Chapter 632 – Retreat
Chapter 632 – Retreat
“To make the Third Dragon Lord go all out against a mere second-level Divine Nascent realm cultivator—he should be proud, even if he dies.”
“I heard that just half a month ago, Third Dragon Lord personally fought a veteran fifth-level Divine Nascent realm expert for a Sky Dragon Token and killed them. With his bare hands!”
“That’s right. Now that he has taken the initiative to use the Flood Dragon Halberd, it speaks volumes about that guy’s strength. He’s definitely an apex expert among the younger generation. Otherwise, he would not have been able to force the Third Dragon Lord to go all out.”
“......”
The crowd’s gazes narrowed when they saw the Flood Dragon Halberd and broke out into murmurs.
Despite recognizing Chen Fan’s extraordinary strength, few believed he could stand against the Third Dragon Lord now.
Now that he was using his full strength, and had even brought out the Flood Dragon Halberd, Chen Fan couldn\'t defeat the Third Dragon Lord. His journey on the Ancient Trial Road would come to an end here.
The Flood Dragon Halberd swung through the air with unmatched force, like a razor-sharp blade cutting through space.
Everywhere it passed, the air ignited with explosive force, and the very fabric of space seemed to tear apart as if it were a delicate painting being shredded.
The sheer intensity of the attack created an overwhelming pressure that forced the onlookers to retreat instinctively as if they had encountered a god or a devil.
The fear of being caught in the destructive path of the halberd drove them back, knowing that remaining where they stood would mean being split in two in an instant.
A faint golden luster shone on Chen Fan.
It was as if his skin was cast from gold, radiating an aura of extreme oppression that seemed to stabilize the collapsing space around him.
Chen Fan stepped forward, shaking heaven and earth.
He threw out a punch like an ancient god, shattering the oncoming halberd force.
Hiss...
Countless people sucked in a breath of cold air at the sight.
In their eyes, Chen Fan was like a god or a devil. They couldn\'t believe what they were witnessing.
How could someone possess such a terrifyingly resilient physique that he could destroy the Third Dragon Lord\'s attack unarmed?
The halberd\'s force, powerful enough to kill a fourth-level Divine Nascent realm expert, had failed to even scratch Chen Fan. The sight was beyond terrifying—it was awe-inspiring.
Thump, thump!
Chen Fan continued pressing forward.
He was glowing with vigor, like a battle god, his fighting spirit high.
His Hegemonic Golden Body had reached the third level after getting tempered under the terrifying heavenly tribulation.
It could be said that the toughness of his physique was unimaginable now.
Boom, boom.
As Chen Fan strode through the air, heaven and earth shook as an extremely oppressive force descended on the Third Dragon Lord, making him narrow his gaze. He felt as if a desolate ancient beast was charging at him, wanting to tear him to shreds.
This feeling was new to him. He hadn’t felt such a strong sense of oppression in a long, long time.
It had always been he who instilled fear and dread in others. But now, with the situation reversed, a deep sense of humiliation surged within him.
“Courting death!” said the Third Dragon Lord with an icy look on his face. Swinging the Flood Dragon Halberd, a halberd light streaked across heaven and earth.
A towering wave of qi surged forth. The halberd light emerged from the qi wave, blasting fiercely toward Chen Fan.
The murderous qi formed an overwhelming wave, covering the sky and earth, sweeping down upon Chen Fan with the intent to annihilate him.
The prestige of a dragon lord was not to be challenged!
Chen Fan ignored this terrifying murderous qi and the towering sea of fury. Striding forth, he trampled everything under his feet. None of it could shake him in the slightest.
Chla!
The flood dragon halberd light tore through the air, possessing the might to kill a fifth-level Divine Nascent realm expert.
Yet, under the horrified gazes of the onlookers, Chen Fan reached out his palm—like the hand of a god—grasping the deadly halberd light.
The flood dragon halberd light erupted with wild, destructive force, but Chen Fan’s palm was like an immovable divine hand.
The sharp aura pushed against Chen Fan’s palm, producing clanging noises and bursts of sparks, but couldn’t break free.
Boom tch!
Chen Fan closed his palm fiercely under the shocked gazes of the crowd.
The terrifying flood dragon halberd light was instantly crushed. It seemed like he had just crushed a fierce and sinister flood dragon with his bare hand.
The crowd stood in stunned silence. What they had just witnessed was beyond comprehension.
“Dragon Lord?” After crushing the flood dragon halberd light, Chen Fan pressed forward through space, emitting rumbling noises, like he was a heavenly god. He charged toward the Third Dragon Lord and said, “What a joke!”
Chen Fan punched and the universe seemed to shatter.
The terrifying punch was wrapped in incomparably horrifying power and instantly erupted, blasting toward the Third Dragon Lord. The sheer momentum behind it was enough to leave anyone paralyzed with fear.
The Third Dragon Lord\'s expression darkened, but a cold, mocking smile curled at the corners of his lips.
He was the Third Dragon Lord, an invincible existence. How could he allow Chen Fan to challenge his prestige? Chen Fan\'s audacity would be met with a brutal reckoning.
Swinging the Flood Dragon Halberd, he unleashed a cold halberd light that was like a deathly glint. It destroyed Chen Fan’s fist force.
“Hmph.” Chen Fan scoffed, unfazed. He continued advancing, his palms blurring as he unleashed a barrage of palm seals that descended like towering mountains upon the Third Dragon Lord.
The Third Dragon Lord swung his Flood Dragon Halberd wildly. Halberd light flashed, instantly tearing a wide crack open in Chen Fan’s palm seals that were like heavy mountains and came rushing out, his aura shaking indescribably.
Boom!
The two figures crossed paths in a blur of speed. A streak of fresh blood splattered through the air—the Third Dragon Lord\'s Flood Dragon Halberd had lacerated Chen Fan\'s palm.
Although Chen Fan’s Hegemonic Golden Body was incomparably tough, allowing him to crush a Grade-5 treasure with his bare hands, the outcome was different when facing a weapon wielded by someone of the Third Dragon Lord\'s caliber.
If it was in the hands of a weakling, even if Chen Fan stood still, they would not be able to injure him in the slightest.
In the hands of a genius like the Third Dragon Lord, however, the power would be different.
Chen Fan did not say a word. This kind of superficial injury could not be considered an injury to him at all. With his freakish recovery speed, the wound would heal very quickly.
As Chen Fan stood there, a fleeting thought crossed his mind—this Third Dragon Lord was indeed formidable.
Given his current strength, he was definitely on par with a fifth-level Divine Nascent realm expert. However, he couldn’t gain an advantage over the Third Dragon Lord. His opponent was also a genius who could fight above his cultivation level.
However, what Chen Fan did not realize was that the Third Dragon Lord was even more astounded.
Rarely did he need to wield his weapon, and when he did, it was a sign that he was taking the fight with utmost seriousness.
Typically, once his weapon was drawn, the fight would quickly end in his favor, often with his opponent meeting a swift and brutal death.
Yet, during their recent clash, his attack, which had the power to split a fifth-level Divine Nascent realm expert in half, had only managed to lacerate Chen Fan’s palm.
The Third Dragon Lord looked at Chen Fan calmly, seemingly thinking over something. “Hmph, I’ll come take your life next time!”
With those words, the Third Dragon Lord moved swiftly, rescuing Zhang Hong and the others. In an instant, he swept them up and vanished, leaving the battlefield behind.
