âLetâs go to war then!â
Chu Kuangrenâs thunder-like roar caused the whole Murong clan to tremble in shock.
A fit of never-before-seen anger started to burn within him. After all, Murong Xuan was not just a Daoist from the Black Heaven Sect but his junior brother as well, yet the Murong clan treated him so unfairly!
If he did not get even with them, his name would not be Chu Kuangren!
âYouâ¦â
The Murong clan headâs expression instantly turned grim.
He did not expect Chu Kuangren to be that merciless.
Once a war between orthodoxies started, there would be no turning back. At the end of it, one side would always end up destroyed.
âChu Kuangren, since Murong Xuan is now a mere crippled person, do you truly think itâs a sound decision to go all out against the Murong clan just because of him?â
Murong Hai suddenly spoke out loud at that point.
He told Chu Kuangren about Murong Xuanâs current disabled condition. One must know that a crippled person had no value to any orthodoxy anymore.
He did not believe that Chu Kuangren would disregard the overall big picture and start a war with the Murong clan over a disabled person.
Even Murong Xuan could not help but felt a sense of sorrow when he heard that himself.
Chu Kuangren took a glance at Murong Hai before his figure turned into a flash of light and appeared right before Murong Hai. With his arm holding the latter by the neck, Chu Kuangren lifted Murong Hai to mid-air and uttered to him, âWho gave you permission to deem him as disabled!â
Murong Hai kicked his feet back and forth desperately in the air. His face was flushed red as he explained, âHis meridians⦠had already been broken. His spirit⦠his spiritual mounds are already heavily damaged. Feel free to go see for yourself if you donât believe me. He, heâs now a⦠piece of waste.â
âDie!â
The moment Chu Kuangrenâs gaze turned cold, a violent surge of spiritual power gushed out from his palm. In a split second, Murong Haiâs internal organs shattered, and his limbs and bones became so twisted and distorted that he was anything else but alive at that point.
Chu Kuangren loosened his grip, and Murong Haiâs body then fell onto the ground like a puddle of flesh.
Among the crowd, one of the elders turned pale as he let out a sorrowful scream. âMy son!â
That person was Murong Haiâs father who quickly rushed to his sonâs dead body. Upon noticing that there was no sign of life, his grief and rage began to build up. He then channeled all the spiritual energy from his body and unleashed an eruption of Daoist Rhyme as he slashed forth towards Chu Kuangren!
âIâll have you pay for my sonâs life!â
âNo! Stop!â
Murong Feng quickly yelled at that scene.
Chu Kuangrenâs combat strength was so terrifying that even he was no match for him, let alone that elder.
âWhy donât you tag along with your son then?â Chu Kuangren replied coldly and then blasted out a palm attack.
However, domineering energy was released from that white jade-like palm of his instead, which caused the surrounding void to tremble everywhere it passed.
That attack instantly shattered and broke through the elderâs sword qi before eventually reaching his head.
With a bang, his opponentâs head was blown up like a watermelon.
Upon witnessing that, everyone from the Murong clan felt a chill run down their spine.
It was too horrifying.
Just too horrifying indeed.
As of now, all of Chu Kuangrenâs attacks had been merciless, and none of the Honorable Realm elders on the scene could even survive an attack from him.
âBlack Heaven Sect Leader, youâve gone too far this time!â
From the void, a burst of suppressing energy suddenly weighed down, and a mighty Sage Poise instantly filled the whole area.
An old white-robed man slowly walked out from deep within the Murong clan.
âItâs our Forth Forefather!â
âThatâs great, our Forth Forefather is here!â
The Murong clanâs head and others were overjoyed.
That was because the person who came was not only the Murong clanâs Sage, but he was also the strongest support that the Murong clan could rely on in Firmament Star.
âGone too far? I donât think so at all.â
Chu Kuangren replied calmly, âA Daoist from my Black Heaven Sect has been mistreated and bullied by your people, and itâs not just that. They even dragged out his mother who has been dead for years just to humiliate her. So even if I slaughter the whole Murong clan in the process, I donât think what Iâm doing is considered too much!â
There was an incomparably horrifying Daoist Rhyme circulating his body. His slender figure seemed like a divine sword as he emanated a peerless and domineering spirit!
When his domineering aura clashed with the Sageâs, he still held his own!
That very scene made everyone gasp in disbelief.
