Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

As the Sword Gauntlet opened, a ray of sword qi shot into the skies like a rainbow. Since the Sages of the One Sword, One Mountain, and Two Families took action to place a restriction there, they made it extremely difficult for outsiders to approach the Sword Gauntlet.

Soon after, the disciples from the great sage orthodoxies had arrived.

The ones who showed up first were the people from the Murong Clan. Murong Yu could be seen leading a few other qualified Murong Clan disciples to enter the Sword Gauntlet.

The people from the Linghu Family and Tempest Mountain followed after…

Lastly, Chu Kuangren too had arrived at the scene with Nangong Huang and the others.

Their group had attracted a lot of attention when they arrived, with most of it focused on Chu Kuangren who stood at the forefront of the group.

News of Chu Kuangren killing an Honorable Swordsman with two-thirds of his sword qi a few days ago had already spread far and wide, and it had caused a sensation in the whole Hidden Sword Canyon.

The sky-prides of each great orthodoxies were extremely curious about him.

“So this guy is Chu Kuangren, ranked first in the Hundred Sword Spectrum!”

“He’s very extraordinary indeed.”

“Rumor has it that this person’s combat ability is extremely powerful. He can easily kill an Honorable and even an Honorable Supreme. It seems like this guy will be the biggest enemy for everyone during this excursion.”

Having seen Chu Kuangren, some female cultivators looked at him with googly eyes. They suddenly felt that all the men around them were worthless in comparison to him.

In the direction of the Tempest Mountain group, a swordsman holding a sword, dressed in commoner clothes and shoes, was staring at Chu Kuangren with fighting intent in his eyes.

Upon noticing his gaze, Chu Kuangren looked back at him as well.

However, unlike the commoner-clothed swordsman’s gaze who was filled with fighting intent, Chu Kuangren’s expression was very calm. He merely took a look at him and looked away right after.

“Oh, isn’t that a disdainful look?”

The commoner-clothed swordsman’s eyebrows quirked.

Many sword cultivators around him had noticed that scene as well.

“Tsk, the Tempest Mountain’s Lunatic Swordsman has targeted Chu Kuangren now.”

“The Lunatic Swordsman’s strength is no joke. It’s rumored that he has defeated several ancient sky-prides. He’s crazy for swords and his power is extremely terrifying.”

“Just before Chu Kuangren entered the world, the older generation of strong sword cultivators once said this person’s swordsmanship was ranked first among the younger generation.”

Everyone in the crowd discussed secretly.

The Lunatic Swordsman, whose real name was Ling Feng, was a Young Emperor of the Tempest Mountain. Among the Young Emperors, his strength could definitely be ranked in the top five.

Due to his crazy obsession with swords, his keen interest in challenging swordsmanship masters, and not letting even the older generation sword cultivators go, he was hence known to everyone as the Lunatic Swordsman.

Chu Kuangren was not so interested in that so-called Lunatic Swordsman.

He had just used the Eye of Revelation to check out everyone at the scene and realized that there was no one around who could make him get serious.

On the other hand, something strange was going on with the people in his group instead.

“Murong, what’s the matter?”

Chu Kuangren looked at Murong Xuan and asked. Ever since they came to Sword Gauntlet, he had been hiding at the back of the group as if he was unwilling to face a certain someone.

“It’s nothing.” Murong Xuan shook his head.

“Hey, isn’t that Young Master Murong over there?”

At that time, a teasing voice came from the Murong Clan’s group.

A young man walked out from the group, looked at Murong Xuan, and said, “We haven’t seen you in many years, Young Master Murong. We thought you might’ve died in some terrible alleyway somewhere, but never did we expect you to end up at the Black Heaven Sect instead.”

Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.

He did not expect Murong Xuan to have some conflict with the Murong Clan.

“What do you want, Murong Hai?”

Murong Xuan asked with an unpleasant expression.

“Nothing much. I just want to have a chat with your fellow brothers and sisters, that’s all. From the looks of it, I guess they don’t know that you were born from the Murong Clan’s lowly servant, right?” Murong Hai said teasingly.

Several of the Murong Clan’s disciples looked at Murong Xuan’s unpleasant expression from behind him as if they were enjoying a good show.

“A Young Master, given birth by a lowly maid, can’t even get along in the Murong Clan and so he ran to the Black Heaven Sect to become some Daoist there. Now that I think of it, you people from the Black Heaven Sect really have no standards for accepting a random piece of garbage like him…”

Murong Hai was just speaking when a sudden surge of overbearing Daoist Rhyme erupted from beside him. His expression changed the moment it happened, and he immediately urged forth his Daoist Rhyme to resist that attack.

