Zhao Jun raised his eyebrow at the newcomer. Chen Fan wore a smile and said, “Why, are you very surprised?” Zhao Jun’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “You’re quite the bold one, Chen Fan. I didn’t come for you, yet here you are.” “And?” Chen Fan raised his chin slightly, eyes full of disdain. “Not afraid that I’ll kill you? This space is tight; no matter how fast you are, you’re trapped!” Zhao Jun said sharply, his eyes flickering slightly. He cursed Chen Fan’s timing and released a surge of aura to intimidate him. His injuries were too severe. He lacked the confidence to fight head-on. “I’m right here. Come get me,” Chen Fan said with a faint smile, unfazed by Zhao Jun’s bluff Running now would only mean death the next time they met. “You really think I wouldn’t dare? You think I can’t kill you just because I’m bleeding? You’re too naïve!” Zhao Jun said with a very icy voice, his aura growing more menacing. “Why bother talking so much? Just make your move. Didn’t you want to kill me? I’m standing right in front of you, so what’s with all the useless chatter? Make your move!” Zhao Jun burned with rage at Chen Fan’s taunts. He waved his hand indifferently and said magnanimously, “Hmph, forget it. Leave, Chen Fan. On account of us being from the same sect, I’ll let you off this once today.” “Hahahaha, leave? Are you thinking straight, Zhao Jun? You’re letting me off, but I’m not letting you go. Now what?” Chen Fan laughed out loud. Zhao Jun’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, glinting with a chilling, knife-like light. “You’d better know your place. I’m in a good mood today. That’s why I’m giving you a chance to live. Don’t force yourself onto a road with no return.” Chen Fan slowly shook his head with a smile as he stepped forward. His voice resounded, “But I want to force you down the path of despair! Zhao Jun, hand over your life!” Before his voice fell, he pounced at Zhao Jun like a fierce gale. “You’re courting death!” Zhao Jun was furious, shocked that Chen Fan dared to strike first. They clashed instantly, palms against fists, each blow bursting with force. The force erupted into a violent storm. One figure was sent staggering back, feet pounding the ground to steady himself: Zhao Jun. “Hoho, Zhao Jun, your life comes to an end here today. Your time is up!” Chen Fan smiled savagely. A ferocious aura swept out from him as he stepped forward, his aura berserk as he sent a palm strike at Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun’s qi and blood shook. His complexion turned slightly pale. He had already suffered considerable injuries from the chaotic melee earlier. Afterward, he had to deal with the self-detonation of an Invincible Legend. Although he used treasures to block most of the force, the residual force left him heavily wounded. Now, he could barely muster twenty to thirty percent of his strength; he was, at best, on par with an early-stage Invincible Legendary expert. “Damn it! I’m going to skin you alive!” Zhao Jun was furious, feeling like a weakened tiger being bullied by a dog. If not for his injuries, a nobody like Chen Fan wouldn’t have dared act so insolently. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝 “Hahahaha, Zhao Jun, let’s see who skins who alive! We had no grudge, didn’t even know each other. But you willingly became Gu Xun’s lackey and tried to kill me. The moment you moved against me, your fate was sealed. You will die. I’ll make sure of it.” Chen Fan continued provoking Zhao Jun verbally. Although Zhao Jun was heavily injured, he was still a peak Invincible Legendary realm expert, just a step away from the Void Immortal level. Someone couldn’t be underestimated, even if they were heavily injured. “Ridiculous. Trying to shake my mindset? Childish,” Zhao Jun scoffed, easily seeing through Chen Fan’s mental tactics. Chen Fan didn’t care. He knew Zhao Jun, tempered by countless battles, wouldn’t be rattled by mere words, but it was still worth trying to throw him off balance. The two of them clashed fiercely. Although Chen Fan was only in the middle-stage Greater Legendary realm, he was fighting at full strength, not to mention his physique was on the level of an immortal artifact. Punches and kicks came crashing in with terrifying force, pounding Zhao Jun and pushing him to the brink. “Hahahaha, Zhao Jun, just a month or two ago, you looked down on me like an ant. Ever imagine you’d end up ?” Chen Fan struck swiftly like a blur. His terrifying attacks descended like a fierce storm, sending layers of air waves rippling. Zhao Jun felt extremely stifled. He was a peak Invincible Legendary realm expert but was being suppressed and beaten by someone in the middle-stage Greater Legendary realm. If word got out, he’d be a laughingstock. “Hmph, even if that’s the case, you’re still an ant in my eyes!” Zhao Jun launched a counterattack, fierce and unrelenting. His power was dimmed, but his former brilliance still showed. “Oh? Then what does it say about you,” Chen Fan sneered, voice cold, “if an ant is suppressing you?” He struck again, fiercer than before, forcing Zhao Jun back step by step. Zhao Jun’s expression was ugly, his gaze incomparably cold. Was he angry? Of course. Even knowing Chen Fan was playing mind games, he couldn’t stop the fire rising in his chest. His pride was being crushed. No amount of mental discipline could smother that. All of a sudden, an opening appeared in his defense. Chen Fan’s eyes lit up. The Bodhi Ancient Tree immediately appeared behind his back, swaying gently, spilling a clear light as rustling noises rang out. In an instant, his aura soared. Chen Fan seized this momentary opening and struck ruthlessly, channeling the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s power to end it in one blow. He couldn’t afford a drawn-out fight. “What? A Bodhi Ancient Tree!” Zhao Jun’s face changed drastically. The attack landed. Bones snapped, tendons tore, organs shattered. “Uegh.” Zhao Jun collapsed onto the floor, spewing fresh blood furiously. His aura waned severely, losing his fighting strength. Chen Fan withdrew the Bodhi Ancient Tree and walked toward Zhao Jun. “Zhao Jun, what more do you have to say?” Zhao Jun raised his head, looking at Chen Fan’s indifferent face, grinned, and said, “Let’s die together!” Immediately, a destructive fluctuation swept out from him. He knew that there was no way he could survive. So, he would drag Chen Fan down with him. However, as soon as this destructive aura erupted, a streak of terrifying saber light flashed past Zhao Jun, splitting him into two. Not even his divine nascent was spared. Chen Fan had anticipated this. There was no way he’d give Zhao Jun the chance. After killing Zhao Jun, he swept up all of his fortune and put the ice lotus away, then left this stone room.
