Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 891 - Killing a Manifestation Realm

Shang Ziyan erupted at this critical moment. His aura surged violently, an invisible qi current pushing Chen Fan back.

Chen Fan looked at Shang Ziyan, somewhat flabbergasted.

First-level Manifestation realm!

Shang Ziyan was now a first-level Manifestation realm expert!

“Bastard, bastard, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault! You forced me to use this forbidden technique. You deserve to die. You deserve to die ten thousand times!” Shang Ziyan cursed, staring at Chen Fan resentfully.

Faced with life and death, he had no choice but to use the forbidden technique, restoring his cultivation to its peak.

His Martial Soul was already damaged and executing this technique had only injured his soul further. Now, even if he killed Chen Fan and seized the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring, it was likely that his Martial Soul wouldn’t recover completely.

He could have silently taken the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring, but Chen Fan just had to go ruin everything.

Now, he had forced Shang Ziyan to execute a forbidden technique, completely dashing his hopes of a full recovery. The four seas couldn’t calm the killing intent in his heart toward Chen Fan now.

Shang Ziyan’s sudden outburst and the terrifying first-level Manifestation realm aura drew the crowd’s attention.

Among the Heavenly Star realm and half-step Manifestation realm martial artists, a Manifestation realm expert stood out like a firefly in the night.

“Manifestation realm, it’s actually the Manifestation realm!”

Lei Yuanjie and Sun Yuhan trembled all over.

They knew that Shang Ziyan’s cultivation level had regressed. Still, they had assumed that with his cultivation level—peak, late-stage, half-step Manifestation realm—he could move unhindered in the tomb, fearless even in the face of Guan Wei and the other three top experts. To their surprise, Shang Ziyan actually still had such means up his sleeves.

They were also astonished by Chen Fan’s tremendous strength, forcing Shang Ziyan into executing that forbidden technique.

The price for doing so would be huge.

“Damn it, he actually performed a forbidden technique to recover his strength. Chen Fan is now in danger!”

Su Tong and Xiao Yuanyuan’s expressions changed.

If Shang Ziyan killed Chen Fan, would the latter let the two of them go?

Guan Wei and the others, seeing a glimmer of hope, roared at Shang Ziyan, hoping he would help them deal with the jiangshi.

“Hey, you over there, quickly come over and help kill the jiangshi!”

Rumble!

But the three jiangshi were not so easily distracted. Terrifying attacks came crashing down, nearly hitting them. Cold sweat dripped down their backs as they had no choice but to refocus on battling the monsters.

Shang Ziyan ignored Guan Wei and the others. Now, he had a single thought in mind: kill Chen Fan.

This was a feud that could not be left unpunished.

“Bastard, are you satisfied now? You got what you wanted, didn’t you? It’s all because of you! You forced me to do this. Now, my injuries will never heal completely. You deserve to die. You deserve to die!!!”

Shang Ziyan’s eyes were bloodshot, his aura crashing toward Chen Fan like a tsunami.

Chen Fan did not show the slightest hint of fear. On the contrary, he was becoming restless and eager to have a go at it.

He had killed many half-step Manifestation realm experts, including many who claimed to possess Manifestation realm combat strength.

Still, he knew a half-step was far from the real thing, with a vast gap separating the two. Now, though, he had the chance to face a true Manifestation realm expert and test his strength.

“I want you dead, I want your whole family dead! Go to hell!”

Shang Ziyan shot forward like a streak of lightning, appearing in front of Chen Fan. He slashed down with his saber with such immense force that it shook heaven and earth and made ghosts and gods weep.

Chla!

This attack directly split Chen Fan in half.

“How terrifying, he actually killed Chen Fan in one slash!”

Horror appeared on Sun Yuhan’s face.

But Lei Yuanjie quickly corrected him. “No, that’s just an afterimage!”

Shang Ziyan was also slightly taken aback.