However, that overbearing surge of Daoist Rhyme formed into a majestic Godly Mountain that instantly landed on him, and its violent impact immediately sent him flying hundreds of feet away. He then tumbled on the ground dozens of times before he eventually hit the rock wall of the canyon.

“Buzzing and humming all around like a fly, how annoying.” Chu Kuangren fiddled with his fingers slowly as some remnants of the terrifying Daoist Rhymes swirled around his fingertips. It was obvious that he was the one who attacked just now.

“Chu Kuangren, you’ve gone too far!”

“You dare take action even before the Sages?”

“D*mn it!”

Everyone from the Murong Clan immediately glared at Chu Kuangren angrily.

With that, multiple surges of Daoist Rhyme erupted and headed towards him.

However, Chu Kuangren’s gaze turned cold, and a Sword-based Daoist Rhyme that was far more terrifying than theirs surged forth. It instantly dispersed everyone’s Daoist Rhyme like a tsunami, causing every disciple of the Murong Clan to turn pale.

“You guys are the ones who’ve gone too far!

“I don’t care about the conflict you Murong Clan people have with Murong Xuan, but there’s no doubt that he’s a Daoist of the Black Heaven Sect now! So your insults and humiliation towards him are a provocation towards my Black Heaven Sect!

“Based on that matter alone, not killing that guy on the spot earlier is already the best gesture I can offer in the face of your Murong Clan’s Sage.

“If any of you still can’t watch your mouth, then I shall end you!”

Chu Kuangren’s words were as sharp as a knife while his gaze was as sharp as a sword. His words made the disciples of the Murong Clan and others present speechless, and the expression on their faces shifted.

Meanwhile, Nangong Huang, Jun Yi, and the others all stood by Chu Kuangren’s side and glared at the Murong Clan’s people with a chilling gaze. Their message was clear.

Murong Xuan would not be insulted, and the Black Heaven Sect would never be humiliated as pleased!

“Alright, stop making a fuss now.”

At that time, a voice could be heard from the void.

Everyone was suddenly in awe.

It was a Sage!

“Young people just like to have little fights and quarrel.”

“Oh, so provoking my Black Heaven Sect is also a little fight then?”

The voices of two Sages rang out.

Chu Kuangren remembered one of them as it was the voice of the Black Heaven’s Third Forefather.

“Black Heaven Third Brother, do you still intend on pursuing this matter?”

“Hmph. You should be thankful for Chu Kuangren’s kind action since he only gave that little sly-mouthed junior a slap on the face. If not for that, I would’ve ended him on the spot.”

The Black Heaven’s Third Forefather snorted softly.

Upon hearing those words, everyone could not help but shudder as they looked at the half-dead Murong Hai who was blasted into the rock wall in a distance by a palm attack.

‘Tsk, oh how kind he is. That guy is only beaten half to death, that’s all.’

Hum…

At that moment, the void started to tremble. Not far away, the Sword Gauntlet retracted the sword qi that it had emitted, and the sealed great gate of Sword Gauntlet soon opened with a creak.

An ancient and sharp Daoist Rhyme emanated out of the Sword Gauntlet.

Everyone then looked towards the Sword Gauntlet.

“The Sword Gauntlet has opened, let them in.”

The Sage’s voice sounded once again.

The people from the Tempest Mountain were the first to enter. After that, the representatives of the other orthodoxies too passed through the Sages’ restriction one by one.

Only thirty people could enter the Sword Gauntlet. With five people each from the famed One Sword, One Mountain, and Two Families respectively, the other ten positions in the quota were allocated to the remaining groups to distribute.

However, something was a little different today.

Everyone noticed that only four people from the Linghu Family entered the Sword Gauntlet. The last person remained to be seen.

“Let’s go.”

Chu Kuangren patted Murong Xuan on the back and said, “We’ll talk about your matter later. Let’s go into the Sword Gauntlet now.”

“Of course, Elder Senior Brother.” Murong Xuan nodded.

With that, their group walked towards the Sword Gauntlet.

However, there were a total of six people from the Black Heaven Sect entering the Sword Gauntlet.

When everyone recalled the missing position from the Linghu Family’s quota, they then took a closer look at the Black Heaven Sect’s group who had an extra position, and they suddenly had an idea of what had happened.

“Tsk tsk, looks like the Black Heaven Sect has something on the Linghu Family, seeing that the latter is willing to give the former a position in the Sword Gauntlet’s quota.”

“Quite interesting indeed.”

“I wonder if anyone can reach the top of the Sword Gauntlet this year…”
