“It seems like you’ve left me with no choice.”
A cold gaze shot out from Xiao Jingchen’s eyes, and he was seen retracting his pike.
Just when Murong Xuan thought his opponent was ceasing the battle, a terrifying Emperor’s Aura erupted from Xiao Jingchen’s body.
The sheer power of this aura shook Murong Xuan back several hundred meters.
“This aura is…” A grim expression etched on Murong Xuan’s face as he stared at Xiao Jingchen.
That was when a long black spear started to slowly take form in his opponent’s hand. That spear was the source of this Emperor’s Aura!
It was an Emperor Weapon!!
Everybody watching the battle was shocked.
“An Emperor Weapon! That’s an Emperor Weapon!”
“I didn’t expect him to have an Emperor Weapon. This man not only has the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, but he even has an Emperor Weapon in his arsenal!”
“I know this guy. He’s the Young Master of the Bai clan in Nine Heavens, Xiao Jingchen!”
“Tsk tsk, the Bai clan… an archaic clan. Even so, it’s way too much for a sky-pride to be in possession of an Emperor Weapon, isn’t it?”
“Perhaps the weapon was his own Opportunity of Fortune…”
The crowd began to exchange their opinions.
Besides Emperor Road’s local sky-prides, the crowd also consisted of a number of sky-prides from the Nine Heavens and Firmament Star.
Quite a few of them had placings on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.
For instance, Zhan Hongying, Tuba, and others.
When Zhan Hongying saw Xiao Jingchen pull out an Emperor Weapon, she could not help but pout. “Isn’t this guy a little too unreasonable? Not only is he the host of the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, but he even has an Emperor Weapon. He is clearly bullying his opponent at this point.”
“Tsk tsk. It looks like that it really depends on who this Daoist Physique falls into the hands of. This Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique is an absolute waste in the hands of this Xiao Jingchen. He can’t even beat a Crimson Sun Daoist Physique. I reckon he must be the most useless Heavenly Imperial Physique that history has ever seen.” Tuba also could not resist mocking him.
Nevertheless, Xiao Jingchen could not care less.
He held onto the Emperor Weapon while tremendous amounts of Heavenly Golden qi surged behind him, turning into a giant Heavenly Imperial Avatar.
“Destroy him!!”
Xiao Jingchen cried out and thrust the Emperor Weapon in his grip toward Murong Xuan.
The might of the Emperor Weapon and Heavenly Imperial instantly locked onto Murong Xuan!
“You want me to admit defeat just like that? Think again!!”
Murong Xuan growled, and searing flames continued flowing out the surface of his body.
A more dazzling flame coursed on his Blazing Sun Sword.
The moment he struck out his sword, the scorching sword qi transformed almost into a sea of fire, which shrouded the horizon and surged violently toward his opponent’s spear strength.
Nonetheless, it was never that easy to fend off an Emperor Weapon’s might.
The spear energy pierced through the sea of fire and rushed to Murong Xuan!
Right at this perilous moment, an incredibly terrifying, bitingly cold energy surrounded the entire place.
“This energy… It’s him!!”
Zhang Hongying, Tuba, and the rest of the Firmament Star sky-prides’ eyes narrowed. They stared toward the far side all at once.
What met their sights was a sword ray which pelted up into the sky and radiated with magnificent brilliance!
The sword qi was so right that within an instant, it crossed thousands of kilometers and landed on Xiao Jingchen’s spear light!
In the blink of an eye, the spear light was shattered!
Yet, the sword qi retained its piercing momentum, surging further forward with force. Its aim was on Xiao Jingchen!
“Chu Kuangren!!”
Terror was seen in Xiao Jingchen’s eyes.
In face of that incoming sword qi, he let out a roar that urged his spiritual power to the extreme.
Both the Heavenly Imperial Avatar’s hands grabbed at that sword qi!
However, at the moment of contact, the Heavenly Imperial Avatar’s hands were both chopped off!
In a split second, this powerful Daoist Transformation that was unique to the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique stood no chance to this sword qi!
“Break!!”
Xiao Jingchen thrust his Emperor Weapon out!
The sword clashed with the spear with a loud clang, and an incredibly strong impact erupted.
As such, Xiao Jingchen was blasted out several kilometers before smashing onto a faraway mountain range. He was utterly humiliated.
It was just a single sword technique, yet he could not defend himself from it at all, and he was mortally wounded within an instant!
