Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1055 - Escape

Chen Fan sped across the sky, deliberately flying over crowded cities, one after another.

He was already running low on treasures. After a few more detonations, he’d have no choice but to consider detonating the Brilliant Blade.

If it came down to it, he wouldn't hesitate. Survival came first.

He flew past these crowded places, hoping to come across a Legendary realm expert.

As the Scarlet Moon Hall’s hall master, Nie Han was a notorious villain—a target of scorn. If a Legendary realm expert saw him, they would not let him go.

Unfortunately, despite having sped past more than ten cities, he didn’t come across any Legendary realm experts.

Instead, the crowds below buzzed with speculation. They all thought that he had looted someone’s house, was discovered, and was therefore being chased down.

A classic example of courting death!

Chen Fan nearly choked on his own breath. When did his reputation become this bad?

He wanted to shout down at them, asking if they were blind.

Couldn’t they see who was chasing him? It was Nie Han—the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s hall master?

Nie Han’s roar reverberated in the crowd’s ears. His terrifying roars nearly shattered the universe.

“Die, die, die for me!”

A massive, crimson hand tore through space, shaking the void itself. Laws flickered in its palm, radiating an aura so chilling it made onlookers’ scalps go numb.

But every time Chen Fan faced such a crisis, he would detonate his treasures without hesitation to block the attacks, blocking the attack and riding the shockwave to gain speed, pulling farther away from Nie Han.

The fleeing and chasing figures quickly disappeared from the crowd’s vision.

“My god... A Legendary realm expert is chasing Chen Fan. This is unbelievable. And the craziest part? That Legend couldn’t even touch him! It’s so dazzlingly shocking I might go blind.”

“My thoughts, exactly! I just received news from my friend. He also saw Chen Fan being pursued by a Legend. Tsk tsk, I heard it’s because Chen Fan looted that expert’s nest and was caught.”

“I knew it! Chen Fan’s got a reputation for this stuff. It’s not his first or second time. Now, he actually set his eyes on a Legendary realm apex expert. He’s simply courting death.”

“You all saw it earlier, right? That Legendary realm expert attacked, but failed to bring him down. Tsk tsk, Chen Fan is simply a wastrel, detonating treasures to defend himself. Two or three Grade-7 treasures, just like that! My heart hurts, it hurts so bad.”

“Hah! What’s the point of you feeling pain? Chen Fan doesn’t even feel an itch. They’re not his treasures; he looted them from others. If anyone’s heart should ache, it’s the Legendary realm expert who got robbed!”

“You idiots... didn’t you recognize that Legend?’

“Who is he?”

“He is the hall master of one of the thirty-six halls of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, Nie Han!”

Not everyone had failed to recognize Nie Han. Now that someone had spoken up, the atmosphere shifted.

People sucked in cold breaths.

Though the blood calamity happened more than three thousand years ago, the records remained. And so did the fear.

“How is that possible? Three thousand years ago, the Nebulous Divine Palace led the major forces of the Tianwu Continent to cripple the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect...”

“Hmph, a centipede dies but never falls. They crippled the sect—not wiped it out. Three thousand years is plenty of time to recover. Just look at the Blood Demon Cave’s recent blood calamity in the Hong Domain. Isn’t that proof enough? Now, the Scarlet Moon Hall has also appeared. They are one of the thirty-six halls, countless times stronger than one of the hundred and eight branches like the Blood Demon Cave. In my opinion, Nie Han hunting down Chen Fan is just the beginning. I’m afraid another storm is going to engulf the Tianwu Continent.”

“You mean...”

Immediately, countless eyeballs trembled violently.

After three thousand years of hard-earned peace, was the Tianwu Continent on the brink of another blood calamity?

The appearance of the Scarlet Moon Hall’s hall master shook the world.

Wherever a Legendary realm demonic figure appeared, countless experts took notice.

News of Nie Han’s pursuit of Chen Fan spread like wildfire. Yet, those who tried to catch another glimpse found the figures long gone. freēwēbnovel.com

Rumble!

Rumble!

The massive crimson hand kept slamming down, shattering the void around Chen Fan. The impact sent space-time spiraling into chaotic turbulence as primal chaos surged violently.

Chen Fan kept beating his Wings of Rain Dragon. If he couldn’t narrowly dodge Nie Han’s attacks, he would detonate his treasures to resist.

After all, the difference in strength between them was too great.

“Little bastard, I’ll definitely tear you into pieces!” Nie Han’s furious roars kept resounding.

Letting Chen Fan escape like this was the greatest shame of Nie Han’s life, something not even the waters of the four seas could wash away.

Moreover, if he failed now, Chen Fan would only grow stronger. Next time, it might be Chen Fan hunting him down.

Chen Fan, too, was seething at Nie Han’s relentless pursuit.

“Hahahaha! Old fart, pray you never fall into my hands, or I’ll make sure you die without a burial place!”

To stay alive, Chen Fan had ignited massive amounts of primeval stones and detonated treasures by the handful. By the time he reached safety, he’d be flat broke.

Chen Fan’s goal was clear: flee to the True Martial Academy.

Only the academy could shield and protect him now.

And now, the academy was close. Escape was within reach.

Nie Han knew it too. If Chen Fan made it back, this entire operation would be a failure. And worse, his own life could be at risk.

The True Martial Academy was a behemoth. Elsewhere, a Lesser Legendary realm expert like him could dominate. However, before the True Martial Academy, he was nothing.

Seeing as the True Martial Academy was almost within reach, Nie Han became even more furious, Desperation clouded his mind. He couldn’t let this happen.

Suddenly, he made his move.

“Go to hell!”

Heaven and earth suddenly changed colors. Endless primeval qi in the sky converged, forming a spear as big as a mountain. Close to a hundred law strands flickered furiously on it, emitting an unimaginable evil aura.

“Holy Spear of Destruction, die for me!”

Nie Han poured everything into this strike. He hunched, his complexion paled, and he seemed to age before everyone’s eyes.

This was the sequela of forcibly using this terrifying martial art. Forcing this terrifying martial art drained not only his energy but also his very lifespan. He had truly paid in blood to kill Chen Fan.

Rumble!

The spear streaked across the sky. The terrifying aura locked firmly onto Chen Fan’s soul, as if it would kill him even if he fled beyond the universe.

Chen Fan sensed the grim reaper approaching almost instantly. Without hesitation, he hurled a Grade-8 treasure and detonated it.

“Burst, burst, burst!”

Rumble!

The might formed from the detonation of a Grade-8 treasure was even more terrifying than detonating ten Grade-7 treasures at once. A shockwave of destruction clashed with the spear.

But Nie Han’s attack was beyond monstrous, capable of threatening even a Greater Legendary realm apex expert.

The spear trembled but kept pushing forward, ripping through the shockwave. It broke through all of Chen Fan’s defenses and pierced his back.

Ugh! Chen Fan spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood. The spear nearly ran him through, its destructive force surging to snuff out his vitality.

But he gritted his teeth, forcefully revolving the Heaven and Earth Furnace to suppress the damage at its source.

Looking from afar, Chen Fan, with his wings spread, was like an angel that had fallen into the mortal world, struck by a terrifying impact. He was falling at a terrifying speed, falling to the sky above the True Martial Academy.

Only then did Chen Fan sighed in relief. It seemed like he was finally saved!
