Chapter 754 - Earth Guardian

The superiority between Chen Fan and Xue Huang became clear from this single clash.

Pfft!

Xue Huang spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, shooting backward like a cannonball and tumbling mid-air. The impact had riddled the blood-colored layer of light surging around him.

Everyone present was completely astounded.

The blood demons’ expressions changed drastically, surprised to see Man Guardian Xue Huang fall into a disadvantage. They were shocked to their souls.

“Old fart.” Chen Fan raised his arm, pointing his Purgatory Divine Halberd at Xue Huang, and said, “I’ve killed many old fools like you. You’re not the first, nor will you be the last. Today, the Blood Demon Cave will be eradicated!”

His domineering voice shook the lands, leaving the blood demons’ minds shaken.

If Chen Fan succeeded in killing Xue Huang, their Blood Demon Cave might truly face annihilation.

Xue Huang steadied himself, staring at Chen Fan with a gloomy gaze, his eyes flickering. He also hadn’t expected Chen Fan to be this terrifyingly strong.

“You want to eradicate our Blood Demon Cave? You’re still not qualified!” Xue Huang said coldly.

“Whether I’m worthy is for me to decide, not you!” Chen Fan’s aura exploded, radiating the terrifying might of a battle god. With unstoppable strides, he charged at Xue Huang, emanating a crushing force.

Rumble!

He slashed with his halberd, forcefully tearing through the air. The space let out a furious roar, shaking intensely.

A terrifying halberd light of death flew toward Xue Huang.

“Roar!” Xue Huang roared out loud. His blood-colored true primeval boiled and burned. His aura erupted wildly as he pushed his cultivation to the limit, making waves of blood-colored light shoot out from his blood saber.

Chla!

Behind Xue Huang, the fearsome silhouette of a blood emperor manifested, casting an emperor’s oppressive might over the battlefield. This immense power seemed to cross time and space, descending from the void to empower him.

“Blood Emperor Slash!”

As he chopped down, the blood emperor behind him mirrored the motion. Its illusory blood saber aligned with Xue Huang’s, their energies merging and amplifying, carving through space with lethal precision.

Pop, pop. Pop, pop, pop...

The saber and the halberd had yet to clash, but their auras and force fields collided, setting off explosive shockwaves. Space crackled and boomed, the chaotic storm enveloping the surrounding air.

Rumble!

The saber and halberd clashed like two blazing suns colliding in fury.

Blinding light instantly enveloped the entire Blood Refining Canyon, making it impossible to discern what was happening at the heart of the clash.

Boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom...

The relentless explosions echoed, rumbling like a monstrous beast as the two forces battled for supremacy within the storm.

Tap, tap, tap...

Moments later, two figures emerged from the torrent of energy, retreating from the clash, looking visibly worn.

Chen Fan narrowed his gaze, looking at Xue Huang as he acknowledged that the old monster was terrifying.

This Blood Emperor Slash had truly been formidable, unleashing a fierce force that surged into him.

Yet, Chen Fan’s Hegemonic Golden Body—already at level 14 and close to reaching 15—had withstood the assault. Since his time in the Little Demon Realm, his strength had grown exponentially.

But Xue Huang was feeling even more shocked inside.

The Blood Emperor Slash had been an ace up his sleeve. He still couldn’t gain the slightest advantage from this exchange. Chen Fan’s strength was unfathomable—well beyond what anyone at the fifth-level Heavenly Star realm should wield.

It was unthinkable!

In disbelief, Xue Huang grappled with the reality before him. Could this really be the strength of the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak?

“Die!” Chen Fan growled, forcing down the turbulent energy within himself, refining the remnants of Xue Huang’s attack. His true primeval surged within him like the roar of a thousand-man army, his gaze locked onto Xue Huang as he charged forward with unstoppable force.

Xue Huang took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed. In the face of Chen Fan’s oppression, he had nowhere to retreat. His only choice was to fight, risking his life.

Boom, boom. Rumble!

The two collided with explosive force, a cataclysmic shockwave tearing through the heavens and earth, leaving mountains and ground shattered in their wake.

“Old fart, if this is the best you’ve got, then today marks your end!”

Chen Fan fought increasingly valiantly, quickly suppressing Xue Huang.

He wielded the Purgatory Divine Halberd like an executioner, each deadly swing creating an impenetrable net of light around Xue Huang.

Several wounds of varying depths appeared on Xue Huang. He was covered in blood and looked to be in a sorry state. Under Chen Fan’s rain of attacks, Xue Huang was beaten back repeatedly and in danger.

Emperor Li and Wanderer White Brow saw Chen Fan beating down Xue Huang. If this continued, Chen Fan would soon kill Xue Huang. Their blood boiled and their auras soared, killing the Blood Demon Cave’s experts with greater fervor, spilling blood everywhere.

“Hahahaha, kill!” Sacred white lights blossomed from Wanderer White Brow as if he had the power to cleanse the world.

The waves of light dissolved Xue Kun's defenses, forcing him back as titanic palm strikes filled the air, blotting out the sun.

Xue Kun staggered, coughing up blood repeatedly, each blow leaving him weaker and more battered. Already injured from Chen Fan’s earlier strike, he was no match for Wanderer White Brow’s onslaught.

Suddenly, Xue Huang cried miserably.

Ah!

Fresh blood spurted in the air.

Xue Huang stumbled back, blood spurting from a deep gash. His chest was sliced open from chin to belly, bones and organs nearly visible.

Chen Fan had almost cleaved him in two with a single, brutal sweep of the Purgatory Divine Halberd.

Standing tall, Chen Fan held his bloodstained halberd at an angle, gazing down at Xue Huang with chilling indifference. "Old fool, are you ready to accept death?"

Xue Huang’s miserable state affected Xue Kun and the other Blood Demon Cave experts. Their expressions changed drastically, their minds wavering. Wanderer White Brow, Emperor Li, and the others seized this opportunity and struck them, breaking their tendons and bones. Pained cries rang out repeatedly.

“Meet your death!”

Chen Fan did not give Xue Huang a chance to catch his breath. As soon as his voice faded, he slashed at Xue Huang powerfully, wrapped in boundless cold killing intent. He was determined to end Xue Huang in one stroke, not leaving any future threats behind.

Rumble!

But just as his blow was about to fall, a rumbling shockwave tore through the battlefield. The very ground trembled as an explosion erupted from the depths of Blood Refining Canyon—the heart of the Blood Demon Cave’s base camp.

A terrifying blood-colored hand crossed the sky, crushing the void and darting toward Chen Fan.

This sudden turn of events shocked Chen Fan. His eyes narrowed fiercely, emitting a cold light. He diverted his slash that was meant for Xue Huang toward the oncoming blood palm.

Rumble!

A loud explosion rang out. The blood palm was slashed in two, but Chen Fan was also pushed back by a terrifying force, his clothes fluttering fiercely.

Roar!

An extended roar rang out from the collapsed Blood Demon Cave’s base camp, which transformed into blood-colored sonic waves that spread out in all directions, shaking the mountains and cracking the earth.

A figure dressed in blood robes with golden borders rose to the sky, emitting a fear-inducing aura. Heaven and earth trembled intensely under his aura.

“That is... Sir Earth Guardian!” Xue Kun and the others exclaimed in shock.