He raised his hand to shield his eyes and stared into the distance, only to see a white-robed figure with black hair walking toward him across the air.
With a peerless yet imposing stance and sharp, domineering eyes, he was the demon that had been haunting Xiao Jingchen!
“Chu Kuangren!!”
“It really is him. He has come to the Emperor Road too!”
Xiao Jingchen was not surprised.
Still, he had spent an entire year focusing on his cultivation, improving by quite a great margin, yet he was not able to withstand even one sword technique from his opponent. This was huge of a blow for him.
Zhan Hongying, Touba, and the others watched Chu Kuangren with terror-stricken expressions as well.
As for those local sky-prides of Emperor Road who did not know Chu Kuangren, they were utterly astonished when they saw how heavily injured Xiao Jingchen was in a single sword technique.
“Is he for real? That was the Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique, yet he beat it with only one sword technique??”
“Who is this guy? How does he have such terrifying combat strength?”
“I don’t think even outlawed sky-prides have that kind of power.”
All the sky-prides at the scene began to discuss what they had just seen.
The Heavenly Golden Imperial Physique had a great reputation. Besides, Xiao Jingchen also had an Emperor Weapon in his possession, so it would be unrealistic even for an outlawed sky-pride to defeat him with one hit alone.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren did it.
Just like that, he stood over thousands of kilometers out, threw out a sword strike, and effortlessly wounded his opponent!
“I didn’t want to interfere with your battle with Murong Xuan. However, pulling out an Emperor Weapon in battle is just too much.”
Chu Kuangren remarked calmly as he stared at Xiao Jingchen with a bitter coldness in his eyes.
Even him, the owner of several Emperor Weapons, would never have pulled them out when fighting a fellow sky-pride.
Of course, none of his fellow sky-prides justified the need for him to use his Emperor Weapons either.
“Chu Kuangren, what the hell do you want?”
Xiao Jingchen took a deep breath. He knew that he was not Chu Kuangren’s match despite having an Emperor Weapon with him.
“That Supreme Elixir, we want it.”
“Alright.”
Xiao Jingchen nodded. He expressed no intention of competing with Chu Kuangren.
“At least you know your place.”
Chu Kuangren could not be bothered to pursue this matter further with a guy like him.
Just then, a red light shot into the sky.
That red light approached the crowd with great speed, and a ruthless domineering aura got closer as well.
Those with slightly weaker cultivation were already breaking into a cold sweat.
A curvy, redhead woman in bright red armor arrived atop of the crowd.
This woman commanded an atmosphere of reverence. She scanned the surroundings with her pretty bright eyes, with which nobody dared to look at her directly.
“It’s her! Bai Hongyu from the Bai clan!”
“Bai Hongyu, one of the outlawed sky-prides. Her combat strength has reached such an unattainable level even for the older generation elites.”
“It seems like she has come for the Enchanted Forest Realm as well.”
The crowd was extremely surprised at her presence.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren was scrutinizing this Bai Hongyu lady in front of him while his Eye of Revelation worked its magic.
Her cultivation level, techniques, and so on were projected before Chu Kuangren’s eyes.
As the first-ever outlawed sky-pride that Chu Kuangren had encountered, her strength was truly commendable. She was even stronger than some of the Boundary Emperors.
“Interesting. This outlawed sky-pride might finally be the one who could surprise me.”
Chu Kuangren’s mouth raised into a grin.
Bai Hongyu’s gaze fell upon Chu Kuangren as well, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes. “So you’re Chu Kuangren?!”
She had heard Xiao Jingchen mentioning Chu Kuangren before back in the Nine Heavens.
“Yes, that is me!”
“I hope you’re ready to take on one of my attacks!”
As soon as Bai Hongyu finished her sentence, a red light circled her, and tremendous spiritual power gushed out continuously from her body.
“Not to mention one attack, even with tens or hundreds of your attacks, I’d still be standing. So what can you do to me?”
Chu Kuangren crossed his arms and stood arrogantly with his black hair swaying to the rhythm of the breeze.
“Very well. I’d like to see how powerful a Supreme Sage really is!!”
Bai Hongyu cried out in her feminine voice, then lifted one arm to amass spiritual qi from the surroundings.
Once she placed down her palm, horrifying strength qi spread out in all directions, transforming into a giant red palm print, which struck down from the sky above!