As a genuine first-level Manifestation realm expert, his attack was beyond the capacity of anyone below that realm to survive. Yet, his strike had only sliced Chen Fan’s afterimage in half, leaving Shang Ziyan clueless as to how Chen Fan dodged it.

“Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad. That made me a little excited.” Chen Fan’s voice rang out from behind, making Shang Ziyan’s hair stand on end. When did Chen Fan appear behind him?

Shang Ziyan immediately turned around and slashed out; this time, Chen Fan didn’t dodge. He clenched his fist and charged forward.

Bang!

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out, and Shang Ziyan felt the webbing between his fingers tear open. Fresh blood sprayed out. His whole arm went numb from the force of the recoil, and he was pushed back from the impact, setting off ripples in the air from his steps.

“How is this possible?” Shang Ziyan looked at Chen Fan in shock.

Chen Fan had taken his slash barehanded and came out unscathed. He was like an immovable reef, while Shang Ziyan, the Manifestation realm expert, had his webbing torn.

Below, Lei Yuanjie and Sun Yuhan were also astonished, their souls nearly leaving them.

Chen Fan loosened his fist, shook it out, and smiled at Shang Ziyan. “And here I thought you would be strong after recovering. Manifestation realm? What a joke. I overestimated you. Just die!”

Before his voice faded, Chen Fan launched forward with a sonic boom, shattering the air and causing an explosive collapse as he closed in on Shang Ziyan. His fist shot out, striking with overwhelming force.

Every punch was strong enough to shatter a star and could pierce through the continent. It was like golden stars were smashing down, destroying heaven and earth.

Shang Ziyan slashed out frantically to block Chen Fan’s attacks.

Boom, boom, boom...

However, Chen Fan was not going easy at all at this moment. With his level 20 Hegemonic Golden Body, he could fight against a Manifestation realm expert. Every punch was like an ancient divine mountain smashing down. One could imagine its power.

Shang Ziyan almost vomited blood from frustration.

Chen Fan’s punches were extremely terrifying. The immense strength surged through Shang Ziyan’s saber, wreaking havoc within him, unstoppable despite his attempts to suppress it.

Rumble!

Shang Ziyan’s saber shattered, and his chest nearly caved in as he was sent flying backward.

“Die!” Chen Fan chased after him, determined to kill Shang Ziyan.

Shang Ziyan was horrified.

Chen Fan was a monster. He had already executed a forbidden technique and raised his cultivation back to the peak. Yet, he was still utterly powerless before Chen Fan, beaten as though he were a mere weakling.

“Heaven Crippling Leg!” Shang Ziyan moved his crippled leg, sweeping out.

This was his strongest weapon. He didn’t expect it to kill Chen Fan—just to land a heavy blow. But he was clearly overestimating himself.

Thump!

Chen Fan’s punch pierced through Shang Ziyan’s leg.

“Ah!” Shang Ziyan screamed miserably. Chen Fan had broken his leg, which had been refined into a treasure.

“Die.” Chen Fan shouted. The might of his fist was like a prison, breaking through all of Shang Ziyan’s defenses.

“Pfft!” Shang Ziyan spewed fresh blood wildly as he flew backward, his skeleton nearly disintegrating.

Finally, Shang Ziyan understood that the gap between them was like clouds and mud.

His so-called hidden cards and schemes were simply a joke in front of the terrifying strength of a freak like Chen Fan. It was as flimsy as a piece of paper, which Chen Fan could blast through with a punch.

Realizing the hopelessness of his situation, he didn’t hesitate. He let out a furious roar and ignited all of his true primeval, turning into a stream of light to escape. As for Lei Yuanjie and Sun Yuhan’s lives, it did not concern him.

However, there was no way Chen Fan would give Shang Ziyan a chance to escape.

Chen Fan immediately punched out. The fist force was like a flood dragon, biting down on Shang Ziyan.

Poof!

Shang Ziyan was instantly reduced to a mist of blood, his mind and soul annihilated in a single blow.

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Chen Fan to kill a cultivation regressor who had returned to their peak.

This was too terrifying!

Was he still human?!
