Chapter 1366 - Battling Xing Qian

“Look, Chen Wang and Chen Fan are facing off!”

“Hoho, Chen Wang defeated a peak Void Immortal expert in the last round. Rumors say that Chen Fan has peak Void Immortal-level combat strength, but no one knows for sure.”

“Oh, crud, Chen Wang opened with a big move. He’s trying to finish Chen Fan right away!”

When the Hua Alliance’s members saw Chen Fan facing Chen Wang, they immediately shifted their gazes toward the fight.

They were very confident in Chen Wang.

Even though Chen Fan was also powerful, his inferior cultivation level was readily apparent. Furthermore, Chen Wang was not trash like Wang Ba. Now that he had unleashed his ultimate attack right from the start, their conviction that he would win only grew stronger.

However, very soon, their expressions froze.

Before their eyes, a pair of hands reached out, seized that blazing sun, and tore it in half.

That was Chen Wang’s signature move!

Putting that move’s unparalleled might aside, the terrifying heat alone could burn a late-stage Void Immortal expert half to death. And Chen Fan? He was bare-handed. How could he dare?

Chen Wang himself reacted even more violently than the Hua Alliance.

He had unleashed his trump card not only to flaunt his strength but also to seize momentum. Yet instead of cowing his opponent, the result had shaken him to the core.

Chen Fan had actually torn apart his signature move.

“Is this all you’re capable of?”

Chen Fan’s voice rang in his ears, as if it belonged to a god or a demon, pulling Chen Wang back from his shock. He frantically suppressed his panic and retreated.

From that one clash, he could already feel the unbearable, suffocating pressure pressing down on him.

However, Chen Fan’s voice seemed to ring right by his ear.

“Do you think you can get away?”

A violent gust slammed against Chen Wang’s face; next, his vision was filled entirely with Chen Fan.

The next instant, pain exploded in his chest; the crunch of breaking bones echoed in his ears.

Bang!

Chen Wang felt as if his soul was scattering.

How was this possible?

How could Chen Fan strike so quickly that he couldn’t even react?

“Tell me, aren’t you people just asking for it? I refused to join you, and your answer is to make trouble for me? Aren’t you people cheap?”

Chen Fan ignored Chen Wang’s face, twisted in pain, and punched him again as fast as lightning, nearly causing him to lose consciousness.

“You think the Hua Alliance is so mighty? That you’re the boss, that everyone must bow to you? Who do you think you are!”

His expression remained cold, utterly devoid of emotion, as he pounded Chen Wang like a sandbag, venting the fury in his chest.

“How is this possible? Chen Wang is completely powerless against Chen Fan. How could this be?”

The Hua Alliance’s members were stunned in shock. The others were also petrified.

That was Chen Wang!

He might not have been in the top ten, yet he was still strong enough to rank within the top thirty, even the top twenty. And now, Chen Fan was thrashing him like a rag doll. The sight was... nonsensical.

“Damn it!”

“That damned bastard is taking revenge!”

The people of the Hua Alliance were furious upon seeing Chen Wang’s miserable state. It was also a stain on their reputation.

“If you have a problem, just come at me! Why did you touch my senior brother!”

Chen Fan grabbed Chen Wang’s head and descended at incredible speed.

Rumble!

The ground in the spatial battlefield shook violently as Chen Fan slammed Chen Wang to the ground. Blood streamed from his seven orifices, and he convulsed uncontrollably. Half his life was gone, and he had already lost consciousness.

This scene sent chills down the spines of countless people.

It was too horrific!

This beating would scar Chen Wang’s heart for the rest of his life.

Not long ago, Xing Qian had beaten Yan Weiyi half to death; now, Chen Fan returned the favor, but his vengeance was even more savage, leaving Chen Wang far worse off.

After defeating Chen Wang, Chen Fan quickly became the center of attention for countless people. He was already someone to watch, but after this, all eyes were on him.

If even Chen Wang could be tossed aside like a dead dog, powerless to resist, then what was the true extent of Chen Fan’s strength?

Ordinary peak Void Immortal experts could never have achieved this. Had Chen Fan already reached Xing Qian’s level?

However, there wasn’t much time to rest. A new round of battles quickly began.

Due to hundreds of thousands of people registering for the competition, the schedule was very tight; otherwise, the tournament might drag on indefinitely. It was also a test of endurance for these young elites.

For Chen Fan, however, this was not a problem at all. No matter what kind of opponent he came across, he would sweep through them all with ease.

In the following rounds, no opponent of Chen Wang’s caliber emerged. And that made sense, among so many competitors, Chen Wang’s strength was exceptional.

If he hadn’t met Chen Fan in advance, he could have easily made it into the top thirty. Instead, he was battered into the ground, humiliated, and eliminated before even reaching the top one thousand.

Soon, most of the participants were eliminated; now, only about five thousand people remained. Every one of them was an elite among the elites. To survive this far meant standing at the very peak. Basically, no one below late-stage Invincible Legendary cultivation had a chance of making it here.

Chen Fan easily disposed of another early-stage Void Immortal expert. By now, the spectators were numb.

His victories no longer surprised anyone; in fact, the real shock would have been if he faltered. Before anyone realized it, the people’s psychology had shifted: Chen Fan was no longer just a dark horse; he was a favorite for the top ten.

Of course, that assumed he didn’t run into monsters like Ye Kuang or Si Kong.

After a short wait, it was Chen Fan’s turn again. He stepped onto the battlefield.

“Chen Fan, I finally ran into you in this round!” A cold voice rang out from the opposite side. The crowd’s eyes sharpened: it was none other than Xing Qian, ranked tenth among the top ten.

The moment their names appeared together, the outside world stirred.

“Look, my god, Chen Fan is matched up against Xing Qian!”

“

Tsk tsk

, now this is a clash. Xing Qian crippled Yan Weiyi, Chen Fan destroyed Chen Wang, and their grudges runs deep. It’s all going to explode here!”

“That’s right. The real question is, who’s stronger? This feels like a preview of the actual top ten.”

The crowd discussed fervently, watching the two.

Xiang Qian was a proven powerhouse, firmly established within the top ten. Chen Fan, meanwhile, was storming his way upward, a favorite to seize a spot for himself. To see them collide here, with bitter enmity already between them, it was like watching a meteorite smash into the earth. No one doubted that this battle would be nothing short of spectacular.
