Chapter 748: Sword Qi Torture, I’d Love To See How You Plan To Kill Me
The unforgiving murderous intent descended from above and enveloped every Blood Tribe cultivator.
It was frightening enough to make their scalp go numb.
The Redshirt Guard looked above and saw a white-clothed figure descending from the sky, radiating with a burst of mighty aura that shook the entire asteroid!
"It's Brother Chu…"
Baili Quan finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Chu Kuangren's appearance was like a beacon of light that pierced through their dark sea of despair.
"He's here!"
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials were appalled.
Chu Kuangren, the overlord of the battlefield had arrived!
They had heard their fair shares of stories about Chu Kuangren. It was said that his arrival was always the harbinger of the Blood Tribe's terrible defeat.
The cultivators of Firmament Star had always worshipped Chu Kuangren as the God of War and a ray of hope that would help them overcome any adversities on the battlefield. In contrast, the Blood Tribe viewed Chu Kuangren as the God of Death as his arrival would always bring nothing but despair!
"He's finally hooked."
"Retreat!"
The crimson-robed youngster studied Chu Kuangren and realized that Chu Kuangren's aura had rendered him no ability to resist.
As such, he retrieved a white crystal.
It was a teleportation crystal.
An item capable of transporting him billions of kilometers back to the Blood Tribe's headquarters in an instant.
Just as he was about to crush the crystal, the youngster noticed that a formless barrier had sealed the space around him.
The commodore did not even realize that an invisible cage had been erected around him.
It was the Isolation Sealing Insignia!
"This is bad!"
The crimson-robed youngster immediately panicked.
He had intended to rely on this teleportation crystal to fulfill his plan and leave this place.
Never did he expect that such an outcome would be possible!
Chu Kuangren glanced across the Blood Tribe cultivators.
Then, his Self-Descendant Sword flew out of its handle and unleashed a mighty fury of energies upon the Heavenly Imperials who attacked Shang Honghua previously.
Those with weaker cultivation immediately exploded into veils of blood mists!
After that, he grabbed Shang Honghua over.
Lil Ai, the Omniscient Spirit, wasted no time analyzing her current state.
"Brother Chu, I've absorbed too much rage qi and will not survive any longer. Please take care of the Redshirt Army for me."
Shang Honghua said coarsely.
"Don't worry. You're not dying yet." Chu Kuangren extended his palm and positioned it in front of Shang Honghua. A powerful convergence point formed in Chu Kuangren's hand, pulling the rage qi away from Shang Honghua's body into his own.
"Brother Chu, no…"
Shang Honghua was shocked.
The amount of rage qi in her body was simply incomprehensible. She had barely managed to hold out this long because she had resorted to a secret technique.
Yet, Chu Kuangren was casually absorbing the boundless rage qi into his body. The volume of rage qi would be lethal enough to kill even the strongest Heavenly Imperial.
"Don't move."
Chu Kuangren admonished.
"Quick, kill him!"
Noticing that Chu Kuangren was preoccupied with removing the rage qi from Shang Honghua, the crimson-robed youngster saw an opportunity to attack.
After all, being trapped by the Isolation Sealing Insignia meant that they could not escape anyway.
In that case, why not just go all out on him!
It would be such a spectacular achievement if they managed to kill Chu Kuangren.
By then, a promotion would be the least of his reward. He would be hailed as a hero in the Blood Tribe and respected by the Blood Kings…
At the thought of that, the crimson-robed youngster grew eager.
He finally made his move.
Charging alongside other Heavenly Imperials, he conjured a claret lance that seethed with an explosive amount of energy.
"Blood Dragon Thorn!"
"Divine Typhoon Blade!"
"Go to hell!"
The Heavenly Imperials unleashed their techniques as they charged towards Chu Kuangren.
However, Chu Kuangren stood unfazed.
A formless barrier formed before him.
The Heavenly Imperials' attacks struck on the barrier only for it to be muted.
