Unrivaled Martial Emperor

In stark contrast to the cheering crowds on the Tianwu Continent, the Tianxuan, Ziyang, Tianhun, and several other continents were silent.

Earlier, their people had watched with pride as their examinees formed the Clean-up Alliance and swept through the Tianwu Continent's examinees, forcing them to flee and hide. At the time, they had felt the same thrill Tianwu's people were now experiencing.

But then came the turning point: Ji Feixue and Ye Yuanming's team was crushed by Huang Wuji's group in the southeastern rainforest. Everyone had been slain except Ji Feixue, who escaped once he realized things had gone south.

Among these people were their disciples, their family, and their friends.

They were all killed by Huang Wuji's group just like that, their blood dyeing the rainforest red.

Their joy plummeted into despair, the kind that left no room for recovery.

Now, the alliance no longer had a numerical advantage. Although they still had three Greater Legends, that wasn't enough to resist Chen Fan's group. And what about the rest of the Alliance?

Could they survive a direct assault?

Fear gripped them.

Chen Fan's group no longer had to hide. Instead, they could now move openly and strike back.

Could the alliance withstand the full force of this counterattack?

Many Legends and even Void Immortal Supremes of continents like the Tianxuan and Ziyang continents cursed out loud.

"Fools! Those people are a bunch of fools! They saw through the schemes of Chen Fan's group, but still didn't head to the rainforest. Play cat and mouse? Those brainless idiots! They brought this on themselves. Nincompoops!"

"How regretful. Those dolts are about to drive the alliance into the ground. Now, they've lost their advantage, and are just waiting for the enemies to come knocking on their doors!"

Back in the test grounds, at the Clean-up Alliance's base camp, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Everyone was feeling dejected, and their heads were down.

The hunters had now become the hunted.

Their prey had suddenly turned into ferocious tigers and bared their sharp claws at them, seeking vengeance.

This sudden change was hard for the people to accept.

"Luo Hao, Jiang Xian, you idiots! If not for you, Ye Yuanming and the others wouldn't have been wiped out. You single-handedly ruined our advantage. You're sinners, a bunch of sinners!" Ji Feixue cursed at Luo Hao, Jiang Xian, and the others.

Had he not fled fast enough, he too would've died in the southeastern rainforest.

Jiang Xian, Luo Hao, and the others' expressions were ugly. They immediately retorted sarcastically, "We are fools, but what about you, Ji Feixue? You abandoned your comrades and ran. You coward, traitor! If you'd gone all out and helped Ye Yuanming, he might still be alive. So would the rest of our brothers!"

"You dare blame me? Screw you! Despite knowing that Chen Fan's group was just bait, you guys decided to play a game of cat and mouse. Would Ye Yuanming have died if you hadn't wasted time and rushed over to the southeastern rainforest? None of this would've happened then! Ye Yuanming wouldn't be dead, and neither would the rest. Huang Wuji's team would've been the ones buried. This mess is on you!"

"On us? Enough with your nonsense! We already did our best. I didn't expect your side to lose so quickly and so badly. Everyone else died, but you, Ji Feixue, didn't lose even a strand of your hair. Makes us wonder if you were in on it with Huang Wuji, Chen Fan, and the others!"

"What did you say? Say that again, you bastard!"

"So what if I do?"

"Enough!" Jiang Xian shouted. The clashing auras between Ji Feixue and Luo Hao instantly froze.

"What's the point of quarreling? Our men are dead, and we are severely weakened. We no longer have an advantage. Arguing until the sky falls won't change that. Do you want the alliance to collapse entirely? This isn't the time for petty squabbles! We need to focus on how to survive their counterattack and avenge our fallen comrades."

Ji Feixue and Luo Hao's auras subsided, but they still glared at each other coldly. They snorted coldly and sat down.

"Then tell us, what now? We have lost half our men. Ye Yuanming died, and the immortal artifact is also gone. Even with the three of us joining hands, I'm afraid we can barely resist Huang Wuji equipped with an immortal artifact.

"Chen Fan's side may have fewer Lesser Legendary experts, but their overall strength is just as strong. On top of that, they have immortal artifacts. If we clash head-on, we'll lose"

"So we can't afford to act selfishly anymore. We need to unite completely and fight as one."

"There's no other way."

......

Meanwhile, in a lively valley, Chen Fan's group was resting.

"Hahahaha, this battle was awesome. I haven't had so much fun in a long time."

"Yeah, enough of being hunted. Going forward, let's give those bastards of the Clean-up Alliance a taste of what it's like to be hunted down."

"Chen Fan, Huang Wuji, now that the alliance is severely weakened from losing half their forces, isn't this the perfect time to strike back and wipe them out completely?"

Wu Yuan, Cao Yin, and the others were incomparably excited.

Their crazy plan had succeeded and turned their passive situation around in one go. From now on, the initiative was theirs. They no longer had to hide; they could move openly and strike when they pleased.

Huang Wuji's gaze was cold, and a stream of bloody qi rose from him. He said indifferently, "Now is the time for us to counterattack. Quite a few of us have reached a thousand feet of immortal affinity with this battle. In the upcoming counterattack, we'll make sure the rest do too by taking it from the Clean-up Alliance."

"Haha, good! Screw those bastards!"

"But when do we start the counterattack? I can't wait!"

"No hurry. We move once Chen Fan and the others have recovered. Even though we won big, we suffered heavy injuries too. For now, we rest, heal, and find the Clean-up Alliance's base. When the time comes, we'll go straight there and end this."
