Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 439: Ten Thousand Cautious Guards, Can You Run From My Five Fingers Mountain?

From My Five Fingers Mountain?

“She’s accompanied by… Chu Kuangren!”

The palace guard stuttered. The mention of Chu Kuangren’s name had evoked a deep sense of fear within him.

The elder aside was stunned too, so much that the jadestone unconsciously slipped from his hands. With a clang, it broke into several pieces upon landing on the ground.

“Chu Kuangren’s here?! Why’s he here?”

The white-haired elder and Yun Changfeng were frightened.

The palace guard muttered to himself, “For starters, you’ve stripped this kingdom away from his wife’s family. How are you not expecting him to come?”

“Oh, that’s right, quick! Hurry and bring Gu Qing here.”

Yun Changfeng thought of a plan and hastily instructed the palace guard.

Gu Qing was the name of Gu Linglong’s father.

After occupying the Royal Azure Dynasty, Yun Changfeng did not kill Gu Qing and the rest of his family. Instead, he had them locked up after forcing them to consume a secret medicine that impaired their combat abilities. It was in hopes that these prisoners could one day be put to good use.

It seemed like this day had arrived faster than expected.

“Elder, you need not worry. Chu Kuangren is still under the Heavenly Punishment Seal, so he isn’t a threat. All we need to do is to deal with Gu Linglong.”

Yun Changfeng said to the elder.

Only then did the elder manage to calm himself down and forced a smile on his face. “That’s right. Chu Kuangren’s no longer a threat.”

Despite the self-reassurance, the elder was still feeling uneasy.

After all, it was Chu Kuangren they were talking about!

In the palace’s compound, tens of thousands of palace guards surrounded Chu Kuangren and his two other companions.

Chu Kuangren was leading at the front.

With his elegant sword strapped to his waist, Chu Kuangren carried a composed demeanor as he approached the grand hall nonchalantly.

The entire troop of palace guards retreated step by step. None of them dared to charge at Chu Kuangren.

Even though the palace guards noticed the absence of spiritual energies around Chu Kuangren, they could not muster the courage to halt him.

It was an interesting scene to witness ten thousand palace guards be intimidated by an ordinary person who could no longer use his spiritual energy.

“Chu Kuangren, this is the royal palace. We shall not tolerate your behavior!” a palace guard’s commander yelled. He was personally handpicked by Yun Changfeng to fill this spot. Hence, his loyalty towards the ruler was unlike any others.

Chu Kuangren played dumb and did not even bother to look at the commander.

Infuriated by Chu Kuangren’s disrespect, the commander withdrew his long sword, channeled his spiritual energy, and launched himself at Chu Kuangren.

However, before his long sword could reach Chu Kuangren, a ray of white light immediately struck the commander. In a split second, the commander’s body flew a hundred meters away and bashed into a palace wall.

“Chu Kuangren, Gu Linglong, I command thee to halt your actions!”

An abrupt voice interrupted the scene.

Yun Changfeng and the Craggy Ocean Tower’s elder appeared.

They were initially frightened by the sight of Chu Kuangren. However, when they noticed that Chu Kuangren did not emit a single ounce of spiritual energy, the duo rejoiced and heaved huge sighs of relief.

“Chu Kuangren, I didn’t think you’d dare venture beyond the Black Heaven Sect’s territories. And Gu Linglong, I wasn’t planning to harm you at all had you not returned, but it seems you were foolish enough to return.”

Yun Changfeng smirked triumphantly.

With the lift of his hand, a ferocious bestial soul appeared above him. “If that’s the case, allow me to fulfill your favor.”

The wild bestial soul then charged towards Gu Linglong.

Beside Gu Linglong, Chu Kuangren observed his attack and commented, “Oh, it looks like the Craggy Ocean Tower is here too.”

Gu Linglong greeted the incoming wild bestial souls with her long sword. Its blade was carved with the depiction of a bright lunar moon.

With the swing of her sword, the sword ray curved like a crescent moon, sending the beast howling in pain before it was sliced into half.

The energy contained within her attack already resembled that of a peak Boundary Sage.

For the past three years that Gu Linglong had been in the Black Heaven Sect, she did not merely occupy herself with house chores. Gu Linglong had also spent considerable effort in improving her skills.

In fact, her abilities were more or less on par with the sky-prides who were enlisted in the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.

“What?!”

Yun Changfeng was shocked. The Craggy Ocean Bestial Soul that it took him so hard to earn had been destroyed by Gu Linglong in one sword move!

It was not even a close fight!

“You sure have big words for a treasonous thief!”

Gu Linglong snorted.

“Elder, please help me.” Knowing that he was incapable of defeating Gu Linglong, Yun Changfeng begged the Craggy Ocean Tower’s elder for help.

The white-haired elder took a glance at Gu Linglong and said, “Hmph, she’s just a petty little girl who isn’t even a Sage yet. Rest assured that she’ll be done within seconds.”

Then, the elder lifted his hands and unleashed a strong burst of Daoist Rhymes. A giant golden eagle suddenly appeared above them. It was the elder’s Craggy Ocean Bestial Soul, and it possessed the ability equivalent to that of a Sage.

“If you dare make another move, I’ll make sure it’ll be the end of you and the entire Craggy Ocean Tower.” Chu Kuangren finally spoke.

The elder was initially frightened by Chu Kuangren’s abrupt threat.

However, he soon burst into a peal of laughter as if Chu Kuangren’s words were a joke. “Chu Kuangren, who are you kidding? Do you think you’re still the same undefeatable cultivator from three years ago?”

“The Heavenly Punishment Seal has chained you. You can’t even use an ounce of your spiritual energy! How different are you from an ordinary person? You wish to destroy the Craggy Ocean Tower? Stop joking around. Do you think the forces involved in the great war will just let you roam around freely? It’ll be a few more days before you’ll be fighting for your own life.”

As soon as the elder said that, he immediately commanded the golden eagle to dive ferociously towards Chu Kuangren.

He planned on getting rid of Chu Kuangren first.

“Well, you reap what you sow.”

Chu Kuangren said as he shook his head. After that, he lifted his hands and activated his spiritual thought. The surrounding spiritual energy then formed into lines of runic symbols, which then transformed into a boundlessly powerful golden greatsword.

The runic greatsword swung outwards and instantly slashed the ferocious golden eagle in half. Meanwhile, the remaining sword qi struck the elder, sending him flying into the grand palace hall.

“How’s that possible?!”

“Could it be that Chu Kuangren has unlocked the Heavenly Punishment Seal?!”

The white-haired elder was mortified.

If Chu Kuangren had indeed broken the seal, the elder was no match for him, not even if he had ten times the power!

At that thought, the elder no longer intended to fight Chu Kuangren. He broke through the palace’s dome and flew into the distance.

The elder wanted to escape!

Chu Kuangren chuckled and extended his fingers. For a moment, it appeared as if Chu Kuangren was grasping onto the entire fabrics of this realm.

As his formless mind power extended outwards, its energy manifested as a giant formless palm that grabbed the white-haired elder while he was in mid-air.

“Trying to run? Can you run from my Five Fingers Mountain?”

Chu Kuangren taunted before he proceeded to clench his fist. The white-haired elder did not even have the chance to wail before he was crushed into a blood mist!

It was a terrifying scene for all of the witnesses!

They had not picked up any form of spiritual energies from Chu Kuangren from the beginning. Hence, they had no clue what methods Chu Kuangren had used to kill the elder.

The mystery only added to Chu Kuangren’s intimidation.
