Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 885 - Colluding Together

When Su Tong and Xiao Yuanyuan spotted Chen Fan, they seemed to find salvation itself. Hope reignited in their eyes as they dashed to his side without hesitation.

Chen Fan, however, barely acknowledged them, staring at the jiangshi flying at them with a fiery gaze.

Swish.

That jiangshi traversed the distance in a flash, appearing in front of Chen Fan in a breath.

A terrifying pressure swept over like the ocean. This was no ordinary foe—it was a peak, late-stage half-step Manifestation realm jiangshi.

It wielded an enormous, rusted sword, the blade towering above its own massive frame. Its gloomy, brutal aura locked onto Chen Fan as it slashed at him at once, shaking the earth and the mountains.

Jiangshi cared nothing for identity or provocation. They only sought to annihilate any living being in their path.

“Human, how dare you barge into this general’s territory, you are seeking your own death!” The jiangshi’s voice was a guttural rasp, grating like a blade scraping across glass.

Boom, tch!

The sword’s swing tore the air apart, sending a crushing pressure cascading onto Chen Fan. The blade descended like a streak of lightning.

Chen Fan immediately raised his hand, catching this streak of sword light with one hand.

Clang!

Rings of light rippled out from Chen Fan’s palm, producing sounds similar to a loud bell.

Chen Fan's arm tingled with numbness, and his heart stirred with a flicker of astonishment. This jiangshi is strong. What terrifying strength!

This sword could cut down even a late-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm expert.

Suddenly, Yin qi surged through the tunnel, and the jiangshi roared, slashing at Chen Fan again.

Its massive sword, nearly an anti-cavalry blade, could cleave through a peerless beast in one strike.

Chen Fan countered with a punch, unleashing a flood dragon that ripped that falling blade light into pieces.

“Human, I didn’t think you would be this strong. Very well, perhaps I will advance a step further after devouring you.” Traces of disbelief flashed across the jiangshi’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced with excitement.

The stronger Chen Fan’s vitality, the more it would benefit from him.

It unleashed a barrage of blade lights. Streaks of terrifying blade lights fell like torrential rain, filling up the entire tunnel.

“Overestimating yourself!” Chen Fan laughed disdainfully.

Let alone the fact that Chen Fan’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds during the past month, he wouldn’t have feared this jiangshi even a month ago.

A green lotus condensed in Chen Fan’s palm and blossomed, turning into a streak of sword qi with unparalleled sharpness, slashing out and tearing the space apart.

“Still causing trouble after all this time? I’ll send you to your end!”

As he slashed out, Chen Fan kicked off from the ground, shattering the floor tile, and shot forth like a cannonball, rushing toward the jiangshi. His momentum was incredibly terrifying, sweeping like a towering wave.

Su Tong and Xiao Yuanyuan’s eyes flickered intensely, seeing Chen Fan’s heavenly god-like figure and feeling the terrifying pressure radiating from him.

They had also improved in the past month, having advanced to the middle-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to be on the run from such a terrifying jiangshi’s pursuit for so long.

But under the aura emanating from Chen Fan now, even with their sharp increase in cultivation and strength, they felt a crushing oppression that made their hearts tremble.

It was clear that the gap between them and Chen Fan hadn’t shrunk—it had only widened, filling them with a sense of defeat.

Clang!

That slash from Chen Fan broke the jiangshi’s anti-cavalry blade in half, and the terrifying sword qi continued on its path toward the jiangshi.

Boom, tch!

The slash cut through the jiangshi’s protective corpse qi and struck it, producing intense sparks, showing just how tough the jiangshi was.

By then, Chen Fan was already face to face with the jiangshi.

“Stay dead this time!”

His fist, like a sharp weapon capable of destroying anything, blasted toward the jiangshi’s head, aiming to obliterate it.

The jiangshi felt horrified in its heart and hurriedly executed its most powerful move.

“Ghostly Maxim of the Corpse Dao!” shouted the jiangshi furiously, unleashing a flood of corpse qi that instantly filled the space, turning it into a jiangshi kingdom as it charged toward Chen Fan.

Boom!

However, Chen Fan’s punch was simply unstoppable, shattering the jiangshi kingdom and releasing a burst of air as countless jiangshi silhouettes were annihilated, turning into green smoke.

Boom, thump!

Chen Fan’s fist crushed all of the jiangshi’s methods with overwhelming power and unstoppable momentum, finally landing on the jiangshi’s brow.

He withdrew his fist and retreated swiftly.

Crack, crack, crack...

As soon as Chen Fan landed, he saw cracks forming on the frozen jiangshi, starting from its glabella and spreading like shattered porcelain across it.

Puchi.

Next, the jiangshi shattered into fragments and turned into ashes with the wind, dissipating completely.

Su Tong and Xiao Yuanyuan were stunned.

They knew well the power of this jiangshi, having been pursued by it for so long.

But now, Chen Fan had obliterated it with just one punch. What kind of power was this?

Chen Fan looked at the two women and asked, “Why are only you two left? Where are the others? Did they all fall in battle?”

He could tell from their aura their new cultivation level, implying that they had made some gains in the tomb. The same should be true for Gu Tian and the others. If they joined forces, they should’ve been able to defeat this jiangshi.

“No, they set us up,” Xiao Yuanyuan said, gnashing her teeth.

Seeing Chen Fan now felt like a pillar of strength. Her initial attitude of displeasure toward Chen Fan was nowhere to be seen.

In truth, she hadn’t really done anything to him—she had only been picking on Su Tong, with Chen Fan caught in the crossfire.

“What exactly happened?”

He thought Gu Tian and the others had died in battle. It seemed that wasn’t the case.

“It’s all because of Shang Ziyan and Lei Yuanjie. The two of them were colluding together!” Xiao Yuanyuan uttered two names that shocked Chen Fan, her voice filled with resentment and hatred.

“That Lei Yuanjie, he led us into the trap set by Shang Ziyan and alarmed this slumbering jiangshi. In the end, Gu Tian died fighting, and both of us were also nearly killed by it. Chen Fan, you have to take revenge for us!” Xiao Yuanyuan said as if Chen Fan had always been on their side.
