Chapter 1556 - Fairy Crimson Lightning’s Hatred

“So... so fearsome!”

The crowd turned pale with fright when they saw Chen Fan slaughtering the Crimson Lightning Sect’s members like an invincible battle god. Nobody could believe their eyes; gulps and stifled gasps rippled through the onlookers.

“Is he even human? He’s like an invincible overlord!”

“But that immortal artifact of his is amazing. I wonder what grade it is. Could it be king-grade?”

“Someone with such a powerful immortal artifact can’t be simple. The Crimson Lightning Sect has really kicked on an iron plate this time.”

“I remember now. He’s that mysterious guy who offended Fairy Crimson Lightning at the Sunny Day Chamber of Commerce with his words, and he even ripped off a hundred thousand immortal stones from Shark Crown Prince during the auction.”

“If even Shark Crown Prince got ripped off by this guy, did Fairy Crimson Lightning really think he’d be afraid of her sect?”

All around, discussions buzzed; it was clear that Fairy Crimson Lightning had met her match.

“Fairy Crimson Lightning, there isn’t even a deep hatred between us, yet you’re so tyrannical. You want to kill me over a few words?

Hehehe

, did you think you could bully anyone you wanted? How dare you step over my head! Let me spell it out. Nobody who’s tried to kill me has met a good end. Today, you’ll learn why arrogance is dangerous!” Chen Fan smiled coldly, charging at her with the Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron in hand.

“Damned brat, you said yourself that arrogance leads to defeat. Aren’t you scared of suffering a nasty surprise, being so cocky?” Granny Hua shot back, and the trio braced themselves to withstand Chen Fan’s assault.

Chen Fan laughed, “That was me advising you. If you want to act high and mighty, you need actual strength and a real background to stand on. You have neither! You thought your sect’s name would make you untouchable tyrants? Well, now you’ll find out whose fist is bigger! Want to see me lose? Dream on!”

Boom!

With the cauldron in hand, Chen Fan’s attack came down like a falling mountain range; space itself cracked and burst. The shockwave sent the trio flying, their arms numb and their blood churning.

Fairy Crimson Lightning’s face turned green and white.

She recalled what happened back at the auction hall. Gongsun Ling’er offended her with a remark, and Gongsun Jing apologized on her behalf and offered compensation. However, she had rejected it, saying, “if apologies could solve everything, why would anyone use their fists?” Now, Chen Fan’s fists had become reality’s cruel slap to her face.

Poof, poof, poof!

The Eight Treasures Universe Cauldron crushed several third- and fourth-level Immortal Platform realm experts from the Crimson Lightning Sect into meat paste, their limbs strewn across the ground.

“Too brutal! This is a massacre!”

The corners of the eyes of the onlooking crowd nearby twitched violently at the sight.

Although deaths were common in the Chaotic Demon Sea, massacres were rare. After all, the strong had dignity and rarely attacked the weak for insignificant reasons.

“Young Miss, this bastard is too ferocious. You should leave quickly! Elder Wan and I will stall him!” Granny Hua sent a voice transmission to Fairy Crimson Lightning.

Reality was sinking in: Chen Fan was beyond their skill. If this kept up, they would all die here, scattered like ashes in the wind.

“No, Granny Hua, I can’t leave you all behind and escape alone!” Fairy Crimson Lightning immediately refused.

“Young Miss, your life means more than ours. You mustn’t die here! Run quickly! Find the Sect Leader, and let him avenge us!”

With a final word, Granny Hua and Elder Wan let their blood and flesh shrivel, burning every last trace of life force in a desperate gamble to buy Fairy Crimson Lightning a path out.

“Young Miss, quickly leave!” Elder Wan roared, charging toward Chen Fan fearlessly.

The two had ignited their own vitality, their power spiking to the peak of the sixth-level Immortal Platform realm. Both were hellbent on taking Chen Fan with them, no matter the cost.

“Granny Hua! Elder Wan!” Blood tears streaked her face as she watched them make the ultimate stand for her.

Although they were her Dao protectors and considered her servants, over the years, they had built a deep bond between them. Fairy Crimson Lightning knew this chance to flee was bought with their lives; she needed to seize it.

Spotting her chance, Chen Fan charged straight toward Fairy Crimson Lightning.

“Thinking of leaving? Have you asked me?!”

“Little beast, we’re your opponents!”

Elder Wan and Granny Hua lunged at him from either side. Their strengths had surged dramatically, exchanging their vitality for immense power in order to stop Chen Fan.

They now had enough strength to lock Chen Fan down, if only briefly.

Naturally, Chen Fan didn’t want to let Fairy Crimson Lightning escape. However, Granny Hua and Elder Wan were holding him back, and he couldn’t break away. He quickly decided to use the immortal fruit as an incentive to spur those nearby to act.

“I’ll give whoever stops Fairy Crimson Lightning a Phoenix Flame Immortal Fruit!”

Some people were tempted at once. A pair of twins in the fourth-level Immortal Platform realm swept out.

“Haha, don’t go back on your words!”

“Of course. Heaven and earth are my witnesses.”

“Alright!” The twins nodded with vicious expressions.

Wealth favors the bold, after all. Chen Fan only wanted her stopped, not killed, so the pair still had a chance at survival.

“Fairy Crimson Lightning, stay behind!”

“You’re courting death!”

Fairy Crimson Lightning was furious and slashed horizontally with her immortal sword.

She struck furiously with all her might, dismembering the twins on the spot, scaring the restless crowd into stopping in their tracks.

“Chen Fan, I’ll remember you! Our Crimson Lightning Sect will not rest until you’re dead! I won’t rest until you’re dead! Just you wait! I’ll definitely kill you! Definitely!”

Fairy Crimson Lightning shot a resentful glance at Chen Fan, her eyes flickering with an exceptionally venomous light.

Deep, irreconcilable hatred radiated from her gaze. Her hatred was so overwhelming that not even the waters of the four seas could wash it away.

“Hahahaha! Kill me? I’m right here, come and kill me!” Chen Fan laughed out loud.

Fairy Crimson Lightning didn’t fall for the taunt. She immediately executed the Crimson Lightning Escape Art and turned into a bolt of lightning, breaking through space and disappearing into the mountains.

“Ah! What a pity,” Chen Fan muttered, seeing her slip away. No matter; next time, he would finish what he started.

“Little bastard, let’s die together!”

Since Fairy Crimson Lightning was gone, Elder Wan and Granny Hua had no more worries and could fully fight with their lives on the line, launching a fierce assault against Chen Fan with reckless abandon.

“Die together? With the likes of you?” Chen Fan scoffed disdainfully, allowing the two to attack him relentlessly while he guarded himself tightly. He was content to let time—and their wasted vitality—finish them off. Once their final surge faded, there would be nothing left for him to do but sweep away the ashes.
