Chapter 2176 Sword Twenty-three, Killing Jue Jian, A Wonderful Surprise

Two shockingly powerful bursts of sword qi were clas.h.i.+ng violently above Myriad Arms City.

One was filled with an aura of destruction, while the other was razor-sharp and domineering as if it could slash everything apart.

Those two surges of sword qi were the embodiment of absolute offensive power!

Meanwhile, two figures could be seen standing at the ends of both surges of sword qi. Their Grand Dao auras were constantly pouring out into their respective sword qi.

It was Chu Kuangren and Jue Jian.

"Die, Chu Kuangren!" Jue Jian roared.

The power of his sword aura skyrocketed.

It was on the brink of overpowering Chu Kuanrgen.

However, Chu Kuangren chuckled. At that point, he no longer held back the Grand Dao energy inside him. His Grand Dao power, which had undergone the ultimate level of enhancement, fully erupted!

Due to that, the might of his Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique skyrocketed.

Its terrifying divine might rose into the air, tearing apart everything in its way.

"Boom!"

That power suppressed the sword ray formed by the Sword Twenty-two technique and tore through it, effortlessly slas.h.i.+ng it into two. The terrifying sword qi brutally consumed that attack before Jue Jian's eyes!

As the barrage of sword qi swept across the sky, the clouds and void within hundreds of kilometers were destroyed. It created a black sword ravine hundreds of kilometers long on the surface of the ground.

That very scene made many of the cultivators who rushed to check out what happened gasp.

"What a powerful sword qi!"

"How frightening!"

Instead of the destruction caused by the sword qi, they were more shocked by the Grand Dao energy fluctuation contained within the sword qi. That fluctuation was the one that caused the Great Dao inside them to tremble as if they were afraid.

The sword qi wreaked havoc everywhere it went.

When the sword qi dispersed, a person covered in blood was standing in the air. A violent and murderous sword intent was emanating from his body, striking fear into the hearts of anyone who laid eyes on him.

That person was Jue Jian.

"Oh, he's not dead yet."

Chu Kuangren was a little surprised.

He vaguely noticed a blood-colored dagger inside Jue Jian's chest, and it contained an extremely powerful Grand Dao energy fluctuation.

It seemed to be a crystal created from the Sword Great Dao.

"Some sort of Sword Dao item, huh? It looks like it blocked that attack for him, allowing him to survive that attack," Chu Kuangren thought.

Meanwhile, Jue Jian was glaring at Chu Kuangren with murderous intent. "Chu Kuangren, I have fought thousands of battles with swords, but I have never been reduced to such a sorry state before. Even if I must forgo all the Sword Dao cultivation I've acc.u.mulated so far, I will kill you!"

Jue Jian was a very violent and cruel person.

He was not only ruthless to everyone but to himself as well.

As soon as he spoke, an incredibly brutal Grand Dao energy fluctuation erupted from his body. The dagger in his chest immediately broke down and merged with the Great Dao in his body.

"This Spiritual Blood Sword Treasure is a unique secret treasure that the Sword Universe's Divine Sword Palace possesses. Besides being a protective item, it can temporarily increase one's Sword Dao cultivation level!"

"Chu Kuangren, prepare to face the terror of Sword Twenty-three!" Jue Jian roared.

After merging with the Spiritual Blood Sword Treasure, the power of the Sword Great Dao inside his body multiplied, and his destructive intent spread everywhere.

Sword Twenty-three was the Holy Spirit Sword Art's last and most powerful form!

Originally, Jue Jian could not unleash something of that level.

Not only was it limited by his cultivation level, but it was also because of his level of comprehension and many other factors.

However, with the help of the Spiritual Blood Sword Treasure and the fact that he was reversing his Great Dao by force, Jue Jian barely fulfilled the requirements to unleash Sword Twenty-Three.

Although he could not master it, he could unleash it.

"Sword Twenty-three, huh"

Sensing Jue Jian's terrifying surging aura, Chu Kuangren's gaze narrowed. His sword intent was increasing rapidly as well.

