A storm below over, sweeping a powerful Sword-based Daoist Rhyme across the Spiritual Qi Leyline.
The outlawed sky-prides were appalled as they stared into the distance.
The realm was now clouded with the dense presence of sword qi, which manifested as twelve terrifying sword qi pillars, sealing the Spiritual Qi Leyline in its entirety!
"It's the Nine Heaven Sword Prison, the Daoist Transformation of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart!"
"Is it the Sword Daoist?"
"No. There's one more person besides the Sword Daoist."
"He's here!"
The cultivators switched their attention in the same direction — the source of the boundless sword qi aura!
A white-clothed young man glided across the air as sword qi blossomed in his path like a garden of lotuses.
His excellent and remarkable poise shocked many cultivators.
However, for Xiao Jingchen, Touba, and those unfortunate enough to have witnessed the youngster's tactics, there was only terror written over their faces.
"I'm taking this Spiritual Qi Leyline!"
Chu Kuangren said calmly. Although he was not loud, his voice was heard clearly by every cultivator in the area.
They were dumbfounded, to say the least.
"If I'm hearing him right, he's saying that he's taking this entire stretch of Spiritual Qi Leyline!"
"Well, if my comprehension doesn't fail me, I'm guessing the same too."
"Did he just say he's taking the entire leyline? How preposterous! Even the outlawed sky-prides are taking a part of it, but he's laying claim over the entire thing?!"
The cultivators stared at Chu Kuangren as if he was some sort of a lunatic.
How many treasures did this Spiritual Qi Leyline contain?
It was a mind-numbing amount, so much so that no outlawed sky-prides had the courage nor capability to take all of it for themselves.
Yet, Chu Kuangren did!
"Classic Chu Kuangren. He's always out there to make shocking announcements."
Xiao Jingchen inhaled deeply and said.
He was not as shocked as the others.
After all, Chu Kuangren's doings before their arrival at the Emperor Road were no less dramatic than this one.
"Holy cow! This guy is still as domineering as ever. That's kind of sexy actually."
Zhang Hongying stared at Chu Kuangren as she smacked her lips. Her eyes were glimmering with admiration.
The Ashura Tribe had always held warriors with high regard, and Chu Kuangren was undoubtedly the strongest of warriors!
Besides, Chu Kuangren had helped the Ashura Tribe survive a disaster by sealing the Demonic Realm in Purgatory Forest. Hence, it was no surprise that Zhang Hongying was fond of him.
"You want the entire Spiritual Qi Leyline?"
Wang Quan, Wang clan's outlawed sky-pride sneered coldly. "Who are you kidding?! And just who do you think you are?"
"Chu Kuangren, the person who dominates the Emperor Road!"
Chu Kuangren said casually.
He did not hesitate at all to declare himself as the person who dominated the Emperor Road.
The sky-prides could not help but frown at his remark.
Well, sh*t!
How absurd was this guy? To treat every cultivator of this realm as if they were nothing!
"Hmph, it takes more than just words to dominate the Emperor Road."
Wang Quan snorted and said to the Sword Daoist, "Sword Daoist, you're the host of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart just like him. Don't you have anything to say?"
Everyone's focus was now on the Sword Daoist.
If the hosts of the Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart fought, it would surely make a spectacular sword Dao battle!
It would be an unprecedented battle in history.
The cultivators were getting excited now.
The Sword Daoist's face merely sunk after he heard Wang Quan.
He could only stare at Chu Kuangren uneasily.
Chu Kuangren stared back at the Sword Daoist mischievously and taunted, "Sword Daoist, do you dare?"
"Don't get too cocky now, Chu Kuangren."
The Sword Daoist uttered coldly.
"Skip the nonsense. Do you dare or not?!"
Any other outlawed sky-prides would have attacked in face of such pressing humiliation.
However, the Sword Daoist did not make a move.
Having been defeated twice in one move by Chu Kuangren, he was clear just how devastating Chu Kuangren's abilities could be.
