Chapter 62 This Is Way Too OP, Right?

Chapter 62: Isn't This Just Too Strong?

Whoosh!

A streak of crimson rainbow descended in an instant.

Tai Xu of the Xuanqing Temple, who had originally maintained neutrality and had no intention of joining the battle, never expected that Chen Ping'an's very first attack would target him!

This sword strike was simply too fast!

So fast that he couldn't even muster the will to defend himself in his heart.

He knew very well that even if he tried to block it, it was already too late.

"Guixin, you bald donkey, you've doomed me!"

He shouted angrily, activated his teleportation token, and vanished on the spot.

"Good, that's one less."

Chen Ping'an withdrew his sword and looked at Guixin with a relaxed expression.

Guixin's face turned ashen. He had never expected Chen Ping'an to be so crafty, actually launching a surprise attack on the neutral Tai Xu.

"Good heavens, you actually attacked someone who is neutral? Have you no shame at all!"

Gao Feng said, a mixture of shock and anger, "Guixin, let's join forces."

"Agreed."

Guixin was overjoyed and shouted aloud, "This Azure Cloud Sect disciple is full of cunning and his strength cannot be underestimated. Fellow Taoists, you must be extremely careful!"

"Understood."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

To be able to force Tai Xu away with a single surprise sword strike—they knew they couldn't achieve such a feat themselves.

"I underestimated you before." Gao Feng drew his sword, staring at Chen Ping'an with a cold gaze, and slowly said, "So someone who can obtain two strands of sword intent actually possesses such formidable attainments in the path of the sword."

"Su Wan, you will duel my Senior Sister one-on-one, understand?" Ignoring Gao Feng, Guixin, and the others, Chen Ping'an let his gaze fall upon Su Wan and said in a calm tone.

Su Wan gave a start.

She vaguely sensed a hint of threat in his words.

Thinking of this person's terrifying nature and harboring a massive shadow in her heart, she nodded almost instinctively and said, "Fine."

The Crimson Flame Beast beneath her also showed tacit understanding, leaping a dozen zhang away.

"Ruan Ting, let us fight!"

She issued a challenge.

Ruan Ting glanced at Chen Ping'an, and the latter said, "Senior Sister, go ahead and let her witness the might of the Azure Cloud Swordsmanship."

Ruan Ting nodded, leaped lightly through the air, and landed opposite Su Wan.

The two women faced each other like mortal enemies, clashing without a single superfluous word. Instantly, lightning flashed, fierce flames raged, and the whistling sound of tiny golden arrows echoed endlessly.

On the plaza of the Azure Cloud Sect.

A beam of light materialized and transformed into Tai Xu.

"Eh? Why was Tai Xu eliminated first? That shouldn't be possible!"

The Sect Master of the Xuanqing Temple was shocked.

The other sect masters were also quite astonished.

The Xuanqing Temple Master asked in a deep voice, "Guixin, who eliminated you?"

"A disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect."

At the mere recollection of the ambush, Tai Xu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

"Ruan Ting? Surely not? She is only at the tenth layer of the Golden Body Realm; she could never be your match!"

The Xuanqing Temple Master muttered to himself.

"I have never seen this person before, nor do I know his name. He ambushed me, causing me to be eliminated first."

Tai Xu wore a grievance-laden expression.

He dared not mention the opponent's realm, lest he lose face under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Why do all these Azure Cloud Sect disciples nowadays love ambushing people? Old Du, your discipline is lacking..."

The Xuanqing Temple Master glared at Du Ruolong with a stern face.

Du Ruolong blinked.

That was the Ancestor taking action personally; what dared he say?

"Old Du, aren't you going to say anything?"

Seeing Du Ruolong remain silent, the Xuanqing Temple Master grew anxious. He needed Du Ruolong to make a statement.

"What is there to say? Tai Xu simply lacked the necessary skill."

Du Ruolong spread his hands and said very calmly, "My Azure Cloud Sect disciples are doing exceptionally well."

"Well, my foot, you old thief Du! You have no martial virtue whatsoever!"

The Xuanqing Temple Master cursed in anger.

Jiang Yueluo chimed in with sarcasm, "Sect Master Du, with the Azure Cloud Sect in your hands, I see no future for it whatsoever."

"Ha, indeed. The Azure Cloud Sect is truly finished."

Yan Chitian laughed heartily.

