Chapter 2259: Stalling Tactic Works, His Power is Weakening
"All you three clowns know is how to dodge. Take a slash from the Sect Leader if you have the nerves!"
"Monarchs like you three are a disgrace!"
"What a piece of garbage! This is my first time seeing such useless Monarchs."
The Pan Gu Sect's cultivators continued to curse.
The three Monarchs were more flustered than ever.
They were agitated as well. As Monarchs, they could have taken down Chu Kuangren easily. but they were forced into such an embarrassing position.
If the news got out, they would tarnish their reputations.
"Shut up!"
The Black Dragon King was infuriated when he heard the Pan Gu Sect calling him Black Worm King. He took a moment to attack them with his dragon qi.
The boundless dragon qi was powerful. It could kill all those beneath the Monarch Realm.
Unfortunately, the first place on the Supreme Honorable Leaderboard, Wine Honorable, stood before the Pan Gu Sect as their protector.
He raised his hand, and a stream of wine qi was blasted at the dragon qi.
Both qi canceled out each other upon clashing.
The Pan Gu Sect's cultivators gained even more confidence knowing that Wine Honorable was there to protect them, so they continued their cursing.
"Black worm, do you think you're that powerful? Come at me if you have the balls!"
"Garbage Monarch. The Dragon Tribe is over with you as their leader."
"Don't call yourself the Black Dragon King. You should change your name to the Black Worm King."
The Black Dragon King's expression turned grim.
He looked at Chu Kuangren coldly and said, "Can you tell your people to shut up? Cursing at us to affect us? Do you think it works?"
"I think it's working perfectly." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
As a matter of fact, the three Monarchs had heard of many more vicious comments and insults directed at them, but this time was different.
The Pan Gu Sect's cultivators were simply telling the truth.
Three Monarchs were acting like cowards in front of Chu Kuangren, a Grand Dao cultivator, scuttling left and right, not daring to fight him like a man.
It impacted their pride a lot.
The Pan Gu Sect's cultivators continued to amplify their insults.
"Die!"
Chu Kuangren stopped talking and attacked with the Dragonslayer.
The sharp crimson blade carried an intense rage qi, and when it slashed forward, the rage qi was aimed at the Black Dragon King.
The Black Dragon King wanted to dodge using his technique.
"Black Worm King, take it like a man and don't make us look down on you!"
Someone from the Pan Gu Sect spoke all of a sudden.
The Black Dragon King's expression turned grim at that insult, and he channeled his dragon qi into a terrifying strike. The Great Daoist law energy was blasted forward at the slash.
"Bang!"
The clash destroyed an area on the battlefield.
As the spiritual qi was shattered, it was as if everything had returned to chaos.
The boundless dragon rage qi attacked the Black Dragon King and spread across his body like cancer. The dragon rage qi corroded his Great Daoist law and even affected his Monarch's Heart.
The Monarch's Heart was the core of a Monarch.
"Black Worm King, you are a man! Don't try to dodge it anymore!"
The Pan Gu Sect's cultivators continued to provoke him.
Infuriated, he took the slash with force, and it shattered the defensive Supreme Treasure he had. He was also quite injured.
One more strike, and he might be at risk of dying, even though he was a Monarch.
"Black Dragon King, don't get affected!"
The Formation King's expression turned grim as he shouted at his ally.
The Black Dragon King nodded. "I understand."
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "This is a battle of life and death. No matter what we do, we must kill Chu Kuangren, even if the world criticizes us. Nothing matters except eliminating him!"
"You're right!"
"We cannot allow Chu Kuangren to live anymore!"
Chu Kuangren had grown strong enough to rival a Monarch. If he had more time, he would grow stronger.
If they did not kill him now, they might never have the chance anymore.
Hence, they set up a huge formation, gathered all their troops, and teamed up with each other just to fight Chu Kuangren.
If they could not kill him, they would be the laughingstock for eras to come.
They must kill him with all means necessary!
The three Monarchs strengthened their beliefs.
They no longer faced Chu Kuangren's attacks directly and simply stalled to drain his energy until he could not wield the Dragonslayer anymore.
As for the Pan Gu Sect's cultivators' verbal attacks, they turned a deaf ear and ignored them.
"This is going to be a problem."
Li Ju frowned.
Yang Mei looked worried as well. "If this continues, the Sect Leader will exhaust too much of his energy using the Ultimate-level divine weapon. When he can't wield it anymore, he might not be able to fight the three Monarchs."
The Heavenly Grandmaster was growing anxious. He continued to curse the three Monarchs, but they simply ignored him.
"The three of them are shameless. Our words won't work anymore," the Heavenly Grandmaster said helplessly.
It was unfortunate that they were too weak to intervene in a fight against the Monarchs.
The only one strong enough was Wine Honorable.
They all looked at him, hoping that he would assist Chu Kuangren.
However, Wine Honorable shook his head. "The little guy only wants me to protect you guys. As for the three Monarchs, he said he has a way to deal with them."
"That's three Monarchs that we are talking about!"
They looked more worried than before.
They had fun cursing the Monarchs, but they knew the Monarchs were powerful and not easily defeated.
Moreover, there were three of them!
If the fight dragged on, Chu Kuangren might be in danger.
"Senior, you don't need to care about us. Go and help the Sect Leader!"
"Yeah, Senior! Only you can help the Sect Leader now!"
Wine Honorable pursed his lips when he heard them. "Help? If I help him, who's going to protect you guys? Don't tell me you guys don't need protection. I know you guys would throw your lives away for that little guy.
"Have you ever thought about the little guy's feelings? If I stopped protecting you guys and all of you were taken hostage to threaten him, it would only put him in a more desperate situation. It would only make things worse."
Wine Honorable's words left them speechless.
They all knew Chu Kuangren well enough to know that he would never abandon them if they were taken hostage.
However, the situation would only be more dangerous for him.
"Is it because we're still too weak?" Lan Yu muttered.
"Now, all we can do is trust him and his abilities. You guys know the best, don't you?" the Wine Honorable said.
He looked at Chu Kuangren with anticipation. How much more could Chu Kuangren surprise him?
"Kakroom! Kakroom!"
Boundless energy rumbled in the void.
The three Monarchs were in a defensive and evasive state, trying to stall Chu Kuangren.
However, the power of the Dragonslayer was not something they could easily defend against.
After a few rounds of exchange, the three Monarchs were injured to a certain degree.
The Black Dragon King had a huge cut on his chest, with dragon blood gushing out like a waterfall.
The armor that the Dragon Hunter Leader wore was covered in cuts, and it started to look dim, which meant that the Hongmeng Supreme Treasure was on its last stretch.
As for the Formation King's powerful defensive formation, the nine palaces were destroyed multiple times, and he was running out of materials.
"How is it that his energy isn't depleted yet?"
The Black Dragon King looked at Chu Kuangren in fear. How could a Grand Dao cultivator use an Ultimate-level divine weapon for so long?
It was outrageous.
"Kaboom!"
Another saber ray shot out.
This time, the Dragon Hunter Leader blocked it with his attack, and his eyes gleamed with delight. He said, "His energy is weakening!"
