Chapter 170: The Greatness of The Soul Retriever, You All Shall Remain Here

“I am listed as number one in the Sword Spectrum, you dare have an issue with that?”

Chu Kuangren said in a calm manner. One sword strike was all it took to heavily injure Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries. At the same time, he had intimidated the remaining four Honorable Supremes.

The few of them looked at Chu Kuangren dumbfoundedly, finding it hard to believe what they had just seen.

All of them were Honorable Supremes who were once unparalleled sky-prides during their younger days. However, as compared to Chu Kuangren now, they felt like their so-called talent was not even worth mentioning at all!

Heavily wounded an Honorable Supreme with just a single sword strike?

Since when had such a monster emerge amongst the younger generation?

“Let’s all go at him. Third Forefather Linghu won’t be able to hold off the Sage of Black Heaven Sect for long, we need to be quick with this!” Linghu Hong said.

He made a decision on the spot and drew out an attack on Chu Kuangren.

His sword struck out, unleashing the Honorable Supreme Poise to its fullest.

“Let me witness the sword techniques of a swordsmanship family sect.”

Chu Kuangren let out a light laugh while he cast his Three Supreme Daoist Physique Transformations.

Nine Heaven Sword Prison, Green Lotus Sword Song, Sword of the Heavens!

A terrifying Sword-based Daoist Rhyme surrounded Chu Kuangren, and a majestic spiritual power circulated within his body. The energy from every swing of his sword brought enormous pressure unto Linghu Hong.

Moreover, Chu Kuangren’s enlightenment regarding Dao Techniques was too deep. On top of his Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, Linghu Hong’s Sword-based Daoist Rhyme was immediately suppressed.

If it were not for Linghu Hong’s expertise as a seasoned Honorable Supreme, which made his powers far greater than that of Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries, he would have been crushed in Chu Kuangren’s hands in just a few moves.

“I’ve heard of Chu Kuangren’s exquisite talent and prowess before this!”

“But simply too ridiculous to have such power!”

“I don’t think even the Young Emperor from our Linghu clan has such kind of combat strength. Can’t believe Black Heaven Sect has produced such a monster!!”

Linghu Hong was shocked to the core.

At this moment, Honorable Zhuo Lang, Senior Elder of Jade Watersword Sect, and Feng Wuchang had joined in the battle too. The three of them flanked and attacked Chu Kuangren along with Linghu Hong!

In an instant, various Dao Techniques lit up and shook the void.

Not far away, Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries took out a pill and consumed it. As he stared at Chu Kuangren, who was soloing against four Honorable Supremes, his face drained pale. “This guy is so indestructible. What an absolute monster!”

Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries had seen numerous sky-prides before him, but he swore that he had never seen anyone quite like Chu Kuangren. No one could possibly match his power.

“I concede. You are indeed worthy of the number one title in the Sword Spectrum!”

“Regardless, Xuan Qi’s ascension today has to fail!”

Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries capitalized on Chu Kuangren being occupied at battling the four Honorable Supremes, and dashed in the direction of Honorable Xuan Qi!

His target had just completed the third heavenly tribulation. All Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries had to do now was deplete his enemy’s energy and strength so that he would fail his ascension!

While in battle, Chu Kuangren too had noticed where Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries was headed. A cold gleam flashed through his eyes. “Do you not know what death is?”

A black chain then flew out of his body all of a sudden, swooping through the air like a black flash of lightning.

On his way to Honorable Xuan Qi, Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries could only feel frostbites on his spine, a tingling sensation on his scalp tingling, and the blood of his body almost frozen.

Danger!

He was in grave danger!

Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries hastily turned around and struck out his sword. The sword qi landed on the Soul Retriever, trying to hit it another way. However, the Soul Retriever was a Sage Ruler Weapon and it had an extremely unique material, so even a Sage would not be able to do any damage to it.

With that, Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries’s sword qi could not destroy the chain. The chain swirled around in mid-air for a minute before it continued to attack him as if it had its own consciousness.

“What kind of weird object is this?!”

Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries dodged the Soul Retriever. His sixth sense told him that if he was ever hooked by this chain, only bad things would happen to him.

