“All of you should attack together,” Chu Kuangren gazed upon the group of people.
Upon hearing his words, Jiu Yan, Wang Quan, and the rest of the group were furious. Meanwhile, the remaining sky-prides were all scared speechless.
The Emperor Road has never had someone who desired to take on all the outlawed sky-prides solo.
The crowd shuddered to think of what sight that would be.
“Very bold of you, Chu Kuangren. Your skills may outclass everyone here, but don’t you think challenging all the outlawed sky-prides alone is way too cocky?!”
Jiu Yan growled fiercely. His enormous body then swiftly reduced in size, turning into a handsome golden-robed young man.
Even in his human form, Jiu Yan’s body was still emitting a violent, ferocious qi that was unique to wild beasts.
“Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe… I didn’t expect to see one of you here.”
Chu Kuangren said as he threw Jiu Yan a side-glance.
“Oh, so you’ve encountered other Nine-Headed Snakelets before me?”
“Yes. I’ve killed one previously.”
Upon hearing this, Jiu Yan’s expression immediately turned sullen.
After all, as archaic ancient beasts, the Nine-Headed Snakelet’s population was not abundant, to begin with. Whenever one was killed, their number would only dwindle further.
Chu Kuangren’s bold act of killing a Nine-Headed Snakelet was undoubtedly equivalent to waging war against the entire Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe.
“If such, you shall be punished for your crimes!” Without explaining further, Jiu Yan immediately threw out the first strike.
He unleashed a fist technique, where two distinct colors of red and blue light circulated around his fist. A surge of terrifying Water- and Fire-based Daoist Rhyme broke out from his fist and headed toward Chu Kuangren.
Nine-Headed Snakelets were masters at bending Water and Fire energy.
When it came to Water and Fire Dao, not many tribes could compare themselves with the Nine-Headed Snakelet Tribe.
Facing the Water- and Fire-based Daoist Rhyme that was fast approaching him, Chu Kuangren’s expression did not change one bit. Instead, he raised his arm and drew out his sword. Purple sword rays glided across the air like meteors, slashing away at the Water and Fire energy before continuing its way toward Jiu Yan in a straight line.
“Truly remarkable!”
Jiu Yan let out a low growl, then held his fingers tight into a fist. The punch that he threw out next was made of the cleanest and purest raw strength.
Jiu Yan surprisingly shattered the purple sword ray. Although he was pushed back several dozen meters, he did not sustain any damage at all.
“An archaic ancient wild beast’s physical body is said to be a weapon in itself.”
Chu Kuangren commented plainly, and a look of curiosity flashed in his eyes. “I just wonder whether it’s stronger or weaker than my Supreme Sage body.”
At that thought, he put the Descendant Self Sword away before looking up and stepping forward.
Boom!
His movements sent the entire space into a loud boom.
The sound produced was from neither spiritual power nor Daoist Rhyme, but from his purest raw strength, which had clashed with the air particles.
“What?!”
The Nine-Headed Snakelet’s pupils narrowed.
How could a human cultivator have such a horrific flesh body?!
Jiu Yan was not even given much time to think before Chu Kuangren was already in front of him. With a punch, a buzz echoed in the void in his surroundings.
Jiu Yan crossed his arms in front of him to block it.
An incredibly majestic force erupted, and Jiu Yan felt as if the bones in his two arms were about to be shattered.
“What the hell!”
Jiu Yan let out a painful squeal. His two arms trembled incessantly at the shock that Chu Kuangren’s punch was able to blast him back several hundred meters.
“Is that all your flesh body is capable of?”
Chu Kuangren dashed toward him again, covering over a hundred meters distance within a second. In a split second, he threw a thunderous kick at him. The space between them howled, and a gust of wind swept out.
This kick was too quick and too hard!
Jiu Yan could not dodge it in time, and the kick landed on his head brutally. He was sent flying backward like a loose cannon before his body smashed onto a canyon not far away. With a bang, the entire canyon wall crumbled, collapsing several hundred meters inward. Cracks began to spread all over the wall like spider webs.
