1684 Who Is He? Bounty, Pirates Gathering
It was Starlight Destruction, a new sword technique that Chu Kuangren developed by fusing his sword qi with the Galaxy Arch Gilded Intent.
As the slash went forward, the glittering galaxy gushed forward, painting a beautiful but grand trail of stars in its wake. It negated all the Immortal Techniques and divine abilities and destroyed the warships one after another.
"How?"
"What sword technique is that?!"
Mo Bufan and his men were horrified and stunned beyond words.
They were the first to face the slash, and when the grand sword qi befell them, they disintegrated into dust without even making a sound.
The might of the slash was beyond comprehension.
The other warships of the Dao King Tribe immediately turned away and fled with full speed after seeing their leader die.
Feng Qingxue, too, witnessed the powerful slash and could not believe what she saw. She looked at Chu Kuangren with widened eyes and asked, "W-Who are you?"
He killed the thirty-seventh-ranked Prodigy on the Heavenly God Leaderboard with one slash. Even the warships that Mo Bufan's men steered could not escape the sword qi's might.
More importantly, Chu Kuangren was not using his full strength. He was not even serious about the attack.
"Who I am is not important. The important thing is that you give me the Black Hole Particle," Chu Kuangren said.
Feng Qingxue kept her promise and gave Chu Kuangren the Black Hole Particle.
Since she got two from the black hole, she could give one to Chu Kuangren.
"Great. You can leave now," Chu Kuangren said after he got the Black Hole Particle.
Then, he returned to his ship to prepare for a closed-door meditation to gain insights into the Black Hole Arch Gilded Intent.
"Who is he…" Feng Qingxue muttered.
…
On the other hand, the warships that escaped the galactic slash stopped somewhere in space.
"It's so scary! What was with that attack? What kind of power is that?" asked one of the cultivators who had just escaped death.
"Only a handful of Prodigies among the younger generation possess the power to kill Young Master Mo, and they're all the top twenty on the Heavenly God Leaderboard.
"Based on what I know, a few of them use a sword, and I know all of them. I'm sure they were not who we saw back there," said another cultivator.
"There's one more person you missed out… It's the Heavenly Sword from the Spiritual Sword Tribe. He's been on the rise lately," said an elderly with a serious look.
The Heavenly Sword?
His words made the others tremble.
They were not strangers to the name. In fact, they were quite familiar with it.
The name Heavenly Sword stirred up quite the commotion in Central Heaven Universe. However, none of them would expect to run into him while chasing Feng Qingxue.
"The Heavenly Sword's power is indeed scary."
"I heard he killed the twenty-first-ranked Leng Jiufeng with ease. It seems like the rumors are true."
"Hmph! I don't care who he is. This won't end well for him!"
A grim look flashed in one of the cultivators' eyes. "We should report this to the Tribe Leader as soon as possible. Even if he's the Heavenly Sword, we will break him for offending the Dao King Tribe."
"Yes…"
A while later, the news of the Heavenly Sword killing Mo Bufan from the Dao King Tribe spread across the universe.
The Ancient King Tribe was infuriated about their Prodigy's death. Mo Bufan was not the strongest, but he was a decent combatant within the tribe.
The arrogant Dao King Tribe would not let that end easily after losing one of their decent Prodigies, so they immediately placed a bounty on Chu Kuangren and company.
Whoever killed the Heavenly Sword would be heavily rewarded by the Dao King Tribe.
Millions of Immortal Crystals and even Source Supreme Treasures were part of the bounty reward!
The Dao King Tribe controlled half of the space pirates in the Central Heaven Universe, and after the bounty was released, their affiliated space pirates were the ones who made the first move.
The entire universe was on the move, and those who were capable wanted to locate the Heavenly Sword for the bounty.
"The Heavenly Sword is really audacious. I can't believe he had the guts to provoke the Dao King Tribe! Does he really think the Spiritual Sword Tribe is so strong that he can do whatever he wants?"
"The Spiritual Sword Tribe is indeed strong, but they're no longer the King Tribe they used to be. If not for the Sword God King, the tribe would've been devoured by other tribes. The Dao King Tribe is one of the oldest King Tribes in this universe. If a war breaks out between them, the Spiritual Sword Tribe would definitely be in a disadvantageous position."
"The Sword God King is still alive, so the top experts of the Dao King Tribe won't start a war that easily. However, I can't say the same for others."
"Yeah. Mo Wuji of the Dao King Tribe is known as Dao King Junior, and he's also a ninth-ranked monster on the Heavenly God Leaderboard. If he's involved, the Heavenly Sword might finally face a challenge."
"Interesting."
Chu Kuangren was not bothered by what happened in the universe.
He was concentrating on absorbing the Black Hole Particle in his ship and gaining insights into the Black Hole Arch Gilded Intent.
With the Black Hole Celestial Demon Physique, gaining insights into the Black Hole Arch Gilded Intent by absorbing the Black Hole Particle was easily done.
…
"He's the Heavenly Sword?!"
When Feng Qingxue finally received the news, she looked at the warship further away in shock.
She had not left yet.
It was not because Chu Kuangren's words meant no threats to her but because they were heading toward the same destination — the Galaxy God King Ancient Path!
"Ling Fei, are you sure it's okay for Feng Qingxue to follow us?" Han Xingyu said as she glanced at the warship tailing them.
"Since she's also heading to the Galaxy God King Ancient Path, there shouldn't be a problem. The Feng clan and Spiritual Sword Tribe are on good terms, so we shouldn't be that hard on her," Ling Fei said helplessly.
That was the reason why Feng Qingxue shamelessly followed them.
At that moment, Feng Qingxue's ship came closer again.
"Ling Fei, has the Heavenly Sword come out yet?"
"Not yet," Ling Fei said with a shake of his head.
"I heard the Dao King Tribe placed a bounty on the Heavenly Sword. Please inform him to be careful," Feng Qingxue said.
"If he didn't save you, he wouldn't be hunted either," Han Xingyu grumbled.
She then glanced at the room where Chu Kuangren was cultivating.
Based on her time spent with him, she knew Chu Kuangren would not care even if she informed him about the bounty.
After all, why would the prestigious Heavenly Sword be afraid of some bounty?
"Right. Ling Fei, do you feel anything strange?"
Feng Qingxue was not bothered by Han Xingyu's cold attitude either. On the contrary, she was more bothered by the unusual silence in the airspace.
"Yeah, it's a little too quiet." Ling Fei found it strange as well.
The Dao King Tribe had placed a bounty on Chu Kuangren, yet no one showed up.
Moreover, despite traveling across the boundless space, they did not conceal their whereabouts as well.
With the Dao King Tribe's influence, those pirates should be able to easily spot one tiny warship in space.
Controlling half the space pirates in the universe was not just for decorations, yet the four of them were cruising smoothly.
"Let's be careful," Ling Fei said.
Several lightyears away, warships gathered into an armada of ten thousand like they were waiting for something.
The leading space pirates were powerful and notorious figures, whose names could easily scare people away.
Now, all the notorious space pirates had gathered together peacefully without any conflicts.
It seemed like they were preparing for something, or rather, preparing to target someone.
