Chu Kuangren single-handedly defeated a few more Forbidden sky-prides. His invincible aura was like that of a Deity King that shook the heavens and earth.
He stood in the air and looked at Zi Wuji, who had only used one Freeze rune, and smirked. "Your eyes look pretty good."
He used his Eye of Revelation to analyze this person.
He realized that this person came from the Land of Runes and was an expert in runic techniques. His eyes, especially, contained a very powerful runic energy.
"I'm impressed by your combat strength."
Zi Wuji said as he looked at Chu Kuangren's imposing aura with a serious expression.
So many Forbidden sky-prides could not defeat this person, so he alone was no match for him.
"Do you want to fight?" Chu Kuangren asked.
"I saw that you used the Spatial Freeze rune just now, so you must be an expert in runic Dao. Why don't we use runic Dao to determine the winner?"
Zi Wuji suggested.
Many sky-prides cursed him for being shameless when they heard his suggestion.
As the Forbidden sky-pride of the Land of Runes, Zi Wuji's runic techniques were almost invincible in the Emperor's Path.
No matter how strong Chu Kuangren was, he had so many cultivation techniques. How could a single runic technique compare to Zi Wuji, who specialized in runic research?
At that thought, everyone looked at Chu Kuangren, thinking that he would not agree.
However, they hoped that he would agree.
Even if Zi Wuji won in the end, they would not care as long as they could defeat Chu Kuangren.
"That's amazing. You can choose which technique to use to determine the winner?"
Chu Kuangren could not help but chuckle.
Zi Wuji was speechless for a moment.
Indeed.
Chu Kuangren had the absolute upper hand now. No one there was a match for him, so he could do whatever he wanted. He did not have to care about Zi Wuji at all.
"However, it seems like you're very confident in your runic techniques to make such a suggestion," Chu Kuangren said.
"I'm a little confident."
"Since you want to use runic techniques to determine the winner, I'll grant you your wish."
"Oh, so you agree?"
Zi Wuji's eyes lit up. He did not expect Chu Kuangren to agree.
"Yes, but since you're so confident, why don't we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"I heard that the Land of Runes' Myriad Rune Catalog records all the runes since ancient times. If you lose, I want the Myriad Rune Catalog!"
That was the reason why Chu Kuangren agreed to it.
He wanted to obtain the Ten Thousand Talisman Catalog to increase his talisman techniques.
"That's impossible. The Ten Thousand Symbol Catalog is the treasure of the Land of Runes. It's impossible for it to be leaked easily. Furthermore, the catalog is in the Land of Runes. I don't have it on me."
"Forget it then."
Chu Kuangren said calmly. Following that, the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme emanated from his body and a gigantic sword shadow formed in the void.
The sword shadow exuded an incomparably sharp aura, and Zi Wuji felt as if his body was being enveloped by that aura, causing him to feel a stabbing pain.
Without a doubt, if this sword were to descend, then even he would absolutely not have a good time.
Chu Kuangren's meaning was very clear. Since using runic techniques to determine the outcome of the battle would not benefit him in any way, why should he do so?
I'll kill you with one strike, take the treasure and leave. Isn't that nice?
"Please wait a moment!"
Zi Wuji shouted and said, "Although I don't have the original Ten Thousand Talisman Catalog with me, I do have a rubbed version here. Aside from a few core forbidden runic techniques, the rest of the runes are recorded in it. I'm willing to use that as a wager."
Upon hearing that, Chu Kuangren slowly retracted his sword qi and pondered for a while. "That's fine too."
"Alright, then it's settled. You and I will use runic techniques to determine the outcome of the battle. If I'm lucky enough to win, then this wood elemental essence will belong to me. If I lose, then I'll give you the rubbed version of the Ten Thousand Talisman Catalog," Zi Wuji said as a demonic purple light began to swirl in his eyes.
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. "Sure."
"Bring it on then!"
Zi Wuji laughed, looking as if he was determined to win. In his heart, he was already cursing Chu Kuangren for being an idiot.
When it came to runic techniques, no one could compare to the Land of Runes.
As the Forbidden Sky-Pride of the Land of Runes, Zi Wuji's runic techniques were renowned throughout the Emperor's Path.
He did not know where Chu Kuangren learned some runic techniques from, but if he wanted to compete with Zi Wuji, he was simply overestimating himself.
Zi Wuji was a professional!
Zi Wuji then began to channel his spiritual power, and a mysterious rune began to form at the tip of his finger.
That rune then turned into a giant fireball that flew towards Chu Kuangren. Its power was no less than that of a top-tier Sage Ruler.
The fact that Zi Wuji was able to condense such a rune so easily was a testament to his mastery of runes.
However, just as the giant fireball was about to reach Chu Kuangren, a golden rune condensed in the void and turned into a golden shield.
The fireball landed on the shield and exploded. It could not hurt Chu Kuangren at all.
Zi Wuji was a little surprised. It was not that Chu Kuangren had blocked his attack, but the way his opponent condensed the rune was very unique. He did not even use his own spiritual power.
Instead, he directly condensed the spiritual qi between heaven and earth.
"What kind of runic technique is this?"
Zi Wuji had been in the Runic Lands for a long time, but he had never heard of anyone who could activate runes in such a way.
"Why did you stop? Let's continue. Let me see what the Runic Lands are capable of."
Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Even Zi Wuji would not have guessed that a talent like mind power existed in this world. After all, it was an inheritance that had been lost a long time ago.
"Be careful, sir."
Zi Wuji continued to attack. He gathered his spiritual power, and lines of runes began to form at the tip of his finger.
The green runes condensed and turned into wind ropes that flew towards Chu Kuangren, intending to entangle him.
However, they were all cut in half by the runic swords that Chu Kuangren had condensed.
Following that, lines of azure runes appeared in front of Zi Wuji. From them, bolts of lightning energy erupted and shot towards Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren stood still and unleashed his runic swords one after another.
"Windfrost Rune!"
"Lightning Rune!"
"Windstorm Rune …"
Runes used the power of heaven and earth.
Without a doubt, Zi Wuji was an expert in this field. The lines of runes turned into all sorts of powerful natural powers that swept towards Chu Kuangren.
Lightning, wind, fire, frost …
Endless runes were cast from Zi Wuji's hands, turning into all sorts of natural powers that swept towards Chu Kuangren. It was extremely dazzling.
The surrounding sky-prides could not help but be amazed at this rare rune battle.
"As expected of the Forbidden Sky-Pride of the Runic Lands. His runic techniques are really powerful."
"Indeed. I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world who can match up to him. Even if there are, it would be those old monsters from the Runic Lands."
However, the crowd soon realized that Chu Kuangren was not at a disadvantage against Zi Wuji at all.
No matter what kind of runes the other party used, he could block them with his rune swords. He just stood there with a calm look on his face.
"I can't believe this person's runic techniques are this powerful!"
Wang Quan, Bai Hongyu, and the others were shocked.
They could not find any weakness in Chu Kuangren.
Physical body, spiritual power, sword Dao, runes … This person was proficient in all of them!
