Chapter 167: Thundersoother Rod, An Attempt To Thwart Honorable Xuan Qi
“Honorable Teacher, elders, please follow me.”
Chu Kuangren said.
He then led Honorable Xuan Qi and the few other people to a mountaintop, where the surroundings were immaculately quiet. It was the place that was designated for Honorable Xuan Qi’s ascension.
At the place.
There were four black metal rods, which stood tall and lined up in a square. There were even mysterious runes carved on them.
The few of them stared at the four metal rods with confusion.
“What the hell is this? I don’t remember these being here the last time I came.”
“These metal rods are made of unique material, and they vaguely contain some sort of Daoist Rhyme. By my guess, this should be some kind of treasure.”
“Kuangren, don’t tell me that you’re the one who set these up?”
Honorable Xuan Qi asked curiously.
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly. “Yes, these four metal rods are called the Thundersoother Rods. They are able to redirect the surges of tribulation into the ground.”
Upon hearing that, all of them were shocked.
The ability to redirect the surges of tribulation was something that they had never heard of before. Did these metal rods really have such special abilities?
“Lead Disciple, not that I don’t believe you, but the Sect Leader’s ascension is not a matter to be taken lightly. Are these metal rods really as magical as you’ve described?”
One of the elders questioned.
Chu Kuangren smiled but remained silent. He then walked into the middle of the four metal rods before he turned back towards that elder and said, “Second Elder, I remember that you cultivate the Nine Heavens Lightning Sword Art. You can deliver an attack at me now.”
“This, this is not a good idea.” Second Elder hesitated.
“Just do it.”
“This…” Second Elder glanced at Honorable Xuan Qi.
“What are you looking at me for? If Kuangren allows you to strike at him, then just do as he wishes. With that little cultivation base of yours, I don’t think you’ll be able to hurt him.”
Honorable Xuan Qi replied amusingly.
He had already obtained knowledge of Chu Kuangren’s abilities from the Seventh Forefather. Not to mention the Second Elder, even he himself would not be able to do any damage to Chu Kuangren.
He felt rather insecure whenever he thought of that.
His student was so capable that the pressure on him as a teacher was just too immense.
“Alright then.”
Second Elder nodded as he formed a sword hand sign with one hand. A Lightning-based Daoist Rhyme was then unleashed from his fingers, turning into a lightning-based sword qi that struck out instantaneously.
The lightning-based sword qi swept towards Chu Kuangren, but Chu Kuangren remained standing within the metal rods, undeterred by the attack.
When the sword qi was close to him, the lightning energy made a quiver before it was unexpectedly twisted towards another direction by an invisible force. It crashed onto the metal rod and then vanished.
“Eh.” Second Elder gasped in surprise and let loose another sword strike which was even more powerful. However, just like before, the lightning energy was sucked into the ground by the metal rod, not harming Chu Kuangren even the slightest bit.
“Interesting.”
Second Elder leaped into the air, and a terrifying Lightning-based Daoist Rhyme was emitted instantly. Dark clouds amassed, and thunder started to rumble.
The majestic force of nature encased the entire place, sending shudders down the spines of everyone present.
“Lead Disciple, I’m about to unleash my full power.”
“Please do.” Chu Kuangren smiled faintly.
The crowd watched on intently.
“Nine Heavens Lightning, I summon you!”
Second Elder let out a loud cry, and the turbulent lightning energy from the dark clouds instantly condensed above the top of his head, forming a giant Lightning Sword!
The giant sword swung down, its sheer force of nature shaking the earth!
No one would have dared to be sloppy or complacent in face of this sword strike, even for Honorable Supremes.
Even so, Chu Kuangren still remained unmoved.
Boom!
The giant sword landed and shook every air particle in the void!
However, just when the giant sword edged close to the four metal rods, that violent lightning energy was instantly manipulated and directed into the ground once again.
