Chapter 522: Chapter 189: Being Chased and Killed by Ye Hongyan (6053 words)_2
Chen Fan’s expression darkened as he spoke. After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Unfortunately, I arrived a bit too late. By the time I got there, the nine children had already been nailed to the stone pillars.”
Ye Hao and Shen Daodao remained silent, but their fists clenched with cracking sounds.
Chen Fan went on, “The murderous intent in my heart surged…”
He recounted everything that happened in the Dusty Mist Canyon, which shocked Ye Hao and Shen Daodao to their core.
However, Chen Fan glossed over his indirect role in the death of the Li Family elder and his actions as the “protector” of the Sky Demon Sect with just a few simple sentences.
After finishing his story, Chen Fan leaned against the mountain wall and took a breath: “Have you guys heard of the Li Family from Demon City? Are they formidable?”
“The Li Family in Demon City is a Grade Eight realm,” Chu Xuan said unemotionally as she approached. “And there are more than one. They are even more famous than the Feng Family where Feng Tianlin is from.”
Chen Fan:
Back in East Sea City, he didn’t hesitate to beat Feng Tianlin up.
That night, Feng Tianlin was also beaten up by Snowy and the goblins.
However, that was just a minor scuffle.
In the end, Feng Tianlin bowed his head and ran to the Beast Trainer Association to ask Chen Fan for help in raising his beast, and they both laughed off the animosity between them.
Even if Feng Tianlin didn’t bow down, the Feng Family would not have bothered with Chen Fan over such a trivial matter.
But the Li Family’s situation is different.
He had killed Li Xinghe and so many people from the Li Family…
Chu Xuan suddenly said, “The Nightmare Hall’s people killed Li Xinghe; the Li Family won’t let this go.”
“Huh?” Shen Daodao was startled. “Isn’t Li Xinghe…?”
“Thud!”
Ye Hao punched Shen Daodao’s head.
Shen Daodao was stunned before continuing, “Who’s Li Xinghe? What happened to Li Xinghe? I’ve never even heard this name before!”
“The only thing I care about is whether I can change to a higher-level battle armor once I get to the First Martial Arts University in Demon City!”
Chu Xuan and her companions looked at the shattered battle armor on Chen Fan’s body.
That was a battle armor worth hundreds of millions of union coins…
They didn’t expect it to be destroyed so quickly.
But…
Chu Xuan and Ye Hao exchanged glances, revealing puzzled expressions.
Their battle armors, like Chen Fan’s, were of the same level.
However, how could this level of armor withstand a claw attack from a Grade Six realm?
After undergoing demonic transformation, the strongman of Nightmare Hall was even more powerful than an ordinary Grade Six realm. Yet, his one claw only ripped Chen Fan’s battle armor apart?
“Stop looking!”
Chen Fan rolled his eyes and said, “I still have several layers of shields on my body. Do you think my only means of protection is this battle armor?”
“However, Daodao is right; I need to get stronger armor indeed.”
“Absolutely don’t follow the example of those idiots from Nightmare Hall, who think they’re so tough and strut around in black robes… If they were wearing armor like ours, it wouldn’t have been so easy for me to kill them.”
Chu Xuan and her companions: “…”
Chen Fan continued, “We’ll take a break today and set off tomorrow morning. Let’s see if there are any larger caves around here to rest in.”
Chu Xuan and her companions, with the Desert Wind Falcon and Blackie, split up and searched for a large cave nearby.
They drove the Green-Eyed Stone Golems out of the cave and blocked its entrance with a large boulder.
It was late into the night, and all was quiet.
Chu Xuan, Ye Hao, and their companion closed their eyes, circulated “Sacred Demon Art,” and immersed themselves in cultivation.
With his injuries, Chen Fan had a rare moment of peace, lying in a pile of weeds and falling into a deep sleep…
The sky darkened, shrouded in cold and damp mist.
Chen Fan, carrying a mountain-like stone pillar, sprinted wildly in the sky.
It seemed as if there was a horrifying enemy chasing him from behind.
What the hell?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
Why am I carrying a pillar while running?
Chen Fan desperately wanted to throw the pillar away, but it was stuck to him and wouldn’t budge.
However, these thoughts only flashed through his mind briefly.
Soon enough, Chen Fan felt a sudden panic…
Because, from behind, a murderous red shadow was rapidly approaching!
Ye Hongyan’s voice echoed in the distance: “Chen Fan, leave the Tongtian Divine Column behind! It’s the foundation of our Dutian Ye Clan! You bastard, stealing our clan’s spiritual artifact, causing chaos in our Dutian Ye Clan! Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll have your skin peeled, bones crushed, and ashes scattered!”
Chen Fan shouted back without looking: “Come on, I’m not afraid of you!”
“Let’s see if you’re even able to catch this old man!”
A sword light responded to his taunt.
A terrifying sword light streaked across the sky, slashing down at him.
Chen Fan jumped in fright and escaped with a quick dart.
The sword light fell, splitting a star in two.
The two halves of the star instantly exploded!
“This crazy woman…”
Chen Fan mustered all his strength.
He tried to throw away the Tongtian Divine Column.
However, somehow, he just couldn’t let go.
From behind, Ye Hongyan chased relentlessly.
In the darkness, it was as if mysterious eyes were watching them.
Chen Fan felt a bit terrified.
He wanted to run faster, but his speed was getting slower and slower, as if he was trapped in a swamp.
