Chapter 731: I'll Give You Three Moves, Chu Kuangren's Fingertips Miniverse
Chu Kuangren leaped forward and stepped into the combat arena.
With his hands behind his back, he said nonchalantly, "Three moves!"
"Oh, do you think that you can defeat me within three moves?" Jian Wuque eventually controlled his emotions and composed himself to be in his best combat state.
After hearing Chu Kuangren's statement, Jian Wuque did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and looked at his opponent as if he was an idiot.
Defeat him in just three moves?!
He must be kidding! Jian Wuque was a High-rank Heavenly Imperial!
Although Jian Wuque was not a half-step Daoist Celestial like the Heaven Imperial Ghostblade and Bai Juexin, he could go all out and defeat even a half-step Daoist Celestial in three moves.
Yet, how dare Chu Kuangren, whose realm was even lower than Jian Wuque, boast such a thing? That was a joke!
Jian Wuque was not the only one who thought so.
Everyone else was also having the same thoughts.
A few female cultivators even looked at Chu Kuangren with sympathy in their eyes.
Alas, he was pretty good-looking, but there was something wrong with his brain.
"No, you've misunderstood."
Chu Kuangren smiled. "I don't need three moves to defeat you. In fact, defeating you will only take one move. What I mean is that you can make the first three moves."
As soon as he said that, silence befell the audience.
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterward, an uproar ensued.
"D*mn, are you kidding me? That kid sure knows how to brag. He wants to defeat Jian Wuque with just one move? Why state something that's absolutely impossible?"
"That's right! Doesn't he know what kind of opponent he is facing? That guy is really ignorant."
"Yet there I was, thinking how great could he be. But now, it seems like he's just a madman who thinks that he's indestructible just because he has some ability."
"Oh, what a pity for that pretty face of his to be ruined."
"Go for it, Jian Wuque. Just beat him to death."
"Come on, little brother. Remember to protect your face when you get beaten up. It would be a shame for such a pretty face to get beaten up."
The crowd around were in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by Chu Kuangren's declaration. There were some who mocked him for speaking out, while some cheered for Jian Wuxia.
There were also a few female cultivators who could not bear to watch Chu Kuangren's face get ruined.
Shang Honghua, who had come to watch the match specifically, could not help but shake her head. "This guy. Does he not know how to tone down a little?"
Beside her, Baili Xue chuckled. "He sure has some character, and he's really strong."
After all, they had experienced a fight with him before in the Universe Secret Realm.
They were aware of Chu Kuangren's strength far better than anyone else.
In the combat arena.
Jian Wuque had finally gotten his emotions back in control. However, a few words from Chu Kuangren had made him lose himself again, and his face turned red in anger.
Control his emotions?
It has all gone to waste now!
At that very moment, Jian Wuque wanted to crush Chu Kuangren to the ground!
"Take this!"
Jian Wuque's jet-black longsword instantly cut through the void and a black arc that contained a large number of Daoist patterns. It was like a sword ray bursting out of the darkness, piercing straight out!
This attack was aimed directly at Chu Kuangren's chest!
However, Chu Kuangren stood in his spot and did not move at all!
Not until the very last moment, as the sword closed in, he raised two fingers and unbelievably caught the jet-black longsword!
The Daoist pattern and Emperor qi on the sword dissipated!
Chu Kuangren had effortlessly caught the sword with just two fingers!
The cultivators who were waiting for Chu Kuangren to make a fool out of himself were all stunned.
They looked at the scene in front of them and could not believe their eyes. Some even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were dreaming.
However, the fact was that Chu Kuangren really did catch hold of the sword!
"How is that possible?!"
Everyone gulped.
Jian Wuxia had the same thought as everyone else.
How was that possible?
How could his sword be stopped by his opponent so easily and in such an incredible way?!
"Miniverse!"
Upon noticing something, Jian Wuque narrowed his eyes slightly.
He saw a faint purple brilliance flow through two of Chu Kuangren's fingers, and it was intertwined within the Daoist patterns, which contained a miniverse!
Some of the Heavenly Imperials watching the battle had noticed that too. Their faces turned solemn as they looked at Chu Kuangren with extremely jealous eyes.
Compared to the Emperors in the Initial Emperor Realm, a large portion of the combat strength in the Emperor Realm would reflect in the miniverse.
The strength of the miniverse and how they were utilized were all important factors that would affect an Emperor's combat strength.
Even for these Heavenly Imperials, who had been cultivating the miniverse for countless years, it was their first time witnessing someone utilizing the miniverse on two small fingers. That was extremely spectacular.
"It's not simple to alter the size of an Emperor's miniverse. Anyone who can control the miniverse that is five hundred meters wide is considered skillful. To be able to condense it at the fingertips, t-that's simply a fantasy!"
"Let alone Heavenly Imperials, I am afraid that even the Daoist Celestial might not be able to match how this guy is utilizing the miniverse!"
"Terrifying..."
The Heavenly Imperials were amazed. However, Jian Wuque in the battle arena felt a hint of unprecedented pressure.
He gave a soft grunt before he, too, expanded his own miniverse to try to resist the miniverse at Chu Kuangren's fingertips.
However, he realized that the miniverse at his opponent's fingertip was so powerful that his miniverse could not shake it at all.
At last, Chu Kuangren released his fingers.
Jian Wuque immediately stepped back!
He looked at Chu Kuangren with a dreadful expression. "It's shocking to see that you've progressed to this level in such a short time."
"You have two more moves. Make good use of these opportunities and see if you can hurt me," Chu Kuangren said as he hooked his finger.
Jian Wuque's mouth twitched.
He felt that Chu Kuangren's every word was teasing at his Daoist core, and it made him feel so irritated. He was close to losing his sanity.
Calm down...
Jian Wuque took a deep breath and forced his emotional swing under control. Then, he unleashed the Emperor qi in his body to its fullest potential.
Immediately after that, Jian Wuque's miniverse expanded and enveloped the whole battle arena!
"Mystery, Abyssal Realm Ripper!!"
Esoteric Art, activate!
Jian Wuque swung his sword out. A dark and deep sword ray that was filled with deadly aura sliced through the void and slashed towards the Chu Kuangren.
Daoist patterns intertwined in the sword ray, looking extremely mysterious.
It seemed as though there was a black hole within the light!
That strike was strong enough to destroy half an asteroid.
However, Chu Kuangren's expression remained extremely calm. He pointed a finger at the dark sword ray, and the miniverse on his fingertips intercepted the sword ray.
The intimidating sword ray failed to destroy the miniverse at Chu Kuangren's fingertips. On the contrary, it was gradually nullified by the miniverse.
After a while, the black sword ray turned into nothingness.
Chu Kuangren remained standing on the spot, unscathed with his two white jade-like, fair and slender fingers. There were crystal clear colors flowing around his fingers.
The crowd looked at those two fingers as if they were looking at the world's most terrifying killer and could not help but shudder.
They all knew that Chu Kuangren could even use those two fingers to easily destroy an asteroid if he wanted to.
"You have another chance!"
"Abyssal Realm Ripper!"
Jian Wuque held on to his jet-black longsword and attacked fiercely!
The sword ray flew straight ahead as fast as a shooting star.
"This move is not considered."
Chu Kuangren shook his head with a smile and then lightly pointed a finger outward.
The tip of his finger touched the tip of the sword.
However, at that moment, the jet-black longsword and even Jian Wuque turned into a light spot. Then, a figure suddenly flew out from the light spot and charged towards the Chu Kuangren from the other direction. That was Jian Wuque's real trump card!
"Shadow Clone Sword!"