"What's going on?!"
"What power is that…"
While the Heavenly Imperials were dumbfounded, Chu Kuangren lifted his other hand, activating his Emperor qi and Daoist pattern. Along with it, his universal energies surged, and purple chains appeared in the void. They were the universal chains!
The Heavenly Imperials dodged as hard as they could but failed to avoid the relentless pursuit of the universal chains. It was not long before they were shackled and completely immobile.
"How does he possess such power…"
The crimson-robed youngster was incredulous.
They were some of the strongest Heavenly Imperials around. Yet, they could not retaliate against Chu Kuangren at all.
How could they believe that it was all true?
Alas, the chains that tied their bodies up were undeniable proof that they were far inferior to Chu Kuangren.
Try as they might, but they could never unshackle themselves from Chu Kuangren's grip.
Soon.
Chu Kuangren had finished absorbing all of Shang Honghua's rage qi into his body. From the surface, it seemed like he was completely unaffected.
That was because the rage qi had all been refined and converted into Emperor qi.
Rage qi was also one of many strange energies that existed in this world.
While ordinary cultivators struggled to control these energies, it was no issue for Chu Kuangren who possessed the Universal Cauldron Physique.
The rage qi became a source of nourishment for Chu Kuangren.
After absorbing Shang Honghua's rage qi, Chu Kuangren paced slowly towards the crimson-robed youngster while maintaining cold eye contact. "You sure enjoyed yourself a lot just now, eh?"
The moment Chu Kuangren finished his remarks, a strand of sword qi swiftly cut through the air.
It left a deep wound on the youngster's body, so deep that it exposed his bones to the surface, and blood poured out of the opening.
No matter how hard the youngster tried to contain his injury with his Emperor qi, it was no use. Terrified, he looked helplessly at Chu Kuangren. "W-what're you trying to do?"
"Didn't you use Shang Honghua as bait to lure me here? I'm supposed to be the one to ask that question."
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly.
He noticed that his arrival did not shock the crimson-robed youngster at all. In fact, the young commodore even calmly retrieved his teleportation crystal to flee.
If it were not for Chu Kuangren's Isolation Sealing Insignia, the youngster would have been long gone. Evidently, he had come prepared. Moreover, he had come with a purpose.
"What else is there to do? To kill you, of course."
Sensing that he had virtually zero chance of surviving, the crimson-robed youngster made one last diss at Chu Kuangren as he grinned with a twisted expression.
"It's too bad that you won't be able to witness it then," said Chu Kuangren as he lifted a finger.
Strands of sword qi penetrated throughout the realm, swiftly slicing the shackled Heavenly Imperials into veils of blood mists.
The sword qi sliced in and out of the crimson-robed youngster. Piece by piece, his flesh detached from his body and fell to the ground.
Soon, all that was recognizable of the young commodore was his head. His entire body downwards from his neck was reduced into a bloody skeletal frame.
Eerily, the youngster's head was still connected to his skeletal body as there was still a fragment of consciousness left in him.
However, he could only watch his fleshes butchered from his body helplessly.
"Well, are you having fun now?"
Chu Kuangren said with indifference.
"Y-you… will die a painful death…"
The youngster's broken body was shuddering.
Chu Kuangren simply unleashed a surge of strength qi and destroyed the youngster into pulps. Then, he summoned a pink bubble.
The bubble expanded dramatically before it revealed an entrance.
It was his secret realm.
Chu Kuangren said to Shang Honghua and the Redshirt Army, "All of you should head in first."
"Alright."
The Redshirt Army seemed to know what was up and scurried into the secret realm, which Chu Kuangren then shrunk and stored in his possessions.
At that moment, rays of light pillars shot out from Asteroid Sixty-Four, releasing countless Daoist patterns into its orbit that sealed the entire asteroid. Effectively, the light pillars had formed a gigantic boundary around the asteroid.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised at all.
"I'd love to see how you plan to kill me!"
