Chapter 175: Shattered In A Single Strike, The Four Seasons Sword Formation, Lu Yan’s Thoughts

The sword qis merged to form a raging tornado.

As such, Chu Kuangren lifted his hands. With a thrust of his palm, the power of the Human Mountain Stamp suddenly erupted, shattering the tornado easily.

“What?” Linghu Teng’s face morphed into disbelief.

“I don’t know where you get that courage from, to think a mere clone dares to stand before me.” Chu Kuangren said coldly. The Daoist runes in his eyes swirled as he thoroughly analyzed Linghu Teng.

The figure before him was not Linghu Teng’s actual body but a clone that was conjured from a special technique.

“How did you know that it was a clone?!” Linghu Teng was shocked. Even the Jade Watersword’s Sect Master could not tell, yet Chu Kuangren somehow saw right through it!

“Hmph, I can still defeat you with a clone!” Linghu Teng cried out as surges of sword qi flew out from his body and merged around him to form a giant sword shadow. It released a boundless and godly light that then cut down at Chu Kuangren.

The power of his strike was equivalent to an Honorable!

“Defeating me with a clone? What a joke.”

With a lift of his hand, Chu Kuangren gathered his spiritual power and majestic earth qi, forming a Godly Mountain that crushed and shattered the sword qi. The strike landed directly on Linghu Teng, and he burst open alive in an explosion of blood!

The Jade Watersword Sect disciples were shell-shocked.

Although that was only Linghu Teng’s clone, it was still plenty terrifying to them. Even their most elite Daoist was powerless before the enemy.

Chu Kuangren blew him up with just one light palm technique!

“Darling Linghu!”

In the crowd, Lu Yan’s face flooded with grief.

He had promised to bring her home to the Linghu family! With the Linghu family, she would soon rise to the top!

However, now all her hopes had crumbled to dust with Chu Kuangren’s single palm attack.

In the sky, the Jade Watersword’s Sect Master was equally shaken by Chu Kuangren’s sheer power. As an Honorable Supreme, she asked herself if she could have withstood Chu Kuangren’s blow earlier. The answer was yes, but she certainly would not come out unscathed.

Not to mention that this was not even his full power.

In fact, this was not even half of it!

“The Linghu family cannot protect the Jade Watersword Sect!”

“Now, make your choice.”

Chu Kuangren straightened his posture. Behind him, a group of combat disciples stood at the ready with overwhelming sword qis, pressuring the Jade Watersword’s Sect Master.

Faced with this dilemma, the Jade Watersword’s Sect Master’s face flashed with a myriad of expressions before finally letting out a resigned sigh. “We surrender.”

“Wise choice.” Chu Kuangren stated indifferently.

Their fate was sealed the moment their Senior Elder made his move against Honorable Xuan Qi.

The Jade Watersword Sect then deactivated their barrier, and the group of Black Heaven Sect’s cultivators rushed in. None dared to stop them.

Everything else after that went smoothly. The Jade Watersword Sect opened their treasure vault, library archives, secret realms, and other resources for Chu Kuangren and his party to take at will. That was the price they had to pay.

After that day, word of the Jade Watersword Sect becoming the Black Heaven Sect’s vassal spread far and wide, causing quite the commotion.

…

In the Scarlet Phoenix Domain.

Terrifying energy burst from one of the Linghu family’s palaces. “Chu Kuangren! The sky is too small for both of us!”

The maids and servants in the palace squirmed on the floor, shivering in fear, clueless as to why their Young Emperor was suddenly so enraged.

In the room, Linghu Teng’s face was so dark that it could resemble a black hole.

Chu Kuangren may have killed his clone only, but it was still made out of his painstaking effort and hard work!

All that hard work was now destroyed by Chu Kuangren!

To make matters worse, all it took was one palm strike!

He was so pissed off that he wanted to vomit blood.

“Just you wait, Chu Kuangren!”

…

In the Jade Watersword Sect.

Chu Kuangren was resting and recovering.

It would take a few days to get all the Jade Watersword Sect’s affairs in order. All the treasures needed to be cataloged, and he needed to go through every disciple list thoroughly.

Of course, none of that worried him.

The next day.

“Congratulations, the host has rolled the legendary spell, Four Seasons Sword Formation!”

Chu Kuangren’s eyes lit up

Legendary spell?

Upon obtaining the spell, a feeling of enlightenment filled his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

“This is such a powerful spell!”

The Four Seasons Sword Formation may sound tame, but its power was utterly fearful and mysterious.

After all, would a simple spell really be classified as legendary?

The spell had four layers to it — the Four Seasons, the Twelve Months, the Twenty-four Solar Terms, and the Three Hundred And Sixty-Five Days.

The mystery of the changing seasons and the passing of time swirled within it.

The spell’s power levels were also tied closely to the caster’s cultivation base. So the higher one’s cultivation base was, the more terrifying the spell’s power would be.

“The Four Seasons require four swords to execute, while the Twelve Months require twelve swords, and so on. Since the Sacred Emerald Sword Case currently has twenty-seven swords, I can execute up to the third layer realm.”

“With this sword spell, my combat powers can grow again.”

Chu Kuangren muttered.

To think he previously wondered what he was going to do with all the swords in the sword case; this was perfect timing for him to obtain a sword spell from the gacha roll

Suddenly, a knock came from outside the door.

“Come in.”

A beautiful young lady wearing a green dress walked in.

Seeing her, Chu Kuangren frowned slightly. “Who are you?”

“Greetings, Master. My name is Lu Yan. The Sect Master instructed me to serve you.” Lu Yan looked at Chu Kuangren as she said affectionately.

She suddenly realized that Linghu Teng could not hold a candle to Chu Kuangren’s looks, power, and status at all. Latching herself onto him would be much more beneficial than Linghu Teng.

“Serve me? I have no need for that. Leave.”

“Is Master unhappy with Lu Yan in any way?”

“No. I simply don’t need you.”

“But the Sect Leader arranged for this. If I leave just like that, she will punish me.” Lu Yan sounded like she was about to tear up.

Chu Kuangren frowned. “Leave. I’ll speak to the Jade Watersword’s Sect Master about this. You will not be punished.”

Lu Yan could only grit her teeth and leave.

She ran into Lan Yu before she exited and when she saw the lady’s stunning face, she felt shame creep into her heart.

“No wonder he’s not interested in me. He already has someone so stunning beside him,” Lu Yan thought to herself. However, upon seeing the faint hostility that was coming from Lan Yu’s eyes, she promptly lowered her head and exited the room.

Lan Yu furrowed her brows. “Master, who was that woman?”

“Someone that the Jade Watersword’s Sect Master sent to serve me. I rejected it.”

Chu Kuangren responded dismissively.

“I see.”

Lan Yu whispered under her breath, watching him.

She then realized in the next few days that Lu Yan would often appear in front of Chu Kuangren. She even got into the good graces of some Black Heaven Sect disciples to figure out what he liked, his habits, and the likes.

It clicked for Lan Yu.

This woman was trying to seduce him, and even though Chu Kuangren paid no attention to Lu Yan, it still ticked Lan Yu off.

It was especially when Lan Yu caught wind of something, she snapped.

“Miss Lan Yu, I made some biscuits and cakes especially for Master Chu. Is he in?” Lu Yan asked with a sickly sweet smile.

Lu Yan was standing outside Chu Kuangren’s room, holding a wooden box.

Lan Yu looked at her coldly. “My Master isn’t here. You need not come here anymore.”