For a moment, all sorts of voices predicting the downfall of the Azure Cloud Sect echoed endlessly.

Du Ruolong lowered his eyelids, maintaining a composed and unruffled demeanor, completely ignoring the harsh taunts.

The Azure Cloud Sect is finished?

Wrong, dead wrong!

With the Ancestor present today, the hidden strength of the Azure Cloud Sect could be said to rival even that of ten thousand years ago!

Within the Azure Cloud Secret Realm.

Guixin was enveloped in golden Buddhist radiance, forming a defensive barrier, and the Nirvana Buddha Eye on his forehead opened wide.

"Everyone, let us uphold justice on behalf of heaven and eliminate this despicable wretch of the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Guixin shouted loudly.

"Kill!"

Gao Feng charged forward first, swinging his sword with one hand as dense sheets of sword light rained down.

Chu Potian stood on the periphery and began his Mantra Arts.

He stared at Gao Feng and said in a deep voice, "This swordsman is fast and ruthless; no one can defeat him."

In an instant.

A mysterious force acted upon Gao Feng, instantly boosting his speed and making his swordsmanship even sharper.

"Interesting."

Seeing Chu Potian's amusing Mantra Arts produce such an effect, Chen Ping'an also smiled.

His Lion's Roar Mantra Arts were extremely simple, consisting of only a few short mantras, usually just a single word.

The Lion's Roar Mantra Arts intimidated the enemy through sound. When cultivated to the highest level, a single roar could shatter an enemy's will to fight, and for those with weaker cultivation, it could even blast them into a mist of blood.

This was an overbearing cultivation technique.

However, Chen Ping'an had no need for it at this moment; a single set of Azure Cloud Swordsmanship was enough to defeat these proud disciples of the major sects.

Whoosh!

A crimson cloud rolled like a thousand drifts of snow.

The sky-full of sword light was swept away in an instant, and Gao Feng, suspended mid-air, suddenly shuddered as Chen Ping'an flicked him flying with a single sword strike.

Puff!

He vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, his aura plummeting instantly.

Luo Qingsong manipulated a fire dragon, spewing raging flames as it swept toward a patch of crimson clouds.

Meanwhile, Guixin unleashed his Nirvana Buddha Eye, plunging the surroundings into darkness as waves of black light surged fiercely toward him!

Zixia executed the Wind and Moon Sect's swordsmanship, graceful and soft, sweeping into the battlefield like a series of gentle breezes.

Chu Potian formed hand seals with both hands, his lips moving rapidly as he chanted incantations under his breath.

"This fire dragon is peerless in its might, capable of burning everything under heaven..."

"Where is my little lightning? Come forth, my treasure, lock onto him and let this fellow witness your power..."

"Fairy Zixia is the most beautiful; even the wind loves her. May her speed be doubled..."

Crack!

Bolts of thick lightning descended out of thin air, locking onto Chen Ping'an and striking him violently.

And that fire dragon, as if it had consumed some divine pill, instantly doubled in size.

Zixia could feel the Wind Dao Seed within her body strengthening at this very moment, and the power of the swordsmanship she executed doubled as well!

After chanting these mantras in succession, Chu Potian was also panting heavily, having expended a tremendous amount of energy.

Boom, boom...

The battlefield suddenly erupted with the sound of giant waves, as patches of crimson clouds formed a world-destroying blood wave that swept away the fire dragon, lightning, sword light, and black light all at once.

At this moment.

Chen Ping'an also displayed his true strength, unleashing the most powerful attack in the history of the Azure Cloud Swordsmanship!

Azure Cloud World-Destruction!

This sword move was like a world-destroying torrent, instantly shattering all attacks.

Bang! Bang!

Guixin, Luo Qingsong, Zixia, Chu Potian, and Gao Feng—who had joined the battle later—were all sent flying by the blood cloud.

Except for Zixia, all the others vomited blood and sustained heavy injuries.

"Get lost this instant!"

A cold shout rang out beside their ears like a thunderclap.

Before even landing on the ground, the five of them, sensing that their lives were in mortal danger, hurriedly activated their teleportation tokens and vanished from the Azure Cloud Secret Realm in the blink of an eye.

"Isn't this just too strong?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Su Wan witnessed this astonishing scene and instantly lost all will to fight. Without deciding the outcome with Ruan Ting, she activated her teleportation token and left.
