Chapter 747 - 529: Shocking the Battlefield—No Need for the Power of Emperor’s Soldier
A Great Saint powerhouse suddenly charged into the battlefield, stunning everyone, human and Demon Fiend alike, all turning their shocked gazes.
The attack couldn’t be called a sneak attack; it was just terrifyingly fast, faster than the speed at which its aura spread. It wasn’t until a Dharma Demon Saint from the Profound Crane Sect was killed that others noticed the presence of a Human Race Great Saint.
The Human Race side was shocked yet joyful, finally having another powerhouse join the fray, while the Demon Fiend side was furious beyond measure.
"Courting death!"
"How dare you!"
"Has the Human Race not suffered enough slaughter?"
A group of Demon Saints bellowed, faces full of murderous intent, especially two cranes from the Profound Crane Sect were furious, trying desperately to break free from their opponents, frantically wanting to obliterate Wei Fan.
[Slay Crane Demon, gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 3,900 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 1,890,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 3,900 years]
"Boom..."
A Dao nearly two thousand feet long appeared and exploded with a boom; Gao Peng was delighted while quickly retreating to avoid the residual impact of Dao Collapse from affecting his Dao.
He was already on the brink of falling, his body covered in wounds. If hit by the residual impact, his own Dao might be harmed.
"Boom!"
Wei Fan flicked his sleeve, his Will Power whipped out like a storm, sweeping aside the residual impact.
"Thank you, elder!" Gao Peng cupped his fists, still unaware this was Wei Fan.
Wei Fan said nothing, transforming into a streak of light, charging out, yelling, "You haven’t suffered enough, thinking the Human Race has no powerhouses!"
The aura of a Great Saint powerhouse filled the sky, Wei Fan’s murderous intent surged like waves, substantial Evil Qi looming behind him.
Along the way, he heard countless tales of Human Race deaths, news of Saint Realm powerhouses dying in battle, his heart’s killing intent on the brink of explosion.
All this couldn’t be blamed on him, yet it was indeed because of him. Because he was too extraordinary, Demon Fiends wanted to eliminate him before he became invincible, leading to these events.
Everyone’s fall could be said to be for him; how could he not be furious?
"Run quickly!"
From afar, a Great Saint-level Demon Saint howled, warning Demon Saints below Great Saint-level in this direction to flee quickly. Otherwise, if approached by a Great Saint-level powerhouse, even a Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape couldn’t contend.
"Hold them back!" A Human Race Martial Saint roared, not allowing these Demon Saints to escape. The newly arrived Great Saint had only slain one Demon Saint; at least one or two more were needed to settle the past score.
But there weren’t many Demon Saints in Wei Fan’s direction, just one Condensing Dao-level Celestial Horned Elephant fighting a Human Race Martial Saint, the Dao only eight hundred feet.
Wei Fan formed a giant hand, grabbing the Celestial Horned Elephant, blasting Will Power, instantly shattering its Primordial Spirit, preserving the body.
[Slay Celestial Horned Elephant, gain 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 2,400 years of Martial Saint’s Power]
[Ordinary Power: 2,390,000 years]
[Martial Saint’s Power: 6,300 years]
Upon breaking through to Great Saint, with his combat power, killing a Condensing Dao-level Demon Saint wasn’t effortless, but it required little effort.
This Celestial Horned Elephant, which a Human Race Martial Saint had struggled to defeat after a long battle, was slain in one move.
"Boom!"
The Celestial Horned Elephant’s Dao appeared but hadn’t exploded yet, and was shattered by Wei Fan, bursting with killer intent.
"Showing off by striking the weak is nothing; come fight me, Saint!"
In the distance, a Great Saint from the Celestial Horned Elephant clan roared with fury.
His clan had first lost a Dharma Demon Saint to Wei Fan, then in Shuiyun City, one Dharma Demon Saint and one Great Saint had been slain by Wei Ran, and now a Condensing Dao-level Demon Saint had died under his nose.
He was mad with hate, but was tangled with a Town Commander, unable to break free.
"Bastard, no one can save you today!"
A long howl rang out, a white light crossing the Void World, the Dao roared, Demon Qi surging like tides.
It was a Great Saint-level Demon Saint from Profound Crane Sect breaking free from its opponent, charging towards Wei Fan like lightning, preventing further carnage.
The speed of this clan was terrifying; Wei Fan had experienced it before. Swift as thunder, fast as gale, without super speed, battling them meant taking hits.
When the long howl sounded, the crane was dozens of miles away, and when the sound ceased, the Great Saint-level crane already appeared before Wei Fan, hand like a sword aiming for his throat.
But Wei Fan now was not the Wei Fan of Beiding Continent; speed was no longer his weakness. Though Wind Escape Step was only a Saint-level Martial Technique, he already mastered Wind Power.
"With just you!"
His eyes shot cold beams, charging towards the Profound Crane Sect Great Saint.
"Bang!"
Their speeds were extreme, like meteors colliding, the explosive energy spreading like a tsunami, Chains of Order crumbling.
Dazzling light erupted; no one could see inside. In the next moment, a snow-white figure flew out from the light, blood at the corner of its mouth, aura chaotic.
"It’s He Hongcai, he’s not as strong as our Human Race’s Great Saint!"
Everyone instantly recognized the figure flying backward; it was He Hongcai, the Great Saint of the Profound Crane Sect. In their first encounter, he was sent flying by the arriving Great Saint of the Human Race.
"Who exactly are you?"
