Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 429 – Confrontation

“He’s here!”

No one knew who had said that, but the Life and Death Hall fell silent immediately.

Everyone’s gaze shifted toward the entrance, where a figure clad in white appeared, steadily growing larger in view.

Feng Tianxia had been resting with his eyes closed in the arena. His eyes shot open, emitting a fierce light that seemed to cut through the air like a blade.

Everyone held their breaths, with only the sound of Chen Fan's footsteps breaking the quiet.

Tap, tap, tap...

“You’re finally here, Chen Fan!” Feng Tianxia’s icy voice broke the silence, brimming with undisguised killing intent.

Swish!

The crowd felt a breeze sweep past. Their vision blurred momentarily before they realized that Chen Fan had disappeared and reappeared in the life and death arena, standing opposite Feng Tianxia.

“What, you’re in that much of a hurry to die? Don’t you appreciate me letting you live for another few hours?” Chen Fan said leisurely, looking at Feng Tianxia indifferently and ignoring his killing intent. It was as if Feng Tianxia was already a dead man in his eyes.

Feng Tianxia laughed out loud. However, his laughter sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

“Such empty boasts. I think you just wanted to delay your death by a few hours.”

Chen Fan sneered and said disdainfully, “Even Duan Jingtian couldn’t kill me, let alone you! What, you think you’re invincible after becoming his lapdog and advancing to the fifth level? You’re simply courting death, you know that!”

“Such arrogance!” Feng Tianxia was enraged.

He burned with fury!

Although his meeting with Duan Jingtian had been secret, matters like that couldn’t stay hidden for long. Everyone had already guessed that he went to the Black Wind Cliff to pledge his allegiance to Duan Jingtian.

However, people discussed such gossip behind closed doors.

Who would dare to say it out loud in front of him? Well, Chen Fan made one.

He even called him Duan Jingtian’s dog. How humiliating was that!

He had never felt this humiliated in his entire life.

The icy aura surrounding Feng Tianxia grew stronger, making the air nearby swirl chaotically, whipping up a fierce wind in all directions.

Many recoiled, feeling the seething rage stemming from Feng Tianxia. His fury seemed unquenchable as if it could burn through the four seas.

“What, did I step on your tail?” Chen Fan wasn’t affected by Feng Tianxia’s aura.

Like a steadfast reef amidst turbulent waters, he maintained his composure. He smiled coldly and continued, “You dared to commit the act, so why not own up to it? Who here doesn’t know that you went to visit Duan Jingtian? Pledging your allegiance to him is no different from being his dog! Others may cower in fear, but not me! To me, you're nothing more than a dead dog!"

Feng Tianxia’s eyes become bloodshot, threatening to burst in anger.

However, he took a deep breath, and a mocking smile sppeared on his face. “Hoho, what a scheme. I nearly fell for your tricks, you little bastard! Hoping to provoke me with your words, I see. I have to admit, you’ve very nearly succeeded.”

Chen Fan was momentarily taken aback; soon, he sneered and said, “You're overthinking my actions and overestimating yourself.”

“Enough excuses! I shall cut you down in front of everyone today. There won’t be a way out for you in heaven or earth!” Feng Tianxia said coldly, his expression savage and cruel.

A powerful aura instantly erupted from him.

An invisible force seemed to grip the throats of everyone present except the holy disciples, tightening their breaths.

Tap!

Feng Tianxia stepped forward, and his aura suddenly skyrocketed, reaching the clouds. A fierce wind swept through, and dark clouds gathered ominously.

His aura was chilling and powerful, growing along with his footsteps. This chilling aura pressed forward, like a huge army bearing down on the borders, pushing toward Chen Fan.

“What a terrifying aura. So, this is the strength of a holy disciple, the pressure of a Core Formation realm!”

“I feel like I’m about to suffocate under this aura. Feng Tianxia is easily among the top five holy disciples now!”

Many onlookers watched with trepidation as Feng Tianxia's aura continued to rise.

He was gathering momentum!

A fifth-level Core Formation realm expert gathering momentum was enough to scare any martial artists below the Core Formation realm to death.

Yet, amidst the tempest, Chen Fan remained steadfast. Unmoved by the powerful aura, he stood firm as the winds blew against him, his clothes fluttering but his stance unwavering.

Just as Feng Tianxia’s aura was about to reach its peak, Chen Fan suddenly said, “Feng Tianxia, I have to say, you’ve truly disappointed me. Did you think you could sway my mind with such tricks? You're merely revealing petty skills before a master, overestimating yourself!"

With Chen Fan's words, it seemed an invisible force erupted, crashing against Feng Tianxia's aura and shattering it, restoring calm to the scene.

Feng Tianxia narrowed his gaze and dashed toward his opponent. When he was about ten meters away from Chen Fan, he threw out a palm strike.

“Blazing Sun Cloud Brushing Hand!”

Whoosh!

The air instantly heated up.

A fierce heat wave swept toward Chen Fan mercilessly like a towering wave. The entire space shook violently.

Woo, woo, woo. Woo, woo, woo...

Wild wind and huge waves swept. The winds were burning, and the waves were fiery. The heavens and earth seemed to shift hues as countless onlookers gasped in disbelief.

The palm strike could easily kill someone at the third level, but Chen Fan showed no fear at all.

“Petty tricks!”

He took a step forward, his aura rising to the skies, rolling the winds and the clouds, as if he was manipulating the powers of heaven and earth.

Next, he punched.

Undefeated King’s Fist!

He didn’t need tricks or plans. He just threw a punch. The fierce and dominating force shot out like a cannonball, producing a deafening and furious roar.

Rumble!

Their attacks collided. A deafening boom rang out, followed by fierce winds and huge waves sweeping out in all directions. The entire life and death arena trembled violently.

Chen Fan ignored the whirlwinds and hurricanes that could kill those below the Core Formation realm.

He strode forth imposingly, taking huge steps as his aura continued climbing. He was like a god of war, walking in the mortal world.

“Reveal all your tricks and abilities, Feng Tianxia. Do you really think these petty moves are enough to defeat me?!”

Chen Fan’s cultivation erupted fiercely. His fists moved, and numerous forces that could blow up mountains rushed out from his fists, shrouding the area and sealing Feng Tianxia within.