Chu Kuangren held on to the other side of the chain, maneuvering the Soul Retriever as it held on to Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries’ trails.

This Soul Retriever was very unique. It looked like it could stretch for as far as the eyes could see. So no matter how far Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries tried to run, it could still track him there.

Before long, the length of the chain had already reached about a dozen miles. It circulated in the void, emitting an eerie energy wave.

Not only that but Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries was trapped by the chain’s encirclement too, and the area in which he could escape became smaller and smaller.

“Quick, stop him!” Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries yelled.

Linghu Hong, Feng Wuchang, and the others quickly unleashed their ultimate move. Several distinct Daoist Rhymes and majestic spiritual powers suddenly exploded!

“Flight of Annihilation!”

“Torrential Cascade!”

“Winds of Impermanence!”

“Endless Jade Waters!”

Three surges of sword qi and a palm qi were blasted at Chu Kuangren. This was the combination of attacks by four Honorable Supremes, and it was incredibly powerful.

“White Lotus Light of Purification!”

Chu Kuangren stood motionless on his ground as numerous white lotuses began to appear all around him. The lotuses swayed in the void, looking absolutely magical!

When the four forces of powers blasted onto the lotuses, there were no earth-shaking booms. The white lotuses then disintegrated one after another, yet at the same time, Linghu Hong and his three compatriots’ ultimate moves were also dispelled.

The Daoist Rhyme and spiritual power clashed and intertwined in the air, but in the end, everything diminished back to nil.

While not far away, Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries had finally run out of places to evade. He was tightly entangled by the Soul Retriever, with the hook at the very end of the chain piercing through his body but there were no traces of blood splatter.

The hook was like a vicious huge hand, scouring inside Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries’ body. Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries first let out an agonizing cry before both his eyes gradually became hollow.

“What is going on?!”

“There’s something odd with this black chain!”

Linghu Hong and the others fixed their gaze on Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries. Then, they witnessed a scene that sent tingles down their scalps.

To their astonishment, that hook scraped out another Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries out of his very own body, or to be more accurate, it was his soul!

“How is this possible!”

“My physical flesh, what the hell is this thing!”

All Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries could do was bear sight to the extraction of his soul out of his physical body. There was nothing that he could do about it, and his face was filled with terror.

Chu Kuangren raised his arm and initiated the Gluttonous Devouring Technique. He sucked Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries’ body into the Avarice dimension and refined it into extremely pure blood and flesh essences. With that, his spiritual power, which was drained more than half earlier, was rapidly replenished.

“This chain, it’s capable of handling souls!!”

“D*mn it, how did he get such a thing!”

Linghu Hong and the others were so terrified that their faces turned pale.

The way he dealt with a soul was too rare, too scary a sight to behold.

“Chu Kuangren really has a lot of treasures on him. I can’t believe that he has such a weapon that could deal with souls,” Honorable Xuan Qi muttered under his breath. After that, he shook his head and laughed, not planning to inquire further.

He was absolutely certain that Chu Kuangren would only answer him with four words… Obtained through good fortune.

He knew that Chu Kuangren was hiding something, but because he was a good student of his, Honorable Xuan Qi chose to let it go and put all his trust in him.

Chu Kuangren held the Soul Retriever in one hand and the Descendant Self Sword in another. He gazed at the few Honorable Supremes in front of him and declared, “From the moment you guys decided to come to the Black Heaven Sect and disrupt my Honorable Teacher’s ascension, your fate has already been sealed!”

“Today, my Honorable Teacher will succeed in his ascension, then ascend his way into Sagehood, while you guys shall all remain here!”

Chu Kuangren pronounced coldly, then tugged forcefully on the Soul Retriever which caused Honorable Swordsman of a Thousand Cries to let out a tragic squeal. Cracks started to appear on his sou before he burst open without a sound, his soul dissipating into nothingness!

“No way, this chain is too horrifying! Moreover, Chu Kuangren’s combat strength could not be looked down upon. The longer we drag this battle on, the worse our outcomes will be!”

“It seems like we can only whip out the item that Third Forefather gave us!”

Linghu Hong gritted his teeth as he picked out a tiny golden sword which emanated with streams of mysterious Sword-based Daoist Rhyme.
