Chapter 1072 - Boldness Knows No Bounds

“No!”

Yuwen Hong’s voice was cut off abruptly.

Chen Fan’s spear pierced his head, annihilating his mind and soul in an instant.

The Battle Saint Palace’s pride of heaven disciple, Yuwen Hong, perished in a flash.

This happened too quickly, in a split second. The crowd couldn’t react to it at all.

They never expected a prodigy like Yuwen Hong to die at the hands of a seventh-level Manifestation realm youth. That made no logical sense.

So, when Chen Fan killed Yuwen Hong with a single strike, the shock was overwhelming. Everyone froze, stunned as if turned to stone.

These people were petrified—Chen Fan was not.

“Die!”

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

He struck while they remained in shock, charging straight at Wu Jinhong.

Run away? Chen Fan didn’t even consider that possibility, as he knew that his opponents wouldn’t let him leave in peace. They would definitely keep pursuing him. And once word got out, even Legendary realm experts would be drawn to him.

Better to eliminate them all now, ensuring that no one would ever learn about him obtaining the Bodhi ancient tree. That would save him from a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Would their deaths spark retaliation from powerful factions? Chen Fan didn’t care.

The ancient battlefield wasn’t a playground—even Legendary realm experts could fall here, let alone these people.

He wasn’t just killing them to escape this situation, but he was also killing Wu Jinhong and taking out another major threat.

In a flash, he was in front of Wu Jinhong. The Heaven Piercing Spear shot forward, tearing through the air.

Wu Jinhong, though not the Wu Clan’s most brilliant genius, was still heaven's pride—he was no ordinary foe.

Wu Jinhong snapped out of the deathly trance in an instant. The Heaven Piercing Spear grew in his irises.

Golden sword qi erupted around him, sweeping toward Chen Fan like a storm.

However, Chen Fan had no intention of backing off. Even if this attack couldn’t kill Wu Jinhong, he intended to seriously injure his opponent and wear him down.

He did not hold back in this attack at all. It was a full-powered attack. Wu Jinhong’s counterattack couldn’t stop it.

The sweeping sword qi was instantly shredded by the Heaven Piercing Spear, which pierced Wu Jinhong, punching out a bloody hole.

“Ugh.” Wu Jinhong let out a low groan, looking incomparably horrified. The spear’s destructive force surged into him, rapidly draining his vitality.

But Wu Jinhong wasn’t one to go down quietly. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he raised his golden sword and slashed at Chen Fan’s head.

“Go to hell!”

Chen Fan quickly flitted away, heading straight toward the Fire Reverence Cult’s Lian Huaqing.

“Hmph!” Lian Huaqing, now fully alert, met Chen Fan’s charge head-on. His eyes gleamed with cold fury. He didn’t dare to underestimate Chen Fan anymore. His palm struck out, releasing a terrifying flaming palm seal that roared like it could burn mountains and boil seas.

Rumble!

Chen Fan thrust his arm forward, obliterating the descending flaming seal, erupting into scattered flames.

By now, everyone had returned to their senses. Their eyes locked onto Chen Fan—shocked, furious, and wary.

None of them had imagined a seventh-level Manifestation realm brat to be this ferocious.

Unexpected!

This was too unexpected!

Although Yuwen Hong was dead, underestimating his enemy had more or less played a part. Still, as a pride of heaven disciple of the Battle Saint Palace, it should have been impossible for Chen Fan to take him down in a single blow.

Yet, that was exactly what Chen Fan had done.

This made one thing clear—Chen Fan was far from ordinary. He was not as simple as he appeared.

What’s more, instead of fleeing while everyone was stunned by Yuwen Hong’s death, Chen had Fan struck again, gravely wounding Wu Jinhong. His boldness simply knew no bounds.

Anyone else in his situation would have used the opportunity to escape, not try to kill another expert.

“Damned bastard... you actually hurt me... Badly!” Wu Jinhong suppressed his injuries and glared angrily at Chen Fan, feeling the urge to tear him into pieces.

If not for his quick reflexes, he would’ve already been a corpse under Chen Fan’s spear.

“He’s Chen Fan. This guy is Chen Fan!” exclaimed a ninth-level Manifestation realm expert suddenly.

Yang Chongxiao had never seen Chen Fan before, but he had heard of him.

“Chen Fan? The guy who disrupted the Ji Clan and the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s marriage alliance?”

Back then, Chen Fan’s name had shaken the entire Tianwu Continent.

“Who cares if he is Chen Fan or Chen Bufan. He dared to snatch my Bodhi ancient tree, so he must die!” Lian Huaqing said viciously. [1]

Although Chen Fan had once stirred up a massive storm—his name echoing across the world and branding him as a monstrous prodigy—figures like Lian Huaqing didn’t take him seriously. After all, he had only defeated Beishan Hong.

In their eyes, Beishan Hong was similarly not worth mentioning.

Another person said, “I heard that a year ago, Chen Fan escaped from Nie Han, the hall master of the Scarlet Moon Hall. That is a Lesser Legendary realm expert.”

“What? He escaped from a Legendary realm expert? How is that possible?”

Many people’s faces changed drastically.

A Legend—even a Lesser one—was a figure far beyond their reach.

Yue Yu’s irises also contracted, and he said coldly, “I’ve heard about that too. It’s nothing impressive. He could only escape because he had a lot of treasures. He detonated his treasures to fuel his escape. Without them, it would have been impossible for him to survive. No need to fear him. We outnumber him. Are you telling me we can’t handle a lone Chen Fan?”

The crowd let out a slight breath of relief.

If Chen Fan had truly evaded a Legendary expert with sheer power, he would’ve been terrifying. But knowing he relied on expendable treasures dulled the fear and made him seem far less untouchable.

1. The Fan in his name means ordinary, which was explained when his mother first appeared. Bufan means extraordinary. ☜
