Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 555 - Fire Ape Territory

“Don’t you leave, you bastard! Forget about escaping, you’re dead for sure today! You hurt me, you deeply wounded me, I’ll rip you into a thousand pieces!” Nie Tao’s furious roar shook the lands, echoing through the universe. The air exploded non-stop from his roar.

This battle against Nie Tao had been arduous for Chen Fan.

For the first time, he felt the agony of being overpowered like this, forced to resort to trickery to cripple Nie Tao's arm and create a chance for escape.

However, Nie Tao was relentless. Pushing his speed to the limit, he chased Chen Fan without pause. He was dead set on killing him.

The pursuit went on from daytime into the night. They alternated between chasing, stopping, and fighting, repeating the cycle endlessly.

Despite losing his left arm, Nie Tao’s fighting prowess was still ridiculously high. Chen Fan couldn't gain any advantage.

In this tragic pursuit, Chen Fan’s Wings of Rain Dragon almost became bare, with hardly any feathers left on them. He was covered in wounds and blood, with countless broken bones. His freakish recovery speed could no longer keep up with the rate of his injuries, leaving him a bloody mess.

Nie Tao wasn’t faring much better. His complexion was pale from blood loss due to his severe injury.

His left arm was destroyed, a sight too horrible to bear. He would be a one-armed man in the future.

However, his cultivation realm was higher than Chen Fan’s. Thus, his situation was still much better.

“Insane, he must be freaking insane. He’s been chasing for a whole day and night, and he’s still not letting up!” Chen Fan cursed.

During this period, they fought occasionally, only increasing their injuries. Still, Nie Tao was unwilling to let him go, chasing him down like a madman.

Chen Fan didn’t even know where he could run to now.

Nie Tao was like a rabid dog, relentlessly hunting Chen Fan with a single thought: kill Chen Fan.

Chen Fan had already done all he could.

If it wasn’t for his foundation being ten times that of martial artists in the same cultivation realm, his true primeval would have been drained long ago, and he would have succumbed to Nie Tao’s attacks.

Now, he could barely keep his Wings of Rain Dragon flapping.

“Chen Fan, you bastard, you won’t get away! I will definitely kill you! You dare to inflict such a grievous wound on me, I’ll kill you even if you run to the ends of the world and make you die without a grave!” Nie Tao roared furiously, staring resentfully at Chen Fan’s back.

Nie Tao had never anticipated that fighting Chen Fan would result in such a significant loss, especially losing an arm. If he couldn’t kill Chen Fan, the trauma would likely hinder his progress in the future.

“Only your blood and your life can wash away the shame you’ve caused me and atone for your sins!”

This was his heart demon; he had to remove it.

“Heck, are you crazy? It’s just an arm! How cool would it be to be a one-armed warrior! Besides, you tried to kill me first!” Chen Fan, overwhelmed with frustration, couldn’t help but curse out loud. “You damned bastard, if I escape, I’ll make sure to wipe out your pathetic Battle Heaven Alliance and show you what happens when you mess with me!”

Chen Fan knew that this would only add fuel to the fire, but he was just too frustrated. Never in his life had he been chased like this. Overwhelming anger had built up inside him.

“Hmph, what shameless boasting. Tomorrow will never come for you. You won’t escape from me. I’ll make sure to kill you!” Nie Tao roared furiously, his killing intent as fierce as ever. It underscored his hatred for Chen Fan.

He raised his arm and sent out a palm strike as he roared. It transformed into a mountainous palm seal, pressing ruthlessly toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan beat his Wings of Rain Dragon frantically, setting off a hurricane that wrapped around him. He flew across the sky like a streak of light, flitting close to a kilometer away.

Rumble!

Nie Tao’s palm strike crumbled a mountain peak below. The vibrations opened a large crevice. Despite having exhausted a huge amount of his stamina, his strength remained terrifying.

He panted heavily, having depleted a large amount of his energy in that attack earlier.

The day and night of continuous pursuit was also very exhausting for a five-revolution Golden Core realm expert like him. Anyone else would have long since given up.

However, Nie Tao loathed Chen Fan. He had to kill Chen Fan to appease his hatred. This abhorrence had been fueling for the last twenty-four hours.

He had never suffered such a huge loss.

He had never suffered such a significant loss or humiliation, which drove him to madness. He had to kill Chen Fan.

By now, both parties were competing in terms of their willpower.

They were both very exhausted, teetering on the edge of collapse. Whoever faltered first would lose.

Yet, both were incredibly strong-willed.

Nie Tao was resolute in killing Chen Fan to wash away his shame, while Chen Fan was trying to escape, and would return for revenge when he grew stronger.

Suddenly, the ferocious roars of a beast came from the valley far ahead. Its roars turned into sound waves and swept out, knocking over a large swathe of trees.

Waves of terrifying demon qi rose to the sky. Those roars alone could strike fear into the hearts of three or four-revolution Golden Core realm experts.

Very powerful demonic beasts existed in the mountain valley ahead.

From afar, Chen Fan could see over a hundred giant apes in that mountain valley. These apes were engulfed in flames, emitting incredibly formidable auras.

Fire Apes! Chen Fan immediately recognized these demonic beasts. And there was a whole band of them here.

Chen Fan’s gaze flickered intensely.

A band of Fire Apes was ahead, while Nie Tao was chasing relentlessly from behind. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, with no room to advance or to retreat.

“To hell with it!”

Gritting his teeth, Chen Fan didn’t stop. Instead, he sped up, rushing toward the band of Fire Apes. Danger also held the chance of survival.

The Wings of Rain Dragon beat furiously, generating another hurricane that wrapped around him. He sped into the mountain valley like a bolt of lightning.

The strengths of those hundred or so Fire Apes varied.

The strong one, like that Fire Ape King, was comparable to a human five-revolution Golden Core expert, while the weak ones were only equivalent to Yuanfu realm experts.

He had rushed in thinking that Nie Tao would give up the chase due to the Fire Apes. However, he heard the sound of Nie Tao speeding through the air behind him, leaving him speechless.

He had already risked his life by intruding on the Fire Apes’ territory, and Nie Tao was still not letting him go. Was he really intent on mutual destruction?
