Due to Chu Kuangren's palm technique, Blaze City trembled under his attack. Such a display of energy made Swordsman Yan incredibly worried.

What was more, Chu Kuangren's Buddhist Light was a direct counter to his rage qi techniques.

"Not even the high monks of Putuo Temple are capable of such a feat. What's going on with this guy? From guqin Dao to sword Dao, and now, he's also skilled in Buddhist Dao? Where did he acquire the skills to learn so many techniques?!"

Swordsman Yan was appalled.

In the distance, Jian Changfeng was looking even more dumbfounded. He could not believe his eyes.

He had seen the outlawed sky-prides.

Yet, from his judgment, even the cultivators who were hailed as legends amongst the outlawed sky-prides were no match for Chu Kuangren.

Such an individual had far transcended the definition of a sky-pride!

Boom, boom, boom…

The Blood Rage Mega Formation of Blaze City trembled violently as if it would collapse at any moment.

s

Swordsman Yan grunted. "I've spent so much effort in setting up this mega formation. There's no way I'll let you ruin it!"

He unleashed a powerful magnetic force, and the surrounding rage qi began to swarm towards him like converging rivers!

Swordsman Yan was absorbing the rage qi into his body!

Chu Kuangren observed from the side and did not interrupt. "Come. Let's see what other tricks you're capable of."

"Roar!"

As the rage qi continued to swarm into his body, Swordsman Yan's frail figure began to expand like a balloon.

Soon, his frail physique had grown several times stronger.

The once flaky skin became rejuvenated, his white hair turned black, and veins bulged on his bulky, muscular physique. Such a visual transformation was indicative of just how much energy was contained within Swordsman Yan's body.

Several crimson veins had also appeared all over Swordsman Yan's body. It emitted a rather eerie and peculiar presence.

"Og, it looks like someone has gotten much younger."

Chu Kuangren chuckled lightly at Swordsman Yan as he reactivated his Eye of Revelation.

"Rage Qi Absorption, a special technique that fuses rage qi with spiritual power to transform the cultivator's physique. However, such a technique requires trading off the cultivator's lifespan…"

"Never mind. You didn't get much younger. This is just like… terminal lucidity."

Swordsman Yan was shocked at Chu Kuangren's remark. "I didn't think you'd be able to figure out my condition. This is not something that even the Sovereigns are capable of. It looks like you possess a fair amount of secrets."

"It doesn't matter. Your secrets will all be mine once I've killed you!"

Swordsman Yan's eyes were burning with pa.s.sion.

He could not wait to uncover all the secrets Chu Kuangren possessed.

Just Chu Kuangren's Emperor Weapons alone were great Opportunities of Fortune for him.

"Kill me? During your terminal lucidity?"

"Heehee. As long as I can exit the state of Rage Qi Absorption early enough, I'll be fine."

Swordsman Yan cackled and attacked without further hesitation.

Swordsman Yan vanished at the spot. His speed was so fast that it could almost escape the detection of a Boundary Emperor's spiritual thought.

Not far away, Jian Changfeng had sensed Swordsman Yan somehow transforming into an afterimage before disappearing into thin air.

"He's fast ."

Chu Kuangren muttered and scattered his spiritual thoughts all over the area.

His Conjurer's Talent had endowed him with sensitive senses. Not only could he observe the battlefield visually, but he was also able to leverage all five senses.

It was no different than scattering his clones around the battlefield.

No matter how fast Swordsman Yan was, there was no way he could escape from Chu Kuangren's detection.

Chu Kuangren swung his Self Descendant Sword to his left.

A loud clunk erupted!

His sword had locked with Swordsman Yan's sword.

The terrifying blast forced Chu Kuangren and Swordsman Yan to take several steps back.

"You can pick up on my trail?"

Swordsman Yan was shocked. However, he soon concentrated his attention and swiftly attacked with his sword. "Blood Rage Slaughter!"

The h.o.a.rd of rage qi formed a claret sword shadow at the tip of his blade that spanned one thousand meters across.

As he swung his blade downwards, the sword shadow, accompanied by waves of disturbing howls, came cras.h.i.+ng down onto Chu Kuangren.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!"

In the face of the terrifying sword qi, Chu Kuangren activated all of the Supreme Foundations in his body.

As all three Daoist Physiques were mobilized, a boundless earth-shattering purple sword ray gushed towards the sword shadow like a violent stream!

The two sources of otherworldly power abruptly exploded!

The intertwining forces manifested as a sword qi pillar that pierced through the sky, causing the Blood Rage Mega Formation to be overwhelmed by its impact.

With a boom, the Blood Rage Mega Formation was destroyed!

Following its destruction, the terrifying energy seeped out of the city and was picked up by many strong cultivators.

Soon, Blaze City was greeted by the arrival of several spiritual thoughts, all of them curious to investigate the event.

Needless to say, they were shocked when they saw Chu Kuangren battling with Swordsman Yan.

"Such power! I'm afraid they're close to the level of Sovereigns."

"This is so powerful! Who in the world are these people?"

"The youngster in white robes is… Chu Kuangren! The same person who obtained the Emperor Weapon at Seven Chord City. He's so skilled in guqin Dao that not even Guqin Demon and Art Ghoul are a match for him. What surprises me is that he's the host to several Supreme Daoist Physique! This is just unbelievable."

"His talents are surely no weaker than those of the outlawed sky-prides."

The spiritual thoughts conversed.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren's battle with Swordsman Yan was about to reach its climax.

"Chu Kuangren, aren't you skilled in guqin Dao? Where's your guqin?!"

Swordsman Yan swung his sword, unleas.h.i.+ng another rage qi-infused crimson sword shadow that sent Chu Kuangren into retreat.

"You wish to hear my guqin music? You must desire death very much to want to hear my melodic tunes!"

Chu Kuangren lifted his hand and summoned a bolt of lightning.

The lightning exploded with an oppressive, domineering aura, which struck Swordsman Yan directly.

Swordsman Yan was forced to take a few steps back.

Then, the lightning bolt glided across the region before it eventually settled before Chu Kuangren and transformed into an elegant, azure guqin.

It was none other than the Emperor Weapon, Springtime Lightning!

"Eight Celestial Demonic Chords, Third Movement, Profound Carillon Resonance!"

Chu Kuangren began plucking his guqin, sending a blast of boundless musical sound waves and guqin Daoist Rhymes towards Swordsman Yan.

Swordsman Yan swung his sword, attacking the sound waves with his rage qi.

Chu Kuangren stood unmoved in his snow-white robes, while Swordsman Yan was forced to retreat further. The latter was now looking worried.

"His guqin Dao is indeed extraordinary. I need more rage qi!"

Swordsman Yan muttered.

Once again, he unleashed a tirade of magnetic force and began absorbing the undispersed rage qi in Blaze City into his body.

As the rage qi grew denser in his body, Swordsman Yan's expression began to turn ghastly.

"Roar!"

s

Swordsman Yan let out a beastly growl, his eyes accentuating his feral nature.

"Chu Kuangren, die!"

Swordsman Yan let out a deafening shriek that caused the Blaze City to tremble.

As Swordsman Yan charged towards Chu Kuangren, his rage qi clouded half of the city's sky.

Facing the daemonic Swordsman Yan, Chu Kuangren stretched his fingers and began playing the Eight Celestial Demonic Chords!
