The moment Chen Fan’s voice rang out, everyone looked at him, stupefied.
At a time when fear and despair had taken hold, Chen Fan’s willingness to step forward was remarkable.
Yet, courage alone wasn’t enough to resolve the situation. It wasn’t that the others lacked bravery; they simply lacked the strength.
Facing a Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon, courage without the power to back it up was meaningless.
“Chen Fan, are you crazy?” Xiao Zhen hurriedly said.
“There are two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons. Li Yao can deal with one of them, but what about the other? If the two of them team up against Li Yao, he won’t stand a chance. The best approach is to have someone else confront the second demon,” said Chen Fan.
The crowd nodded in agreement. As elite martial artists and geniuses, they understood the gravity of the situation. They knew that aside from Li Yao, no one else present was capable of facing a Divine Nascent realm demon alone.
Facing such a titanic foe was nearly a death sentence, so no one was ready to surrender their lives.
“We can join hands to deal with one Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon,” Xiao Zhen said.
Chen Fan shook his head and said, “There’s no point. After all, aside from the two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons, we still have to face countless weaker white-bone corpse demons. Furthermore, someone must step forward to kill that beast. This disaster won’t be calmed unless he dies.”
The crowd fell silent. Everything Chen Fan said was right.
They had three main problems: the two Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demons, the countless other weaker corpse demons, and, of course, the mastermind behind it all, Qingxu.
They were at a severe disadvantage in terms of numbers. If they committed their eight and nine-revolution Golden Core realm experts to tackle one of the Divine Nascent realm demons, who would handle the rest of the white-bone corpse demons?
“We also can’t send our weaker members to deal with the Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon.” Chen Fan said, “Here, other than me, I don’t think anyone else can do so.”
Despite their reluctance, they had to acknowledge that most of them were not equipped to face a Divine Nascent realm demon alone. Even the most elite among them would struggle to withstand a single attack.
Qiu Yuexin, Gongsun Zhong, and the other top geniuses had to admit that they couldn’t confront a Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon alone.
Li Yao’s expression was grim as he asked, “How confident are you?”
Given the dire situation, the human martial artists were clearly at a significant disadvantage.
If they only had to fight off one Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon, everything would have worked out well. But now, with two Divine Nascent realm demons on the field and only one Divine Nascent realm powerhouse on their side, they were at a severe disadvantage.
Even with Li Yao’s extraordinary talent and status as the top genius of the Hong Domain’s younger generation, facing two opponents of that level would be nearly impossible.
If Li Yao was to fight one against two, it wouldn’t take long before he was killed by the combined strength of the two white-bone corpse demons, leading to an even greater disaster for the group.
“I’m about seventy to eighty percent confident,” Chen Fan admitted. “It’s not a certainty, and it’s definitely risky. However, if we can eliminate Qingxu quickly, I believe my chances of success remain high.”
Thanks to the Myriad Elephants Divine Art, he could fight a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse, but Chen Fan had never fought one before. That made him uncertain. The true test would come when he faced one in battle.
He was not acting impulsively; his decision came after careful consideration.
Even if he was no match for the Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon, it would be sufficient as long as he could stall until Qingxu was killed.
Once Qingxu dies, those white-bone corpse demons would no longer be a threat.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to test whether the complete mastery level of Myriad Elephants Divine Art really gave him the strength to fight a Divine Nascent realm.
After all, he had not forgotten about the matter of the Golden Hoop Sect intercepting him and trying to kill him.
“No one can do it aside from me!
“If even I fail, then everyone will die!” Chen Fan’s tone was calm, but his words were filled with heroism that reached the clouds.
Xiao Zhen still wanted to try dissuading Chen Fan, but the latter had already made up his mind. Xiao Zhen also understood that this was indeed the best decision and also the most reliable choice.
“Alright, then leave Qingxu that beast to me!” An incredibly powerful sword intent erupted from Gongsun Zhong.
“Alright, let’s do it then!” Chen Fan stepped forward, a terrifying aura erupting from him, stirring the winds and clouds.
It was as if the cries of dragon-elephants were emanating from his very being.
Chen Fan immediately channeled the Myriad Elephants Divine Art to the limit. His qi and blood flowed furiously like the Yangtze River, he grew three inches taller, and his physique became sturdier.
From a distance, Chen Fan appeared like a heavenly god, exuding unparalleled might, capable of dominating the land, eclipsing the sun and moon, and commanding the stars.
“Kill!” Chen Fan and Li Yao rushed forward almost simultaneously.
Taking the left and right flanks, they each struck at a different Divine Nascent realm white bone-corpse demon with powerful palm strikes that shook the heavens.
The power of the Divine Nascent realm was immense. They needed to draw the two white-bone corpse demons away from the others, as fighting here would endanger Gongsun Zhong and the rest.
A halberd light of death slashed toward the Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon on the left.
This Divine Nascent realm white-bone corpse demon was immediately enraged when it saw that a puny five-revolution Golden Core realm martial artist dared to attack it. Death qi surged, spiraling into the sky as the massive creature raised its colossal white bone hand to crush the oncoming deadly halberd light.
The deadly halberd light that could kill a nine-revolution Golden Core was instantly crushed to pieces in its hand.
But Chen Fan had already arrived in front of the white-bone corpse demon. He slashed violently with the Purgatory Divine Halberd, striking the white-bone corpse demon.
Sparks flew everywhere in a flash. The white-bone corpse demon let out repeated angry roars from the pain, grabbing at Chen Fan furiously.
Chen Fan’s figure flashed, flitting away, luring this white-bone corpse demon away.
