Chapter 1628 - Exposed

In mere moments, the incredibly arrogant Giant Spirit Hand lay sprawled on the ground, no different from a dying mutt. His chest caved in, breath coming in broken wheezes.

The battlefield fell deathly silent.

Ye Xun was the first to react. His face twisted as he screamed in disbelief.

“What?”

On the other side, Ling Fei was also dumbfounded.

“This...”

He knew that Chen Fan was strong, but he did not think he was terrifying.

However, Ling Fei immediately came back to his senses, laughed out loud, and said, “Hahahaha, good, good, good. Wonderful!”

Ye Xun’s side had three eighth-level Immortal Platform realm great experts, and several more at the sixth and seventh levels.

Suffice to say, Ling Fei’s group was no match for such a lineup. However, with a single strike, Chen Fan had astounded them and struck fear in everyone’s hearts.

After all, he had defeated an eighth-level Immortal Platform expert instantly. Hope ignited in Ling Fei’s heart.

“Brothers, kill! Show them no mercy!”

Ling Fei’s aura surged. Escape was no longer needed.

“

Ao, ao

, kill them!”

“Slaughter these sinful beasts!”

The Featherlight Sect disciples surged forward, blood boiling.

Swish!

Chen Fan charged toward Ye Xun. He sensed a tremendous oppressive aura sweeping toward him, snapping him back to his senses. Cold fury flashed in his eyes. Losing Fang Tong so early in the fight was never something he had expected.

“Don’t get cocky, brat. Go to hell!” Ye Xun shouted. A powerful aura that was a notch above Giant Fang Tong’s swept out from him.

That, however, made no difference to Chen Fan. With his cultivation now at the sixth level, only someone at the ninth level could put up a fight before him.

“Betraying the sect, killing fellow disciples. Your sins are unforgivable. I’ll send you on your way now!”

Chen Fan struck out violently with a large hand, shattering all of Ye Xun’s attacks. His pores spewed out endless sword qi, causing the space around him to boil over as it turned into a river of sword qi and slashed at Ye Xun.

Puchi!

Blood spurted wildly as Ye Xun was struck and sent flying backward.

“How is this possible? How could you be this strong!” Ye Xun roared in disbelief.

On the other side, the Withered Mountain Elder, battling Ling Fei, was horrified when he saw Ye Xun’s sorry state. His will to fight collapsed. Escape was his only thought. However, Ling Fei sensed it instantly and latched onto him like iron chains, refusing to let go.

“Nothing is impossible. You’re just too weak.” Chen Fan’s indifferent voice echoed as he strode forward, arriving in front of Ye Xun.

“Damned brat. You forced my hand,” he snarled. “Demon Transformation!”

Ye Xun’s face twisted hideously in an instant as overwhelming demonic qi gushed out of him, turning him into a demon. His aura surged to the peak of the eighth-level Immortal Platform realm.

“So you’ve defected to the demon race. You deserve death even more now!” Understanding dawned on Chen Fan. That was why the former Featherlight Sect prodigy had ended up in the Heavenly Prison.

“Royal Path Divine Fist!”

𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Chen Fan’s fists turned into a blur, executing his strongest technique—Royal Path Divine Fist. Every punch slammed into Ye Xun, suppressing his arrogance.

“Go to hell, Heaven Interception Finger!” A vast amount of law power inside Chen Fan erupted in an instant as he let out a fierce shout. A single finger shot forward.

Puchi!

The finger pierced through Ye Xun, making him instantly freeze. The demonic qi dissipated instantly. Ye Xun reverted to his original form.

“How could this...”

Indignation and regret flashed across Ye Xun’s face before he plummeted powerlessly.

“Old fart, it’s your turn now!”

After killing Ye Xun, Chen Fan rushed toward the Withered Mountain Elder.

Ling Fei was slightly weaker than the Withered Mountain Elder. Ling Fei was already drenched in blood. He had reached his limit.

The elder saw Chen Fan approaching and panicked completely.

“Ah, no, I surrender, don’t kill me.”

Unfortunately, Chen Fan completely ignored him and unleashed a slash, sending his head flying.

“

Ahhh

, run!”

The other criminals were scared out of their minds and scattered in all directions when they saw Chen Fan slaughtering the three strongest among them like he was slaughtering poultry.

“Thinking of leaving? You will stay here forever!” Chen Fan smiled coldly. Waving his palm, streaks of sword qi swept out; before long, all the criminals who were lying in ambush were slain. None of them escaped.

Not only that, all their wealth fell into Chen Fan and the others’ hands, exciting them greatly.

They had escaped certain death; they had gained a fortune.

Ling Fei approached and cupped his fist sincerely and said, “Chen Fan, it’s all thanks to you this time. If not for you, I’m afraid we’d all be wiped out here.”

Without Chen Fan, none of them would have survived.

“Not at all. It’s simply what I ought to do.” Chen Fan smiled. He was happy to make friends with someone like Ling Fei.

They returned to the city with the heads of the criminals. The display struck fear into the city’s underworld and silenced countless hidden schemers.

About half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, Ling Fei sought Chen Fan out, his expression heavy.

“Chen Fan, did you offend the Golden Jade Pavilion?”

“Golden Jade Pavilion?” Chen Fan frowned slightly. He quickly recalled and nodded. “How did you know?”

“Because I just received word that they are asking around about you.” Ling Fei asked, “They even reached our city. What happened here has already spread. What kind of grudge is it?”

“They wanted my Nine-Transformations Grand Mystic Golden Elixir,” Chen Fan replied. “I refused.”

“What? Nine-Transformations Grand Mystic Golden Elixir? No wonder.”

“Don’t worry, those losers can’t overpower me. No matter if it’s the Golden Jade Pavilion, the Hua Alliance, or the Demon Suppression lineage, if they dare come for me, we’ll see whether their teeth are strong enough to bite.”

“

Haaa

, they’re getting bolder by the day. Using authority for private gain. Now they’re even extending their hands into the Heavenly Prison.” Ling Fei sighed and said, “You must leave immediately. Do not let them find you. The Golden Jade Pavilion controls not only disciples, but criminals too. That’s how your information leaked.”

Chen Fan furrowed his brow, not expecting the Golden Jade Pavilion’s sphere of influence to be this wide. Even the criminals were acting as the Golden Jade Pavilion’s claws and teeth.

Just as he was about to leave, an old voice echoed in the sky.

“Chen Fan, show yourself!”
