Chapter 1487 - Opportunity to Kill Chen Fan

No one in the crowd could have imagined that Chen Fan would be ambushed; with this unexpected twist, their hearts spun in disbelief.

Previously, Chen Fan had displayed divine might, like a grim reaper descending; he crushed the twelve allied ninth-stage half-immortals in an utterly one-sided fashion.

But now, Xue Lie had succeeded in ambushing Chen Fan, followed by a bombardment from Xuan Yang and five other ninth-stage half-immortals. Even if he survived, he would probably lose a layer of skin.

Could this be the turning point of this battle?

“It’s over. Chen Fan’s finished now.”

“That’s right. Xue Lie’s attack caught him off guard, bombarded by Xuan Yang and the others’ killing moves. Even if he was made of iron, he’d be reduced to scrap metal.”

“Xue Lie’s ambush was too much of a surprise. Chen Fan had no time to react at all and was hit.”

“This couldn’t be helped. Xue Lie specializes in the Dao of space, and he possesses the Void Shuttle. Even if an Immortal were in Chen Fan’s position, they couldn’t have avoided his ambush.”

“The turning point of this battle has appeared.”

Countless people buzzed with discussion.

Although many people felt that Xue Lie’s sneak attack was a very despicable move; however, the world was often cruel. With victory on the line, the end mattered more than the means.

In the end, the winner was crowned king, while the loser faded into obscurity; few would remember that Chen Fan’s downfall was a result of a sneak attack. Instead, the final outcome—his defeat—would remain in memory.

Still, had Chen Fan really lost?

Rip!

Suddenly, a pair of large golden hands reached out from the rolling storm of destruction and tore violently, ripping a crack open in the destructive storm. Next, a golden figure emerged from within.

The crowd’s eyes widened instantly, and they exclaimed, “Look, Chen Fan isn’t dead!”

Chen Fan appeared in midair.

He looked battered. Bruised and battered, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, while his clothes hung in tatters. Cuts and wounds crisscrossed his body; his back, in particular, was a ruined mess of flesh.

His Hegemonic Golden Body was already at level 53; his physique was so tough that it was comparable to a mid-grade immortal artifact. Still, his back was a bloody mess, proof of his severe injuries.

Naturally, Xue Lie was responsible for his back injury. He had lurked silently in the void and activated the Void Shuttle and slammed into Chen Fan’s back. The Void Shuttle was a top-tier mid-grade immortal artifact. One could imagine how terrifying the impact was.

If not for Chen Fan’s nearly indestructible physique, hardened even further by the baptism of Sacred Radiance, the blow might have reduced him to nothing but fragments. Still, Chen Fan had suffered extremely heavy injuries from the impact.

Physical wounds didn’t mean much to Chen Fan. Given his freakish recovery speed, he would recover from them very quickly. What was crucial was the internal injuries he had sustained.

The terrifyingly immense force rushed into him like an army, breaking many bones on his back. His organs also ruptured and were bleeding internally. His insides were currently in a mess.

In addition, Xuan Yang and the others had struck him with all their killing moves; simply surviving was a miracle.

Chen Fan’s strength, though unrivaled below the immortal realm, did not make him invincible.

Twelve ninth-stage half-immortals couldn’t kill him, but what about fifty, or even a hundred of them? There was a limit to a person’s strength.

“

Hoo, hoo, hoo

.” Chen Fan gasped heavily for air. Each inhalation brought a fresh wave of stabbing pain, a clear sign of grievous internal injuries.

If it had been anyone else, they would already have succumbed to Xuan Yang and the rest, perhaps even annihilated on the spot.

“Hahaha, Chen Fan, you didn’t expect this, did you?”

Xuan Yang looked at Chen Fan with a grim expression, smiling coldly.

Although they didn’t manage to kill Chen Fan, judging by his appearance, his injuries seemed severe.

They were confident they could take down a severely injured Chen Fan.

“Very well! Very well, you people!” Chen Fan slowly straightened up. His aura became berserk once more, making it seem like he wasn’t injured. His sharp gaze fell on Xue Lie, full of killing intent.

“Spatial power, huh? I underestimated you. But unfortunately, you’re still not enough to kill me. Even in death, you should be proud that you’ve inflicted such heavy injuries on me.”

“Stop bluffing, Chen Fan! You’re hurting; let’s see how much strength you’ve got left!” Wan Chengyao taunted, icy and direct.

“How much strength do I have left? More than enough to kill you.”

“

Hmph

, what arrogance!”

Xuan Yang and the others snorted coldly in disdain. Icy killing intent swept from them.

“Everyone, he’s severely wounded. This is our chance. Kill him and refine him into a human elixir. It’ll definitely be a great tonic!” Xie Qingjin said with a sinister look.

They’d convinced Wan Shouyi and the others that Chen Fan was now a living treasure, his body transformed by Sacred Radiance. If they turned him into an elixir, maybe they, too, would gain that blessing.

“Kill!”

Wan Shouyi, Ren Kuangsheng, and the others’ eyes flashed with excitement.

They finally saw a chance to kill Chen Fan.

Previously, Chen Fan had displayed horrifying strength, killing ninth-stage half-immortals as easily and effortlessly as slaughtering poultry. It left them in despair.

Fortunately, Xuan Yang and Xie Qingjin had made such arrangements, convincing Xue Lie to sneak attack at the critical moment. His successful ambush had created this opportunity for them.

They would surely seize this opportunity.

“Hahahaha, Chen Fan, face your death. Eat this, Swing of Judgment!”

Wielding his immortal saber, Wan Chengyao’s dazzling saber instantly swept across the sky as if it would shatter the world, slashing toward Chen Fan.

They absolutely couldn’t let this opportunity go, and didn’t waste any time talking nonsense with Chen Fan or giving him time to recover.

Chen Fan remained stoic. He was injured because he had been too careless.

Although Xue Lie’s spatial power was formidable, and he had borrowed the Void Shuttle’s power, if Chen Fan had remained vigilant throughout, given his powerful divine will, he could have definitely picked up on the faint spatial fluctuations and avoided the sneak attack.

However, his strength had grown explosively after the trip to the Brahma Ancient City, and he had slain six ninth-stage half-immortals in succession. Chen Fan had grown complacent; he saw no real threat among his remaining foes and made a fatal mistake.

He didn’t regret it, as it wouldn’t serve any purpose.

Suffering this loss was a lesson to him. It taught him that he must maintain his vigilance at all times, lest he made the same mistake in the future.
