Chapter 1580 - Nobody

After retreating, the seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert suddenly realized that Chen Fan’s gaze had cowed him; his expression turned extremely unsightly.

“You!”

He was a seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert, for goodness’ sake, yet a brat had made him retreat with a simple gaze.

What humiliation!

Utter humiliation!

Worse still, it had happened in front of an audience, including Shark Crown Prince. This was no longer just his own embarrassment; he had also thrown away the crown prince’s face as well.

Cold sweat poured down his back. As expected, an icy voice entered this person’s ears. He could clearly sense the Shark Crown Prince’s displeasure toward him.

“Useless!”

He was the Shark Crown Prince’s subordinate. If he lost the crown prince’s trust over this, his future days would become unbearably difficult. He had to redeem himself somehow and restore the crown prince’s impression of him.

This deep-sea giant shark expert’s eyes darted about as his mind raced, and he immediately said, “Crown Prince, there’s no need for you to step in. I am enough to take him down.”

He had to capture Chen Fan personally to regain his standing in Shark Crown Prince’s heart.

“

Hmph

, I hope you won’t disappoint me!” Shark Crown Prince said indifferently.

He had brought his men down to the fifth level to eliminate Chen Fan once and for all. He couldn’t allow this human any more chances to slip away.

To him, taking down Chen Fan was but a trivial matter. However, he was the crown prince and a seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert. It would be beneath him to personally lift a hand.

“I will absolutely not disappoint you, Crown Prince!” answered the expert at once, and his gaze toward Chen Fan became vicious and cruel.

If not for Chen Fan, Shark Crown Prince would never have been displeased with him.

No matter how he sliced it, everything seemed Chen Fan’s fault. He made up his mind. He would teach Chen Fan a tough lesson.

“Little bastard, offending the Crown Prince is the biggest mistake of your life. I’ll capture you and make you kneel down in front of our prince to beg for forgiveness!”

Before his voice fell, the seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert struck, grabbing at the air, aiming to capture Chen Fan.

“Kneel!”

Rumble!

The space exploded. From the first move, he unleashed astonishing power; his strength was no weaker than that of the two demon generals. Unfortunately, even two demon generals together couldn’t kill Chen Fan, let alone this guy.

“Ignorant fool!”

Facing the attack, Chen Fan only felt contempt. He raised his hand and also grabbed at the air, instantly destroying the attack cleanly, leaving no trace behind.

“Shark Crown Prince, I advise you to step in yourself. Trash of this level, I can crush to death with a single hand,” Chen Fan said indifferently, disregarding the seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert before his eyes, as if he were an ant.

“What arrogance!”

Seeing Chen Fan look down on him in such a way, even calling him trash and an ant, the deep-sea giant shark expert, Yi Rui, suffered a heavy blow to his pride and could no longer hold himself back.

“You audacious, arrogant scoundrel, the prince doesn’t need to step in personally to kill you. You think too highly of yourself.” Yi Rui’s lungs nearly exploded from anger. His mind and soul flew into a rage, “Little bastard, even if your capabilities reach the heavens, you can forget about living through today.”

In an instant, Yi Rui’s overwhelming law power swept out majestically and boundlessly.

He strode forward at incredible speed, his figure flickering as if he had teleported, and a water spear appeared in his grasp. Endless water qi condensed into it, shining with dazzling brilliance as he swept it down toward Chen Fan’s face.

Chen Fan smiled coldly. He raised his hand and threw out a punch. A star crushed the void and shattered the ages, easily destroying Yi Rui’s attack.

“What, you’re not happy that I called you trash?” Chen Fan sneered. Stepping forward, he arrived in front of Yi Rui in a flash. His hand, which seemed like it was cast from gold, reached out for Yi Rui’s neck.

“You’re courting death!” Yi Rui flew into a rage seeing Chen Fan’s action. This was simply the biggest humiliation for him.

He immediately drove his water spear forward in a vicious thrust, aiming to destroy Chen Fan’s hand completely.

Rumble!

A loud rumble rang out as Chen Fan’s palm collided with Yi Rui’s water spear.

Terrifying fluctuations swept out rapidly, forming an unimaginable storm of light that expanded in all directions.

After the fierce collision, golden light radiated from Chen Fan’s palm as he struck the water spear violently, easily shattering it and turning it into water qi that filled the sky.

“A newbie seventh-level Immortal Platform realm expert dares to put on airs before me? Where did you get your courage from? That little shark over there?”

Chen Fan’s hand clamped forward like a golden iron vice, tearing apart everything in its path as it grabbed toward Yi Rui’s neck.

Yi Rui turned pale with fright. He never imagined Chen Fan would be this powerful, shattering his artifact with his bare hands. He immediately tried to retreat.

“Thinking of running away? How laughable!” Chen Fan’s icy voice caused Yi Rui’s hair to stand on end.

He straightened his hand like a blade and chopped toward Yi Rui, unleashing a terrifying saber light, aiming to split him in half.

Yi Rui frantically backed away several steps, barely dodging the fatal saber qi.

“Shark Crown Prince, are you still not stepping in? If you still don’t take action, this useless subordinate of yours will really meet his end,” Chen Fan said with a faint smile.

Even as his voice trailed off, Chen Fan’s movements did not slow in the slightest. In a single stride, he crossed the remaining distance and appeared right in front of Yi Rui.

He moved astonishingly fast. Just as Yi Rui thought he had escaped danger, Chen Fan had already arrived before him, his hand blade slashing down at him.

Saber qi howled across the heavens and earth, ready to completely wipe Yi Rui out.

Clang!

A water spear tore through the air and left a long trail behind, rushing straight toward Chen Fan’s face.

Chen Fan had no choice but to block it.

Clang!

The saber qi shattered the water spear and finally halted its momentum. Turning to look to the other side, the Shark Crown Prince had stepped in.

At the most critical moment, the Shark Crown Prince had intervened.

Yi Rui was, after all, his subordinate and one of the rare seventh-level Immortal Platform realm experts under him; if he did nothing and let Yi Rui die, the others would inevitably grow disheartened.

“What, you’re stepping in now? Come on, then. Are you fighting alone, or do you want to come at me together with your men?” A subtle, nearly imperceptible smile curved the corner of Chen Fan’s lips, as though he were mocking Shark Crown Prince.

“Ridiculous. If I want to kill you, do I still need someone else’s help?” Shark Crown Prince sneered, “Who do you think you are, to compare yourself to me? I’m the crown prince of the deep-sea giant shark tribe, destined to rule over the sea region in the future, while you’re just a nobody who’s had a few fortuitous encounters. No matter how many lucky encounters you have, you can’t possibly win against me. This is something fated by the heavens.”

“Nobody, is it? Perhaps.” Chen Fan smiled slightly.

He had witnessed this kind of scene far too many times: those so-called lofty geniuses, lording their status over others and looking down on them.

“But maybe you don’t understand what it means for a nobody to rise. A so-called pride of heaven and crown prince like you merely had the good fortune to be born into a better family, yet you flaunt it as if it were your own merit and despise everyone else. That is what’s truly pathetic and laughable.”
