Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws-Novel

Chapter 237: Shattered With One Palm, What Happened Here, I’ve Completely Forgotten

“Master.”

Lan Yu’s entire face paled upon witnessing the Tormented Army.

“Come, let’s take a look.” Chu Kuangren frowned slightly at the sight and dashed towards the Ancient Lou Kingdom.

At that moment, the enchanted boundary of Lou Kingdom had been completely decimated by the Tormented Army, and the huge ancient city was now completely exposed in the open air.

Outside the city, a spherical shield that was forged out of sand particles began to jerk before the shield disintegrated and the sand began to crumble to the ground.

Li Xiaoyun and several other troop members took a quick peep at their surroundings and sighed a breath of relief.

“Finally the tormented souls are gone.”

“Phew, what a close call.”

“That was way too scary. Such powerful rage qi, I’ve never witnessed one of such magnitude before during all my time in the Ancient Battlefield.”

“I’m afraid Sunsoil City will soon be gone.”

The group said in remorse.

“Damn it, it’s all that bastard Shang Han’s fault! He just took the Emperor Weapon away like that and lifted the seal,” cursed a scar-faced member angrily.

Upon the mention of Shang Han’s name, the rest were furious as well.

This journey had cost them a huge fortune!

Not only did they lose so many lives, but they had also failed to acquire even a single ounce of treasure despite overcoming great challenges to discover the Ancient Lou Kingdom.

What more was that the culprit behind this whole Tormented Army mess was the Young Emperor of the Shang clan. With their power and background, there was no way they could make him pay even if they wanted to.

All that was left was to move on begrudgingly.

“Let’s go, we can’t stay here any longer.”

Li Xiaoyun said.

He then led the group to leave the place.

Just as they were about to leave, two figures appeared before them.

“It’s them!”

Scarface looked at the two approaching figures and said, “Those are the people I was talking about, the ones that took the damaged Sage Weapon.”

At that, his eyes immediately turned cold. “Since we couldn’t get anything from the Lou Kingdom’s treasure, we can’t let this damaged Sage Weapon go.”

Perhaps if Scarface was alone, he would have thought twice before striking.

However, with Li Xiaoyun and others present, Scarface did not hold back any further.

Boom!

By stamping both his feet, Scarface launched himself like a cannonball and flew towards Chu Kuangren and his companion.

“Little brat, you’re dead!”

Scarface unleashed his sword and locked his Daoist Rhymes on Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren merely took a sweeping glance and gently lifted his hands.

A burst of Daoist Rhymes that were multifold stronger than that of Scarface’s was abruptly unleashed, manifesting into a Godly Mountain and crushing down onto his opponent.

With a loud bang, Scarface was immediately reduced to a pile of blood mist!

The remaining fighters who initially intended to join in the fight were immediately stunned.

What was that?

What just happened?

Hiss...

When they finally recovered to their senses, the group gasped in terror.

After all, Scarface was considered the strongest amongst them. Even though he was not an Honorable, he was close to one.

Yet, he was shattered with a single palm technique!

How strong was their opponent?!

“Arm your weapons!” Li Xianyun commanded.

The rest then brandished their weapons.

Deep down, their nerves were almost wrecking their souls.

Just how many things did they have to go through within the short span of a day?!

First was getting ambushed by a group of tormented swordsmen, and when they had finally found the Ancient Lou Kingdom, there was no treasure to be found, only to nearly lose their lives to the Tormented Army...

Now, they found themselves in another difficult situation.

Oh my.

Did they not pray enough before they started this journey?

Li Xiaoyun could only gulp in fear as his heart trembled intensely upon the sight of an approaching Chu Kuangren.

Danger!

An incredible danger!

The person before Li Xiaoyun was definitely the greatest foe he had ever crossed paths with!

“Looks like you people are an unfriendly bunch.”

Chu Kuangren said calmly.

Chu Kuangren had initially planned to inquire about what happened here before Scarface came for his life without offering him a chance to speak. He had no choice but to obliterate the threat.

Now that the situation had reached that point, it was inevitably a tad awkward for them to have a normal conversation.

