Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 122 - Duan Jingtian’s Voice

“Zhong Li, spare me your nonsensical chatter; I can't endure it any longer. You believed you could suppress me, but you should take a better look at yourselves.”

Chen Fan withdrew his primeval qi, assuming the guise of someone ordinary again. Despite the absence of any discernible aura, he seemed intimidating.

He Junyang also slumped on the desert sand like a dead dog, trembling, failing to believe his eyes.

Zhong Li was a Yuanfu realm expert but had been defeated in one move.

The swiftness of the outcome, coupled with the absence of an actual battle, left He Junyang dumbfounded.

“Impossible!” Yang Feng roared.

They had come to the Black Sea Desert quite aggressively after Zhong Li had made his breakthrough, planning to crush Wang Fuchen and seize the Ice Jade Snow Lotus. Unexpectedly, they had come face to face with Chen Fan and Qin Yao at the fringe of the desert.

They had believed they could easily subdue the pair, extract information about Wang Fuchen, force Chen Fan to surrender his acquired opportunities, and make him their dog.

However, He Junyang was first defeated in one move.

Anticipating Zhong Li's dominance over Chen Fan, they were stunned when he, too, succumbed in a single move, his head pressed into the sand beneath Chen Fan's foot.

The reality exceeded their mental capacity to comprehend.

In just one exchange, one move, Zhong Li was decisively defeated and humiliated.

What had they just witnessed?

A pair of wings had sprouted on Chen Fan’s back, allowing him to traverse the skies—a power that only Yuanfu realm powerhouses had.

Yang Feng and Bing Ye’s hearts were in a mess.

Not good. Quickly leave! This was the only thought in Yang Feng’s heart.

However, just as he was about to run away, a primeval qi attack darted through the air, knocking him and Bing Ye to the ground.

A primeval qi arm caught the two and brought them over, pressing them against the ground, like Zhong Li and He Junyang.

The tables had turned instantly.

Zhong Li’s group of four had come with fierce momentum, surrounding Chen Fan and threatening to beat and kill him. However, moments later, all four were sequentially subdued and trodden beneath Chen Fan's feet, turning into a laughingstock.

“Zhong Li, your strength is a joke, so all you had to be that arrogant was your ability to fly? Do you understand that I can kill you hundreds of times over with just a snap of my fingers?”

Chen Fan laughed coldly and said, “You pale in comparison to Wang Fuchen. He, at least, could make me fight seriously. You... aren’t even a good warm-up. And you want me to become your dog? You've overestimated yourself.”

“Damn it, Chen Fan, do you know you’re courting death by acting like this? It's a blatant death wish! Do you know what the words Heaven’s Alliance signify? Do you know how terrifying Senior Brother Duan Jingtian is? Do you know...” Yang Feng, on the ground, contorted his expression, belying unwavering arrogance despite being terrified.

Despite his subjugation, he continued to boast, calling the names of Heaven’s Alliance and Duan Jingtian to bolster his courage and attempt to intimidate Chen Fan.

Bing Ye, the slightly pretty one, also found her expression twisting, and she shrieked, “That’s right, Chen Fan! Let us go right now. Apologize, and compensate us. Offer the Ice Jade Snow Lotus, and we can forgive you this once. If not, your misfortune will begin from this very moment. Even your family and clan will be implicated in this.

“You definitely can’t afford to offend the Heaven’s Alliance. Not only do disciples from both the inner and outer sects work for the alliance but even some elders with significant status align with us. Also, don’t forget about the number one holy disciple of the inner sect, the exceptional Senior Brother Duan Jingtian, destined to lead the Spring Autumn Sect.

“You offending us is equal to offending the Heaven’s Alliance, which means you’ve offended Senior Brother Duan Jingtian. It’s a show of great disrespect to Senior Brother Duan Jingtian. There will be no sanctuary for you in heaven or earth.

"We're willing to offer you a chance to join the Heaven’s Alliance. Serve our cause, work under Senior Brother Duan Jingtian, and redeem yourself!"

“Are you done?”

Chen Fan looked at the blabbering Yang Feng and Bing Ye, his eyes filled with ridicule. “You’re still trying to make threats and promises when you are eating sand before the Grim Reaper? You seem accustomed to flaunting your authority under Duan Jingtian's name as a Heaven’s Alliance member, disregarding all others.”

“What are you trying to do?!” Bing Ye shrieked when she noticed Chen Fan's indifference to their words.

“What am I doing?”

Chen Fan laughed coldly as his terrifying aura surged. “Weren’t you people going to cripple my cultivation and kill me? I’ll do precisely that... but to you guys.”

“You dare! We’re Heaven’s Alliance members, backed by Senior Brother Duan Jingtian. We are also descendants of prominent martial clans, we—”

“Shut up!”

Chen Fan shouted coldly, “Your words won't alter your fate. The moment you plotted against Senior Sister, your destiny was sealed. Being part of the Heaven’s Alliance won't save you. I've dealt with one of your kind before. Having Duan Jingtian in your corner won't change anything; I'll surpass him sooner or later and trample him under my foot.”

“Is that right?”

A chilling yet authoritative voice suddenly reverberated through the air.

“This is... this is Senior Brother Duan Jingtian’s voice!”

Zhong Li and the others were momentarily stunned, then erupted into excitement. Their jubilation knew no bounds.

“Haha, that’s unmistakably Senior Brother Duan Jingtian's voice!”

“You’re done for, little bastard, haha. You’re finished! You've sealed your fate! No matter where you hide, death awaits you. Release us now, kneel, cripple your cultivation, surrender your acquired fortunes, and willingly become our servant.”

“Haha, little bastard, I’ll make you eat a thousand jin, no, ten thousand jin of dog shit! I’ll turn you into a dog with a penchant for eating filth!”

Zhong Li and the others' expressions had turned savage again, erupting into wild laughter.

Conversely, Chen Fan's expression darkened instantly.

Duan Jingtian’s voice.

How overbearing Duan Jingtian was.

Chen Fan knew that those outside could see everything happening here, but he hadn't anticipated Duan Jingtian to speak out when even Zhuo Bufan remained silent.

The icy cold voice exuded indifference and authority, making it clear that challenging Duan Jingtian's might was not an option.

Duan Jingtian was a formidable figure—a legend, an object of admiration for countless individuals.

......

Dragon Mountain Peak:

Duan Jingtian looked at the images in the primeval mirror with a cold expression.

Chen Fan had dared to attack his Heaven’s Alliance members.

Moreover, his words and actions completely held Heaven’s Alliance and him in disregard—a direct challenge to his authority.

In the whole of the Spring Autumn Sect, who dared to challenge his prestige?

Thus, he spoke out earlier.

Even though this was a training held jointly by the four great sects in Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, and no one was allowed to interfere during the training, he did that regardless, speaking up.

The rules were in place to restrain Zhuo Bufan, Leng Feng, and the others, but it didn’t matter to him.

He was Duan Jingtian, that’s why!
