High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 241 - 146: The Longsword Is Ready, Challenge the Heavens (Double - ) (Part 2)
Suddenly, with a shriek, he fell to the ground and couldn’t get up!
Chen Kuang exerted his strength, veins bulging all over his body, with one foot on the horse’s back, and the other stepping on the horse’s neck to steady himself.
"Crack!"
Poor horse’s neck was crushed entirely, dead instantly!
Chen Kuang barely steadied himself, took a deep breath, and swallowed back the metallic taste surging in his throat; his skin had already started to develop tiny cracks.
This was a sign of excessive pressure, indicating the skin was nearing its limit.
Everyone around also couldn’t hold on anymore, and in an instant, those who were originally unintentional to resist fell like leaves.
Only Cang Xing managed to stand there, still worried: "Oh dear, how reckless! I was just casually threatening him, why did you really kill!"
Even for the Martial Saint Pavilion, angering a Saint is something to consider...
If a Martial Saint decided, naturally there would be no issue, but now Martial Saint hasn’t spoken, yet Chen Kuang already killed.
Isn’t this causing trouble for the Pavilion?
Moreover, it’s not the Martial Saint himself present, just a controlled flesh body.
This Spirit-Subduing Technique works fine once, but using it twice on the same body greatly diminishes its effect.
Against a furious Saint, whether they can fight it out... is uncertain.
Cang Xing wondered about this.
By the way, where is Martial Saint?
The Saint has already made a move, why doesn’t Martial Saint show up?
Chen Kuang stood on the horse’s back, feeling his whole body tremble involuntarily, yet he laughed and said:
"Why panic? With Martial Saint here, nothing will happen."
"However, Yang Kingdom’s Female Saint behaves so audaciously, blatantly disrespecting the Martial Saint, being enemies with the Martial Saint Pavilion, remember this."
"Once we leave, the Martial Saint Pavilion will demand an explanation from Yang Kingdom!"
Cang Xing strongly agreed, nodding heavily, and said sternly:
"Absolutely! When has the Martial Saint Pavilion ever suffered such humiliation, being outraged like this!"
"I shall unite other members from the Martial Saint Pavilion, and won’t stop until we get an explanation!"
Chen Kuang solemnly said: "As brave warriors under Martial Saint, we should be like this! With such resolve, I rest assured!"
Suddenly, he shouted loudly:
"Huangfu Yan, is your Yang Kingdom’s Emperor this cowardly?! With ’national fate’ in hand, yet dares not confront the Saint, allowing her to help a rebel and slaughter Zangfeng State’s people as she pleases?"
Earlier when "Silent Night Thoughts" passively triggered, Chen Kuang perceived this from Wen Chi’s thoughts —
"Though Granny Wang Shu assists, if Wenxian is able to use ’national fate’ to restrict the Saint, my endeavor might succeed... yet he is a coward and definitely won’t dare."
This was the first time Chen Kuang learned, that the "national fate," had such use.
The power of ’national fate’ not only makes the Emperor nearly invincible, but can also be partially used at his will.
Even capable of contending with the power of the Saint!
The surrounding went silent for a while.
Suddenly, a voice came:
"Certainly not."
An unfamiliar cultivator suddenly emerged from the side, with twisted limbs, blood all over the head, and only one eye left.
Evidently, this was another puppet of Huangfu Yan that tragically died in the earlier battle, now temporarily controlled by him.
As for the corpse of the previous "Fine Rain" Elder, it had almost collapsed, now unusable.
With his remaining eye, Huangfu Yan looked at Chen Kuang and said:
"Yet now, the rebel is dead, the Saint’s rage is unquenchable, even if half a state must be sacrificed, it is not unreasonable."
"Do you think... the rebel ruling a state independently, with numerous responders, all being rebels, the Saint acting to protect the nation, is this reason adequate?"
Chen Kuang replied: "Are you using me like a tool? Use and discard after?"
Huangfu Yan responded: "Certainly not."
He calmly gazed at the collapsing sky and said: "At the very least... I shall ensure you reveal the Elixir of Longevity’s whereabouts first." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"Borrowing me to kill Wen Chi, then using the Saint to pressure me, nice trick, Huangfu Si Zheng, no wonder you easily agreed to cooperate with the Demon Race."
