Chapter 447: A Small Gift, Chu Kuangren’s Declaration Of War
Dozens of Sages attacked at once, and all kinds of energy erupted!
Chu Kuangren stood still as golden runes swirled around him, each of them a Sage-grade rune!
The runes intertwined and formed a runic light barrier. The Sages made their attacks but could not damage it at all.
“Use your full strength!!”
A Sage yelled.
Suddenly, multiple surges of Sage Daoist Rhyme erupted. Some Sages took out their Sage Weapons while some cast their Sage Techniques, continuously attacking the runic light barrier.
However, those attacks merely caused ripples on the runic light barrier and no damage. It did not harm Chu Kuangren in the slightest.
“You guys dare come to me with this level of strength? I wonder who gave you the guts to do such a foolish thing.” Chu Kuangren shook his head and said.
Following that, he lifted his arm and channeled his spiritual thoughts.
In an instant, the surrounding clouds and winds billowed as a great amount of spiritual qi gathered to form multiple runic swords that levitated in the air!
“We got careless!!”
“I can’t believe he still possessed such power!”
Horrifying surges of runic aura weighed down upon each of the Sages like a mountain. This made them extremely frightened.
“Fall!” Chu Kuangren let out a soft cry.
In a split second.
Countless runic swords rained down upon them.
The whole street was enveloped with a dense shroud of runic aura, stunning all the great ones who were secretly watching.
After the wave of runic aura dispersed, what remained on the streets were the corpses of dozens of Sages.
Only one person was alive and stood trembling amongst the dead bodies.
That Sage had used the Craggy Ocean Tower’s technique.
Hence, Chu Kuangren deliberately controlled his runic swords to avoid him. It was not because he had suddenly developed compassion for his enemies.
“You’re a Sage from the Craggy Ocean Tower, right? Go back and tell the current Craggy Ocean Tower Lord that I will be personally visiting them in two days. And this is not just some ordinary visit, but it’s to… wipe out your whole sect!”
“Those in the Craggy Ocean Tower who do not wish to die can pack up and leave.”
Chu Kuangren uttered.
At the same time, a mysterious rune appeared in the void and turned into a streak of golden light that shot into that Sage’s body.
“W-what did you do to me?”
That Sage asked in horror.
“A small gift for your Craggy Ocean Tower Lord.”
At that, Chu Kuangren turned around and left.
That Sage dared not delay either, and he hurriedly headed back.
Just like that, the remaining Sage corpses were left on the street. After a while, countless people appeared and were fighting over those corpses. For those below the level of a Sage, the corpse of a Sage was akin to a priceless treasure.
In the past, Chu Kuangren might have been interested in collecting them.
However, now that he was strong enough to slaughter Sages left and right, what benefit could their corpses give him?
Unless it was the corpse of a great Emperor, he would not bother collecting it even if it were a Sage Ruler’s corpse.
“We’ve really underestimated him.”
“I can’t believe he possesses such a terrifying level of combat strength just by using runic Dao. It’s unbelievable.”
“Hey, is someone heading in this direction!”
Someone suddenly said in surprise.
Immediately after, everyone saw a golden ray of light appearing in the distance.
It was a handsome and tall person donned in a set of golden robes. He looked extraordinary, and there was a noble air to him.
“It’s him. Xiao Lintian, ranked eleventh on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard!”
“Why is he here?”
“Nonsense. He’s here for Chu Kuangren, of course. Although he’s the host to the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, he had no choice but to live under Chu Kuangren’s glory for so many years. It’s only normal for him to take revenge for all he has suffered.”
Everyone began to discuss.
When Xiao Lintian arrived at the scene, he saw the piles of Sage Corpses on the ground and grinned. “Chu Kuangren, it seems you are not completely crippled, huh? That’s great. Now, it’ll be all the more satisfying to defeat you!”
As he recalled all the humiliation he endured all those years ago, having been repeatedly defeated by Chu Kuangren, a vicious look appeared in his eyes. “This time, I shall defeat you in front of everyone!!”
