Chapter 742 - Come, No Need To Be Polite

“Oh? Is that true?”

A fierce glint shone in the black-robed man’s sharp, hawk-like eyes.

Emperor Li nodded and said, “Absolutely true. Every disciple of the True Martial Academy is a peerless genius. With their help, we won’t have to fear the Blood Demon Cave’s remnants anymore.”

Wanderer White Brow, the white-browed elder, was the strongest one here, being an eighth-level Heavenly Star realm expert. His presence alone had prevented the Hong Domain from falling to the blood demons long ago.

He said, “Then do you know the cultivation levels of the ones coming to aid us? Xue Huang, one of the Blood Demon Cave’s three former guardians, is at the ninth-level Heavenly Star realm.”

“Yao’er didn’t mention specifics, but I doubt they are weak,” Emperor Li replied.

“In that case, we can only wait.”

The throne room remained heavy with gloom.

Although the Hong Domain was several domains away from the academy, Chen Fan and the others could cover over ten kilometers in an instant. It took them only a week to reach the Hong Domain’s territory.

A scene of devastation entered their eyes.

At the border city, Chen Fan and the others only saw smoke and dried corpses everywhere. The victims' deaths were more gruesome than anything Chen Fan had witnessed during his earlier hunts for the blood bandits in the northwestern lands.

A dense death qi enveloped the entire border city. There wasn’t a single living person around.

“Damn it! These bastards all deserve to die!”

Xiao Zhen and the others were enraged, and their auras erupted uncontrollably.

“There are blood demon remnants inside!” Li Yao's sharp gaze pierced the fog, spotting a squad hiding in the city's depths.

“Then what are we waiting for? Slaughter these bastards!”

Xiao Zhen wasted no time, turning into a blur as he tore through the death qi. Angry shouts echoed before he returned, bloodstained from the battle.

With a gloomy expression, he said, “I got some intel. A large group of blood demons are making their way toward the Blue Moon Empire, led by a Heavenly Star realm blood demon expert.”

The Blue Moon Empire, a first-rate nation in the Hong Domain, boasted strong forces, including ninth-level Divine Nascent experts. But against a Heavenly Star realm blood demon, they stood no chance.

“Let’s go. To the Blue Moon Empire!” Chen Fan decided, and the group immediately kicked off the ground.

A first-level Heavenly Star realm blood demon was truly like livestock to Chen Fan now.

By the time the blood demon army reached the Blue Moon Empire, Chen Fan had already caught up. Wasting no time, he unleashed a killing spree. Chen Fan dealt with the Heavenly Star realm blood demon with a single flick of his finger, its mind and soul crushed in an instant.

In just an incense stick’s worth of time, Chen Fan had massacred thousands of blood demons. The ground ran red with rivers of blood.

Meanwhile, the Blue Moon Empire, who had braced themselves for a desperate battle, stood frozen in shock, watching the one-sided massacre outside their city gates. There was no fight left for them.

Chen Fan and the others did not waste any time at the Blue Moon Empire. After eradicating this blood demon army, they flew across the Blue Moon Empire, heading toward the Great Li Imperial Court.

The throne room:

“Reporting!”

An armored officer rushed in, half-kneeling as he delivered the grim news. “News has come from the frontline. The Iron Wave Empire is overthrown!”

Emperor Li, Wanderer White Brow, and the others’ eyes sank.

Another empire lost to the blood demons. The fate of its people was unimaginable.

Suddenly, wind-breaking noises rang out.

Swish, swish, swish!

A group landed outside the throne room and walked in directly.

Emperor Li was just about to berate these people, but when he saw who had just entered, his face immediately lit up in joy.

“Yao’er!”

“Imperial Father,” Li Yao greeted him. “They are my fellow disciples from my academy. They all hail from the Hong Domain, and have come back to help quell the ongoing blood calamity in the Hong Domain.”

Before anyone could react, a cold, thunderous snort broke through the room.

“

Hmph

!”

Hawk King said coldly, “Li Xun, you said your son has invited experts from the True Martial Academy. They are the ones?”

Not only Hawk King, but Wanderer White Brow and the others also turned cold when they saw through Chen Fan, Xiao Zhen, and the rest's cultivation levels.

They had expected Li Yao to bring experts from the True Martial Academy, but instead, this group of trash returned.

The strongest among them, Chen Fan, was only in the fifth-level Heavenly Star realm.

While that wasn’t bad, it only placed him around the middle ranks, offering little help in resolving the Hong Domain’s current predicament.

Emperor Li noticed this as well and felt somewhat embarrassed.

“This...” He was also at a loss for words.

“What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us?” Xiao Zhen glared at Hawk King.

Hawk King said with disdain, “Yes, I am. A ninth-level Divine Nascent brat dares to act insolently in front of me, a seventh-level Heavenly Star expert? If you weren’t True Martial Academy disciples, I would’ve crushed you on the spot for that attitude."

Chen Fan interrupted with a mocking tone, “Hoho, how arrogant of someone who's only at the seventh-level Heavenly Star realm."

“Brat, what did you say!”

Hawk King stared at Chen Fan with his sharp gaze. A terrifying aura erupted from him that enveloped Chen Fan. An iciness flickered in his eyes.

“What, are you deaf and need me to repeat myself? Need me to repeat it? I’ve killed countless trash like you. I wonder where you found the nerve to act so boldly in front of me,” Chen Fan said coldly.

Hawk King laughed from extreme anger. A cold whirlwind swept out. The air in the throne room instantly froze.

“Good, good, good!

“Brat, did you think you could throw a tantrum in front of me, Yuan Hengying, just because you’re a disciple of the True Martial Academy? Fine, I’ll teach you a lesson today and let you know that this world is reigned by strength!”

As Yuan Hengying prepared to strike Chen Fan, ready to teach him a harsh lesson and show him the vastness of heaven and earth, Emperor Li’s expression changed.

“Hold on, Hawk King!” Emperor Li’s expression changed at the sight and said, “Everyone knows that the disciples of the True Martial Academy are dragons and phoenixes among men, prides of heaven. It's natural for them to be a bit uninhibited. There’s no need for you to lower yourself. Moreover, the Hong Domain is currently facing a huge crisis. We need to unite against the blood demons. This little brother's cultivation is not bad, and we can’t afford to argue among ourselves now."

Yuan Hengying responded coldly, "If you want me to stop, this brat needs to apologize and compensate me for his insult. Otherwise, I won’t hold back."

Chen Fan hooked his finger and said, “Come, no need to be polite.”
