Chapter 578 - Ye Cangxuan
Chapter 578 - Ye Cangxuan
“Hoho, the battle has already started!”
Li Yao arrived with Heaven’s Equal Alliance members. The first thing he saw was Chen Fan caught in a perilous situation, attacked by Yin Jiu and the others from three sides.
“What an incredible display. He has already killed so many Battle Heaven Alliance members!” Li Yao remarked, observing the numerous corpses of Battle Heaven Alliance members scattered on the ground.
Despite their swift arrival, they had missed the initial clash where Chen Fan had already taken down so many of the Battle Heaven Alliance’s elite members.
Chen Fan was facing Yin Jiu and the others’ three-pronged attack, but he did not show the slightest hint of panic on his face.
He swiftly countered with the Purgatory Divine Halberd. The halberd’s light, like the Milky Way spanning the heavens, shattered the spear qi with overwhelming force.
Rumble!
With a loud explosion, the halberd light crushed the spear qi and swept it aside.
Chen Fan’s divine halberd continued its descent like a lightning bolt, cleaving through a seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert and splitting him in two.
Another seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert perished on the spot.
Simultaneously, Chen Fan unleashed the Undefeated King’s Fist. Three heads and six arms appeared, delivering relentless blows in every direction.
Numerous terrifying streams of fist qi rushed out like flood dragons, carrying incomparably ferocious and berserk force that could shatter the stars.
It sent the other seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert flying. He spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood and flew back like a bird with its wings clipped, crashed into a mountain, and made it crumble, leaving his fate uncertain.
Chen Fan simultaneously held the Purgatory Divine Halberd in front of him, defending himself.
Clang!
Yin Jiu’s terrifying ax came down, and an incomparably terrifying force erupted that sent Chen Fan flying, his arm somewhat numb.
Chen Fan had cut down a seven-revolution Golden Core and heavily injured the other. However, Yin Jiu and the others’ combined attacks were flawless. He did not have any time to defend against Yin Jiu’s ax and could only hastily use the Purgatory Divine Halberd to defend himself.
Yin Jiu was an eight-revolution Golden Core realm expert, so his attacks were terrifyingly strong. Chen Fan’s physique was tough, but the attack still sent him flying back, his qi and blood shaken and tumbling violently.
Although Chen Fan was sent flying, the crowd still found it incredible.
After all, Chen Fan had just withstood the combined attack of two seven-revolution and one eight-revolution Golden Core realm experts. An eight-revolution Golden Core realm expert could do the same but not without earning themselves some severe injuries. Also, they couldn’t possibly take down two seven-revolution Golden Core realm experts while doing so.
That underscored Chen Fan’s terrifying strength.
As Chen Fan was flying backward, unable to steady himself just yet, he saw a sinister smile on Yin Jiu’s face.
An incomparably intense deadly crisis suddenly enveloped Chen Fan, making his expression change drastically in an instant.
Chla!
A faint wind-breaking noise rang out from behind.
He felt as if a grim reaper was standing behind him, swiping his scythe toward his neck.
“Not good!” Chen Fan did not have time to think and immediately unleashed a streak of Green Lotus Sword Qi.
Boom, tch!
This streak of Green Lotus Sword Qi flew out from his back and struck the trident about to stab him from behind.
Rumble!
A terrifying rumbling noise rang out.
A deafening rumble erupted, and a storm of unimaginable force swept out as if an atomic bomb had exploded. It pounded on Chen Fan, causing his protective true primeval aura to shatter repeatedly.
Swish!
Borrowing the momentum, Chen Fan quickly flew away in the opposite direction.
As he did, he noticed a figure wielding a trident emerging from the storm.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone. The crowd broke out into a commotion at once.
“Who is he?”
“My god, what incredible strength... He’s also an eight-revolution Golden Core realm invincible expert!”
“It’s him! He is... Ye Cangxuan!”
“What? He’s the Black Dragon Empire’s number one genius, Ye Cangxuan?!”
“No way. Why is he with the Battle Heaven Alliance, going as far as to launch a sneak attack on Chen Fan?”
“Ye Cangxuan has been missing since the start of the hundred-day trial. No one had seen him, and we all forgot about him. I can’t believe he’s appeared now!”
“......”
Ye Cangxuan’s sudden and unexpected appearance was shocking, especially since there had been no news of him for so long. His attack on Chen Fan would have almost been fatal if not for Chen Fan's immediate and powerful counterstrike
Now, everyone was puzzled. Why had Ye Cangxuan targeted Chen Fan? Was it to claim the Martial Dao Will fragment or the ancient scripture page in his possession?
“Ye Cangxuan...” Li Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Ye Cangxuan.
The Black Dragon Empire was ranked within the top three among the six great nations, and Ye Cangxuan was the Black Dragon Empire’s number one genius. How could Li Yao not have heard of him?
However, like everyone else, he hadn’t heard any news regarding Ye Cangxuan since the start of the trial, thus he forgot about Ye Cangxuan.
If it weren’t for his sudden appearance, Li Yao probably would not have thought about him even after the trial ended.
“This guy hid himself well! I’d heard that the Battle Heaven Alliance had two alliance leaders, known as the two kings, but since the trial began, I only saw Yin Jiu.” Li Yao’s eyes flickered.
Although he couldn’t recall where he had heard this information, the Battle Heaven Alliance had always been associated with Yin Jiu alone, so he had dismissed the claim
From the looks of things now, the Battle Heaven Alliance truly had two alliance leaders, though Ye Cangxuan had hidden himself too deeply as the other leader.
“Ye Cangxuan probably practiced an extremely formidable aura concealment technique. He even fooled me. Even I couldn’t sense him until now. His timing was also impeccable. If it wasn’t for that sword qi... Wait, is that the secret technique recorded on his ancient scripture page?” Li Yao’s gaze shifted onto Chen Fan again.
Each of the five participants had obtained a page of the ancient scripture, each containing a heaven-tier martial art. Chen Fan had used a sword qi in that critical moment, which Li Yao suspected was connected to the technique recorded on his page.
Li Yao quickly pieced together the situation.
