Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 638 - Getting Rid of the Snakes

Withered Old Devil and Tianshan Childish Granny were stricken with fear, their thoughts already turning toward retreat.

They were infamous old devils who had dominated the Great Qin Empire for over a century. Their very names were enough to strike terror into the hearts of most. But now, for the first time, they themselves were the ones terrified... of Chen Fan.

This had never happened before!

However, Chen Fan did not intend to allow them to regret their choices.

Some people only learned through harsh lessons, and on the unforgiving Ancient Trial Road, Chen Fan needed to assert his dominance. With the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm about to open, he had to make an example of these so-called experts to prevent further trouble when he entered the ruins.

“It’s your turn next!” Chen Fan looked at Withered Old Devil and Tianshan Childish Granny indifferently. The murderous qi around him formed a gale, howling and thoroughly shrouding the two, making them feel a chill all over.

A sense of dread washed over the pair.

The three of them had killed many with ease and without remorse, spreading their infamy far and wide. However, neither could confidently say they had the strength to take down the other. And now, they had just watched Chen Fan kill Iron-armored Old Man with terrifying ease.

Boom, boom!

Before they could act, Chen Fan moved.

The space shook as if the lord of heaven was enraged. Chen Fan charged straight ahead, causing a chain of explosions in the air, his momentum incomparably ferocious.

“Die!” Chen Fan violently stabbed at the Withered Old Devil. It was as if the heavens would collapse by the inch under this attack. Withered Old Devil was nearly paralyzed under the terrifying pressure, his movements sluggish, completely restrained by the aura.

Simultaneously, Chen Fan thrust his left palm violently. A gigantic golden palm covered the sky, ruthlessly suppressing Tianshan Childish Granny.

A large area of the space instantly collapsed, trying to bury Tianshan Childish Granny.

“You abominable brat, you’re too arrogant!”

Withered Old Devil and Tianshan Childish Granny were both furious beyond words.

The audacity of Chen Fan, attacking them both at once, was beyond infuriating. Killing Iron-armored Old Man didn’t give him the right to be this bold in front of them!

With a snarl, Withered Old Devil brandished a demonic saber, dark qi swirling around it. Channeling his cultivation to the limit, he unleashed a devastating slash.

The earth trembled, and the image of a monstrous devil loomed ominously.

On the other hand, Tianshan Childish Granny gripped a cane with a chilling skull at its top, its eerie presence enough to make anyone’s skin crawl.

She violently thrust the cane toward the gigantic golden palm. The space seemed to be shattered. A terrifying force erupted, cracking the gigantic golden palm open by the inch.

Chen Fan ignored it, however. The Purgatory Divine Halberd shattered the approaching devil silhouette, then slammed down violently. A crisp clang rang out, and the demonic qi on the demonic saber in Withered Old Devil’s hand was dispersed.

Immediately afterward, the sound of bone breaking rang out.

Crack, crack, crack.

The bones in Withered Old Devil’s arms shattered. Unable to withstand Chen Fan’s blow, his hands were crushed.

Such was the terrifying might of the Hegemonic Golden Body. Not only was it impenetrable, but the strength it held was also overwhelming.

As Tianshan Childish Granny’s cane slammed into him, it was as though the hardest metal in the heavens had collided with him.

Clang!

The sound of the cane striking Chen Fan echoed like metal against metal, but the result was far from what Tianshan Childish Granny had expected.

Chen Fan remained still, golden light shimmering around him, his indomitable aura undisturbed. The recoil from the failed strike tore the webbing of her hand, leaving her stunned.

“How could this happen?” Tianshan Childish Granny was scared out of her wits, her eyeballs trembling chaotically.

Her cane was a Grade-5 treasure. It could pulverize anything in its path. Not even iron could withstand its force, yet it barely made a mark on Chen Fan.

“Hmph, not even qualified to scratch my itch!”

Pulling his hand back, Chen Fan grabbed Tianshan Childish Granny’s cane. As he put some force into his grip, the Grade-5 treasure shattered. Tianshan Childish Granny was scared out of her wit and retreated in a hurry.

“Scary! Too scary!”

“Is he even a human? He is like a god or a devil’s incarnate! My god! How did he cultivate something so monstrous?”

“It’s no wonder he can fight a fifth-level Divine Nascent realm expert. His physique is too frightening. He’s simply inhuman.”

The crowd was left speechless, their shock palpable.

Even Xiao Yan, Seventh Young Master, and the other elite onlookers narrowed their eyes, watching Chen Fan with an intensity that reflected the disbelief flickering within them.

“Die!” Chen Fan clawed out. The Northern Star Reaper Hand covered the sky. The massive hand, with its three sky-piercing fingers, descended like a harbinger of death, exuding an aura of annihilation. The sheer pressure made the air tremble.

Withered Old Devil, already broken in body and spirit from Chen Fan’s earlier assault, was utterly defenseless. His shattered arms hung limp, and his mind was clouded by fear.

He also didn’t expect Chen Fan to be unfazed by Tianshan Childish Granny’s attack. In an instant, he was struck and became a mist of blood. Not even his divine nascent managed to escape.

Behind Chen Fan, Tianshan Childish Granny let out a shriek of pure terror.

The deaths of Iron-armored Old Man and Withered Old Devil—two fearsome figures renowned for their savagery—had reduced her to a trembling wreck. In front of Chen Fan, their vicious reputations were meaningless. Compared to his merciless methods, they were nothing.

She turned to flee, but Chen Fan moved like a whirlwind, his figure a blur of unstoppable force. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before her, cutting off her escape.

Tianshan Childish Granny’s face was filled with horror.

Chen Fan was too terrifying. This was an absolute killing god. Why did she have to mess with such a killing god?

However, she no longer had the chance to regret it. She couldn’t even resist and was blown up by Chen Fan with a palm strike, leaving no corpse behind.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

Martial artists who had been watching were frozen in place, their mouths agape in disbelief. The only sound was the collective gasps as they struggled to comprehend what they had just witnessed.

Chen Fan was truly too terrifying. He had killed three old devils who had dominated the Great Qin Empire like he had killed three ants.

Who would still dare to look down on Chen Fan’s second-level Divine Nascent realm cultivation?

The three peerless old devils were experts in the fifth-level Divine Nascent realm. They had roamed the world unhindered for centuries and made great names for themselves. However, today, they messed with a frightening foe and were met with a tragic end.

Finally, the crowd understood why the Third Dragon Lord had to retreat back then.

Although Chen Fan’s cultivation level was low, his combat strength was incomparably terrifying. He was most likely not any inferior to the Third Dragon Lord.
