Chapter 1073 - A Bloody Battle with the Experts

“Everyone, let’s stop wasting time and quickly get rid of him!” Yue Yu shouted.

“Alright, we’ll join forces to kill him!” Wu Jinhong immediately assented.

He hated Chen Fan to the bones.

Chen Fan had heavily injured him. The injury ensured that even if they killed Chen Fan, it would be impossible for him to compete with Yue Yu, Yang Chongxiao, and Lian Huaqing.

“That’s right. Don’t be intimidated by his reputation. He’s nothing special. Maybe a little stronger than us, but with all of us together, he’s dead for sure.” Yang Chongxiao also yelled.

Killing Chen Fan was their only chance to obtain the Bodhi ancient tree.

“Do it. If word spreads and a Legend shows up, we’ll lose our chance!” shouted Lian Huaqing and immediately struck, his palm grabbing at Chen Fan.

“Fire Cloud Heaven Crumbling Hand!”

A terrifying, fiery-red, large hand surged forward, as if it could tear the sky apart.

The Fire Cloud Heaven Crumbling Hand was a signature martial art of the Fire Reverence Cult. Almost everyone in the cult practiced it, but their mastery over it differed. If the cult master executed it, the star and the moon would be split in half.

As a prodigy from the cult, Lian Qinghua received heavy nurturing from the Fire Reverence Cult. His Fire Cloud Heaven Crumbling Hand had reached a very profound level, possessing very terrifying might.

“

Hmph

, break for me!” Chen Fan let out a cold snort, brushing aside the palm strike.

Immediately, a large golden palm swept out, crushing the sky, and collided with the oncoming Fire Cloud Heaven Crumbling Hand.

Yang Chongxiao and the others also struck simultaneously with Lian Huaqing.

“Star River Shattering Saber, go to hell!”

Shocking saber intent surged violently from Yang Chongxiao. The Blade Saint Mountain was revered across the Tianwu Continent for its blade arts. If they claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

As their prodigy, Yang Chongxiao’s mastery of the blade Dao was extremely high. His saber came crashing down, its light blazing like a river of stars—vast and unstoppable.

Chen Fan punched with his left hand, not panicking in the slightest. The fist force transformed into a flood dragon, storming out with a roar. Its sharp claw ripped through the falling saber light and tore it apart in a flash.

“Sword Moves Heaven and Earth!”

Chla!

The air seemed to crack and shatter like brittle candy when Wu Jinhong attacked with his golden ancient sword. A streak of sword qi, vast and terrifying, sliced through the sky like it could sever heaven itself.

Wherever the sword light passed, the space was cut apart, and an endless gale swept out.

Although Wu Jinhong was heavily injured, he was not to be underestimated. Even though he was not as strong as Yang Chongxiao, Lian Huaqing, and the others now, he was no weakling either.

“Sword, out!” Chen Fan roared. His pores opened in unison, and strands of sword qi burst out from within him, tearing through the air.

They collided with Wu Jinhong’s incoming strike in midair, exploding into a storm of sword energy that shook the heavens.

“Go, no matter how strong he is, he’s not a match for all of us. Strike together, kill him, and seize the Bodhi ancient tree.”

They all swarmed Chen Fan. Their cultivations erupted, and all sorts of powerful attacks swept toward Chen Fan like a storm.

Although these people were not as strong as Yang Chongxiao and the others, they were still top experts. Together, their assault was anything but trivial.

Under such ferocious bombardment, even Chen Fan couldn’t hold out indefinitely. His attacks were broken through in an instant.

Some attacks struck him directly. While his Hegemonic Golden Body held firm, the impact shook his insides. Blood surged up, and he spat it out.

“Hehe, the Bodhi ancient tree is mine.” Seeing Chen Fan injured, a Greater Peak Manifestation realm from a superpower laughed out loud and charged toward him. The power of three threads of law erupted in his palm.

Once he obtained the tree, the expert planned to activate a powerful movement technique and vanish. No one, not even monstrous talents, would be able to catch him then.

However, a palm as dark as ink crashed down from the sky.

Boom!

While blocking the countless attacks, this genius disciple of a major sect was also directly crushed into a bloody pulp.

“Kill!”

“Attack with all you’ve got!”

Led by Yang Chongxiao, Lian Huaqing, and the others, dozens of people bombarded Chen Fan crazily in unison. The momentum could cause even a Legend’s face to change.

Chen Fan answered in kind, unleashing everything—cultivation, every power—without holding back. Nearly twenty threads of law merged into his strikes, unleashing devastating might.

Screams echoed as enemies fell one after another.

Boom!

Chen Fan sent Lian Huaqing flying with a kick, breaking numerous bones.

Surrounded and outnumbered, Chen Fan showed no fear; instead, his battle spirit burned brighter. The more they attacked, the fiercer he fought.

“Damn it, useless. You’re all useless. Attack with all your strength. Do you want to see him kill us all one by one?” Yang Chongxiao roared angrily, slashing continuously with his saber. Streaks of terrifying saber light smashed down like a mountain range with extreme power.

Many people’s faces changed, as they really had been holding back. Consequently, they couldn’t wound Chen Fan, and he was the one actually killing their allies.

Many people came to their senses with Yang Chongxiao’s roar and saw the situation clearly. They knew that if they continued holding back, it would be impossible to kill him.

All of a sudden, many people were overflowing with murderous qi.

Chen Fan’s face changed when he sensed their aura.

Given his current strength, he faced little pressure, at least while many attackers were holding back, hoping to swoop in for easy spoils.

After all, their half-hearted strikes couldn’t pierce his Hegemonic Golden Body at all.

With only Yang Chongxiao, Lian Huaqing, Yue Yu, and Wu Jinhong fighting in earnest, Chen Fan wasn’t worried; in fact, he welcomed it.

“Kill!”

Twenty to thirty people roared furiously and charged at Chen Fan, blasting out with their strongest moves.

“Fire Cloud Heaven Crumbling Hand!”

“Star River Shattering Saber!”

“Sword Moves the World!”

“Universe Shaking Halberd!”

Yang Chongxiao, Lian Huaqing, and the others joined in, pouring out every thread of law they could muster and launching their ultimate moves.

Rumble!

The space in front of Chen Fan collapsed under the combined assault. Chaos qi surged, and a violent gale tore through the battlefield.

Chen Fan’s expression changed drastically. Facing the crowd’s combined attack, he simply couldn’t resist.

“Break!” Chen Fan gritted his teeth and executed the Undefeated King’s Fist. Three heads and six arms manifested, and his six arms executed different powerful cultivations and blasted out.

It was a collision as terrifying as a meteorite slamming into Earth. The sky exploded, and a wide swath of the void caved in.

A terrifying energy storm cut across heaven and earth.

The blast swallowed Chen Fan. Blood burst from his mouth mid-air, laced with fragments of his organs; he was sent flying like a broken arrow.

Even with all his strength unleashed, he couldn’t endure the full-force assault of thirty elites—he was gravely wounded.
