Chapter 1486 - Sneak Attack

Xuan Yang was stunned.

“Bastard, you really killed him!”

He never imagined that not even Sage Xuan’s sage will would fail to save Xuan Xing. Chen Fan still crushed him all the same.

Chen Fan, treating his opponent like a mere ant, paid no heed. He said indifferently, “Since you came to kill me, you should be prepared to get killed. Did you think that the Xuan Clan’s name would scare me and save your brother?”

Xuan Yang’s eyes widened in rage, his heart bleeding. He roared furiously, “Bastard, you’re dead for sure! You’re definitely dead for sure! You killed Xuan Xing and triggered Ancestor Xuan’s will. Prepare to be hunted down by our Xuan Clan!”

The Xuan Clan was unlike the Xiao Clan. Sage Xuan was a newly enlightened Sage within the last ten thousand years, still alive and thriving, pushing the Xuan Clan into elite ranks across the Heavenly Realm.

Once Sages reached enlightenment, their wills fused with the heavens themselves. Sage Xuan surely already sensed what had happened in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm.

“Hoho, I’m so scared.” Chen Fan chuckled, unfazed.

True, he couldn’t afford to provoke Sage Xuan right now; however, he wasn’t defenseless, either.

Although the Heavenly Punishment Elder was only a top-tier Immortal Emperor, there were more than one Sage within the Featherlight Sect.

Would the Xuan Clan really dare come knock on their doors?

Moreover, Sage Xuan didn’t know he killed Xuan Xing.

After all, the ancient realm’s rules annihilated Sage Xuan’s will as soon as it erupted. Likely, all he knew was that something had happened to Xuan Xing.

As long as Chen Fan made it back to the Featherlight Sect, what if Sage Xuan later deduced that he killed Xuan Xing?

The crowd felt another chill run down their spines.

Chen Fan killed Xuan Xing without any hesitation. They had truly seen his ruthlessness.

From their perspectives, the deaths of people like Zhuang Hong and Jun Mu did not mean anything. After all, their backgrounds could not be compared to those of the Xuan Clan brothers; their backgrounds were even inferior to Xiao Shaoyun's.

The Xiao Clan had once produced a Sage. Even if that ancestor was long gone, it was still a real Sage clan, its foundations towering over Zhuang Hong’s lineage.

On the other hand, Sage Xuan was a new Sage in his prime. Yet, Chen Fan had no qualms about killing Xuan Xing. Was he really not afraid of Sage Xuan’s retaliation?

Sage Xuan had left his will on Xuan Xing and Xuan Yang, proof of how much he valued the twin brothers. Even if they offended an Immortal Emperor, the latter would have spared the brothers on account of Sage Xuan.

“This guy is really a lunatic. He really crushed Xuan Xing to death. He has no fear!”

“Anyone know his background? He’s shrugging off the Xuan Clan threat, like he’s a monstrous talent from a Sage clan himself!”

“I’m not sure about that. I never heard of a ‘Sage Chen’ or his clan in the Heavenly Realm.”

“There were twelve ninth-stage half-immortals in the beginning, and Chen Fan’s already killed six. That’s half of them. He’s a real killing god, a golden grim reaper.”

The nearby crowd sighed in awe. They’d believed Xuan Yang and his group built a mountain of blades or a sea of flames for Chen Fan. If he dared to come, he’d never return.

But in the end, Chen Fan used his terrifying strength to crush their schemes, killing and striking fear into them. Whatever pride or confidence they’d shown at the outset had crumbled completely.

Many among the crowd sighed in relief, rejoicing in the fact that they never got involved in this. Otherwise, their names would have been on the list of casualties.

Meanwhile, Xuan Yang, Xie Qingjin, Xiao Shaoyun, Wan Chengyao, Wan Shouyi, and Ren Kuangsheng all stared at Chen Fain in horror.

Unfortunately, there was no way out for them.

If they had known that Chen Fan was this terrifyingly powerful, killing ninth-stage half-immortals as easily as slaughtering poultry, they would never have been swayed by Xuan Yang and Xie Qingjin to gamble their lives

This wasn’t an assured victory, but a guaranteed death.

“Kill!” Xuan Yang roared. There was no retreat. They could only risk their lives and fight with all they had.

Chen Fan’s lips curled up into a cold smile. They were no match for him when they had twelve people; now, they had no chance.

Suddenly, a wave of danger crashed onto Chen Fan.

Boom, tch!

Almost instantly, Chen Fan felt as if an ancient divine mountain had slammed into him, like he would fall apart. A terrifying force rushed into him.

A sneak attack!

Seizing a split-second opportunity, someone ambushed him.

Chen Fan’s vision nearly went completely black. He spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, immediately coming back to his senses instinctively.

“We got him! Kill! Take his life while he’s down!”

Xuan Yang went wild with joy, unleashing the Polar Divine Fist toward Chen Fan like Mount Tai pressing down on him.

Xie Qingjin also struck. The light of death shot out from his eyes.

The sneak attack on Chen Fan was a part of their plans. However, Xiao Shaoyun, Wan Chengyao, and the others were stunned, but quickly caught on and joined the frenzied charge.

Boom, boom, boom!

These people’s terrifying attacks engulfed Chen Fan almost instantly.

Nearby, the crowd’s eyelids twitched in shock. The turn of events was just too abrupt; none had recovered from their surprise yet.

Below, Xiao Ruyue and the others, busy cutting down the members of the eight major forces, were so shocked their souls nearly left them.

“Chen Fan!”

They were just about to step in and help Chen Fan, but the members of the eight major forces suddenly exploded with reckless strength, barring their way and refusing to let them close—no matter the cost.

Although Xiao Ruyue and Li Yu were ninth-stage half-immortals, with the eight major forces joining hands, they faced fifty to sixty seventh and eighth-stage half-immortals, plus even more at lower stages. Breaking free anytime soon was impossible.

“Hahahaha, we got him! Damned bastard, no matter how strong you are, you still got wrecked by a sneak attack. Hahahaha!”

Xuan Yang and Xie Qingjin laughed maniacally.

Finally, the crowd caught sight of Chen Fan’s assailant. Recognition spread fast.

“Xue Lie! It’s actually Xue Lie!”

Xue Lie was a pride of heaven from an immortal holy land of the Heavenly Realm. His background wasn’t very impressive, hailing from an Immortal King clan. However, he had obtained an Immortal Emperor’s legacy: an expert famed for mastering spatial power.

So, Xue Lie was very proficient in wielding the power of space.

“No wonder. I didn’t expect them to still have such a hidden card. Even Xue Lie had joined them. Xue Lie is an expert in the Dao of space and has the Void Shuttle. That likely allowed him to sneak behind Chen Fan silently and launch a fatal strike.”

“That’s right. I was wondering how Chen Fan was ambushed so suddenly. It turns out that it was Xue Lie. He moves without a trace. The Dao of space is indeed powerful.”

“Now, Chen Fan is done for. Struck by Xue Lie and then bombarded by the others, iron or not, he’ll be nothing but scrap after this!” The crowd could only lament, anxious to see the next act unfold.
