Chapter 311: Can’t Stand It

Lujiang Qu’s expression froze.

Originally, the power of the Blood Spirit Puppet, combined with the strength of the Giant Sword Sect’s top Elders, should have been enough to finish off Hu Yidao and Elder Li.

More than enough!

But he never expected Chu Kuangren to appear out of nowhere and even figure out the Blood Spirit Puppet’s weakness.

’This is bad.’

"Lujiang Qu, prepare to die!"

Hu Yidao summoned a black saber and hacked at Lujiang Qu like a madman!

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Black arcs of saber light split the air, forcing Lujiang Qu into a steady retreat.

It was clear that Hu Yidao had lost his mind.

Elder Li glanced at Nian Jiu. "Let’s make our move. We’ll keep Silver Sword and Golden Sword busy so they can’t activate the Blood Spirit Puppet."

"Right!"

Nian Jiu and Elder Li strode toward Golden Sword and Silver Sword, simultaneously striking out with Palm Seals.

RUMBLE!

The entire Giant Sword Sect began to tremble.

Golden Sword shouted, "Silver Sword, you handle them! I’ll control the Blood Spirit Puppet and kill them!"

"Am I just invisible to you?"

Chu Kuangren raised a hand, and a terrifying Palm Force slammed down on the Blood Spirit Puppet.

"You..."

Golden Sword’s face fell. He frantically tried to activate the Blood Spirit Puppet, but no matter how hard he tried, it was pinned down completely by Chu Kuangren.

Golden Sword panicked.

Chu Kuangren sneered, "I told you already. Trash like you don’t deserve to possess the Blood Spirit Puppet. In the hands of wastes like you, a powerful Treasure like this can’t even display half of its potential."

BOOM!

Chu Kuangren struck again, driving the Blood Spirit Puppet straight into the ground and completely immobilizing it.

"Golden Sword, get over here and help!"

Silver Sword roared.

BANG!

The moment Golden Sword turned, he saw Silver Sword sent flying by a joint attack from Elder Li and Nian Jiu, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting up blood.

The impact smashed a large crater into the ground.

"Silver Sword..."

Golden Sword cried out in alarm.

However, just as he moved to help, Chu Kuangren’s attention fell upon him. "Old man, you’d better worry about yourself!"

BOOM!

After a deafening blast, Golden Sword was on the ground, his face deathly pale as he coughed up blood. His entire body convulsed as if struck by lightning.

Freed from Golden Sword and Silver Sword’s control, the Blood Spirit Puppet climbed out of the hole, its eyes filled with confusion.

"Lujiang Qu, Golden Sword and Silver Sword have been defeated. You should just surrender,"

Hu Yidao taunted.

Lujiang Qu glanced back at the fallen forms of Golden Sword and Silver Sword, and his face darkened.

’It’s completely over.’

Hu Yidao pointed his saber at Lujiang Qu. "Lujiang Qu, I’ll give you one last chance. Kneel and surrender, or I will cut you into a thousand pieces."

"Hmph," Lujiang Qu snorted defiantly. "Even if I die in battle here and my soul is scattered, I will never kneel and surrender to you. You can forget about it."

Hu Yidao tried to reason with him. "Sigh... Why must you be like this? As the saying goes, a bad life is better than a good death. As long as you kneel, I’ll spare you. I’ll just cripple your Cultivation and let you live as a peaceful, ordinary person."

"Stop talking! I will never agree!"

Lujiang Qu refused.

Hu Yidao’s voice turned cold. "In that case, I’m afraid I have no choice. I must kill you to prevent any future problems."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Lujiang Qu fought back with the desperation of a cornered animal. They exchanged dozens of blows, but neither could gain an advantage.

Chu Kuangren finally couldn’t watch anymore. "Hu Yidao, are you a complete waste?" he demanded.

"Me?"

Hu Yidao’s face froze.

Chu Kuangren appeared beside Hu Yidao. "Open your eyes and watch carefully," he said with cold arrogance. "This is what a true Martial Emperor Powerhouse can do."

With that, Chu Kuangren raised his hand and struck at Lujiang Qu.

"What!"

Lujiang Qu’s face fell.

