Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1456 - Strength of the Youth in Brocade

“Everyone, if you wish to obtain the Wheel of Myriad Laws, we must first get rid of this beast.” Chen Fan stared at the brocade youth and said, “And I hope some of you won’t stab us in the back while we fight together.”

Naturally, Xuan Yang knew that Chen Fan was speaking to him. He smiled coldly and said, “Funny you should say that. You’d better not stab others in the back either. After all, you tried it yourself not long ago.”

“Psh.” Chen Fan snorted, unable to hide his amusement.

Ji Lanshan also said, “Alright, everyone, I’ll get the ugly part out of the way first. We need to unite, at least until this beast is down. After that... well, I don’t care if you kill each other.”

“Enough nonsense. Whoever dares stab us in the back, don’t blame me for turning on you,” Xie Qingjin said coldly.

Even though Chen Fan held a grudge against Xuan Yang, the Wheel of Myriad Laws was a treasure that could tempt anyone. Any one of them could betray the others for the wheel. After all, there was only one wheel and several greedy hands, so how were they supposed to divide it?

“Kill me? You people?” the youth in brocade erupted, his fury blazing.

What did they take him for?

“Damned humans! You don’t even know when death is upon you. You think you can match me, with six of you joining hands? You’re too naïve,” said the youth in brocade angrily. Before his voice fell, he charged toward Chen Fan and the others like a gust of wind or a lightning bolt.

The strong wind set off from his charge made even the half-immortals at the seventh and eighth stages feel suffocated.

Chen Fan and the others’ eyes darkened, their killing intent overflowing.

“Kill!”

They had already come this far. How could they possibly retreat just because the brocade youth was powerful?

They were all elites among the ninth-stage half-immortals and possessed powerful bloodlines. With them joining forces, they were very confident that they could take down a crippled Immortal Platform realm expert.

Immediately, they unleashed their killer moves, transforming into torrents of martial Dao that surged through the sky like unstoppable rivers.

However, the youth in brocade was in the Immortal Platform realm, after all. Though he could not summon his full strength, what he could release already reached a critical threshold, far surpassing the power of Ji Lanshan and the others.

Swinging his law sword, he split the void apart, and the sword qi rampaged with the power to chill nineteen provinces, instantly destroying their attacks.

“So strong!”

Ji Lanshan and the others’ expressions turned grave.

Although they had clashed with the youth earlier, facing him again brought a different sensation: this time, his strength had erupted to an even greater peak.

“A bunch of empty vessels. Today, this tomb shall be home to a few more corpses. Count yourselves fortunate to be buried alongside the Heaven Interceptor Great Emperor.” In a flash, he charged, his strikes merciless. Sword light tore through the void, arriving before Chen Fan and the others with unmatched ferocity.

Boom, boom, boom!

However, Ji Lanshan and the others were no slouches. They counterattacked desperately, executing their signature moves.

As Sage descendants, their training and cultivation far exceeded that of ordinary people. Take Xuan Yang’s Polar Divine Fist, for example. It was a Sage art, just like the Heaven Interception Finger, possessing boundless power.

If it wasn’t for Xuan Yang’s low cultivation level, being unable to display even a tenth of the Polar Divine Fist’s true power, he alone would have been enough to crush the youth in brocade.

Their foundation was simply too deep and profound; their only flaw was their low cultivation level.

Ji Lanshan and the others also executed their respective Sage art one after another. All of a sudden, the might of their attacks surged tenfold. This was the reason why they were the elites among the ninth-stage half-immortals.

Finally, they withstood the youth’s terrifying sword qi.

“Good, good, good. You’re not too bad to be able to resist my slash.” The youth said with a cold smile, “But unfortunately, I still haven’t used my real killer move. Now, face your doom. Sacred Spirit Sword Art!”

The law sword in the youth’s grasp erupted with boundless radiance and slashed toward Chen Fan and the others, ripping apart the space like a piece of paper.

Then, they saw this slash split into six in mid-air, shrouding the six of them. Almost instantly, a searing pain struck their minds, as if the attack pierced straight through to their souls. Their faces turned pale, shock flashing in their eyes.

However, they were all prodigies, tempered through hundreds of battles. They immediately came back to their senses and let out furious roars. Law power surged, their auras soared, trying to block this slash.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Their attacks were all destroyed by that slash in an instant. Blood spurted from them as they were sent flying.

“Hiss, hiss.”

The crowd nearby, while entangled in fierce battles with the army of law creatures, would occasionally cast their gazes over to this side. Their souls trembled at the sight: six elites, combining their might, sent flying by a single slash from the youth in brocade.

Chen Fan and the others’ eyes also trembled violently.

So strong!

The youth was truly incredibly powerful!

A single slash from him injured them all. If it weren’t for their extraordinary backgrounds, the slash earlier would have split them in half.

It even cut through Chen Fan’s Hegemonic Golden Body, drawing blood. Sword qi clawed at the wound, preventing the injury from healing.

“How’s that? Can you see the gap between us?” The youth in brocade stood proudly with his sword at the ready, his chin raised slightly.

Ji Lanshan and the others’ expressions were extremely grim. Originally, they thought they could bring down the youth in brocade with the six of them joining forces; looking at it now, it seems they underestimated the youth.

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered, and he said, “Everyone, I’m afraid it’ll be extremely difficult for us to kill this beast. Instead, we should force him to expose his Immortal Platform realm aura. When he does, the rules of the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm will surely eject him.”

Killing the youth in brocade would be too tall a task for them. And if they couldn’t get rid of him, forget the Wheel of Myriad Laws, they might not even leave the tomb alive.

Ji Lanshan and the others’ eyes lit up as soon as those words came out. Why were they so focused on killing the youth? Setting aside the question of whether or not they could do it, even if they did, they would need to pay a huge price. Some of them might even perish in the process.

They could simply force the youth in brocade to expose his Immortal Platform realm aura and use the rules to forcibly send him out and achieve the same result.
