Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 597 - Killing Qingxu

Rumble!

With the vengeful spirit dead, the white-bone corpse demon collapsed with a loud bang, turning into a pile of broken white bones. As the wind swept through, the bones turned into fine sand, scattering across the ground.

“Hoo, hoo.” Chen Fan panted heavily.

That was the strongest move in his arsenal. If even that had failed to kill the white-bone corpse demon, it would have been a serious problem.

Thankfully, the power of the combined Green Lotus Sword Qi did not disappoint him. It obliterated everything in its path.

Chen Fan took a brief rest, consuming some elixirs to aid in his recovery. His injuries were severe; he was drenched in blood.

The adrenaline of the fight had masked the pain, but now that it was over, the sting of his wounds became all too real, forcing him to suck in sharp breaths.

After a short while, Chen Fan stood up, his figure blurring as he quickly took to the skies, flying towards the distance.

He couldn’t afford to rest for long, as he had no idea what was happening on Li Yao’s side.

When Chen Fan killed the white-bone corpse demon, Qingxu’s expression suddenly darkened as he fought Gongsun Zhong to a stalemate. He had just sensed that one of the white-bone corpse demons had been destroyed.

This was alarming news.

How is this possible? That white-bone corpse demon was fighting that five-revolution Golden Core realm brat! Qingxu was greatly shocked in his heart.

The two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons were supposed to be his trump cards.

He had expected that white-bone corpse demon to quickly kill Chen Fan, a five-revolution Golden Core realm expert. The corpse demon would then join hands with the corpse demon fighting Li Yao. They would together kill the Great Li Imperial Court’s prince.

But now, the situation had flipped entirely. Li Yao was still locked in a fierce battle with his white-bone corpse demon, while the one fighting Chen Fan had been killed.

This news was simply a bolt from the blue for Qingxu. He hadn’t even considered the possibility.

How could a five-revolution Golden Core cultivator defeat a Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon?

It defied all logic.

Even if Chen Fan could fight above his level, the gap between the Divine Nascent realm and the Core Formation realm was as vast as heaven and earth.

A peak nine-revolution Golden Core expert might barely survive an encounter with a Divine Nascent powerhouse, but to actually defeat one? That was unheard of.

Yet, Qingxu couldn’t deny the truth. He had clearly sensed the death of the vengeful spirit within the white-bone corpse demon that had been battling Chen Fan. There was no mistaking it.

“You dare to get distracted while fighting me? Slash!” An incomparably fierce light shone in Gongsun Zhong’s eyes. He slashed down fiercely with his sword. The clear and cold sword light instantly filled heaven and earth, about to split Qingxu in half and end this disaster.

Qingxu immediately came back to his senses. His expression sank, and he thrust his palms out, blocking Gongsun Zhong’s slash. Then, he quickly pulled back, his expression ugly.

On the other side, Li Yao and the white-bone corpse demon were in a stalemate.

Li Yao’s physique was not as powerful as Chen Fan’s. He mobilized the primeval qi of heaven and earth to boost the power of his attacks. However, the white-bone corpse demon’s bones were as tough as metal. A quick victory seemed difficult.

Despite his outward composure, Li Yao was feeling a growing sense of urgency.

He needed to kill this white-bone corpse demon as soon as possible. He knew that Chen Fan had drawn away the other demon, but he feared that Chen Fan wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

Although he respected Chen Fan's strength, Li Yao doubted whether Chen Fan could continue stalling the white-bone corpse demon without being overwhelmed.

If Chen Fan fell, it would spell disaster for him and their entire group.

With a loud roar, Li Yao unleashed his power, causing the surrounding air to collapse under the force.

The silhouette of an emperor appeared behind him. As he continued throwing out punches, the power of his Tyrant Fist grew increasingly domineering and terrifying.

Boom!

Li Yao's punch connected with the white-bone corpse demon, releasing a burst of energy so intense that it seemed capable of shattering a star.

Boom!

His punch was too terrifying. It nearly blew off half of the white-bone corpse demon. Yet, the white-bone corpse demon remained unfazed. Its remaining claw swiped viciously at Li Yao’s head, aiming to crush it into oblivion.

With this claw, a terrifying force descended as if it would unravel the very fabric of the universe, plunging everything back into primeval chaos.

“Hmph!” Li Yao snorted coldly. A cold light shot out from his eyes. A resplendent fist silhouette swept out, rushing toward the white-bone corpse demon.

Rumble!

Li Yao’s devastating punch reverberated through the heavens, shattering the stars and causing vast sections of the sky to collapse.

Amidst the ruins, the human martial artists fought intensely with the endless army of white-bone corpse demons. It was a very tragic battle.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound cut through the chaos. A figure tore through the air at a frightening speed, setting off sonic booms as it streaked across the sky.

A terrifying light from a deadly halberd descended upon the corpse demons, exploding with immense force. In an instant, countless white-bone corpse demons were obliterated.

“It’s Chen Fan, my god, Chen Fan has returned! Hmm? There isn’t a white-bone corpse demon behind him?”

“You’re right! D-did he deal with that Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon?”

“How is that possible!”

“......”

The crowd was stunned.

How was that possible?

How could Chen Fan possibly get rid of a Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon? Everyone knew the fearsome power of a Divine Nascent realm entity. Such beings were far beyond the reach of any martial artist in the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core realm.

Just the idea that he could hold his own against a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse seemed ridiculous enough. So for one to believe that he could actually defeat one seemed impossible.

Yet, there was no sign of the white-bone corpse demon chasing after him. This meant that the Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon was dead.

Qingxu’s gaze also fell on Chen Fan. An incomparably cold killing intent burst out from his eyes. Chen Fan really got rid of that white-bone corpse demon.

His carefully laid schemes were now in ruins.

If he had known this would happen, he would have gotten rid of Chen Fan when he first met him on the sea.

Chen Fan scanned the surroundings and said calmly, “I’ve gotten rid of that white-bone corpse demon!”

Those words were like a bomb exploding underwater. The crowd blew up into a commotion.

The fact that Chen Fan had killed a Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon was astounding and unbelievable.

His words from before he had left echoed in the crowd’s ears.

“If I fail, then everyone will die!”

His overwhelming self-confidence made him seem invincible.

Chen Fan’s cold gaze landed on Qingxu. He was not worried that Li Yao would fail to deal with his Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon. If he couldn’t even take care of that, he wouldn’t deserve his title: the number one genius of the Hong Domain’s younger generation.

“Looks like your plans are ruined!” Chen Fan said coldly.

A look of resentment showed in Qingxu’s eyes, and he said, “I didn’t expect all my efforts to be wasted in the end because of you. If I had known this earlier, I would have slaughtered you when I first met you. I let a tiger cub grow into a threat, damn it!”

“It’s useless even if you regret it. A sinful beast like you deserves to die!”

An overwhelming killing intent erupted from Chen Fan. He charged toward Qingxu.

Chen Fan had killed a Divine Nascent realm being, so his momentum was unparalleled. Qingxu was only in the nine-revolution Golden Core realm, so he was far from being Chen Fan’s match.

In just a few moves, Qingxu’s head went flying into the air.

Simultaneously, Li Yao also blasted the white-bone corpse demon to bits with a punch.
