Chapter 348: An Earnest Suggestion, Told You Guys To Fight Me Together
“Haha, he’s finally out!”
“After such a long wait, our patience finally bore fruit!”
“Chu Kuangren, I’m coming for you!”
The four empyrean walkers who were gathered at the Black Heaven Sect transformed into a stream of light, one after another, as they dashed in the direction of the Sky Emperor Palace.
Inside the Sky Emperor Palace, Chu Kuangren was catching up with Lil Bing and Lan Yu while the G.o.dly Phoenix cuddled beside him.
Suddenly, as if he had felt something, he looked far into the distance.
“Those despicable b.u.g.g.e.rs are here.”
Chu Kuangren pursed his lips, his face visibly disgusted.
If it were normal challenges, he would not be so annoyed at them. After all, who does not love fame and honor? There were so many who wished to replace him in his current position, not to mention these empyrean walkers who wanted to bring pride to their orthodoxies and make a name for themselves.
Nevertheless, a challenge should remain just a challenge. Why did they have to destroy the Black Heaven Sect’s public property?!
Did they think that Black Heaven Sect’s soulstones fell from the sky or grew on trees? Those soulstones were all painstakingly earned by them.
“Haha, Chu Kuangren, you finally came out!”
A burst of ominous loud laughter rang out above the Sky Emperor Palace. It was Zhan Long, who was first to arrive. His body was already erupting with battle intent that he had failed to contain long ago!
His battle intent poured out like a torrent and clashed against the void, bringing about a storm cloud above them.
The entire Sky Emperor Palace quivered twice, which made Chu Kuangren raise an eyebrow. “I don’t think you can afford the losses if you were to destroy my palace.”
Zhan Long responded with another laugh after hearing that. “Don’t tell me that the almighty Black Heaven Sect Leader himself is finding it hard to part with a mere palace?”
“Sect Leader Chu, don’t you worry. Rest a.s.sured that we would be responsible for any damages caused throughout this battle.” By that time, Ye Xin had also arrived.
Then came Feng Yaorao and Guo San as well.
The moment she saw Chu Kuangren, a weird expression flashed across Feng Yaorao’s eyes. “He really is handsome, this one. Darling, how about you vacate your position as a Sect Leader and go back to the Thousand Flower Valley with me. I promise that you’ll have the most blissful time of your life there, you’d never want to leave the place.”
Chu Kuangren replied indifferently, “There’s no need for that. I’m doing just fine as a Sect Leader. My life has been great. I’m healthy and I can still move fine. If I were to go back to Thousand Flower Valley with you, I fear that I won’t even have the strength to climb down from my bed.”
“Hehe, darling, you really do have a sense of humor. How could we ever let that happen to you? Don’t take us Thousand Flower Valley like a demon’s pit. You’re acting as if we eat people for lunch.” Feng Yaorao giggled and said.
“Cut the c.r.a.p. I’m well aware of the purpose of your journey to the Black Heaven Sect. I’ve always disliked trouble and battling you guys one by one is too troublesome. So, I earnestly suggest that all of you fight me together.”
Chu Kuangren said emotionlessly as he supported himself with one hand.
However, what he said had visibly agitated the four empyrean walkers. Even Feng Yaorao, who had always kept a smile, began to express her annoyance at that statement.
“Sect Leader Chu, don’t you think you might’ve underestimated us?”
Ye Xin’s face turned sullen. As the empyrean walkers of the unknown lands, they naturally had their own pride and dignity.
Yet now, having been belittled by Chu Kuangren like this — not to mention the fact that he had made them wait for so many days — anger started to brew deep inside them.
However, Chu Kuangren seemed unfazed by these few empyrean walkers’ furies. He continued to say, “I’m not looking down on you guys. I’m just providing you the most logical suggestion based on the actual circ.u.mstances here.”
What he added on did not help soothe their fury at all. Conversely, it was like pouring oil onto a burning fire, and it made them even more incensed.
What were the actual circ.u.mstances?
What was the most logical suggestion?
He could have stated that they were not worthy of being his opponents! That b*astard!
“You truly are the Chu Kuangren that they’ve described. How arrogant of you to have said that. I’m curious to see if you’d take back what you said in a moment.”
