Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Asingle word from the Sword Crown and sword intents rose to the sky, ready to kill its enemies.
Green lotuses bloomed outward from the Sword Crown as the center. In the blink of an eye, he turned a few thousand miles of land into a sea of green lotuses.
The scene shocked the three Immortals.
“This is one of the Seven Crowns, the Sword Crown’s power?”
“Impossible. I heard the Saber Crown crippled him a long time ago. How is it possible for him to possess so much strength?”
“What is going on?”
The three of them exchanged a confused look.
‘An unusual look flashed across the Holy Divine Fire Cult’s Immortal’s eyes. With the flame burning on his palm, he said, “T’ll go first.”
His Immortal’s Core activated, and what followed was a palm strike.
He threw a dominating fiery palm at the Sword Crown.
Despite that, the Sword Crown stood on the spot with a calm look.
Without pulling out his Immortal Sword, his sword qi automatically concentrated at the tip of his finger. Then, he swung his finger in the air, and a tremendous sword qi slashed outwards, stirring the lotuses along its trail.
The sword qi slashed the fiery palm strike in half and went straight toward the Immortal.
Just one move and the Immortals pupils shrank in fear. A never-before-seen horrified look appeared on his face.
He shouted and channeled all his strength to withstand this slash, but it was useless.
With a swish, the sword qi cut off his arm. The Immortal’s blood gushed out violently and spurted all over the land.
The boiling Immortal blood ignited the land upon landing, turning it into a sea of fire.
“He cut off my arm in one strike! He has recovered!”
“The Sword Crown is a Ninth-grade Common Immortal, but we are just a Lower Third-grade Common Immortal. We are not his match. Fall back at once!” the Holy City’s Immortal said coldly.
Back at the ruins of the ancient orthodoxy, Wu Wuji, Hui Fa, and the others sensed that the Immortals had left in a rush.
Astonished, they all looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
“The Immortals are running away?!”
“Chu Kuangren has some powerful forces behind him?”
“Isn’t he a foreigner? How does he have such powerful forces supporting him? Even the Immortals have been forced to retreat!”
“Holy cow. He’s definitely from a powerful force!”
A heated discussion sounded.
On the other hand, Hui Fa and Wu Wuji fell into despair.
If the Immortals had retreated, who would come to their rescue?
The sword qi shuttled around in the air, and the Resentful Buddha’s avatar started to crumble before it exploded.
The two Resentful Buddha sculptures also fell out and landed on the ground.
Hui Fa was slashed into a cloud of blood mist by the sword qi.
‘Wu Wyji shared the same fate as well.
“Chu Kuangren! You can’t kill me! I’m from Sycamore Mountain’s Divine Beast Tribe! Our powers are unfathomable! Killing me means making the entire Sycamore Mountain your enemy…” Feng Shangyun pleaded nervously.
“If I could kill the Immortal Progeny from Holy Divine Fire Cult, Holy City, and even Golden Ridge Temple, do you really think I’m afraid of Sycamore Mountain’s Divine Beast Tribe?” Chu Kuangren said with a cold look on his face.
Violet lotus sword ray shuttled in the air and struck Feng Shangyun down.
“Now, do you think your Phoenix’s Flame can save you?” Chu Kuangren grinned.
Everyone else stared at Chu Kuangren, horrified.
All four King Immortal Progenies teamed up against him, and it was useless. Chu Kuangren defeated and killed them one after another. The strength he displayed was beyond anyone’s imagination.
“According to the Immortal Path’s categorization on the Three Disasters and Nine Dooms, Chu Kuangren’s strength should be at the seventh trial, or even the eighth.”
“But why aren’t there any signs of the lightning tribulation on him?”
“That’s what’s confusing.”
The battle sparked heated discussion among the audience. After this battle, Chu Kuangren’s name would go down in the history of Planquilon Immortal World.
One man against four King Immortal Progenies!
