1755 Soul Scouring Once More, the Armament Destruction’s Bloodthirsty Blades, Killing Is Not Allowed in This Premise
Amidst the trembling swords, the ringing sword chant reverberated across the realm!
A figure in white robes shrouded in Immortal Sparks slowly approached from the starry sky. His sword intent spread, stunning everyone present!
Ling Fei, Luo Xue, and the others were overjoyed to see who had arrived.
That person was none other than Chu Kuangren.
!!
“The Heavens shall give you one chance. Tell me everything you know about the Thousand Sword Calamity, and your life shall be spared,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
He was also interested in the Thousand Sword Calamity that happened to the Spiritual Sword Tribe back then.
“Oh, it looks like you’re the Heavenly Sword that everybody’s been talking about!”
Luo Wusheng looked at Chu Kuangren, and his sword intent surged in response. However, his eyes flickered before his gaze turned serious and grim. “I can tell you about what happened if only you defeat me. Then, I’ll gladly tell you everything I know!”
The instant he finished speaking, his sword suddenly unsheathed with a clang!
A burst of sword qi rose into the sky!
Luo Wusheng struck forward at Chu Kuangren with his sword, releasing an endless stream of sword qi. His attack was so powerful that every sky-pride and Prodigy present could not help but raise their brows!
That attack was already on par with the strength of the Heavenly G.o.d Leaderboard’s top ten Prodigies.
However, Chu Kuangren remained where he was, not evading or fleeing. Instead, he slowly raised his hand.
Clang!
The sound of sword qi clas.h.i.+ng rang out.
Luo Wusheng’s sword was wedged between and held tightly with Chu Kuangren’s two fingers, which blocked the sword qi around the sword’s tip from unleas.h.i.+ng!
“Using a sword before the Heavens? You’re pretty arrogant,” said Chu Kuangren calmly.
Upon hearing that, every sky-pride and Prodigies’ mouth twitched.
‘You’re one to say. Who else in this world could be more arrogant than you, the one who refers to himself as the Heavens?’
Everyone shared the same thought.
Luo Wusheng frowned a little. Then, he twisted his grip, hoping to cut Chu Kuangren’s finger off with his razor-sharp sword.
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, his sword that had been caught between Chu Kuangren’s fingers would not budge!
“How can he possess such terrifying strength?!”
Luo Wusheng looked shocked.
However, he let out a roar, unleas.h.i.+ng waves of sword qi from his body that gushed toward Chu Kuangren!
His sword began to tremble violently due to the power of his sword qi.
“Want to get your sword back? Why don’t the Heavens help you with that?”
Chu Kuangren exerted a little bit of strength with his fingers, and a burst of sword qi released!
With a clang, that sword immediately broke into two!
The impact from the sword qi sent Luo Wusheng flying backward, and he looked at the broken sword in his hand with shock.
“How is this possible…”
Luo Wusheng gulped in disbelief.
He had always been confident in his capabilities. He even believed he would become the best cultivator among the younger generation in this new era!
Even when it came to Sword Dao, he was confident that only a few could be his match!
Unexpectedly, he was already taught a lesson moments after he awakened in this era!
“Impossible!”
Luo Wusheng’s expression sank. Filled with great unjust and unwillingness, he channeled his cultivation to the limit and raised his sword. A tremendous sword intent erupted and spread everywhere!
“Soundless Blade, Bladeless Sound!”
With a swing of his sword, a gigantic sword shadow descended from the sky, silently crus.h.i.+ng any planet in its way!
That was the purest form of a murderous sword attack — an attack that lived to kill!
However, Chu Kuangren merely stood still. He slowly put both arms behind his back, taking the full brunt of that attack with his body!
The incoming sword qi collided violently with Chu Kuangren’s physical body. Amidst the silence, all everyone could see were gorgeous divine lights radiating from the surface of Chu Kuangren’s body, which were actually intertwining sword qis!
He was using his Immortal’s Core energy to produce a form of protective sword qi that allowed him to block Luo Wusheng’s ultimate killing technique effortlessly!
Compared to being defeated, Luo Wusheng found that even more difficult to accept!
The mere sword qi produced from his opponent’s Immortal Core energy could already block his killing technique easily!
