“You were attempting to break through my Aqua Veil? You don't even have that capability!”

That female Scaled Tribe member said with a gleam of arrogance on her composed face. She was a Great Sage of the Scaled Tribe.

Chu Kuangren grinned when he saw that.

“How hard do you think it is to break your Aqua Veil?!”

A bright crimson red flame suddenly emerged on Chu Kuangren's body, maintaining the energy on his body. With one sword strike, sword rays with a dazzling brilliance erupted and emitted a powerful Emperor's Aura

He lashed out a sword, and the sword qi instantly tore that Aqua Veil apart. That female Scaled Tribe Great Sage's expression was shocked. “No way!”

She took hold of the Scaled King and quickly retreated.

Nevertheless, the sword ray kept tailing them like a shadow.

“D*mn it, Water Bloom!”

That Scaled Tribe Great Sage yelled out as he threw out a palm attack. Rays of light ama.s.sed in the middle of her palm before it was blasted at the sword qi.

With a boom, the sword qi and the palm qi interweaved, producing a Daoist Rhyme that spread everywhere. The tossing and tumbling of the water current around them immediately pushed Scaled King back over thirty meters.

That Scaled Tribe Great Sage was forced back several meters as well, but she had an extra b.l.o.o.d.y cut on her palm. She stared at Chu Kuangren despicably.

“What an incredible sword qi! Not to mention that crimson red bright flame. Was that the legendary Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art?!”

“Can't believe you've chosen to use this technique. You're really a lunatic!”

The Scaled Tribe Great Sage exclaimed.

“Elder Bei Ningfang, are you alright?!”

The Scaled King asked.

“Don't you worry, dear elder. The rest of the elders are rus.h.i.+ng here as we speak. We just need to hold him off a little longer. This guy's combat strength may be great, but to single-handedly defeat a great army like ours is not possible. Adding to the fact that he used a forbidden technique like the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art, he will surely die here today!!”

The Scaled King declared cruelly. With that confident face of his, it seemed like he had no intentions of back off at all.

Bei Mingfang pondered about what he had said and nodded too, thinking that it was good reasoning. She looked at Chu Kuangren like she was looking at a dead person.

To face the entire Scaled Tribe army single-handedly?!

How stupid could someone be to carry out such an outrageous act?

Chu Kuangren's plan of defeating the opposing army by striking its commander first had been thwarted by Bei Mingfang, and millions of armies had already surrounded him.

On top of that, countless menacing oceanic beasts had also made their way here. Their combat strengths were certainly not weaker than the million soldiers that he was facing now.

At this sight, Chu Kuangren could not help but laugh.

“Haha, admirals and oceanic beasts, what a grandiose battle this is, I must say! I'm still waiting to see how many more soldiers and oceanic beasts that the Scaled Tribe has for me to slaughter!!”

With his black hair swirling about, he plucked his fingers on the guqin strings, and waves after waves of guqin music rang out, which shook ten thousand kilometers of the sea!

Under this barrage of attacks, the death tolls of Scaled Tribe soldiers and oceanic beasts continued to soar. This gruesome battle had dyed the whole sea b.l.o.o.d.y red even more.

“Sword qi, transform!”

As if thinking that his ma.s.sacre was still going on too slowly, bouts after bouts of sword qi surged out from beside Chu Kuangren's body, transforming into clones which lunged out at his enemies.

Sword qi clones and the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords.

In the hands of Chu Kuangren, these two Emperor Techniques were unleashed to their maximal potential. They were the most appalling weapons of ma.s.s destruction!

Under this relentless attack, the Scaled Tribe army and the oceanic beasts were utterly beaten and left scampering for their lives. Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren sat composed amongst the sea of blood with his guqin laid out. The white robe on his body was so glaring that it contrasted his ruthlessness.

He had murdered so many people, yet his white robe remained untainted, his demeanor remained ever so peerless. He looked as though he were just stepping over a pile of tiny ants, so puny that it did not warrant any mercy from him.

“Demon… He's a demon!”

