Chapter 148: Who Gave You Such Courage To Speak Like That, Suppressing Lei Mingtian
Just as Young Emperor Lei Mingtian was behaving in an arrogant and domineering manner.
In the sky, a Fairy boat had arrived at the Whitelock Mountain, and descending it was a man and woman, both possessing an elegant and dignified appearance.
At the sight of those two, the expressions of Gu Changge and the other Young Emperors changed slightly. All of them gazed at the two approaching figures with a look of horror in their eyes.
Many cultivators had noticed the scene which was unfolding before them.
Everyone was also in shock as well.
Gu Change, Ao Chang, and the others were fearful towards Lei Mingtian’s tyrannical behavior, but with this incoming figure, they were frightened.
‘My God, who the hell is this person anyway?’
Everyone in the crowd was surprised by what they saw.
However, some among the crowd had already identified the figure.
“It’s him, the Black Heaven Sect’s Elder Senior Brother, Chu Kuangren!”
The crowd went into an uproar at those words.
Despite having been in three-years of closed-doors meditation, news of Chu Kuangren defeating multiple Young Emperors at once the moment he came out had long spread.
Coupled with the news that Chu Kuangren had obtained a Sword Soul from the Sword Prayer City which allowed him to be ranked first in the Hundred Swords Spectrum, he now stood in the limelight among the other Azure Dragon Domain news.
“After three years, this guy finally appears.”
“I’ve never believed it when people commented on how he had a fairy-like appearance. But now that I’ve seen him in real life, the rumors are indeed true. His looks are just too extraordinary.”
“Since Chu Kuangren is here, things are going to get much more interesting now.”
Even the other sky-prides’ protectors could not help but feel shocked when they saw Chu Kuangren. They could vaguely feel a sense of danger and threat lingering around that person.
“He is even more terrifying now compared to three years ago.”
“With three years of closed-door meditation, I wonder how strong is he now?”
Numerous protectors thought to themselves.
Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu arrived before everyone in the crowd and greeted them with a smile. “Greetings fellow Daoists.”
It was a day and night difference compared to Lei Mingtian’s domineering entrance. Chu Kuangren came across as a very polite person and in addition to his already good-looking appearance, it built a good impression among many people. A few female cultivators were even mesmerized because of this.
“Why’s the difference between those two so drastic? Aren’t they both sky-prides as well? Look at how well-behaved Chu Kuangren is, unlike a certain someone’s rude behavior.”
“I agree, it’s quite a rare sight indeed.”
“Holy hell, not only is Chu Kuangren good looking, but he has a polite air to him as well. Damn, this guy has won me over already.”
“Greetings Brother Chu.”
“I’ve been a long-time fan of yours, and seeing you today, I must say that your presence lives up to your reputation. It is very admirable.”
One by one, everyone in the crowd greeted Chu Kuangren in an extremely friendly manner.
Meanwhile, someone else was not a big fan of such comparisons.
Lei Mingtian’s entrance was so domineering and rude that it made everyone displeased with him; whereas Chu Kuangren was like a soothing spring breeze that everyone liked.
“So you’re Chu Kuangren?” Lei Mingtian frowned and glared at Chu Kuangren as he asked with a slight chill in his tone.
Slightly puzzled, Chu Kuangren replied, “Yup, that’s me.”
“So you’re the one who killed the Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Young Emperor back then. Although that Young Emperor wasn’t some big shot, he’s still a rare and talented genius of the Thunder Falcon Tribe. And for that, you’ll have to pay!”
Lei Mingtian replied harshly.
After awakening from his slumber, he had gained a general understanding of the situation in the Thunder Falcon Tribe so he knew the things that Chu Kuangren had done to them.
Chu Kuangren suddenly had a realization upon hearing Lei Mingtian’s words. He chuckled and said, “So you’re from the Thunder Falcon Tribe? That explains the stench I’m picking up in the air. It’s coming from an ugly-haired beast.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard that.
No one had expected that Chu Kuangren would offend Lei Mingtian the moment he spoke. Not only that but he even insulted the whole Thunder Falcon Tribe as well.
What happened to the handsome and unmatched beauty?
Ao Chang, Lin Batian, and the other sky-prides were not surprised in the slightest. They already expected something like that to happen.
