Chapter 879 - Falling Out, Making a Move

“

Aiya

, you didn’t have to do that,” the white-robed youth said, seemingly lamenting the fate of the Guan Clan’s experts.

He strode forward, instantly crossing a vast distance as if the ground had shrunk beneath his feet. He arrived before the entrance and moved past the Guan Clan’s experts.

Chi, chi, chi.

Moments after the white-robed youth entered the tomb, the Guan Clan experts all grabbed their necks with wide eyes as blood gushed between their fingers. Not a soul saw how the youth struck.

“Kill, charge in, the Manifestation realm is just right before our eyes!” shouted someone in the crowd. All the lurking, restless martial artists rushed toward the entrance, roaring furiously.

Those Guan Clan experts no longer dared to block the way. Although they weren’t weak, too many people were charging at them. They would drown if everyone simply spat at them.

Their role was to buy time for Guan Wei, not throw their lives away.

Chen Fan’s group moved decisively, forcing their way through with overwhelming strength. Those who tried to block them were sent flying, unwilling to provoke such a terrifying force.

Boom, tch!

The second Chen Fan stepped into the tomb, he heard a sharp wind-breaking noise behind him. Before he could even observe his surroundings, danger prickled at his senses.

Whirling around, he caught sight of a massive Yin Yang fish baring its fangs, its wide maw snapping shut as it lunged toward him with lethal force.

“You’re courting death!” Chen Fan was furious.

There was no doubt in Chen Fan’s mind that the black-robed man had attacked. He wasn’t the least bit surprised, having long deduced that he was being plotted against. How could he not be prepared?

Although the black-robed man had struck suddenly, wanting to catch Chen Fan off guard, Chen Fan reacted instantly, spinning around and unleashing a palm strike. The palm wind was fierce, sweeping through like a violent hurricane.

Rumble!

The collision between the powerful palm wind and the Yin Yang fish created a storm of terrifying energy, shaking the surrounding space with deafening force.

Before that terrifying storm could dissipate, the black-robed man was already rushing to attack again with an incomparably savage smile on his face. “Little bastard, you’re done for! You’re dead, you know that! Now that we’ve entered the tomb, this land of extreme Yin is my world. Crushing you will be no different from crushing an ant!”

The black-robed man smiled incredibly arrogantly.

Until now, he had refrained from acting recklessly, wary of Chen Fan’s formidable strength. But here, in the tomb saturated with extreme Yin energy, the situation was entirely different.

This was his world, his sanctuary.

He cultivated the power of Yin Yang; in this tomb, he was like a fish in water. His aura kept climbing, reaching a level close to Shang Ziyan’s.

Now, he could stand his ground even against a late-stage, half-step Manifestation realm expert and easily defeat ordinary middle-stage, half-step Manifestation realm experts.

The nefarious Yin qi that permeated the tomb was like a tonic to the black-robed man.

If he cultivated here for several years, breaking through to the peak, late-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm would be well within his reach

He reveled in the energy, feeling as if he were truly at home. This place obeyed his rules, and he couldn’t wait to strike.

Therefore, he had attacked Chen Fan without hesitation.

Previously, he was admittedly not a match for Chen Fan; now, he had the confidence.

The first to speak out was Xiao Yuanyuan, her voice filled with concern.

“Not good, damn it, this damned guy really made a move!”

Although she was not on good terms with Chen Fan, she had come to recognize that there were no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits.

As long as Chen Fan could give her enough benefits, she had no qualms with him.

Although Chen Fan did not help her directly, she understood that having someone of his caliber around would make their search for the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring smoother. Not to mention, his presence could help them keep Shang Ziyan in check.

With an expert escorting them, even if they failed to find the Heavenly Soul Holy Spring, they could rest easy knowing their lives would be safe.

Xiao Yuanyuan also noticed that, while Chen Fan could be ruthless, he wasn’t indiscriminately cruel. She would be fine as long as she did not provoke him.

Someone like this was much better than the moody Shang Ziyan. If she had to choose between the two, she would choose Chen Fan.

With the aid of the nefarious Yin qi in the tomb, the black-robed man had grown bold and hostile. The situation had taken a sudden and drastic turn for the worse.

“This guy has actually become so much stronger with the help of the nefarious Yin qi!” Su Tong’s expression also changed slightly, sensing the aura emanating from the black-robed man.

Among the group, Su Tong was the one most desperate for Chen Fan’s safety. In such a chaotic tomb, dangers were everywhere. Any misstep could result in instant death.

As for Gu Tian, Lei Yuanjie, and Sun Yuhan, however, they kept their thoughts to themselves, their gazes uncertain and drifting.

None of them were surprised by the black-robed man’s sudden attack on Chen Fan.

They had long since picked up on the escalating killing intent the black-robed man harbored for Chen Fan. Most importantly, Shang Ziyan was also looking at Chen Fan from the side with an icy gaze, seemingly having no intentions of stopping them.

Moreover, his aura was firmly locked onto Chen Fan as if he would join the black-robed man to kill Chen Fan.

“You little bastard, I shall offer your head as a tribute to my big brother today!” The black-robed man strode forth. A chilling Yin wind rose around him, sending violent gusts through the air. His robes flapped wildly, and an aura of dominance swept over everything.

It was as though he were the sole ruler of this dark tomb, and all who entered were merely pawns to his will.

“Yin Yang Suppression!”

The black-robed man struck out in a flash. The nefarious Yin qi formed a gigantic Yin-Yang diagram in the air, with terrifying divine lights flowing on it. Its aura made Gu Tian and the others feel an overwhelming sense of imminent death.

The boost the black-robed man received from the tomb was so potent that it could pose a significant threat to them.

Naturally, Chen Fan could also sense the increase in the black-robed man’s strength, skyrocketing to the peak, middle-stage, half-step Manifestation realm—nearly an entire level's worth of strength gained.

Although he was somewhat surprised, Chen Fan showed no fear. His expression remained indifferent, tinged with a hint of disdain.

It was better that the black-robed man made his move now. Some problems should be resolved early. Chen Fan could use this opportunity to probe Shang Ziyan’s strength.
