Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 208 - Returning to the Sect

“Damn it! Damn it!”

Chu Tiange also began chasing Chen Fan, and when he saw the three dead Heaven’s Alliance members, he was enraged.

He swung his sword wildly, unleashing streaks of sword light with thunderous rumbling.

However, Chen Fan had used a thousandth of the time it took to blink his eyes to kill the three; he hadn’t even paused for a moment. He had killed three experts at the second level in passing.

So, Chen Fan had long since left the area before Chu Tiange arrived there.

Poof, poof, poof...

Thunderous qi notes pierced the thick layer of clouds, forcefully dispersing them.

“Ah...!”

Chu Tiange trembled angrily, staring daggers at Chen Fan’s fleeting shadow.

A top-tier elite disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect had failed to defeat someone at the second level. His actions even led to the death of three Heaven’s Alliance members. He had brought shame to his identity.

What further irked him was that he had failed even to identify the masked assailant. They were enveloped in a strange energy that thwarted any attempts to discern their identity.

Having survived, the heavily injured first-level Yuanfu realm Heaven’s Alliance members nervously observed the shredded layer of clouds in the sky.

They had survived because they had been slow. Slow due to their weaker cultivation. Otherwise, they would have died instead of just suffering heavy injuries. Surviving due to their weakness was an unexpected turn of events for them.

Shocked and fearful, the onlookers recoiled as they witnessed Chu Tiange's enraged state, shrinking back instinctively.

They were also curious about the masked fighter’s identity. After all, they had made Chu Tiange suffer such a loss.

“Die!”

His gaze icy, Chu Tiange’s chest rose and fell heavily, displaying his boiling rage.

The mysterious assailant had left, leaving him with no target for retribution. The unfortunate blood-sucking bandits became the outlet for his pent-up anger.

Sword light erupted from Chu Tiange’s blade, each stroke carrying a terrifying force that tore through everything, sweeping out in all directions and eliminating the blood-sucking bandits.

“Run!” yelled a third-level Yuanfu realm bandit and turned to run.

Their leader, Xue Chongtian, was dead. So, facing Chu Tiange's wrath, they scattered in different directions, leaving their fate to chance.

Pfft!

However, just as that third-level Yuanfu realm expert’s voice fell, a thunderous sound rang in his ear; before he could react, the sword qi tore him to pieces.

“Kill! Wipe out these demonic bastards!”

“Don’t let a single one of them go!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“......”

The others also came back to their senses.

Immediately, they launched a fierce attack, sweeping out and killing the blood-sucking bandit army that was already defeated and running for their lives.

“Ahhh...”

The blood-sucking bandits, devoid of any will to fight, were mercilessly massacred by the disciples from numerous sects.

Dismembered limbs and fresh blood spattered everywhere. Miserable cries rang out non-stop.

Leading the ruthless slaughter was none other than Chu Tiange, his Thunderous Note Sword Technique tearing through the bandit army as if he were traversing flat lands.

Rolling sword qi erupted ferociously with each swing of his sword, leaving none alive. In moments, hundreds, even thousands, of blood demon cores formed a gruesome belt behind him.

Chu Tiange was like a killing god at this moment. No one could stop him.

......

Meanwhile, Chen Fan remained oblivious to the tragic scene unfolding in Loulan Imperial City.

He shot straight toward the horizon. After covering over a dozen miles, he unfolded the Wings of Rain Dragon and tore through the air like a roc, producing sonic booms.

Swish!

Chen Fan ultimately descended into a valley far away. He began organizing the loot he obtained on this trip to the northwestern lands.

Undoubtedly, he had benefited the most from this expedition to the northwest.

Almost everything Xue Chongtian and his gang had plundered went into his pocket, filling several storage rings to the brim. They would surely make the Chen Clan’s reserves swell up.

He had also killed numerous blood-sucking bandits. Even if he put aside the ones he couldn’t hand over to the sect, he could exchange the remaining ones for about a thousand contribution points.

“Nice! The northwest trip lived up to my expectations!”

Chen Fan’s eyes shone brilliantly.

The immense wealth he had acquired would significantly accelerate his cultivation progress and alleviate any of his concerns about resources.

“Pity, I just wasn’t strong enough. Killing Chu Tiange would have made this trip perfect.”

Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with killing intent, regretting his failure to kill Chu Tiange.

“But no matter. Opportunities will arise in the future. I'll focus on advancing my cultivation before returning to the sect!”

Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the ground. With a wave of his hand, thousands of primeval stones immediately surrounded him like a silver band, bursting simultaneously and turning into the purest primeval qi.

Opening his mouth wide, Chen Fan inhaled like a whale, absorbing a massive amount of primeval qi. His cultivation surged, replenishing the vast amounts of primeval force depleted in the intense battle.

Next, he retrieved a few demon cores and swallowed them. The Heaven Seizing Furnace in his dantian erupted, refining the cores into vitality essence that spread through him. Chen Fan's aura immediately began to ascend.

Middle-stage, second-level Yuanfu realm!

Late-stage, second-level Yuanfu realm!

Peak-stage, second-level Yuanfu realm!

He had swallowed and refined more than ten Tier-2, first-level demon cores. Chen Fan’s cultivation skyrocketed, reaching the peak of the second level. He was just a step away from advancing to the third level.

Six hours had passed, transitioning from night to day, and the snowfall had stopped. The sun hung high, casting a silver-white sheen over the landscape.

Chen Fan opened his eyes. A sharp light shot out from them.

“It’s time to return to the sect.”

Chen Fan stood up. His aura erupted violently as he whizzed into the clouds, making the accumulated snow in the valley cascade.

Sensing his imposing presence, snow creatures like chickens, rabbits, foxes, wolves, and even demon beasts hurriedly fled from the area. Chen Fan leaped into the air, rushing out of the valley toward the Spring Autumn Sect.

While his journey was filled with joy, the situation was a bit different in the northwest region.

Chu Tiange was angry. Very angry.

Although he had turned into a killing god the previous night and slaughtered many blood-sucking bandits to vent his frustrations, he still was shockingly angry.

The Heaven’s Alliance members following him were all trembling with fear, not daring to breathe even slightly louder.
