Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 553 - Desperate Fight

He was not joking when he said he would use his full strength.

That punch earlier had eighty to ninety percent of his full power, capable of easily killing a four-revolution Golden Core invincible expert.

Yet, Chen Fan was merely knocked down a hill, breaking several ribs and suffering severe injuries, but his life wasn’t in danger.

His physique truly surprised Nie Tao.

No wonder he could retrieve the Martial Dao Will fragment with his bare hands. He must have practiced a mighty body cultivation technique! Nie Tao thought, his gaze flickering as he watched Chen Fan climb out of the rubble.

Chen Fan\'s physical toughness was simply unbelievable to him. But regardless of how strong Chen Fan’s body was, there was no way he would escape death today!

Boom, boom!

Chen Fan rushed out from the pile of rubble, looking miserable and his chest hurting badly.

It was obvious that many of his ribs were broken, with some bones piercing his organs, leaving him severely injured.

Chen Fan did not charge blindly. After several exchanges, he clearly understood the vast difference in strength between them.

Before reaching the one-revolution Golden Core realm, all he could do when facing a five-revolution Golden Core expert was to receive a one-sided beating, putting his life in danger.

Chen Fan examined his surroundings, looking for a route to escape.

“Thinking of running?” Nie Tao noticed Chen Fan’s subtle action.

There was no way Nie Tao could let Chen Fan flee. Aside from Chen Fan’s earlier insults that earned him certain death, just his extraordinary power at his current cultivation level made him a potential future threat.

If he grew any stronger, he could pose a threat to not just Nie Tao but also to Yin Jiu, the alliance leader. Also, given their existing grudge, Nie Tao couldn’t let him survive.

“Die!” With a cold shout, Nie Tao struck decisively, aiming to kill.

His aura became even colder and more aggressive. He rushed toward Chen Fan like a heavenly god. A deathly aura instantly shrouded Chen Fan.

Realizing that Nie Tao had seen through his intentions, Chen Fan knew that escaping wouldn’t be easy. He had to brace himself and fight, hoping to find an opportunity to flee during the battle.

Nie Tao struck decisively, wiping out any opportunities for Chen Fan to escape. He formed seals with both hands and unleashed a powerful force, engulfing Chen Fan in boundless true primeval.

The energy swept across, shaking the universe.

This was the power of a five-revolution Golden Core realm expert. It crushed Chen Fan’s attack. Overwhelmed by the immense force, Chen Fan coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

Although Chen Fan’s physique was incredibly strong, Nie Tao’s attacking power surpassed what he could withstand. He was beaten to a very miserable state.

However, this also stimulated his ferocity. He fought back fiercely, the Strength of Myriad Elephants erupting wildly.

The Heaven Seizing Furnace was also revolving fiercely, suppressing the terrifying energy that had rushed inside him. His desperate demeanor and ferocity left Nie Tao feeling somewhat apprehensive, giving him pause.

Bang!

The energy detonated, unleashing a storm that shook the earth and mountains and even caused the stars to tremble.

Chen Fan was repeatedly knocked back, coughing up blood and looking utterly wretched. The otherworldly space-time behind him wavered as if it was on the verge of shattering.

Yet, his gaze remained fiercely locked on Nie Tao.

Nie Tao’s expression was ugly. Despite using his full strength, he hadn’t expected such difficulty in dealing with Chen Fan, filling him with shame and anger.

“You puny ant—no, you damn cockroach! You’re even harder to deal with than a four-revolution Golden Core martial artist. I can’t let you live. Cutting the grass without removing its roots will only allow it to grow back with time. Go to hell!” Nie Tao said viciously, his aura exploding as he channeled his cultivation.

His aura shook heaven and earth and covered the sky. Demonic beasts within a twenty-five-kilometer radius prostrated themselves, trembling in fear.

Nie Tao formed a strange beast in his hand, which roared furiously at the sky before charging at Chen Fan. In between its breath, columns of flame shot out, burning through space.

He had unleashed his full power, holding nothing back.

Chen Fan shouted, his energy visibly flowing on him, almost becoming tangible.

The qi and blood inside him flowed noisily, like rivers and lakes. An unrivaled light burst forth from him and met Nie Tao’s attack fearlessly like the reincarnation of an ancient conqueror.

Rumble!

A terrifying collision instantly erupted.

A boundless storm swept out, layer by layer. The air was whipped into a thousand waves, crashing and exploding, rippling in all directions.

The terrifying force shook endlessly in space. Chen Fan also flew out from within like a bird with its wings clipped.

Nie Tao didn’t fare much better. The impact pushed him back about ten steps. His gaze turned dark. This was the first time he had been knocked back after so many exchanges. It was humiliating and unforgivable.

His figure blurred as the surrounding space shook. The surrounding storms shattered, and he shot forward, creating a sonic boom as he charged at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan struck out with full force, sweeping out.

Without even looking, Nie Tao sent out a palm strike. His energy surged, sweeping heaven and earth, crushing everything.

Boom, boom, boom!

Explosions rang out endlessly. The terrifying force caused a large area of the air to collapse.

Chen Fan persevered, gritting his teeth tightly. A surge of energy erupted within him, constantly pushing back against Nie Tao.

Although Chen Fan shook fiercely from the impact, he clenched his teeth hard and did not retreat.

Boom!

Boundless energy exploded. Chen Fan was knocked back once more, spewing out a mouthful of blood.

“You must die today!”

Nie Tao also looked to be in a sorry state, his composure not as calm as before.

As a five-revolution Golden Core realm expert, he found it disgraceful to struggle so much against a peak ninth-level Core Formation realm opponent. One could only imagine how furious he was in his heart.

This only intensified his desire to kill Chen Fan.

It didn’t matter even if he failed to obtain the Martial Dao Will fragment, but he must slaughter Chen Fan to appease his hatred and wash away this shame!
