Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 888 - Sudden Turn of Events

“Scree!” A loud eagle’s cry rang out at this time.

Infinite silver light appeared on the Silver Eagle King, resplendent and dazzling, nearly blinding the people.

The radiance coalesced into a protective layer, making the beast appear like a living statue of silver.

Boom, boom, boom...

Those attacks quickly fell on the Silver Eagle King. However, all of them were blocked by the silver radiance.

“You ants are looking to die!” the Silver Eagle King roared furiously, its aura erupting with devastating force.

A violent hurricane swirled beneath its wings, transforming into razor-sharp wind blades that tore through the crowd.

Poof, poof, poof.

About a dozen people were sliced in half by the terrifying wind blades almost instantly.

Whoosh!

Without pausing, the Silver Eagle King shot toward the exit in a streak of silver light. Anyone in its path was mercilessly cut down, bodies falling like broken reeds.

“You damned little bird. This Heavenly Soul Holy Spring belongs to this ape!”

A furious roar thundered as a colossal staff emerged from the shadows, seemingly about to smash open the heaven and earth. It tore through the air with earth-shattering might, aiming to crush the Silver Eagle King.

Rumble!

The Silver Eagle King narrowly evaded, its speed saving it from certain death.

The staff struck the ground, shattering the unknown material beneath. Cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web from that spot.

The one who had struck was the Scarlet Flame Demon Ape.

“Little bird, hand over the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring. Otherwise, you will definitely not make it out today. It’s been far too long since my Primordial Demonic Staff bathed in blood,” said the Scarlet Flame Demon Ape, his cracked lips forming a smile.

Though it smiled, the chilling aura it exuded made everyone’s skin crawl.

“You damned stinking monkey, you’re a demon beast, yet you dare ally with these lowly humans? How disgraceful!” said the Silver Eagle King coldly.

The Scarlet Flame Demon Ape shot back, completely unconcerned, “What would a feathered fool like you know? Our ape clan is the primate of heaven and earth, born of its essence. Humans are our evolved kin, closely related to us. Teaming up with these so-called lesser creatures is nothing compared to the shame of associating with dimwitted beasts like you. Understand?”

Looks of displeasure appeared on the faces of the nearby crowd.

What nonsense was this? Humans evolved from apes? The Scarlet Flame Demon Ape was simply flattering itself.

However, Chen Fan was shocked in his heart. Based on the theory of evolution, the ancestors of the human race were indeed apes.

Then again, the laws of this world were often unpredictable.

Before Chen Fan could dwell further, a thunderous roar broke the tension.

“Bastard, who dares to snatch this young master’s Heavenly Soul Holy Spring?” yelled Guan Wei furiously. His frustration was unmatched.

The Heavenly Soul Holy Spring had been practically within his grasp—it should have been his!

He had a map; ultimately, he still had to fight with the crowd. The first to claim it wasn’t even him. This upset him so much that he could vomit blood.

Guan Wei did not show any weakness and struck out immediately, manifesting a large hand of primeval qi and grabbing at the Silver Eagle King.

Everyone was attacking the Silver Eagle King. Alliances and rivalries were forgotten. They knew that if they didn’t act now, the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring would slip out of reach forever.

Now, everyone was seeing red. Holding the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring meant defying everyone present and incurring their collective wrath.

Clang!

Clang!

Rumble!

All sorts of terrifying noises and sounds of explosions rang out.

Chen Fan followed closely behind, not in a hurry to take action. He slowly watched on like a prowler in the darkness, ready to make a move at any moment.

Under such a situation, the Silver Eagle King had no choice but to let go of the Heavenly soul Holy Spring temporarily. Even with its formidable strength, it could not withstand the barrage of attacks, especially with three other top experts in the crowd who rivaled its power.

The instant the Silver Eagle King let go, pandemonium erupted. The cultivators unleashed all kinds of cultivation techniques and martial arts furiously, trying to seize the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring, refusing to let anyone else gain the initiative.

“Hahaha, Heavenly Soul Holy Spring, the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring is mine, ah...”

A middle-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm expert seized the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring but was immediately bombarded into pieces by the storm of terrifying attacks. His miserable screams became the last sounds he made in the world.

Amidst the chaos, Guan Wei finally got his hands on the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring.

“Get lost, all of you. The Heavenly Soul Holy Spring is mine!” roared Guan Wei angrily. For him, this was more than just a victory—it was vindication. The Heavenly Soul Holy Spring had always been his, in his mind. Now, it finally fell into his hands.

Chla!

The sharp sound of air being torn apart rang out. A streak of terrifying sword light rubbed violently against the air, producing blazing flames and slashed at Guan Wei’s head.

The attack came from none other than the white-robed youth.

At this time, a mass of terrifying sword qi whistled around him. The sword intent coming from him was extremely terrifying as if it would rip the heavens apart.

The sheer force of his sword aura forced Guan Wei to relinquish the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring, his face contorted with frustration.

He hadn’t even had a moment to savor his prize before it was snatched from his grasp. He felt so vexed his lungs could explode.

“Hehe, all of you, don’t fight. This belongs to your granddaddy ape. Only a peerless demon like me is qualified to have this. That’s what being ‘deserving by virtue’ truly means, you know?” The Scarlet Flame Demon Ape grinned. It was just about to make a move to seize the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring when a change suddenly occurred.

“Roar!”

All of a sudden, an earth-shaking corpse roar came from the depths of the darkness. Overwhelming corpse qi swept out like a tsunami.

Boom, tch!

A large, furry hand instantly reached out from the darkness, grabbing at the people.

A late-stage half-step Manifestation realm expert caught in its path let out a blood-curdling scream. The monstrous hand pierced through his chest, crushing his heart in an instant. Blood sprayed in an arc as the unfortunate cultivator collapsed lifelessly to the ground.

“Damn it!” That loose-fitting white-robed youth cursed coldly. Sword light struck out at once, tearing through the air, and slashed violently at the large furry hand rushing toward him.

Clang!

The sword strike landed but to no avail. Sparks erupted on impact, the sound of metal clashing against metal reverberating through the area.

The massive, furry hand paused briefly. Then, with renewed ferocity, it surged forward, aiming for the loose-fitting white-robed youth.

That loose-fitting white-robed man quivered, unable to believe what just happened.

He retreated frantically, pulling several hundred feet back, narrowly dodging that terrifying hand.

However, the dozen or so martial artists behind him were not as lucky. They were blown up on the spot with a swipe and were turned into mists of blood, absorbed and devoured by this large furry hand.
