As Xue Kun’s palm fell, Chen Fan countered with a powerful strike.
The blood demon’s face changed, realizing the might behind Chen Fan’s attack. Like a volcanic eruption, the attack drowned out his palm strike and continued toward him.
His organs cracked under the impact, his protective true primeval energy shattered, and he was hurled backward like a meteor, spitting blood.
“Ignorant fool,” Chen Fan spat, looking coldly at Xue Kun and retracting his hand.
The blood demons were astounded to see Xue Kun being thrown back by one strike. Their eyeballs nearly popped out from the shock.
For the Blood Demon Cave, aside from the Cave Master, the three guardians and eight kings possessed the greatest combat strength.
Xue Kun—renowned as King Kun—was one of the eight kings at the eighth level.
However, a fifth-level Heavenly Star realm brat had sent Xue Kun flying, making him spew blood. The sheer shock of it left them speechless.
Xue Kun’s feet left heavy imprints in the void as he struggled to steady himself, his gaze on Chen Fan filled with terror.
How is this possible?
How could someone at the fifth level of the Heavenly Star realm be so fearsome?
As an eighth-level cultivator, he should have crushed Chen Fan like an insect, yet he lay wounded from just one strike.
“Man Guardian, show yourself. How long do you plan to hide?”
Chen Fan ignored Xue Kun, staring into the void instead. Then, he unleashed a Northern Star Reaper Hand there.
A blood-colored palm seal blasted out from the void, colliding with the Northern Star Reaper Hand, leading to an explosion that shook heaven and earth intensely.
The Man Guardian, Xue Huang, emerged from within the chaos, wearing a golden-bordered blood robe.
“Brat, who are you?” Man Guardian looked at Chen Fan, somewhat shocked inside.
Though Chen Fan’s cultivation was at the fifth level, his combat strength rivaled that of the ninth level, even pressuring him.
Where did this brat come from?
“A dead man doesn’t need to know my identity,” Chen Fan said indifferently.
Man Guardian was indeed at the ninth-level Heavenly Star realm. He was similar to those old timers Chen Fan had killed to complete academy missions. He was a very terrifying existence.
Xue Huang’s eyes flashed with killing intent. Three thousand years ago, he was a feared figure across the Hong Domain, and now, this young upstart dared to insult his prestige.
“Hmph, I can guess your identity without an introduction. You’re a disciple of the True Martial Academy, and given your strength, you are likely from Peerless Peak. You are probably that Chen Fan guy who has recently risen to fame,” Man Guardian deduced with a cold sneer.
Chen Fan did not deny it. He looked at Man Guardian with a cold gaze and said, “Cut the nonsense. You demonic beings have thrown the Hong Domain into chaos, cutting many innocent lives mercilessly short. They failed to eradicate you three thousand years ago, but today, the Blood Demon Cave will fall. From this day on, it will no longer exist on Tianwu Continent!”
The Blood Demon Cave’s experts rebuked, their voices echoing with contempt.
“Shameless boasting!”
Xue Huang smiled coldly and said, “Hoho, it seems the recent fame has gone to your head, making you think you stand above everyone else! Our Blood Demon Cave survived that war three thousand years ago, yet you believe you can destroy it with mere words? Ridiculous!”
“You’ll see soon enough if it’s ridiculous!” Chen Fan shot back, unwilling to waste more words. He charged at Man Guardian, shrinking the space between them in a single stride.
“Die!” An icy voice resounded in space. Immediately, the atmosphere in the Blood Refining Canyon became incomparably somber.
Wanderer White Brow, Yuan Hengying, Emperor Li, and the others also charged toward the blood demons, their killing intent boiling over. Their qi reached the clouds, and their cultivation erupted, causing heaven and earth to lose their colors.
“Hmph, brat, today I, Xue Huang, shall end your legend in the eastern continent!” Fierce killing intent blazed in Xue Huang’s eyes as he unleashed his aura, gripping a blood saber.
With a fierce shout, Xue Huang slashed out, nearly splitting heaven and earth into two.
The attack could kill even an eighth-level Heavenly Star realm expert, demonstrating how powerful Xue Huang was after recovering.
Still, Chen Fan remained unfazed. He thrust his palm forward. A terrifying palm seal shook the lands, violently clashing with that blood-colored saber light.
It was like heaven and earth exploded. The ground shook, mountains swayed, the sky seemed to collapse, and the land sank.
A terrifying storm instantly swept out. Even seventh-level Heavenly Star realm martial artists would be injured if they were caught in this storm.
As Chen Fan and Xue Huang clashed, Wanderer White Brow and the others engaged Xue Kun and his allies.
Both sides collided like raging torrents, igniting a fierce, earth-shaking battle.
Deafening booms resounded non-stop. All kinds of powerful cultivation techniques clashed. The entire space instantly collapsed.
This battle raged even more intensely than the Spring Autumn Sect’s stand against the Blood Demon Cave’s advance.
Here, Heavenly Star realms were the real core combat strength; Divine Nascent realm martial artists were mere bystanders, unable to sway the outcome.
“Ahhh...” Blood mists filled the air as many were torn apart in an instant.
“World Extermination!” Xue Huang punched Chen Fan with his left hand.
The heavens collapsed, explosions thundered, and the surrounding space surged with volcanic fury. Killing moves were flying everywhere. True primeval gathered into numerous blood-colored volcanoes that spread endlessly, squeezing inward, and blood-colored magma flowed in all directions.
“Hmph!” Chen Fan snorted coldly, sweeping out horizontally with the Purgatory Divine Halberd. A terrifying halberd light tore through heaven and earth unstoppably, shattering the blood-colored volcanoes in its path.
Simultaneously, Chen Fan attacked with his left hand.
Flood Dragon Fist Scripture!
The fist energy was like a golden flood dragon, rushing toward Xue Huang with unparalleled ferocity, suppressing the world, wanting to tear him into pieces.
Xue Huang’s expression changed, sensing grave danger.
“Blood Slash Wastelands!” Xue Huang roared, channeling his power and slashing out violently with his blood saber.
An explosion that shook heaven and earth rang out. It was like a nuclear warhead had exploded in the sky. Golden light rays and blood-colored light rays rippled out in all directions blindingly.
Amid that storm, Xue Huang was pushed back repeatedly, unable to steady himself.
