Chapter 175 - Fiery Temper!
Chapter 175 Fiery Temper!
Everyone in Innate or Acquired Realm were entitled to one bottle of Immortal Water, only the Grandmasters did not receive any.
All the Grandmasters wanted to ask for one, yet they were all reluctant to do so, due to their status.
“Grandmasters, our master would like to tell you that an extremely powerful sword technique is hidden in the two words ‘Chu Manor’. You are more than welcome to comprehend it. However, how much you can eventually understand will depend on your level of perception.” Titan said loudly.
“Sword technique?”
All the Grandmasters immediately grew interested in the said sword technique. They had all at least heard about Chu Xun’s strength, hence if he said there was a powerful sword technique, it must be a top-tier technique to them.
Martial skills were extremely rare on Earth. Only the most prominent sects were in possession of some, so some Grandmasters already started their attempts to comprehend this sword technique.
Even the two grade-six Grandmasters next to the problematic girl were eager to try their luck. One of them witnessed Chu Xun slaughtering Presbyter Liang from Heaven Tao Sect, who was also a grade-six Grandmaster, yet he was completely powerless against Chu Xun.
The two of them sat down one after another cross-legged and started comprehending the technique.
“My esteemed guests, since the Grandmasters will probably take quite some time comprehending the technique, I suggest that we carry on with the banquet first while waiting for them to finish.” Titan suggested.
Everyone agreed that it was a good idea.
On the other side of the plaza, tables and chairs were already set up. When everyone was seated, about a hundred tall and slim waitresses started serving food and wine to everyone. Each waitress had been carefully selected, they were all beautiful and stunning in their own ways.
Titan discreetly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He had always been bad at interacting with others, so welcoming guests was not quite a suitable task for him. Besides the three times that he had spoken earlier on, he did not dare to say anything more, as he was afraid he might tarnish Chu Xun’s name. Now he felt super lucky that the toughest part had already passed.
All warriors of Innate and Acquired Realm were now feasting to their hearts’ content. While they were enjoying the food and the wine, they occasionally gave a sideway glimpse at the Grandmasters sitting cross-legged at the other side. On normal days, they would always greet the Grandmasters politely. As long as a Grandmaster was standing, they would not dare to sit down. Now things were the complete opposite — while they were having a good time, the Grandmasters had to sit on the ground. “What a wonderful feeling! ” They thought.
“Young man, when will we see Chu the Invincible himself?” Someone asked Titan.
“We have been admiring him for a long time. The main reason for our visit this time is to witness the majestic power of Chu the Devil... I mean Devil’s Nemesis!”
“Could you invite Mr. Chu out soon? We all would like to raise a toast to thank him for gifting us the Immortal Water.”
More people expressed the same wish and the atmosphere grew much livelier than before.
Titan’s forehead was covered with sweat once more. He tried to open his mouth, yet no words could come out. He had no idea how to manage the current situation at all.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a sharp streak of Sword Qi dashed into the sky. The clouds scattered upon its impact.
Everyone was taken aback and they looked at those Grandmasters sitting cross-legged.
Among them, a grade-one Grandmaster was overly excited. Apparently he was the one who had unleashed that Sword Qi.
“Congratulations.” Some young men came forward and said to this Grandmaster.
However, this Grandmaster looked slightly disappointed. He said, “What a pity. I am still too weak, I was only able to comprehend one move.”
Everyone was astonished. “One move can already unleash such horrifying powers!”
At this moment, another grade-three Grandmaster suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with energy. He jumped into the air and shouted, “Give me my sword!”
The disciples in his sect passed him his sword immediately.
With a flick of his wrist, the body of his sword was covered in Internal Breath and it let out a loud cry. He slashed the air and several streaks of Sword Qi were unleashed toward a protruding rock on the cliff on the opposite side. “Boom!” The rock exploded under the impact of Sword Qi and debris flew all over the place.
The warriors of Innate and Acquired Realm at the side were deeply impressed by the terrifying power of that move. They were all jealous of those who were able to comprehend the technique, yet they were too weak to grasp it.
The Grandmaster was also shocked by the power of that move. He was first overwhelmed by excitement, yet he soon grew disappointed and upset, for he only comprehended two moves.
More Grandmasters then regained consciousness from their attempts to comprehend the sword technique.
The cliff opposite from them became their training ground. Multiple holes appeared due to their Sword Qi.
The lower the cultivation, the earlier one would wake up. The stronger ones were still in the midst of comprehending.
