Chapter 210: Sage Killer Chu Kuangren, The Murong Clan’s Second Forefather Gives In, Anyone Else?
“Chu Kuangren! Are you not going to back down?”
The Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather yelled coldly.
“Even if I won’t, what can you possibly do about it?” Chu Kuangren replied.
“Don’t think we can’t break open your sword formation!”
“Try me.”
The Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather’s expression changed drastically. He then gritted his teeth and released an overwhelming burst of aura. His Sage Daoist Rhyme manifested around him, forming a huge purplish-blue sword shadow!
Countless surges of sharp intent that could tear through the void emanated.
“I shall tear through this formation!”
With a huge sword shadow in hand, the Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather attempted to escape from the formation!
He brutally let out a violent strike onto the sword formation. As the purplish-blue sword shadow collided with the sword qi of the sword formation, multiple terrifying explosions rang out.
The Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather relied on his sword qi to break down the sword formation, but the surrounding sword qi kept landing on him. Although he had the body of a Sage, even he sustained multiple cuts, and he was eventually covered with injuries.
However, he ignored that as he swore he had to break out from the sword formation!
Boom!
Finally, after using all his strength at the expense of sustaining a body full of cuts and wounds, the Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather tore open a hole through the sword formation!
“Chu Kuangren! Your time of death has come!”
The Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather dashed towards Chu Kuangren. His sword shadow may have depleted and disappeared, but his figure still rushed towards his opponent like a meteor.
The longsword in his hand was filled with a boundless poise!
Sage Daoist Rhyme surrounded his body as he locked his vital force onto Chu Kuangren!
“Human Mountain Stamp!”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and struck out a palm attack. However, the majestic Godly Mountain penetrated the Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather’s brave attack!
Like a comet, the sword ray landed on Chu Kuangren’s body and mercilessly pierced through his chest, its barrage of sword qi brutally damaging the insides of his body.
A smug look lit up on the Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather’s face.
“I did it!”
The remaining cultivators of the Murong clan were delighted as well.
That madman[1] was finally killed.
“Yes, we finally succeeded!”
However, a smile was seen on Chu Kuangren’s face instead.
Before the Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather could react in time, a black chain with a hook flew out from Chu Kuangren’s body.
“Not good!”
The Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather wanted to hide at that moment.
Yet because his hand was firmly grabbed by Chu Kuangren at that time, he could only watch the Soul Retriever enter his body. A grim-looking qi soon spread throughout his body, and even a Sage like him went stiff.
After that, he could feel that his consciousness was being stripped away…
His soul was being pulled out of his body!
“How’s that possible!”
The cultivators of the Murong clan were shocked to their core.
Their Fourth Forefather’s attack had clearly hit Chu Kuangren!
That violent surge of sword qi and Daoist Rhyme should have already torn his limbs and bones to shreds and shattered all his internal organs in an instant!
‘Why is he still alive!’
“Wow, that attack was quite painful!”
Chu Kuangren said with a smirk on his face. He then grabbed the sword that was struck through his chest and pulled it out forcefully. A small spurt of blood spewed out.
The bloodied hole in his chest that was left by the sword, along with the numerous cuts and injuries on his body, then recovered at an extremely fast speed.
‘He has an Immortal Body!’
“What kind of monster are you?”
Being held immobile by the Soul Retriever, the astral form of Murong Clan’s Fourth Forefather could not help but tremble upon witnessing that scene.
Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather knew about the various healing techniques throughout all his years of cultivation. However, Chu Kuangren’s body and internal organs were supposed to be shattered by the barrage of sword qi the moment he was hit by that attack.
Never had the Murong Clan’s Fourth Forefather ever encountered such a healing technique that could heal someone at such a rapid rate and under such a condition as well!
“If not for my breakthrough to the Honorable Realm which raised my Immortal Body to its third stage, I’m afraid that this battle would’ve been slightly dangerous for me. ”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
The Immortal Body’s third stage… A shattered body would not die!
The Immortal Body in this realm was extremely terrifying as nothing would harm the body at all. Even if his limbs and head were chopped off, or even if his brain was shattered into countless pieces, Chu Kuangren could still recover at a very fast rate.
Mashed and pummelled internal organs?
Shattered heart?
These were only but a small matter. They could not lead to his death at all!
