Chapter 288 - 128: A Greater Storm Arrives, Chu Fan’s Desperate Cultivation, "Nine Nether Yellow Springs Finger" Breaking Limit
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Just as the black-robed man fell backward, Chu Fan strode forward and unleashed three consecutive palm strikes, smashing them viciously into the man’s chest!
CRACK!
THUD!
The sickening sound of splintering bone echoed, exceptionally piercing in the silent night.
The black-robed man’s body convulsed violently, slamming into the ground with a thud and creating a man-shaped crater!
A thick layer of crystalline white frost and icicles formed on his face, beard, and hair at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the surface of his bulging eyeballs was coated in a thin layer of ice!
The black-robed man’s eyes were filled with endless terror.
In the final moment before his pupils dilated, he still couldn’t seem to believe that he would die in such a miserable fashion at the hands of a mere ant from the Spirit Awakening Realm!
Chu Fan’s expression was blank as he took another step forward.
He raised his right foot, gathering Primordial Qi at the sole, and stomped down viciously on the head that was now completely encased in thick ice!
SQUELCH!
A muffled, decisive cracking sound rang out.
It wasn’t loud, but it made the hearts of those who had just arrived in the distance stop cold.
It felt like crushing a watermelon that had been frozen for far too long...
This Divine Power Realm expert in the black robe was finally, utterly dead!
"Chu Fan!"
"Fan!"
Cao Feng, Cao Yan, and Li Qingxue, who had rushed over in a panic, were utterly dumbfounded by the scene before them.
All three bore wounds to varying degrees, their robes stained with blood and their breathing ragged. It was clear their own previous battle had not been easy.
On the other side, Cyan Snake Xiaobai staggered out from behind a large tree, clutching a crimson jade bottle.
Her face was as pale as paper. She leaned against a tree, gasping heavily for breath.
As they all watched...
At the foot of the city wall, Chu Fan stood tall and imposing.
The Evil Ghost Mask on his face was in tatters, with only a small piece still hanging on.
His robes had been shredded into countless strips by sharp Sword Qi, stained with dust and dark red blood, leaving him in a wretched state.
Just from his appearance, it was obvious how brutal the battle had been!
And yet, upon closer inspection, he didn’t have a single obvious, serious wound on his body!
What shocked Cao Feng and the others most, both visually and mentally, was the headless corpse at Chu Fan’s feet...
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
A dead silence fell over everyone.
Cao Feng’s eyes widened, his formidable frame trembling slightly. The bloodstained heavy blade in his hand vibrated with a VMMMM and nearly slipped from his grasp.
His lips parted, but no sound came out. A single thought thundered in his mind: ’A Divine Power Realm expert... was slaughtered by Fan?!’
Cao Yan’s chest heaved violently, his hand gripping his long saber so tightly that it trembled.
The shock and ecstasy in his eyes were like a tsunami, about to overflow!
Li Qingxue’s face was a little pale, not from her injuries, but from the shock of the scene before her.
Her cool eyes were filled with utter astonishment, but deep within that shock, an imperceptible hint of a smile and relief blossomed. Her tight grip on her saber hilt unconsciously loosened.
Time and time again!
Just when they thought they had seen the true limits of Chu Fan’s strength...
This young man would always find an even more shocking way to display methods they could never have imagined and a power that was simply unfathomable!
At the foot of the wall, a warm southern wind whimpered as it swept by.
The thick, lingering stench of blood and the eerie Cold Qi in the air seemed to silently narrate the brutality of the preceding battle and... its unbelievable conclusion.
Suddenly...
Chu Fan bent down and began to skillfully search the black-robed man’s cold, stiff corpse, rummaging for anything of value.
"..."
Seeing his sudden yet incredibly natural action, Cao Feng and the others were taken aback for a moment.
The solemn, shocking atmosphere from moments before seemed to be somewhat diluted by this pragmatic scene.
Li Qingxue was the first to react. She hurried forward, her voice tinged with a subtle note of concern. "Are... are you all right?"
Cao Feng also snapped out of it, his hearty but hoarse laughter breaking the silence. "Haha, look how quick and skilled he is at handling the corpse! You can tell the kid is perfectly fine, full of energy!"
"I’m fine." Chu Fan looked up and grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
He ripped off the tattered remnant of the Evil Ghost Mask from his face.
Along with the shredded robes that barely covered his body, he casually tossed them beside the black-robed man’s corpse.
The four of them regrouped with Cyan Snake Xiaobai. After confirming that everyone was injured but not in mortal danger, they wasted no more time. With a few leaps and bounds, they silently melted into the night of Cyan Yang Ancient City, quickly returning to the Seven Stars Gang.
That night, the entire Cyan Yang Ancient City was thrown into an uproar!
Spies from the various factions sent streams of messages back...
The Seven Stars Gang, which everyone and every faction had assumed was doomed to be crushed by the combined forces of Seven Stars Castle and the Moon Worship Sect, had not only held on but had actually killed every single one of their attackers!
The news seemed to grow wings, spreading swiftly with the night wind to every corner of the ancient city. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
According to the intelligence pieced together by the spies from various factions, among the group of Moon Worship Sect masters, there were, shockingly, two Divine Power Realm experts!
Two Divine Power Realm experts...
The strongest experts of the Four Great Clans and the three major gangs were only at the peak of the Fifth Heaven of the Spirit Awakening Realm!
Two Divine Power Realm experts represented a power strong enough to easily annihilate an entire clan or gang!
One Divine Power Realm expert had died in the Seven Stars Gang’s Martial Arts Arena, while the other had died at the foot of the North City Wall...