He Hongcai’s body was aglow, rapidly healing his injuries, and his face was full of disbelief.
The other had the aura of just an early-stage Great Saint, his Dao height not exceeding seven thousand feet, while months ago, He Hongcai had already surpassed the mid-stage Great Saint realm, with a Dao height of eight thousand feet.
Yet in the first encounter, it was his power that was inferior, being repelled by the opponent’s palm, with awe-inspiring battle strength.
One must know that he was the Great Saint of the Profound Crane Sect, with powerful bloodline, cultivating the Demon Emperor Technique, few in the same realm could match him. But now he was being thwarted.
The most critical aspect was this kind of powerhouse seemingly had no reputation, not only the Demon Race couldn’t identify him, but even the Human Race Martial Saints seemed to be seeing this person for the first time.
[He Hongcai: Great Saint Realm, Profound Crane Sect Demon Saint, has killed countless]
[Killing him, can obtain 500,000 years of ordinary power, 8,000 years of Martial Saint’s power]
Wei Fan glanced at the panel, Dao height eight thousand feet, not difficult to slay.
Having reached the Great Saint Realm in cultivation, he wouldn’t claim invincibility within the Saint Realm, but he no longer needed to constantly summon the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell to kill enemies.
"Wei Ran!"
Wei Fan let out a long howl, his entire body glowing brightly, chasing after the flying He Hongcai like an azure dragon.
"It is Wei Ran!"
"The Killing God has arrived!"
Wei Ying, Gao Peng, and others were invigorated, showing a look of sudden realization.
Although the crisis in Jinzhou partially involved Wei Fan, it also stemmed from Wei Ran beheading four Demon Race Saint Realm beings with Emperor’s Soldier power in Shuiyun City, further provoking the Demon Race.
No one expected that after exterminating the Wang Family, this Killing God would venture to Jinzhou to resolve the troubles he caused.
However, soon, everyone was in doubt again. It was rumored that Wei Ran’s cultivation was only at the Dharma Realm. Could it be he had been hiding his true cultivation all along?
"It’s you!"
He Hongcai’s expression drastically changed. Even if the Demon Race’s intelligence on the Human Race was not comprehensive, they were aware of Wei Ran’s feats in Xining and knew this was a madman with Emperor’s Secret Technique, disrespecting laws.
"Beast, return the lives of our race’s powerhouses!"
The distant Celestial Horned Elephant Great Saint roared, drawing closer, never expecting the murderer who just killed a Celestial Horned Elephant to be Wei Ran from Shuiyun City.
Their race’s hatred for Wei Ran exceeded even that for Wei Fan.
"Be careful, don’t give him the chance to summon Emperor’s Soldier power."
The Purple-Bearded Golden Flood Dragon, battling a Town Commander, shouted a reminder. None of the Demon Saints present had mastered the secret of summoning Emperor’s Soldier’s power. If Wei Ran summoned it, they might lose several more Demon Saints.
"He dares. It’s not only the Human Race that has Emperor’s Soldiers. If the Human Race wishes to engage in an Emperor’s Soldier showdown, the Demon Race will oblige."
The Heaven-Shaking Saint Ape, contending with Wei Ying, issued a verbal deterrent. Among those present, Xuanyuan Changkong and the Mu Family’s Great Saint also possessed the secret to summon Emperor’s Soldier power, yet they dared not use Emperor’s Soldier power to kill enemies.
If such a thing occurred, Demon Saints proficient in these powers would descend; misuse might evolve into an Emperor’s Soldier battle, potentially turning a whole continent into ruins.
"To kill you worthless beings, there’s no need for Emperor’s Soldier power!"
A stretch of the Great Dao manifested behind Wei Fan, bridging the Void World and reality, as the intertwining laws surged, his body emitting azure light and his aura rapidly ascending.
Profound Celestial Qi!
With cultivation reaching the Great Saint realm, his Dao transitioned from the ethereal to the corporeal world; this fist technique, conceived at a high level, displayed newfound power in his hands.
Profound Celestial symbolizes a mysterious power, legend says only Divine Spirits can master it, full of wonders.
This fist technique may not transform into true Profound Celestial Power, but what it manifests certainly carries the traits of Profound Celestial Power, otherwise, it wouldn’t dare bear such a name.
The Great Dao thundered, chains of order shivered, Dao power surged like tide toward Wei Fan, his aura becoming increasingly enigmatic, as if poised to dominate all beings.
He punched, earth-shattering, widespread void fragmentation, Chaos Qi erupted.
He Hongcai’s expression changed drastically, realizing the previous repulsion was merely Wei Ran’s casual strike, without utilizing martial techniques.
"Kill!"
He shouted explosively, his hands transforming into wings, covered densely with feathers resembling Celestial Sabers.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo..."
The wings cleaved, feathers pierced the void, showering like raindrops toward Wei Fan.
Yet it was futile, Wei Fan’s Dao height of about seven thousand feet, practicing the Quasi-Emperor technique Earth Emperor’s Saint Slaying Technique optimized by the Scripture of the Three Emperors, its level far surpassing the Demon Emperor Technique of the Profound Crane Sect.
As a boxer, Wei Fan was overbearing, his arm emanated azure light, with Profound Celestial Power surging, with one punch shattering all feathers, his fist forcefully struck through He Hongcai’s wings, heavily hitting He Hongcai’s chest, leaving a bowl-sized bloody hole, with countless broken bones.
"Chirp..."
He Hongcai seemed struck by thunder, emitting a cry full of agony.
