Chapter 718: Battle Against Jian Wuque, You Can't Stop This Blade
"Simple... To kill!"
Chu Kuangren uttered nonchalantly.
Jian Wuque was appalled by his answer. "Brother Chu, you can't possibly be referring to one of my Sword Tribe's members, right?!"
"Well, I am!"
"I've addressed you as my Daoist Brother because we're both cultivators of Firmament Star. Don't you know anything about returning respect?!"
Jian Wuque said coldly.
Chu Kuangren had come to kill one of his tribe members.
Regardless of the reason, Jian Wuque could not just sit by and watch.
"Oh, since when does the Sword Tribe know anything about respect?"
Chu Kuangren sneered before he glared straight at Jian Que. "I've saved your life before, but now it's time to take it back."
Instantly, Chu Kuangren swung his Self Descendant Sword forward and unleashed a brutal, unforgiving, purple sword ray towards Jian Que!
Jian Que was mortified. "Save me, Sword Imperial!"
However, Jian Wuque had already made his move as a dark longsword appeared in his hands.
With a swing of his sword, Jian Wuque's Emperor qi and Daoist pattern clashed with the purple sword ray.
In a blast, both their sword rays exploded and tore open a crack in the realm. Even fissures began to appear on the ground.
Chu Kuangren glared indifferently at Jian Wuque, with the Self Descendant Sword still in his hands. "He betrayed me after I saved his life. Are you sure you want to stop me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ha! After I saved his life, he went on to reveal mine and Shang Honghua's whereabouts to two Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials. Don't you think sc*ms like him deserve to die?!"
"Is it true?"
Jian Wuque asked Jian Que coldly.
"Sword Imperial, don't believe in his nonsense. He and the Sword Tribe have never gotten along. He's just looking for trouble because he has his eyes on our Chaos Emblems." Jian Que hastily denied.
Jian Wuque frowned and said to Chu Kuangren, "We need to investigate this further. Besides, even if Jian Que is in the wrong, he's a commander of the Sword Tribe. He will be punished according to the Sword Tribe's protocol."
"Too bad, his life belongs to me!"
Let the Sword Tribe manage it?
Chu Kuangren was way more eager to take care of this himself.
"Chu Kuangren, are you really that insistent on going against us?"
"So what if I am?!"
"Then don't blame me for what's about to come. I've been eager to fight you for a long time."
Jian Wuque wielded his dark sword with excitement. Since it was a battle between Heavenly Imperials, he expanded his miniverse.
Jian Wuque was not only a High-rank Heavenly Imperial, but he was also a sky-pride. His strong foundations were incomparable against those of most ordinary Heavenly Imperials as he possessed a High-grade Emperor Core and wielded the Epic-quality Dao.
As such, his miniverse was the most powerful Chu Kuangren had ever come across. It was even more powerful than Heavenly Imperial Su of the Heavenly Imperial Council.
"Interesting."
Chu Kuangren proceeded to expand his own miniverse as well.
However, as strong as his foundations may be, Chu Kuangren was still lacking in cultivation level. When the miniverses clashed, his miniverse was immediately overpowered by Jian Wuque's miniverse.
He frowned in frustration.
Then, Chu Kuangren recalled that in his previous battle against the Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials, one of them had shrunk his miniverse during the fight.
With that, he shrunk the size of his miniverse to a one meter radius and gathered his universal energies.
That way, he was able to create a safe space within Jian Wuque's miniverse and need not be overwhelmed by his power.
This move surprised Jian Wuque. "You haven't been a Heavenly Imperial for too long, yet you've managed to control your miniverse so well. What a rare sight."
He lifted his sword and charged towards Chu Kuangren, bringing with him an abyssal sword ray that could devour everything within its darkness.
Similarly, Chu Kuangren greeted Jian Wuque's attacks with his sword too.
His domineering sword ray seethed with his Invincible Technique's might, and the conjuration of a calamitous world displayed in the void.
