Chapter 902: The Flame Demon Bandits Submit, What if I’m Included Then
“What a powerful strength!”
“The captains were all overpowered effortlessly!”
“His strength is certainly on par with a Heavenly Daoist Celestial at least.”
“Wait… That guy… He’s…”
Suddenly, someone among the Flame Demon Bandits exclaimed with a trembling tone, “I remember now. That guy is Chu Kuangren, the one that Planet Zi is offering a huge bounty on his head!”
“What? The Sword Poet Immortal, Chu Kuangren?!”
Another person could not help but yell in shock.
The captains were shocked to know Chu Kuangren’s exposed ident.i.ty. Even the Flame Demon Bandit King nearby gulped.
‘No wonder the Berserk Sand Bandit King dares to come to the Flame Demon Bandits’ base camp with just three people. He has found the support of a powerful cultivator!’
“Quick, everyone attack at once!”
The Flame Demon Bandit King roared.
At that moment, tens of thousands of Flame Demon Bandits attacked. All sorts of techniques surged forth, covering the whole s.p.a.ce. A terrifying wave of energy crashed forth with might that caused the whole area to rumble.
Under such a scale of an attack, even a Heavenly Daoist Celestial would not survive.
However, Chu Kuangren remained calm.
He did not even bother to dodge those attacks. Instead, he walked towards the incoming attack with countless mysterious Daoist patterns spreading from his body.
The Daoist patterns lit up and formed a gigantic vortex.
‘Single Thought Series, Ultimate Chasm of Convergence!’
The barrage of attacks was all absorbed and neutralized by the vortex.
Colorful blasts and sparks of light from those attacks surrounded Chu Kuangren as they landed around him, spreading terrifying fluctuations strong enough to shatter the void.
However, those attacks could not get past the vortex no matter what. Hence, he was not injured at all.
“How can this be?”
“How powerful is this defensive technique?”
“Why is he so powerful?!”
The Flame Demon Bandits’ eyes widened in shock. They were so mindblown and in disbelief that their heart could stop anytime.
“You guys should leave.”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently.
The moment he said that, a horrifying wave of Emperor qi immediately spread in all directions from him and impacted the surrounding Flame Demon Bandits violently.
One by one, the wars.h.i.+ps and the Flame Demon Bandits around him were all sent flying out of control in the vastness of s.p.a.ce.
“He really lives up to the name Sword Poet Immortal!”
The Flame Demon Bandit King’s gaze was incredibly stern.
After forcing the Berserk Sand Bandit King with a saber attack, he turned into a ray of light and charged toward Chu Kuangren at breakneck speed.
He was planning to cut off the head of the snake!
The Flame Demon Bandit King wanted to deal with Chu Kuangren first.
He struck out with his saber, and a saber shadow with scorching flames around it unleashed. Its high temperature immediately distorted the surrounding void.
“You’re too weak!”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand and punched forth.
‘Invincible Technique, Inverted Universe!’
With a bang, his devastating fist energy immediately broke through the saber shadow and landed on the Flame Demon Bandit King’s body, which was sent flying.
He defeated the Flame Demon Bandit King with a single punch!
“So this is the power of the Sword Poet Immortal!”
The Flame Demon Bandit King slammed into a wars.h.i.+p and created a huge hole in it. As he was lying inside it, a look of horror filled his face.
“You’ve only witnessed a fraction of my full strength.”
Chu Kuangren said.
“Allow me to ask you this. Why do you want us to submit? What is your goal here?”
“I seek the annihilation of Planet Zi!”
The Flame Demon Bandit King’s eyes immediately lit up.
He pondered awhile and nodded. “Alright. If it’s to go against Planet Zi, I shall join you!”
“Oh.”
Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.
He never expected his opponent to agree that fast.
He initially thought that he would still need to go on a slaughter-fest to achieve this.
“Like you, I too have a deep-seething grudge against Planet Zi.”
There was a huge hatred in the Flame Demon Bandit King’s eyes when he talked about Planet Zi. “Back then, the orthodoxy I was a part of offended one of the Planet Zi Seats. Because of this, we ended up being wiped out by Planet Zi’s forces. In my frustration, I had no choice but to flee to the Chaotic Starfield. It was because of the chaos here that I managed to stay alive from Planet Zi’s pursuits.”
“Eventually, I created the Flame Demon Bandits, hoping that the opportunity to take my revenge against Planet Zi would come one day. Since you’re going to launch an attack against Planet Zi, I shall help you out.”
