descendant Sword, Chu Kuangren unleashed a single strike against the oncoming attack.
“Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!”
The sword ray of this attack was beyond magnificent!
The entire dark ocean was split in half by the sword ray!
All in a single strike!
“What?!” Bei Mingsan was horrified. Since the sword ray had split the ocean, it was already coming for him.
“You can’t get me!”
Bei Mingsan grunted as he defended himself with the Trident Halberd.
As the sword ray and Trident Halberd clashed, it unleashed an earth-shattering explosion that rang out like an incessant stream of soundwaves.
No longer able to stand the energy, Bei Mingsan spat a mouthful of fresh blood as he was blasted away. His Trident Halberd had also slipped through his hands from the impact.
Chu Kuangren turned into a stream of light and sped toward the Trident Halberd to grab it.
However, just when he had just managed to grab it, Chu Kuangren felt a hostile aura approaching from behind and it was followed by an ice-cold palm qi!
“Hmph.”
With a light grunt, Chu Kuangren retaliated with another palm technique.
A bright golden Buddhist Light erupted.
“Giant Palm of Exorcism!”
As the giant golden palm and the ice palm qi collided, their energies were dispersed to its surrounding.
Chu Kuangren took a few steps backward and finally noticed the ambushing attacker. It was a white-haired elder.
As he stared coldly at Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren could see that the elder’s face was covered with a layer of scale. Evidently, he was the Scaled Tribe’s Sage.
“Hand over the Trident Halberd, little brat.”
Chu Kuangren raised the Trident Halberd, spun it twice, and stored it into his Yin and Yang Ring under the furious observation of the elder.
“The agreement was that the Trident Halberd is mine if he lost. Does the Scaled Tribe not honor their words?”
“The Scaled Tribes may compensate you with other items, including our soulstones and even treasures of the deep. However, this weapon is off the table.”
“Unfortunately, I’m only keen on having this one.”
Chu Kuangren said firmly.
“If that’s the case, don’t you wish to leave this island.”
The Scaled Sage said solemnly.
A huge crowd of Scaled Tribe members then gathered before him, forming layers after layers of barricades around Chu Kuangren.
Their reinforcement was intimidating that even a Sage would be troubled.
The Scaled Tribe had a lot of members. Besides, since the ocean was familiar territory for the Scaled Tribe, this fight would not favor Chu Kuangren at all.
“Heh, if the Scaled Tribe wishes to make this a zero-sum game, then bring it on.” A guqin then manifested before Chu Kuangren.
The Sages could not help but feel chills when they saw the guqin.
They knew that once Chu Kuangren started playing the guqin, the power of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords would instantly kill half of their clan members.
After all, guqin music was best used to attack large areas.
Boom!
At that moment, the Scaled Tribe felt terrifying energy manifesting from behind, and it was followed by incessant sequences of wailing.
“Ah, what’s that?!”
“Quick, kill her!”
The crowd immediately turned back.
A figure had suddenly appeared behind the Scaled Tribe’s line.
It was a headless figure, wandering amongst the members of the Scaled Tribe. The figure seemed to be sucking the life forces out of each member as it passed them, instantly reducing them into a pile of dried corpses.
Everyone, including the Sages, gasped in horror when they saw the headless figure.
Even Chu Kuangren was frightened by the sight of it.
“She’s here!”
