Chapter 801 - The Crowd in Shock

Crown Prince Evil Moon’s expression shifted erratically as Chen Fan’s words sank in.

He had miscalculated.

His greatest error was failing to anticipate that the Yin Lightning of Six Desires would be completely ineffective against Chen Fan.

“

Hmph

, don’t get complacent just yet, Chen Fan. Even if the Ten Great Blood Generals are dead and the Yin Lightning of Six Desires is useless against you, I can still cut you down all the same!” said Crown Prince Evil Moon firmly, a ferocious light flickering in his eyes.

“Hahahaha.” Chen Fan laughed out loud. He curled his lips and said with a face full of disdain, “Such bold words! But enough of this farce. Today, no one in heaven or earth can save you! You have killed too many innocent souls on the eastern continent, you sinful demon. Tonight, I shall end your reign of terror and restore peace to the world.”

𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Chen Fan charged toward Crown Prince Evil Moon, holding the Heaven Piercing Spear and his aura incomparably berserk.

“Who’s afraid of you!”

A cold light flickered in Crown Prince Evil Moon’s eyes. The Evil Moon Scimitar in his hand shone with a chilling light that drew one’s mind in. With a swift motion, he unleashed a terrifying blade arc that tore through the night, slashing toward Chen Fan.

“The Ten Great Blood Generals couldn’t kill you? That’s their incompetence.

Hmph

, you think your victory is certain? Fine! Let me show you what I relied on to rampage across the eastern continent!”

Boom, boom, boom!

Bursts of powerful aura erupted from Crown Prince Evil Moon like the tide.

As a half-step Manifestation realm expert, he was much stronger than martial artists like Wanxin, who had just grasped the power of manifestation. For him, the barrier to the full Manifestation realm was as fragile as a sheet of paper.

Chen Fan thrust his arm out, shattering the oncoming blade light. But Crown Prince Evil Moon had already arrived in front of Chen Fan. His eyes reflected a cold, crimson, crescent moon that slashed violently at him with unparalleled power.

Boom, tch!

In just one exchange, the Evil Moon Scimitar cleaved Chen Fan’s Heaven Piercing Spear.

Boom, tch!

The crimson blade light struck Chen Fan with a deafening clang, sparks erupting.

“Die!” Crown Prince Evil Moon shouted. His arm chopped down once more, determined to split Chen Fan’s head in half.

Pa!

However, Crown Prince Evil Moon’s Evil Moon Scimitar shattered like a block of tofu when Chen Fan waved his arm. Its fragments flew back with explosive force, piercing Crown Prince Evil Moon and leaving trails of blood that shot out like crimson arrows.

“How is this possible?”

Crown Prince Evil Moon retreated frantically, staring at Chen Fan, his eyeballs trembling fiercely.

His Evil Moon Scimitar was an exceptional Grade-7 treasure and was incomparably powerful. How could Chen Fan shatter it so easily?

His gaze focused on the weapon now in Chen Fan’s grasp—a curved blade that gleamed with blinding brilliance, emanating a boundlessly sharp aura that directly tore the air apart.

“Brilliant Blade!” Crown Prince Evil Moon’s irises shrank violently. “Impossible, although the Brilliant Blade is a Grade-9 treasure, without true primeval driving it, it’s impossible for it to shatter my Evil Moon Scimitar in one go. How could you possibly refine the Brilliant Blade in less than a year?”

The power of a Grade-9 treasure was beyond question—coveted even by peak Legendary realm experts. And the Brilliant Blade, which contained scraps of an immortal artifact, was no ordinary Grade-9 treasure.

Even if one of those Legendary realm peak experts acquired it, refining the blade would still demand several months of arduous effort.

Chen Fan was only in the Heavenly Star realm. If he wanted to completely refine it, it should have taken at least two years.

“Damn it, your teacher helped you refine it, right?” Crown Prince Evil Moon roared like a madman.

Chen Fan laughed coldly and said, “Does it matter? Dead men don’t need to know such things. Focus on your next life instead—if you even get one. And here’s a bit of advice: stay on the right path next time.”

