Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 361 – Devastated

“Zhao Lei!” Zhao Hong roared furiously.

He swung his blade fiercely, its light like a blizzard, capable of completely freezing anyone. Chen Fan countered with a simple backhanded smack; it melted the ice instantly, restoring everything to its original state.

“Don’t get impatient. Your turn will come very soon.”

Chen Fan stabbed backward, eliminating another top expert of the Zhao Clan.

“Ignite your primeval force. All of you, ignite your primeval force!” Zhao Hong's voice echoed with madness.

In the face of Chen Fan's overwhelming strength, even their combined efforts were all for naught. Instead, they lost two top experts in an instant.

A snowy image appeared above Zhao Hong. He had ignited his primeval force.

Woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...

His aura immediately erupted, rising and approaching the level of the Illusory Core realm.

The other Zhao Clan members also ignited their primeval forces one after another, determined to fight Chen Fan to the death.

“Kill!” Zhao Hong bellowed, wielding his blade like a madman. Streams of fierce blade light pierced the air, resembling pure white snowflakes.

“Blizzard Fills the Sky!”

The densely packed, pure white snowflake-like blade lights shot toward Chen Fan, tearing through the air. Every blade light had aimed to rend him into countless pieces.

However, Chen Fan remained unfazed. Let alone Zhao Hong, even if Zhao Tianjue were here and ignited his illusory core, the only outcome would be Zhao Tianjue dying.

With a swift motion, he thrust his iron spear fiercely, engulfing Zhao Hong's snowflake blade lights with waves of raging flames, obliterating them instantly.

“Unified Dragon Tiger Lightning God Big Dipper Qi!” Zhao Yihai, an expert at the peak of the eighth level, made his move. [1]

It summoned a dense web of lightning from the void, with dragon and tiger-shaped lightning arcs coalescing into a deadly force capable of cutting off the heavenly river.

The dragon-tiger lightning web flew through the air. If thrown into an ocean, it could paralyze all the demonic beasts in the entire ocean. The net could ensnare anything it touched.

Chen Fan countered with a palm strike.

With a rumble, a strange palm seal with three fingers appeared in the air, carrying with it the essence of reaping lives. The Northern Star Reaper Hand destroyed the dragon-tiger lightning web as soon as they made contact.

Without losing any momentum, the Northern Star Reaper Hand continued toward Zhao Yihai. With a boom, the space shook, followed by a rain of blood.

“Yihai!” Zhao Hong’s sorrowful cry rang out.

Chen Fan stepped forward, dashed ahead, and shook his arm.

“Prairie Fire Hundred Strikes!”

Numerous flaming spear silhouettes materialized; like blazing meteors, they fell toward the Zhao Clan members.

“Ahhh...”

The attack killed all the Zhao Clan members except for a handful of eighth and ninth-level Yuanfu realm experts, including Zhao Hong, who barely survived the attack.

Zhao Hong and the three others’ faces turned ghastly white, trembling. It was unknown whether they were trembling from anger or fear.

The public of Watermoon City hadn’t stopped discussing the fight.

“Too powerful. Killing more than ten people with a single attack... How terrifying!”

“Who would've imagined the mighty Zhao Clan of the imperial city would be reduced to mere ants? They had come with such fierce momentum to wipe out the Chen Clan, but Chen Fan alone took care of them.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. The imperial city’s Zhao Clan has Core Formation realm experts. Although Chen Fan may seem incomparably imposing right now, he’ll have to kneel once the Zhao Clan’s Core Formation realm experts arrive.”

“......”

“This guy... it hasn’t even been that long, but he is already at the ninth level? Wasn’t he at the fourth level?” Nangong Baxiong was shocked as he watched Chen Fan show off his divine might.

He did not know that Chen Fan had concealed his true cultivation level back then. So, he thought that Chen Fan had gone from the fourth to the ninth level so quickly that it was simply unprecedented.

Wielding his iron spear, Chen Fan looked at the four trembling members of the Zhao Clan. He said coldly, “Zhao Hong, what tricks do you have left? Use them all. Otherwise, you won't get another chance."

“Don’t get happy too soon, Chen Fan. You’ll have to die even after killing us!” Zhao Hong said malevolently.

Chen Fan chuckled lightly, then pursed his lips and said, “Oh, you think Zhao Tianjue can kill me? You’re too na?ve. I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve killed even Illusory Core realms before. When he comes, I’ll send Zhao Tianjue to reunite with you people down there.

“Now, go to hell!”

Chen Fan appeared in front of the four with a single step. His strength surged, and his qi and blood clattered noisily. Under his terrifying and oppressive aura, Zhao Hong and the others couldn’t open their eyes, and their hearts beat wildly.

His next punch obliterated their auras, and it was unstoppable as it landed squarely on Zhao Hong.

Boom!

Zhao Hong’s bones echoed like war drums, shattering inch by inch.

“Ah!” Zhao Hong screamed in pain as he crashed onto the ground like a falling meteor.

He was heavily injured and lost all fighting strength.

“Kill him, attack together!”

Although the remaining three seventh and eighth-level Yuanfu realm experts were terrified, they had no way to retreat, so their only option was to fight.

The three pushed their burning primeval force to the limit. Their auras surged, deep like the abyss, as they shot with immense force toward Chen Fan.

“What use is your bravado? It was useless when you had ten on your side, so what difference can you three make? Pointless!”

Chen Fan’s indifferent voice rang out. He grabbed at the empty air, and the gesture seemed to have constricted the surrounding space.

The trio’s combined attack blew up with a pinch from Chen Fan.

“I’ll send you to hell.”

With a shake of his arm, he stabbed out three times in a row. Following three poofs, the three seventh and eighth-level Yuanfu realm experts suddenly stiffened.

Silence enveloped Watermoon City. Minds seemed constrained, and brains ceased to function. The populace stared blankly at Chen Fan hovering in the air.

Aside from the heavily injured Zhao Hong, sprawled out on the ground like mud and panting heavily for air, all the other Zhao Clan members were dead.

The massacre unfolded with such swiftness that it seemed like a fleeting moment. Chen Fan had single-handedly decimated the Zhao Clan with unstoppable force and overwhelming strength, leaving observers unable to comprehend his dominance.

Chen Fan directed his gaze toward Zhao Hong. He reached out his hand and grabbed at the empty air, picking up Zhao Hong like a little chick, and said coldly, “You didn’t think it would end like this, did you?”

Zhao Hong did not say a word, only staring at Chen Fan with bitter resentment.

Chen Fan was unmoved by his glare and continued, “From the look in your eyes, you still harbor a sliver of hope for Zhao Tianjue. Fine, I won’t kill you first. You will see with your own eyes how he dies.”

1. Yes, I know how ridiculous it sounds. What’s even more ridiculous is that a quick Google search showed me another novel that used the same move. However, I have to say this novel came out first. ☜
