Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1086 - Fierce Battle Against Jiangshi

After diving to the bottom of the Yellow Spring lake, Chen Fan discovered a massive pit, like a deep valley surrounded by cliffs.

The pit was continuously radiating energy fluctuations. He immediately judged that it had collapsed due to intense battles.

This pit is the aftermath of a fierce fight!

Several jiangshi approached and surrounded him. freewebnøvel_com

“Roar, roar!”

They were the same jiangshi that Chen Fan had thrust down while retrieving the Red Spider Lilies. Now, they glared at him viciously—faces green, fangs bared—roaring with rage as they lunged forward.

Although Chen Fan had injured them previously, jiangshi didn’t feel pain, no matter how hard they were hit.

Unlike ordinary jiangshi that acted purely on instinct, these were slightly more intelligent, but still just as bloodthirsty and brutal.

A jiangshi rushed over first.

It wielded a sword, having been a sword path expert in life. Now, it slashed at Chen Fan with a streak of sword qi laced with corpse poison.

Chen Fan balled his fist and punched. It instantly turned into a mass of starry light and struck out.

Boom!

That streak of sword qi was smashed into pieces on the spot.

Seizing the moment, Chen Fan stepped in and launched a close-range assault.

Although the jiangshi retained some fragments of memory and skill from their past lives, they were far weaker than before. They were not a serious threat to him.

Of course, the jiangshi hadn’t been that powerful even when it was alive, likely only at the quasi-Legendary level. After turning into jiangshi, their strengths dropped further, now only comparable to the Greater or Lesser Peak Manifestation realm.

If the jiangshi were a Legendary realm in its lifetime, their power would’ve been much greater, likely at the quasi-Legendary level or above.

Still, jiangshi were notoriously difficult to kill, as their strongest weapon was their physique, which was incredibly tough. Ordinary treasures couldn’t even scratch that, so jiangshi were tough opponents for ordinary people.

Unfortunately, their enemy now was Chen Fan—the worst possible opponent.

Physical strength was Chen Fan’s specialty. Where others relied on technique, he overwhelmed his opponents with raw, crushing force.

He channeled his Hegemonic Golden Body, his figure now cloaked in golden divine light. With a mighty punch, he unleashed a vast wave of qi, churning up towering ripples as it swept forward.

That jiangshi was fearless and slashed out, unleashing a terrifying sword qi that rushed toward Chen Fan’s attack.

For a moment, its sword qi resisted before being crushed into pieces by Chen Fan’s fist force. With unstoppable momentum, it struck the jiangshi.

Boom!

Chen Fan had already seriously wounded the jiangshi, so it couldn’t withstand the blow. Its protective corpse qi shattered instantly; its flesh ripped apart on the spot. Blood and gore splattered as its body was torn to pieces.

He had struck cleanly, giving the jiangshi no chance to fight back.

Chen Fan soon discovered that this jiangshi didn’t have a corpse core.

Normally, a jiangshi would have a corpse core, the center of its life essence and the source of its energy.

But this one didn’t have one. What was going on?

Chen Fan was still hoping to make a fortune.

While others treated a corpse core as poison, it was a great tonic for him, as he could easily refine the energy in the corpse core.

Yet to his surprise, the jiangshi lacked one entirely. No wonder their strength had dropped so sharply.

After dealing with the other jiangshi, he found the same result: none of them had corpse cores. A wave of disappointment hit him.

Did the corpse cores act as nourishment for the Red Spider Lilies?! A shocking idea popped up in Chen Fan’s mind.

That explains everything—why the Red Spider Lilies, which should’ve only grown along the banks of the Yellow Spring, were now blooming deep in the lake and sprouting from corpses.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The subtle sound of the water current flowing entered Chen Fan’s ear. He looked up and saw that a corpse was slowly floating up. A Red Spider Lily had grown from its body, blooming as it rose.

The scene was eerie, almost surreal.

He didn’t want to miss this Red Spider Lily. He immediately swept over to the corpse’s side and struck out like lightning, grabbing the lily.

As expected, the moment he touched it, the corpse reacted violently. It opened its eyes as if it were greatly stimulated. It lashed out instantly, filling the space with a flurry of fist shadows aimed straight at Chen Fan.

This corpse had clearly been a fist art specialist in life. Even after death and transformation into a jiangshi, its punches retained terrifying power.

Every punch it threw could almost break through heaven and earth, setting off huge waves at the bottom of the lake.

The lake itself was no ordinary water; composed of corpse fluids, it was dozens of times heavier than normal liquid. Still, the attacks set off huge waves as if a flood monster was causing trouble.

Though now a jiangshi, its strength remained formidable. It had reached the Lesser Legendary realm while alive, and even with its power diminished, it was still comparable to a Greater Peak Manifestation realm expert who had mastered forty threads of law.

Chen Fan did not use any other moves. He punched using the Flood Dragon Fist Scripture, engaging in a duel of pure fist art. Every hit from both parties hit hard and true.

The jiangshi’s punches were incredibly fast, but Chen Fan’s punches were heavier, representing the two extremes of the path of martial arts.

On one hand stood the belief that speed was the ultimate, unbeatable martial art; on the other, that raw power could overcome technique—two entirely different paths.

Now, these two fist paths collided in a brilliant clash of extremes.

Both parties happened to possess incomparably tough physiques. The battle was like two machines locked in relentless combat, sending sparks and lightning flashing everywhere, every collision ringing with the clang of metal.

Although the strengths of both parties were on par, Chen Fan was stronger in terms of pure physique.

In a short period, they exchanged over a thousand moves. The jiangshi’s body had already begun to break down under the onslaught, its flesh nearly blasted apart by Chen Fan’s fists.

On the other hand, Chen Fan’s Hegemonic Golden Body was incomparably tough. After he was struck, ripples of energy shimmered across his form. One could imagine how terrifyingly powerful the jiangshi’s fist force was.

However, neither side had any intention of stopping.

The jiangshi had gone completely berserk. Already bloodthirsty by nature, its frenzied state only made it more savage.

For them, their physiques were their greatest weapons. Pain meant nothing. They only wanted to tear Chen Fan into pieces before they would stop.

They were a bunch of undead creatures.

This jiangshi, in particular, was both powerful and terrifying. It fought like a machine, indifferent to injury. Its combat strength was barely affected, regardless of how much damage it took.
