Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 540 - Breaking Off Relations

Their scorn didn’t anger Chen Fan, as he knew well that in this world, strength determined everything. He also knew that revealing his strength to Luo Qian would bring him no benefits.

The Flying Eagle Alliance members in the valley were geniuses from various empires. In their respective forces, they were hailed as the top one or two holy disciples. Otherwise, they wouldn\'t have secured a spot on this island.

The crowd had gathered here to rest and wait for more people to arrive, slowly forming an alliance. The trial had yet to officially begin, and they were the early arrivals. Once the trial started, the competition would become even fiercer.

Besides competing with each other, they also had to be cautious of the Hidden Dragon Island\'s environment.

Most people here were not here to fight but to search for legacies and natural treasures. There was no need to make unnecessary enemies.

Of course, when it was time to fight, they would do so; if necessary, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill.

Soon, three days passed.

Many more people had found this valley and joined the Flying Eagle Alliance.

The Flying Eagle Alliance had over a hundred members now, with the strongest Xiao Zhen serving as alliance leader and Liu Xin and Luo Qian serving as vice-alliance leaders.

As they searched for treasures, having the alliance as support made a significant difference.

Chen Fan’s behavior was rather slack and he operated alone. Few people recognized him due to his sporadic appearances.

At some point, a small city was built in the valley. Building a city was nothing difficult for these Core Formation realm experts with remarkable abilities.

When Chen Fan returned to the valley one day, he realized the number of people had fallen drastically. From the original hundred-plus, only forty to fifty remained.

He supposed that those unwilling to stay behind had left, and the remaining people were the true Flying Eagle Alliance members. Still, he saw many new faces.

He happened to run into a group of about ten martial artists, rushing over from outside.

The leader was a withered, skinny man dressed in leather clothing, with disheveled hair and a sinister, concealed face.

A huge tiger was lying on the ground in front of him, its low roars echoing through the valley. He was probably a frightening expert from some tribe.

This group of ten or so people seemed to be waiting to enter the city, and the alliance members guarding the city gates also appeared unfamiliar to Chen Fan. Soon, the small city’s gates opened.

With his head held high and his chest puffed out, the withered and skinny man was about to enter. The people behind him walked slowly, not daring to overtake him.

However, someone dressed in white walked over first, overtaking the group.

A cruel look flashed in the withered man’s eyes. The ferocious tiger, which was mentally connected to him, roared so ferociously that the skies shook. It turned into a streak of yellow-black lightning and tried to sneak attack Chen Fan from behind.

The tiger opened its mouth wide to bite Chen Fan to death. Its terrifying aura spread out in all directions. The nearby gate guards and those following the withered man were all slightly shaken.

While they weren’t weak, being at the seventh, eighth, or ninth level of the Core Formation realm, the tiger was at the peak of the ninth level.

Surprisingly, that demonic beast was stronger than the geniuses of many nations. They couldn’t help but be intimidated.

Sensing the dangerous aura coming from behind him, Chen Fan immediately grew furious.

The attack was sudden, but Chen Fan just as quickly retaliated with a backhanded palm strike.

Boom tch!

The palm strike hit the huge demonic beast, crushing all its bones. It went flying out, spewing fresh blood wildly. It crashed near the withered man’s feet and breathed its last, unable to even let out a cry.

The quick exchange dumbfounded everyone.

They had thought that Chen Fan would be torn apart by the beast because he had offended a cruel person. Unexpectedly, he killed the tiger with one palm strike.

“How is that possible? That beast was at the peak of the ninth level. It could have ruled a huge area in the world outside. Who is he? How could he be so terrifying?”

The crowd’s hearts were thumping heavily.

If the demonic beast was at the peak of the ninth level, its master was bound to be even more formidable—an invincible expert in the one-revolution Golden Core realm at the very least.

“You’re courting death!” The withered man was instantly enraged.

Just as he was about to make a move, a streak of rainbow light flew out from within the valley, revealing a tall and handsome youth. His face was frosty. It was none other than Luo Qian.

“Chen Fan, are you provoking our Flying Eagle Alliance?” Luo Qian found fault with Chen Fan as soon as he arrived.

“I’m not trying to provoke anyone, nor do I want to cause trouble. If I’m not welcomed here, I’ll leave right away,” answered Chen Fan calmly even as the flames of anger slowly rose inside him.

Luo Qian was trying to blame him without investigating the matter. However, he did not want to escalate the situation.

“You want to leave after killing my mount? Isn’t that a little too late!” The withered man stared fixedly at Chen Fan with his sinister eyes.

“I would advise you not to find trouble with me. I can slaughter two-revolution Golden Core realm trash like I am slaughtering a chicken or a duck,” Chen Fan said, narrowing his eyes.

“Insolence! Chen Fan, you still dare to act arrogant!” Luo Qian shouted furiously.

“Are you blind? Who exactly is the one acting arrogant here!” Chen Fan shot a cold gaze at Luo Qian. The latter instantly felt as if a ferocious beast was targeting him; his heart began trembling.

Luo Qian’s expression immediately became incomparably ugly, feeling as if his authority was being challenged. He shot a fierce gaze at Chen Fan. They were like two sharp swords and were incomparably cold.

“Brother Luo, I, Aguda, came here at your invitation, but he killed my precious companion. I can’t be appeased if I don’t kill him today!”

The withered youth, Aguda, stared at Chen Fan with a sinister gaze.

Chen Fan had killed his demonic tiger mount and insulted him, saying that killing him was no different from slaughtering poultry. This was the worst humiliation he ever suffered in his life. He needed to kill Chen Fan to wash away the shame.

“I don’t mind sending you off if you wish to die!” Chen Fan said coldly.

“You’re acting really arrogant here. Are you trying to provoke all the martial artists of our Flying Eagle Alliance?” Luo Qian said, looking coldly at Chen Fan.

He would have killed Chen Fan long ago had he not been giving face to Xiao Zhen. Now, Chen Fan dared to act arrogant in front of him. He truly was asking to die!
