Chapter 2242 - 2242 Sword Twenty-four Versus Sword Demon, Other Than Me, All Is Worthless
2242 Sword Twenty-four Versus Sword Demon, Other Than Me, All Is Worthless
“So much for being a Supreme Honorable.”
Chu Kuangren retracted his hand without sparing an extra glance at the dead Elder Dichu. Then, he looked at Dugu Bupo, Gu Chan, and the others.
He raised his hand and increased the spatial power of the Infinity Domain.
“Bang!”
Besides Dugu Bupo, Gu Chan, and Ao Qingtian, the other Divine Bachelors and Divine Maides were all thrown to the ground.
They were all pinned on the spot. All they could do was lift their heads to look at Chu Kuangren in fear.
“This is scary!”
“We can’t even stand before him!”
“How can the difference be so huge?”
They felt like they were facing a Monarch instead of Chu Kuangren.
It was terrifying.
“Chu Kuangren, take this!” Dugu Bupo roared.
The sword intent from his body exploded and formed the avatar of a sword demon.
The Sword Demon Avatar contained monstrous sword intent, and it managed to protect him from the suppression of the spatial energy for a while, making him the strongest of them all.
Everyone put their hopes in Dugu Bupo’s attack.
Chu Kuangren glanced at it and did something that surprised everyone.
With a thought, the Infinity Domain was called off.
The spatial energy that pressured everyone disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they quickly became confused.
Why did Chu Kuangren dismiss the Infinity Domain?
“Use your best sword technique,” Chu Kuangren said to Dugu Bupo.
A sudden realization struck everyone.
He was giving Dugu Bupo a chance to use his most powerful sword technique.
“Is he looking down on Dugu Bupo?”
“How arrogant.”
“Is he planning to defeat Dugu Bupo with a sword technique?”
Everyone was taking guesses.
Even though they hated to admit it, they were impressed by Chu Kuangren’s demeanor.
On the other hand, Dugu Bupo’s expression turned bitter. A frosty killing intent flashed in his eyes. “Chu Kuangren, are you mocking me?”
“I’m mocking you. I’m just too strong,” Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
He did not mean to insult anyone.
After all, why would a dragon make the effort to insult a worm?
He would never.
“Fine. Fine.”
Dugu Bupo was so furious that he laughed. He channeled all his strength, and the energy of the Sword Demon Avatar behind him surged.
Then, he unleashed a heaven-shattering slash.
“Chu Kuangren, take this!”
“Sword Dao Demon, Silencer Slash!”
The Sword Demon Avatar raised its sword into the sky and slashed downward. The sword contained the galaxy and rumbling Sword Dao energy.
The immensely powerful energy left a massive crack in the sky as if it had slashed the sky and the land in half.
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren wielded the Heaven Divide Sword.
He narrowed his eyes, and a vast sword intent rose. In that instance, all things enveloped by the sword qi trembled in fear.
A more terrifying destructive qi than the Sword Twenty-three energy erupted.
It was…
“Sword Twenty-four!”
When Sword Twenty-four was cast, heaven and earth were showered by the endless sword ray.
The moment Sword Twenty-four and the Sword Dao Demon, sword intent exploded like a storm, and more than half of Nine Ways Spirit World was turned into a world of swords.
“Retreat!”
“Oh my god! What sword technique is this?”
Gu Chan, Ao Qingtian, and the others rapidly retreated, afraid they would be caught in the blast.
They were horrified by the clash of extreme sword techniques.
Amidst the endless sword ray, the Sword Demon Avatar slowly disintegrated inch by inch.
A person covered in blood and sword ray was blasted away, crashing through a dozen mountains, leveling them to the ground and causing a dust storm.
Dugu Bupo’s heavily injured body trembled in the rubble. His body was covered with more than a hundred wounds, not a part of his body was intact.
Blood flowing out from his body formed a bloodbath around him.
Dugu Bupo breathed heavily. His heart pounded, and the excruciating pain put a scowl on his face.
He was in deep shock.
“Sword Twenty-four?”
“How is this even possible? The Holy Spirit Sword Art only has twenty-three techniques, so how could there be a Twenty-four? Impossible! Wait… It’s possible…”
A sudden realization hit Dugu Bupo as he thought of something, and his eyes widened.
He thought about what the Divine Sword Palace Ruler had told him earlier.
Sword Twenty-Three of the Holy Spirit Sword Art was not the end. The Holy Spirit Sword Art was just the superior sword technique practiced by all at the Divine Sword Palace.
More importantly, the technique varied depending on its user. Different people could have different mastery over the technique.
Theoretically, it could keep increasing as long as the user was powerful enough.
Above Sword Twenty-three, there could be Sword Twenty-four or Sword Twenty-five.
The key would be how the user comprehended the technique.
“The Divine Sword Palace Ruler once said that if I can comprehend Sword Twenty-four, I will become a Sword Dao Monarch in the future. However, I haven’t achieved it, and Chu Kuangren has beat me to it. How? How did he do it? I have cultivated the Holy Spirit Sword Art for so long, and he beat me?
“My talent in Sword Dao should be the strongest in the Sword Universe. How could I lose to the likes of Chu Kuangren? Impossible!”
Dugu Bupo felt aggrieved.
Chu Kuangren looked at Dugu Bupo, whose expression shifted multiple times. He looked calm as he said condescendingly, “I said I can beat you whenever I want. Look, it only took me one slash.”
His words fueled Dubu Bupo’s grievance.
Dugu Bupo had lost at his own game, the Sword Dao that he took pride in.
Chu Kuangren then looked at the others and said, “Jiufang Tribe is under my protection now. Whoever touches them will be my enemy. Does anyone want to give it a try? You? Or you?”
He glanced over the others.
Those who met his gaze retreated instinctively. Some dared not even look at him, including Monarch Seeds like Gu Chan and Ao Qingtian.
All of them averted his gaze.
Wherever his sword pointed, people surrendered.
“So, are these the Divine Bachelor and Divine Maiden of the current era?” Chu Kuangren scoffed. “All of you are useless except me.”
Chu Kuangren’s arrogance infuriated all of them, but they were helpless.
The strength Chu Kuangren displayed was on another level, and he was not even a Supreme Honorable.
He was one man and one sword, yet he managed to beat all of them.
What a monster.
“So, are you done watching? Not planning to join the fun?” Chu Kuangren said all of a sudden as he looked into the void.
Everyone else was confused.
Was someone else present?
That was when a white figure emerged from the void. It was a woman with a tulle veil on her face. Her appearance lit up the entire field.
“It’s her, Mingyue Wuxia!”
It was the one ranked first on the Divine Maiden Leaderboard, Mingyue Wuxia.
Dugu Bupo, Ao Qingtian, and the others reacted grimly to her arrival.
To think she concealed herself so well that no one other than Chu Kuangren noticed her.
Her moves were terrifying.
“Brother Chu, your strength is fascinating. I got carried away.” Mingyue Wuxia chuckled.
The wind fluttered her dress as her laughter echoed.
It charmed everyone instantly.
