Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 169: The Elites Have Arrived One After Another, I Am Number One, You Dare To Have An Issue With That?

Honorable Xuan Qi stood at the peak of the mountain, facing the surges of tribulation alone.

Only Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu were behind him. Chu Kuangren said to Lan Yu, “You should go and help Elder Ruyan too.”

“Master, can you handle this alone?”

“They’re just a bunch of lackeys. I alone can deal with them.”

Lan Yu hesitated for a bit before she nodded and left the place.

With that, only two people — Honorable Xuan Qi and Chu Kuangren were left at the mountaintop.

“Kuangren, why are you still here?” With the Purple Star Sacred Sword in one hand, Honorable Xuan Qi turned around and gave Chu Kuangren a look.

“To safeguard you, Honorable Teacher.”

“Oh, very well then. You can observe how I go through ascension. It might be of some help to you in the future.” Honorable Xuan Qi laughed.

Boom!

Just then, a bolt of azure blue lightning with the diameter of a water bucket emerged from within the black whirlpool, and its target was Honorable Xuan Qi!

The first heavenly tribulation had begun!

Honorable Xuan Qi had a grim look on his face, but when the lightning bolt was nearing him, its direction was diverted by the Thundersoother Rod beside him. The lightning blasted directly onto the rod, sending the tremendous lightning energy into the ground.

He had passed the first heavenly tribulation just like that.

Honorable Xuan Qi had a somewhat surprised look on his face, “Kuangren, this Thundersoother Rod of yours is really extraordinary. My ascension is going to be so easy.”

“Honorable Teacher, please keep your guard up, this is just the first heavenly tribulations.”

There would be at least nine heavenly tribulations for a cultivator’s ascension, with each one of them stronger than the other. The last one could very well be akin to a strike from a Sage.

After the first heavenly tribulation, the tumbling clouds started to accumulate the energy for the second heavenly tribulation, so there was not any commotion for now.

Suddenly, Chu Kuangren’s expression shifted.

Out of the blue, a malicious and murderous intent appeared in the air. From not far away, a disheveled man with a broken arm was seen slowly walking up the mountain.

This person emitted an extremely sharp sword qi that cut down every flora around the area, creating a scene of mess.

“Oh, it’s you, Feng Wuchang.”

Honorable Xuan Qi took one look at the disheveled man and immediately recognized who he was.

“Honorable Xuan Qi, you’ve got yourself a very good disciple I see. Of the Black Heaven Sect’s vast cultivator count, he’s the only one who’s here safeguarding you.”

Feng Wuchang said nonchalantly as he batted an eye on Chu Kuangren.

“Heh, if it wasn’t just me here, would you guys dare show up?”

Chu Kuangren sneered.

Then, he looked at the sliced foliage behind his enemy and said coldly, “This place, even when it comes to a flower or a tree, is still Black Heaven Sect property. Nobody is allowed to touch them.”

At that, he raised one hand up fiercely and majestic earth qi started to gather. He threw out a palm and a Godly Mountain appeared out of nowhere.

Feng Wuchang was slightly taken aback by that, but he then raised his hand up to let out a sword attack, and the terrifying sword qi crashed onto the Godly Mountain. The clash generated a violent force that pushed him back a few steps.

“What a scary power. Chu Kuangren, it seems that your reputation is not a sham!”

Feng Wuchang stared at him seriously.

He had heard quite a few rumors about Chu Kuangren. Now that he was face to face with this peerless sky-pride, he felt an immense pressure on his shoulders too.

On the thought of that, his hatred and envy towards Honorable Xuan Qi deepened.

What did he do to deserve such a destitute life while his rival had become a prestigious Sect Leader with such an amazing student?

This was too unfair!

“Haha, Honorable Xuan Qi, long time no see.”

A laughter was heard. From a stone’s throw away, a sword ray flashed past and landed before the few people, turning into a white-haired elder dressed in a green robe.

The sword qi that was emanating from the elder’s body was as powerful as Feng Wuchang’s.

Buzz buzz…

Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard from the void.

It was as if there were countless vibrating swords. However, all they saw was a white-haired man walking up from the base of the mountain with his hand holding a quaint longsword.

“Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries.”

Honorable Xuan Qi was able to tell who that was.