“This guy must be a demon. He's way too brutal.”

“Ahh, please… please don't kill me.”

At last.

Facing Chu Kuangren's cold-blooded ma.s.sacre, many soldiers had already given up the fight and discarded their weapons. They began to flee, and not even that mind-befogging technique that the Scaled King used earlier had any effect on them anymore.

Fear was the most basic instinct of nature!

The fear that Chu Kuangren had brought unto them far exceeded the influence that the Scaled King had cast over them.

“Is this guy really human? How is he still not dead yet after using the Nine Deaths Blazing Blood Art for such a long time?”

The Scaled King and Bei Ningfang watched on with utter astonishment.

It was too scary.

It was indeed too scary a sight to behold.

To be able to battle in this deep-sea environment and win by such a huge margin, Chu Kuangren's displayed ability was way too scary for them.

At this moment, even the Scaled King was feeling somewhat remorseful.

Perhaps he should not have offended this guy in the first place.

However, it was already too late to contemplate all that.

The enemy was already standing right in front of him. He had nowhere left to retreat!

Boom!!

Just then, an incredibly terrifying Daoist Rhyme erupted from afar. A palm qi coursed with the waters and made its way towards Chu Kuangren.

“Another Sage.”

Chu Kuangren scoffed.

Following that, his finger strummed on the guqin. As soon as the third movement of the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords started to blast, the palm qi was shattered with brute force.

The clas.h.i.+ng of the two energies sent Chu Kuangren back by a couple of meters.

Then behind him was another burst of Daoist Rhyme.

Chu Kuangren held the guqin in his left hand, and with his right hand gripping the sword, he swung it behind him.

With a clang, the Descendant Self Sword struck onto another turquoise longsword. The collision of both sword tips produced surges of sword qi that glided through the waters and burst open at the ocean floor, forming many bubbles which immediately dissipated.

Chu Kuangren looked at the wielder of the sword.

It was a middle-aged Scaled Tribe man who had a few golden scales on his cheeks and a majestic Sword-based Daoist Rhyme flowing on his body. His sword Dao was far better off than any other swordsman that he had encountered before.

Even top sword orthodoxies like Tempest Mountain, Linghu clan, and Black Heaven Sect might not even have a sword cultivator of such standard.

After the two swords clashed, both swordsmen were forced back.

“The Scaled Tribe's resources are not to be taken lightly.”

Deep down, Chu Kuangren was shocked.

Just as he was occupied with fending off the attacks from two Sages, he realized that there were suddenly several more Scaled Tribe people around him.

These people all had the cultivation base of a Sage, and every single one of them alone could top the strength of a hundred thousand Scaled Tribe soldiers combined.

Chu Kuangren looked on and a smile appeared on his face. “The real show has only just begun.”

The Scaled Tribe army and oceanic beasts were merely decoys to delay Chu Kuangren's time. These Sages were the ones whom the Scaled King had in store to kill him off!

“Chu Kuangren, I can't believe you have the courage to infiltrate the Scaled Tribe and inflict such carnage on us. You truly deserve to die here today!!”

One of the Sages raised his voice in anger as he stared at the dead bodies and the seawater that had been dyed b.l.o.o.d.y red.

Upon hearing what he had said, Chu Kuangren could not help but chuckle. “Carnage? That I deserve to die? What wrong have those thousands of civilians in the Black Heaven Sect coastal region done to you then?! Don't you think your claims of me being deserving death for carnage sounds very ironic?”

“Pfft, they died because you took the Sea King's Halberd, a sacred treasure of the Scaled Tribe! If you're looking for someone to blame for their deaths, look no further than yourself.”

“The halberd is in my possession because your Scaled Tribe's Young Master lost it to me. If this was the reason my people died, then I have nothing left to say. All I can do is to redeem their innocent deaths with your Scaled Tribe's blood!!

“For each one person you killed, I'll kill a thousand of your Scaled Tribe people. The casualties that the Black Heaven Sect sustained this time were over a hundred thousand in total. The amount that I've killed earlier is not even close to that number!”
