Chapter 52 - Battling Fei Kuang
With Zhong Li pleading for Fei Kuang, even the Outer Sect Master would have to give him face, let alone the Grand Elder, Su Yuntian.
“Fine. Just this once. No more chances,” Su Yuntian said, nodding.
Within the Spring Autumn Sect, the Heaven’s Alliance had significant influence, as it even had many elder-level figures in its ranks.
Furthermore, the sect master of the Spring Autumn Sect favored Duan Jingtian, making him the likely successor to the sect master position.
“Still not apologizing for your mistake?!” Zhong Li shouted coldly at Fei Kuang.
Fei Kuang's expression darkened slightly. He reluctantly apologized, “I was wrong, Grand Elder.”
“Mmm. Step down from the stage, then. Let's not delay the competition,” Su Yuntian said indifferently. He had no goodwill left for him, as Fei Kuang had dared oppose him, going as far as to use the Heaven’s Alliance to threaten him.
“Hold on a moment!”
A voice suddenly rang out.
“What do you have to say?” Su Yuntian asked, looking at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan stepped forward and looked coldly at Fei Kuang. He smirked and said, “Grand Elder, since he is so eager to kill me that he would disregard the sect rules, why not let me fight him right here, right now? Consider him my opponent for the next round.”
“Hmm?”
Fei Kuang’s eyes immediately lit up, and he blurted, “Please grant this request, Grand Elder!”
He couldn't contain his eagerness. Had Su Yuntian not intervened earlier, he would have killed Chen Fan and used his fresh blood to defend the prestige of the Heaven's Alliance.
“Are you sure?” Su Yuntian frowned, looking at Chen Fan.
“I’m sure.” Chen Fan nodded.
“Fine, since you’ve requested it yourself. I’ll allow it.” Su Yuntian said.
A sharp light flashed across Chen Fan’s eyes. “Then I must implore the Grand Elder to oversee this fight in case certain individuals disregard everything and attempt to interfere if this person faces a life or death crisis.”
Heaven Flipping Hand was a technique that reversed the natural order. Chen Fan felt his head had grown heavy and his feet light as if he had been turned upside down.
“Haha, this is Senior Brother Fei Kuang’s specialty: Heaven Flipping Hand, an upper-dirt tier martial art. It turns the world topsy-turvy, reversing the positions of the moon and the sun. The entire universe seems to return to chaos, crushing everything into dust.”
“This is the power of the Heaven’s Alliance. That damned bastard seems like an ant now that Senior Brother Fei Kuang has made his move. He dares to kill a member of our Heaven's Alliance—a blatant provocation. He must die!”
“That’s for sure. Only our Heaven's Alliance has the right to bully others, and they can never fight back. Anyone who dares to oppose us must die, especially if they kill a member of our Heaven's Alliance. They shouldn’t even get a chance to reincarnate!”
The nearby Heaven’s Alliance members smiled coldly. Their conversation revealed the extent of their hubris and tyranny.
“Hmph, restore heaven and earth!”
Chen Fan felt a terrifying force trying to squash him. He witnessed heaven and earth merging, returning to a state of primeval chaos as if the world was being recreated.
However, he knew that this was merely an illusion.
He trembled, and primeval qi surged to his fists. He unleashed a rapid series of punches, shattering the illusion of heaven and earth with more than ten strikes.
“Is this all, Fei Kuang? It's nothing special. Take this punch!”
Chen Fan’s primeval qi surged, channeling the strength of the Myriad Elephants Divine Art. With a resounding boom, a powerful punch shook the surroundings. The force behind the punch erupted, destroying everything ahead.
“Damn rogue!”
Fei Kuang could never have imagined that Chen Fan possessed such devastating power.
He had assumed that Chen Fan's strength was, at most, at the eighth level, but that clearly wasn’t the case.
“Looks like you are finally revealing your true strength. Sadly, it’s useless. No one can save you. I will show you why I am known as a maniac. It's not just because of my personality but because of my strength. My strength gives me the right to be arrogant!"
A cold light flashed in Fei Kuang’s eyes. With a loud clang, the sound of a long blade being unsheathed rang out. Simultaneously, his primeval qi ignited, causing the temperature in the surroundings to skyrocket.
“You should feel honored to meet your demise under my profound tier cultivation technique—Raging Flames Great Cultivation Technique. Taste the blade, Heavenly Net Massacre!”
He swung his violently; instantly, a brilliant blade light engulfed the area.
These streaks of terrifying blade light were incredibly sharp, capable of slicing through heaven and earth, and enveloped in raging flames, obliterating everything in their path.
The burning blade light resembled a spider's web, layered and densely packed. They formed a vast net, slicing through space, scorching the air, and enveloping Chen Fan.
The Heavenly Net Massacre left no passage to the heavens nor any path to the depths of the earth.