It had only been moments ago since Chu Kuangren began using his raw strength to fight Jiu Yan.
Nevertheless, the raw strength that he had showcased dumbfounded every sky-pride at the scene. None of them could believe what they had just witnessed.
The raw strength of an almighty archaic ancient beast had been overpowered!!
Since the beginning of time, an archaic ancient wild beast’s raw strength had always been something that every cultivator dreamt of.
Without spiritual power or divine powers, they could dominate the realm with raw strength alone.
There had never been a cultivator who dared to battle a wild beast using raw strength only. Even cultivators who specialize in cultivating their physique would not attempt that. It was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world.
Yet now, Chu Kuangren has broken this rule in front of everybody with just a punch and a kick.
He proved that human cultivators could use their physical bodies to oppress wild beasts too!!
“What a freak!!”
Bai Hongyu, Xiao Jingchen, and the others could not help but exclaim.
“I am going to rip your lungs out!!”
From a distance, Jiu Yan, who had crashed into the canyon, let out a furious scowl. Then, an incredibly magnificent Water and Fire energy poured out from his body.
This terrifying Water and Fire energy spread out rapidly, disintegrating everything around him!
“Water and Fire Divine Power, Lava Snake!!”
Jiu Yan howled in fury, and a crimson flame erupted into a huge fire python, which bit its way furiously toward Chu Kuangren.
The sheer power from this attack alone was almost equivalent to the top-notch Boundary Emperors.
Chu Kuangren grinned and said with a smile, “You can’t beat me in physicality, yet you want to play the cultivation level game? Oh well. I’m still going to crush you anyway!”
With the lift of an arm, immense spiritual qi surged toward him like ocean waves.
When he unleashed a palm technique, the cultivators at the scene were overwhelmed with grief.
It was the Emperor Technique, the Palm of Sorrow!
The strength from the Palm of Sorrow instantly smashed a good half of the fire python broken. Its dreadful strength qi continued radiating in all directions, forcing the cultivators in its proximity to use their spiritual power to defend themselves.
“What kind of Dao does this guy cultivate? How does he manage to muster such terrifying power by using completely different classes of techniques?”
The group of outlawed sky-prides stared at Chu Kuangren, feeling somewhat baffled.
As outlawed sky-prides, they had already discovered their own respective Daos, much like other Boundary Emperors.
Logically speaking, only techniques that were compatible with their Dao could exhibit their powers’ maximum potential. This was why Boundary Emperors would much rather use their own self-created Boundary Emperor Techniques instead of Emperor Techniques. The same could be said about these outlawed sky-prides.
However, Chu Kuangren had been using several types of techniques, and he was somehow able to unleash terrifying combat strengths through each one of those. This made the crowd completely dazed as to which kind of Dao he specialized in.
Jiu Yan could not care less about which Dao Chu Kuangren cultivated anymore. His attacks had been destroyed by his opponent, and he had taken the brunt of the impact by getting blasted several hundred meters backward. As such, he roared fiercely and activated his divine power once more. “Water and Fire Divine Power, Lava Snake, Aqua Tiger!!”
Water- and Fire-based Daoist Rhyme manifested in the sky, transforming into a giant fire python and a menacing water tiger.
Two gushes of terrifying energy waves flanked Chu Kuangren from both left and right, biting their way toward his direction.
“Sword qi clones!”
Even in face of such a tricky technique, Chu Kuangren remained composed as usual.
A streak of sword qi manifested on his body. To everyone’s amazement, it agglomerated into a sword qi clone that looked identical to him.
Chu Kuangren and the sword qi clone both drew out a sword strike simultaneously, neutralizing Jiu Yan’s attack effortlessly.
“A cloning technique?!”
“Yet another class of technique. Also, the power of his clone is so strong that it can take on Jiu Yan’s attack.”
The more the crowd watched on, the more unpredictable Chu Kuangren was to him.
Amongst all outlawed sky-prides, Jiu Yan was considered one of the strongest.
Yet, despite giving his all, he was not able to gain any high ground in his battle with Chu Kuangren. On the contrary, Chu Kuangren looked pretty relaxed ever since the battle began.
