Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 472 - 462: The Sword Seizer

"What!" Lin Zhining and Duan Wuque all exclaimed.

When they had entered the ancient relics, they all stood on the same starting line, nearly all as Ten Springs Warriors, but a year had passed, and they had only progressed to fourth-tier and fifth-tier War Generals, yet Chu Hao had advanced to War King?

—They had indeed made significant progress, as there were many opportunities here, and the military merits accumulated from war had quickened their growth, but compared to Chu Hao?

"What, you’re feeling unconvinced?" the Barbaric Girl jumped out, pointing at the crowd, "You guys are really annoying. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Chu Hao, and you still crowd around and won’t let him go!"

Everyone laughed, even the High Priest smiled gently, dismissed the thought of speaking to Chu Hao, and signaled others to step back, giving Chu Hao and a few women some private space and time.

Only the Barbaric Girl dared to say such words, for her, whose heart was like a blank sheet of paper, didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with saying it, otherwise even Demoness Gu wouldn’t dare say such things in public.

Chu Hao first returned to the tent with Su Wanyue and a few women, sharing the experiences of the past half-year.

Actually, his activities were quite simple: cultivate, cultivate, cultivate—nothing much to talk about. As for Su Wanyue and the others, they had encountered many great battles during this time, their lives quite spectacular.

Of course, this did not include Gu Qingcheng, who always lagged behind in every fight, under the pretense of cheering for the warriors at the front. If not for her close relationship with Chu Hao, she would have been severely punished by the tribe for desertion long ago.

Fu Xue quickly found an excuse to leave; she wasn’t part of Chu Hao’s "harem group" and naturally did not want to be such a candle.

"Chu Hao, come play with me!" the Barbaric Girl, holding Chu Hao’s hand, insisted on getting him to start the War Chariot, to take her soaring through the skies and traveling around.

"Go ahead!" Su Wanyue nodded at Chu Hao, "This girl has been dropping your name all the time for half a year; I guess she would have stormed the insect nest if you hadn’t come back."

"Hehe." The girl tilted her head and laughed.

Gu Qingcheng was extremely displeased. What did Su Wanyue mean, the master of Chu Family’s harem? Bah, did she ask me? Yet, she did not oppose it; instead, she stood up and grabbed Chu Hao’s other hand, saying, "Let’s go together!"

She gave Su Wanyue a confrontational look, implying that this man was hers.

Su Wanyue looked indifferent, as if she didn’t regard her seriously at all.

"That annoying pretentious woman, always acting cold, I can tell at first glance, externally cold but internally hot, falsely proper!" Gu Qingcheng thought to herself.

Chu Hao gave Su Wanyue a helpless look, took Gu Qingcheng and the Barbaric Girl, and boarded the War Chariot to fly off into the skies.

"Oh, by the way, because you didn’t come back for so long, they temporarily gave the Purple Crystal Sword to someone else to use," Gu Qingcheng suddenly said.

"Who?" Chu Hao wasn’t particularly concerned, for the tribe, of course, it was best if every person and every weapon could exert the strongest power, and the Purple Crystal Sword was a third-rank Divine Weapon, capable of piercing even the defenses of the War Venerate. It naturally made sense that it wouldn’t be left idle in a major battle.

Now that he had returned, it would just be a matter of taking it back.

"Surname Lu, called Lu Youxing, a very arrogant and annoying guy, he actually thought about pursuing me too!" Gu Qingcheng said quite displeased.

"Eh, why do I feel that that guy seems more interested in Sister Su?" the Barbaric Girl, biting her finger, said, seeming quite puzzled.

"Ah, spit it out, there must be something wrong with your eyes. I am stunningly beautiful, how could I lose to that cold woman? It’s only because I’ve always covered up with a veil, that he couldn’t recognize!" Gu Qingcheng suddenly burst out angrily, the last thing she wanted to hear was that she was inferior to Su Wanyue.

Even under such provocation, her cultivation efforts increased notably; over the past six months, she had improved by a small Realm, which was simply incredible for her.

The Barbaric Girl laughed heartily; she knew how hard Gu Qingcheng’s mouth was.

"Lu Youxing?" Chu Hao muttered, since the other party could temporarily use the Purple Crystal Sword, his strength must be extraordinary. He asked Gu Qingcheng, "Do you know his background?"

"Seems to be from an ancient clan from the Earth State," Gu Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "According to the cold woman, that guy should be a sixth-tier War King, very strong." She was somewhat worried since Lu Youxing might not hand over the Purple Crystal Sword.

That was a third-rank Divine Weapon after all, even the War Venerate would be envious, who would hand it over after obtaining it?

Chu Hao nodded, in the Middle Three Realms stage, the descendants of the ancient clans were the strongest, elements transformed, who else but them could compete? After all, strong constitutions were too rare.

"A sixth-tier War King, huh?" A hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes; during his time as a War General, he had defeated and killed War Kings, not to mention that he was now a fourth-tier War King himself.

If Lu Youxing handed over the Purple Crystal Sword politely, all would be well, but if he wanted to keep it for himself... Chu Hao snorted, a killing intent flickering; that was a third-rank Divine Sword!