Zhang Daoling helped him refine it?

He had the Heaven Seizing Furnace; what was there that he could not refine on his own?

What others deemed impossible, for Chen Fan, was merely another challenge to overcome.

With Brilliant Blade in hand, Chen Fan was truly like a tiger with a pair of wings. A single swing of his arm shattered Crown Prince Evil Moon’s defenses and attacks, slicing through them effortlessly. The strikes left deep gashes, exposing bone—he was utterly helpless.

“Crown Prince Evil Moon, you should feel proud to be able to die under the Brilliant Blade. After all, killing you with the Brilliant Blade is like using a butcher’s knife to slaughter poultry for me.”

As his words faded, Chen Fan slashed out at once.

The space itself tore apart. With a horrified expression, Crown Prince Evil Moon was cleaved in two, his divine nascent destroyed along with him.

The ruthless, feared Crown Prince Evil Moon, who had terrorized the eastern continent, was dead.

On a dune in the distance, several silhouettes flickered.

“Oh shoot, that’s too freaking terrifying. Crown Prince Evil Moon is dead!”

These figures were none other than the leader and vice leaders of the sand bandits.

They were intimidated by Chen Fan previously and fled. However, they did not get far away. They hid here, observing the situation from afar.

When they saw Chen Fan wiping out the Ten Great Blood Generals and then killing a fierce character like Crown Prince Evil Moon, they felt like they had been struck by lightning.

The sand bandit leader, a middle-aged man at the peak of the Heavenly Star realm, suddenly felt Chen Fan’s gaze upon them. He froze in fear, and he turned to flee.

“Not good, quickly run, he noticed us!”

Chla!

But before they could react, a terrifying streak of sword qi slashed through the air toward them. No defense, no outcry could save them. They were all cut down instantly.

These sand bandits had committed many atrocities. Their sins were not any lighter than Crown Prince Evil Moon and the others’ crimes. Naturally, Chen Fan would not mind getting rid of them in passing, especially when these bandits had attacked him before.

True Martial Academy:

Chen Fan returned to the academy and came to the Merit Hall, immediately drawing the gazes of countless people.

“See, I told you! Look, Chen Fan gave up on the mission in the end. How could he have returned alive otherwise!”

“I think so too. I heard rumors that Crown Prince Evil Moon prepared an inescapable net of heaven and earth at the Northern Sea Desert for Chen Fan. He must have sensed the danger and knew that he would not make it back alive if he went, thus giving up on the mission.”

“It’s no surprise. Crown Prince Evil Moon has a fierce reputation, after all. This mission has been around for so many years and no one could complete it. Even a first-level Manifestation realm expert died at his hands. Chen Fanbacking out of this mission is no big deal.”

Amidst the crowd’s murmurs of disbelief, Chen Fan entered the Merit Hall, unaffected by the discussions around him. He went up to the attending disciple and said, “I’ve come to hand in my mission. The mission to kill Crown Prince Evil Moon.”

Chen Fan gestured with his hand. Immediately, the split corpse of Crown Prince Evil Moon materialized and reassembled, still with wide, furious eyes and an expression of disbelief frozen on his face from the moment of his death.

“What? How is this possible? How is this possible? He killed Crown Prince Evil Moon. This is simply unbelievable. That’s not a fake, is it?”

“It’s not, I’ve seen Crown Prince Evil Moon’s portrait. This corpse is definitely Crown Prince Evil Moon’s. Countless people hated him to the bones!”

“Heavens, how exactly did Chen Fan complete this mission? Did Crown Prince Evil Moon’s trap fail? This is too incredible. Even second or third-level Manifestation realm experts would have likely died trying.”

“

Hiss, hiss

, my god!”

Everyone had looks of disbelief on their faces, unable to believe this.

No one could fathom how the mission to kill Crown Prince Evil Moon—an impossible task—had been completed. A Heavenly Star realm martial artist wasn’t supposed to be able to do this. Even second or third-level Manifestation realm experts would likely fail.

Then, how did Chen Fan do it?
