âIâd like to see you make me do that.â A cold voice sounded.
Chu Kuangren descended from the sky. He was in his usual pure and spotless white robes, his long black hair was at his waist, and his figure emanated a boundless aura that shook everything in every direction.
Everyoneâs eyes lit up at his arrival.
âThe Hundred Academyâs Chief is here!â
âThis energy⦠Heâs really something else!â
Chu Kuangrenâs appearance instantly captivated everyoneâs attention.
In the clouds, Yu Zhi, the Holy Jade Pool Maiden Sage, looked at Chu Kuangren with a hint of surprise. âHeâs Chu Kuangren? His aura⦠He really is different.â
She could feel a vague and strange resonance from Chu Kuangren.
âWhat is this feeling?â
She had no answer to her question, which piqued her curiosity toward Chu Kuangren even more.
The Eastern King Schoolâs Heavenly Champion, Zhuo Donglai, noticed Yu Zhiâs interest in Chu Kuangren, and his face turned grim.
He looked at Chu Kuangren with a hostile gaze.
On the other hand, the Soul Vanquisherâs and Chi Zhanâs gazes turned serious as well.
âHeâs here.â
âHeâs an elite! Heâs worthy for me to fight him with my best or even give my life to it!â Chu Zhan said with excitement.
The people of the Chiyou Tribe were skilled in fighting, and they were also battle fanatics.
Sensing the aura from Chu Kuangren ignited the battle intent in Chi Zhanâs bones. If it were not for the Soul Vanquisherâs plan, he would have jumped in and started a fight.
âYou will fight him, but not now,â the Soul Vanquisher said.
âIâm looking forward to it.â Chi You grinned.
Chu Kuangrenâs arrival shook everyone and everything.
Cao Yun and Xing Feng even pause their fight unconsciously.
âIs he the Chief?â Cao Yun muttered.
âHaha, Chu Kuangren! Youâve finally shown yourself! Now, show me your true strength!â Jiu Fang bellowed.
The yokai qi around him rose sharply as he channeled the surging water-fire energy in his body and launched it at Chu Kuangren.
âWater Fire Flooding!â
A single palm struck forward, along with the water-fire energies gushing forward like a torrential wave.
The void was shattered into pieces.
âAre you worthy of my true strength?â Chu Kuangrenâs gaze remained indifferent.
A shallow green glint appeared in his eyes as though two pieces of leaves were inside them. Then, he pointed his sword hand sign out, channeling the Heavenly Intent to sword intent and then sword qi.
With a swing of his sword hand sign, the sword qi broke through the void cleanly and crisply.
The sword qi contained an immeasurable sharpness.
It shredded the torrential energy and struck Jiu Fang. A loud bang later, a mist of blood erupted, followed by a sudden downpour of wild beastâs blood.
It only took one slash for Jiu Fang to fall!
Everyone was rendered speechless and awestruck.
Their eyes widened, and their pupils shook as they stared at Chu Kuangren with an utterly inconceivable look.
Jiu Fang was killed with a single slash!
âA-Am I dreaming?!â
âN-No, this is impossible!â
âJiu Fang is a Heavenly Champion. How could he be killed in one slash? This is unbelievable.â
âHow powerful has the Hundred Academyâs Chief gotten?â
Everyone was in disbelief.
âThe green glint earlier, was that the Green Leaf Sword Vision?â
Someone noticed the green glint and the two leaves in Chu Kuangrenâs eyes.
It was the characteristic of the Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique, Green Leaf Sword Vision.
âBut I thought the Chief possessed the Heavenly Samsara Physique.â
âWhy does he have the Green Leaf Sword Vision?â
âWhat happened?â
Everyone was baffled.
1
Regardless, it was an undeniable fact that Chu Kuangren killed Jiu Fang with a single slash.
The display of his strength made everyone revere him.
âIâll give you a chance to make me pay. How would you do it?â Chu Kuangren turned to Ju Ling and voiced his thoughts.
Ju Lingâs pupils trembled in fear.
âWhat is this? His cultivation level should be the same as mine. How did he kill Jiu Fang with a single slash? Whatâs going on?â Ju Ling was deeply shaken.
At that moment, he had started to regret his recklessness. If he did not poke his nose into the mess, he would not be standing in front of someone as terrifying as Chu Kuangren.
Indeed. Chu Kuangren was a terrifying figure, at least to Ju Ling now.
âAnswer me. How are you going to make me pay?â Chu Kuangren bellowed coldly.
His aura spread and enveloped Ju Ling whole.
Ju Ling could not help but quiver in fear.
He realized he was no match for Chu Kuangren, and the only option was to flee.
Ju Ling shouted and channeled his Golden-colored Immortalâs Core.
Daoist patterns started to intertwine in the void, forming a huge avatar in golden armor, whose terrifying aura emanated across the land.
âTitanâs Avatar!â
The Titanâs Avatar hurled a punch at Chu Kuangren while Ju Ling transformed into a stream of golden light and fled.
âFool.â
Chu Kuangren took a step forward. The sword qi on him surged, and it only took him an instant to obliterate the Titanâs Avatar.
He did not even use any technique. All he did was pull out the purest form of sword qi, but with the buff from Green Leaf Sword Vision, even the simplest of sword qi could be enhanced several times.
A moment later, Chu Kuangren appeared before Ju Ling.
âWhere are you going?â His voice was emotionless.
To Ju Ling, they were the whispers from the grim reaper.
âP*ss off!â
Ju Ling unleashed all his powers, including the will of the Immortal World, igniting his life essence, and so on â everything he could think of to increase his power.
He hurled the strongest punch he had ever done in his entire life. His golden-colored fist sign looked like it could obliterate anything and everything!
Chu Kuangren, however, remained calm as he pointed his sword hand sign at the incoming fist sign.
Bang!
The sword qi shot out from the tip of his fingers and destroyed the fist sign in the blink of an eye before hitting Ju Ling.
The golden armor on him shone brilliantly in an attempt to block the sword qi, but its effort was futile as it was torn to shreds.
With that, Ju Ling exploded into a mist of blood.
âM-Monster!â
Everyone else gulped in horror.
On the other hand, Xing Feng had lost the will to battle. He channeled his cultivation and transform himself into a stream of light, fleeing as fast as he could.
âRun! I must run as fast as I can, as far as I can!â
It was the only thought in Xing Fengâs mind.
That was when a surge of sword qi dashed across the void and caught up to Xing Feng.
Just like that, Xing Feng died as he exploded into a mist of blood.
All three sky-pride Heavenly Champions were dead, and Chu Kuangren had only pulled out three slashes!
Three slashed, three kills!
No fancy technique was involved, but the divine might he displayed was enough to shock everyone present.
âSo this is the Chief?â Cao Yun stared at Chu Kuangren blankly.
At that particular moment, Chu Kuangren was too bright for his eyes, so bright that he no longer thought of competing with the former.
When he came to his senses a moment later, runes were flowing in his eyes as he tried to pry into the fate of the Chief. However, what he saw shocked him, and the mystical symbol of fate in his eyes almost crumbled into pieces.
He could not deduce or even have a glimpse of his fate! He could not even look directly at it!
He quickly averted his gaze while a line of blood trickled down from the corner of his eyes. At that moment, his reverence for the Chief grew even more.
âDoes anyone else want me to pay for what I did?â
Chu Kuangren stood with his hands behind his back after the triple kill. His eyes glanced over the void and mountains, and his earth-shattering aura continued to spread.
All who witnessed the unbelievable scene were rendered speechless, sky-prides and Heavenly Champions alike.