They flew several circles in the sky, but it was impossible to approach Iron Sword Valley; as they approached, the protruding "iron spines" would shoot out, transforming into sharp swords and slashing towards them. Chu Hao had to fully activate the War Chariot’s defenses to ensure safety.

Clearly, flying across was not an option.

He, along with the two women, returned to the ground and had just come to their tent area when Su Wanyue walked out, followed by a young man with a proud smile, exuding a powerful aura.

Chu Hao furrowed his brows; this man was the War King who had shot an arrow at him earlier.

"That guy is Lu Youxing," Gu Qingcheng leaned over and whispered in Chu Hao’s ear. She could have used Divine Sense to transmit the message, not clear if this act was to show defiance to Su Wanyue or to irritate Lu Youxing.

"It’s Brother Chu. I didn’t know Brother Chu’s identity before and shot an arrow at you, I hope Brother Chu won’t blame me," Lu Youxing spoke first, appearing very upright and honest.

Chu Hao didn’t take that arrow to heart, because if the comer was an enemy, this arrow was justified, and if a friend, since outsiders could not initiate battles among them, this arrow naturally posed no threat.

—The natives couldn’t fly.

Chu Hao chuckled, "Brother Lu, I heard my Purple Crystal Sword is with you, when will you return it to me?"

"Oh!" Lu Youxing made a look of realization but shook his head and said, "Brother Chu, this war is also very important for us. Don’t you think such a treasured sword should be in the hands of someone most suited to wield it to maximize its effectiveness?"

Chu Hao’s expression instantly turned cold, "So you don’t want to return it?"

"I’m only letting the treasured sword be fully utilized for the greater good," Lu Youxing said indifferently.

Chu Hao laughed loudly, "You claim my Treasured Sword as your own, and yet claim it’s for the greater good? I have seen many shameless people; you could probably rank in the top three."

A flash of anger crossed Lu Youxing’s eyes, "Chu Hao, are you provoking me?"

"I am merely asking a thief return what rightfully belongs to me," Chu Hao said grimly.

"I don’t like to hear such words!" Lu Youxing shook his head and turned to Su Wanyue, "Miss Su, I will take my leave now."

"Who said you could leave?" Chu Hao stepped forward to block him.

"Can you stop me?" Lu Youxing let out a scornful cold laugh, "If it weren’t for the prohibition against outsiders initiating fights here, I could suppress you with just one hand!"

"That’s why you dare to be so shameless!" Chu Hao pointed accusingly, "You think you can just take what belongs to me like that?"

"Wrong, that sword was never yours to begin with!" Lu Youxing shook his head, his face full of disdain.

Su Wanyue and Gu Qingcheng both frowned slightly. They both believed in Chu Hao’s combat power, but the issue was, if outsiders here couldn’t start a fight, then what use was Chu Hao’s strength?

"Hey, how can you be so shameless!" the Barbaric Girl couldn’t help but jump out and scold.

"Treasures naturally belong to those who are virtuous. He does not deserve it!" Lu Youxing snorted coldly.

"You are the one who doesn’t deserve it!" the girl retorted.

Chu Hao looked at Lu Youxing, "Do you think I can do nothing to you?"

"Oh, you want to strike me?" Lu Youxing laughed, not to mention that no one could fight here, even if they could, he believed he could suppress Chu Hao with just one hand.

The corners of Chu Hao’s mouth turned up slightly, and with a hum, the Chaos Intent Realm burst forth, charging towards his opponent.

"Ah—" Lu Youxing immediately clutched his head and let out a scream. His Divine Sense was assaulted, which was far more painful than a physical hit.

"How about that?" Chu Hao smiled. Intent does not belong to physical power; it’s an attack at the soul level, and obviously, the tribal restrictions don’t apply to attacks at the soul level.

Lu Youxing’s face showed shock and confusion. How had his opponent hurt him? But since Chu Hao could make a move, he naturally could as well.

Whoosh, he charged forward, throwing a punch at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao didn’t dodge or flee, letting the adversary pound at him.

Bang!

The fist, three feet away from Chu Hao, seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and couldn’t advance any further. Then, an unstoppable force emerged, sending Lu Youxing flying back.

Bang bang bang bang, he crashed through several tents in his path until he was stopped nearly a thousand meters away.

The greater the attack power, the greater the rebounding force, a warning to outsiders not to initiate battles.

"How can this be!" Lu Youxing’s face was full of confusion. Why could Chu Hao strike, yet he couldn’t?

Unfair, it was too unfair.

And his flying had also alarmed many others, who ran out to see what had happened.

"Eh, isn’t that Lu Youxing?"

"Descendant of the Gu Clan, a Heaven Talented of Earth State, very powerful."

"I’ve seen him fight; once he activates his Bloodline Power, his eyes emit a miraculous light that can turn living beings directly to stone. Even if his opponent is stronger, he can temporarily petrify them and then finish them off with a strike."

"Among the Trial Participants here, he is the strongest!"

"The Sword Maiden is also strong, but her strength lies in that Third Rank Treasured Artifact. With a swing of her sword, it’s like a mountain pressing down, terrifyingly powerful."

"If the two were to fight, Lu Youxing would probably have the upper hand."

"This guy seems to have gotten into a conflict with Chu Hao."

The crowd buzzed with discussion. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, we invite you to visit qidian.com to vote for it and recommend it. Your support is our greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