The power behind that punch was terrifying, like a meteor falling from the sky. He wouldn’t be able to block it even if he used every last bit of his strength.

The suffocating presence of death instantly filled Lujiang Qu’s heart.

High in the void...

Elder He, watching the battle, remarked indifferently, "Is it over already? It seems I won’t need to make a move after all."

However, just when everyone believed Lujiang Qu was doomed and the Giant Sword Sect was about to be wiped out, a figure stepped forward.

BAM!

The figure blocked Chu Kuangren’s ferocious punch, effortlessly neutralizing it.

Hmm?

Chu Kuangren was inwardly startled.

’Someone actually dared to interfere.’

Chu Kuangren narrowed his eyes and looked down, his own eyes nearly popping out in shock. "A little brat? What the hell is this?"

"A little brat?"

Everyone present stared in shock at the boy standing before Chu Kuangren.

He really was just a little brat.

What was even more shocking was that this little brat had managed to block a devastating punch from Chu Kuangren, who was at the Martial Emperor Perfection Realm.

"That’s... Xiao Dong!"

Thunder Punishment and Elder Wen, lying in pools of their own blood, stared at Xiao Dong in utter shock.

Lujiang Qu was also stunned.

He had thought Su Mo was the one who had saved him; he never expected it to be the youngest of them, Xiao Dong.

Xiao Dong asked while munching on a chicken leg, "Hey, big guy, you’ve gone too far."

"Get lost!"

Chu Kuangren said contemptuously.

’So what if I’ve gone too far?’ he thought. ’Since when is it a little brat’s place to meddle in my affairs?’

Chu Kuangren said coldly, "If you don’t get lost right now, I’ll kick you so hard I’ll split your butt in two."

BOOM!

Chu Kuangren activated his Realm, erupting with terrifying pressure, ready to teach Xiao Dong a lesson at any moment.

Seeing this, Lujiang Qu hastily warned, "Young Master Xiao Dong, you must retreat! That man is at the Martial Emperor Perfection Realm!"

He was very grateful to Xiao Dong.

If Xiao Dong hadn’t blocked Chu Kuangren’s violent punch, he would be a dead man right now.

But that didn’t mean Xiao Dong was a match for Chu Kuangren.

"Is Martial Emperor Perfection that strong?"

Xiao Dong asked, gnawing on his chicken leg.

Lujiang Qu gave a bitter smile.

’If it wasn’t strong, he wouldn’t have been able to knock me down.’

Lujiang Qu pleaded, "Young Master Xiao Dong, please, just retreat for now. We can talk about this later."

"No!"

Xiao Dong refused.

What?

Everyone stared at Xiao Dong, completely stunned.

The kid was actually refusing to back down.

’Is he actually going to fight Chu Kuangren?’

Xiao Dong turned to face Chu Kuangren. "Big guy, I didn’t want to fight you, but I can’t stand watching you bully Sect Leader Lu."

"So, you want to stand up for Lujiang Qu?"

Chu Kuangren asked with a sneer.

Xiao Dong said, "Sect Leader Lu treated me to a chicken leg, and he helped our Young Master celebrate his birthday. A good person like that shouldn’t be bullied. I’ll forgive you, but only if you apologize to Sect Leader Lu and admit you were wrong."

"And if I refuse to apologize?"

Chu Kuangren watched Xiao Dong with amusement.

Xiao Dong replied innocently, "If you don’t apologize, then I won’t forgive you. And I’ll beat your head into a swollen pulp."

"Ha?"

Chu Kuangren was dumbfounded.

’Where did this little brat come from? He actually dares to threaten me.’

’Saying he won’t forgive me unless I apologize, and that he’s going to beat my head to a pulp.’

’What the hell, is this kid insane?’

’The sheer arrogance!’

Chu Kuangren was so furious he started to laugh. "I’ll warn you one last time: get lost. Otherwise, don’t blame me when I crush an ant like you."

"Big guy, why won’t you listen to reason?"

Xiao Dong sighed, affecting the tone of a world-weary old man. "Sigh. Since you insist on doing this the hard way instead of the easy way, I have no choice but to beat your head into a swollen pulp."
