Chapter 61: I Desire The Body Of A Saint, Even If I Must Break An Arm
On the Daoist grounds, chaos broke out amongst the sky-pride sages.
Horrific and violent Daoist Rhymes swept across and flooded the grounds.
“D*mn it! There’s no end to a fight like this!” Lei Ao frowned as he repelled the White Lotus Maiden Sage with his fist.
Just as the others were prepared to continue fighting, Lei Ao bellowed loudly.
“STOP!”
“Oh? Is the ever so dignified Young Master afraid now?” Nangong Huang laughed.
“Hmph, fools. Continuing to fight like this is just a waste of time. Let’s all take a step back. I shall take the Luminous Moon Sage’s head and leave the rest to all of you,” Lei Ao proclaimed.
The White Lotus Maiden Sage looked at him, skeptical of his words.
Lei Ao added coldly, “This is the most I’m willing to concede. If you wish to continue the fight, don’t think that you’ll be getting a break any time soon!”
“Fine! In that case, I want the heart!”
Gu Changge nodded. “I want the bones and parts of its flesh and blood.”
“We’ll take the rest of the Luminous Moon Sage’s internal organs,” the School of White Lotus’s Bachelor Sage said monotonously.
Nangong Huang frowned slightly. “Isn’t this too much? You’ve all taken everything. What is the Black Heaven Sect supposed to take?”
“Hmph, it’s because of our generosity that you get to have a portion of its flesh and blood, but you’re trying to take advantage of it?” the White Lotus Bachelor Sage responded curtly. He seemed dissatisfied with the Black Heaven Sect’s people.
The rest did not stop the argument, but Gu Changge spoke bluntly instead, “This is a decision that we’ve all agreed on. Do you have any objections?”
“Wait, I’ve changed my mind. Other than the head, I also want a portion of the flesh and blood that will be given to the Black Heaven Sect!” Lei Ao suddenly proclaimed.
Nangong Huang paled.
Everyone was ganged up on Lei Ao earlier, but now the tables had turned; everyone was suddenly turning their backs against the Black Heaven Sect.
Nangong Huang was painfully aware of the reason.
“You’re all cowards who dare not fight my masters face to face. Is this your way of restoring your pitiful dignity? By bullying us?”
“HA! Your masters aren’t even worthy of being our servants!”
As if some of their inner thought bubbles had burst, their faces darkened.
“Presumptuous!” Lei Ao bellowed and upon releasing a punch, the power of violent thunder surged.
Nangong Huang tried to resist the blow by grabbing onto his sword but he was still blown away with fine electrical sparks pulsing within his body. It was a hard blow.
“Nangong!” Murong Xuan instantly rushed out in anger to strike back, but Nangong Huang stopped him.
“You’re not his opponent. Stand back!” Nangong Huang said in a low voice.
“F*ck!”
Murong Xuan and a few others were so angry that their blood vessels were about to pop. However, they were also aware that fighting now would bring more harm than good.
The remaining sky-prides of the sage orthodoxy looked at Murong Xuan and company mockingly.
These few days, Chu Kuangren had been crushing them so badly that they could not catch a break, hence they were much more comfortable in this position.
“Ha, did you think that all of you in the Black Heaven Sect were like Chu Kuangren? How funny.” The White Lotus Bachelor Sage sneered as his lips curled up mockingly.
The White Lotus Maiden Sage frowned beside him. “Sir Bachelor, your intolerance is too obvious. Do you hold a grudge against the Black Heaven Sect?”
“Not at all. It just slightly rubs me the wrong way.”
“If Chu Kuangren rubs you the wrong way, you can go to him to settle the score. It’s meaningless to bully his disciples here. It’ll merely make you look like a coward.”
The White Lotus Maiden Sage stated monotonously. In the School of White Lotus, Maiden Sages were a rank higher than Bachelor Sages. Although there could be multiple Bachelor Sages, there could only be one Maiden Sage.
That was why when the Maiden Sage reprimanded the Bachelor Sage, his face went red with rage but dared not talk back to her. Instead, it just made him hate Chu Kuangren even more.