âHe has broken through to the Honorable Realm.â
Murong Yuâs pupils shrunk in shock as he said. âEven if he did break through to the Honorable Realm, having such an amount of strength is still considered an unbelievable feat.â
âHmph, thatâs bold nonsense!â The Murong clanâs Forth Forefather snorted, took a step forward, and slowly stretched out his hand.
Accompanied by a burst of Sageâs Daoist Rhyme, a majestic surge of spiritual power gathered and formed into a gigantic hand that covered the skies. It reached out towards Chu Kuangren to grab him.
âI shall capture you and wait for the Black Heaven Sectâs Sage to negotiate with me,â the Murong clanâs Forth Forefather said coldly.
The Sageâs attack was shockingly terrifying!
However, there was no hint of fear in Chu Kuangrenâs eyes as an extremely bright light radiated from the Descendant Self Sword in his hand. âDo you think you alone can capture me?â
After a sneer, Chu Kuangren lifted his arm and immediately swung his sword.
An equally powerful purple sword ray was unleashed. That sword ray was mighty and unstoppable, not to mention filled with a surge of the Emperor Aura!
Even the Sageâs Daoist Rhyme was suppressed in the face of it.
The Emperor Suppressing All Ability!
The Murong Clanâs Forth Forefather was slightly shocked.
He knew that Chu Kuangren possessed Emperor Techniques, but he did not expect that the Daoist Rhyme emanating from his opponentâs Emperor Technique was able to suppress him!
A living being below the level of a Sage possessed such terrifying power?
Boom!
With that terrifying explosion, the sword ray and the Sageâs gigantic hand transformation collided against each other, and the violent shockwaves from their impact swept across all directions.
Chu Kuangren was pushed back dozens of feet under the force of that impact.
Meanwhile, the palm of the Sage had a⦠stain of blood!
Chu Kuangren had injured a Sage with just a single attack!
Gasp!
Everyone in the Murong clan gasped upon witnessing that scene.
âHe⦠How did he do it!â
âThatâs impossible! He can injure a Sage!â
By then, everyone was trembling in shock.
From their knowledge, the Sages and those below the level of one were in completely different worlds, hence they could not compare with each other at all.
Yet Chu Kuangren had shattered their current worldview with his strength. Despite being under the level of a Sage, he could still injure one!
Chu Kuangren came to Lan Yuâs side and said, âBring Murong Xuan up to the Illusive Mirage first.â
âAlright.â Lan Yu nodded. Then, she tidied up the skeletal remains, kept them inside her Yin and Yang ring, carried Murong Xuan, and flew towards the Illusive Mirage.
When the Murong clanâs head and others noticed that from afar, their expressions turned grim. The Murong clan ordered, âSomeone stop them. Do not let them leave.â
One by one, numerous elders rushed towards Lan Yu and Murong Xuan as they intended to stop them.
However, Chu Kuangren then activated his Sword Qi Transformation Technique. One by one, his sword qi clones immediately dashed towards the pursuing elders and eventually blocked all of them in their paths.
Although the sword qi clones only possessed less than ten percent of Chu Kuangrenâs strength, their combat strength was still very terrifying compared to most of the Honorables there.
As such, there was no way the Murong clanâs head and others could beat all of them. They could only watch as Lan Yu and Murong Xuan boarded the Illusive Mirage.
The mysterious Daoist patterns on the Illusive Mirage swirled about soon after, and a golden defensive forcefield formed around the whole Fairy boat. One glance and they could tell that it would be hard to break through.
âD*mn it, I canât believe Chu Kuangren even has a clone technique!â
âHow can he possess so many techniques!â
âDarn this.â
The Murong clanâs head and others were extremely enraged.
Meanwhile, the Murong clanâs Forth Forefather took a look at the wound on his palm and then glared at Chu Kuangren with murderous intent in his eyes.
âThis guy is way too dangerous to be left alone here. Now that heâs made enemies with our Murong clan, if I donât kill him now, heâll no doubt be a great disaster thatâll haunt us in the future!â
At that thought, he already had a decision. His Sageâs Daoist Rhyme started to circulate his body while his spiritual power constantly slammed against the void like a crashing tide.
The heavens and earth soon started to rumble. When the Sageâs wrath was incurred, even the heavens were frightened!
Sensing his opponentâs killing intent, Chu Kuangrenâs eyes were ice cold. âI really am curious as to whether or not a Sage can possibly kill me!â
