Chapter 2217 The Dragon Hunters Arrive to Make a Deal, Coercion on Top of Persuasion, How Insolent
"Palace Ruler, news from the Sword Universe has arrived."
Just then, a disciple wielding a sword came to the Divine Sword Palace Ruler's side, bowed to him, and said, "Dugu Bupo has completed his closed-door meditation. He's currently rushing over to the Great Hongmeng Universe."
The Divine Sword Palace Ruler's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So, Dugu Bupo has completed his closed-door meditation, huh? How interesting. What is his current cultivation level?"
"He has ascended to the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm. I heard when he came out of closed-door meditation, his sword intent instantly spread across millions of kilometers and formed a sword celestial demon avatar that slashed a galaxy in half with one strike. Even the Thirty-Six Demonic Swords of the Sword Universe trembled in his presence."
That disciple looked astonished as he spoke.
The Thirty-Six Demonic Swords were thirty-six ominous and strange swords located in the Sword Universe. As every user of those swords had died a gruesome death, those who used the swords would bring misfortune upon themselves.
However, Dugu Bupo was known as the Sword Demon. Upon breaking through to the Grand Dao Supreme Honorable Realm, he managed to suppress those thirty-six demonic swords, making them yield to him by submission. It was simply frightening.
It was said that the elders tasked with suppressing the demonic swords were stunned beyond belief.
"Oh, well done, Dugu Bupo. Seeing that the Human Ancestral Land is about to open, it's perfect timing that he's coming," the Divine Sword Palace said calmly.
He was also looking forward to the inevitable moment when Sword Demon Dugu Bupo faced off against Chu Kuangren. He wondered which one among them would emerge victorious.
…
After killing Jian Shifang, Chu Kuangren took his fallen opponent's sword.
He returned to the Pan Gu Sect and was greeted by Lan Yu and the others.
"Welcome back, Master. How was your journey?"
"Oh, it wasn't too bad." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He then tossed the Darkness Sky Slasher to Ye Zhu and said with a smile, "This Darkness Sky Slasher is yours. Take your time to refine it."
Ye Zhu was a little stunned and confused as he held the Darkness Sky Slasher. "This… This item is a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure. Are you sure you want to give it to me, Sect Leader?"
"What's the matter? You don't want it?"
"I do." Ye Zhu immediately nodded his head.
Everyone could only look at him with great admiration.
It was a Hongmeng Supreme Treasure, which not even Monarchs possessed many of them. Hence, they could not believe Chu Kuangren was so generous to give it out just like that.
After that, Chu Kuangren asked about the Pan Gu Sect's recent developments.
Nothing much had happened.
The only thing worth mentioning was that a weaponsmith had come to challenge Ou Yenuo in weaponsmithing a while back.
The challenger even said that the title of Myriad Arms City's strongest weaponsmith must be given to the winner, and that match would be happening soon.
Chu Kuangren got a little interested.
"That seems interesting."
However, he did not ask further.
After all, he was pretty confident in Ou Yenuo's skills.
Although he was not ranked first on the Weaponsmith Leaderboard, his ranking was still high in the top ten.
Only a handful of individuals in the Infiniverse were stronger than him in weaponsmithing.
Several days later, Chu Kuangren was familiarizing himself with the Infernal Dragon energy inside his body.
It was an extremely extraordinary power. Although he had yet to fully master it, he could increase his combat power tremendously once unleashed.
It did not matter that he did not have the Dragon Tomb's dragon qi to boost him because the effects of that power were already impressive.
"When I unleash this power, it'll be as if the Primal Infernal Dragon has possessed my body. This will allow me to use the Primal Infernal Dragon's various mysterious and unique divine abilities. However, I have only mastered the Infernal Dragon Eye, Silence Realm technique for now.
"As for the remaining powers, I have yet to unlock them."
The Infernal Dragon was a being that could control time itself, and its power was very mysterious. Hence, it would take a very long time to fully master its power.
Despite his impressive talents, Chu Kuangren knew that even he could not master them all at once.
"Sect Leader, you have a visitor."
At that moment, Lan Yu sent him a message.
