Chapter 194 - 194

Chu Tian directly took out a ninth-level spiritual energy crystal from the system space and began absorbing the spiritual energy from it. This ninth-level spiritual energy crystal was indeed the top-tier one, and the speed of absorption and conversion was almost on par with the speed at which the large array absorbed it. As he started absorbing the spiritual energy from the ninth-level crystal, the speed of condensation of the thundering giant swords on the dome of the array also increased significantly. Xu Qiaosheng, after another strike of the Flame Blade on the array wall, was surprised to find that the array's wall had become denser at some point. Just as he was puzzled, the thundering giant swords in the sky began to condense, while Chu Tian took out the Snow Scale Sword. With his right hand holding the sword and his left hand grabbing the ninth-level spiritual energy crystal, he threw the Snow Scale Sword. Under the influence of Chu Tian's six sword techniques, a continuously rotating Tai Chi diagram was formed, and the Tai Chi diagram began to rotate faster and faster, with numerous white light balls flying out of it. With a thought, the thundering giant sword descended towards Xu Qiaosheng. Seeing this, Xu Qiaosheng hurriedly put away his attacks on the array wall and raised the flaming long knife in his hand to resist the thundering giant sword descending from the sky. One thundering giant sword after another struck down, and Xu Qiaosheng, an S+ level expert, was able to directly clash with the thundering giant sword with his Flame Blade technique, dispersing one of the thundering giant swords. The dispersed thundering giant sword turned into countless electric lights and re-entered the thundercloud. Then, the remaining one hundred and seven thundering giant swords struck down simultaneously, causing Xu Qiaosheng's eyes to twitch. He raised the flaming long knife in his hand, and suddenly, the flames spread out to form a huge flame shield. Seeing this, Chu Tian immediately activated the six sword techniques and attacked Xu Qiaosheng, who had taken a defensive stance. Heavenly thunderbolts fell one after another, and the flame-formed shield was directly shaken, but the white light balls condensed by the six sword techniques attempted to enter the flame shield that Xu Qiaosheng had raised, only to be consumed by the shield's defense the moment they touched it. So, Chu Tian controlled the white light balls formed by the six sword techniques to hover around Xu Qiaosheng's flame shield, waiting for the thundering giant sword to break the shield. The one hundred and seven thundering giant swords continued to bombard, causing Xu Qiaosheng's flame shield to break open a palm-sized gap. Chu Tian seized the opportunity and controlled the white light balls to quickly enter the gap. Instantly, a miserable scream came from Xu Qiaosheng within the flame shield. "Ah! What is this? Chu Tian, what have you done to me?" A voice filled with fear and pain echoed from the flame shield, and Xu Qiaosheng's self-raised flame shield immediately shattered, scattering sparks into the air. Chu Tian also saw that Xu Qiaosheng's body was burning with azure flames, and his eyes were devoured by the azure flames. "Chu Tian, you won't have a good death..." Xu Qiaosheng, in pain, covered his eyes and rolled on the ground, his spiritual energy running wild within him, and the flames of the Flame Blade constantly emanating from his body, attempting to resist the azure flames engulfing him. However, these azure flames were not ordinary flames that could be easily extinguished, after all, they were flames from hell. Watching the suffering Xu Qiaosheng, Chu Tian coldly said, "You said earlier that you would go to hell and join your guards, but now it seems that you won't even have a soul left in a while, as the flames on you are the same as the Scarlet Lotus Hellfire." "Ah~ Chu Tian, I curse you to die a miserable death..." Xu Qiaosheng seemed to shout this with his last bit of strength, then lay motionless on the ground. After a moment, the azure flames on Xu Qiaosheng's body gradually dissipated, and his eyes were burned into two pieces of black charcoal-like objects. He was completely lifeless, apparently dead beyond death. Chu Tian put away the six sword techniques and the Executioner's Sword Array, and retrieved the ninth-level spiritual energy crystal that had absorbed less than one-fifth of its energy back into the system space. He then began to harvest the belongings of Xu Qiaosheng and his guards. There were quite a few first to fifth-level spiritual energy crystals, which earned him a substantial amount of resources. He also found the Flame Blade martial skill in Xu Qiaosheng's spatial ring. This martial skill was an offensive and defensive integrated technique, and the Flame Shield he had just used was a good defensive skill. It helped Chu Tian compensate for his lack of defense, which had previously relied solely on his physical body. After sorting through the items, Chu Tian took out the dimmed ninth-level spiritual energy crystal and began replenishing the spiritual energy he had consumed. About three hours later, under the powerful conversion speed of the ninth-level spiritual energy crystal, the originally depleted spiritual energy in his body had been restored to its maximum value. He looked at the ninth-level spiritual energy crystal in his hand, which still had about forty percent of its energy remaining, and couldn't help but feel delighted. With such a large spiritual energy capacity and efficient conversion rate, he no longer had to worry about the consumption of the Executioner's Sword Array. --- After walking out of the Gate of Hell, Chu Tian took out his communicator from the system space and sent a message to Klaysha. "Xu Qiaosheng has been killed, the next target will be the Clinton family." After sending the message, Chu Tian once again put the communicator back into the system space. On the other hand, in the Third Human Base, Klaysha was lying leisurely on the sofa on her floor, watching TV dramas. Although the era was chaotic, the entertainment industry still existed because people needed some mental support. However, in this era, celebrities had to be talented martial artists, as those who were weak and knew nothing were no longer popular. Who wouldn't like a celebrity who was good-looking, could fight, sing, and dance? When her communicator rang, Klaysha took it out and glanced at it, then smiled softly and said, "Chu Tian is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that the downfall of the Clinton family is not too far away. This corrupt federation and family need a fresh change of blood." --- When Chu Tian returned to the Kunlun Human Base again, it was already close to midnight. He transformed back into the appearance of Lun Ren, making himself look battered and even created various small wounds on his body through his talent to make the effect more convincing. For effect, he even stained his clothes with some of Xu Qiaosheng's blood to make it look more realistic
