Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 171 - Overwhelmed and Killed

“Hahahaha!”

Chen Tianxiong’s deafening laughter resounded like thunder.

Once resigned to the belief he could never be a Yuanfu realm expert, his perspective had shifted when Chen Fan gave him a Realm Breaking Pill and a precious blood drop.

With this unexpected assistance, Chen Tianxiong successfully advanced to the Yuanfu realm, avoiding the probable failure that awaited him if he had relied solely on the pill.

He had swallowed the blood drop at the critical juncture and succeeded in forming his primeval vessel in one go.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, Chen Tianxiong noticed his clan’s tragic situation.

Surveying the dire scene in the square, he soared toward it like an enraged lion, his aura surging.

“Damn it, you bunch of people should die!”

When Chen Tianxiong saw the numerous corpses of his clan’s descendants and private troops, a terrifying killing intent emanated from him, sweeping through the area.

“Haha, the old patriarch has broken through to the Yuanfu realm. Good, good, good. Our Chen Clan is saved. It’s time for these scums to tremble in fear and meet their doom!” Chen Tianshi and the others burst into laughter.

When Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong were in seclusion, they were utterly powerless to resist Lin Zong and the others. The enemy had killed many of the Chen Clan’s experts and private troops.

Thankfully, Chen Zhengqing had emerged from seclusion first and saved Chen Fan; not long after, Chen Tianxiong also emerged as a Yuanfu realm expert.

Lin Zong and his group found themselves on the receiving end of fear, a sentiment they had aimed to instill in others.

The three Qi Grandmasters and five eighth-level practitioners from the Lin Clan had already been at a numerical disadvantage and were hindered by the Chen Clan forces. So, they were especially afraid now.

With the addition of Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong, the Chen Clan now had two Yuanfu realm experts. To them, this meant that they were at risk of losing their lives.

“How are you, Xiaofan?” Chen Tianxiong hurriedly asked when he saw Chen Fan; he had deep wounds and was covered in blood.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, “I’m fine, Grandfather. Kill these people. Leave none of them alive!”

“Alright, don’t worry. None shall escape!” Chen Tianxiong nodded.

Chen Zhengqing said, “Father, you deal with those few people. Leave this old fellow to me. They dare kill our clansmen so they can forget about leaving today. This square will be their final resting place!”

“Alright! Kill them!” Chen Tianxiong said, his decisive nature evident. One had to possess such decisiveness to single-handedly develop the Chen Clan to its current size.

His figure flashed, sweeping out like the wind.

Immediately, the heads of those five eighth-level practitioners went flying, and pillars of blood spewed toward the sky.

“You’re seeking death!” Lin Zong roared in anger, launching a punch at Chen Tianxiong.

“You’re the one seeking death!”

Chen Zhengqing, determined to thwart any opportunity for his adversary, unleashed fiery blade slashes, each attack exuding unparalleled fierceness and leaving a burnt scent lingering in the air.

Having gauged their strengths in previous encounters, Chen Zhengqing now wielded his powers with complete familiarity.

Resting on the ground, Chen Fan watched Chen Zhengqing's ferocious strikes with fascination, recognizing the display of a true expert.

“Ah!” Another miserable scream rang out. The Lin Clan Qi Grandmaster, who had torn off Chen Tianshi's arm, met a tragic end as Chen Tianxiong swiftly crushed his throat.

“Ahhhh, the Chen Clan deserves to die and should be exterminated! Don’t you know who we are? You dare kill our Lin Clan’s people. You’re courting death!”

Lin Zong was currently being suppressed and taking a beating from Chen Zhengqing, accumulating wounds. He saw another Qi Grandmaster from the Lin Clan get killed and grew even angrier, retaliating fiercely, but his efforts were futile.

“Old bastard, who cares if you’re from the Lin Clan or the Wang Clan. You dare kill our Chen Clan’s people. Just wait for your clan to suffer destruction!” Chen Fan said viciously.

Chen Fan’s father’s cultivation was back, and he still had the Sun Stone, so he should rise to the fourth level of the Yuanfu realm in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, if he cultivated an illusory primeval vessel, he could contend with a fifth-level Yuanfu realm powerhouse.

A fifth-level Yuanfu realm powerhouse was considered a top-tier expert in the entire Qingyang County.

As for Chen Fan, he, too, would try to advance to the Yuanfu realm after this battle. If he succeeded, his strength would rise explosively.

“Tieyang, Jinhan, leave!” Lin Zong was aware the situation was terrible for them.

Since the Chen Clan had two Yuanfu realm experts, not to mention Chen Zhengqing’s strength was above Lin Zong’s, it was simply impossible for them to wipe out the Chen Clan. They could only try to preserve their lives and run away.

Upon hearing Lin Zong’s command, the two Lin Clan Qi Grandmasters fighting against Xiaobai executed simultaneous palm strikes, forcing Xiaobai to retreat as they escaped.

“You think you can escape?” Chen Tianxiong laughed coldly and caught up to the two instantly.

“Everyone from Xuanyang City, give our Lin Clan a helping hand. When our Lin Clan’s army destroys the Chen Clan in the future, we will not take a cent of Chen Clan’s wealth and businesses. All of it will belong to you. Your clans will also receive our Lin Clan’s protection!” Lin Zong urgently appealed, attempting to secure support for their retreat.

If he stayed any longer, it was very likely he would lose his life here. The eyes of the nearby crowd flickered, tempted by the offer.

“Whoever dares to make a move will be killed without mercy! If they manage to escape, our Chen Clan will kill anyone who aided them and exterminate their clans!” Chen Fan’s chilling voice resounded, instantly dissuading any potential collaborators.

“Ahhh!

Simultaneously, two miserable cries echoed as Chen Tianxiong swiftly slew Lin Tieyang and Lin Jinhan, the two Qi Grandmasters.

“Damn it! Damn it! Our Lin Clan will never let your Chen Clan off!” Lin Zong roared madly, wanting to break free from Chen Zhengqing and escape.

He was already no match for Chen Zhengqing alone. If Chen Tianxiong joined in the fight and took away some of his attention and strength, Chen Zhengqing would really have a chance to kill him.

“Won’t let my Chen Clan off? My Chen Clan wouldn’t let your Lin Clan off, either! Watermoon City’s Lin Clan, is it? Rest assured, everyone from the Lin Clan will follow you after your death!” Chen Zhengqing said with murderous intent.

“Die!” Chen Tianxiong came flying over and joined hands with Chen Zhengqing, attacking Lin Zong together.

Lin Zong was overwhelmed and struggled to maintain his composure.

The onlooking crowd was equally surprised as the unfolding scene diverged drastically from their expectations.

Lin Zong and the others had come with an unstoppable momentum, wanting to wipe out the Chen Clan and avenge their Lin Clan’s young patriarch.

Despite Chen Fan killing Lin Tianshui in a single move, leading to retaliation and the death of many Chen Clan members, Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong had emerged from seclusion unexpectedly and saved the Chen Clan from destruction.

Now, the two had joined forces, exerting dominance over Lin Zong. He was covered in blood, his flesh was torn, and he was surrounded by danger.

Chen Fan and the others became mere spectators, witnessing the ferocious and ruthless joint assault of Chen Zhengqing and Chen Tianxiong on Lin Zong in the air.

“Ah!”

A miserable scream pierced the air as an arm was severed and sent flying—belonging to Lin Zong.

Exploiting the relentless barrage of attacks, Chen Zhengqing seized the opportunity to chop off Lin Zong’s arm with his blade.

“Die!”

Lin Zong's strength plummeted. Shortly after an unwilling scream, he succumbed to Chen Zhengqing's fatal blow.
