Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 593 - Let Me!

The battle against the white-bone corpse demons raged on relentlessly.

Everyone knew that the upheaval on the ghost mountain was a catastrophe threatening all life on the island. They fought with desperation, knowing their survival was at stake.

Rumble!

The sky crumbled, the earth cracked, and the stars fell. Rumbling noises rang out endlessly.

As they ascended the ghost mountain, the white-bone corpse demons they encountered grew progressively stronger, slowing down Chen Fan and the others’ advance.

While no single demon could pose a serious threat to Chen Fan and Li Yao on its own, a swarm of attacks could potentially overwhelm even the strongest.

Recognizing that Chen Fan and Li Yao were the greatest threats, most of the white-bone corpse demons charged at them fearlessly, sending a rain of bone spears their way.

Li Yao raised his head and looked ahead. A huge, dark wave of white-bone corpse demons was surging down like an unstoppable tide. He said with a grave expression, “Be careful. We are approaching the core area at the mountaintop. We will likely encounter Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons.”

Despite being a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse himself, Li Yao could sense the terrifying presence of monsters waiting ahead, even through the ghost mountain's disruptive environment.

Chen Fan’s expression was also somewhat grave as he said, “We have no way to retreat. If we don’t eliminate this threat, none of us will escape Hidden Dragon Island alive.”

Determined, the group pressed on.

Li Yao’s aura swept through the area. His Tyrant Fist shook heaven and earth. Not a single white-bone corpse demon could stop his attack. Everywhere the fist passed, a wide path was blasted open.

Chen Fan wasn’t doing any worse than Li Yao. He executed the Undefeated King’s Fist, making his three heads and six arms attack ferociously. The attacks swept through the area like rampaging dragons.

Qiu Yuexin, Xuanyuan Po, Gongsun Zhong, and the other experts also unleashed all their power—it was a fight for their lives.

The disaster threatening all life on the island demanded their utmost effort; failure meant death.

No one wanted to die!

Suddenly, the air became thick with the stench of blood. A rain of blood began to fall from the sky as if the heavens themselves were weeping.

“How could it be raining blood? It’s too scary!” cried a martial artist in horror.

The white-bone corpse demons were already giving them enough of a headache; now, it was raining blood, which only heightened their dread. It was clearly a sign of impending disaster, and fear began to grip everyone.

The bloody rain made them feel heavier and clung to them, impeding their movement.

However, the effect was relative to the individuals.

For top experts like Chen Fan and Li Yao, the bloody rain had less of an effect on their abilities but added to the gravity of the situation.

“Continue charging!” Li Yao roared. His aura suddenly exploded; the resultant sonic wave dispersed the crimson clouds in the sky.

The crowd charged forward frantically, the bone army failed miserably to stop them.

After a grueling battle, Chen Fan’s group ultimately arrived at the core area.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, “You people are finally here.”

Chen Fan and the others looked over at the ruins only to find Qingxu sitting there cross-legged. On either side of him stood a white-bone corpse demon, each as tall as fifty feet.

However, these two gigantic corpse demons were motionless. Chen Fan did not feel any aura from them; they just seemed like piles of white bones.

“It’s you!” Chen Fan and Li Yao cried out almost simultaneously.

Neither of them had expected the perpetrator to be Qingxu, the mysterious Daoist cultivator.

“You’re a remnant from the Underworld Palace!” Li Yao’s eyes blazed with fierce, icy fury.

“That’s right,” Qingxu admitted with a cold smile, confirming the accusation.

Everyone had been deceived by Qingxu. Though he appeared to be a Daoist, he was actually affiliated with the Underworld Palace.

“How dare you!” Li Yao shouted, bursting with overwhelming killing intent.

Qingxu smiled eerily and said, “Is this even daring? The daring thing is what I am about to do. Today, I will wipe out the younger generation of the entire Hong Domain.”

The crowd was enraged by Qingxu’s audacious words. Their anger flared, and shouts of fury erupted.

“You’re courting death!”

“Audacious!”

“Kill him!”

Li Yao said coldly, “Wipe us out? Big words for someone without an army!”

“I don’t need an army. I have them,” said Qingxu and clapped his hands.

Suddenly, the two fifty-foot-tall white-bone corpse demons unleashed their terrifying auras, creating a storm that shook the heavens. The overwhelming presence of these two demons darkened everyone’s faces.

These two white bone corpse demons had reached the Divine Nascent realm.

The sight left everyone pale and filled with dread. They had to face two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons, but they only had Li Yao on their side.

A sense of despair instantly shrouded the crowd.

Could Li Yao take on two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons alone?

Obviously, he couldn’t!

“How daring is this!” Qingxu taunted with a mocking smile, observing Li Yao’s increasingly grim expression.

Li Yao’s expression was very ugly, an icy light shining in his eyes repeatedly.

“What do we do now? Two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons... This is beyond terrifying!”

“I don’t want to die. Thanks to all the opportunities on the Hidden Dragon Island, I just became a five-revolution Golden Core realm expert. I can even reach the Divine Nascent realm in the future. I don’t want to die here.”

In an instant, the crowd’s earlier resolve crumbled. The prospect of facing two Divine Nascent realm white bone corpse demons was overwhelming.

Although Qiu Yuexin, Gongsun Zhong, and the others were in the nine-revolution Golden Core realm, they knew they stood no chance against genuine Divine Nascent realm opponents, even if they fought together.

They were all top prodigies from the top forces in various empires, with Divine Nascent realm powerhouses overseeing their respective sects. They understood all too well what it meant to face such formidable enemies.

The nine-revolution Golden Core realm and the Divine Nascent realm may only be one step apart, but this one step was very difficult to cross.

Even with their considerable strength, Qiu Yuexin, Gongsun Zhong, and other top prodigies could not bridge this gap in combat prowess.

As panic and despair spread through the crowd, Chen Fan stepped forward. “Let me handle this!”

Everyone looked at Chen Fan, stupefied.

Despite being only at the five-revolution Golden Core realm, his combat strength was comparable to, and in some cases even surpassed, that of the nine-revolution Golden Core realm experts like Qiu Yuexin and Gongsun Zhong.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to go neck and neck with Li Yao all the way while charging up the ghost mountain.

This underscored Chen Fan’s terrifying strength. However, they were now facing two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons. Even though his strength was at the peak of the nine-revolution Golden Core realm, it should have been impossible for him to win when facing a Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon, right?