Chu Kuangren could not help but chuckle upon hearing what the Flame Demon Bandit King said. “It seems like Planet Zi has made a lot of enemies, huh?”
He shook his head and said, “Very well. We shall go visit the Heavenly Gale Bandits in a few days. I want to look for someone there.”
The Heavenly Gale Bandits were the strongest organization of bandits in Chaotic Starfield.
The Heavenly Gale Bandit King was also known as Bandit King. As such, the two Bandit Kings had a stern look on their faces at the mention of his name.
However, the stern look on their faces vanished when they looked at Chu Kuangren. In the face of someone like Chu Kuangren, what could the Heavenly Gale Bandit King possibly do?
They even thought that Chu Kuangren would be enough to wipe out the Heavenly Gale Bandits alone and that the both of them were not needed at all.
They would most likely be cheering him on over there.
…
Inside the Heavenly Gale Bandits’ base camp.
A hulking man was drinking wine with a black-robed middle-aged man.
“Brother Black Blood, don’t be discouraged. Although the casualties and damages the Black Blood Tower suffered are very high, you must remember that you, the King of a.s.sa.s.sins, are still alive. With time, you’ll certainly be able to rebuild Black Blood Tower.”
The hulking man tried to console the Black Blood Tower Master. He was the Heavenly Gale Bandit King, the strongest among the three bandit kings, and the ruler of the Chaotic Starfield.
At that, the Black Blood Tower Master’s mood improved. “You’re right. Although my Black Blood Tower headquarters is gone, I still have many branches all over the galaxy. As long as I’m alive, the Black Blood Tower shall live.”
“Haha, now that’s the King of a.s.sa.s.sins I know.”
The Heavenly Gale Bandit King laughed. He then recalled something and said, “Brother Black Blood, seeing that you’ve fought with Chu Kuangren before, is he really as powerful as the rumors say?”
A horrified look that had never seen before on the Black Blood Tower Master’s face appeared. “This guy is way stronger than the rumors say, especially that growth rate of his, which is amazingly fast!”
“Tsk, I really do look forward to a fight with him if there’s a chance.”
“No, Brother Heavenly Gale, please listen to my advice. Try to steer yourself away from this man if you can. Nothing good will ever come from involving yourself with him.”
The Black Blood Tower Master said.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you want to take revenge?”
“Yes, of course, I want to! But it’s hard to do so!” The Black Blood Tower Master sighed. “It won’t be long before he becomes the strongest person in the galaxy. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to take my revenge anymore.”
It was clear that he had a traumatizing impression from Chu Kuangren.
After all, Chu Kuangren was someone who could defeat even Planet Sirius’s Heavenly Dao.
What could the Black Blood Tower Master possibly do?
“Alright, let’s talk about something else. Let’s drink.”
The Heavenly Gale Bandit King immediately changed the topic.
However, he suddenly sensed something and quickly looked into the sky. His gaze gradually turned cold.
“This aura… It’s those two guys.”
The Heavenly Gale Bandit King snorted.
Dozens of figures were approaching them from the sky. All of them were Daoist Celestials, with the ones leading them being the Berserk Sand Bandit King and the Flame Demon Bandit King. The Heavenly Gale Bandits were immediately alerted by their appearance.
“The Flame Demon Bandits and the Berserk Sand Bandits. Why are they here?”
“Hmph. It looks like they’re not being friendly.”
The Heavenly Gale Bandit King snorted coldly as he rose into the air.
He then looked at the two bandit kings and said coldly, “What is this? Have the Flame Demon Bandits and the Berserk Sand Bandits joined forces to take us out?”
“Exactly.”
The Berserk Sand Bandit King replied bluntly.
“I’ll end you!”
The Heavenly Gale Bandit King’s aura instantly erupted. His cultivation level was way higher than the two bandit kings. He was already at the late-stage Heavenly Daoist Celestial!
The Black Blood Tower Master also stood up and sneered at the two bandit kings. “Only the two of you, and you dare go against Brother Heavenly Gale? You must be sick of living!”
“Oh, what if I’m included then?”
An indifferent voice appeared.
Following that, an otherworldly figure was descending from the skies. His magnificent Emperor qi surged forth, slamming into the void violently.
The Black Blood Tower Master’s eyes widened in shock upon seeing him. Then, he said with a look of horror on his face.. “It’s… It’s you!”
