Chapter 539: Taking Down The Sword Daoist In A Single Sword Technique, To Set The Line For A Big Catch
“It seems that you’re not only highly skilled in sword Dao but also possess an extremely good eye. I didn’t think you could tell that this body of mine is only a clone.”
The Sword Daoist replied.
The clone refining technique he used was very advanced and cost him countless resources to create one. However, that resulted in a clone that looked no different from a normal person and could also practice cultivation like an ordinary cultivator. Even an Emperor Realm cultivator would not be able to see through this clone creation technique of his.
He never expected his identity as a clone would be revealed by Chu Kuangren in an instant.
Meanwhile, the onlooking sword cultivators at the scene were terribly stunned by both Chu Kuangren’s and the Sword Daoist’s dialogue.
It was especially true for Qin Feng, who was in disbelief.
A clone?!
The Sword Daoist before him was merely a clone!
If that clone was already powerful enough to defeat him effortlessly, then how powerful would the real Sword Daoist be?!
Chu Kuangren looked at the Sword Daoist and said, “I might be a little more interested if the real you was here instead. Dealing with a clone is incredibly boring.”
After speaking, Chu Kuangren stopped caring about him and proceeded to walk towards the Primitive Elite Swordgrass.
“Hmph, this may be a clone, but do you think that I, the Sword Daoist will allow anyone to take me lightly? Don’t be too arrogant, Chu Kuangren!”
The Sword Daoist coldly snorted and raised his hand to unleash a sword technique. A turbulent surge of sword qi headed towards Chu Kuangren like a storm.
However, Chu Kuangren did not even bat an eye at that attack. He merely gathered some sword qi in his fingers and casually struck out!
A purple sword ray shot across the skies like a shooting star.
In an instant, the overbearing sword qi storm was shattered by that single attack. The purple sword ray soon landed on the Sword Daoist’s body, sending him flying hundreds of meters away before he eventually crashed into the ground like a falling meteor. The impact smashed a gigantic crater in the ground, and in the center laid a disheveled Sword Daoist.
On his body, there was a sword wound so deep and long that it almost cut his body in half. Huge amounts of blood gushed out from that critical wound.
Everyone was stunned.
The Sword Daoist, who was unmatched in sword Dao, was just defeated by a single, effortless sword technique!
That scene was just too dreadful.
“How weak.”
Chu Kuangren casually remarked. After that, he walked toward the Primitive Elite Swordgrass, ignoring the surges of sword qi that it emanated. He simply reached out, grabbed the Supreme Elixir, and stored it inside his Yin and Yang ring.
An Emperor-grade Supreme Elixir like the Primitive Elite Swordgrass would have a certain amount of benefit for him as well.
He was not interested in the Primitive Elite Swordgrass, but a Supreme Elixir like this would increase his sword qi power.
“Master Daoist, your body is currently a clone. You’re no match for someone like Chu Kuangren. Why don’t we retreat for now?”
Jian Changfeng approached the Sword Daoist and suggested.
“Very well!”
After witnessing Chu Kuangren’s strength, the Sword Daoist nodded and left the area with Jian Changfeng’s help.
Chu Kuangren let out a playful grin as he looked at the Sword Daoist’s departing figure. “Oh, our little game has just begun, my dear Sword Daoist.”
“So you’re Chu Kuangren, the one who killed my clan brother, Wang Tianteng.”
At this time, Wang Xu looked at Chu Kuangren with an extremely unfriendly expression.
“Wang Tianteng? Hm... Let me think. I’ve killed quite a lot of sky-prides after all.” Chu Kuangren started to ponder.
Everyone’s mouths twitched at his reaction.
‘Wang Tianteng is considered one of the well-known sky-prides in the Nine Heavens.’
‘Yet Chu Kuangren needs to recall who he was?!’
‘How many sky-prides have he killed up until now?!’
“Oh, I got it. There is a person with that name.” Chu Kuangren nodded. “What’s the matter? Are you going to take revenge for his sake?”
He looked at Wang Xu with an apathetic gaze and asked lightly.
Upon hearing that, Wang Xu instantly felt a terrifying chill seeping through his heart.
He clearly knew that if he responded with a “Yes”, he would be greeted by that terrifying surge of sword qi that even the Sword Daoist could not resist.
“No.”
Wang Xu shook his head and took two steps back.
As such, Chu Kuangren ignored him.
Not far away, both Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue soon caught up to him.
