"Sect Leader, I want to become an Emperor!!"
Murong Xuan suddenly said with determination.
Chu Kuangren, who heard him, had a strange look in his eyes. He then smiled and nodded. "Good. I'm glad that you have such ambition."
It was great that Murong Xuan did not fall into depression.
In fact, Murong Xuan's Daoist core was strong enough that he would not fall into depression over this matter.
"I want to become an Emperor! Only by becoming an Emperor can I break through all obstacles. What Swordsmen? What Hope Sound Sect? They can all go to hell! "
Murong Xuan looked at the end of the Emperor's Path with an unprecedented fighting spirit.
"The power of love is indeed great." Shang Qingxue, who was beside him, marveled.
After the three left Hope Sound Sect, they went to an inn in Seven Chord City and stayed there for the time being.
Although the Emperor Weapon, Spring Thunder, had already recognized its master, Chu Kuangren still needed to refine it before he could fully unleash its power.
Since Spring Thunder had recognized its master, the process was not too long.
Coupled with his current cultivation level, it took less than two days for Chu Kuangren to completely refine the Spring Thunder.
During this process, a piece of news suddenly came.
Jian Changfeng of the Swordsmen had suddenly challenged Chu Kuangren to a duel at Night City, which was not far from Seven Chord City.
Regarding this sudden news, everyone in Seven String City was incomparably shocked.
Although Jian Changfeng was quite powerful and was one of the top sky-prides in the Emperor's Path, Chu Kuangren's strength had far surpassed his when he battled the Guqin Demon, Painted Ghost two days ago. Where did Jian Changfeng get the confidence to challenge Chu Kuangren?
Shang Qingxue and Murong Xuan were puzzled too.
"Is this guy out of his mind?"
"I don't think it's that simple. There must be something we don't know about."
Inside the inn, Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue were conversing.
At that time, Chu Kuangren had also come out of his closed-door meditation.
Then, Murong Xuan told him about Jian Changfeng.
After listening, Chu Kuangren could not help but reveal a playful look. "Challenge me? Where does this guy get his courage from? "
"Sect Leader, there must be a trick behind this."
"Heh, that's for sure. But since we have nothing better to do anyway, we might as well see what this guy is up to."
Chu Kuangren said with interest.
Then, he asked Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue to stay in the inn for the time being.
For safety's sake, he left a strand of sword qi on each of them.
This sword qi could be used to defend against enemies, and at the same time, it could also be used by Chu Kuangren to locate their whereabouts. This way, he would not lose contact with them like before.
After making the necessary preparations, Chu Kuangren headed to Night Light City to find out what was going on.
…
Compared to Seven Flux City, Ye City was just a small city.
However, a few days ago, the city suddenly lost all contact with the outside world. The entire city seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force.
Looking at Ye City from the outside, there was not a single person in the city. It was empty, like a ghost city.
When Chu Kuangren arrived in the sky above Night City, he noticed that something was amiss.
"This is … the mark of a formation?"
In order to set up the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation in the past, Chu Kuangren had studied formations on his own for a period of time.
His attainments couldn't be said to be very deep, but he could still detect the extremely obvious traces of an array formation around Ye City.
"Someone has set up a huge formation in Night Light City. Is it Jian Changfeng?"
"No, I've used the Eye of Revelation to look at him, but I didn't find any information about him knowing about formations. It must be someone else who set up this formation."
There was indeed something fishy going on in Night Light City.
In a flash, Chu Kuangren stepped into Night Light City.
Once he stepped into Night Light City, it was as if he had entered another world.
It was a … purgatory!
Around Chu Kuangren, the people and cultivators of Night Light City were all lying on the ground, lifeless. The air was filled with the thick stench of blood.
Chu Kuangren frowned and spread his spiritual thoughts outwards.
The elderly, the children, the women, the cultivators …
Not even a dog or a bird survived! Not a single one of them was spared!
It was not that there were no people in Night Light City!
Instead, they were all dead people!
The scene in front of them was too shocking.
Although Night Light City was not large in size, it still had a population of tens of millions. Yet now, not a single one of them was left alive!
Before this, there had been no news at all.
"Who did this? Is it just to deal with me??"
A cold murderous intent shot out from Chu Kuangren's eyes.
In a flash, he arrived at the center of Night Light City.
There was a tall building there, and on top of it stood a white-robed young man. This person had a longsword on his waist and a guqin on his back. He looked extraordinarily handsome.
This person was the one who challenged Chu Kuangren to a duel, Jian Changfeng.
"I'm here. Tell your companions to come out too. Let's end this quickly, shall we?" Chu Kuangren said.
"Oh, aren't you curious as to why everyone in this city died?"
"They're already dead. What can we do even if we don't know?"
"Tsk tsk, what a cold-hearted guy. You should know that these people died because of you!"
Jian Changfeng laughed as he stared at Chu Kuangren, wanting to see his expression.
However, to his disappointment, Chu Kuangren's expression did not change at all.
"If you're trying to mess with my Daoist core, then you're sorely mistaken."
Chu Kuangren said calmly. His Daoist core was as firm as a rock. Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, no one could shake it.
There was no need to even mention Jian Chang Feng's words.
"I don't think even a cultivator who cultivates the Heartless Dao has a heart as cold as yours. Aren't you afraid that these people will turn into evil spirits and seek revenge on you?"
"You talk too much."
Chu Kuangren's eyes turned cold. Before the Descendant Self Sword appeared on his waist, a cold sword qi shot out from his eyes.
Jian Changfeng's expression changed. He immediately pulled out his longsword and unleashed a sword qi of his own.
However, compared to Chu Kuangren's sword qi, Jian Changfeng's sword qi was far too weak.
The moment the sword qi collided, Jian Changfeng's sword qi was instantly shattered. The cold sword qi then landed on Jian Changfeng's Sage body like a hot knife through butter.
Without any suspense, Jian Changfeng's body was instantly sliced in half!
However, the strange thing was that no blood spurted out of his body.
With a burst of smoke, Jian Changfeng's body turned into a wooden puppet and fell to the ground.
The wooden puppet had been sliced in half by the sword qi, and mysterious runes were carved on it. A strange runic power circulated before it disappeared.
"Oh, a wooden puppet with runes carved on it. It even has a runic power that I've never seen before. Interesting."
Chu Kuangren smirked as he looked into the distance.
The real Jian Changfeng was standing dozens of kilometers away, staring at Chu Kuangren with fear in his eyes. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
"How terrifying. If I didn't activate the wooden puppet in time, the real me would've been sliced in half by the sword qi."
"He didn't even draw his sword. Just a single strand of sword Qi possesses such power. Not only does this person have unfathomable attainments in the Way of the Zither, even his attainments in the Way of the Sword are countless times greater than mine. He can even stand shoulder to shoulder with the Son of Dao.
Jian Changfeng said with lingering fear.
