Chapter 1259 - Counterattack, Part Three
They broke out into a battle instantly.
Wielding the purple-gold battle halberd, Huang Wuji's momentum was unparalleled. His aura shrouded the four Greater Legendary realm experts, and his terrifying attack rushed toward the four of them.
Despite joining forces, Ji Feixue, Ge Yang, and the others didn't look confident.
None of them had an immortal artifact in hand, only Grade-9 treasures. However, Huang Wuji had a genuine immortal artifact. If it struck, even one blow could leave them severely injured, or worse.
Backed by an immortal artifact and his own monstrous combat power, Huang Wuji was like a tiger with wings. Even four against one, they felt overwhelming pressure.
Rumble!
The five clashed in mid-air, their collision shaking the heavens. A terrifying storm poured down like a waterfall, impacting the earth.
The earth crumbled apart. Abyss-like cracks appeared in the ground, and countless trees fell in an instant, annihilated.
"Kill!"
Chen Fan and the others also made their moves at once, their killing intent boiling over, their auras berserk.
Wu Yuan wielded the Blood Ax. His powerful aura shook heaven and earth, shrouding the peak Lesser Legendary realm experts of the Clean-up Alliance and the Yunluo Continent, fighting them all alone.
Cao Yin, Di Chen, Lu Xiu, and the other peak or late-stage Lesser Legendary realm experts also fought one against many. The forest became a battlefield of chaos, with the sky shattering and the ground collapsing under the force of their clashes.
With the Holy Spear of the Sun in hand, Chen Fan's aura surged, and he stabbed it toward Zi Dongyang.
"Zi Dongyang, hand over your life!"
"Violet Qi Thunderous Strike!"
Zi Dongyang's expression was dark. Violet qi erupted violently from him. Eighteen battle spears floated behind him like divine pillars holding the sky up. He instantly unleashed a devastating strike, colliding with Chen Fan.
However, Chen Fan's cultivation was already a middle-stage Lesser Legend. Together with his powerful Hegemonic Golden Body and the Great Dharma of Slaughter's amplification of his combat strength, he was almost on par with a peak Lesser Legendary realm expert if he went all out. Even a late-stage Lesser Legendary realm might not necessarily be his match.
Zi Dongyang was still in the middle-stage Lesser Legendary realm, but he had already reached the peak of that stage, being a step away from the late-stage Lesser Legendary realm. However, as a peerless pride of heaven, his combat strength was not inferior to a late-stage Lesser Legendary realm.
Even so, his eighteen battle spears shattered in an instant under Chen Fan's attack, and he was sent flying back from the impact. He let out a low groan, looking at Chen Fan with horror as blood seeped out of the corner of his lips.
How could this be possible?
He knew Chen Fan was powerful. After all, Chen Fan had once held off him and two other early-stage Lesser Legendary experts alone.
However, Zi Dongyang didn't expect to be injured in their very first clash.
"Die!" Chen Fan didn't waste time thinking. He stepped in the air, heaven and earth seemed to vibrate and tremble with every step he took. He was like a ferocious beast, carrying a terrifying momentum akin to ten thousand beasts charging forward, rushing toward Zi Dongyang.
His eyes were incomparably cold.
Zi Dongyang had severed Jian Qi's left arm. It needed to be repaid with his life!
"Who's afraid of you!" Zi Dongyang's eyes turned red. His pride couldn't take being pushed back and wounded by Chen Fan.
He was the most outstanding disciple of the Ziyang Palace in the last thousand years. His talent was unmatched, and he was a future immortal. If he retreated, wouldn't it mean that he was afraid of Chen Fan? Inferior to him?
"Singular Spear Trace on the Immovable Heavenly Mountain!"
A surge of violent violet qi erupted from him, forming a domain-like field. The space within a hundred meters quaked, as if a mountain had descended, pressing down with crushing force.
Chen Fan's momentum stalled, caught in a quagmire. Space thickened with mysterious purple ripples, slowing him down.
"Go to hell!" Zi Dongyang shot forward like a flash of light. His spear tore through the air, its tip sharp and deadly.
Chen Fan didn't panic and received the attack with his Holy Spear of the Sun, knocking away the ancient spear stabbing towards him.
Clang!
Rumble!
A violent storm exploded at the point of impact, blasting out blinding light in all directions and forcing both fighters back.
Chla!
Before Chen Fan could steady himself, a middle-stage Lesser Legend from the Clean-up Alliance spotted an opening. A light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately abandoned his opponent. His ancient sword shone with a cold light, and he stabbed Chen Fan's back.
However...
Clang!
The savage smile on his face instantly froze, as his attack didn't pierce through Chen Fan like he had imagined.
Shock hit him like thunder.
"How... How is this possible?"
Chen Fan sensed a terrifying force rushing into him, shaking the Heaven and Earth Furnace within. However, he suppressed the disturbance. Without turning, he swept the spear in a brutal arc behind him.
Boom, tch!
The middle-stage Lesser Legendary realm expert was struck at the waist and snapped in half. Fresh blood spurted furiously, and his miserable screams filled the air.
Pfft!
With his left hand, Chen Fan caught the broken man using the Hand of Sky Rending Stars, then crushed him into pulp on the spot.
All of it happened in a flash.
On the other side, Zi Dongyang stood frozen, looking blankly at Chen Fan.
A Grade-9 sword couldn't pierce Chen Fan's back!
What kind of physique was that, to be able to resist a Grade-9 treasure? The sheer shock of the scene left Zi Dongyang rattled.
Of course, even though Chen Fan's flesh wasn't torn, he wasn't completely fine after receiving this attack. The terrifying force hurt his organs.
Zi Dongyang's keen eyesight caught the trace of blood at the corner of Chen Fan's lips, and his irises contracted.
He's injured. Although it didn't pierce him, the terrifying force rushed into him, injuring his organs. A good chance!
Suddenly, Zi Dongyang's eyes shone brilliantly. His violet qi boiled, and he charged over with his ancient spear in hand.
Chen Fan wasn't afraid in the slightest. The Heaven and Earth Furnace stabilized him, suppressing all agitation. Without a trace of injury, he charged forward with wild momentum.
Boom, boom, boom!
The flames of battle raged everywhere in the forest. The fights were intense.
Huang Wuji fought four Greater Legendary realm experts but didn't show any signs of being pushed back. He was like a battle god reborn, wielding the halberd unstoppably, undefeated in battle.
Wu Yuan, a pride of heaven of the Wu Clan, had the Blood Ax, chopping violently. Even five peak Lesser Legendary realm experts had trouble stopping him.
The Wu Clan, whose very name bore the character for "martial," lived for battle—fierce, fearless, and bold. Wu Yuan embodied that spirit completely.
Di Chen, Duanmu Lingxing, Cao Yin, Lu Xiu, and the others were all outstanding talents. They were all fighting fiercely, fearlessly engaged in one-against-many battles. Their blood became hot from the fierce battle, and their emotions were high.
It wasn't only them. Ji Kong, Sun Hao, and the others were the same.
The momentum from their victories in the southeastern rainforest and southwestern desert hadn't faded. Their auras were at their peak, their fighting spirit still blazing.