Since the death of Honorable Swordsman White Cloud, of the entire Azure Dragon Domain, this Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries’ sword Dao could be considered second to his.

Of course, the list did not include Chu Kuangren.

“Heh, what a big occasion we have here.”

An elder dressed in a black robe walked up to them. Majestic Daoist Rhyme was flowing around his body just like endless ocean waves.

Elite cultivators had shown up one after another, heavily surrounding the whole mountaintop.

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly tense!

Chu Kuangren activated his Eye of Revelation to scan all the people who were present. “It seems like quite a number of you have shown up here today. The Senior Elder of Azure Watersword Sect, Feng Wuchang, Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries, Honorable Zhuo Lang, and in addition to that are those other people who have wreaked havoc at Black Heaven Sect. I wonder if there’s a mastermind orchestrating all this.”

“Are you not going to show yourself?”

Chu Kuangren stared at the void somewhere in the distance.

A ripple soared through and out walked Linghu Hong from the void. He looked at Chu Kuangren, impressed. “Little guy, today, we are here for your Honorable Teacher. This has got nothing to do with you. If you leave now, you save your life.”

“Are you dumb? Since you’re here for my Honorable Teacher, how does this have nothing to do with me?” Chu Kuangren smirked.

Linghu Hong’s expression turned dark when he heard that. “You ungrateful b*astard!”

Boom!

At this moment, the second heavenly tribulation struck down on Honorable Xuan Qi.

The group of people hastily looked in his direction.

All they saw was how the surge of tribulation was again directed into the ground by the Thundersoother Rod. Linghu Hong and his company were astounded by the sight that they had seen.

“What is this? How can it divert the surge of tribulation?”

“How incredible!”

“No wonder Honorable Xuan Qi dared to attempt ascension. It’s because he has this thing.”

Linghu Hong’s and his crew’s hearts raced as they realized that things had gotten out of their expectations. They had absolutely no idea that there was such a treasure that was used especially for heavenly tribulations!

They had initially planned to attack Honorable Xuan Qi after he was done with the heavenly tribulations, at a state where he would be sapped. However, with this precious treasure, it now seemed that Honorable Xuan Qi would definitely have most of his strength to defeat them.

“Haha, Linghu Hong, bet you guys didn’t see this coming. Your trips to Black Heaven Sect today are destined to be a one-way trip!” Honorable Xuan Qi let out a loud laugh and held onto the Purple Star, bracing himself to first settle off Linghu Hong and his compatriots.

At this moment, Chu Kuangren stepped out in front of him and stopped him. “Honorable Teacher, may I ask you to please reserve your strength for the heavenly tribulations. Just leave these people to me.”

“What?”

Not just Honorable Xuan Qi but even Linghu Hong and the others were stunned.

There were a total of five of them here who were all Honorable Supremes. How dare Chu Kuangren claim to want to deal with the five of them alone?

Who did he think he was?

A Sage?

“Absolute nonsense!” Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries let out a cold jeer. “I shall take your head today to let Sword Prayer City and the whole world witness how this so-called Hundred Sword Spectrum number one title of yours is nothing but a joke!”

The Hundred Swords Spectrum was highly regarded and widely acknowledged amongst the swordsmanship world, but to enlist Chu Kuangren as the top of their list sparked quite a controversy.

Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries was precisely one of the people who were most outspoken at rejecting it!

“Kill!”

Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries attacked first. He let out the first sword strike, and a majestic sword qi came flowing out. It was as if a giant sword, made up of a thousand swords, had been unleashed.

In face of such a strike, Chu Kuangren looked extremely composed. The moment the Descendant Self Sword appeared in his hand, a terrifying Daoist Rhyme burst out!

With a single swing of the sword, the blinding purple sword ray almost engulfed the whole sky. In just a split second, it tore that giant sword figure apart and bashed onto Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries, which sent the highly-esteemed Honorable Swordsman flying out with that one blast!

An enormous amount of sword qi was brutal to Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries’ body, tearing his clothes apart and lacerating numerous sword cuts all over his body. In the blink of an eye, he was turned into a bloodied, calamitous being.

Just one sword strike alone had everyone at the scene staring wide-eyed.

‘Heavily injuring an Honorable Swordsman with just a single sword strike?’

‘What terrifying power is this?’

“I am the Sword Spectrum’s number one, you dare to have an issue with that?”
