Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

“Two seconds!”

“I can pause time in a radius of ten meters, and even if it’s a Perfected Emperor, I can still freeze time for two seconds.”

“If I have a higher cultivation base, the time could be shortened accordingly. If I encounter a Heavenly Imperial, they might only be frozen for one-tenth of a second.”

One second, two seconds, one-tenth of a second…

These did not seem like much of a difference.

However, to an elite like Chu Kuangren, one-tenth of a second was enough to do a lot of things, let alone kill.

This Time Lock ability would become a great weapon for Chu Kuangren. He would be invincible against opponents under the Daoist Celestial Realm within ten meters!

“But it takes quite a lot of effort, and it’s not easy to use it continuously during group battles,” Chu Kuangren murmured.

Even so, the ability to pause time still had an unimaginably terrifying power. The timespace ability was absolutely incredible.

“What did you do?!”

The Blood Beast Emperor was still in shock.

He still had not realized that he had lost two seconds of time. He just knew he had experienced some kind of great horror just now.

“It’s just a little time gimmick.”

Chu Kuangren was in a good mood, so he gave a rare explanation.

Anyway, his opponent was already dead to him.

“Time gimmick… You know time techniques! H-how is this possible?!” The Blood Beast Emperor’s face was filled with disbelief.

It was public knowledge that mastering time techniques were extremely difficult, and no one in the entire Blood Tribe had heard of anyone who could do that.

Yet now, a mere human of Firmament Star has mastered time techniques!

“D*mn it. Go to hell!”

After experiencing the initial shock, the Blood Beast Emperor roared in fury. Then, he hurled the spear in his hand toward Chu Kuangren, piercing it directly into his opponent’s body.

Success!

The Blood Beast Emperor was overjoyed.

However, he then noticed something wrong.

He looked down, and unknowingly, a bloody spear was pierced through his heart. He could not be more familiar with the spear as it was the same weapon he had carried for many years!

Now, this weapon had stabbed him!

“What… what’s going on?!”

The Blood Beast Emperor looked puzzled.

He was very sure that he had pierced the spear into the chest of the human before him, yet why was it in his body?

“Feeling surprised?”

Chu Kuangren moved back a couple of steps.

There were no injuries on his body, and in the space where the Blood Beast Emperor’s spear pierced into was actually the void in front of him!

The Blood Beast Emperor slowly drew his spear from the void, and the spear in his chest gradually pulled out of his body as well.

“Spatial ability!”

The Blood Beast Emperor seemed to have understood something as he stared daggers into Chu Kuangren’s eyes. Not only did his opponent have time abilities but also spatial abilities!

What kind of freak was this guy?

“You’re pretty observant.” Chu Kuangren nodded a little.

“How on earth did you do it?”

“It’s very simple. I put a space transportation channel in front of my chest and then set a connection port behind you. When the spear pierces into the transportation channel in front of me, it comes out from the connection port behind you. This means that… you just killed yourself!”

Chu Kuangren flashed him a gentle smile. This trick was created through the courtesy of his Spatial Conveyor Skill combined with the Spatial Transfer ability of his Timespace Treasure.

It could be realized by the Spatial Conveyor Skill alone as well.

However, it would not be as easy as he just did.

“I killed myself?!”

The Blood Beast Emperor was baffled.

How was that even possible?!

“First, time, and then space… Who the h*ck are you?!”

The Blood Beast Emperor came back to his senses and looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief, questioning. It was the first time in his life he encountered such a strange cultivator.

“Heh, I’m just an ordinary human cultivator.”

Chu Kuangren smiled faintly.

‘Ordinary?’

‘You call this ordinary?!’

The Blood Beast Emperor almost vomited blood.

“Today’s my first time using this Timespace ability and also my first time seeing the Blood Tribe. I was a little excited, so I think I went a little overboard today.”

Chu Kuangren laughed.

Then, he pointed out a finger.

Sword qi that lingered at his fingertip penetrated the Blood Beast Emperor’s heart. As his Emperor qi surged, the opponent’s life functions were completely cut off!

He retained this Blood Beast Emperor’s body to the greatest extent.

That was because he still wanted to take it back and study the physique of the Blood Tribe. Perhaps then, he could come up with some methods to deal with the Blood Tribe.

Not far away, Shang Honghua had already wiped out the Blood Beasts in all the remaining warships. She glanced at Chu Kuangren. “You’re stronger than me. But why did you take so long to kill a cultivator on one ship?!”

“I was a little too playful and wasted a little time.”

Chu Kuangren smiled.

The Redshirt guards who had witnessed how Chu Kuangren slew the Blood Beast Emperor could not help but shudder in fear.

Was he not toying with his victim earlier?

The Blood Beast Emperor did not have any power to fight back against Chu Kuangren at all and was played like a fiddle.

Wait a minute…

What did the Commodore Junior just say?

All of a sudden, everyone came to their senses, thinking of what Shang Honghua said just now. ‘Did she say that Chu Kuangren is stronger than her?!’

‘My goodness. That aggressive and competitive Commodore Junior has willingly admitted that there are others better than her!’

‘That is so rare!’

For a while, the eyes of the Redshirt guards moved back and forth between Shang Honghua and Chu Kuangren. They looked somewhat intrigued.

“Truth be told, this little brother and our commodore junior are quite a match.”

“They really are.”

Shang Honghua listened to the whispers of the Redshirt guards next to her, and her face darkened. “What are you guys still standing there for? Go and clean up the battlefield!”

“Aye aye!”

The Redshirt guards shut their respective mouths and went to clear the battlefield.

After a while, the useful things on the several Blood Beast warships had been emptied. Even the corpses were not spared.

Chu Kuangren shuddered and looked at the few Redshirt guards not far away from him who were beating the corpses. He asked curiously, “What are they doing?”

“Collecting combat merits.”

Baili Xue smiled.

“Combat merit?”

“Yes. The fangs of the Blood Beasts, the blood spirit core of the Blood Spirit Tribe, the wing bones of the ordinary Blood Tribe member are all combat merits,” Baili Xue said.

Chu Kuangren pondered.

In a stronghold, the status of a soldier could be seen through combat merits, which naturally, derived from combat.

The more Blood Tribe members they killed, the more combat merits they would gain!

Those things that Bai Lixue mentioned were proof of combat merits.

It could prove that one had killed beings from the Blood Tribe.

“One Honorable equates to one combat merit, and one Sage, ten combat merits. Meanwhile, one Emperor equates to a thousand combat merits!”

“The higher the combat merits, the more respected your status in the stronghold. If you can get yourself on the battle leaderboard, you’ll be awarded a medal, and you get to enjoy various special treatments in the stronghold. Our Commodore Junior is ranked twenty-seventh on the Stronghold Seventeen battle leaderboard,” Baili Xue explained with a smile.

“How much combat merit does it take for one to be placed on the battle leaderboard?”

Chu Kuangren asked curiously.

“At least one hundred thousand combat merits, I reckon.”

“How many combat merits does the Commodore Junior have now?”

“Let me think. The last time she registered, the count was three million and a hundred eighty thousand combat merits.” Baili Xue thought for a while and then said.

Chu Kuangren was stunned.

Three million and a hundred eighty thousand combat merits… How many beings from the Blood Tribe did she kill to get there?

No wonder Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade said Shang Honghua’s cultivation methods were too radical. From this amount of combat merits alone, he could tell that she had spent the past few years in carnage, and it was a miracle that she still had her sanity.
