Unrivaled Martial Emperor

After enduring five days and nights traversing the snow-covered northwestern lands, Chen Fan finally reached the Spring Autumn Sect.

Although he failed to eliminate Chu Tiange on this mission to eliminate the blood-sucking bandits, he did manage to finish off Xue Chongtian. His reward from the expedition was much greater than any other party.

Chen Fan, however, kept the blood demon cores of Xue Chongtian and the other powerful bandits a secret.

Revealing them would expose his identity to Chu Tiange, potentially leading to repercussions from Duan Jingtian.

Chen Fan resolved to maintain a low profile and gradually enhance his strength to safeguard his existence. Aware that drawing attention might provoke Duan Jingtian's hostility, he exercised caution.

Although he could now fight everyone below the fifth level, his sect housed many experts above that level of strength. And many of those people followed Duan Jingtian’s command.

If these people were to make a move, there was no way Chen Fan could survive.

“Hehe, Chu Tiange must be dying in anger right now. He doesn’t even know who he fought tooth and nail with.” A cold look of amusement shone in Chen Fan’s eyes as he imagined Chu Tiange fuming in anger.

Someone as arrogant and proud as Chu Tiange could only fight someone at the second level to a draw. His stupidity even led to the deaths of three alliance members. He was bound to be furious.

Most importantly, he didn’t even know who he had fought.

It was like being smacked on the head with a stick by a stranger.

......

After returning to the sect, Chen Fan rested briefly before venturing into the inner sect's depths and entering an aged stone hall known as the Merit Hall. freeweb novel.co m

Adorned with imposing characters, it was a hub for exchanging contribution points for various treasures.

Chen Fan looked at the big words, especially the word “merit.” It looked majestic. It symbolized the Spring Autumn Sect's commitment to righteousness and orthodoxy.

He looked at it for a while before walking into the hall.

Due to the blood-sucking bandits terrorizing the northwestern lands, many inner sect disciples had gone to kill the bandits to earn contribution points.

With the bandits now eradicated, disciples returned to the sect in droves, infusing the Merit Hall with a lively atmosphere.

As soon as Chen Fan walked in, he noticed that Chu Tiange’s group was also there.

Chu Tiange handed over his blood demon cores to the elder of the Merit Hall. The cores cascaded with a clatter, forming a substantial pile emitting a majestic qi tinged with the scent of blood.

“Woah, how many blood-sucking bandits did he kill?”

“Don’t you know? Senior Brother Chu Tiange displayed unparalleled prowess in Loulan Ancient Imperial City, the blood-sucking bandits' main camp. He swept through the city alone with his sword, massacring the bandits and leaving a river of blood in his wake. Nearly ten thousand blood-sucking bandits fell to his sword.”

“That many?! Such a pity. I'm only a Qi Grandmaster and didn't dare venture to Loulan Ancient Imperial City.”

“......”

The disciples marveled at the mountain of blood demon cores, their gazes filled with astonishment and admiration.

Each blood demon core represented a dead bandit, and that mountain seemingly had thousands of cores.

The elder of the Merit Hall was a Yuanfu realm powerhouse. Chen Fan guessed that he might be at the eighth or ninth level. With a quick scan, the elder said, “A total of thirty-six hundred contribution points.”

The elder sent a jade token soaring toward Chu Tiange with a casual flick.

Approximately thirty-six hundred star-like symbols glittered inside the token, each denoting a contribution point. These points opened the door to a variety of resources within the sect.

Chu Tiange took the jade token and turned to leave.

When he passed by the entrance, he happened to run into Chen Fan. Killing intent immediately rose in his eyes, but he suppressed it and said coldly, “Get lost!” freewebnov(e)l.com

Unaware that Chen Fan was his masked adversary from the imperial city, Chu Tiange saw him as a mere first-level Yuanfu realm martial artist.

Chen Fan stepped to the side indifferently, clearing a path for Chu Tiange. He didn’t bother arguing with him.

“Hmph!”

Seeing Chen Fan acting sensibly, Chu Tiange also didn’t find fault with Chen Fan.

Currently, his primary concern was locating the enigmatic masked man.

Hehe, Chu Tiange, you have no idea that I was the one you fought in the imperial city.

Chen Fan smiled coldly in his heart.

The thought of seeing Chu Tiange's reaction when learning about his identity as the mysterious masked man filled Chen Fan with intrigue. However, Chu Tiange would die the day he learned that fact.

After Chu Tiange left, the crowd in the hall started talking among themselves again.

“Thirty-six hundred contribution points! My god, what an amount! But why does Senior Brother Chu Tiange not look happy? He looks somewhat furious instead.”

“You don’t know about that, huh? During their trip to kill the blood-sucking bandits, Senior Brother Chu Tiange planned to kill Xue Chongtian and take his blood demon core, but someone else got to him first. A masked man killed Xue Chongtian and then fought Senior Brother Chu Tiange to a standstill. Three elite disciples from Heaven’s Alliance also died. It's no wonder he's furious.”

“So that’s how it is! Then do you know who that mysterious masked man is? Which sect’s genius disciple is he?”

“Who knows? That mysterious masked man was quite enigmatic. His strength is astonishing despite being only at the second level of the Yuanfu realm. Three second-level experts fell under his single attack, helpless to defend themselves and killed on the spot.”

“I know, right? Chu Tiange could not do anything to him even after executing his strongest move. I’m afraid he’s still trying to unmask that mysterious man.”

“......”

The fear dissipated after Chu Tiange's departure, prompting the crowd to share the fragments of information they possessed freely.

Chen Fan didn’t waste any time. He came before that elder and brought out what he had harvested.

While not as abundant as Chu Tiange's, Chen Fan's harvest caught the attention of those nearby.

“This guy... seems like he had a decent haul in the northwest. There are even first-level blood demon cores. He's quite formidable; he should fetch over a thousand contribution points with that.”

The Merit Hall’s elder looked at Chen Fan, then quickly scanned the pile of blood demon cores and uttered, “Twelve hundred contribution points.”

Chen Fan received his jade token, thanked him, and left directly.

After exiting the Merit Hall, Chen Fan went straight to the Scripture Depository. He spent all twelve hundred contribution points in exchange for the three final moves of Undefeated King’s Fist, gaining the complete version of it.

The complete version of the Undefeated King’s Fist was a middle-profound tier martial skill. The entire skill would have cost him twenty-five hundred contribution points, but since Chen Fan already knew the first six moves, he only exchanged the last three moves.

These concluding moves—Unrivaled, Glorious King’s Fist, and Undefeated King—were now part of Chen Fan's repertoire. Combining them with the initial six moves granted him a comprehensive understanding of the Undefeated King’s Fist.

Chen Fan now had two profound tier martial skills in his arsenal: Undefeated King’s Fist and Nine Swords of Wind Demon.