His figure disappeared in a flash as he went to check it out.
Inside a palace hall used for receiving guests in Pan Gu Sect, several figures were waiting for Chu Kuangren. Dense ferocious and rage qi were emanating from those people, and it made everyone else uncomfortable, especially Long Shuijing, Elder Dragon Huang, and the other dragons.
They looked at those guests with hostility in their eyes.
"What are the Dragon Hunters doing here?"
"Damn it."
"Hmph. I really want to kill them right now."
Elder Dragon Huang, Long Shuijing, and the other dragons discussed softly among themselves.
However, the Dragon Hunters merely stood there as if nothing ever happened.
They did seem not bothered by the hostile gazes of the dragons either.
There was even a younger Dragon Hunter who sneered. "I thought the Pan Gu Sect founded by Chu Kuangren would be an amazing place, but I can't believe there are creatures like dragons here as well. How disappointing."
The Dragon Hunters hated the dragons with a burning passion.
If it were not for the fact that they were in someone else's territory, they would have taken action long ago.
"Don't be rude, Lu Yun." An elder beside the young man frowned and scolded him.
Lu Yun pursed his lips and spoke no further.
It did not take long before Chu Kuangren arrived. Upon noticing the strange atmosphere there, he looked around at everyone and understood why.
"Ah, I see…" he mumbled.
He could roughly guess the motive for the Dragon Hunters' visit.
When the leading Dragon Hunter saw Chu Kuangren, he stepped forward with a smile. "Greetings, Brother Chu. My name is Wang Yi of the Dragon Hunters."
Wang Yi's cultivation level was pretty high.
He was as powerful as Honorable Seven Evils whom Chu Kuangren encountered back at the Dragon Tombs.
"Greetings, Brother Wang. What brings you here to Pan Gu Sect?" Chu Kuangren asked calmly.
Wang Yi cut straight to the point by raising his hand and releasing many glimmering treasure items from his sleeve that lit up the palace.
Everyone was surprised.
All of them were extraordinary treasures.
There were Supreme Elixirs, Immortal Metals, essences of nature…
"Brother Chu, we heard that the Dragonslayer is in your hands. We express our highest gratitude for your trouble in safekeeping it in our stead. These treasures here are a token of our appreciation for your troubles." Wang Yi chuckled.
It amused Chu Kuangren. "Safekeeping? You do have quite the sense of humor, Brother Wang. This item was something I obtained at great risk and effort in the Dragon Tombs. How did it end up as 'safekeeping' to you instead?"
Beside him, Long Shuijing rolled her eyes.
The unsealing of the Dragonslayer was done through the Dragon Hunters' efforts, and Chu Kuangren only took action at the final moment, wiping out all of them with a few techniques.
Was that what he meant by taking great risks and efforts?
The way the Dragon Hunters saw it, he was clearly benefiting from their hard work.
Wang Yi may not know exactly what happened, but he knew Chu Kuangren obtained the Dragonslayer after killing Honorable Seven Evils and the clan members with dragon blood.
Although he was all smiles, he was cursing Chu Kuangren in his mind.
However, he replied respectfully, "Brother Chu, the Dragonslayer has been a supreme treasure that belongs to the Dragon Hunters, and there are many seals on the Dragonslayer that prevent outsiders from refining it. I kindly ask that you return this Ultimate Supreme Weapon to us. Besides these treasures, I'll add another ten billion Primordial Crystals and five hundred million kilograms of Great Dao Sources. What do you think, Brother Chu?"
"You're too naive if you think you can get the Ultimate Divine Weapon with just that." Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Wang Yi pondered on it again. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll add in another Hongmeng Supreme Treasure. This is the most the Dragon Hunters can offer."
Chu Kuangren rubbed his chin, seemingly thinking about the offer.
"You better hand us the Dragonslayer, Chu Kuangren. You do not deserve this weapon. Otherwise, there will be consequences."
Lu Yun, who was standing by the side, spoke up at that moment.
On top of persuading Chu Kuangren, he was attempting to coerce Chu Kuangren and force the latter to hand over the Dragon Slaying Saber.
"How insolent!"
