Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 1669 - 1707: Forbidden Land (Fifth Update)
"Yes! Hand over the crown!"
"Such achievements are beyond what you can bear!"
"Young man, don’t just focus on what’s in front of you. Leave yourself a way out."
...
Jiang Fan glanced around at them, each with eyes full of longing and greed, yet none dared to step forward.
Because whoever strikes first will likely die at the hands of the White Tiger, creating opportunities for others in vain.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan sneered, "A bunch of worthless scoundrels!"
"Saying I’m not worthy? Was my achievement achieved by you?"
"Saying I can’t bear it? My crown remains, but yours have all been taken."
"You only possess the heart to disdain others but lack the skill to match."
"Do you think you’re worthy to represent your worlds and change fate?"
If any of them had the guts like Liu Bianhuang to come up and seize it, he would even look at them with some regard.
At least it would show they dare to act and take responsibility!
But this group, who looks down on his Heavenly Human Decline cultivation yet covets his achievement, calculating against others, hesitating to battle.
These people are truly not worthy of being first in the hunt!
"Well said!"
A powerful aura suddenly dominated the surroundings, causing faces to change slightly.
It was Yun Wanxiao, speeding toward them while radiating a holy light:
With hands behind his back, he disdainfully looked down upon the crowd:
"None of us dare say Jiang Fan of Central Earth is unworthy of his crown. Who do you think you are?"
"How dare you spew such nonsense here?"
"A rabble of misfits!"
Yun Wanxiao landed beside Jiang Fan, his gaze fierce as it swept over the crowd.
His piercing eyes forced them to retreat, not daring to continue their misconduct.
He turned to Jiang Fan, his gaze softening: "Glad you’re still alive."
Jiang Fan clasped his hands: "Thank you, senior, for your concern."
He silently stepped back a few paces, maintaining some distance from Yun Wanxiao.
Previously, after being framed by Liu Bianhuang and left in the shadows, this person who seemed considerate did not hesitate to leave him behind and walk away.
Now that he’s safe, was saying a few pleasant words supposed to win his heartfelt gratitude?
It could only be said that he didn’t reject him, but he neither trusted him.
A shadow flickered faintly behind him.
Luckily, he arrived in time, slipping to the riverbank, and the shadow reluctantly turned away.
The one who came was indeed Liu Bianhuang, who upon taking a slight breath, sensed something was amiss.
A quick glance made him realize the situation.
All participants were pressing Jiang Fan, demanding he hand over the crown.
While Yun Wanxiao firmly supported Jiang Fan.
His eyes flashed with a ferocity, blending his greed for the crown and treasure gourd with his hatred for Jiang Fan.
"Jiang Fan, do you see? The righteous are supported by many, the unrighteous by few!"
"Still not handing over the crown and treasure gourd?"
"If I’m in a good mood, maybe your little life would be spared."
How could he let Jiang Fan go?
Jiang Fan’s ’always smile’ caused him to be harmed by Dead Soul, affecting his breakthrough to the Sage Realm.
For this alone, Jiang Fan dying ten times wouldn’t be enough!
Jiang Fan never believed Liu Bianhuang, sneering, "The dragon navigates the Heavenly Dao, the rat skulks the sewers."
"Your path of snakes, insects, rats, and ants surely doesn’t align with mine!"
Yun Wanxiao, hands behind his back, his eyes hinting at a warning: "Are you, with a wounded soul, suitable to threaten my person in front of me?"
But his words had barely fallen.
An ominously deep voice floated in:
"What about adding me to the mix?"
Thump! A dull thud resounded as Heavenly Sword landed, stepping on a giant Blood Demon King from the sky.
Beside him was the Four Crowned Asura King’s sister, Tian Qin.
Both of their auras were unstable, showing the hardship they endured to flee here.
Heavenly Sword glared angrily at Jiang Fan: "I won’t be at peace until I kill you!"
On the way here, he encountered Dead Soul’s shadow multiple times, exhausting all his Magical Treasures.
He almost did not make it out alive, saved only by his sister Tian Qin’s timely use of her Magical Treasure.
For all of this, he had Jiang Fan to thank!
Yun Wanxiao’s expression turned slightly grave, mumbling, "The situation’s not looking good."
He considered himself capable of handling Liu Bianhuang, but with Heavenly Sword added, it was hard to say.
Unless Young Master Xiang also stood with them.
As he pondered.
A dignified and powerful voice, asserting dominance over the eight wildernesses, gradually transmitted:
"Is everyone here?"
"I, have arrived at just the right moment!"
Young Master Xiang, donning a black robe, adorned with an emperor’s crown, with a 180-meter light beam, arrived stepping through the void.
Expressions shifted all around.
Young Master Xiang not only successfully evaded Dead Soul’s pursuit, but also managed to seize a twenty-meter crown?
Thus, he regained the top position once again.
Yun Wanxiao, Liu Bianhuang, and Heavenly Sword’s expressions subtly changed.
This guy is truly formidable.
Yun Wanxiao asked, "Young Master Xiang, which side do you want to stand on?"
He sighed deeply in his heart, fearing Young Master Xiang would stand on neither side, as he was already the uncrowned king.
Young Master Xiang surveyed the surroundings, quickly assessing the situation, gripping the sword handle, one hand behind:
"I only stand by myself!"
"Anyone who surpasses me is my enemy!"
Jiang Fan’s expression darkened.
He wasn’t concerned about which side Young Master Xiang stood, but rather about where his extra twenty-meter light beam came from?
The hunt for the Ancient Blood Demon King had long ended, so it could only have been someone else’s crown.
But would Young Master Xiang deign to snatch someone else’s crown?
Just as he was pondering, the bald-headed Jiang Yitian followed closely behind Young Master Xiang.
Seeing Jiang Fan from afar, he fumed with anger: "You insufferable guy!"
Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned, then understood where Young Master Xiang’s crown had come from.
"Brother Jiang, aren’t you quite unbrotherly? Rather give your crown to an outsider than to me?"
Jiang Yitian was so furious he almost cursed, "And you have the nerve to bring that up?"
"If not for you getting me chased by Dead Soul, would I have ended up with Dead Souls marking me?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
"Luckily, Young Master Xiang passed by, and by pledging my crown to him, I managed to save my own life."
Jiang Fan wryly smiled, saying,
"An unintended harm, I didn’t expect Brother Jiang was secretly hiding nearby."
This cunning fellow was lurking near the volcano, likely waiting to stealthily gain benefits?
Had any one of Jiang Fan, Young Master Xiang, or their faction fallen, the achievements in their crowns would be ownerless.
Being exposed like this, Jiang Yitian’s face showed a tinge of red, sneering:
"I lost everything because of you, you losing the first place makes us even!"
His words carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Jiang Fan’s gaze shifted, sweeping over the prodigies of various worlds.
Some of their crowns remained, but they hadn’t even gathered a light pillar, showing they hadn’t reached a hundred kills.
Even combined, it wasn’t enough for two hundred.
Snatching from them was of no use.
Jiang Fan’s eyes fell sharply on Liu Bianhuang and Heavenly Sword.
It seemed, to reclaim first place, he had to make a move on them.
This battle was inevitable.
Suddenly—
Unexpectedly, a splash from the black river beside them drew attention, pulling an expert closest to the river into its depths.
The latter had no time to call for help and vanished beneath the waters.
All eyes turned to the scene, faces filled with suspicion.
Yun Wanxiao’s expression shifted slightly, saying: "During the coming battle, keep away from this river."