Unless a powerful force exploded him up and shattered his body into specks of dust, he would still come back to life no matter what.
However, it was a shame that the Murong Clan’s Fourth Forefather did not possess such ability!
Chu Kuangren looked at the Murong clan’s Fourth Forefather, raised his hand, and absorbed his opponent’s body into the Avarice dimension. Having consumed the blood and flesh essence of a Sage’s body, his spiritual power soon recovered at an alarming rate, and it even seemed larger now.
“One of the Murong clan’s two Sages has died.”
Chu Kuangren sneered.
He channeled his spiritual energy into the Soul Retriever before he violently tugged it, unleashing a grim energy that targeted souls!
The soul of the Murong Clan’s Fourth Forefather could not bear the pain as he let out a heart-piercing howl. Then, his soul was shattered into a million pieces, dispersed into the air!
On this day, Chu Kuangren had killed a Sage!
The skies started to rumble, and a jolt of thunder erupted.
Now that the Firmament Star was in the Great Dharma Emergence, this was the only transformation that would happen as a result of a Sage’s death, and not even a drop of blood-colored rain was seen.
However, that did not stop everyone from being stunned.
That person was a Sage after all!
A peerless existence among the hundreds of millions of beings in this world!
The cultivators of the Murong clan and Ling clan had on a terrified expression.
“The Sage… The Sage is dead!”
“By the heavens, he just killed a Sage.”
“Chu Kuangren, Chu Kuangren killed a Sage!”
Every cultivator at the scene looked at Chu Kuangren and lost the will to fight. They were not his match at all!
Even the Murong Clan’s Second Forefather was horrified as well.
‘A Sage… has died.’
‘Chu Kuangren can kill a Sage!’
Up until now, the high and mighty Murong clan’s Second Forefather, who had regarded all beings below him as ants, finally felt the threat of death for the first time.
At that moment, he became afraid of that young man who was not even at the age of twenty.
It was especially when his opponent’s gaze landed on him. The Murong clan’s Second Forefather could not help but shiver with fear as a glint of panic flashed across his eyes.
“Brother Chu, let’s discuss this!”
“From what I know, we weren’t the ones who crippled Murong Xuan. The ones who did it are from the Blackstain Plumes. They have no relation to us at all!”
The Murong clan’s Second Forefather said loudly, already giving in to Chu Kuangren’s wrath.
“Oh, the Blackstain Plumes.”
Chu Kuangren raised his arm and randomly grabbed a disciple of the Murong clan towards him. He asked indifferently, “What are the Blackstain Plumes?”
“The Blackstain Plumes is an assassin cell in the Black Warrior domain…” That disciple had no intention of resisting before Chu Kuangren, so he trembled while explaining to Chu Kuangren every piece of information about the Blackstain Plumes.
Chu Kuangren chuckled. “An assassin cell huh? So you’re telling me that a good-for-nothing assassin cell, who’s all for profits before everything else, came and harmed Murong Xuan out of nowhere? Do I look like a fool to you? Who’s the one that hired them behind the scenes!”
“Brother Chu, if I tell you who they are, you must let this matter end now!” The Murong Clan’s Second Forefather gritted his teeth and demanded.
“Do you think that you have the right to negotiate with me now? If you don’t tell me, I’ll continue with the killing, and when that happens, I don’t believe no one will tell me!”
“It’s the Ling clan!”
The Murong clan’s Second Forefather said.
Since the whole Murong clan was under his control, he was very well aware of the things that happened to Murong Xuan, but he always ignored it.
He did not expect that it would lead to such a big disaster for the whole clan!
His hatred towards the Ling clan had peaked during that time.
Among the crowd, the aristocratic-looking lady who stood beside the Murong clan’s head suddenly turned pale. “Sage of the Murong clan, how can you do this to me!”
Hum…
A sword ray flashed past!
That woman from the Ling clan was instantly cut in half!
“Was there anyone else besides her?”
“No.”
“What about Murong Yu then? It was his mother who hired the assassins after all, so I wonder, does he really not know about this? Or perhaps, the person who hired the assassins was not the woman of the Ling clan, but her dear precious son instead?” Chu Kuangren sneered.
Before he killed her just now, he had already identified the woman of the Ling clan with his Eye of Revelation.
So he naturally knew about Murong Yu’s relationship with the Ling clan by then.
