As Chen Fan’s voice fell, the entire space turned somber.
His arrogance had infuriated Nie Gang and Yang Wanli.
They had only come to help search for Chen Fan’s whereabouts after getting paid by the Qiu Clan. They hadn’t planned on taking action, expecting Old Ancestor Qiu to handle things.
However, they both wanted to skin Chen Fan alive and break his bones.
“You abominable brat, it seems like you’ve gotten too used to being arrogant in the Hong Domain and brought it with you to Shunan Prefecture. In that case, don’t blame us for bullying you with numbers!” Nie Gang said coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
Chen Fan curled his lips and said disdainfully, “Old bastard, no need for such grandstanding. Just say you are afraid of fighting me alone. Why make excuses? What a joke.”
Chen Fan’s words made Nie Gang and Yang Wanli’s expressions turn ugly.
‘This sharp-tongued little bastard!’
Old Ancestor Qiu growled, “No point in wasting words on this little bastard. Let’s just strike together, capture him, and cripple his cultivation. I’ll relish torturing you, slicing off your flesh piece by piece before snapping and ripping out your bones!”
“Shamelessly boasting old bastard, I’ll smash your bones right now, die!” Chen Fan sneered coldly. He charged toward Old Ancestor Qiu with overwhelming momentum.
“You beast, cease your arrogance. Today is the day you meet your doom!”
Old Ancestor Qiu’s eyes blazed with killing intent as his cultivation erupted, producing rumbling sounds that revealed its immense depth.
A judge’s pen /2/ABUIABACGAAgi7DO6gUo8JClygMwjAY4yQQ.jpg[/ref] about one foot long appeared in Old Ancestor Qiu’s hand. It was a Grade-5 treasure, and it shot toward Chen Fan, piercing through space.
“Hmph!” A cold snort rang before Old Ancestor Qiu.
A palm reached out and grabbed Old Ancestor Qiu’s weapon. A cold voice rang out.
“Old bastard, not only will you die, but your clan will also face annihilation because of you!”
A golden light flashed on Chen Fan’s skin, and he crushed the weapon.
“What?” Old Ancestor Qiu was struck with terror, barely able to keep himself together.
“Die!” Chen Fan ignored his reaction and sent a palm strike toward Old Ancestor Qiu, shattering the space.
Old Ancestor Qiu quickly raised a wall of primeval qi in front of him, but Chen Fan’s palm strike blasted through it effortlessly, as if it were butter or tofu, stopping it only for a moment.
Old Ancestor Qiu was thrown back, blood spewing from his mouth as he crashed through a mountain with a resounding rumble.
“How is this possible?” Nie Gang and Yang Wanli’s eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
Old Ancestor Qiu was very old, so his vitality had declined greatly, but he was still a second-level Divine Nascent realm expert, a figure of immense power. His swift defeat sent chills down their spines.
They had expected Chen Fan to be stronger after advancing to the nine-revolution Golden Core realm; however, the reality was that he was so strong now that second-level Divine Nascent realm experts seemed like kids before him.
“Nothing is impossible!” Chen Fan’s cold voice echoed, making Nie Gang and Yang Wanli’s hearts tighten. “You two, there’s no bad blood between us. It makes sense that that old fool wants to kill me—I slaughtered that little bastard from his clan. But we have no feud, yet you still want to interfere. Hmph, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
This was supposed to be an easy mission. All they had to do was to Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform. Now, it was clear that things were far from easy.
However, being ruthless figures, Nie Gang and Yang Wanli weren’t the type to back down. Regret was pointless now—they had already angered Chen Fan. Even if they tried to withdraw, Chen Fan would likely not let them go.
They had only one recourse: join forces and kill Chen Fan.
Nie Gang and Yang Wanli exchanged glances. Chilling light flickered in their eyes. They shouted coldly, “Kill!”
Almost simultaneously, the two charged towards Chen Fan from opposite sides.
They were middle-aged and in their prime, with vitality and auras far surpassing Old Ancestor Qiu’s.
Nie Gang, in particular, was the prefecture lord of Shunan Prefecture and a late-stage second-level Divine Nascent realm cultivator. He lived up to his reputation as the top expert. Armed with a great ax, he charged at Chen Fan, aiming a powerful slash.
Nie Gang channeled his strength to the limit, pouring his true primeval into his great ax and chopped down. Time seemed to freeze, and the world fell silent.
Chen Fan had defeated Old Ancestor Qiu in just a single move, displaying unimaginably terrifying strength. Nie Gang didn’t dare hold back. He wasn’t in a position to be cautious.
Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom, boom!
The great ax chopped down violently. The air was instantly torn apart. It was as if this ax would chop off the sky pillar that Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Suddenly, Nie Gang saw a massive hand emerging from Chen Fan—a golden, god-like palm, overwhelmingly powerful. It domineeringly ignored the great ax’s sharpness and reached out.
The palm caught the blade of Nie Gang’s great ax and made it crack instantly.
Chen Fan had demonstrated the full power of the Hegemonic Golden Body, crushing a Grade-5 treasure effortlessly with his bare hands. He himself was the ultimate weapon.
“All rise ends in a fall.”
Chen Fan stepped forward, and his voice resounded as he exerted his great strength.
The great ax shattered. Nie Gang was thrown backward, falling repeatedly.
However, the terrifying force from Chen Fan’s punch pushed Nie Gang ten kilometers out, his blood painting the sky.
Chen Fan raised his hand and thrust his palm to the side.
The air exploded violently, like gunpowder igniting. Yang Wanli’s saber shattered into countless fragments.
Some of those fragments pierced Yang Wanli and also sent him flying. His complexion turned ghastly white, and the perpetual smile he wore like the Laughing Buddha was replaced by a look of horror.
Now, whether it was Nie Gang, Yang Wanli, or anyone else, their gazes toward Chen Fan were filled with unbridled fear.
Chen Fan had defeated Old Ancestor Qiu and the others easily in a flash.
None of the three second-level Divine Nascent realm experts could withstand Chen Fan’s attack.
It was too terrifying!
