Chapter 370: Do It Together, Not Embarrassing, A Victory By Whatever Means Is Still A Victory
“Where did you get the impression that I can’t beat you?”
Chu Kuangren gave Jin Bujue a side-glance, and with a lift of his arm, he gathered a tremendous amount of spiritual power once again. This time, a more violent black fist sign was unleashed.
Sensing that the power from this strike was far more powerful than the one before, Jin Bujue yelled as he formed another golden mountain atop his head and struck it towards the incoming strike.
The moment the fist and the mountain clashed together, an explosion erupted in the air. The black fist sign immediately blasted that golden mountain away and smashed itself onto Jin Bujue’s body.
Like a kite that had snapped its string, Jin Bujue was hurled backward, where he fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The injuries he had suffered were heavy.
This punch shocked every empyrean walker at the scene!
“What a horrifying fist energy!”
“How is it possible that this guy’s combat strength has reached such heights?!”
Ling Xiao, Li Fuping, and the others stared wide-eyed in shock.
In contrast to their utter shock, Zhan Long, Feng Yaorao, Guo San, and Ye Xin, who had battled Chu Kuangren before this, did not feel too surprised.
Chu Kuangren had also beaten them all by himself.
“Come on guys, quit thinking about taking me on alone. Just do it together and fight me all at once. I don’t think it’s embarrassing at all.”
Chu Kuangren said to Ling Xiao and the others.
Upon hearing what he said, the few of them did not know how to react.
They wanted to rebut, but they did not know what to say. With the combat strength that Chu Kuangren had displayed, none of them alone was a match for him. Only by going at him together would they stand a chance at winning!
Even so, they could not bear to stoop so low!
After all, they were empyrean walkers — top-notch sky-prides who were trained by their respective orthodoxies and had the responsibility of making a name for their orthodoxy. As such, they were no doubt full of confidence and arrogance.
However, Chu Kuangren’s power had now destroyed their self-esteem. If they were to combine forces, they had to give up their ego. How could they ever bring themselves to agree to such humiliation?
“Come on now. Just come at me. Stop hesitating!”
“He’s right. You guys are fighting the almighty Chu Kuangren. You wouldn’t be humiliated even if it’s double the people, let alone a few of you.”
“Haha, my dear empyrean walkers, stop having doubts about this. The person standing right in front of you now is the guy who defeated several Sages and even Great Sages. He’s that guy who flipped the whole Oceanic Scaled Tribe upside down and over. What he said is not wrong. Nothing is embarrassing about joining forces to battle him! If you guys happen to beat him, your names will be etched in block letters all over the world. Everyone would know who you are by then!!”
Amongst the crowd was a few sh*t-stirrers who kept provoking the empyrean walkers to have a go at Chu Kuangren together.
Their words tortured Ling Xiao and the few others’ Daoist cores.
Should they fight for the win or fight for their honor?!
“Let’s all go at him!!”
Right then, Zhan Long suddenly shouted, “It doesn’t matter if it’s one on one or a group battle. As long as we beat him, it’d be a win for us! Only then will we be able to obtain that opportunity of becoming an Emperor. Otherwise, we would forever be in his shadow!”
With that, the group finally made up their minds.
What could they do with more dignity anyway?
They only wanted to become an Emperor!
As long as they could become an Emperor, ganging up on someone meant nothing!
“Let’s go!!”
“Chu Kuangren, let us all have a go at you!”
Seeing the empyrean walkers swarming up on him, Chu Kuangren finally revealed a pleased smile. “That’s right. This is more like it.”
An incredibly ruthless strength qi suddenly erupted from his body and golden Buddhist Light manifested all around him, which formed into an ancient golden Buddha!
The ancient Buddha threw out a palm attack at Zhan Long who was charging at him with full force. Zhan Long let out a battle cry and similarly threw out a punch.
The collision of the palm and fist attack shook the entire Empyrean Peak!
Both parties felt the impact at the same time too. However, Chu Kuangren remained unmoved, while Zhan Long was sent flying over a hundred meters with his arm quivering non-stop.
“This fellow is still as powerful as he used to be!”
Zhan Long gritted on his teeth and begrudged.
