Chapter 278 - Luo Hun

As they entered, the crowd instinctively made way for them to avoid potential trouble.

Reaching a viewing stand, Luo Hun positioned himself like a devoted guard, standing behind Zhao Yuan, emanating a strong aura and keeping his focus unwavering.

Zhao Yuan’s gaze fell onto the fighting arena. When he caught sight of Chen Fan, icy killing intent immediately surged in his eyes.

“Sure enough, it’s that little bastard!”

In the ninth round, Chen Fan faced off against Xue Sanpo, an aspiring core disciple from the North Star Sect on the brink of reaching the fifth level. Like Luo Hun, he had won nine consecutive matches in the Earth Class Battle Palace three times.

The North Star Sect was a top-tier sect similar to the Spring Autumn Sect.

As an elite disciple of the North Star Sect, Xue Sanpo was naturally extremely strong. Armed with the Starbreak Spear, Xue Sanpo unleashed his cultivation, creating a star map above him that absorbed celestial energy, enhancing his attacks significantly.

Despite how impressive that looked, Chen Fan could destroy him with a snap of his finger. However, he couldn’t, as he didn’t want to expose his true cultivation.

Therefore, Chen Fan kept his cultivation suppressed to the fourth level and fought Xue Sanpo. Their clashes reverberated with the sound of metal clashing, creating an intense and closely contested battle.

“Amazing... He's actually holding his own against Xue Sanpo!"

“Stop winning now. I bet on him winning eight matches. I’ll lose everything if he keeps winning.”

“Spectacular. This is too amazing. It’s like a dragon fighting against a tiger.”

“......”

The crowd clapped and cheered, enjoying the spectacle.

Nangong Wan’er also had a smile on her face. Chen Fan’s strength had exceeded her expectations.

After exchanging dozens of moves, Xue Sanpo suddenly struck out fiercely.

“Dubhe Polis!”

His star map rotated vigorously, expanding, and the Dubhe star gleamed brightly, infusing his attacks with the power of stars.

Chen Fan maintained his composure, dealing with things with ease.

Primeval force surged inside his dantian, and power coursed through him. As he swung his arm, the sword lights seamlessly connected, forming an impenetrable defense. Despite Xue Sanpo's relentless onslaught, he couldn't break through.

“Hmph!”

Xue Sanpo unleashed his cultivation fiercely when he saw Chen Fan easily withstand his attacks. The star map shone even more brilliantly. The star that represented Alkaid lit up. His spear was like a dragon, with a star seemingly spinning at the tip of the spear.

But the climax was yet to come. Xue Sanpo gathered his strength, preparing for his strongest attack.

In the star map, the Polaris star lit up.

“Dubhe, Alkaid, Polaris, Star Killer!” [1]

The star map flashed and exploded with a boom. It transformed into three stars, floating at Xue Sanpo’s back. He shook his arm fiercely, stabbing three times consecutively, each representing the three different stars’ powers.

A dull sound rang out in space under his stabbings.

Poof, poof, poof...

Chen Fan stood firm as if his feet were anchored to the fighting arena. He simply raised his sword and slashed down without employing any specific martial art.

“Annihilate!”

Bang, bang, bang...

Explosions rang out. This single slash instantly cut apart the three stars and blew up, triggering a qi current that rippled through the air like water.

A strong wind whistled across the fighting arena. The storm of qi current enveloped the stage. Everyone felt as if a calamity was about to befall them.

On the viewing stand, Zhao Yuan saw Chen Fan breaking apart Xue Sanpo’s attack in one slash, indicative of his imminent victory. He asked, “What do you think, Luo Hun?”

Luo Hun said indifferently, “Too weak.”

“Good! This little bastard will win soon. I heard the crowd say he’s already won eight in a row, so this will be his ninth win. If he wins, you step in on the tenth and kill him!” Zhao Yuan’s cruel voice rang out, his face filled with malice.

“No problem.” Luo Hun’s voice remained calm as ever, without the slightest fluctuation.

As Zhao Yuan had expected, Chen Fan soon unleashed diverse moves from the Nine Swords of Wind Demon, forcing Xue Sanpo back repeatedly. Overwhelmed, Xue Sanpo was eventually knocked off the stage.

“He’s already won nine matches. If he wins the next as well, he will enter the Earth Leaderboard!”

“Heavens, am I about to witness the birth of an Earth Leaderboard expert today?”

“It won’t be easy winning ten matches. A fifth-level Yuanfu realm expert will go up as the tenth challenger and stop him in his tracks.”

“Let’s wait and see whether he can win this tenth match.”

“......”

Enthusiasm lit up everyone's eyes.

In the Earth Class Battle Palace, individuals with four to five consecutive victories were commonplace, and occasionally, there were even those with seven or eight wins.

However, attaining ten consecutive victories and earning a spot on the Earth Leaderboard was a rare feat.

The most recent person to achieve this milestone was Muye Xiao from the Divine Light Sect, three months ago. His name had become synonymous with this remarkable accomplishment.

Someone noticed Muye Xiao and immediately cried, “Look, it’s Muye Xiao. I wonder if he’ll step into the arena and stop this guy’s winning streak?”

Nangong Fengyun heard the nearby crowd’s discussions and smiled. “Hoho, Brother Muye, the crowd looks forward to you going on stage.”

Muye Xiao chuckled and said, “Since I promised Brother Fengyun earlier to make this kid repent in hell, fine. In this tenth round, I’ll...”

Bang!

However, before Muye Xiao could finish his sentence, the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground rang out from the fighting arena.

Immediately, the crowd’s gazes shifted over.

A nine-foot-tall figure in steel armor stood opposite Chen Fan, emitting an intense, oppressive aura.

“Heavens, it’s Luo Hun!”

“It’s really him! He actually went up in this round!”

“Luo Hun is fighting. It seems this kid’s dream of winning ten matches and entering the Martial Market Earth Leaderboard will shatter.”

“Hehe, this kid is really unlucky. Luo Hun doesn't discriminate; he strikes with relentless force every time. Best-case scenario, his limbs will break, and at worst, his cultivation will be crippled, turning him into trash.”

“That’s right, Luo Hun was once a mercenary. He’s ruthless and kills people like flies. He is incomparably vicious.”

“......”

The crowd was shocked when they saw Luo Hun take the stage. Some couldn't hide their satisfaction at Chen Fan's perceived misfortune.

Muye Xiao’s chuckle froze momentarily. He then smiled lightly and said, “Hoho, it seems there’s no need for me to step into the ring. Luo Hun should be able to help vent your anger.”

Nangong Fengyun nodded and said, “I know about Luo Hun. His methods are ruthless. He’s a vicious character. I’m afraid that little bastard won’t meet a good end now that he’s run into him.”

“Oh no, it’s Luo Hun!” On the other side, Nangong Wan’er’s expression darkened.

Chu Xuan’er’s face was also filled with shock.

Luo Hun’s eyes were void of all emotions. He stared at Chen Fan icily, his steel armor emitting an austere aura. Without a word, he suddenly reached out and attacked, aiming right for Chen Fan’s abdomen, specifically the dantian.

1. Dubhe, Alkaid, and Polaris are the names of stars part of the Big Dipper, a group of seven stars. Polis is the name of a star not related to the Big Dipper. The name of the sect Xue Sanpo came from is also referring to the Big Dipper. ☜