Both of them were not that surprised to know that Chu Kuangren had obtained the Primitive Elite Swordgrass.
Soon, the three of them left the area.
Looking at their leaving figures, the Heavenly Divine Sword Sect’s Mo Yifan could not help but lament. “Having such terrifying power that even the Sword Daoist himself cannot hold his own against a single sword technique, this person’s combat strength is unfathomable. I can’t believe the outside world has an outlaw sky-pride like him!”
“Hmph. Just wait until my Wang clan’s outlaw sky-pride arrives. He’ll definitely defeat that person!” Wang Xu uttered coldly.
The Wang clan had an outlaw sky-pride as well!
Meanwhile, both the Sword Daoist and Jian Changfeng had arrived at a cave inside the Enchanted Forest Realm.
After consuming an extremely valuable medicinal pill, the Sword Daoist went into closed-door meditation. It took more than half a day before the injuries on his body started to recover.
There was a grim look on his face. “Who do you think you are, Chu Kuangren? How dare you injure my clone to such an extent? If not for this Golden Rejuvenation Pill that I have on me at all times, this clone would have been defeated in this Forest Realm. D*mn him, d*mn that insolent f*cker!!”
Before this, his intention to kill Chu Kuangren was because he did not want another Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart host to exist in this world.
However, he wanted to kill Chu Kuangren now because of the hatred he had for him.
Having vented his rage, the Sword Daoist took a deep breath and said, “His strength is truly formidable and is almost on par with my real body. Killing this person won’t be an easy task. I should focus on getting the White Spiritual Divine Fruit for now. If I can manage to get the Divine Fruit, I’ll definitely have more confidence to get the Emperor’s Throne.”
Beside him, Jian Changfeng’s eyes lit up, but he immediately retracted his gaze right after.
“Changfeng, I bet it’s quite hard for you to protect me while I’m recovering. Here, take this spirit fruit.”
The Sword Daoist took out a spirit fruit and gave it to Jian Changfeng.
“Thank you very much, Master Daoist.” Jian Changfeng excitedly received the spirit fruit.
At that, a hint of contempt flashed across the Sword Daoist’s face.
That spirit fruit was nothing much to him, yet it could be used to win the hearts of others around him.
“Master Daoist, I shall go and survey the surrounding area, just in case Chu Kuangren and the others decide to come and pursue us,” Jian Changfeng said.
“Very well. Go ahead.”
Once Jian Changfeng had left the cave, he activated several restrictive barriers around him to prevent others from spying on him with their spiritual thoughts. Then, he took out a communication compass and said, “Master...”
...
“Oh, the White Spiritual Divine Fruit?”
After ending his call with Jian Changfeng, Chu Kuangren was surprised. “One of the rumored Ten Great Divine Fruits, huh? This is quite interesting indeed.”
There were countless Supreme Elixirs and spirit fruits in the world.
However, the Ten Great Spirit Fruits were ten of the most sought-after spirit fruits by all cultivators, as each of them possessed incredibly powerful effects.
Although Emperor-grade Supreme Elixirs like the Primitive Elite Swordgrass were extremely valuable, they still paled in comparison to the Ten Great Spirit Fruits.
The White Spiritual Divine Fruits was one of those ten.
It was said that this spirit fruit could increase the user’s cultivation level and cultivation capability, as well as enable them to enter a high-leveled Enlightenment Stage.
According to the records, an Honorable Realm cultivator once entered a state of Enlightenment after consuming the White Spiritual Divine Fruit. He was in it for three days and three nights before awakening to find that his understanding of Daoism was on par with that of an Emperor. Eventually, that cultivator found his own way of Dao and got the Emperor’s Throne within the next hundred years, ruling over everyone with his might throughout that whole epoch!
It was clear that the White Spiritual Divine Fruit was an incredibly powerful item.
Even if there were countless Opportunities of Fortune within the Enchanted Forest Realm, spirit fruits like the White Spiritual Divine Fruit were extremely rare to come by.
“The White Spiritual Divine Fruit, huh? This is something that I’ll definitely need to obtain. My dear Sword Daoist, you’ve brought me a splendid surprise indeed.”
Chu Kuangren smiled happily.
Killing the Sword Daoist was nothing hard for him, but what benefit would he gain upon doing that?
Killing an ant that served no threat to him would not bring him any satisfaction at all.
Hence, the proper way to utilize someone like this would be to set the line for a big catch instead!
