Unrivaled Martial Emperor

"Kill!"

Following the bandit king's command, the fiendish, nefarious qi swept toward Jia Yuanji and the others.

They had no way to retreat, so they could only risk their lives and fight.

"Everyone, enough talk. Let's kill them all!"

Rumble!

Jia Yuanji and the others' cultivation erupted violently, unleashing a storm of dazzling techniques at the Ten Vicious Bandits.

They had the numerical advantage; in terms of overall combat strength, they were still lacking, as all ten of the bandits had mastered eighty to ninety threads of law, making them nearly as strong as a Lesser Legendary realm expert.

In contrast, Jia Yuanji's force numbered over a hundred, yet only two or three had mastered more than seventy law threads. Many were merely at the Lesser Peak Manifestation or even the ninth-level Manifestation realm.

A huge, tragic battle broke out in an instant.

The various attacks were resplendently breathtaking, dazzling the people.

The Ten Vicious Bandits were like ten incomparably savage wolves. They pounced into the herd of sheep and went on a fierce killing spree.

Fresh blood immediately spattered. Limbs were broken. Miserable screams rang out continuously.

"Ahhh..."

In the face of the Ten Vicious Bandits' cruel slaughter, Jia Yuanji and the others were utterly overwhelmed.

Even the strongest quasi-Legendary experts, who had surrounded the bandit king, were pushed back repeatedly by him, spewing fresh blood furiously, faces pale with fear.

"Hahahaha, a bunch of losers like you dare to fight us? How ridiculous. You're just a group of beasts. You should have obediently washed your necks clean and waited for the slaughter. Still dreaming of a fight? What a joke!" One of the vicious bandits laughed out loud.

Fierce nefarious qi condensed into sharp claws and tore Gao Xuan, an elite of the True Martial Academy, to pieces, blood spraying everywhere.

"Gao Xuan!" Fighting alongside Gao Xuan, Li Hong cried out loud, feeling sympathy for his comrade in similar distress.

"Haha, what are you shouting for? It'll be your turn soon."

......

Swish, swish.

In the sky, Chen Fan whizzed forth like lightning, covering a great distance in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm, it should be right ahead."

His gaze seemed to penetrate an endless distance in space, gazing at the Heavenly Wind Valley formed from two enormous mountain ranges ahead.

Soon, he closed in on the Heavenly Wind Valley.

Meanwhile, the massacre in the Heavenly Wind Valley was nearing its end.

Over a hundred people, drawn by the news and trapped, were slaughtered by the Ten Vicious Bandits. Jia Yuanji and the others barely managed to fight back; the strength gap was simply too vast. Numbers alone couldn't bridge it.

Puchi!

The bandit king killed an expert who had mastered seventy-some threads of law with a punch, raised his eyebrow, and said, "Someone is here."

He already sensed an aura rapidly approaching their position.

That crafty-looking, vicious bandit smiled and said, "No need to worry about them, Big Brother. That aura belongs to a mere Lesser Peak Manifestation realm expert. They're just another fool rushing to die."

"That's right." The other vicious bandits nodded one after another.

They all noticed Chen Fan's aura. But to them, someone as "weak" as him wasn't worth a glance.

Even now, they'd already killed dozens at that level, perhaps twenty or thirty, maybe even fifty. To them, even quasi-Legendary realm experts were like ants.

Swoosh!

Naturally, Chen Fan saw the massacre going on in the Heavenly Wind Valley.

"Go to hell, kid!"

Boom!

Just as Chen Fan flew over, a swift and fierce palm seal formed from nefarious qi blasted over, making the space tremble violently.

One of the vicious bandits had struck, no questions asked, no concern for who Chen Fan was. To him, killing a Lesser Peak Manifestation realm was no more effort than swatting a fly.

Chla!

However, a fierce streak of sword qi instantly tore apart this palm of nefarious qi, then flashed through the air like lightning, cleaving the attacking bandit clean in two.

"What?"

The remaining vicious bandits were instantly stunned.

They had completely dismissed the approaching figure, assuming Chen Fan was just another fat sheep lured by their false news.

Unexpectedly, he was a wolf—no, a monster in sheep's clothing.

Jia Yuanji got a clear look at the newcomer. When he saw that it was Chen Fan, he immediately exclaimed out loud, even weeping from joy.

"Chen Fan! It's Chen Fan!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. It's Chen Fan. It's our academy's disciple, Chen Fan. We're saved, we're saved!"

His excitement was only natural.

Moments ago, they had also sensed the incoming aura and nearly despaired.

Surprisingly, the Lesser Peak Manifestation realm turned out to be Chen Fan. It felt like being lifted from hell to heaven in an instant.

"Is it really Chen Fan? Haha, it really is! We're really saved! The heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes!"

"Our savior is here! Our savior is here!"

Many recognized him from portraits; seeing the real Chen Fan brought tears to their eyes.

They thought they couldn't escape this disaster; unexpectedly, Chen Fan had come. They were saved.

"What? The True Martial Academy's Chen Fan!"

The Ten Vicious Bandits had also heard of Chen Fan's great name, so they were greatly shocked.

"Big Brother, what do we do? It's actually Chen Fan!"

The vicious bandits turned their gazes towards the bandit king.

Chen Fan's fame was too great, making them feel incredibly apprehensive.

The bandit king's eyes darted around, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you scared of? Haven't we faced worse? It's just Chen Fan. What are you afraid of him for! Given our current strength, even though we've lost Seventh, with us nine joining hands, we can still fight against a Legend. Chen Fan won't gain the slightest edge over us, Ten Vicious Bandits!"

The other eight bandits nodded at the bandit king's words, and their gazes became ferocious.

"Boss is right. One-on-one, we'd lose. But together, we can fight even a Lesser Legendary. We do not need to be scared of him."

"Right!"

"Exactly!"

With Chen Fan's arrival, the Ten Vicious Bandits stopped their massacre. Instead, they grouped up, nefarious qi surging from them. Channeling their cultivation, they stared at Chen Fan with cold gazes.

The remaining twenty to thirty people let out sighs of relief.

If Chen Fan had arrived half an incense stick's time later, they would have been wiped out by the bandits.

Although they were still alive, they had all suffered considerable injuries.

Thankfully, Chen Fan had come, giving them a reason to hope.

Swish!

Jia Yuanji flitted over to Chen Fan at once. Seeing Chen Fan, he simply felt even more excited as if seeing family after a brush with death.

"Chen Fan, you're finally here. The Ten Vicious Bandits are too much. They purposely laid down a trap to lure us here, planning to slaughter us all and seize our treasures. Gao Xuan and Li Hong have already died." Jia Yuanji gave a summary of what happened.
