Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 443 - Another Person

Chen Fan couldn't help but marvel at the depth of the merit elder's martial art. Cultivating an external incarnation was a feat beyond belief, effectively doubling his strength.

Immediately, several killing moves came blasting violently.

“Nine Yin Hand!”

“Endless Falling Jade!”

“Fire Dragon Qigong!”

“Invincible Thunderbolt!”

Four radiant streaks shot out, each representing a devastating martial skill of unparalleled might.

With over a century of experience in qi cultivation, the merit elder's mastery of these techniques was unparalleled. His execution was smooth and powerful, each strike imbued with explosive force.

“Undefeated King’s Fist!”

“Northern Star Reaper Hand!”

In response, Chen Fan unleashed his own formidable attacks. Three heads and six arms materialized behind him, delivering ferocious blows that reverberated through space, causing explosions.

Chen Fan had a fraction of the merit elder’s cultivation experience, but he wasn’t any weaker than his opponent. After all, strength wasn’t decided by time spent cultivating.

In every era, there were those rare individuals known as geniuses, whose ascent resembled the rising sun. They cultivated quickly and could jump ranks to challenge those at a higher cultivation level.

Chen Fan was one such genius, and not merely a genius, but a standout among them.

Rumble!

Their clash ignited a deafening explosion. The space stirred, and whirlwinds swept everywhere.

“You damned little beast. You advanced to the sixth level in just three months?! Truly impressive," the merit elder admitted begrudgingly, his tone tinged with astonishment.

“Cut the nonsense!” Chen Fan suddenly vanished from sight, only to reappear before the merit elder’s incarnation. He unleashed a palm strike at it.

“If it wasn’t for your tremendous ‘support,’ giving me a treasure like the Divine Stone of Life, I wouldn’t have gotten strong so quickly, Merit Elder. You've played a significant role in my growth.

“How about this, Merit Elder, Duan Jingtian will surely die. No one can change that. You can submit to me right now, and become my lackey. I can spare your worthless life in return.”

Chen Fan blew up the incarnation’s true primeval with punches and palm strikes, forcing it to fall back repeatedly. It was only an incarnation, after all.

Although the incarnation was at the early stage of the seventh level, Chen Fan’s combat strength was much higher than that. So, the incarnation could not compete with him.

Chen Fan’s proposal infuriated the merit elder.

Be his lackey?

Spare his worthless life?

“Cut the crap, you little beast. I’ll take your worthless life today. Die!”

The merit elder unleashed another palm strike, meeting Chen Fan’s attack.

“So, you are determined to seek death, then. Fine, I’ll grant your wish, Merit Elder!” Chen Fan said coldly.

He unleashed his cultivation fully, and his four illusory golden cores also erupted. His aura skyrocketed, as did his combat strength. He sent the merit elder flying with a palm strike, making him cough up blood.

“Merit Elder, did you presume you can defeat me simply because you can cast an incarnation? Very well, I’ll cut down this external incarnation of yours first, then break your arms before killing you. Your martial art has piqued my interest," Chen Fan declared, suddenly turning around like an eagle hunting a rabbit, pouncing at the incarnation ferociously. The gale swept like waves, layer after layer, surging with strength.

He knew that the clan assassination was due to Duan Jingtian and the others’ scheme, but that didn’t mean that his clan was no longer in danger. It would be a disaster if they made a move on the clan during this period.

Gripping the iron spear tightly, Chen Fan thrust forward with unparalleled ferocity. The space produced a pop sound as if it had been pierced through.

The external incarnation had intelligence, so it could sense the imminent danger. It channeled its qi furiously, forming a stone tablet of true primeval, and sent it flying toward Chen Fan.

“Petty tricks!” Chen Fan smiled coldly, pressing on with his attack undeterred.

The iron spear stabbed the true primeval stone tablet. After a thud, cracking noises could be heard as the stone tablet cracked all over.

The primeval stone tablet shattered into fragments, its pieces shooting out in all directions violently.

“Retreat!” The merit elder’s qi and blood surged as he finally grasped the gravity of the situation.

Opening his mouth, he spat a domain into the air, materializing into a huge mountain and a long river, bearing down on Chen Fan.

But before the domain could fully oppress him, Chen Fan vanished once more.

Puchi.

With a swift motion, Chen Fan's spear sliced through the air, cleanly severing the head of the merit elder's external incarnation. The head soared into the sky, detached from its body without a drop of blood spilled.

Pfft!

With his incarnation dead, the merit elder also suffered a backlash. His true primeval went into disarray, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“What other tricks do you have up your sleeves, Merit Elder? Your external incarnation is already killed. I’m sure you suffered quite the severe backlash, hehe, tell me, how do you want to die?”

Chen Fan’s voice entered the merit elder’s ears, shaking up his heart and mind.

He had underestimated the task of intercepting and killing Chen Fan

After all, he was a grand elder of the Spring Autumn Sect at the peak of the seventh level. Moreover, he could materialize an external incarnation; overall, the elder was strong enough to fight those at the early stage of the eighth level.

However, Chen Fan destroyed his external incarnation, making him suffer a backlash and greatly weakening him. He was in danger now.

Chen Fan wasn’t a merciful person. If he said he would kill him, then he would do it. The merit elder would die for naught.

“Hmph, I admit that I’ve underestimated you, you little bastard. But if you think you can kill me, then you’re dreaming!” said the Merit Elder with an icy voice.

Chen Fan laughed coldly and said, “We’ll find out soon enough whether I’m dreaming or not.”

His strength thoroughly erupted. His aura shook heaven and earth, as he thrust his spear toward the merit elder.

The merit elder felt as though he had been plunged into the depths of hell, facing the grim specter of death itself.

Paralyzed by fear, he struggled to muster his true primeval, resigned to his impending death.

Suddenly, an icy voice rang out behind Chen Fan, sending a shiver down his spine.

“Hmph, truly a useless trash. You can’t even handle a little bastard!”

Chen Fan whirled around, his spear redirected in a sudden motion, aimed not at the Merit Elder, but at the unexpected intruder.
