Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1090 - Revenge Served Piping Hot

Boom!

Just as Huo Qi, Beishan Xue, and the others rushed out from the Yellow Spring lake and exhaled in relief, a terrifying aura swept out from a small mountaintop, shaking heaven and earth.

Up on the peak, Chen Fan stood with his robe billowing wildly in the wind. His aura surged like a dam broken, fierce and unstoppable. The mountain beneath his feet trembled and cracked apart, struggling to endure the sheer force radiating from him.

“Hahahaha, you people are finally out. I’ve been waiting for you. Your good fortune ends here!”

Chen Fan stood in the air, his hair flying, and his eyes shining brightly like stars. Around him, the radiant glow of law shimmered and pulsed—sixty threads strong.

In this breakthrough, he had consumed ten Red Spider Lilies.

The vast amount of energy could have easily overwhelmed and burst a peak Manifestation realm expert. Yet, it could only push him to the eighth level.

However, more than half of that energy had been devoured by the Bodhi ancient tree. Otherwise, he would have advanced to the ninth level.

Yet, Chen Fan did not mind it.

What truly thrilled him was that the Red Spider Lilies had raised his control of the threads of law from thirty-eight to sixty.

In just half a day, he had mastered twenty-two more threads of law.

His current strength had undergone complete transformation—it was like night and day compared to before.

“It’s you!”

“Chen Fan, you didn’t run away!”

The expressions of Huo Qi, Beishan Xue, and the others darkened the moment their gazes landed on Chen Fan.

Their greed for more Red Spider Lilies had led them straight into a trap. They had failed to leave in time, been sealed beneath the lake, and swarmed by hundreds of undead.

Although these jiangshi were not strong individually, they held a numerical advantage that wasn’t easily overcome, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

Originally, each group had about a dozen people, and the five major forces combined had seventy to eighty people. Now, only about twenty had made it out of Yellow Spring Lake—bloodied, badly injured, and greatly weakened. Their losses were devastating.

Furthermore, if it weren’t for the leaders unleashing powerful trump cards and acting together to break the grand sealing formation, none would have escaped.

And just when they escaped after great difficulty, they ran into Chen Fan, who had just completed his breakthrough and seemed to be waiting for them.

Volcanic rage erupted in their hearts at once.

Why had they suffered such heavy losses, burned through their life-saving cards, and emerged so weakened—only to find Chen Fan untouched and lying in wait?

The unfairness ignited their rage. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Chen Fan’s gaze swept across Huo Qi, Beishan Xue, and the others, laughing coldly in his heart.

As he had expected, although these people managed to escape from the Yellow Spring lake, every one of them was carrying heavy injuries and had suffered heavy losses. Their current strength now was likely no better than his before his breakthrough.

“Run away?” A look of ridicule appeared on Chen Fan’s face. He stepped across the void, approaching them, and said with a cold smile, “Why would I do that? I knew you'd be severely weakened even if you made it out, so I waited. And just as I thought, everything went exactly as expected.”

“Didn’t you people look down on my low cultivation, thinking I was no threat, just a toy in your hands, ripe for the killing? Since you want to kill me, why would I sit back and wait? Of course, I’ll have to retaliate. I’m not one to let my revenge go cold overnight.”

Huo Qi and the others’ expressions became as ugly as they could be.

Indeed, half a day ago, although Chen Fan had been a monstrous figure whose name shook the Tianwu Continent, in their eyes, he did not count for anything.

With their quasi-Legendary power and mastery over sixty to seventy threads of law, they believed he was no match—someone they could crush at will.

However, they never expected the situation would reverse so quickly.

The corners of their eyes twitched uncontrollably, seeing the laws flashing on Chen Fan, numbering sixty threads. In mere hours, his strength had surged to the quasi-Legendary level.

They quickly realized that he must have consumed the Red Spider Lilies while they were struggling to live. Clearly, he’d done so to power up and ambush them the moment they escaped the lake.

“Hmph, Chen Fan, do you really think you are our equal now? Stop dreaming! It’s better for us that you didn’t run away. Your head is worth a lot in our holy cult!” Huo Qi said viciously.

There was a meter-long wound on his chest, flesh torn inside out and bones visible. The blood flowing out of it was black-colored, evidently poisoned by the jiangshi.

“You’ll find out very soon whether I am a match for you. You’re not the only one aiming for my head. Not even Nie Han could kill me, let alone a quasi-Legendary like you. Today will be the day you die, Huo Qi!”

Clasping his hand, the Holy Spear of the Sun appeared in Chen Fan’s grasp. Resplendent light burst out, and the power of the sun swept out.

Beishan Xue and Beishan Hong’s expressions turned pitch-black at the sight of the spear.

Chen Fan pointed at Fu Buping with the Holy Spear of the Sun and said, “And you, didn’t you want to take me down and take my Red Spider Lily? I still have more than twenty of them on me. Come and take them.”

Fu Buping’s face turned ashen, staring at him coldly.

Originally, Chen Fan was nothing in his eyes, but the tables had turned. Only half a day had passed, but Chen Fan was now threatening him, and he couldn’t even rebuke him.

Now, he was no weaker than when Fu Buping was at his peak condition. Chen Fan stood before him, stronger than ever, while he, wounded and running at half strength, could no longer fight back.

Yet as someone who had been renowned for years, the humiliation of being threatened like this made his blood boil.

Even though Chen Fan’s strength had soared by leaps and bounds, they didn’t need to be scared of him if they joined hands.

“Chen Fan, you’d better hand over the Red Spider Lilies obediently, and we can still spare your life,” Bai Yang said righteously, an inexplicable look of greed flashing in his eyes.

Twenty-some Red Spider Lilies were a huge fortune. No one would want to let it go.

“Spare my life? How truly ridiculous. You people are now a bunch of stray dogs with nothing to rely on, and you still dare to threaten me?” Chen Fan sneered coldly.

They truly didn’t understand the meaning of death, refusing to back down even though they knew the jiangshi were about to awaken. Greed had clouded their judgment.

Suddenly, Cao Guang said, “I’m sorry, our Battle Saint Palace isn’t interested. We’ll be taking our leave first!”