The Great Dao inside his body poured out like a raging wave.

Two different sword intent clashed in the air.

In that instant, it swept up an endless storm of sword intent within thousands of kilometers around them. It made many sword cultivators' scalps go numb.

They all knew that the upcoming sword attack would be a terrifying one.

"Move back!"

"Quickly, we must move back!"

None of them dared to linger any longer, and they frantically retreated to a safer spot.

Meanwhile, Jue Jian unleashed his technique, and his broken sword was pointed at Chu Kuangren. A destructive intent instantly erupted.

At that moment, everything in the surrounding terrain was frozen.

Not only could everyone feel the destructive intent in their surroundings, but they could also feel it in their hearts. They were so terrified that they lost control of their bodies and froze in place.

That sword technique was not just destroying the surroundings.

It was even destroying the cultivator's Daoist cores!

Chu Kuangren, too, was enveloped by that destructive intent. He looked at the incoming sword technique and narrowed his gaze, which had a hint of admiration.

It was not admiration he had toward Jue Jian but toward the Sword Twenty-three technique instead.

The other cultivators were already immobilized by the destructive intent of that attack, let alone Chu Kuangren, the person who was the target of the Sword Twenty-three attack.

That sword intent, which could seemingly destroy everything, was impacting his Daoist core. If not for his steady Daoist core, he would have been immobilized by fear.

"Void Sky Slas.h.!.+"

m A light grunt sounded.

Amidst the sky filled with destructive intent, a dazzling sword ray shot out from Chu Kuangren's Descendant Sword. The void sword qi immediately shot forward.

However, that sword attack could not stop the Sword Twenty-three attack, so Chu Kuangren unleashed another sword attack.

This time, it was the Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.

With the two great sword attacks stacked together, it formed a technique that contained a hidden technique within it and released a power far greater than a single sword technique.

When the stacked sword qi attacks collided with the Sword Twenty-three attack, the void crumbled silently.

A spatial black hole formed in between the surroundings of the two.

The overwhelming destructive intent was immediately destroyed!

The Sword Twenty-three technique initially shattered the Void Sky Slash attack, but it was destroyed by the Heaven Slaying Sword Drawing Technique hidden within it. The dense and ma.s.sive sword ray headed toward Jue Jian with unstoppable might.

As Jue Jian watched the sword ray heading toward him, the violence in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by a genuine look of admiration.

"To be able to combine two great Hongmeng-level sword techniques so flawlessly Chu Kuangren, I, Jue Jian, shall acknowledge you as the strongest Sword Dao Prodigy in this world!"

Immediately after, he was engulfed by the incoming sword qi.

In an instant, his body was destroyed by the sword qi, and his Great Dao crumbled.

Jue Jian, the second on the Grand Dao Leaderboard, was dead!

Everyone was stunned for a long time.

It was as if the immobilizing effects of Sword Twenty-three were still affecting them.

Long Sha and Lin Sha, the Apocalypse Martial Society's two Killer Stars, looked at Chu Kuangren with disbelief in their eyes. They were overcome with fear.

"He killed Jue Jian!"

"He has killed Jue Jian, the second on the Grand Dao Leaderboard!"

"Besides the Radiant Right Sky King, who is the first on the Grand Dao Leaderboard, I can't believe someone else below a Supreme Honorable level could kill Jue Jian!"

Long Sha was shuddering with fear.

He knew Chu Kuangren had just broken through to the Grand Dao Realm.

However, that very fact was proof of how terrifying Chu Kuangren was.

Considering he could kill Jue Jian just after he broke through to the Grand Dao Realm, who else other than the Monarchs could be his opponent if he was given time to grow and rise up a realm or two?

The thought of it sent chills down Long Sha's spine.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren, who had just killed Jue Jian, saw a sword-shaped jade scroll levitating in the air. He reached out and grabbed it.

His eyes lit up when he took a look inside. "I didn't expect such a wonderful surprise to be waiting for me."

The contents of the sword-shaped scroll happened to be the Holy Spirit Sword Art!

It was the Sword Universe's most advanced sword technique!
