Chapter 1738: Chapter 1741: Head-on Battle Against a Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm

"Hand over the Sword Cauldron, and I won’t kill you today."

Upon hearing this, many martial artists from the seven major sects were taken aback.

Silence fell abruptly.

In the next moment, bursts of laughter erupted suddenly.

"This kid must have gone insane."

"He’s too arrogant."

Countless gazes turned towards Chu Feng, as if they were staring at a lunatic.

The Huang Liujin facing Chu Feng was a true expert on the verge of reaching the Heavenly Human Realm.

No matter how strong Chu Feng was, even with many fortuitous encounters, he was merely a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor.

Throughout history, no Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor has ever slain a martial artist on the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm.

"Kid, it seems you’re courting death yourself!"

When Huang Liujin heard Chu Feng’s words, his face instantly turned somber. His eyes were fixed on Chu Feng, filled with murderous intent.

In today’s world, there were no longer any martial artists in the Heavenly Human Realm; being on the verge of it was already the peak.

Since Huang Liujin stepped into this realm, it was the first time he had been belittled by someone like Chu Feng.

But amidst his anger, Huang Liujin was also deeply shocked by what Chu Feng said.

He was once thrown into the depths of the endless trench because he secretly infiltrated the Sword Dao Sect and stole one of its treasures, the Sword Cauldron.

Although Huang Liujin was later captured, the Sword Cauldron had been hidden discreetly. When he emerged from the trench, he used it to ascend to the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm.

The secret of obtaining the Sword Cauldron was known to almost no one in the world, not even in the Ancient Desolate Sect.

The disciples of the Sword Dao Sect who once knew of it all perished in a battle tens of thousands of years ago, making the Sword Cauldron his greatest ace and ultimate secret.

Now Chu Feng had suddenly exposed it, leaving him panicked and filled with even more murderous intent.

The Sword Cauldron, one of the treasures of the Sword Dao Sect, was invaluable even to experts near the Heavenly Human Realm. He wouldn’t allow Chu Feng to reveal this secret.

"Die!"

Boom!

With this thought, Huang Liujin holds no more hesitation and suddenly attacks. In his palm, ancient power coagulates again, transforming into an ancient long spear and fiercely slashing towards Chu Feng.

His strike bears absolute lethal intent.

Now that Chu Feng has exposed the Sword Cauldron’s secret, Huang Liujin decides not just to suppress him but to kill him outright.

Only by killing Chu Feng could he completely silence this news and prevent future disaster.

"Destroy the heavens and the earth!"

Rumble!

The power on the ancient great halberd is urged to the extreme, even more formidable than the Five Elements Divine Saber, descending from the sky and smashing towards Chu Feng.

Behind Huang Liujin, a scene appears—an immensely ancient era, the former ancient times, where beasts competed for supremacy and towering trees reached tens of thousands of feet high.

Mountains piled upon mountains in the oldest times.

From this image, endless ancient forces erupt and imbue the ancient great halberd, aiming to obliterate Chu Feng with thunderous momentum.

"Unwilling to hand over the Sword Cauldron? Then you’ll die!"

Chu Feng’s gaze is chillingly cold; the Sword Cauldron is a treasure of the Sword Dao Sect and must not fall into anyone else’s hands.

Since Huang Liujin is unwilling to surrender it, Chu Feng intends to kill him and reclaim the Sword Cauldron.

"Sword release!"

Swish, swish!

From behind Chu Feng, the Heaven’s Edge Sword Box suddenly opens, releasing streams of Sword Qi, which swiftly fly out and gather around Chu Feng, coalescing into a ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi, soaring upwards.

It clashes fiercely with the power of the ancient great halberd.

This confrontation releases power even stronger than their previous clash, causing the earth to tremble.

Their previous engagement had elements of testing involved.

But this time, they are executing absolute killing moves, holding nothing back, aiming to annihilate each other.

Whether on the part of the Sword Dao Sect or the martial artists of the seven major sects, all they can do now is unleash spiritual power to desperately protect their bodies, lest they be affected by the fallout.

Such fallout, even a mere brush for a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor would lead to merciless destruction.

The powerful force is enough to shatter blood and bone, leaving no chance for regeneration.

The confrontation between experts on the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm is something those at the Emperor’s Honored Realm can’t participate in.

In an instant.

Ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi and the ancient great halberd have clashed countless times, each collision unleashing extraordinarily powerful forces.

At this moment, it’s difficult to determine a winner.

"Such formidable power."

"This kid can actually go toe-to-toe with Huang Liujin?"

"He’s only recently attained the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor rank, yet this power is surely at the level of those on the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm."

"Too terrifying. He’s merely at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm, yet possesses such fearsome power. If he steps into the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm, wouldn’t he be invincible? No, this person must be eradicated!"

Numerous strong figures from the seven major sects watch the confrontation in the sky, each harboring different thoughts.

Some are shocked, some surprised, and others harbor murderous intent, each with their own agenda.

But none have taken action and instead quietly observe.

Whoever acts hastily now could end up as cannon fodder, dying in the aftershocks of the two.

Even if they do make a move, they’ll wait until Chu Feng and Huang Liujin are at the point of mutual destruction to strike suddenly and take advantage.

Historically, there are indeed no records of a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor directly slaying someone on the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm.

But there are many stories of those on the verge dying at the hands of Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors.

Once peril emerges, exploiting the situation can greatly increase the chance of slaughtering an expert on the verge of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Chu Feng possesses great fortune, achieving terrifying strength at the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor realm, his fortuitous encounters speak for themselves. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Anyone who kills Chu Feng and gains his fortuitous encounters would instantly ascend to greatness.

As soon as Chu Feng shows any weakness or falls into defeat, they will strike with thunderous speed to kill Chu Feng and divide the rewards.

But for now, they are quietly observing and waiting for an opportunity.