At this point, the few remaining empyrean walkers had already closed their distance on Chu Kuangren.
Sword qi, saber light, death qi, and various other energies swept outward. Combined with surges of Daoist Rhyme from all directions, a combined attack was launched toward Chu Kuangren!
The force was so powerful that it almost twisted the fabrics of space, and the explosion was so loud that the Empyrean Peak began to crack.
“Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Synchronous Overworld Anarchy!”
A delicate guqin appeared in Chu Kuangren’s arms.
As soon as he plucked the strings with his ten fingers, incredibly terrifying guqin Daoist Rhymes reverberated the entire realm, and live-like musical waves spread outward from him.
In the face of this guqin music, those sword qi, death qi, pike ray, and other energies collapsed one after another. The few people who were charging at Chu Kuangren were also forced backward by the impact, while Chu Kuangren, who stood at the very center of all those energies, withstood the most devastating power!
Under such immense power, even a Sage would not be able to hold on for long. Yet, Chu Kuangren remained composed and standing, with white lotuses blooming all around his body, blocking off all the impact.
It was the Sage Ruler Technique, White Lotus Light of Purification!
“Sword qi, transform!”
Suddenly, four surges of sword qi shot out from Chu Kuangren’s body and transformed into four sword qi clones, which flung themselves onto the four empyrean walkers — Zhan Long, Feng Yaorao, Ye Xin, and Guo San.
“I’ve already witnessed the four of your powers before this. Why don’t you guys entertain these clones for a while?”
Chu Kuangren said indifferently before he looked toward Ling Xiao, Li Fuping, and the other two people. He urged them on with his finger. “You guys, just give me your all.”
“Before we resume the battle, I have a question. Do you know the Gluttonous Devouring Technique?” Just then, the grey-robed teen asked.
He was the Sacred Palace of Death’s empyrean walker, Gui Wuchou!
“Gluttonous Devouring Technique… Oh, right, I almost forgot. I got the Gluttonous Devouring Technique from some guy named the Black Light Sage. I think he’s one of your Sacred Palace of Death’s Protectors.”
Chu Kuangren said as it dawned on him.
A few years ago, when he had just descended into the realm, he went to some place called the Secret Realm of the Luminous Moon. That was where Black Light Sage was trapped, and it was from him that Chu Kuangren obtained the Gluttonous Devouring Technique.
On top of that, Black Light Sage was the Sacred Palace of Death’s very own.
“I knew it. It was you who took the Gluttonous Devouring Technique from the Black Light Protector. Please return it to our Sacred Palace after this battle!”
Gui Wuchou demanded.
“If I refuse?”
“Then you will be the Sacred Palace of Death’s sworn enemy!”
Gui Wcuhou declared coldly.
“Heh, I’ve made so many enemies on my way here today, having another one means nothing.” Chu Kuangren could not care less.
“You both can settle your affairs after this. Let’s finish this battle first!!”
Ling Xiao shouted and struck out his pike, where an incredibly ruthless Daoist Rhyme circled on top of it, like a dragon that was about to leap out of the sea.
As such, the Descendant Self Sword that was originally plugged into the ground suddenly flew out and into Chu Kuangren’s grasp. With a clang, he struck out his sword.
The sword clashed with the pike and bouts after bouts of strength qi swept across the place.
Clang clang clang…
The sword and the pike struck each other with astonishing speed!
Since that sword technique and pike technique each contained an enormous amount of spiritual energy and Daoist Rhyme, every strike had the power to split the mountain beneath them in half.
Whoosh!
Just then, a sword ray landed on the top of Chu Kuangren’s head!
That sword ray was like a crescent moon. It was sharp and hard to block!
The Descendant Self Sword in Chu Kuangren’s palm vibrated and a surge of majestic sword qi gushed out, temporarily forcing Ling Xiao to stumble backward.
Immediately after, Chu Kuangren swung out his sword and lashed out at that sword ray that was about to hit his head.
An incredibly domineering purple sword ray retaliated with unstoppable momentum and ripped that incoming sword ray apart before it made its way to the empyrean walker Li Fuping!
Both of them were similarly swordsmen, but Chu Kuangren’s sword qi contained a type of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that sent cold shivers down Li Fuping’s spine.
