1701 Ice And Fire, Grim Reaper Mantis
Three Prodigies of the Heavenly God Leaderboard set up the enchanted boundary within the Galaxy God King Ancient Path to gang up on Chu Kuangren, attempting to break the Heavenly Sword.
The scene excited many and sparked a series of discussions.
"The Prodigies ranked ninth, twelfth, and thirteenth on the Heavenly God Leaderboard had teamed up against the Heavenly Sword? Would he be able to withstand the attack?"
"The Heavenly Sword is powerful, but the three Prodigies are as powerful, especially Mo Wuji. He's one of the top ten monsters!"
"Maybe we can use this opportunity to witness Chu Kuangren's true strength."
Not only the sky-prides and Prodigies but even the great ones of Central Heaven Universe paid extra attention to that particular battle.
The existence of the Heavenly Sword was undoubtedly a threat to the other sky-prides and Prodigies. Until this day, no one had succeeded in forcing him to show his true strength.
Maybe that battle could achieve what the others failed previously.
"Charge!"
Leng Wufeng led the attack. Countless ice shards that contained icy-cold killing intents and frosty winds were hurled at Chu Kuangren.
He ought to cut Chu Kuangren into a million pieces.
"Don't try useless attacks on me."
Chu Kuangren was unfazed by the attack. He pointed his sword hand sign forward and swiped at the incoming ice shard storm.
Sword qi gushed forward, negating the storm into nothing but air.
"Is that all you've got?" Chu Kuangren scoffed scornfully.
Suddenly another figure arrived before him and swung a crimson sword shadow at his neck.
The sword shadow contained a scorching flame with unrivaled power.
It was Chi Longying!
"You're unworthy of wielding a sword before Heaven."
Chu Kuangren did not even try to dodge it. He pointed his sword hand sign at the sword shadow, diverting his sword qi at it.
His finger broke the scorching flame and landed precisely on the sword's blade.
Clank!
The void exploded all of a sudden, causing scorching flames and sword qi to burst into the area and swept over the field.
Still, Chu Kuangren remained unfazed. He did not even flinch.
On the other hand, Chi Longying, with the sword in his hand, sensed a powerful energy coming from his sword, pushing him several meters away.
He looked at Chu Kuangren in shock. "You blocked my sword with your sword hand sign?"
"Sword Dao isn't what you are good at. Why don't you show me your true strength?" Chu Kuangren said.
He could tell that Chi Longying was not good at Sword Dao, and his expertise did not revolve around it as well.
"Hmph! It's still too early!"
Chi Longying cackled as he swung the crimson sword at Chu Kuangren again. Surges of sword qi were launched at Chu Kuangren in succession. Soon, the field was turned into a sea of fire.
While Chu Kuangren was engaged with Chi Longying, Leng Wufeng prepared his next round of attack. He performed multiple mystical hand seals and unleashed a large amount of freezing qi that contained mystical runes.
"Quintuple Frost Dao Art, Star Cracking Transformation."
A large amount of sword qi converged and formed an icy galaxy that crashed toward Chu Kuangren with indomitable might.
Scorching sword qi and the icy galaxy, the two drastically different energies, were hurled at Chu Kuangren.
The power of both attacks shattered the void.
"Trying to defy Heaven with that? What a joke."
Chu Kuangren remained nonchalant at the attack. Both his hands formed the sword hand sign, and a vast amount of sword aura erupted into the field before two powerful sword qi gushed out.
One transformed into the galaxy, while the other transformed into lightning and wind.
Sword, Shining Galaxy!
Sword, Thunder Gale!
Shining Galaxy destroyed the icy galaxy, and Thunder Gale extinguished the sea of flames.
As multiple streams of energy clashed and collided, it formed an area filled with rumbling stray energies.
Chu Kuangren stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the stray energy storm, and not a sliver of energy could touch him. He was like God who was unfazed by mortal matters.
His sword intent swirled and transformed into ten thousand terrains.
Many other sky-prides and Prodigies were in awe when they saw his technique.
"Damn! He's still so calm in front of Chi Longying and Leng Wufeng's attacks! He's too powerful!"
"So this is the legendary Heavenly Sword."
"He looks like he's not using his full strength either."
Back inside the enchanted boundary, Leng Wufeng and Chi Longying exchanged a quick look before they threw themselves at Chu Kuangren.
Leng Wufeng unleashed endless freezing qi from both his palms. The bone-chilling freezing qi could even threaten and immobilize an Arch Gilded Immortal if they were struck.
"Quintuple Frost Art, Quintuple Frost Dao Art!"
Then, Leng Wufeng channeled his energy to the limit, and both his palms turned icy white, freezing even the space around him.
At the same time, Chi Longying channeled his crimson sword's energy to the limit and unleashed a fury of slashes at Chu Kuangren.
The powerful and domineering energy enveloped Chu Kuangren whole.
The ice and fire sandwiched Chu Kuangren in between, forcing him into a seemingly desperate situation.
However, he remained nonchalant and unfazed.
He moved his sword hand sign, channeling his sword qi, and his sword intent transformed into a myriad of forms.
Thousands of forms of sword intent blocked and negated the incoming attacks easily.
His white robes fluttered in the wind as his unrivaled charms were put on full display.
"You two are too weak."
Chu Kuangren pointed one of his sword hand signs at Leng Wufeng's frosty palm and the other to clip Chi Longying's crimson sword.
"Sword, Life-Death Samsara."
As he bellowed, a boundless sword aura erupted from his body.
Leng Wufeng and Chi Longying were pushed more than ten meters away.
Then, Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign to the sky to release the Life-Death and Samsara Arch Gilded Intents.
As the two Arch Gilded Intents merged, a terrifying sword shadow formed and was swung forward.
It left a trail of destruction in the void as it moved forward. Even the enchanted boundary that they were in started to tremble.
Both Leng Wufeng and Chi Longying's eyes widened in fear. They quickly channeled their ultimate moves, the icy palms and the scorching sword, to their limit.
However, they were still too weak to block the Life-Death Samsara attack.
Bang!
The two of them were blasted away with blood spurting from their mouths.
Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign forward again, hurling another slash at them.
It was then that another figure jumped in front of the two and blocked the slash.
Mo Wuji finally made a move.
"You finally ran out of patience," Chu Kuangren said as he looked at Mo Wuji, who released his powerful aura into the area.
It felt indomitable, ruthless, and dominating!
Then, the energy formed a violent beast from the barrens behind him.
"It's Mo Wuji's Barren Arch Gilded Immortal!" someone cried.
The Barren Arch Gilded Immortal was the Arch Gilded Intent Mo Wuji comprehended. It was feared because it could shape into some of the ancient mystical beasts of the Central Heaven Universe.
It was also why he was able to secure ninth place on the Heavenly God Leaderboard.
"Heavenly Sword, have a taste of my Grim Reaper Mantis!" Mo Wuji chuckled.
His Arch Gilded Intent surged and formed the image of a huge mantis.
The mantis released razor-sharp energy of death!
The blade-like arms of the mantis had runes intertwining on the surface, making it terrifying.
It was one of the ancient mystical beasts of the Central Heaven Universe, the Grim Reaper Mantis.
"Slash!" Mo Wuji bellowed.
The Grim Reaper Mantis behind him swung both its robust arms at Chu Kuangren, and terrifying blade energy gushed forward like mountains crashing.
"Sword, Berserking Torment!"
As Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign at the mantis' arms, a berserking intent erupted from his body.
Endless sword qi surged out.
It was one of the techniques contained in the Blade of Zhou, but when used by Chu Kuangren, it felt more natural and unmatched in power.