As their sword rays clashed, Jian Wuque's sword ray was parried effortlessly by Chu Kuangren's formidable sword ray, and it forced him into retreat.
"Superb-grade Esoteric Technique?!"
Jian Wuque was shocked. As one of the greatest sky-prides of the Sword Tribe, he had only managed to cultivate a High-grade Esoteric Technique.
"His talents are remarkable! Only a few in the whole of Firmament Star's history possessed talents as impressive as his. Perhaps only the Human King could rival his achievements."
Jian Wuque thought to himself.
At that thought, he no longer saw Chu Kuangren as an ordinary Low-rank Heavenly Imperial. In fact, Chu Kuangren was now his equal.
Jian Wuque's Emperor qi and Daoist patterns once again intertwined as he discharged an even formidable aura and dashed right at Chu Kuangren!
"Esoteric Technique, Abyssal Realm Ripper!"
Jian Wuque swung his sword forward, bringing forth a dark sword ray, which countless Daoist patterns within it destroyed and devoured the realm around them!
That was his High-grade Esoteric Technique!
Seeing that, Chu Kuangren activated his Emperor qi, and his Daoist patterns manifested.
The Almighty Avatar was summoned majestically into the battlefield!
Myriads of Daoist Physiques' auras, Heavenly Punishment Daoist Patterns, and Emperor qi converged into a surge of mighty avatar energy that was unleashed in the form of a punch!
The entire realm imploded from the impact!
As the Almighty Avatar went head-to-head against Jian Wuque's abyssal sword ray, all of Asteroid Seven trembled in its impact.
Fissures that formed from the explosion covered half of the planet.
The surrounding Sword Tribe members, too, were blown away and mortified by the duo's calamitous display of energy.
"This is too strong! Is this how High-rank Heavenly Imperials fight?"
"Such terrifying power! Their Emperor qi, foundations, and Daoist patterns are all on a whole other level. We're so insignificant compared to them."
"Indeed..."
"I didn't think Chu Kuangren would last this long against the Sword Imperial. Is he really a Low-rank Heavenly Imperial?"
"No wonder he's been called a freak."
Boom, boom!
Chu Kuangren's Almighty Avatar incessantly clashed against Jian Wuque's sword qi, unleashing devastating impacts that shook the universe around them and shattered the void.
"Chu Kuangren, what a mighty opponent you are!"
Although Jian Wuque was shocked by Chu Kuangren's abilities, his eyes were burning with excitement as he had finally found a worthy opponent.
"Looks like I shouldn't hold back any longer!"
Jian Wuque's universal energy shrunk dramatically.
The thousand-kilometer miniverse swarmed back towards him as he attempted to concentrate his universal energy to fight Chu Kuangren.
That was when Chu Kuangren finally smiled. "You've finally shrunk your miniverse."
Jian Wuque was puzzled at his words.
Before he could even connect the dots, his expression changed, only to see that Chu Kuangren had unleashed a sword technique from a distance.
The unforgiving sword ray shot across the void and locked onto Jian Que!
It was never Chu Kuangren's intention to fight Jian Wuque. His sole reason for coming here was to kill Jian Que!
However, Jian Wuque's miniverse was previously limiting his movement, which forced Chu Kuangren to focus all of his attention on dealing with him.
Now, Jian Wuque had shrunk his miniverse in an attempt to defeat him.
This provided Chu Kuangren with a great opportunity.
"Don't you dare!"
Jian Wuque roared before he vanished into a ray of light and positioned himself between Chu Kuangren's sword ray and Jian Que. Then, he lifted his hand and unleashed a sword technique.
"You can't stop this blade!"
Chu Kuangren uttered calmly as he stored his Self Descendant Sword back in its handle.
Spatial ripples emerged within the realm!
As the sword ray was inches before Jian Wuque, it vanished into thin air. Before Jian Wuque could react, the sword ray had reappeared above Jian Que and effortlessly sliced him in half!