“Alright, now that the nuisance is out of the way, I’ll be taking the sage’s brain now.” Lei Ao walked towards the corpse with a sword.
The sky-prides could not help but sigh and shake their heads.
“You live as a dignified sage, only to have your body cut up in pieces after your death. How pitiful.”
“Yeah… No matter how strong you were when you lived, you’re nothing more than a corpse after you die.”
“To see the body of a sage is like a rare treasure for cultivators. We wouldn’t miss it if we could help it.”
Lei Ao approached the sage’s corpse with a blade in hand, smirking. “Oh esteemed sage, do forgive me.”
However, his words did not match his actions as he cut the head off in one swift movement.
There was no hesitation.
Just as the body of the sage was about to be damaged, a purple sword ray entered the battlefield in a flash.
The sword ray first struck Lei Ao’s blade before it shattered it on the spot and Lei Ao was sent flying from the impact.
“This sword ray… It’s you!” Recognizing it, Lei Ao turned to the source of the ray.
The others followed suit but with various expressions.
Gu Changge, the White Lotus Bachelor Sage, and Lei Ao had a dark expression on them while the White Lotus Maiden Sage was curious; though Nangong Huang and company were ecstatic.
“Elder Senior Brother!!”
The man was Chu Kuangren!
Wearing a white robe, Chu Kuangren had black hair that stopped at his waist. He exuded an immortal-like presence and a Daoist Rhyme aura when he defeated Lei Ao with his sword ray.
Everyone was stunned by his arrival, especially Lei Ao.
He felt that Chu Kuangren had gotten stronger!
“To be able to walk out of the Gray Mist alive, you must have more lives than a cat,” Lei Ao said coldly.
Chu Kuangren responded emotionlessly, “Why would I die when you’re not dead yet, you b*stard? The Black Heaven Sect will be taking the sage’s corpse.”
“You want it all?” Lei Ao spat.
“Indeed.”
“Hilarious. Chu Kuangren, we could have given you a share now that you’re here, but to take it all for yourself is sheer arrogance! All the sky-prides here are not just for show!”
The White Lotus Bachelor Sage dashed forward and her momentum increased suddenly.
Yuanhong and Gu Changge did not look happy either.
“Heh, didn’t you say that I declared war on the world? If it’s a war you want, war is what you shall get!” Chu Kuangren refused to budge.
The Luminous Moon Sage had killed the Black Light Sage with him, and for that, he was deeply grateful, so he was not going to sit by and watch other people destroy the Luminous Moon Sage’s body.
“Great! Fantastic! Let’s see what you can do!”
The White Lotus Bachelor Sage’s rage burst forth with a manic laugh.
The jealousy in his heart then motivated him to activate his spiritual power, and a powerful Daoist Rhyme emanated from his body before it blasted out from his palm.
Then, a dash of white light burst out from the middle of his palm before it exploded into a burst of white rainbow!
Remaining silent, Chu Kuangren drew his sword, and with that same purple sword ray, it suddenly sliced apart the power in his palm, which backlashed onto the White Lotus Bachelor Sage.
An agonizing scream pierced the air followed by gushing blood that spilled everywhere.
A limp arm was tossed into the air.
“You can’t even handle a small tap from my blade, but you want to ‘see what I can do’? Pathetic,” Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
The White Lotus Bachelor Sage clutched the wound where his arm once was and glared at Chu Kuangren. His eyes were filled with hate, but beyond that was layers of indescribable fear.
To think that the difference in their power was so vast! A single slash was all it took!
The White Lotus Maiden Sage walked over slowly and looked at Chu Kuangren. “Brother Chu, perhaps this was a tad harsh.”
“Well, he certainly spared no mercy when attempting to strike me. Besides, this is quite merciful of me since all I did was break an arm. Would Miss Maiden Sage also like to have a go?” Chu Kuangren gazed at her coldly.
The crowd had no doubts that once the White Lotus Maiden Sage raised her hand, what would await her was the cruelest sword ray they would ever see.
