2166 The Difference Between Others and the First, Killing Dugu Bubai, Tianshen Chang Attacks

The powerful sword qi locked onto Chu Kuangren. It tore open a massive crack in the void, and the water from the lake splashed everywhere.

Chu Kuangren pointed his sword hand sign forward and slashed it at the incoming sword qi.

"Bang!"

The sword qi shattered and dispersed on the spot.

Everyone traced the source of the sword qi and saw a man armed with a sword standing on one of the mountains. 

He stood tall and firm like a sword and even had many sword qi surrounding him.

His keen eyes were locked on Chu Kuangren with strong killing intentions.

"It's him, Dugu Bubai!"

"This sword qi's strength… No wonder he's ranked seventh place on the Primordial Leaderboard."

Everyone was surprised by Dugu Bubai's entrance.

Dugu Bubai said coldly, "You! You're the one who killed my brother, Dugu Kong!"

Everyone was even more surprised.

"Chu Kuangren has beef with him." 

"No wonder his sword qi is so intense!"

"We're in for a good show!"

Dugu Bubai flashed and appeared before Chu Kuangren. His black sword was buzzing, releasing intense killing intents.

Chu Kuangren tilted his head, confused at Dugu Bubai's claims.

"Dugu Kong? Who is that? Do I know him?"

"Don't try to deny it! I saw the sword qi on my brother's body, and it's exactly the same as yours! If not you, who else could it be?"

The Heavenly Grandmaster then went over to Chu Kuangren and whispered, "Brother Chu, the one you killed to save me, that's Dugu KOng."

Only then was Chu Kuangren struck with realization.

"Oh! It's him. Yeah, I killed him." Chu Kuangren nodded.

"In that case, you shall pay with your life!" Dugu Bubai was infuriated by Chu Kuangren's nonchalance.

He attacked with his strongest skill.

The sword in his hand spun and released frosty killing intents.

"Holy Spirit Sword Art, Fifteenth Sword!"

Dugu Bubai slashed his sword forward.

The Holy Spirit Sword Art was a supreme sword technique from the Sword Universe, and it was divided into twenty-three forms. 

Dugu Kong had only cultivated up to the Thirteenth Sword, but Dugu Bubai had cultivated up to the Twenty-first.

The Fifteenth Sword's sword qi soared across the air in the shape of a crescent moon.

However, Chu Kuangren simply pointed at the incoming attack, and the sword qi disintegrated into countless light particles. It did not even scratch him.

The scene shocked everyone else, including Tianshen Chang and Elder Dragon Chengtao.

"I wouldn't dare to take the hit so casually either. The first on the Primordial Leaderboard is indeed something else," Tianshen Chang said with a grim look. Deep down, he was starting to feel uneasy.

"You want to kill me to avenge your brother, while you guys want the Grand Dao Heart. Why don't you guys come at me together?" Chu Kuangren asked.

He wanted to challenge everyone at the scene.

"What? He's so arrogant!"

"Does he know what he's talking about?"

Everyone felt challenged by Chu Kuangren's arrogance.

Elder Dragon Chengtao scoffed and said, "First on the Primordial Leaderboard, it seems like you've gotten ahead of yourself. If so, I will be the one who will crush your delusion!"

A domineering draconic aura erupted from him, crushing the void around him.

"Dragon King Claw!"

The golden Primordial energy transformed into a golden dragon claw with mystical runes surrounding it.

When Elder Dragon Chengtao attacked, Dugu Bubai joined the fray as well.

Based on his first attack, he knew Chu Kuangren was a lot stronger than him, and fighting Chu Kuangren alone would not be wise.

Therefore, he teamed up with the others to attack. 

"Holy Spirit Sword Art, Nineteenth Sword!"

"Kaboom!"

The vast sword qi converged into a massive sword shadow.

As it struck forward, it left a black trail in its wake.

Other than Elder Dragon Chengtao and Dugu Bubai, the other cultivators also targeted Chu Kuangren for the sake of the Grand Dao Heart.

Everyone attacked with their Immortal Techniques and divine abilities.

It was like a storm crashing down at Chu Kuangren.

With the sword shadow and the Dragon King Claw in the lead, a sea of energy crashed toward Chu Kuangren.

The massive power shocked the Heavenly Grandmaster, Wahuang, and Fuxi.

Not even a Grand Dao Supreme Saint could escape unscathed from that.

"Hmph. It's like a fireworks show," Chu Kuangren said with a chuckle as the colorful sea of energy came crashing down on him.

He pointed his sword hand sign forward. 

A surge of sword qi gathered at the tip of his finger and started glimmering.

Then, mystical energy started to expand into the void. As though something disrupted the void or even caused it to collapse, the void trembled like it was afraid.

When he unleashed the attack, the sword qi he released distorted the void, crushed it, and left a massive black crack in the middle of the sky. It was like he had slashed the realm in half.

The black crack spread and devoured all the incoming attacks.

Some of the cultivators failed to react in time, and the void sword qi devoured them. As they fell into the distorted space, they disintegrated into countless particles. 

"What?"

"What kind of sword qi is that?"

Terrified, the others retreated immediately.

In the end, only Elder Dragon Chengtao, Dugu Bubai, and a few who ranked top thirty on the Primordial Leaderboard survived. 

All the others were devoured.

The survivors looked at the pitch-black crack in the void with nothing but fear.

Dugu Bubai gulped nervously.

Before he fought Chu Kuangren, he truly believed that even if Chu Kuangren was stronger, the difference in strength would not be too huge since they were both top ten on the Primordial Leaderboard.

Now, he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.

They were both ranked top ten on the Primordial Leaderboard, but the one ranked first was ridiculously powerful.

The difference in strength was heaven and earth apart.

"You people are disappointing. Is this the strength of the top ten on the Primordial Leaderboard?" Chu Kuangren shook his head.

In the next second, his figure disappeared.

He reappeared before Dugu Bubai.

Dugu Bubai was mortified. He roared anxiously and slashed his black sword forward.

"Twenty-first Sword!"

The extreme sword ray shone across the realm, but Chu Kuangren countered with a simple punch.

The fist energy from his punch could tear the realm apart.

"Kaboom!"

The fist energy crushed the sword ray.

Dugu Bubai's body exploded on the spot, and the Dao in his body was almost destroyed.

He was known to be undefeated, but in front of Chu Kuangren, he could not even last a hit.

"Next."

Chu Kuangren locked onto the next target.

He pointed his sword hand sign and shot more sword qi forward.

The unlucky cultivator did not even get to react before he exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"Damn it! Beast King Roar!" Bigu roared.

His body rapidly enlarged and transformed into a massive behemoth. The roar he released impacted not only the earth but the sky as well.

"You're noisy."

Chu Kuangren punched forward.

The soundwaves from the roar were intercepted by the fist energy and crushed.

When the behemoth was punched in the chest, golden runes appeared on his chest surface, seemingly trying to hold back Chu Kuangren's fist energy.

However, the powerful rebound force caused his chest to collapse, and blood gushed out like a geyser.

"Chu Kuangren, don't be too confident!"

Following someone's shout, a powerful pillar of white Immortal Sparks, containing a massive amount of Daoist laws, was shot at Chu Kuangren.

It penetrated even the void.

It was the Celestial Divine Light!

Tianshen Chang, second only to Chu Kuangren on the Primordial Leaderboard, had attacked.
