The terrifying palm technique sent Bai Qianjun directly into the stage!
The crowd could not help but gulp in shock as they realized that even an Honourable would have trouble defending against that attack!
It was too scary!
“It's Chu Kuangren. It's definitely Chu Kuangren's move!”
“What a horrifying palm technique!”
“This is a technique that concentrates the earth qi, and it's definitely a Sage Ruler Technique. However, I've neither seen nor heard about this technique before.”
“That was one of the Ten Unparallel Warriors. Did Chu Kuangren just slap him into the stage like that? D*mn it, that is just too overpowering.”
Not far away, Feng Ming gasped in shock when he saw that scene. “That stage was made with materials that included dark steels which even an Honourable would have trouble damaging its structure, yet a single palm technique caused all that damage?!”
Was a Battle Monarch capable of unleas.h.i.+ng such power?
Boom!
A powerful vigor exploded from the stage, sending rubbles flying outwards as Bai Qianjun emerged from within the cracks. His hair was messily spread across his shoulders and his once pure-white robe was coated in layers of dust. It was an unsightly scene.
“Chu Kuangren, you ambushed me!”
His eyes were staring fiercely at the restaurant.
“You've been buzzing around irritatingly like a fly for a while now. Do you expect me to ask a housefly for its permission before I get rid of it?”
Chu Kuangren's voice could be heard from within the restaurant. Not long after, the crowd saw a figure, donned in white robes and crowned with a jade crown on his head, slowly walking out the door. His demeanor was elegant and beautiful.
It was a breathtaking sight for those who had never met Chu Kuangren in person before.
“Chu Kuangren is so extraordinary.”
“I've long heard about his appearance, that his body emits Daoist Rhymes that are so pure that it resembles a Banished Immortal. It seems that it's true after all.”
“My G.o.d, I can feel my heart racing.”
“If I keep looking, I might swing both ways just for him.”
“Wow, is this actually Chu Kuangren?”
“Thy beauty is so charming it should exist only in paintings, for I fall into a deep pool of infatuation. A million books I've studied in writings, to finally recognize thou transcends my imagination… No words can express my feelings better than this ancient poem.”
“Such a handsome man and such a beautiful lady. They're definitely a match made in heaven.”
Upon seeing Chu Kuangren, there were some uncultured cultivators who exclaimed in shock, “Holy sh*t, this person's too f*cking hot!”
Whereas the more literate cultivators recited poems to marvel at Chu Kuangren's beauty.
Some female cultivators even felt their hearts racing as they unleashed their infatuation upon seeing Chu Kuangren.
How they wished they could touch his body.
On the other hand, the male cultivators who were previously jealous now felt a little embarra.s.sed. They lamented, “No wonder Princess Linglong and Lan Yu have sworn loyalty to this person. It almost seems like he's a being that has descended from another world.”
Bai Qianjun's eyes were beaming with jealousy and hatred at this point. “Chu Kuangren, you humiliated my junior, Yuan Hong, and it's time I make you pay for that. You were just lucky that I was not careful enough to avoid your sneaky ambush.”
“Now, let's fight face-to-face. I shall have you a taste of my true abilities!”
At that, Bai Qianjun channeled his Daoist Rhymes to surround him and ma.s.sive amounts of sword qi fulminated. An enormous white sword shadow then formed above him, releasing a sharp qi before it crashed downwards as if it was splitting the sky into half.
With a smile, Chu Kuangren raised his palm and the five Supreme Foundation Levels within him released a heavenly light. A mammoth amount of spiritual energy pulsated in the void, converging the earth qi and concentrating its Daoist Rhymes into the center of his palm.
A grand and majestic palm technique!
When the palm attacked directly on the white sword shadow, the Human Mountain power exploded and hit the sword shadow. In a split second, countless small cracks appeared on the ever-so-sharp sword shadow.
“How can this be?!” The expression on Bai Qianjun's face changed and he instantly discharged all his spiritual energies to defend the power of Chu Kuangren's Human Mountain Stamp.
Alas, his effort yielded nothing for him.
