Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 890 - Shang Ziyan’s Ultimate Method

“Shang Ziyan, all that planning and this is what you get!”

Someone cut off Shang Ziyan and snatched the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring away right before his eyes.

“It’s you! Bastard, it’s actually you!”

Shang Ziyan stared blankly before his aura started boiling like water, his expression savage.

Indignation surged in his heart. Though his cultivation was at the peak of the late-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm, he restrained his arrogance, waiting patiently to seize the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring.

Success was within reach. He could almost see his cultivation recovering, but Chen Fan had brutally shattered that sweet dream.

Chen Fan was like his lifelong nemesis. First, he let Shang Ziyan’s cannon fodder know that they were his cannon fodder, forcing him to flee in defeat. Now, just as the spring was about to be his, Chen Fan reappeared to ruin everything again.

He made his move while everyone was distracted by the terrifying jiangshi, but Chen Fan anticipated it. Despite his deep scheming, Chen Fan’s counterplot ran even deeper, waiting for Shang Ziyan to act before striking.

Rage!

Rage that burned the heavens!

His anger surged like a volcanic eruption, exploding with the force to scorch the heavens.

His aura soared like a rocket, reaching the peak of the late-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm and swept out.

“Bastard, you’re courting death. You’re courting death!” Shang Ziyan roared furiously. Like a ferocious beast out on a rampage, his aura swept through heaven and earth.

Chen Fan, unshaken by the display, sneered coldly. “Heh, Shang Ziyan. Quite the plan, hiding until now.”

“Damn you, you deserve to die!” Only boundless killing intent remained in Shang Ziyan’s eyes.

The Heavenly Soul Holy Spring would’ve helped him recover his cultivation and maybe even progress further. However, Chen Fan had snatched his hope away. How could he not be furious?

Anyone else would have already gone crazy from the anger.

Next to Shang Ziyan, Lei Yuanjie and Sun Yuhan also looked at Chen Fan in horror.

Before, they hadn’t clashed with him, but now, standing with Shang Ziyan meant opposing Chen Fan. It would end in death for one side.

However, as Shang Ziyan unleashed his full aura, their fear eased slightly.

Chen Fan was strong, and they were no match for him. Thankfully, Shang Ziyan’s cultivation had already recovered a bit. No matter how strong Chen Fan was, he couldn't be a match for Shang Ziyan.

“How dare you show yourself and foil my plans! I will kill you—tear you from limb to limb. No one in heaven or on earth can save you!”

Shang Ziyan’s killing intent swept out wildly as he rushed toward Chen Fan.

“Kill me? You? My defeated opponent! Hahahaha!!!” A look of disdain appeared on Chen Fan’s face.

“You damned bastard, do you think I’m the same as before? Die for me!” Shang Ziyan was boiling with anger.

That damned bastard Chen Fan had foiled his plans and was now humiliating him, further infuriating Shang Ziyan. He unleashed a palm strike that turned into a terrifying mountain range that pressed toward Chen Fan.

“Hahaha, what petty tricks, Shang Ziyan. You were lucky to get away back then. Today, you won’t be so lucky!” Chen Fan laughed out loud, fearless in the face of Shang Ziyan’s terrifying attack. He punched and shattered the mountain range.

Two more experts suddenly appeared, drawing some attention, but no one questioned why they had arrived now.

The three jiangshi were as tough as metal, impervious to weapons. Moreover, their auras were gradually becoming more stable, so they could utilize their strengths more freely. They charged into the crowd with overwhelming force, slaughtering anyone in their path.

Boom.

The scholar-like jiangshi swung its long arms, effortlessly grabbing an early-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm expert. It brutally tore the expert in half before devouring them.

In a rage, a middle-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm expert attacked that jiangshi, furious over the loss of his younger brother.

However, the jiangshi also tore apart that attack. The terrifying arm pierced through all of his defenses, dug out his heart, and stuffed it into its mouth.

The horrifying scene sent shivers down everyone’s spine, but it also unified the crowd.

They realized that unless they fought together with all their strength, many more would follow the same grim fate.

The three jiangshi went on a killing spree and devoured the blood essence of the experts. Their auras grew even stronger as they acclimated to their cultivation. Soon, it would be nigh impossible to defeat them.

“How are they this terrifying? They’re simply invulnerable. How are we supposed to fight them?”

Everyone was terrified.

The jiangshi were unstoppable, growing stronger as they fed on their flesh and blood to recover their primeval qi, leaving the crowd in despair.

In the outside world, they were all powerhouses; before these three jiangshi, they were like pigs and dogs. The gap in strength was insurmountable. Even Guan Wei and the other three top experts could only shake these three jiangshi lightly.

“What terrifying jiangshi. They are like three peerless ferocious creatures. No one can stop them.”

Su Tong trembled at the sight, her face draining of color.

“That’s right. Luckily, we listened to Chen Fan. Otherwise, we’d already be food for these jiangshi.”

Xiao Yuanyuan’s face had also turned ghastly pale.

The secret room had split into two battlefields: one with the crowd fighting the three jiangshi kings, and the other with Chen Fan facing Shang Ziyan.

“Bastard, I’ll tear you apart!” Shang Ziyan was so angry that his head was steaming. A terrifying demonic blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed at Chen Fan, the blade light splitting the sky.

He held nothing back as he attacked. He wanted to kill Chen Fan as quickly as possible, to relieve the hatred burning inside him.

His desire to kill Chen Fan now vastly surpassed his want for the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring.

While his injury had made his cultivation regress, it had made him two to three times stronger than those in the same cultivation level. With this slash, it seemed as if it could split the universe apart.

“It’s useless. You haven’t recovered your cultivation, but even if you had, you still wouldn’t have been a match for me. Break!” Chen Fan laughed, channeling the Hegemonic Golden Body to punch with pure physical strength, shattering that oncoming blade light into pieces.

“Shang Ziyan, today is the day you die!” Chen Fan strode forth with imposing steps, crossing over and arriving in front of Shang Ziyan in a flash. His fist was the most powerful weapon in the world, smashing over and exploding the air.

Rumble!

This punch blasted out with a deafening rumbling noise.

Shang Ziyan’s irises shrank violently, sensing the threat of death. He roared in disbelief, “How is this possible? How are you this strong?”

“Hoho, ask the King of Hell when you meet him in the afterlife!” Chen Fan threw out a punch with thunderous might.

Suddenly, Shang Ziyan’s aura erupted again, forming invisible shockwaves that pushed Chen Fan back.

Chen Fan steadied himself and narrowed his eyes. A brilliant light flashed across his eyes.

First-level Manifestation realm!

Shang Ziyan had actually recovered his cultivation!