“Looks like I have to make sure all of you are under control before I can speak any further.”

Chu Kuangren then gripped his Descendant Self Sword on his waist.

The blade shook slightly.

Then, an indescribable burst of Sword-based Daoist Rhyme exploded from Chu Kuangren’s body, gushing out like a thunderous waterfall!

The Sword-based Daoist Rhyme fell onto Xiao Yun Troop and immediately sent them quivering in fear as they experienced the most terrifying moments of their lives.

Aside from Li Xiaoyun, most of his troop members were pressed to the ground as if they now had to bear the weight of an enormous mountain.

Even Li Xiaoyun himself could feel both his feet trembling under the pressure. In just a few breaths, his clothes were now soaked wet by his cold sweats.

“Such Daoist Rhymes... You... You’re Chu Kuangren!”

Li Xiaoyun said in a shaky voice.

It was the same Daoist Rhyme as the one he sensed from the wordings back in the Lou Kingdom’s treasury.

There was no doubt that the person before him was the one who left the words in the treasury.

He was also none other than the renowned Chu Kuangren!

“Oh, now that you’ve recognized me...” Chu Kuangren proceeded to remove his spiritual veil, no longer concealing the extraordinary feature on his face.

Upon the sight of his face, Li Xiaoyun and the rest no longer had any doubts in their mind.

It was said that Chu Kuangren’s appearance was peerless.

Did that statement not perfectly describe the person before them?

“No wonder he could destroy Old Seven in a single attack because he’s none other than Chu Kuangren. How did we end up offending a person of such stature?”

“Hold on, if Chu Kuangren’s here and his parting words were still in the treasury, does that mean he had only discovered the treasure recently as well?”

“Damn it, looks like we really ran out of luck.”

The troop members conversed while they lay flat on the ground.

Although Li Xiaoyun could still stand under such pressure, he had exhausted all of his strength in doing so. There was no way he could engage in a battle with Chu Kuangren.

“How could we have such a huge gap between our abilities?!”

Li Xiaoyun was a Supreme Honorable and was ranked tenth in the Hundred Swords Spectrum. He could even put on a great fight with Murong Feng, who ranked second.

However, he now found himself struggling to draw his swords before the first-ranking swordsman of the Hundred Swords Spectrum.

“Tell me, what happened here?”

Chu Kuangren said calmly as he came before Li Xiaoyun.

In face of Chu Kuangren’s question, Li Xiaoyun did not dare hide any secrets and proceeded to explain all that had happened, including how they came to find the Ancient Kingdom and how Shang Han released the tormented souls.

“Shang Han? The name sounds familiar.”

Chu Kuangren seemed puzzled as he felt the name rang a bell.

“Master, he’s the Young Emperor of the Shang clan. Four years ago, you once defeated him in the Royal Azure Dynasty’s palace,” Lan Yu reminded him from the side.

Only then did Chu Kuangren remember.

“So it’s him... If you didn’t mention it, I would’ve completely forgotten having fought this person before. He was so weak that I didn’t even think he was worth remembering.” Chu Kuangren lamented while he shook his head.

Li Xiaoyun and the rest had an incredulous look on their faces.

Was Shang Han weak?

Not at all. As a Young Emperor, his combat strength could even surpass some Honorables.

Despite that, he was perceived to be unworthy of even being remembered to Chu Kuangren.

If Shang Han knew about this, one could only wonder how he would react.

His biggest nemesis did not even bother to remember his name.

Was this the ultimate power move?

“Let’s head to Sunsoil City. Looks like we have no choice but to postpone exploring the Core Area for now,” Chu Kuangren murmured while he looked into the distance.

Chu Kuangren’s figure flashed as he sped towards Sunsoil City with Lan Yu.

Upon his departure, the Sword-based Daoist Rhymes that shrouded the troop members slowly dissipated. When their bodies were freed from the pressure, the members felt as if their bodies were reborn as they quickly gasped for air.

“So that’s Chu Kuangren? How terrifying.”

“Indeed. We couldn’t even resist at all before him.”

“So powerful, so terrifying...”
