Chapter 1412 - Golden Grim Reaper

The Hua Alliance's experts were all in disbelief. Their joint attack had failed to take down Chen Fan. One slash from him held their combined assault at bay. Sounds Impossible? Sure. But that’s exactly what had just happened.

Even the divine wills eavesdropping from the city shook in disbelief.

“Holy mother of god, did he really just block that?”

“How is this possible? How could he possibly be this powerful? Taking down the Earth Guardian Deity was one thing, but tanking all of them at once? Unreal!”

“No wonder he dared to come to find trouble with the Hua Alliance. Turns out he’s a monster in disguise.”

“Wait, I know him. Isn’t that Chen Fan, the guy the Hua Alliance slapped a sky-high bounty on? They’ve been chasing him for nearly a year, and now he walks right into their front yard.”

“I see. Looks like the Hua Alliance provoked a freakishly ferocious character. He came to them, yet they failed to take him down. This will be a huge problem for them.”

Whispers spread like wildfire. The crowd realized exactly why he’d shown up: revenge. Bold, reckless, and—judging from the results—brilliantly effective.

An ordinary man would’ve been dead a dozen times over by now. Chen Fan? He was still standing, making the mighty Hua Alliance look like they had bitten off far more than they could chew.

“That all you got? Pathetic. Now die!” Chen Fan sneered coldly. Then, he charged like a tiger leaping into a pen of sheep. The slaughter began.

“

Ahhh

!”

In the blink of an eye, miserable screams rose and fell, like they would never end.

Chen Fan moved like a machine built only for killing—face calm, sword merciless. Every golden flash carved another life away, every swing painting the sky in red.

The crowd watched, horrified, as a single thought spread like wildfire.

A golden grim reaper has descended!

The Hua Alliance members could not resist him at all. Most couldn’t even register the strike before their heads hit the ground.

What was he if not a grim reaper?

Some people were terrified and immediately cried out for mercy.

“No, don’t kill me, I’m not from the Featherlight Sect!”

They couldn’t help but wonder why they had even joined the Hua Alliance. And even if they joined, why did they have to hunt Chen Fan? Did they think death would be fun?

Some Featherlight Sect disciples also knelt down and begged for mercy.

“Chen Fan, I was wrong. I was wrong! Spare my life. I’ll leave the Hua Alliance right this instant. I swear I’ll never cross you ever again. Just spare me this once. I was forced into it!”

Their pleas hit stone. Chen Fan gave no mercy, only steel.

In the span of a few breaths, dozens of so-called Void Immortal experts lay dead. The gap between them and him was no gap at all; it was a chasm, heaven to earth. And they’d just learned what falling felt like.

The half-immortals stood rooted, almost weeping blood as they watched their forces crumble. They had painstakingly built this army, and Chen Fan was carving through it like a butcher with chickens. How could the Hua Alliance survive after this?

Rage burned in them, but fear burned hotter. Once Chen Fan finished with their people, they knew exactly whose turn came next.

Fire Guardian Deity shouted out loud, “Stop him, we must stop him!”

If Chen Fan wiped out their ranks, the Hua Alliance would be nothing more than a name on paper.

All of a sudden, Fire Guardian Deity and the other half-immortals darted toward Chen Fan to stop his massacre.

“What’s the hurry? It’ll be your turn after I kill them!” The words drilled into their bones, leaving marrow-deep chills. No matter how hard they pushed, they couldn’t catch him. He was always a step ahead, always another corpse away.

Dozens more fell.

Blood slid off the tip of his sword continuously, dripping steadily like an hourglass counting down the lives he had left to take.

With his blank, unflinching face, he looked less like a man and more like Asura crawling out of hell.

No matter how much these people screamed and begged for mercy, they couldn’t slow him down. He swung his sword mechanically, harvesting lives until the last of them fell silent.

Finally, he stopped. Slowly, he turned his gaze to the half-immortal experts. “It’s your turn now.”

Swish!

He was on them in a blur, faster than before.

“Bastard, go to hell!”

Fire Guardian Deity and the others were completely overwhelmed with anger. They charged forward with even greater ferocity, unleashing battle cries. They wanted to slaughter Chen Fan with their own hands.

However, as soon as they made contact, Chen Fan split a third-stage half-immortal into two in one stroke.

So fast!

That was the thought that flashed in the third-stage half-immortal realm expert’s mind before he met his end.

Swish, swish, swish.

Chen Fan moved like lightning between Fire Guardian Deity and the others. Every blade flash sent blood flowering into the air.

The truth landed like a cold stone: their half-immortals were no better than the Void Immortals who had died. Their only fate was to be killed. It was only a matter of them withstanding a few more moves.

“We can’t keep this up, or we’ll all be cut down!” Fire Guardian Deity finally admitted. Chen Fan hadn’t barged in out of bravado. He was simply assured of his strength.

“Get into formation! Quickly get into formation!” Fire Guardian Deity roared, forming a Three Powers Battle Array with the Water and Wood Guardian Deities.

If the Earth Guardian Deity were still alive, they could have formed the even more powerful Four Symbols Battle Array; unfortunately, Chen Fan had already killed him earlier.

“Hoho, did you think you could stop me with this? How ridiculous!” Chen Fan completely disregarded their formation. “Where’s Qin Chuan? Is he still not coming out? It seems like you people are nothing more than his pawns that he can dispose of at will. Fine, if he’s not coming out, I’ll drag him out myself after killing you all.”
