When Yan Weiyi mentioned "death," Chen Fan felt a sudden chill sweep across heaven and earth. The atmosphere grew somber as if a bloodthirsty grim reaper had descended.
On the Ancient Trial Road, Chen Fan had carved a bloody path, earning the title of the Killing God.
However, compared to Yan Weiyi’s shocking killing intent, Chen Fan's aura seemed insignificant. He was the true killing god.
When Yan Weiyi’s terrifying intent erupted, it seemed like the entire world would drown in a sea of blood.
Hearing Chen Fan agree to join the Peerless Peak, Yan Weiyi's expression softened.
“Eighth Junior Brother, it has been a very long time since Teacher took in a disciple. Whenever our Peerless Peak accepts a new disciple, it creates a huge sensation, not just in the True Martial Academy but across the entire eastern continent.”
“Is that so?” Chen Fan asked, still somewhat skeptical.
“Of course.” Jian Qi had a matter-of-fact look on his face and said, “Teacher has been in deep meditation, observing the world. He chose you because he believes you're the most exceptional. Why else would our Peerless Peak accept you over others? You know our teacher’s standards—ordinary geniuses don’t even catch his eye. When he chooses, it's always someone extraordinary.”
Chen Fan nodded and asked, “Oh, right, the Peerless Peak has a total of nine people, including me. Where are the others, like First Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, and Sixth Senior Brother?”
“You wish to see them?” Di Chen said with a vague smile, “First Senior Brother is our pride. He’s an outstanding figure among the disciples of the academy’s numerous halls. In the past, he dominated the Ancient Trial Roads alone, suppressing all the geniuses of heaven there to the point they couldn’t lift their heads up. He’s the strongest disciple of our True Martial Academy.”
“What? He suppressed all the geniuses on the ancient roads alone?” Chen Fan shivered.
Although Chen Fan himself was responsible for many massacres on the Gen Road, killing many and gaining fame across the eastern continent, he also knew that the most outstanding geniuses on the other ancient roads weren’t terrified of him.
However, his first senior brother had actually dominated all the geniuses on the other ancient roads. How stylish was that!
From the atmosphere around him and the rumors circulating, it was obvious to Chen Fan that the True Martial Academy had immense strength.
It was a renowned gathering place for experts from across the eastern continent, teeming with hidden talents. The fact that the First Senior Brother of Peerless Peak ranked first among all academy disciples hinted at the extraordinary level of his cultivation.
No wonder Peerless Peak only accepted the most talented individuals.
“As for a fifth senior brother, we don’t have one.” Jian Qi clarified, “Instead, we have a Fifth Senior Sister named Zhuge Mingyue, but she’s currently on a mission. Our Sixth Senior Brother, Zhu Yue, is also away on a mission. Right now, it’s just the two of us at Peerless Peak.”
The number of people here is really too few. Chen Fan thought as he shook his head, but he did not say anything more.
This scarcity underscored the greatness of Peerless Peak. Filled with anticipation, Chen Fan wondered what remarkable figures the First Senior Brother, Huang Wuji, and their teacher, Zhang Daoling, truly were.
“Alright, Chen Fan, since you’re willing to join us, you shall henceforth be our junior brother, ranked eighth. The Peerless Peak doesn’t have many rules; just one—never betray your teacher’s school. Otherwise, you will be pursued to the ends of the world until you die,” said Di Chen, his words carrying a hint of solemnity.
Chen Fan nodded, then cupped his fists toward Di Chen and the others and said, “I pay my respects to Senior Brothers and Senior Sister.”
“Hahahaha, very good. After all these years, Peerless Peak finally welcomes a new junior brother!” Jian Qi exclaimed, his happiness evident.
Once ranked last, he now felt a surge of joy at being promoted to senior brother with Chen Fan’s arrival.
Several extremely powerful auras descended upon the mountain peak, darkening the skies over the city as if a violent storm was brewing.
In an instant, coldness flashed across Di Chen and the others’ gazes.
“Who dares to come to our Peerless Peak to throw a fit, are they looking to die?”
An overwhelming killing intent surged from Yan Weiyi, causing the sky to be dyed blood-red, as if it had turned into a sea of blood, looking extremely terrifying.
“The Law Enforcement Hall has come to Peerless Peak to capture the murderer, Chen Fan. Are you going to stop us?” An old man dressed in robes stepped forward, releasing a terrifying aura—he was in the Manifestation realm. The surrounding space changed wildly, and his gaze was fierce as a sword.
“Murderer?” Yan Weiyi smiled coldly and said icily, “Get lost!”
His voice surged like a wave, echoing with authority. Even in the presence of a Manifestation realm powerhouse, Yan Weiyi showed no fear, asserting his dominance with a direct command.
Di Chen and Duanmu Lingxing both watched indifferently as this transpired.
Would it be so easy for them to come to the Peerless Peak to demand they hand over someone?
“Yan Weiyi, our Law Enforcement Hall is performing our duty according to the academy’s rules. No matter how tyrannical your Peerless Peak is, could it be that you won’t even show any respect to the academy’s rules?” Anger showed on this Manifestation realm powerhouse’s face. He was burning with rage.
As a Manifestation realm expert, being told to leave by Yan Weiyi, who was only at the peak of the Heavenly Star realm, was a blatant humiliation and disregard for his authority.
“Academy rules? Old man, don’t try to flaunt fake authority. Get lost now, and you can still leave in one piece. If you don’t, you’ll have to leave something behind,” said Yan Weiyi coldly.
Jian Qi and the others were all smiling coldly.
Unexpectedly, Kang Hong had actually gone to call for reinforcements.
“Yan Weiyi, you’re too presumptuous!” The old man’s rage erupted, his voice shaking the very air. Being threatened by Yan Weiyi was a direct insult to his status as an executive of the Law Enforcement Hall and a Manifestation realm expert.
Unbothered by the man’s fury, Yan Weiyi turned to Chen Fan and said, “Junior Brother, since you’ve just joined us today, I shall show you why we’re called the Peerless Peak!”
With those words, Yan Weiyi reached into the void, conjuring a saber from his primeval energy, and slashed at the Law Enforcement Hall executive.
The space produced a furious roar.
The slash moved faster than a stream of light, almost instantaneous, appearing before the Law Enforcement Hall executive like the grim reaper’s blade aimed at his head.
“You dare!” This Law Enforcement Hall executive’s expression changed drastically.
Even as a second-level Manifestation realm expert, he felt the chilling aura of death.
His cultivation surged in desperation, but it was futile. The slash tore through his defenses and struck down.
“Ah!” A miserable scream echoed. Fresh blood spurted wildly, and an arm flew out.
