Chapter 743 - Spring Autumn Sect in Desperate Straits

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

His eyes were filled with disdain, completely ignoring the seventh-level Heavenly Star realm expert.

His contemptuous attitude sent Yuan Hengying flying into a rage. He shouted angrily, “Little bastard, you’re courting death. What you’re doing is courting death!”

Immediately, an even more terrifying aura erupted and swept out, carrying icy killing intent as Yuan Hengying mercilessly sent a palm strike blasting toward Chen Fan.

Kree!

The cry of a hawk echoed as Yuan Hengying's strike transformed into a blood-colored hawk, its savage, berserk aura swiping ferociously at Chen Fan.

“Hawk King...”

Emperor Li’s expression changed drastically.

Yuan Hengying’s expression was ice-cold, overflowing with killing intent. He said coldly, “Li Xun, don’t blame me for not giving you face. This brat was too arrogant and too foolish to refuse a lifeline."

“This...”

Emperor Li tried to intervene, but Li Yao stopped him with a voice transmission. “No need to worry, Imperial Father. Just watch, it’ll be fine.”

“

Hmm

?” Emperor Li was surprised by Li Yao’s calm confidence.

No matter how he looked at it, Chen Fan was at an absolute disadvantage. Although he was strong, he was nowhere near strong enough to take on Yuan Hengying. Why was Li Yao so certain?

“Yao’er, he is...”

“Imperial Father, he is Chen Fan!”

“Chen Fan!” Emperor Li’s shock was immediate.

Chen Fan’s name had already spread throughout the eastern continent, and even the remote Hong Domain had heard of him. As its ruler, Emperor Li was no exception.

“Little Bastard, today I’ll teach you a lesson on the True Martial Academy’s behalf and show you the vastness of heaven and earth. This will save you from bringing shame to the academy in the future!"

Yuan Hengying swooped down like a hawk, his aura ferocious.

Wanderer White Brow and the others did not try to stop him, as they also felt dissatisfied. Chen Fan’s arrogance warranted a lesson to prevent him from defying orders and causing trouble because of his status as a True Martial Academy disciple.

“Teach me a lesson? You?” Chen Fan smiled coldly, a sharp glint in his eyes. He stepped forward, raised his arm, and reached for Yuan Hengying.

Crack, crack!

The air crackled as the blood-colored hawk shattered in Chen Fan's grasp.

“Get lost!” He unleashed a light palm strike, causing the entire space to tremble, and dust from the beams above rained down.

Boom, tch!

Yuan Hengying had no power to resist Chen Fan’s strike. He flew back like a ragged burlap sack, spewing blood, and crashed to the floor, unable to get back up on his feet. His face was filled with horror.

“

Hmph

, who else is still unconvinced? Step forward!” Chen Fan stood there, his voice resounding in all directions.

Everyone was petrified.

Unbelievably, Yuan Hengying had been defeated instantly.

Not even Wanderer White Brow—an eighth-level Heavenly Star realm expert—could do that. Yet this kid had done so effortlessly.

Everyone felt a deep sense of shock.

Chen Fan defeated Yuan Hengying easily and instantly. If he had the intention to kill, Yuan Hengying would have died tragically on the spot.

Suddenly, applause erupted from Emperor Li. He approached with a broad smile and said, “As expected of Chen Fan, the man whose name shook the eastern continent. Indeed, heroes come from the youth.”

Clap, clap, clap...

“Chen Fan? What! THAT Chen Fan? From the Peerless Peak?” Wanderer White Brow, despite living deep in the mountains, was startled by Emperor Li’s words.

When it came to the most famous figure of the younger generation in the eastern continent, it was undoubtedly Chen Fan.

Still lying on the ground, Yuan Hengying was equally shocked. A bitter smile spread across his face. Losing to the Peerless Peak’s Chen Fan was hardly shameful.

Chen Fan's exploits had long spread across the eastern continent.

A seventh-level Heavenly Star realm martial artist like him acted presumptuously in front of Chen Fan. He couldn’t blame anyone for being taught a lesson.

Chen Fan could already kill sixth-level Heavenly Star realm demons when he was at the second-level Heavenly Star realm. Now that Chen Fan was at the fifth level, Yuan Hengying’s measly cultivation was simply not enough.

Emperor Li smiled and said, “With Chen Fan with us, those blood demons can’t stir any huge waves.”

Wanderer White Brow and the others also nodded.

Despite their centuries of experience, the world valued strength over longevity.

Even Wanderer White Brow would readily admit to not being a match for Chen Fan.

Now that Chen Fan had returned to the Hong Domain, it was as Emperor Li said—the blood demons posed no threat.

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

“Alright, I returned to completely get rid of the remnants of the Blood Demon Cave. You people go find the Blood Demon Cave’s nest, while I head to the Great Chu Empire. Once you find it, we’ll storm their hideout and wipe them out in one fell swoop!” Chen Fan declared before departing.

The Great Chu Empire:

As the blood calamity erupted, the entire Hong Domain was in a state of devastation. No nation escaped unscathed.

With the awakening of the old timers of the Blood Demon Cave, the demonic beings were planning on overthrowing the Hong Domain and establishing it as their base

Though the Great Chu Empire had not completely fallen, it had lost more than half its territory.

The Great Chu Empire had a middle-lower ranking among the thirty-six nations in terms of strength. Even the strongest blood demons invading the Great Chu Empire were only at the fifth-level Divine Nascent realm.

Currently, under the lead of a fifth-level Divine Nascent realm blood demon, the army was sweeping through the Great Chu Empire with unstoppable momentum. Even the royal family had fallen completely, becoming mere lackeys of the blood demons.

Many sects within the Great Chu Empire suffered a similar fate, with over half of them annihilated. In the Qingyang Mountain Range, the blood demon army had surrounded the city, tightening its grip.

The four great sects of the Qingyang Mountain Range had joined forces and formed a defensive front. However, the blood calamity proved far more devastating than the last.

The blood demon army had breached three of the great sects, transforming them into a purgatory of despair and erasing them from history.

Only the Spring Autumn Sect remained, fighting to the bitter end, yet they were rapidly approaching their crisis.

Fear and despair spread within the Spring Autumn Sect.

The blood demon army had them with three layers of siege, leaving no escape route.

A year ago, Wei Buyu had broken through to the Divine Nascent realm with the help of the Paramita Divine Flower, and the Spring Autumn Sect’s overall strength had risen greatly.

With three Divine Nascent realm powerhouses overseeing them, the sect ranked among the top ten in the Great Chu Empire.

However, facing the relentless assault of the blood demon army, even three Divine Nascent realm powerhouses were insufficient.

The Spring Autumn Sect now stood on the precipice of life and death.