Even with all the Opportunities of Fortune he had collected over the past few days and his clone inching closer toward his true abilities, the Sword Daoist did not dare tread lightly.
The cultivators could read the situation as well.
Was the Sword Daoist scared?!
He was scared of Chu Kuangren!
The discovery caused the sky-prides to gasp.
Who was the Sword Daoist?
He was the Daoist of the Sword Tribe, an outlawed sky-pride who was most remarkable in sword Dao. Yet, a person like him was now hesitating to attack Chu Kuangren!
The witnessing crowd thought the scene before them was too ridiculous.
"Oh heavens. Are you afraid, Sword Daoist?"
Wang Quan asked puzzledly as he could tell the Sword Daoist was afraid.
The Sword Daoist grimaced and responded, "Wang Quan, you're surely annoying as hell. Why don't you attack him then?!"
The Sword Daoist then retreated to a side and said. He was insistent on staying out in this fight.
It was a clear indication to all the cultivators that the Sword Daoist was indeed fearful of Chu Kuangren!
"Where the hell did this fella come from? Even the Sword Daoist is afraid of him."
Many in the Emperor Road did not know of Chu Kuangren before this. However, Chu Kuangren's name had now been etched deeply within their memories.
After all, he was a being that even the Sword Daoist feared!
"It looks like you don't have the guts after all," said Chu Kuangren. He then looked at Wang Quan and the rest. "What about the rest?"
"Hmph. I shall see what you're truly made of!"
Wang Quan grunted. His body began to glow in five arrays of colors as he unleashed ripples of tenacious energy.
"Five Ways Technique, Broken Gold!"
Wang Quan unleashed his fist technique, summoning a golden ray of light that was compounded with a strong gold qi that gushed out like a molten gold torrent!
Chu Kuangren did not draw his Self-Descendant Sword but instead retaliated with a fist technique.
A terrifying dark fist qi burned with rage fire as it crashed into the molten gold torrent!
The opposing energies exploded with a bang before the molten gold torrent began to swarm back at Wang Quan.
"What?!"
Amongst his five-colored lights, the one in yellow began to glow brighter as it formed an enormous shield before him. The shield had a thick gravitational pull.
"Mountain River Shield!"
The molten gold torrent and Chu Kuangren's fist qi crashed into Wang Quan's Mountain River Shield.
The shield crumbled instantly as Wang Quan was blasted almost a hundred meters away.
He stared gravely at Chu Kuangren. From that one technique, Wang Quan could deduce that Chu Kuangren's abilities were much stronger than his!
"Rage? What ties do you have with the Seven Emotions Sect?"
Wang Quan questioned coldly.
From the sideline, the Sword Daoist was beginning to feel uneasy.
The Sword Daoist's romantic interest, Leng Ningyu, whom he cared so much for, was a Sage of the Seven Emotions Sect.
"None," said Chu Kuangren calmly.
"Hmph, never mind that. Regardless of your ties to the Seven Emotions Sect, there's no way you're taking all of the Spiritual Qi Leyline for yourself!"
With a lift of his hand, Wang Quan's five-colored lights beamed all at once. It then summoned an enormous claw that reached towards Chu Kuangren. "Five Ways Grip of Capture!"
The vibrant Five Ways energies coursed within the claw as they mercilessly attacked Chu Kuangren.
"Is that all?"
There was a hint of disappointment in Chu Kuangren's eyes before he swung his Self-Descendant Sword.
/strong>
A strike of purple sword ray shot out into the air along with it a calamitous Daoist Rhyme that ruptured the enormous claw in half.
With a loud wail, Wang Quan collapsed backward, and blood began to pour out of his right palm. His wound was deep enough to expose the bones within.
Chu Kuangren gripped on the Self-Descendant Sword and looked across the outlawed sky-prides at the scene. "It's too troublesome having to fight all of you one at a time. Just come at me together."