The gap between him and Chu Kuangren was so wide that no matter if it was his spiritual energy or his insight into the Dao Techniques, he did not come close to Chu Kuangren's abilities at all.
A deafening explosion ensued as the white sword shadow shattered into pieces, its Daoist Rhymes completely disintegrated!
The rampaging impact then landed directly onto Bai Qianjun, sending him flying backward through several walls before he laid helplessly amid a pile of rubbles.
This attack had severely injured Bai Qianjun.
“Face-to-face? To be honest, I can't feel the difference, it's still a one-palm problem,” Chu Kuangren said calmly.
After that, Chu Kuangren's body flashed and he had seemingly teleported to Bai Qianjun's side. He then took Bai Qianjun's Yin and Yang Ring off his fingers.
“Chu Kuangren, what are you doing?” Bai Qianjun mustered all that was left of his strength to stand as he stared furiously at Chu Kuangren.
“Do you think there's no price to pay after such a blatant provocation against me?”
Bai Qianjun could feel his blood boiling at his words. “Chu Kuangren, isn't it enough that you've injured me this much?!”
“That's the price you have to pay for just being an annoying person. As for your provocation, I'll keep this Yin and Yang Ring and we'll call it even.” Chu Kuangren fiddled with Bai Qianjun's Yin and Yang Ring for a moment before storing it into his inventory.
“Chu Kuangren, you're too much now!”
Bai Qianjun screamed abruptly, “Elder Liu, come out!”
An elder dressed in a grey robe walked out from the void. The elder was an Honorable whom the Dharma Sect had sent as Bai Qianjun's Daoist Protector.
“Oh, asking for backup the moment you lost I see. That's fine by me, but the question is… Do you dare attack me?” Chu Kuangren looked at Elder Liu and said.
Elder Liu's face immediately turned solemn. Despite how unhappy he was, Elder Liu did not end up making any moves.
After all, it was no place to mess around.
Elder Liu could almost guarantee that he would not live past the next second if he were to make his first move!
He was not foolish enough to ignore the presence of a Supreme Honorable, the Seventh Forefather!
Furthermore, he had a hunch.
Even without the Seventh Forefather, it was entirely possible that Chu Kuangren could defeat him, and perhaps… even kill him!
His hunch was so overwhelming that he could not ignore it.
“Brother Chu, in your previous visit to the Dharma Sect, you've sparred with our cultivators and learned our techniques. Can't you consider our relations.h.i.+p and do you have to behave so extreme?”
“These are two distinct issues. Besides, didn't I share the Human Mountain Stamp Technique as well? I don't owe you anything. If my behavior is extreme, do you think Yuan Hong and this guy would still be breathing?”
Chu Kuangren pointed towards Bai Qianjun.
“You…” Elder Liu could not refute him further.
“That's enough, this Yin and Yang Ring is mine.” Deep inside, Chu Kuangren sighed. He made this tough decision because he needed to feed his egg somehow.
With that, Chu Kuangren turned and left.
“Elder Liu, are you really going to let him leave just like that?” Bai Qianjun was incredibly frustrated. His Yin and Yang Ring contained all of his resources, including his pile of soulstones and even precious herbal medicines.
“Sigh, what else can we do? If I attack, I'm afraid both of us wouldn't be alive,” Elder Liu said with a sigh.
“D*mn it. How is he this strong!” Bai Qianjun said unhappily. It had been a smooth-sailing journey ever since this ancient sky-pride awakened, so never did he think that he would lose so miserably today!
He could not even survive against Chu Kuangren's single palm technique!
“Indeed, how is he strong?” Elder Liu lamented and continued, “How I wish for him to be one of Dharma Sect's disciples. One Chu Kuangren is easily worth more than ten Young Emperors!”
Seeing that even his Daoist Protector had such high regards for Chu Kuangren, Bai Qianjun's face immediately turned sour.
Then, something strange happened.
The sword in Bai Qianjun's hands began to shake.
It was not only his sword, but the swords of every swordsman at the scene, as well as the Heaven Starlight Sword, were all shaking convulsively.
