Chapter 769 - One Slash for Anyone Who Comes
Whoa!
The entire central plaza broke out into a commotion. The crowd murmured in speculation.
“Nah, you can’t convince me otherwise. That guy... he is not a human!”
When the crowd saw Chen Fan killing Hou Yuan, they felt their hearts skip a beat in fear.
“One slash—a casual attack—and Hou Yuan is dead instantly. His reputation is well-deserved. Chen Fan is terrifying.”
“That’s right. Ordinary ninth-level Heavenly Star realm experts will be nothing before him. I’m afraid only peak Heavenly Star realm experts can suppress him.”
“Guys, look at the Demon Advocate Sect’s side. If looks could kill, Chen Fan would’ve died a million times over. Their grudge is set in stone.”
“I wonder who’s stronger: him or Qin Cang?”
“......”
On the Demon Advocate Sect’s side, cold killing intents flared openly. Demonic energy surged, and shadowy demon figures roared, striking fear into the onlookers.
“Damn it! Damn it! This little bastard deserves to die!” A ninth-level Heavenly Star realm disciple from the Demon Advocate Sect let out a furious roar like a wild beast.
“Kill him! We must kill him! He dared to kill Junior Brother Hou Yuan—he must die!” Another ninth-level Heavenly Star realm disciple of the Demon Advocate Sect roared angrily, his killing intent surging to the sky.
Jian Qi turned his gaze toward the Demon Advocate Sect. His sharp eyes locked onto two disciples as he said coldly, “Hmph, very well. You two... yes, the two of you. I, Jian Qi, will remember you. Cross my path, and you’ll die.”
The Demon Advocate Sect’s people froze, stunned by his words.
Jian Qi’s gaze fell on Qin Cang, and he said coldly, “What are you looking at? You must be Qin Cang. Very well—pray you don’t cross my path, or you’ll die as well!”
Some Demon Advocate Sect disciples immediately shouted back, “You’re courting death!”
A trace of icy killing intent also flashed across Qin Cang’s eyes. He said, “Jian Qi, I know you. Peerless Peak members are indeed all boundlessly arrogant. Hmph, you want to kill me? You’re not even qualified!”
“Why don’t we discuss that in the arena?” Jian Qi laughed disdainfully.
“Ahhh!” The Demon Advocate Sect’s people went crazy from anger.
Chen Fan had killed Hou Yuan, and Jian Qi had verbally threatened them. To Jian Qi, they seemed like mere ants he could crush at will—a blatant insult that fueled their rage.
Inside the microcosm, the Demon Advocate Sect’s sect master clenched his fist, leaving cracks in the throne.
Crack!
They could clearly see everything happening inside the spatial arenas, including Chen Fan’s effortless killing of Hou Yuan.
A chill flickered in the sect master’s eyes. Though Hou Yuan wasn’t the sect’s strongest Heavenly Star realm fighter, his talent ranked just below Qin Cang’s. He was a seed for the Legendary realm, so the sect had heavily invested in him—investments now turned to waste by a single slash from Chen Fan.
Although he was furious, even he couldn’t go against the assembly rules. Hou Yuan was dead, and he could do nothing. Hou Yuan’s death only reflected his own lack of skill, especially after he’d provoked Chen Fan. His end was inevitable.
Hou Yuan’s death had shaken many people, especially those in the eighth or ninth-level Heavenly Star realm who had thought of killing Chen Fan to make a name for themselves. Now, they felt chills down their spines.
Immediately, many people from various superpowers and the main peaks of the True Martial Academy issued their orders.
“Pass down my command: unless your cultivation is late-stage, ninth-level Heavenly Star realm or higher, surrender at once if you encounter Chen Fan!”
Swish!
Chen Fan was sent out of the spatial arena and returned to Peerless Peak’s area.
“Haha, excellent, Junior Brother. You did very well. Show those trash that not just anyone can provoke us. If they try, they’ll pay the price!” Yan Weiyi laughed out loud as he patted Chen Fan’s shoulder.
He walked on the path of killing, so he had killed countless people. Chen Fan killing Hou Yuan with a single slash suited his taste perfectly.
“Good job, Junior Brother,” Jian Qi also said with a smile.
Suddenly, Jian Qi’s throne lit up, followed by the appearance of a message. Taking a look at it, he laughed out, “Haha, great. My opponent for this round is also someone from the Demon Advocate Sect. Hey, you—Feng Yuan, isn’t it? Weren’t you talking big earlier? Come, it is time to pay for your words. Let’s see if you even have the courage to enter the spatial arena now!”
On the Demon Advocate Sect’s side, Feng Yuan, a ninth-level Heavenly Star realm expert, felt like he had swallowed a fly.
Jian Qi had just threatened their entire sect, and now, by a twist of fate, Feng Yuan had to face him.
His earlier bravado felt hollow—Peerless Peak's ruthless reputation stretched across the eastern continent, and he now lacked even the courage to step into the arena against Jian Qi.
“Trash, I’ll be waiting for you in the spatial arena. You’d better show up!” Jian Qi taunted before entering the arena.
Reluctantly, Feng Yuan braced himself and entered.
The battle was over swiftly. Like Chen Fan, Jian Qi needed only one strike to kill Feng Yuan on the spot
“Hmph, just a piece of trash, and he still dares to talk big in front of me. He really doesn’t know his place.”
Jian Qi returned to his throne, not even glancing at the Demon Advocate Sect members, whose faces were now ashen.
Meanwhile, the battles continued. On the Peerless Peak side, every member had entered the spatial arena, displaying formidable strength.
As the crowd murmured, admiration for Peerless Peak’s dominance filled the air.
“Peerless Peak... They really deserve to be called peerless. They are all dragons amongst men, with monstrous talent. While others struggle to fight even one cultivation level above, these freaks can kill those two or even three levels above them with ease.”
“What can we do? I heard their peak master, Zhang Daoling, is a Void Immortal. His cultivation aligns with nature itself, and he understands the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. Naturally, he only accepts disciples of the highest caliber.”
“In the Heavenly Star realm group, Chen Fan and Jian Qi both seem invincible. Could they really be fighting for first and second place?"
“There’s also the Manifestation realm group’s Di Chen and Duanmu Lingxing. Tsk tsk, the two of them are also incomparably powerful. Just a few years back, after the Demon Hunting Competition, their Law Enforcement Hall tried to kill Chen Fan, but Di Chen stepped in and tore off the arm of Xiao Qianhe, a peak Manifestation realm expert, right in front of everyone."
"What? That’s crazy! Does this mean that the champions of both the Heavenly Star and Manifestation realms will come from Peerless Peak?"
“Not necessarily. Although the Peerless Peak is powerful, the others aren’t weak either.”
“......”
Chen Fan had already fought a few rounds. His opponents were all at the ninth-level Heavenly Star realm, but no one could withstand a single slash from him.
For those who directed killing intent toward him, Chen Fan showed no mercy, killing them without hesitation.
For the others, Chen Fan simply defeated them, holding back.
His unmatched might against these ninth-level Heavenly Star experts left the spectators in awe. Unless a peak Heavenly Star realm challenger appeared, it seemed no one could stand against Chen Fan.
