Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Luo Yan was engaged in a fierce fight with Zhuo Tianchang.

Zhuo Tianchang was a Seventh-grade True Immortal, which made him two grades higher than Luo Yan.

Although Luo Yan possessed the Scarlet Tear, Zhuo Tianchang was confident that he would be the ultimate victor of the fight.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that his fate was sealed before the fight even began.

Clunk! Clank!

Swords clashed furiously in the sky, releasing sword qi that wreaked havoc around the area.

Even though Luo Yan had help from the Scarlet Tear, the two grades' difference in cultivation level placed her at a disadvantage, and she might lose the fight at any moment.

"Why?! Why can't I use it?! I was a lot stronger back then than now."

A while ago, when the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist and Luo Yifeng slaughtered the disciples of the Luo clan, her Scarlet Tear provided her with the explosive power that allowed her to escape.

However, she could not use the Scarlet Tear's power anymore, which annoyed and infuriated her.

The Scarlet Tear would only release its power when the user was in a sorrowful state.

Had she forgotten the feeling?

Had she not gone through enough after witnessing the slaughter of her people?

"Rumor has it that the Scarlet Tear has a certain chance to rival an Honorable Supreme Immortal Physique, but the chances are too low," Chu Kuangren said as he watched from afar.

He believed it was time for him to intervene as he would not want Zhuo Tianchang to kill Luo Yan.

With a flick of his fingers, he unleashed a sword qi forward.

Swoosh!

The sword qi shot across the sky like a dazzling meteor, frightening Gods and deities alike.

It was the Godfearing Daoist Sword Technique!

Zhuo Tianchang was one move away from ending Luo Yan's life before he was enveloped by an immense pressure that numbed his scalp and sent chills down his spine.

"Damn it!"

Horrified, Zhuo Tianchang turned around and hurled a slash forward.

Clunk!

His slash clashed with the incoming sword qi.

Unfortunately, after a painful scream, his sword flew off with a trail of blood behind it, and his entire arm burst into pieces. The impact then sent him flying backward.

"This power… Impossible!"

Zhuo Tianchang was horrified, but he did not have the time to ponder because his priority would be to escape alive.

Before he knew it, the sky was covered with silvery white Daoist patterns, and a terrifying surge of spacetime energy locked down the entire realm.

"You, from the Holy Violet Pavilion, shall die," a composed voice said.

Chu Kuangren, Iceworm Ru Xue, and Shi Ying slowly approached from the sky.

A terrifying pressure locked onto Zhuo Tianchang, pinning him on the spot.

"Chu Kuangren!"

He fell into despair when he saw Chu Kuangren.

"Chu Kuangren, we've never crossed paths. Why are you after me?"

"Hmph. Really? Don't you know what you've just done?" Iceworm Ru Xue said coldly.

Seeing her proud expression gave Zhuo Tianchang a sudden epiphany. "The two of you are related?"

His expression changed. Then, he clenched his teeth and channeled his Immortal's Core energy to the limit. He even ignited his life essence to supply himself with enough energy.

"Do you really think I'll sit back and let you take my life? Holy Violet Nova Explosion," Zhuo Tianchang shouted.

Violet Immortal Sparks shimmered, and countless Daoist patterns intertwined in the void, forming a massive galaxy that was hurled at Chu Kuangren.

That was Zhuo Tianchang's last resort.

However, Chu Kuangren remained nonchalant and simply swung forward in the void with his sword hand sign.

The ruthless torrential-like sword qi destroyed the galaxy in the blink of an eye.

This time, Zhuo Tianchang was sent flying further away. Countless sword marks ravaged his body, leaving him in a weak and bloody state. Like a candle in the wind, he might die any moment.

"How is this possible?!"

He, a Seventh-grade True Immortal, could not even last one hit from Chu Kuangren.

Chu Kuangren did not even use his full power or not even half of it! Maybe, it was even less than that.

Chu Kuangren swung another slash forward since the first did not completely kill Zhuo Tianchang.

"Chu Kuangren! When the Holy Violet Imperial Commander arrives, he will behead you and avenge all of us! Glory to the Immortal Hall!" Zhuo Tianchang shouted his last grievance in his final moments.

After that, the sword qi blasted him into a cloud of blood mist.

Chu Kuangren was not bothered by his warning. Instead, he grabbed Zhuo Tianchang's Yin and Yang Ring and found quite a number of treasures inside.

However, none caught Chu Kuangren's attention.

Hence, he tossed it to Iceworm Ru Xue and said, "You guys can split it."

Iceworm Ru Xue was surprised by Chu Kuangren's generosity. After all, there must be something in the Yin and Yang Ring that she could use.

"Thank you, Master."

Iceworm Ru Xue took the ring and selected a few items she could use before giving the others to Shi Ying.

Then, Luo Yan came up to Chu Kuangren and looked at him with utmost gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Chu, for saving me."

"It's nothing." Chu Kuangren smiled. "Why did you get into a fight with him?"

"What else could it be? It's because of the things I had. Plundering and robbing is a common thing around here," Luo Yan said with a shake of her head.

Being weak was a sin, and because she was weaker than Zhuo Tianchang, he tried to rob and kill her.

Being weak even meant one had no right to stay alive.

It reminded her of the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, and it fueled her resentment. Due to her weakness, she could not save her people from their horrible fates.

She looked at Chu Kuangren with her eyes flickering. As if she had made up her mind, she said, "Brother Chu, I'd like to ask for your help to help me avenge the fallen disciples of the Luo clan."

"Are you misunderstanding something?" Chu Kuangren's smile faded a little. "I helped you once because it was convenient. Do you think I have the time for your little vendetta?"

"If Brother Chu is willing to help me, I will answer every one of your demands."

"Any kind of demands?"

Chu Kuangren skeptically sized up Luo Yan.

His gaze made her uncomfortable, but she bit the bullet because the murderers of her people were still at large. "Yes! Anything it takes."

"Even if I want you to call me master?"

"I…" Luo Yan's expression changed.

The Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist wanted her to submit to him, but she refused, hence the death of her people.

Now, in order to avenge her fallen clan members, she had to call Chu Kuangren her master?

Both situations felt unusually similar or ironic, to say the least.

She was struggling with her own thoughts about whether to call Chu Kuangren her master.

Chu Kuangren glanced at her conflicted expression. He knew Luo Yan was unlike the Iceworm Ru Xue. On the contrary, Luo Yan was much more stubborn and persistent.

"I was just joking," Chu Kuangren said with a smile. "I have beef with the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist, and if I meet him, I won't let him escape alive. As for Luo Yifeng, I believe you can handle him yourself."

Time was crucial in converting Luo Yan into his ally.

If he forced her to submit to him now, it would only plant an unpleasant memory in her mind, and true loyalty could never be achieved.

"Thank you." Luo Yan sighed a breath of relief.

As long as Chu Kuangren agreed to deal with the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoists and the other two, she could deal with Luo Yifeng herself.

It seemed like Chu Kuangren was unlike the Mountain Ghoul Divine Daoist who loved to force people into following his will.

The two were drastically different from each other, and the thought increased her fondness for Chu Kuangren.

In addition to the fact that he saved her, it would foreshadow that she would be his ally in the future.

Meanwhile, several uninvited guests arrived at the deepest part of Arcane Deity Palace.

"We finally found it."

Eastern Sky Divine Daoist smiled at the dazzling palace.