Zhan Long was the first to lose his cool.
He took a stride forward and charged out with momentum. He held the ma.s.sive force that was in his five fingers into a tight first and punched it out towards Chu Kuangren.
Even Lan Yu and Lil Bing who were behind Chu Kuangren could feel that terrifying power that was coming at them.
Lan Yu was able to take it, but Lil Bing, on the other hand, shuddered in fear. Fortunately, Lan Yu was there to support her from collapsing onto the floor.
Upon seeing that, Chu Kuangren quickly released his Battle Monarch Domain to protect the two girls behind him. Then, he looked at the incoming Zhan Long with coldness in his eyes. “How rude of you to strike out before letting your opponent brace themselves.”
He lifted one arm and responded with a punch as well.
He did not utilize any mysterious Daoist Techniques. It was just a simple punch with pure spiritual power, but even so, the sheer power of this single punch was still extremely horrifying because of the Six Supreme Foundation Levels in his body.
The incredibly strong spiritual power spread out like the tide, colliding with Zhan Long’s punch.
The sheer enormity of that energy immediately blasted Zhan Long backward.
After that, Chu Kuangren turned his figure into a stream of light and appeared right in front of Zhan Long. The speed was so quick that n.o.body at the scene had time to react.
When Chu Kuangren reappeared in front of Zhan Long, he grabbed the defenseless Zhan Long by the collar before dashed away into the far side.
Ye Xin, Feng Yaorao, and Guo San immediately followed after him.
Chu Kuangren brought Zhan Long to the outside of the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance, raised his arm, and hurled his captive outward. Just like that, Zhan Long was smashed onto one of the mountain tops.
“Alright, it’s much more s.p.a.cious here. Let’s continue our battle here.”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
Behind him, Ye Xin, Feng Yaorao, and Guo San had just caught up when they saw Zhan Long getting thrown onto a mountain. They were shocked speechless.
Zhan Long’s combat strength was not at all weak, yet Chu Kuangren was able to grab hold of him with ease, drag him out here and toss him onto a mountain.
The mere thought of that sent cold s.h.i.+vers down their spines.
At the very least, this was not something the three of them were capable of.
“He mentioned that all four of us should go at him together. Could it be, that he really is capable of fighting us all at once?!” Ye Xin said grimly.
“Chu Kuangren!!”
Just then, a violent cry was heard from one of the mountaintops.
Zhan Long jumped up into the sky. He was first dominated by Chu Kuangren’s one sword, and now, he was hurled into the mountains like a pile of trash.
His fury had already reached its limit. Together with his battle intent, his energy erupted and swept out frenziedly in all four directions!
“Sigh, you’re so easily annoyed.”
Chu Kuangren remarked jokingly.
“Chu Kuangren, take this!”
“Sky Conqueror Fist, burst!”
Zhan Long’s eyes glowed with a dark glint as he mustered every ounce of his strength. It was a sign that his battle intent had been unleashed fully.
When one punch was thrown out, battle roars erupted in the void.
The brute force of this punch had already exceeded that of a normal Sage!
As someone below the level of a Sage who could unleash such a punch, Zhan Long’s talent and combat strength were considered rare.
This was, in fact, the true strength of an empyrean walker who was fostered and trained in the unknown lands. They were equivalent to unparalleled sky-prides that no common folk could comprehend.
“Battle intent? What a coincidence. I have the same thing!”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
Then, an appalling ferocious qi suddenly erupted from his body.
The Infallible Tormented Physique was unleashed!!
With one punch, a much more terrifying battle intent and a surge of ferocious qi erupted at once. That deafening battle roar that reverberated the entire sky immediately smashed onto Zhan Long.
When these two fist energies collided in the sky above, Zhan Long’s fist energy could not even last a second before it was instantly shattered!
Combined with both ferocious qi and battle intent, that dreadful fist energy landed brutally onto Zhan Long’s body and hammered him a thousand meters into the ground, forming a giant black crater!
“I told you guys to fight me together, and yet you guys refused to believe me. Very well then, now there’s only three of you left.”
Chu Kuangren glanced back at Ye Xin and his other two compatriots, gesturing the three of them to attack. “Come on, get together and fight me in one go. Let’s get this nonsensical squabble over and done with.”
