Chapter 1394 - Recruit

“Consequences? What consequences?”

Facing the aggressive Gai Youdi, Chen Fan showed no signs of panic. With a calm expression, he said, “I only know that if you provoke me, only death awaits you.”

“What arrogance!” Gai Youdi flew into a rage.

He figured the five had tried to snatch Chen Fan’s treasure, mistaking his low cultivation for weakness, only to crash into iron. Chen Fan was anything but easy prey.

Although the alliance members were at fault, from his perspective, Chen Fan should have let them take it without resistance because they were Eclipse Alliance members.

Swish, swish, swish.

Meanwhile, dozens more from the Eclipse Alliance arrived. Their auras were all restrained yet powerful, with no fewer than ten peak Void Immortals, and two of them had auras at a similar level to Ye Kuang, at the half-immortal realm. As for the others, the weakest among them was at the late-stage Void Immortal level.

With a half-immortal like Gai Youdi leading them, the Alliance’s power was obvious: no wonder the jade-crowned youth acted so arrogantly, as if robbing people was their right.

“You’re pretty wild, brat, to dare kill our people. Don’t you know how to spell ‘death?’” The speaker was one of the two half-immortals. He looked boyish yet ruthless; he was the Boy of Three Wonders.

“Why don’t you teach me?” Chen Fan looked at Boy of Three Wonders with a vague smile.

He could have easily beaten a half-immortal on par with Ye Kuang a month ago; now, the outcome would be very different.

Although the Eclipse Alliance had many people, Chen Fan wasn’t afraid at all. If he wanted to leave, these people wouldn’t be able to stop him.

“Very well. You’re pretty skilled, seeing as how you could kill peak Void Immortal Pang Gantian. But if you think that alone qualifies you to challenge the Eclipse Alliance, then it’s laughable! Look at the heads hanging on the city gates. Those arrogant fools also dared to challenge us. Tell me, are you frightened yet?” said Boy of Three Wonders coldly.

“You reckless fool, how dare you cause trouble at our Eclipse City and kill our people. You must be really tired of living,” said another youth with arched eyebrows. He was also in the half-immortal realm, similar to Boy of Three Wonders; murderous qi emanated from him. “Our alliance has killed at least eight hundred, if not over a thousand, ants like you who didn’t know their place.”

“How laughable,” said Chen Fan, shaking his head.

“Brat, what’s laughable about that?” asked the arched eyebrow youth.

“Your bluster. You really think you’re above the heavens,” Chen Fan replied, his voice edged with mockery.

“Interesting. You think we’re trying to intimidate you? Ridiculous.” The youth with arched eyebrows instantly released a terrifying aura, his arrogance reaching the skies.

Behind him, incomparably terrifying qi condensed, as though countless martial Dao intents had manifested all at once.

“You guys stay back. I’ll test how capable he truly is, daring to strut before us.” The youth’s arched brows twitched as he advanced, his aura crashing forward like an endless tide.

The others merely sneered, confident that Chen Fan would crumble under this opponent’s might.

Yet Chen Fan walked straight through the suffocating aura as though it were mist. His eyes were calm, his words cutting as he said, “You? Trash like you isn't even good for a warm-up.”

“You’re seeking death!” The arched-eyebrow youth flew into a rage. He was a half-immortal, but a Void Immortal brat was looking down on him.

In a flash, he appeared before Chen Fan, his arm surging outward to summon a colossal divine silhouette that stomped down, seeking to crush Chen Fan in midair.

The gigantic divine figure—woven entirely from the arched-brow youth’s true primeval—was pure yet terrifying, giving the illusion that a single casual stomp could crush everything.

“Petty tricks. Break.” Chen Fan smiled faintly, sword light gathering in his palm before lancing skyward.

His strike pierced straight through the divine figure; the colossal silhouette exploded into fragments. Blood drenched the arched-brow youth’s arm as he staggered back, horror flooding his eyes.

Thump, thump, thump.

Chen Fan had shattered his attack with a casual move and wounded him in the process.

“Weak!” Chen Fan said indifferently, standing with his hands behind his back.

With this, the faces of the Eclipse Alliance members froze. They didn’t expect Chen Fan to defeat a half-immortal with a casual move. True, the arched-brow youth was the weakest among them, but he was still a half-immortal.

Brilliant light shot out of Gai Youdi’s eyes. Obviously, Chen Fan’s strength had exceeded his expectations. No wonder he had easily killed the jade crown youth and the other four.

The Boy of Three Wonders rushed out.

“Let me test you.”

Sword qi erupted from every pore, converging above his head into a boundless torrent. In an instant, it condensed into a titanic blade that slashed downward.

“Heaven’s Burial!”

With a fierce shout from the Boy of Three Wonders, the large sword sliced through the sky like a long river to bury heaven and earth.

Chen Fan was unfazed as he raised his hand and sent out a palm strike, which turned into a huge Hand of Demon. It swept across the sky and grabbed the descending sword.

Boom!

The Hand of Demon collided violently with the large sword in the air. The sword erupted in a frenzy of endless qi, slashing wildly in an attempt to tear the dark hand apart.

Yet the Hand of Demon proved indestructible. Its fingers clenched with brutal force, crushing the great sword into fragments that unraveled into a storm of sword qi, scattering in every direction.

After crushing the large sword, the Hand of Demon continued smashing toward the Boy of Three Wonders. His expression changed drastically as he darted away frantically, looking at the unruffled Chen Fan.

This person is so strong!

“You dare to show off in front of me with such meager strength? How laughable!” Chen Fan said indifferently, causing the Boy of Three Wonders and the arched-eyebrow youth’s expressions to become incomparably ugly.

Clap, clap, clap.

The sound echoed sharply. All eyes turned to Gai Youdi.

“Impressive,” He said, “This Dao brother, if you join my Eclipse Alliance, we can erase the matter of you killing our people. What do you say?”

Apparently, Gai Youdi had considered recruiting Chen Fan into the alliance after witnessing his tremendous strength.

As for the jade crown youth and the others, they were dead. Their value had vanished with their lives. There was no need to make a needless enemy of someone as formidable as Chen Fan.

A living Chen Fan was worth far more than five corpses, worth even more than the Boy of Three Wonders and the arched-brow youth standing there now.
