Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1083 - Jiangshi in the Lake

“How is it, brat? Scared now? Hahahaha, that won’t save you now!” Ming Yang laughed out loud. With every step he took, his aura became a touch stronger, making the entire Yellow Spring lake ripple.

Chen Fan looked at Ming Yang like he was looking at an idiot, standing there without moving.

“Stop messing around, Ming Yang. Hurry up!” Fu Buping snapped, irritation in his voice.

Ming Yang trembled and immediately answered, “Yes.”

“Brat, I’ll be taking your left leg!”

Ming Yang immediately shot forth. A dazzling saber light blossomed on his hand, instantly swiping toward Chen Fan’s left leg.

The saber light was very sharp, slicing the space apart.

“Idiot.”

Just as the saber light was about to fall on Chen Fan, a single word left Chen Fan’s mouth. He moved his palm, catching and crushing the oncoming saber light into pieces. He simultaneously struck out with a palm, vast and crushing, descending upon Ming Yang like a mountain.

“What?” Ming Yang jumped in fright. He quickly sensed the overwhelming power behind the strike. His soul nearly left him, and he shouted out loud, “Senior Brother Fu Buping, save me!”

“You dare!” Fu Buping was also shocked. A streak of sharp saber light flickered in his eyes. He glanced at Beishan Xue, infuriated, realizing that she had tricked him.

Only now did he realize the truth: this “seventh-level” brat had terrifying power.

He should’ve been more suspicious when Beishan Xue insisted Chen Fan was her target, yet didn’t act herself. Maybe she had tried and failed.

But blinded by greed for the Red Spider Lily—and misled by Chen Fan’s low cultivation—he hadn’t thought it through.

A phantom saber erupted from Fu Buping, slicing through the air as it flew toward Chen Fan’s massive palm.

Fu Buping didn’t care about Ming Yang’s life or death. However, he couldn’t let some brat kill his subordinate. What would others think?

The terrifying saber silhouette tore through the air with unparalleled might.

Unfortunately, he was too late, and Chen Fan’s Hand of Sky Rending Stars made Ming Yang explode.

Rumble!

Simultaneously, the Hand of Sky Rending Stars collided with the phantom saber, resulting in a loud boom and a sweeping storm.

The Greater Peak Manifestation realm from the Sun Moon Divine Sect used this opportunity to grab the last Red Spider Lily.

Suddenly, a large, pale hand rushed out from the lake, wrapped in terrifying corpse qi, and struck him.

It struck him before he could react—his focus entirely on the flower. He was torn to pieces, his remains splattering across the lake in a gory mess.

An extremely terrifying corpse’s roar came from underwater. The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, void of any trace of life.

“Roar!”

Immediately, a tall jiangshi emerged from the Yellow Spring lake. It was the corpse of a ferocious-looking middle-aged man, eyes glowing scarlet, its aura suffocating.

As if waking from an ancient slumber, it reached out, grabbed the falling chunks of flesh midair, and stuffed them into its mouth, chewing with sickening crunches.

This sudden turn of events surprised everyone at the scene.

Even Fu Buping, still seething over Ming Yang’s death, froze—his eyes narrowing as he hesitated to strike Chen Fan.

Swish!

The jiangshi ate every bit of flesh and bone, then blurred into motion. It darted toward Beishan Xue’s group, with startling speed and eerie agility.\

Its claws stretched wide—seemingly random but filled with martial intent, the kind that could make even a seasoned Greater Peak Manifestation cultivator flinch—as it lunged at Beishan Hong.

“You’re courting death!” Beishan Xue’s gaze turned cold. An overwhelming aura swept out from her, crashing into the charging jiangshi like a blizzard of frost and force.

Let alone the jiangshi, even the space was frozen.

Crack, crack, crack.

The jiangshi was immediately encased in ice. Then, the void shook, and it shattered and fell into the Yellow Spring lake.

Although it had Greater Peak Manifestation realm strength, what did it count for before Beishan Xue? It could have killed a Greater Peak Manifestation realm with an ambush, but when facing a quasi-Legendary realm like Beishan Xue, it stood no chance.

“Beishan Xue, what’s going on here? You set me up!”

Fu Buping looked at Beishan Xue, somewhat enraged.

The sudden appearance of the jiangshi, coupled with Chen Fan’s unexpected power, made him feel like he’d walked into a trap.

Beishan Xue’s expression was also very ugly.

She hadn’t expected this either. Her side had lost a Greater Peak Manifestation realm. She said coldly, “Set you up? How exactly did I do that?”

Fu Buping pointed at Chen Fan and said, “Him? You used the Red Spider Lily to trick me into attacking him, making my sect lose a Greater Peak Manifestation realm genius. Beishan Xue, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Of course, he didn’t actually care about Ming Yang’s death. What he wanted was leverage—to squeeze some benefit from Beishan Xue, like claiming the untouched Red Spider Lily still floating on the lake.

Beishan Xue said coldly, “Fu Buping, you were too blind to even recognize Chen Fan, and you’re blaming me? How ridiculous!”

Surprise appeared on Fu Buping’s face, and he looked at Chen Fan.

“Chen Fan? What, he is Chen Fan!”

He had heard of this monster, Chen Fan, who had shaken the cultivation world in recent years. Whispers of his feats had reached even the high peaks of Blade Saint Mountain.

However, he didn’t expect this seventh-level Manifestation realm brat to be Chen Fan himself.

The revelation stunned the others in his group as well. They had also heard of Chen Fan’s reputation.

“That’s right, he is Chen Fan, from the True Martial Academy’s Peerless Peak. Now that you know, I suggest you hold your people back. Take action yourself, and you can have his Red Spider Lily. Compared to the one I’m about to pick, the one he has is far less risky.”

Although a mishap happened while picking the lily earlier, Beishan Xue wasn’t about to give up on that. And this time, she was prepared to act personally to ensure success.

Suddenly, two savage laughs rang out. Two more groups appeared on the horizon.

“Haha, what a day! What are you two doing together? Have you discovered some nice treasure?”

“Right, right, if there’s good treasure, don’t hog it all for yourselves! Hmm? It’s a Red Spider Lily, good stuff!”

Upon seeing the newcomers, both Beishan Xue and Fu Buping narrowed their eyes. Their expressions changed, flashing with sharp, calculating light.