To fulfill his wish, Xiao Lintian did not hastily seek Chu Kuangren out for a fight upon learning that the latter was in the Divine Predictor City.
That was because he would first have to set up a stage first if he wished to defeat Chu Kuangren in front of everybody, and only then could everyone witness this battle.
…
Inside the Four Seas Tavern.
Qian Fugui was entertaining Chu Kuangren as a guest.
“Brother Chu, I knew you’d rise again, and I was right. You were already killing it the moment you came out.”
Qian Fugui laughed.
“Mister Qian, I heard that your business is growing better and better recently. You even have some contacts with those top-notched orthodoxies I see.”
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Four Seas Firm was one of the largest businesses in the Firmament Star. However, there had been many changes ever since the appearance of the major forces. In order to gain more fame, these forces naturally required lots of resources to expand their orthodoxy.
Hence, organizations like the Four Seas Firm who possessed huge wealth became the targets of these orthodoxies. Then, under some guidance from the divine predictor, Qian Fugui managed to take advantage of the danger and take the business onto another level.
“Oh, it’s nothing much. It’s just a small business, that’s all.”
Qian Fugui chuckled.
He continued, “Brother Chu, I heard you’re planning to visit the Craggy Ocean Tower. I have also done some business with them over the past few years, so here’s some of the information I can provide about them. Although it may not be of much help, I think you should know.”
“Oh, please tell me more.”
“Since the death of the last Craggy Ocean Tower Lord, the one who has taken over his place is the one who had the position two generations ago. He is also a Sage Ruler…”
…
Inside the Craggy Ocean Tower.
A disheveled figure rushed into their great hall.
“Tower Lord, I have bad news.”
That Sage was the one that Chu Kuangren had previously let go of. At this moment, he rushed into the great hall and quickly informed everyone what Chu Kuangren had told him.
After hearing what he said, everyone’s faces changed drastically. They were fuming with rage.
“B*stard. This Chu Kuangren is a f*cking bastard!”
“If he dares to come to the Craggy Ocean Tower, I will personally teach him the meaning of death!”
The elders of the Craggy Ocean Tower cursed.
Only the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was lost in thought. “You said that Chu Kuangren shot a streak of rune into you earlier and said that was a gift?!”
“That’s right.” That Sage nodded suspiciously.
However, his expression suddenly changed as his whole body swelled up and expanded like a giant ball.
“What’s going on?!”
“I don’t know… Argh!”
“This is bad. Everyone, fall back!” the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord yelled.
However, they were too late.
Along with a scream, that Sage’s body exploded. Large amounts of energy swept out and flooded the entire great hall.
As soon as everyone was shocked, this energy blasted them backward and injured them.
In the center of the energy appeared a mysterious rune, which had absorbed the mists of blood from the exploded Sage. In the air, a bloody word ‘fight’ formed while emanating with menacing killing intent and ferocious qi!!
“What a guy! Chu Kuangren! What a splendid gift!!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord gritted his teeth and said.
Chu Kuangren had sent them a declaration of war!
As the bloody word that read ‘fight’ was levitating in mid-air and filled with a boundless aura, all the Craggy Ocean Tower disciples saw it.
Everyone had a feeling that the Craggy Ocean Tower was about to face a catastrophe that they had never seen before. If they lost, Craggy Ocean Tower would cease to exist!
“Inform all our disciples to prepare for battle!!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord took a deep breath and ordered.
“Sect Leader, there’s no need to mobilize our whole sect. Allow me to go kill him right now!” A newly-ascended Sage said.
“You id*ot!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord snorted. “I said to inform all our disciples. Use whatever we have at our disposal and prepare for battle!!”
“Sect Leader, is there a need for us to deploy such a large convoy?”
That Sage asked, puzzled.
“Yes. This is Chu Kuangren we’re talking about!!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord replied through clenched teeth.
