Chapter 1653 - Killed with Three Punches

Xue Dezu’s immortal will quickly locked onto Chen Fan, who was beside Wu Hongxiu.

“You! No use hiding! I’ve already found you, brat. Come out! Weren’t you very cocky back at the inn? Now that I’m standing in front of you, let me see that arrogance again.”

Tap.

Chen Fan stepped forward. Staring at Xue Dezu, he sighed and said, “

Haaa

, why force this? If you hadn’t shown up, you could’ve lived a little longer. But you chose to come here and die.”

“Still running your mouth?” Xue Dezu sneered. His pupils glowed crimson. “Good. Very good. I can smell it now. Your blood is special. Extremely so. This is interesting.”

Swish.

Chen Fan didn’t bother continuing the conversation. He rose straight into the sky. “Come up and fight.”

“Where do you think you’re running!” Xue Dezu shot a claw at Chen Fan at once, shattering the space.

“Run? I’m waiting for you.”

“

Hmph

, I’ll refine you into a blood puppet and make you serve me!”

Xue Dezu shot upward in pursuit, his speed terrifying.

“Hahahaha, perfect timing, eat my fist!” Chen Fan laughed out loud. Although he had killed quite a few mid-level Immortal Kings, they were all ordinary figures. None of them could even be mentioned in the same breath as Xue Dezu.

Xue Dezu was a peak mid-level Immortal King, only a step away from stepping into the top-level Immortal King realm.

Chen Fan clenched his fist. Terrifying vitality surged within, and endless power condensed into his knuckles. A punch flew out, blazing like a golden star as it smashed toward Xue Dezu.

“Petty tricks!” Xue Dezu sneered coldly. His aura surged to the sky as he unleashed a blood claw to block Chen Fan’s punch.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...

Their attacks collided nonstop in the air, gnawing away at each other. Explosions rippled outward in rapid succession, like endless thunder cracking across the heavens.

“I’ll kill you in three punches. Break for me!”

Chen Fan stepped forward. His aura suddenly boiled over as he exerted more power. In an instant, the stalemate was broken. The fist force shattered Xue Dezu’s blood claw and slammed into him.

“Not good!” Xue Dezu’s face twisted in shock. He hastily stacked defensive techniques in front of himself, but the punch still sent him flying violently through the air.

Chen Fan stepped forward once more, his aura surging even higher. Heaven and earth roared as countless laws flickered and danced around him, radiating waves of immortal light.

“Second punch!”

Another punch rushed forth, shattering the space.

Before Xue Dezu could steady himself, he immediately sensed the terror of Chen Fan’s punch, causing his scalp to tingle. He roared, “Blood God Domain!”

A vast crimson domain unfolded instantly. Any being trapped within it would be reduced to bones beneath the power of blood.

Crack, crack, crack!

Yet under Chen Fan’s fist, the Blood God Domain fractured almost immediately. Cracks spread wildly before the entire domain shattered apart.

“What?”

Xue Dezu’s scalp went numb. His domain had been destroyed; his eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

What kind of power was this?

He knew better than anyone the terrifying might of his Blood God Domain. Even someone at the same cultivation level would struggle to break it.

But Chen Fan’s punch didn’t slow down in the slightest.

Boom, tch!

The iron fist slammed into Xue Dezu’s chest, crushing it inward. Blood sprayed wildly, mixed with fragments of shattered organs.

Bang!

Chen Fan shook his head and stepped forward once more.

“So this is your limit,” he said calmly. “I promised three punches. This last one sends you off.”

Finally, Chen Fan executed the Royal Path Divine Fist.

A punch surged forward with absolute dominance.

Rumble!

Flames ignited around the fist as it ripped through the air like a blazing meteor.

“Impossible, you’re only an early-stage Immortal King. How could you possess such strength? Who exactly are you? How could you be this strong?” roared Xue Dezu in terror.

Only now did he realize it. He hadn’t kicked an iron plate—he had smashed headfirst into something far worse.

Chen Fan didn’t answer him. His fist rushed forth with unstoppable momentum, slamming onto Xue Dezu under his horrified gaze.

“No...”

Boom, tch!

As the Royal Path Divine Fist descended, Xue Dezu, a renowned top-tier figure within Chaos City, exploded in midair. Blood rained down as his body vanished completely, leaving behind only his Immortal King laws, glowing with golden light.

Swish.

With a wave of his arm, Chen Fan seized Xue Dezu’s Immortal King laws and immediately refined them.

“It’s over?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Xue Dezu, a notorious powerhouse of Chaos City, had been killed exactly as promised. Three punches. No more. No less.

The crowd erupted into stunned discussion.

“It’s a completely one-sided battle. Who exactly is he? How could he be this powerful?”

“Xue Dezu is a peak mid-level Immortal King but was killed in three punches. Tsk tsk, the Demon Flame Merchant Guild is completely done for.”

“How truly unexpected. The Sky Fire Merchant Guild actually turned the tables and recruited such a monster.”

Chen Fan withdrew his cultivation and returned to the Sky Fire Merchant Guild.

“Much thanks, Mister.”

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wu Hongxiu immediately knelt. The other members of the Sky Fire Merchant Guild followed suit.

For years, they had lived under relentless oppression, barely surviving. Now, with Xue Dezu dead, the threat from the Demon Flame Merchant Guild had vanished without a trace.

“Get up,” Chen Fan said indifferently. “I was hired. That’s all. Prepare a secluded chamber for me. I’ll cultivate. Inform me when it’s time to enter the Land of Chaos.”

“Alright, no problem.” Wu Hongxiu hurriedly agreed.

News of Xue Dezu’s death immediately swept through the entire Chaos City like a storm, stirring discussions among countless people.

The Sky Fire Merchant Guild rose overnight, standing tall once more. With such an expert overseeing them, who would dare touch their people, aside from the other nine great powers?

Meanwhile, the Demon Flame Merchant Guild was filled with unease, worried that Chen Fan would come knocking on their doors.

However, Chen Fan didn’t have to lift a finger. Without Xue Dezu, the Demon Flame Merchant Guild fell apart overnight like monkeys scattering when a tree fell. Their assets were all taken.

Chen Fan paid no heed to any of this.

Inside the secret chamber, he stared at the Purple-Gold Crystal Fruit resting in his palm, his eyes glinting with sharp light.
