The Demon Realm Platform:
When Chen Fan killed Gu Hao’s party, a name suddenly flashed intensely on the crystal scoreboard, jumping at an insane pace as if riding a rocket.
“Look! Heavens, who is that? Their ranking’s rising so quickly!” someone exclaimed, narrowing their eyes.
The speed of the name’s ascent was astonishing. Although the name was moving fast, the spectators were incredibly powerful cultivators, so it didn’t take them long to recognize this outlier.
“Chen Fan! My god, it’s Chen Fan!”
“How is that possible? Didn’t he die? Are the others so bad they are being overtaken by a corpse?”
“What did he do? His ranking is skyrocketing. He’s already entered the top 1000—no, wait! Now it is... 800, 600, 500, 200, 100, 36!”
“Heavens, he jumped straight to thirty-sixth place. Did he kill a god in there?”
“Wait, something’s off. Gu Hao was ranked thirty-sixth before, but his name has disappeared.”
“What? That’s impossible, right? Even if Chen Fan overtook Gu Hao, he should have dropped one rank, but for his name to disappear...”
A storm of shock erupted on the Demon Realm Platform.
The atmosphere around Peerless Peak was initially somber, and its members looked grim. So, they were also stunned to see Chen Fan’s name reappear and soar to thirty-sixth place.
“Second Senior Brother, Chen Fan is still alive, he didn’t die!” Jian Qi said excitedly.
Yan Weiyi also revealed a rare smile and said, “I told you, anyone who caught the Teacher’s eye could never be mediocre. Our Peerless Peak never accepts mediocre people.”
The third senior sister, Duanmu Lingxing, also smiled faintly and said, “I wonder what Chen Fan is doing inside. After a three-month-long silence, he made a move and soared to the thirty-sixth place.”
In contrast to the joy on the Peerless Peak’s side, Xiao Qianhe and the other Law Enforcement Hall members’ expressions instantly turned gloomy.
Chen Fan had reappeared, and with his return, Gu Hao’s name vanished completely.
“Ahhh, damn it, damn it! Gu Hao must have killed that little bastard! Damn it, how dare he disregard our academy’s rules and kill our hall’s disciple?! That little bastard is a devil reincarnate! A devil reincarnate, I say!” Xiao Qianhe roared furiously, his murderous qi shocking heaven and earth.
“Shut up, Xiao Qianhe!” Di Chen shouted coldly.
“Di Chen, how dare you tell me to shut up. How dare you?” Xiao Qianhe roared angrily at Di Chen.
“You want to fight me then?” Di Chen’s gaze suddenly turned cold. A vague, terrifying aura erupted from him, pressing toward Xiao Qianhe.
“Ahhh!” Xiao Qianhe kept roaring angrily, staring at Di Chen.
The six great experts surrounded Chen Fan. They had grown stronger since their last fight.
It was like furnaces were revolving inside them. Rumbling noises rang out non-stop, shaking people’s hearts.
Alongside these six strongest experts were others in the first-level Heavenly Star realm, such as the Second Fiend and Third Fiend. Murderous qi erupted from all of them, seemingly ready to deal a fatal blow to Chen Fan.
The six second-level Heavenly Star realm peerless geniuses had each taken their positions and gathered their auras. The entire space around here was sealed; they would not give Chen Fan any more chances.
Not even the Evening Star Golden Storm could kill Chen Fan; he was far too terrifying.
Allowing such a foe to live would threaten their lives, so they needed to eliminate him as soon as possible.
“Chen Fan, any last words?” Qin Wang said, “This is the end of the road for you. There’s no escape for you, neither in heaven nor on earth. Since the Evening Star Golden Storm couldn’t kill you, I will take that achievement.”
“That’s right, Chen Fan,” Hong Jun added in a low, muffled voice, his figure becoming even more imposing. “All six of us have advanced to the next level and joined hands to kill you. Show us what you’ve got and fight us to the death. Even if you die, it will be an honorable death.”
“Chen Fan, I’ll use your fresh blood to pay offerings to my fifth brother today. And make no mistake—you will die here!” said the First Fiend with overflowing killing intent.
“Very well, we are all here now.” Chen Fan scanned his surroundings, took a deep breath, and said, “Then, I should also come clean. I wanted Gu Hao to spread the news about me. Why? To lure you all here and catch you in one fell swoop!”
“What?” Qin Wang and the others were shocked.
“Hoho, did you really think I jumped into that storm to die? Let me explain: for me, the Evening Star Golden Storm is a heavenly opportunity. You all thought you could kill me now that you are stronger? Then allow me to show you what it means to be peerless and what it means to experience a... massacre.”
Chen Fan’s tone sent chills down their spines, like metal grinding against metal. Their expressions shifted, deterred by his aura, leaving them almost speechless.
“Hmph!” The First Dragon Lord snorted coldly and said, “Chen Fan, no need to bluff. I admit that you’re very strong, but I got a rough idea of your true strength through our last exchange. The peak of the second level, I would say. You claim you lured us here to catch us all at once? What a joke! Everyone, don’t let him intimidate you!”
The First Fiend said, “Everyone, no matter what, we have to kill this little bastard. This man is too scary. If we don’t kill him, none of us can eat or sleep in peace. We’ve already formed a deep grudge with him. If he escapes, we’ll all face disaster once he advances into the Heavenly Star realm.”
“That’s right, it’s indeed incredibly dangerous if we don’t kill this bastard. He was already very terrifying three months ago. Imagine how much stronger he’ll become in the future! We must remove this enemy as soon as possible!” Qin Wang added coldly.
Chen Fan looked at them with a smile and said, “Aren’t you all afraid of death?”
“Everyone, don’t fall for his trick to drive a wedge between us. We can only kill this man if we unite our strength. He’s only putting up a strong front!” said the First Dragon Lord.
“Strike together; don’t hesitate. Don’t give him a chance to flee. If he escapes again, we’ll be in danger in the future!” roared the First Fiend. A sonic wave rippled out, making others’ blood boil.
All of them knew that there was no time to lose. They must kill Chen Fan completely this time to end all future troubles.