If his opponent wished to go for the kill, would he not be killed immediately?
“Your sword has disappointed the Heavens.”
Chu Kuangren casually threw the other half of the broken sword toward him.
Whoos.h.!.+
The broken sword flew across the sky like a shooting star, seemingly piercing through the heavens itself!
With a ‘poof’, a mist of blood spurted out!
The broken half of the sword immediately landed on Luo Wusheng’s body and went straight through, causing him to howl in pain.
Following that, Chu Kuangren’s figure disappeared.
The moment he reappeared, everyone else saw him holding Luo Wusheng by the neck in the air as if he was holding a defenseless chicken.
“You can answer my question now. What happened during the Thousand Sword Calamity?”
“Cough… Cough…”
Luo Wusheng coughed up a lot of blood. However, the blood from his mouth contained strands of sword qi that shot toward Chu Kuangren!
He was using his blood essence as a sword!
Using that sword qi was detrimental to his life essence!
Chu Kuangren frowned a little. Then, a surge of sword qi came out from his body, blocking the blood sword qi without trouble. “Disobedience against the Heavens, huh? What a foolish decision!”
With a thought from his mind, Chu Kuangren’s soul energy erupted!
Countless fine soul needles were pushed into Luo Wusheng’s head, and he screamed in agony!
“Argh!”
His cries and howls resounded throughout the starry sky. Everyone who heard him could not help but shudder.
“To think that a Prodigy sky-pride was forced to scream in pain like that. What did the Heavenly Sword do?”
“Tsk tsk. I’d better not get on his bad side in the future.”
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren with fear in their eyes.
The screams of agony continued…
Soon, Luo Wusheng’s body was so weak that he dangled in Chu Kuangren’s grasp like a noodle. By then, he was tethering on the brink of death.
“Soul Scouring!”
Seeing that the time was right, Chu Kuangren immediately used the Soul Scouring Technique!
The Soul Scouring Technique was extremely merciless!
Terrifying bursts of soul energy penetrated Luo Wusheng’s severely weakened body without any resistance. The memories and secrets within his soul were laid bare before Chu Kuangren!
“So that’s what happened…”
Chu Kuangren soon understood everything that had happened.
Luo Wusheng came from a mysterious secret tribe that was known as… the Armament Destruction Tribe!
This tribe was quite a strange one.
Their members could absorb the rage qi and ferocious qi of various weapons to strengthen themselves. Many years ago, that tribe just happened to set their gazes on the Spiritual Sword Tribe to become stronger!
As the Spiritual Sword Tribe members were all sword cultivators, they were faithful to their swords!
If they could destroy the Spiritual Sword Tribe, the rage qi and ferocious qi that came from the swords would greatly benefit the Armament Destruction Tribe!
Hence, they plotted the disaster, which was later known as the Thousand Sword Tribe!
The Spiritual Sword Tribe suffered unprecedented losses due to that calamity, while the Armament Destruction Tribe managed to gather a tremendous amount of sword rage qi and ferocious qi. Using that, the Armament Destruction Tribe created several terrifying Prodigies!
The Prodigies were known as the Armament Destruction’s Bloodthirsty Blades!
Those individuals would awaken during this era to bring destruction to the Spiritual Sword Tribe!
Then, the Armament Destruction Tribe would gather more sword rage qi and ferocious qi to become even stronger!
Chu Kuangren sneered upon learning that. “Well, well, well. So, they’ve taken the Spiritual Sword Tribe as a bunch of crops, huh? Harvesting every cultivator as they wish?”
The Spiritual Sword Tribe was still useful to him.
Therefore, he naturally would not sit idly by and let that happen. Besides, he was interested to face the Armament Destruction’s other Bloodthirsty Blades.
‘The Heavenly Sword versus the Bloodthirsty Blades?’
‘Perhaps this might prove to be something fun in the future.’
“The a.s.sessment has commenced. Killing is not allowed here on this premise!”
At that moment, an indifferent voice rang out. A man in gold armor slowly walked out from the Central Heaven Temple, with a surge of Emperor qi exuding from his body.
That man was an elite from the Emperor Tribe!
