Unrivaled Martial Emperor

“Chu Tiange, you came too late,” Chen Fan said indifferently.

Chu Tiange finally noticed Xue Chongtian impaled on a massive iron pillar; his eyes narrowed immediately. “Hmm? Xue Chongtian, you’re really trash, defeated by someone at the second level.”

Shifting his gaze to Chen Fan, Chu Tiange spoke condescendingly, “Fine, go ahead and kill Xue Chongtian. Retrieve his blood demon core and hand it to me before leaving.”

Despite Chen Fan's victory over Xue Chongtian, Chu Tiange disregarded him.

“Hoho.” Chen Fan chuckled coldly.

Heaven’s Alliance members were arrogant even outside the sect.

Chen Fan moved his arm, and a formidable force erupted from the Heaven Piercing Spear.

The fourth-level Yuanfu realm expert, Xue Chongtian, became dust instantly, leaving only a blood demon core the size of a fist spinning in the air.

“That’s very sensible of you. Bring that to me. Don’t forget to use both hands,” Chu Tiange said, smiling faintly. novelbuddy.(c)om

Chen Fan beckoned with his palm. The blood demon core and the Heaven Piercing Spear flew into his hand.

He stomped on the air and flew out like a bullet. His protective primeval force rubbed against the air violently, making it light up like he was a comet.

Rumble!

The space and even what was left of the palace shook heavily. Its large iron pillars toppled, and the entire structure began to crumble down.

“Who do you think you are, Chu Tiange? Why don’t I offer you my spear instead?” Chen Fan's icy voice echoed, and with incredible speed, the Heaven Piercing Spear thrust forward with a poof.

“How dare you, you wretched scoundrel!”

A sharp light shone in his eyes at the audacity of Chen Fan's attack. The sword qi around him erupted violently, becoming swift and fierce.

“Slash!”

Chu Tiange slashed, and the sword qi tore through the air. It obliterated everything in its path, aiming to cleave Chen Fan in two.

“You bastard, merely defeating Xue Chongtian doesn't make you my equal! Xue Chongtian is no more than an ant in my eyes, just like you! An ant dreaming of overturning the heavens, trying to shake an elephant? How ludicrous!

“I was about to let you leave, but since you have chosen death... Here it is!”

Chu Tiange’s icy voice resounded, teeming with killing intent. He pointed his sword, and a faint image of Buddha appeared on his back. The Buddha was chanting something in Sanskrit.

The chant transformed into thunderous runes that fused themselves into Chu Tiange’s sword. A shocking power immediately erupted from it.

“Thunderous Note Sword Technique!”

Thunderous sounds rumbled as bright lightning pierced the dark skies. Chu Tiange's sword qi resonated like thunder, echoing its fierce power.

The sword qi spanned a hundred meters and twisted through heaven and earth like a white dragon flying through clouds. Suddenly, it flew toward Chen Fan, aiming for his head.

“What fierce sword qi!”

Chen Fan instantly sensed the imminent danger. It was far stronger than Xue Chongtian’s final stab.

The thick, thunderous sword qi tore through the air, blasting toward Chen Fan. Almost no person or object could block it. Everywhere it passed, the thunderous sword qi bombarded unceasingly. Chaotic explosions rumbled, and the air current stirred wildly.

“It’s no wonder Chu Tiange acts so arrogantly. He’s actually strong. Despite also being at the fourth level, Xue Chongtian can’t be compared to him. They’re on completely different levels!”

Light flickered in Chen Fan’s eyes.

Xue Chongtian had been powerful enough to force Chen Fan to use the Heaven Piercing Spear. However, compared to Chu Tiange's slash, Xue Chongtian's final move seemed like child's play.

“Break!”

Glowing runes flowed along the Heaven Piercing Spear in Chen Fan’s hands, emitting a terrifying aura capable of piercing the heavens. Concentrating all his strength, he fiercely stabbed the whistling thunderous sword qi three times consecutively.

Bang, bang, bang!

The three resounding noises were almost synchronized, exploding at the endpoint. Instantly, chaotic turbulence shrouded Chen Fan, obscuring any view of the events within.

Chu Tiange was very confident in his attack. He stood arrogantly in the air, the corners of his lips raised slightly into a faint, proud smile.

He believed there was no way Chen Fan could have withstood that slash. Even if he survived, he would be severely injured!

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp, ear-piercing noise rang out.

Chu Tiange saw a silhouette suddenly shoot out from that stormy turbulence. It was a black spear spinning at high speed, destroying everything in its path as it whistled toward him. He felt like the spear was sucking him in and fell into a momentary daze.

The Heaven Piercing Spear was no more than ten meters away from him by the time he came to.

“Slash, slash, slash!”

A dire crisis was approaching.

Chu Tiange’s expression changed drastically. He immediately retreated with all his strength and slashed down simultaneously.

Several thunderous notes of sword qi whistled out, slamming into the Heaven Piercing Spear to neutralize the terrifying attack.

Swish!

In a swift motion, Chen Fan soared out from the stormy turbulence, catching the Heaven Piercing Spear in his hand. His aura surged, and a cold gaze, akin to an invincible god of war, was fixed on the somber Chu Tiange.

“Chu Tiange, this is all you’re capable of!” Chen Fan said indifferently.

Chu Tiange was indeed much stronger than Xue Chongtian; still, he couldn’t defeat Chen Fan.

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy for Chen Fan to defeat Chu Tiange, as they were almost the same in strength.

Chen Fan now clearly understood his current strength.

Chu Tiange undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of the fourth level, almost into the fifth level. Chen Fan's strength also resided at this level.

“Damn it. It’s no wonder you defeated Xue Chongtian. I underestimated you. Well, that’s fine. If you turned out to be too weak, I would have felt disappointed. I wanted to take Xue Chongtian’s blood demon core and absorb the essence within to advance. But now, I’ll cut you down and use your fresh blood to bring my cultivation up to the fifth level!” [1]

Chu Tiange was a top-tier expert at the fourth level and a top-tier elite disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect. Although he was shocked by Chen Fan’s strength, he was still confident he could kill Chen Fan.

With a long whistle, he moved, leaving behind afterimages. After a few flickers, he appeared before Chen Fan, executing a slash reminiscent of a god splitting a mountain. The unstoppable momentum resembled the force of a god or maybe... a devil.

1. Pretty sure it’s said their cores can’t be absorbed or there will be bad consequences. Maybe he has some special method? ☜