Chen Kuang laughed: "A Saint acts at will, yet the Emperor doesn’t dare make a sound, who really governs your Yang Kingdom?"
"With a first time, there will be a second... perhaps you don’t want to act, rather you can’t?"
Huangfu Yan was silent for a moment.
Chen Kuang said: "You might not know, the Elixir of Longevity was long consumed by me."
Huangfu Yan raised his head abruptly, staring at Chen Kuang.
Chen Kuang continued: "If I die, there will be no more Elixir of Longevity in this world; but alive, you might still study it."
Huangfu Yan took a deep breath, seemingly communicating with Wenxian, saying:
"Your Majesty can act, though incapable of stopping the Saint, yet can spare your life."
The finger descending from the sky had reached a five-hundred-zhang height, with labyrinthine fingerprint patterns clearly visible.
The entire Zangfeng State was engulfed in darkness.
Chen Kuang said: "Not enough."
Pointing to the sky, he grinned and said: "Don’t you want to teach this lawless woman a lesson?"
Huangfu Yan’s face twitched: "Do you realize what you’re saying?"
Calling a Saint a "lawless woman"... this guy is really tempting fate!
Chen Kuang exhaled and said: "I certainly do."
Finally losing patience, Huangfu Yan retorted: "You know damn nothing!"
"Yang Kingdom’s ’national fate’ has stagnated recently, while Saintess Wang Shu has been secluded at the Grand Ancestral Temple for two thousand years, always at full strength, not something easily suppressed!"
Chen Kuang laughed:
"What if... I can make her no longer at full strength?"
Huangfu Yan was stunned.
He even momentarily doubted his hearing, to catch such absurd and ridiculous words.
Chen Kuang repeated: "If I can make her injured, severely, not just lightly?"
Huangfu Yan had the urge to laugh; just this guy? Planning to injure a Saint?
Like an ant shaking a tree, overestimating himself!
Yet immediately, he realized, Chen Kuang was serious!
Huangfu Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
This Chen Kuang, wasn’t someone who spoke nonsense... does he really have a method?
...
"Did he really say that?"
Wenxian widened his eyes, looking at Huangfu Yan.
Huangfu Yan nodded.
Wenxian laughed loudly, his expression manic: "Well said, our Yang Kingdom has sustained the Saint for so long, and she aids a treacherous villain, ridiculous!"
"Regardless of truth, let him try, if true, I will help him."
"If false, I still obtain the Elixir of Longevity, nothing lost."
Wenxian’s expression sinister: "’National fate’? The whole world is almost surnamed Wang, what’s there to be grudging with this ’national fate’?"
Huangfu Yan respectfully said: "Your Majesty is wise."
...
Huangfu Yan remained silent for a while, the sky above was completely obscured, the ground below had sunk an inch, the state’s buildings were all shortened by a layer.
Men like ants, countless deaths and injuries.
Huangfu Yan took a deep breath, looked at Chen Kuang, and said solemnly: "In such case... the sword is ready, test this giant sky!"
"Great!"
In an instant, Chen Kuang’s eyes blazed intensely, nearly like fire.
He straightened up, beneath this lowered sky, yet appeared immensely large, as if breaking a certain shackle.
Huangfu Yan’s pupils contracted, realizing Chen Kuang had escaped from Zangfeng State’s seal!
Chen Kuang clenched his fist, Spiritual Qi flowed back into his meridians and apertures, sweeping through his body like a tide, vigorously washing his veins.
At this moment, he reached the Seventh Level of Tower Climb!
The Saint hadn’t sealed the state’s Spiritual Qi, but rather prevented these cultivators from sensing it!
Chen Kuang, facing extreme danger, maximized the "extreme counter-attack" passive, greatly enhancing all capabilities.
Almost returning to the time when he borrowed Shen Xingzhu’s cultivation using Other Mountain Divine Jade!
Under such extreme conditions, he forcefully broke through this seal’s limits.
Chen Kuang lifted his head.
The Saint’s Finger was already close!
"Boom!"
Chen Kuang actually took off, transformed into a stream of light, and directly charged at the dark sky!