No native Immortal Progeny was able to achieve it before, let alone one from the outside world.
The source energies went back into Chu Kuangren’s body. After that, he picked up the spoils on the ground together with the two Resentful Buddha sculptures.
Then, he returned to Lan Yu and the others.
However, Huang Yinghong, who stood beside Qing Feng, stared at him cautiously. He had just killed a Phoenix Bachelor after all.
Chu Kuangren was not bothered by the glare.
If she did anything to him, he would just kill her.
It was not difficult anyway.
Awhile later, the Sword Crown returned.
“Is it settled?” Chu Kuangren simply asked.
“They’ve retreated.” The Sword Crown nodded.
“Retreated? Forget it. You just recovered, so the fact that you can fend them off is good enough. I didn’t expect you to bring back the bodies of the Immortals either,” Chu Kuangren said.
The Sword Crown was rendered speechless, and his face twitched helplessly.
The Immortals’ bodies?
Immortals were not an easy target.
“Tl try next time,” the Sword Crown said.
Chu Kuangren did not dwell on the topic.
Compared to asking the Sword Crown to kill an Immortal, he would prefer to kill one himself.
However, he knew that given his current strength, killing an Immortal was a little out of the question.
He might stand a chance if he gained more insights into the source energies.
“There’s nothing left in these ruins for us. Let’s go,” Chu Kuangren said.
“Um, Master…” It was then Qing Feng opened up reluctantly. “I wish to return to Sycamore Mountain with Yinghong.”
Chu Kuangren was not surprised at all.
“Sure.”
“In that case, may fate allow us to meet again one day.”
Qing Feng stared at Chu Kuangren with mixed feelings. They might not have spent a lot of time together, and neither of them shared anything memorable, but she could never forget him.
Perhaps it was the natural charm of Chu Kuangren’s personality.
Some people just had the ability to leave a strong impression on others.
“Mmhm.” Chu Kuangren nodded and parted ways with Qing Feng.
He had already mastered the Azure Phoenix Physique and the Jade Pool Immortal’s Scriptures, so Qing Feng was no longer valuable to him.
“Sycamore Mountain? Maybe I’ll visit if I have the chance. Lil Hong has also made her way to Planquilon Immortal World, but there’s no news on her. Maybe there’s something about her there.”
Besides Chu Hong, there was also Yin Honghua.
He should really take some time to find out about their whereabouts.
Right before he left, Chu Kuangren turned to Gu Wuqing and Gu Liufang. Gu Wuging cupped his fists and said, “Brother, I am forever in your debt. I will make sure to pay you back the favor in the future.”
He was a little embarrassed to say that.
Chu Kuangren saved him, but he could not repay the debt. Judging from Chu Kuangren’s strength and gifts, he would only grow stronger in the future, and until then, Gu Wuqing might not be of use to him.
“L know Immortal Gu from way back. You don’t have to repay me.” A slight hesitancy later, Chu Kuangren added, “I’m sorry about Immortal Gu’s passing. If you need any help, please come to me. I’ll do whatever I can within my capabilities.”
The Sword Crown was a little surprised by Chu Kuangren’s promise. As far as he knew, his master was not someone who would make a promise to others so easily.
It seemed like Immortal Gu meant a lot to him.
As a matter of fact, Immortal Gu meant a lot not to him but Firmament Star. It was because Immortal Gu preached the way of cultivation in Firmament Star that the planet’s cultivation culture could advance swiftly.
Chu Kuangren did not mind making a promise based on that point alone. As for Immortal Gu’s death, he would want to get to the bottom of it if he could.
Gu Wuqing was moved by the promise.
Ever since what happened to the Gu clan, the family’s allies and friends had left them. No one was willing to offer a helping hand at their darkest times.
Never did he think that he would run into Chu Kuangren in the unfamiliar Planquilon Immortal World. Chu Kuangren alone was a hundred times better than those allies and friends of the Gu clan..
