Chapter 1074 - Smashed to Death with a Palm

The combined attack of twenty to thirty people was enough to shake even a quasi-Legendary realm expert. Despite Chen Fan’s full strength, he couldn’t resist and nearly got blown up.

A few experts were also injured, with half their bodies blasted away by Chen Fan’s counterattacks, and they screamed in agony.

Unfortunately, no one cared about the few lost souls, as everyone’s heart was shaken.

Their combined attack had failed against Chen Fan—it didn’t even penetrate his flesh. He truly lived up to his reputation.

Suddenly, an expert shouted, “Everyone, let’s charge together. We have already heavily injured him, so he won’t last much longer. Kill him, and the Bodhi ancient tree is ours.”

“That’s right, what are you waiting for? Kill him while he’s weak. Annihilate him and seize the tree.”

“Kill him!”

The calls for his death resounded in Chen Fan’s ears, making his heart incredibly heavy.

One-on-one, he could kill any one of them. However, he couldn’t defeat them if they continued fighting him as a group.

Even though his Hegemonic Golden Body was not broken through, the terrifying force had already rushed inside him, shaking his organs.

If it wasn’t for the Heaven and Earth Furnace suppressing his injuries, he would have died from organ rupture like anyone else.

He couldn’t withstand much more.

“Attack, don’t give him a chance to catch his breath!” Yang Chongxiao roared. Saber intent gathered around him, tearing the air apart with a ripping sound.

“Universe Annihilating Saber, die!”

With that furious roar, Yang Chongxiao emitted a saber light that could annihilate the universe. It tore through space as if it would end the world.

“Fire Cloud Heaven Crumbling Hand!” Lian Huaqing struck without pause. With both hands, he summoned two massive, fiery-red palms that blotted out the sky. As they descended, the space between them collapsed.

They had sensed Chen Fan’s aura recovering slightly during this brief lull, and were inwardly alarmed by his speed but felt that it only made sense.

At their level, swift recovery methods were standard.

When power levels were close, victory rarely came from brute strength alone. It became a battle of foundations, especially one’s ability to recover. In such fights, a moment’s delay could be fatal.

They knew killing Chen Fan wouldn’t be easy. If they wanted to obliterate him in the truest sense of the word, leaving not even dregs behind at once, they had to keep up the pressure, allowing no time to heal.

“World Ending Halberd!” The ancient, simple-looking halberd in Yue Yu’s hand shone with an incomparably icy, chilling light that tore through space. The layers of halberd light seemed to be the world’s most terrifying killing power, blasting toward Chen Fan.

“Sword Breaks Heaven and Earth!” Ghastly, chilling light filled Wu Jinhong’s eyes. The golden ancient sword in his hand cried, making clanging sounds.

He struck continuously with his sword, like the long Milky Way pouring down the nine heavens, grandiose, yet lingering with sword intent. It seemed to tear through time itself, heralding destruction and the rise of Hell.

The four of them saw through Chen Fan’s perverse recovery speed. So, when the group's combined assault heavily injured him, they wasted no time in attacking again. They unleashed attacks with unrivaled killing power, determined to annihilate Chen Fan and leave no chance for a comeback.

“Scram!” Chen Fan’s expression was heavy. He took a deep breath, suppressing his tumbling qi and blood. A fierce light shot out of his eyes. The law of aura surged overwhelmingly, and he sent a Hand of Demon blasting out like it could destroy the heavens.

Terrifying, earth-shattering explosions resounded.

Rumble!

A terrifying storm swept out instantly. Chen Fan was struck hard, sent flying once again as blood sprayed violently from his mouth.

Yang Chongxiao and the other three also let out muffled groans, forced back as blood leaked from the corners of their lips.

“Sword Moves Nine States!” Wu Jinhong’s eyes flickered. A powerful aura suddenly surged from him, forming a terrifying storm and sweeping out. He slashed forward with his golden ancient sword. Blazing with divine golden light, the strike shot straight at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan had already injured him, so he knew that he couldn’t get the tree. Therefore, he could only look for a chance in the process of killing him.

With Chen Fan hit twice in succession, Wu Jinhong acted. He executed a secret technique to suppress his injuries; simultaneously, his aura peaked. He charged toward Chen Fan.

He would vanish without a trace if he succeeded in killing him and taking the Bodhi tree. Who could find him in the vast world?

But even as Wu Jinhong's plan took shape, Chen Fan sneered coldly and unleashed another Hand of Demon, nearly turning Wu Jinhong into meat paste and sending him reeling. His aura crashed, blood poured from his mouth, and his face twisted in agony.

Boom!

Taking advantage of this timing, Yang Chongxiao sent a streak of terrifying saber qi sweeping out and struck Chen Fan, heavily injuring him once more.

None of them were fools. Though they seemed united against Chen Fan, each held their secret ambitions. Beneath the surface, they were all scheming—ready to seize the Bodhi ancient tree the moment the opportunity arose.

Chen Fan’s vision went dark, feeling like he had been split in half. Even the Heaven and Earth Furnace was starting to struggle to suppress his injuries.

“Hahahaha, the Bodhi ancient tree is mine!” Yang Chongxiao shot toward Chen Fan like a gust of wind. With Chen Fan heavily injured, it was the perfect timing for him to kill Chen Fan and seize the Bodhi ancient tree.

Yue Yu, Lian Huaqing, and the others’ faces also changed, seeing Yang Chongxiao rushing in front of Chen Fan.

Suddenly, an unimaginable aura erupted from Chen Fan. The light of laws flickered around him densely, numbering forty to fifty of them.

Boom!

“Die!” Chen Fan shouted furiously. A Hand of Demon flew toward the approaching Yang Chongxiao.

Boom!

The terrifying Hand of Demon swept through the sky, with dozens of strands of law densely interwoven on it. The terrifying aura caused the souls of everyone present to tremble violently.

Yang Chongxiao was horrified. He had thought Chen Fan was on the verge of collapse, yet here he was, launching an attack on par with a quasi-Legendary expert.

If a peak Manifestation realm expert could comprehend and master the power of a hundred threads of law, they could step into the Legendary realm.

On the other hand, those able to wield the power of forty to fifty threads of law were called quasi-Legends.

The gap between a Greater Peak Manifestation realm and a quasi-Legend wasn’t just large—it was absolute. A gulf of dozens of law threads separated them, enough to make resistance futile.

To Yang Chongxiao, the descending Hand of Demon felt like death itself—inescapable and final. Panic overtook him. He tried to retreat.

However, there was no chance to do so. The Hand of Demon instantly pressed down.

Boom!

Following a loud rumbling noise, Yang Chongxiao completely disappeared, smashed into meat paste by Chen Fan.
