Chapter 1143 - Come at Me Together

Chen Fan stood proudly in the air. Without even looking below at Xia Hou, whom he had smashed into the ground, he dusted his palms and said, “Weakling!”

Below, the disciples of the foreign forces, who had just been clamoring for Xia Hou to teach him a lesson, looked as though they had phlegm caught in their throats. Their faces darkened to the color of a pig’s liver.

The winner was decided so quickly?

They stood rooted to the spot, as if struck by lightning.

How was that possible?

Xia Hou was the Ziyang Palace’s strongest disciple, wielding the power of ninety-nine law threads and combat strength nearly at the Legendary realm. He could exchange several moves with even a Legend.

Even with such tremendous strength, he couldn’t receive a palm strike from Chen Fan and was smashed to the ground.

The onlookers were sure that, even if he survived, he would suffer serious injuries, with his tendons snapped and bones broken.

The cloud of dust soon dissipated.

Countless gazes immediately fell on the large palm print on the ground. Within that palm print was a figure.

Who could it be if not Xia Hou?

He was currently limp like mud, bleeding from his seven orifices. His feeble aura suggested that he was on the verge of death.

Chen Fan glanced down, slightly surprised. “Oh, his life force is pretty tenacious, to survive even that. Hoho, it seems like the tortoise shell he’s wearing is not bad.”

The palm strike earlier didn’t have all his strength, just about the power of ninety-nine law threads. Given his current overall strength, that would have been enough to injure a Lesser Legendary realm expert like Jin Kun, so Xia Hou should have died.

However, soon he noticed the faintly glowing vest exposed beneath Xia Hou’s torn robes. He quickly understood that the strike hadn’t failed to kill Xia Hou due to lack of power, but because much of it had been absorbed by that defensive artifact. It had saved Xia Hou’s life—barely.

Seeing Xia Hou’s fate, that Invincible Legendary realm elder from the Ziyang Palace couldn’t help but cry out loud.

“Xia Hou!”

The disciples who had crossed the Endless Sea to represent the Ziyang Palace weren’t their absolute best, but none were weak. Xia Hou, in particular, ranked among the top three of his generation.

Yet, that mighty Xia Hou had failed to withstand a single palm strike from Chen Fan and was beaten to an inch of his life. This was undoubtedly a harsh slap to the faces of the people of Ziyang Palace.

Even that grand elder of Ziyang Palace, who had remained indifferent from the start, revealed a flicker of killing intent in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Xia!”

“Junior Brother Xia Hou!”

The disciples of Ziyang Palace exclaimed in shock.

Someone immediately flitted over quickly and helped the heavily injured Xia Hou up. They took out top-grade recovery pills and fed them to him.

In stark contrast to their panic and fury, the other foreign continent disciples stared at Chen Fan in stunned silence. Their pupils shrank to pinpricks.

They had underestimated him, but not anymore. Fear, real fear, began to creep into their hearts.

Exactly what kind of monster was this?

To smash Xia Hou to death in one move.

“Hiss, hiss.”

On the side of the True Martial Academy, countless disciples gasped sharply, stunned into silence for a heartbeat, before the air exploded into thunderous cheers and frenzied discussion.

“Damn, that is too terrifying. So, that is Junior Brother Chen Fan’s strength? If I’m not mistaken, he just unleashed the power of ninety-nine threads of laws.”

“How could that be? Xia Hou also has ninety-nine threads of law, so why is he so weak before Chen Fan? How did he end up half-dead after a single strike?”

“Hoho, why? Because that guy’s just a pretty face. He looks impressive, but he’s hollow on the inside. He might scare others, but the moment he met a real monster like Chen Fan, his true colors came out.”

“That’s right! Like I said, those so-called prides of heaven of these foreign forces are like piles of dog shit in front of Chen Fan. They don’t count for anything.”

The disciples of the True Martial Academy were all beaming with joy and yelling. They didn’t care how ugly the faces of the foreign continent elites had become.

They had swallowed their anger and shame for far too long. Even ten days and nights of venting wouldn’t be enough.

As for the prodigies from the other overlord-class forces like Beishan Xue and Beishan Hong, they were also looking at Chen Fan in horror.

They never thought Xia Hou, who absolutely trounced them, would be so weak in front of Chen Fan.

“How is this possible?”

The siblings Beishan Xue and Beishan Hong were in a daze.

They had a deep grudge with Chen Fan. In the past, they’d even chased him across vast distances to kill him.

However, in just less than twenty years, Chen Fan had risen to a height where they could only look up at him.

Standing in the sky, Chen Fan could hear them talking, but he didn’t pay any attention to them.

The foreign continents’ forces had joined hands to suppress the True Martial Academy, maybe even the entire Tianwu Continent. Naturally, he had no intention of letting that slide.

A mere Xia Hou was not enough to satisfy his appetite.

Since these forces of foreign continents wanted to slap the True Martial Academy’s face, he would return the favor tenfold.

“Haaa, how boring. I thought Ziyang Palace’s strongest would be powerful. Someone worth fighting. But he can’t even stand up to a breeze. Couldn’t take a single palm strike. What a letdown.”

His words made the faces of the Ziyang Palace’s people twitch uncontrollably, like they had been slapped in public.

But he wasn’t done. He smiled faintly, eyes gleaming with mockery. “I am sure this isn’t the true strength of our neighbors. Xia Hou must have used some method to pull the wool over your eyes, Seniors. Fortunately, I was here to expose him for what he really is. You don’t have to thank me.”

The noses of the Legends from the Ziyang Palace nearly twisted in anger. Even that Void Immortal Supreme grand elder’s brow twitched for a moment.

What? You beat up my people, insult my Ziyang Palace—and now we’re supposed to thank you?

“I shan’t go on with all this nonsense. I’m sure Xia Hou is the only one who isn’t worthy of his reputation. I refuse to believe that all of your prides of heaven are as hollow as he is.”

The corners of many people’s mouths twitched.

What does he mean by that? Was he insulting them or complimenting them?

“Hmm, since that is the case, this untalented one would like to seek guidance from you, mighty foreign continent elites. Rest assured, I’ll hold back a little this time. It’s only proper since I’m the host and you’re the guests. And don’t bother coming at me one by one. That’d just waste everyone’s time. No fun in that. I suggest... you all come at me together!”

When Chen Fan’s last sentence fell, the entire place became completely silent.
