Chapter 1397 - Slaying Bian Yun in a Flash

A fierce shout rang out from within the city.

“Gai Youdi, I’m coming to help you!”

Simultaneously, a streak of terrifying saber qi came slashing from afar, tearing through the sky.

Bang!

Chen Fan smashed this saber qi into pieces.

“It’s Bian Yun! He has come out of seclusion!”

“It seems like he’s already broken through to the third-stage half-immortal realm!”

The members of the Eclipse Alliance perked up in excitement at once. Excitement replaced the fear that Chen Fan’s overwhelming strength had stirred in them. Gai Youdi, powerful as he was, might not be a match for Chen Fan alone, but two third-stage half-immortals? That was a different story.

A figure swept over as fast as lightning and appeared behind Chen Fan. He wielded an immortal saber and slashed at Chen Fan with ruthless precision.

Swish!

Chen Fan instantly darted aside, narrowly avoiding the attack. Only then did he get a proper look at the newcomer.

The youth looked to be in his twenties, clad in traditional robes and radiating an aura on par with Gai Youdi’s. He was another third-stage half-immortal.

“Be careful, Bian Yun. This little bastard is powerful,” Gai Youdi warned, relief softening his voice now that reinforcements had arrived.

His earlier arrogance was gone entirely; Chen Fan had crushed it. He had fancied himself a peerless prodigy of heaven, yet he felt insignificant beside Chen Fan.

Bian Yun nodded and said, “Hmph, it’s just that Brother Huang isn’t around. Otherwise, he could have killed him with a single slap.”

“Big Brother has gone to pursue Luo Wushuang. He should return in a few days. If he sees the alliance like this, we’ll have some explaining to do.”

“That’s right. That’s why we have to kill him!”

“Kill!”

Bian Yun’s emergence from seclusion bolstered Gai Youdi’s confidence. He refused to believe two third-stage half-immortals couldn’t take down Chen Fan together.

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Swish, swish.

Gai Youdi and Bian Yun shot forward, one to the left and the other to the right, like ferocious tigers descending from the mountains.

Chen Fan furrowed his brow.

Although he had grown significantly stronger after receiving the Heavenly Punishment Elder’s guidance, based on his estimation, his combat strength only reached the peak of the third-stage half-immortal realm by his own estimation.

Against Gai Youdi and Bian Yun working in tandem, things could get troublesome.

“I was wondering why Bian Yun didn’t appear earlier. It turns out that he was in seclusion, pushing towards the third stage. It seems like he has succeeded.”

“That kid’s in danger now. With Gai Youdi and Bian Yun side by side, can he really hold his ground?”

The city buzzed with speculation, but Chen Fan showed no fear. Instead, his eyes lit with dazzling brilliance as he stepped forward to meet them head-on.

The Sky Breaking Sword materialized in Chen Fan’s grasp. Stepping forward, he unleashed a white slash with a swing that seemed as though it would split the sky. Endless sword qi poured forth; in that instant, Chen Fan seemed less like a man and more like an invincible sword immortal descended to earth.

For Chen Fan, it made no difference whether it was the way of the sword, the saber, or any other martial path; as the saying went: master one principle, and you master them all.

Rumble!

The two sides clashed in an instant, unleashing ring after ring of terrifying qi waves that surged in every direction. The air collapsed, space itself twisted under the destructive force.

Boom, boom, boom!

Gai Youdi and Bian Yun’s teamwork was impeccable. Their attacks flowed smoothly like mercury and fiercely like a storm, overwhelming Chen Fan.

Yet Chen Fan showed no weakness. Even against their combined assault, his defense was flawless. Moreover, he struck back at times, forcing the two into brief moments of panic.

“

Hmph

, did you think you would be my match if you joined hands? You’re too naïve!”

Chen Fan’s true primeval erupted, bursting forth like a vast shockwave. His speed spiked; in a single step, he shot forward like a golden-winged roc, appearing before Bian Yun in a blink.

Bian Yun had just broken through to the third-stage half-immortal realm but hadn’t fully mastered its power. His control was unsteady, leaving him slightly weaker than Gai Youdi, and Chen Fan seized upon that opening.

The Sky Breaking Sword thrust out, splitting into countless sword lights that filled the heavens, cascading down like a tidal wave.

The overwhelming sword intent seemed like it would bury and wipe out all living creatures in heaven and earth.

“Damn it!” Bian Yun let out a low roar, feeling intense pressure. He swung his saber furiously, slashing with earth-shattering force, each strike tearing at heaven and earth in desperate resistance.

Streaks of sharp saber qi wove into an impenetrable net, churning up a storm that howled like a hurricane as it surged against the descending sword lights.

Meanwhile, Gai Youdi appeared behind Chen Fan. He pierced through heaven and earth with his golden spear, producing rumbling noises as he stabbed toward Chen Fan’s back.

“

Hmph

, break!”

Chen Fan ignored Gai Youdi’s ambush. A fierce look flickered in his eyes. The Sky Breaking Sword blossomed with shocking sword light, as if the man and sword had become one, instantly breaking through the impenetrable net of sabers.

“What?” Bian Yun was flabbergasted. He retreated as fast as he could and roared furiously, “Gai Youdi, save me!”

“Save you? How will he?” Chen Fan’s cold voice rang out. The Wings of Rain Dragon spread out. His speed suddenly increased, and he arrived in front of Bian Yun in a flash.

A chilling light gleamed on the Sky Breaking Sword; it filled Bian Yun’s vision, and in the next heartbeat, his head flew skyward. Without pause, Chen Fan whirled around and lunged at Gai Youdi before he could react.

Rumble!

The sword and spear collided, immediately setting off endless qi waves.

Gai Youdi’s hand went numb, pain lancing up his arm as he staggered back. He pulled back, and only then did his eyes catch the sight of Bian Yun’s severed head tumbling through the air.

Though lengthy to describe, all of it transpired in the blink of an eye. A third-stage half-immortal had been slain in a single stroke.

The city's experts were also astonished.

“What? Bian Yun died!”

This was too terrifying.

Just a moment prior, Bian Yun was attacking Chen Fan together with Gai Youdi, and now he was headless, the shock cutting straight into their souls.

Naturally, Chen Fan wouldn’t care about their shock. Before the dust settled, his next attack had already arrived.

“Gai Youdi, it’s your turn.”

His onslaught surged like the relentless tide, crashing forward without end.

The Sky Breaking Sword was like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, stabbing toward Gai Youdi’s chest.
