Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1099 - Ten Shadow Supremes

“Here for the bounty?” Chen Fan asked with a faint smile, laced with mockery.

They weren’t the first group to come for him—nor the second, or even the third.

Countless had already tried to claim the bounty on his head.

“You catch on quick,” sneered the man in his fifties. He chuckled coldly and said, “Shame we’ve got no grudge, but your head is just worth too much. All ten of us, if we kill you, might be able to step into the Legendary realm. Not a bad way to die.”

The kill orders issued by the three overlord-class forces and the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect indeed carried hefty rewards. Enough, perhaps, to truly change one’s fate.

That’s why hunters flooded the battlefield. Drawn by greed, they chased Chen Fan like wolves scenting blood.

“State your names,” Chen Fan said indifferently.

Too many had come to kill him. None had succeeded. These ten wouldn’t be any different. Since they wanted death, a reaper should visit them.

“Fine, no point dying without knowing who sent you to hell.” The leader laughed very confidently, feeling as if the outcome was set. He firmly believed that Chen Fan couldn’t escape from their grasp. “I am the boss of the Ten Shadow Supremes, and they are my brothers.”

Feeling certain of victory, he even began introducing them one by one, completely underestimating the storm that stood before them.

In all honesty, their confidence stemmed from real strength. Even the weakest brother had already mastered twenty threads of law.

As for the boss himself, he had the power of sixty threads of law on his side, making him as strong as the peerless prides of heaven of the overlord class forces.

And since they were all rogue cultivators, they had a wealth of experience. They were far more experienced than people like Beishan Xue.

From powerless obscurity, they had risen, scar by scar, into mighty experts. Their every step had been paved in blood. If it came down to a real fight, someone like Beishan Xue might not even be able to stand against them.

That was the source of their confidence.

The boss of the Ten Shadow Supremes said with contempt, “Chen Fan, don’t bother hoping for a miracle. You’re destined to meet your doom now that you’ve encountered us Ten Shadow Supremes. I know that you killed Bai Yang, Fu Buping, and those so-called peerless prides of heaven, but I’ll tell you the truth. They don’t count for anything in our eyes. They’re simply dogshit with false reputations.”

His brothers puffed their chests and nodded in agreement, their disdain obvious.

It was hard to blame them for their attitude. Unlike Bai Yang and the others, who were backed by powerful sects and abundant resources, these men had risen through sheer grit. Yet they still reached comparable levels of strength. To them, Bai Yang, Fu Buping, and the others’ reputation was nothing but empty praise.

From their perspective, if Bai Yang and the others did not have the support of their sects, they would’ve never made it past mediocrity.

“You’re mistaken. I don’t kill nameless nobodies.” Chen Fan waved his hand, interrupting the endless droning of the Ten Shadow Supremes’ boss. His mouth cracked open, revealing his white teeth, which shone brilliantly under the sunlight.

The boss of the Ten Shadow Supremes was taken aback, caught off guard by Chen Fan’s reply. His face immediately sank, looking very ugly. He said coldly, “Indeed, you’re exactly as described, arrogant and conceited. Do you think we’re losers like Bai Yang and Fu Buping? Even with death at your doorstep, you’re still clueless.”

“Boss is right. You think you're unbeatable just because you killed a few dogshit prides of heaven? Bai Yang and his lot were worse than dogshit. They were already half-dead after fighting off hordes of jiangshi. You just picked them off after they were spent, and now you act like you're invincible?” said the second in charge of the Ten Shadow Supremes indignantly. freewebnoveℓ.com

After word spread that Chen Fan had slain Bai Yang and the others, the Yellow Spring lake had become a magnet for martial artists.

Despite the jiangshi swarming the area, their numbers couldn’t compete with human greed.

The temptation of the Red Spider Lilies was irresistible for them. Even the overlord class forces sent teams led by Legendary realm experts, while powerful rogue cultivators also flocked to the area. Together, they formed a force of thousands, scouring the modestly sized Yellow Spring Lake year-round to hunt jiangshi and collect Red Spider Lilies."

Soon, the jiangshi were wiped out completely, and the lilies stripped bare. In the end, the jiangshi weren’t the true threat—human desire was.

Chen Fan had heard of the Ten Shadow Supremes before. They were ten sworn brothers, and they had committed numerous evil acts over the years.

They weren’t just ruthless on the ancient battlefield, they had also left a bloody trail across the Tianwu Continent. Sworn brothers bound by violence and sin, their reputation was soaked in evil.

The cultivation technique they practiced even needed the sacrifice of human souls. Entire regions, spanning hundreds of kilometers, had been wiped clean by their hands. They were infamous and were no better than the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, and many considered them just as deserving of eradication.

Though these ten people were rogue cultivators, rumors said that they obtained an incredible legacy, so no one would underestimate them.

Some Legendary realm experts had even taken action against them, but they caught wind of it and fled to the Dead Region.

Therefore, they had gotten off scot-free for years, and no one could do anything about them.

With the ancient battlefield now open, they struck often and hard, seizing opportunity after opportunity. It was said that their cultivation levels had increased significantly in a short period.

“Big Brother, Second Brother, don’t waste your breath on someone about to die. Just kill him before others arrive and demand a share of the pie. The rewards offered by the three overlord class forces and even the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect are our hope of advancing to the Legendary realm. With us all being Legends, we can carve out our own sect on the Tianwu Continent.” The youngest of the Ten Shadow Supremes was the most anxious to kill him.

“That’s right, Big Brother, Second Brother, you don’t even have to make a move. I can slaughter him.” The eyes of the third brother of the Ten Shadow Supremes shone with a hint of killing intent and greed.

The others were also clamoring to kill Chen Fan immediately and claim the rewards from the major forces.

“Even filth like you wants to establish a sect? What a big joke!” Chen Fan did not panic in the slightest in the face of the Ten Shadow Supremes’ cold killing intent. His eyes flashed with even icier killing intent, and he said, “Fine, fine, you people have committed much evil. Allowing you to live for any longer will only bring about disasters. Since you’ve sent yourselves to my doorsteps today, I’ll just go ahead and eradicate you people to soothe the souls of your victims and return a clear sky to this world.”
