Chapter 552 - Soaring Fighting Spirit
Chapter 552 - Soaring Fighting Spirit
Although he knew he was no match for Nie Tao, Chen Fan hadn’t expected to be injured as soon as they crossed blows.
He was completely outmatched and thoroughly crushed.
This feeling was the same as when he had crushed Luo Qian—a complete suppression in strength.
Chen Fan felt a sense of sobriety inside.
As expected, the gap between each level in the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core was like a vast gorge.
He could kill a three-revolution Golden Core expert. When facing a four-revolution expert, he could also put up a fight. However, before a five-revolution expert like Nie Tao, he was helpless.
The difference in their strengths was too great.
Still, he was far from afraid; on the contrary, his blood boiled even hotter, surging fiercely.
Strands of power grew within him, and his fighting spirit soared wildly.
“It’s no wonder you managed to defeat Luo Qian. You’re pretty good indeed, to only receive an injury from my Heaven Collapsing Palm. You should be proud of yourself.”
Nie Tao’s expression was as proud as ever. He looked down on Chen Fan like a heavenly god looking down on mortals in the lower realm.
“Hand over the Martial Dao Will fragment now, and I can grant you a quick death. Otherwise, you’ll experience so much pain and suffering you’ll be begging for death!” Nie Tao’s gaze was like a sinister snake, staring at Chen Fan coldly.
Boom!
However, the response he got was a terrifying halberd light flying toward him.
A cold light shot out from Nie Tao’s eyes as he said icily, “You truly are stubborn. Fine, if you won’t be convinced until faced with grim reality, I’ll grant your wish!”
A flash of light appeared at the tip of his finger, and a divine beam shot out, shattering Chen Fan’s halberd light into pieces.
Aiming with his finger once more, another divine light pierced through space like lightning, aiming to kill Chen Fan.
Chen Fan let out a deep shout and struck his palm out. His Northern Star Reaper Hand, infused with reaping intent, shattered the divine light and continued toward Nie Tao.
Nie Tao’s lips curled into a smirk as he disregarded the incoming Northern Star Reaper Hand.
“Petty tricks!”
His aura erupted, creating a visible shockwave that collided with the Northern Star Reaper Hand.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
Immediately, the two terrifying forces collided, causing a chain of explosions like firecrackers. The surrounding space shook violently.
“Meet your doom, Chen Fan. Dying in my hands wouldn’t be a disgrace to your reputation!”
Nie Tao charged forward, crushing the generated storm. He strode forth imposingly, each step radiating a powerful aura that pressed heavily on Chen Fan.
Nie Tao arrived in front of Chen Fan in a flash, as if the space between them had shrunk to an inch. He chopped down with a palm strike filled with overwhelming power, causing the space to clatter noisily.
Chen Fan immediately felt an incredibly terrifying force bearing down on him, plunging him into despair. He quickly launched a counterattack. The strength of ten thousand elephants instantly erupted as he punched, shattering space-time.
Thump!
However, the gap between the two was too great. Nie Tao’s palm strike destroyed his punch. A terrifying force swept over, wreaking havoc inside him.
Chen Fan revolved his Heaven Seizing Furnace at once to suppress and refine the terrifying force. Without it, his organs would have been completely destroyed.
With a cold gaze, Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...
The primeval qi of heaven and earth within a five-kilometer radius seemed to be drawn into him.
He immediately erupted with a terrifying pulsating aura. Heaven and earth shook. All kinds of vibrations shook the world, and even the void trembled.
“Die!”
Chen Fan was ablaze with fighting spirit, wrapped in an aura of unyielding resolve. Be it fighting against heaven or earth, he displayed an invincible might that instantly erupted. He rushed forward fearlessly.
Even if he had to face an immortal, he would fight with his halberd to the end.
The Purgatory Divine Halberd seemed to harness the powers of purgatory. It descended in a flash and slashed through space-time, aiming to drag Nie Tao into hell.
Nie Tao’s gaze flickered. He sensed a faint threat from this attack, which truly surprised him somewhat.
A peak ninth-level Core Formation realm brat posed a threat to a terrifying five-revolution Golden Core expert like him—unbelievable, even if word spread.
However, this feeling of threat was very faint, so he didn’t have to dodge. He simply raised his arm and grabbed at the void.
It caused millions of changes, billions of qi phenomena, created a world, and rotated the universe.
A terrifying and domineering palm appeared and caught the terrifying halberd light.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The halberd light trembled violently, trying to break through this large hand.
However, the palm clenched violently, and with a boom, the attack which could injure a four-revolution Golden Core realm expert was directly shattered.
“Hmph, looks like you’re making your final struggles. Fine, it seems I can only use my full strength to kill you!” Nie Tao’s expression was very cold.
He had thought Chen Fan was only a kitten, and he could easily seize the Martial Dao Will fragment from him. From the look of things now, however, Chen Fan wasn’t weak at all. He was comparable to a four-revolution Golden Core expert.
If he did not employ his full strength, it would be a little difficult to kill Chen Fan.
Nie Tao suddenly struck out, sending a punch that shook the very fabric of space.
Boom!
The terrifying fist force tore through the space ruthlessly like a vicious dragon, blasting toward Chen Fan. It was simply unstoppable. The air ahead was compressed, then torn apart, causing a chain of explosions.
Chen Fan’s expression changed drastically. He struck out with his left palm, unleashing a boundless golden light that transformed into a large golden palm. However, that terrifying fist force smashed it into smithereens.
Boom!
Before Chen Fan had a chance to summon a trace of true primeval, the residual fist force struck him, breaking through his protective true primeval and exploding.
A loud explosion rang out.
Boom!
Chen Fan was sent flying five kilometers backward like a sack of potatoes, crashing into a small hill and turning it into smithereens. He felt his organs rupture, and several of his ribs break.
Even though Chen Fan’s physique was incredibly strong, comparable to a Grade-3 or 4 treasure, Nie Tao’s full-powered punch still injured him.
If it wasn’t for the Myriad Elephants Divine Art, any other four-revolution Golden Core expert in his place would have been blown up by that punch across the air.