It all depended on one’s true strength. The better one was in terms of talent, level of perception and cultivation, the more one would be able to comprehend.
Until now, they were only able to comprehend up to three moves.
“Excuse me, may I know how many moves are there in total for this sword technique?” A Grandmaster asked out of curiosity.
“According to our master, there are eighteen moves in total.” Titan said.
Everyone was in great shock. “The first three moves were already terrifying enough, one can only imagine how overwhelmingly powerful the later moves will be.”
The Grandmasters who woke up earlier were now seated. While they were enjoying the feast, they also paid attention to the Grandmasters who were still comprehending the technique.
...
All of a sudden, a deep rumbling sound echoed in the sky.
“What’s going on?” Everyone thought as they looked up and were surprised by what they saw.
There were three helicopters hovering in the sky. The rumbling sounds came from their propellers.
“Where is Chu Xun?” An arrogant voice came from the speakers on the helicopters.
“Who are you?” Titan asked furiously. These people flew the helicopters right above everyone, and they dared to call Chu Xun by his name. They definitely were not here on friendly terms.
As an ordinary human, however, Titan’s voice could not reach them. It was drowned out by the sound of the strong wind made by the propellers.
At this moment, a grade-two Grandmaster stood up. There were a boy and girl next to him. The girl was holding an ancient sword, it was the Sword of Goujian.
“Who are you?” That Grandmaster shouted using his internal energy, his voice was as loud as deafening thunder.
“Our identities are not important. We are here because we can’t stand Chu Xun’s arrogance and cruelty. He slaughtered those who shared the same beliefs as him and eliminated one sect after another. Such a demon does not deserve to have a manor of his own!” The voice from the helicopter was filled with disdain.
That grade-two Grandmaster grew furious upon hearing those words. Chu Xun once did him a great favor at the outskirts of Yunyan City. If not for him, Sword of Goujian would have been stolen by Heaven Tao Sect.
“Why don’t you reveal your true identity? Cowards like you have no rights to slander Chu the Invincible.” He said angrily.
“Chu the Invincible... How shameless. How dare he call himself ‘invincible’?” The man from the helicopter mocked.
“You disgusting piece of...” That grade-two Grandmaster grew mad beyond control. He pulled out the Sword of Goujian, its sharp edge reflected a ray of light that was as cold as the moonlight in the darkest night.
Swoosh!
The Grandmaster wielded the sword and streaks of Sword Qi shot out toward the helicopter.
...
There were sparks all over the helicopter. The Sword Qi left a one-meter crack on the body of the helicopter.
There were people howling in pain inside the helicopter. It seemed they were injured by the Sword Qi.
“Is that a move that old man just learned?” Everyone thought as they were stunned by the power of his move.
Despite being at least a hundred meters above the ground, the helicopter was still pierced through by one single move. Should the elder get any closer to them, he would be able to cut it into half for sure.
“This sword technique must mean nothing to Chu Xun since he allowed anyone to comprehend it, yet this technique is already so powerful... This only means that he is in possession of even more powerful martial skills.”
That elder was apparently shocked himself too. He had never tested the move after comprehending it, so he did not expect it to have such a destructive power. He then changed from being shocked to being extremely happy.
The helicopter flew up by about ten meters. The people inside must have been terrified by the earlier move.
Swoosh!
The elder wielded his sword again, unleashing several sharp and aggressive streaks of Sword Qi.
...
The Sword Qi reached the helicopter and sparks could be seen upon the impact. However, it failed to penetrate the helicopter, only a crack was made. The helicopter was too far away for the Sword Qi to reach.
“Idiots! When Chu Xun visits Xuanji Mountain in the near future, he will die in our hands for sure. By attending this banquet organized by him, all of you are now enemies of Heaven Tao Sect, and you will suffer soon enough. All of you!” The voice from the helicopter filled the sky.
“So you guys are from Heaven Tao Sect? No wonder, only Heaven Tao Sect would do shameful things like trying to mess up things during someone’s banquet.”
The problematic girl leaned back on a chair and rested her long legs on the edge of a table. She blew a perfect smoke ring after making that comment.
Everyone was stunned at her comment. The problematic girl truly lived up to her title, she did not hold back at all when she wanted to make caustic remarks about someone, not even Heaven Tao Sect, who were one of the top sects.
Nonetheless, all the guests liked her fiery temper. In fact, they almost praised her for being so bold and straightforward.
