Chapter 584 - Cutting Down Ye Cangxuan

“Kill!” Ye Cangxuan roared angrily. His voice was so powerful that the air boiled like water, and the stars in the sky seemed to tremble from the intensity of his roar.

The sheer force of his voice ruptured the eardrums of some of the onlookers.

Ye Cangxuan had to use that method to raise his aura, else he likely would not have survived the attack.

He unleashed an attack with everything he had. Despite having one arm severed, his attack remained incredibly fearsome. Chen Fan felt a menacing aura lock onto him immediately.

In a flash, Ye Cangxuan’s trident darted towards Chen Fan with a speed that outpaced its previous strikes, like a lightning bolt, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.

Ye Cangxuan had pushed his power to its limits.

He had already put life and death aside, focusing solely on killing Chen Fan.

He appeared almost reborn, towering and radiating an indescribable aura.

There seemed to be gods and devils wailing on his trident. As he thrust it forward, time seemed to freeze and everything around him withered.

A massive blinding divine light shot from his eyes, capable of melting even the largest mountains. Chen Fan stood in his place, momentarily stunned by Ye Cangxuan’s terrifying presence, seemingly forgetting to defend himself.

Pop, pop, pop!

Just as Ye Cangxuan’s attack was about to hit Chen Fan, an incomparably sharp light flared from Chen Fan’s eyes.

With a calm, almost casual movement, Chen Fan raised his arm and slashed at Ye Cangxuan.

Bang!

The trident was violently knocked away. Ye Cangxuan staggered backward, blood streaming from his mouth, struggling to stay upright as he trembled uncontrollably.

A wave of indescribable, terrifying force surged into him, wreaking havoc and filling his face with terror.

Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

He struck out with his left palm, making the surrounding air crumble under the immense pressure. The force was so overwhelming that it made countless people shiver in fear.

The force relentlessly pursued Ye Cangxuan, shattering his protective true primeval.

“You... Chen Fan, you...” Ye Cangxuan staggered left and right unsteadily as if he were drunk, staring fixedly at Chen Fan.

He began to crack open like shattered porcelain, blood gushing out as he disintegrated into countless fragments.

The energy from the attack still attacked those flesh chunks, blowing them up into powder. Ye Cangxuan, a top expert who dominated the Hong Domain, disintegrated completely in front of the crowd, leaving no corpse behind.

He died!

In an instant, heaven and earth seemed to have fallen silent. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

The spectators stared in shock at the spot where Ye Cangxuan had vanished, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Ye Cangxuan was the Black Dragon Empire’s number-one genius of the younger generation. He was a supreme genius on par with Li Yao and others, but he had been reduced to nothingness. The crowd was nonplussed, unable to comprehend the utter destruction of a figure who was supposed to have a brilliant future.

The crowd felt nothing but shock.

Many geniuses had died on the Hidden Dragon Island. However, how many of them were on Ye Cangxuan’s level? Only a handful were invincible experts who dominated the island.

To see him fall at the hands of Chen Fan, a four-revolution Golden Core martial artist, was shocking.

“He died...” muttered someone.

“Heavens, I’m not hallucinating, am I? Ye Cangxuan... died?

Gulp

!”

“He really died! He’s dead for real! With no corpse left behind! This is too terrifying! An eight-revolution Golden Core realm expert, someone who could stand against thousands and dominate the world, is actually... dead.”

“And it’s not just him—I fear Yin Jiu might also meet the same fate!”

In an instant, countless gazes shifted onto Yin Jiu, who was still nailed to the ground and struggling bitterly.

That’s right.

Ye Cangxuan and Yin Jiu had attacked Chen Fan together, setting up an inescapable net of heaven and earth for him to ensure his death. Even so, Chen Fan turned everything around with his terrifying strength.

Now that Ye Cangxuan is dead, could Yin Jiu still live?

They couldn’t defeat Chen Fan even after joining forces, let alone now when Yin Jiu was left alone and injured.

“This battle is over,” Li Yao said, shaking his head. “No one could have expected this. The Battle Heaven Alliance set up an inescapable trap to kill Chen Fan, but he broke free and turned the trap against them.”

He felt some pity toward Ye Cangxuan. Here was a genius, renowned and respected as his equal, meeting such an untimely end.

However, on the Hidden Dragon Island, even someone as powerful as the prince of the Great Li Imperial Court could meet a grim fate if they overreached.

He set up such a big scene when he wasn’t strong enough. Who could he blame for his death?

“With Ye Cangxuan dead, Yin Jiu won’t fare any better, pinned to the ground like that. What a pity. Two heavenly geniuses on par with us fell to Chen Fan, a four-revolution Golden Core. Hoho.” Xuanyuan Po chuckled lightly.

“Ah!”

Yin Jiu, nailed to the ground, finally pulled the Heaven Piercing Spear off of him. He turned around, wanting to look for Chen Fan. What he saw next would haunt him forever.

Ye Cangxuan had been obliterated, leaving no trace behind. The sheer terror of witnessing such a fate was overwhelming.

“What?” Yin Jiu watched this scene in disbelief, feeling as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, his soul trembling.

He had never imagined that their carefully set trap would lead to their own destruction.

Yin Jiu’s heart was deeply shaken.

Ye Cangxuan’s death had too great of an impact on him.

Only a single thought remained in his mind: flee. Escape from the Hidden Dragon Island. He didn’t want to die.

“Now, it’s your turn. Didn’t your Battle Heaven Alliance lay out this elaborate trap to kill me? Let’s see who can save you now.” Chen Fan looked at Yin Jiu with an icy gaze.

An icy dread surged from Yin Jiu’s feet to the top of his head. Chen Fan appeared to him as the grim reaper, looming to claim his life.

“Where are the Battle Heaven Alliance members?” Yin Jiu suddenly shouted, desperate to summon the remaining members to help him defeat Chen Fan.

In truth, he wasn’t just calling for reinforcements; he wanted them to distract Chen Fan so he could escape.

However, no one answered his call.

Although some of the Battle Heaven Alliance’s elites were still alive, none were willing to come to his aid. They weren’t eager to face certain death themselves.
