Chapter 497 - Saved by the Sect Leader

The blinding light and storm produced by their terrifying, earth-shaking collision covered the entire central battlefield. The crowd couldn’t see the situation inside, so they could only wait in silence.

However, everyone knew that the huge battle between Chen Fan and Duan Jingtian would most likely conclude after this collision.

Would Duan Jingtian continue to reign supreme, or would the rising force that was Chen Fan replace him, bringing an end to his era?

Boom, boom, boom...

The rolling storm continued to rage, spreading outwards.

The rumbling noise, like constant thunder, echoed non-stop, as if booming right next to the crowd’s ears.

Swoosh!

Amidst the endless explosions, an extremely sharp noise suddenly rang out.

Next, the crowd saw a figure shoot into the sky.

Rumble!

Following a ground-shaking wave, the crowd saw Duan Jingtian nailed to the ground on the devastated battlefield by the iron spear. Shock washed over them.

An explosion rang in everyone’s minds. Their thoughts went blank as if their souls had blown up.

“This...”

Everyone was in shock.

They saw Duan Jingtian nailed to the ground like a dead dog. The impact of this sight made their worldview crumble.

That rang especially true for the members of Heaven’s Alliance. Every one of them instantly aged by twenty to thirty years, as if all their strength had been drained. They trembled all over, like eggplants damaged by frost, shaking with fear.

The outcome of the battle was clear.

As the storm gradually calmed and the dazzling light slowly faded, a faint figure emerged from the chaos.

It was Chen Fan.

He tightly held the Purgatory Divine Halberd with one hand, its tip piercing him.

Chen Fan had nailed Duan Jingtian to the ground with his spear, while Duan Jingtian pierced him with the halberd.

The crowd stared fixedly at Chen Fan, unsure of his condition.

Although Chen Fan remained standing in the air, he was unmoving, leaving everyone uncertain about his status.

Suddenly, Chen Fan moved.

He pulled out the Purgatory Divine Halberd in one go. Fresh blood spattered, but he paid no mind to it as he gazed downwards coldly.

In the end, he emerged victorious in this battle.

Witnessing this scene, everyone present erupted into a commotion.

The entire Spring Autumn Sect went crazy, the murmurs of discussions reaching the clouds.

“The battle is decided! Duan Jingtian... has lost!”

“How truly unexpected. The winner turned out to be Chen Fan.”

“The new generation replaces the old. The new wave of the sea pushes the tide forward. Chen Fan, what a monster!”

“What a pity. Duan Jingtian, a genius of a generation, is about to become history. Having lost, he’s destined to die here!”

“......”

Having reigned over the Spring Autumn Sect for over a decade, Duan Jingtian’s legend would finally end today. The person who brought about his demise was none other than Chen Fan, whom Duan Jingtian had ruthlessly humiliated three years ago.

Back then, Chen Fan swore to the heavens that he would fight Duan Jingtian to the death in three years to wash his shame away. None had taken Chen Fan seriously. Everyone thought he was delusional, overestimating his abilities, and seeking attention.

However, in less than three years, Chen Fan proved them all wrong. He ruthlessly demonstrated his strength by nailing the almighty Duan Jingtian to the pillar of shame, washing away his past humiliation.

The tide changed with time; one should never bully the young.

Chen Fan fulfilled the oath he made with his actions.

“He lost. How could the Alliance Leader lose? How could he lose?”

Some of the Heaven’s Alliance members couldn’t accept the truth. Their dedication to the martial path crumbled, causing them to spew fresh blood and experience qi deviation. Some even burst into flames and turned to ashes.

“I don’t believe this. I don’t believe this! It’s fake, none of this is real!”

Some people went crazy and ran out.

“

Boohoo, boohoo

, how could he lose? The Alliance Leader is a god. A god among us mortals! A god would never lose!”

Even more Heaven’s Alliance members covered their faces and wept.

Chen Fan had crushed their spiritual leader with his spear. Their minds completely crumbled.

Countless gazes fell onto the members of Heaven’s Alliance. Some gloated at their misfortune, while some couldn’t bear to look at them.

“He lost. How could he lose?”

Merit Elder, Elder Liehuo, and the others felt their mouths turning dry. Their eyes were unfocused, mumbling under their breaths, dispirited.

Duan Jingtian’s defeat was a devastating blow to them. What would they do when Chen Fan came to settle scores?

On the other hand, Wei Buyu and the others let out a long sigh of relief, showing a trace of joy on their faces.

“

Phew

, he won.”

This huge battle was full of ups and downs.

Chen Fan and Duan Jingtian displayed the full extent of their capabilities, using all their trump cards and going all out. The fight was incredibly shocking and tragic.

In the end, Chen Fan’s skills proved superior, defeating the insufferably arrogant Duan Jingtian.

......

“Duan Jingtian, what do you have to say now? When you oppressed me three years ago, did you ever think a day like this would come? Nailed to the ground by my spear like a dead dog?” Chen Fan’s cold voice rang out.

Although Duan Jingtian was pinned to the ground, he was not dead yet.

“I am Duan Jingtian. How could I lose?”

He was Duan Jingtian, a self-proclaimed god in the world. He believed the entire Spring Autumn Sect should submit to him. But now, all his glory was lost. All his capabilities were suppressed by Chen Fan.

Raging flames burned in his heart, futile against his defeat.

“Duan Jingtian, not only will you lose, but you will also die, and it will be by my hands. Alright, I won’t bother wasting my breath on you any longer. I’ll send you on your way now!”

As his voice fell, Chen Fan swooped down, wielding the Purgatory Divine Halberd in hand, stabbing toward Duan Jingtian.

Rumble!

Just as Duan Jingtian was about to perish, an enormous palm emerged from the void, bearing the aura of a Divine Nascent realm. It seized the Purgatory Divine Halberd thrust by Chen Fan.

“Sect Leader!”

Chen Fan didn’t need to look to recognize the owner of the enormous palm—it belonged to Feng Baiyu, the Spring Autumn Sect’s sect leader. With Duan Jingtian on the brink of death, the sect leader finally intervened.

The entire space was frozen at his intervention. Despite Chen Fan’s incredible strength, he was still like an ant in front of a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse.

A Divine Nascent realm powerhouse could easily channel the primeval qi of heaven and earth and turn them into a means of attack.

He mobilized the primeval qi of heaven and earth in the area, forming a prison to confine Chen Fan. The latter was unable to break through it at all.

“Break!”

Even so, it went without saying that Chen Fan felt very indignant about it. Immense anger surged in his heart.

Suddenly, he made the small golden person hiding in the depths of his glabella move, erupting with supreme pressure, breaking free from Feng Baiyu’s confining method at once.

“No one can save someone that I, Chen Fan, want to kill!”

Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he swooped down once more. He thrust toward Duan Jingtian with an earth-shaking icy killing intent in his attack.
