Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1060 - Dumbfounded

Inside the city treasure, Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue heard Chen Fan’s voice. Though smiles formed on their faces, deep worry lingered.

When Chen Wushang heard Chen Fan’s voice, his big eyes immediately lit up. “Big Brother! Father, Mother, it’s Big Brother’s voice. Big Brother really came to save us.”

He grew up listening to stories about his older brother Chen Fan, idolizing him and believing there was nothing his brother couldn’t do.

He even recalled Chen Fan’s words, urging him to become an upstanding figure one day.

Nangong Yue nodded and said, “Be good, Wushang. Your big brother has come. He’s come to save us. Don’t be scared.”

“Mmm. Wushang is not scared. With Big Brother here, I am not scared at all.” Chen Wushang nodded bravely.

......

“The aura of law. It’s the aura of law!”

When Chen Fan radiated a powerful aura of law, Zhu Tianzong’s hair instantly stood on end, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He looked at Chen Fan like he was looking at a monster, his face filled with disbelief.

How could this be possible? How could Chen Fan possess the aura of law, let alone one far stronger than his own?

Impossible!

However, no matter how hard he blinked, the truth lay before his eyes. The aura didn’t lie.

“This has to be a lie! How can you emit the aura of law? You’re only at the seventh level. No matter how talented you are, that doesn’t make sense.”

Zhu Tianzong became somewhat hysterical.

He had expected Chen Fan to be stunned upon seeing him alive, having survived disaster and grasped the laws. But in the end...?

He only saw scorn on Chen Fan’s face as he unleashed an aura of law mightier than Zhu Tianzong’s. He felt like he was dreaming and had yet to wake up.

Chen Fan said with an indifferent look on his face, “Just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean I can’t. Your failure only proves how worthless you are.”

“Hmph!” Zhu Tianzong let out a cold snort upon hearing Chen Fan’s words. He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said with a cold gaze, “So what if you’ve perceived the laws? You are still just at the seventh level. You can’t be a match for me!”

“Hoho, is that right? You’ll find out soon enough.” Chen Fan smiled coldly. His expression grew colder.

“Zhu Tianzong, you really are a frog in a well. You dared to use my parents to lure me out without even understanding who you were dealing with. That level of stupidity deserves only one outcome: death. If I don’t kill you today, I’d be insulting your efforts.”

Hearing Chen Fan, Zhu Tianzong’s confidence wavered. He wondered if he had made a grave mistake.

Zhu Tianzong calmed his mind, threw the panic and turmoil to the clouds, and said with a fierce expression, “Hmph, Chen Fan, no need to try to scare me with your bluffs. You can’t intimidate me.”

He was Zhu Tianzong. How could a few words from Chen Fan intimidate him?

Chen Fan curled his lips and said, “Intimidate you? Hoho, you think too highly of yourself. You failed to kill me once, and from that moment on, you never stood a chance. Honestly, I’d almost forgotten you existed. But since you’re so eager for attention, today will be your last.”

“Hmph! Such arrogance. Let’s see what you’re really capable of!”

Zhu Tianzong’s aura erupted violently as he lunged at Chen Fan.

Facing this attack from Zhu Tianzong, Chen Fan shook his head. Sword qi condensed in his palm, and he waved his arm. A streak of sword light shot out, tearing heaven and earth apart, and cleaving the oncoming large hand.

“Can’t even withstand a single blow!”

Chen Fan strode toward Zhu Tianzong, his aura intensifying as the power of law grew ever stronger.

Zhu Tianzong was shocked, and his eyeballs trembled seeing Chen Fan destroy his attack with a simple raise of his hand.

Only now did he realize his grave miscalculation—Chen Fan’s strength had not just caught up in the past few years; it had surpassed his own.

“Impossible, how could you possibly be this powerful. I won’t believe it!” Zhu Tianzong’s face twisted, and he launched another attack at Chen Fan at full strength.

“Do you think it’ll work?”

Chen Fan punched without stopping his advance, destroying Zhu Tianzong’s attack.

He hadn’t just been recovering over the past year; he had been comprehending the laws. Now, he had mastered ten threads of law.

“The power of law.... No! It’s not just perception, you’ve actually mastered it!”

This punch scared Zhu Tianzong silly.

He had assumed Chen Fan was like him, only sensing the laws at a deeper level than him. Unexpectedly, Chen Fan had long since surpassed that and had already begun wielding the laws.

The terrifying fist force shattered Zhu Tianzong’s attack into pieces before continuing toward him.

Feeling the sheer power of law radiating from the attack, Zhu Tianzong felt his scalp turn numb, like the aura of death was closing in on him.

At the critical moment, he yanked out the city treasure, thrusting it in front of him like a shield. He burst into maniacal laughter. “Hahahaha, Chen Fan, I didn’t expect this. I truly didn’t expect this. You’ve already mastered the power of law. I admit it. I have indeed underestimated you. It’s my mistake, but don’t forget that your parents are still in my hands. Go on, kill me! Do it!”

To him, the city treasure was a lifeline—his last chance at survival. As long as he held it, Chen Fan wouldn’t dare attack. He would have to hold back even from just attacking Zhu Tianzong.

As expected, that terrifying fist force came to a stop and dissipated.

Naturally, Chen Fan could not play around with his parents’ lives.

“Hahahaha, Chen Fan, with your parents and your younger brother in my hands, your life is in my hands. I am still untouchable!”

Zhu Tianzong looked at Chen Fan crazedly, holding the city treasure firmly in his hand. He said with a vicious expression, “Chen Fan, if you don’t wish for anything to happen to your parents, then do as I say. I order you to waste your cultivation immediately. Otherwise, I will shock your parents to death. Even if you kill me, I will have your parents and younger brother buried with me. I won’t lose out.”

Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue’s faces changed. Their voices came from within the treasure, “Don’t, Xiaofan, don’t care about us!”

Zhu Tianzong’s demand was merciless. Forcing Chen Fan to cripple himself was like declawing a tiger, leaving him defenseless against whatever came next.