“Soft? Talented and polite gentleman? Hmph, it’s all an illusion. The moment that guy gets crazy, no one can ever hope to match him.”
Lin Batian mumbled softly.
“Since Lei Mingtian really wants to provoke that crazy man, he’ll have trouble on his hands now.” Yuanhong sighed as he shook his head and gazed at Lei Mingtian with pity in his eyes.
All of them were sky-prides who had fought Chu Kuangren before, so more than anyone, they understood how strong that person truly was.
Undoubtedly, Lei Mingtian was quite strong himself as well but in their eyes, he could never hope to compare with Chu Kuangren. He might not even be on the same level as Chu Kuangren.
“You shall die!” Lei Mingtian’s face darkened before his figure turned into a flash of lightning and appeared before Chu Kuangren in a blink of an eye.
His speed was so fast that only a few in the crowd could react in time.
All they saw was Lei Mingtian’s punch. Jolts of lightning pulsed between his fingers as launched his attack towards Chu Kuangren’s chest.
The moment his punch went through Chu Kuangren’s body, Lei Mingtian’s face lit up in delight. “You’re nothing but a… Wait, what?”
Before he could even bring up a smile, Lei Mingtian realized that the Chu Kuangren that he had hit did not feel real at all.
Chu Kuangren then disappeared.
“An afterimage?”
“He has such incredible speed!”
Lei Mingtian was secretly shocked. He then activated his spiritual thoughts to search for Chu Kuangren, not noticing that his opponent was already behind his back.
Surges of lightning sparked around Lei Mingtian’s body before he turned into a flash of lightning once again.
“Your speed is not bad.” Chu Kuangren said as he activated the Phantom Light Strike Technique.
The onlooking crowd could only make out two streams of light that constantly collided in the air, and terrifying busts of shockwaves would break out every time they clashed.
Both of their speeds were just too fast.
Even an Honorable could barely make out their blurred figures in the air.
Boom!
At that point, a stream of light was smashed down from the air, forming an enormous crater as it landed on the ground and the surrounding cultivators quickly evaded it.
After taking a closer look, everyone realized that Lei Mingtian was the one lying in the crater. His hair was in a mess and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. Enraged, his reddened eyes glared at Chu Kuangren who was levitating in mid-air.
Meanwhile, his opponent was in mid-air fiddling with his fingers. Some hints of Human Mountain Daoist Rhyme were still emanating between his fingertips.
It was obvious that Lei Mingtian had lost the battle.
“What did you say just now? Something about making me pay? I really am curious. Who gave you the courage to spew those words before me?” Chu Kuangren lowered his arms as he gazed down at Lei Mingtian who was lying on the ground covered in dirt and dust.
Everyone noticed a gorgeous and extremely pure white sword hanging from Chu Kuangren’s waist.
They knew that Chu Kuangren was an expert in the sword Dao. The Descendant Self Sword he had was a divine blade that was recently assimilated by a Sword Soul.
However, he had already managed to suppress Lei Mingtian without even unsheathing his sword. One could only imagine how strong Chu Kuangren would be when he drew that blade.
“Chu Kuangren!” Lei Mingtian gritted his teeth and the power of thunder that sparked on his body started to grow increasingly violent. His whole figure seemed like it was enveloped in a giant ball of lightning.
Boom!
A horrifying burst of Lightning-based Daoist Rhyme erupted in an instant, forming into a thick thunder pillar that blasted out as lines of mysterious runes swirled around.
“Easy peasy.” Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and in one slap, he unleashed a terrifying Human Mountain power towards the incoming thunder pillar, shattering it the moment it made contact.
Following that, Chu Kuangren pressed his palm down. Overbearing amounts of Earth Qi erupted and formed into an Ancient Godly Mountain that came down crashing upon Lei Mingtian.
The mighty Human Mountain power locked onto Lei Mingtian, allowing him no chance to escape at all.
Faced against that terrifying attack, Lei Mingtian tried his best to defend himself by continuously shooting violent surges of lightning towards the incoming Ancient Godly Mountain.
Even so, the Ancient Godly Mountain was unyielding as it fell and crushed Lei Mingtian flat onto the ground, cracking all the bones in his body while he bled profusely.
