One vs. Three
"Tsk, they're making quite a splash."
Chen Fan patted the pebbles and dust off his trousers, then laughed loudly, his clear voice echoing across the ruins of the mountains.
"Fireworks are being set off from a hundred miles away? Does Red Rock City know that my Fire Crow Tribe is lacking in acrobatics, and have specially booked the entire venue and delivered it to our doorstep?"
"You ignorant brat, how dare you be so insolent!"
The billowing fire clouds suddenly split open, and a roar like thunder in a dry sky shook the remaining rubble of Copper Furnace Fortress, causing it to tumble down in a flurry.
A gaunt old man with white hair and red eyebrows, wearing a crimson cloak, stepped out of the Void first, his eyes burning with tangible molten lava poison.
It was none other than the renowned and famous elder of the Red Rock Main City, the Redfire Old Monster!
To his left stood a colossal figure, over ten feet tall, with skin that gleamed with a dark yellow, rocky sheen. Each step he took caused violent ripples and vibrations in the Void, causing the earth's veins throughout the Black Wind Mountains to resonate. It was as if an ancient giant god had descended to earth, Mountain-Shaking Venerable with immense strength.
Meanwhile, in the Void to the right, azure gales swirled into blades, and a middle-aged man in a green robe with a long beard hovered in the air with a sword on his back, his figure appearing and disappearing, the air filled with a bone-chilling killing intent that could cut through everything— the Wind-Splitting Swordsman!
Three Eighth-Order Peak powerhouses have arrived!
The immense pressure weaved into a net, completely sealing off an area of dozens of miles. The scorching fire poison, the heavy gravity of the earth, and the invisible Wind Blade could cut through gold and jade caused the air in the entire ruins of Copper Furnace Fortress to be sucked away in an instant.
"They destroyed my frontline fortress, insulted my sect's shrine, and ruined my Battle Formation totem."
The Redfire Old Monster looked down at Chen Fan, his withered fingers slowly spreading. "If I don't grind you to dust today, what face will my Red Rock City have left? Prepare to die!"
Boom!
With a wave of his sleeve, the Redfire Old Monster caused a violent rumble in the Void within a thousand feet.
A raging inferno surged forth from its body, forcibly drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming into a crimson Crimson Flame Demon Phoenix that was five hundred feet tall.
The demonic phoenix's wings blotted out the sky, its entire body was forged from the essence of the earth's core lava, and its claws tore through the clouds, carrying a terrifying temperature that could burn mountains and boil seas, as it rushed straight down at Chen Fan from the sky!
At the same moment, Mountain-Shaking Venerable slammed his fists heavily into the Void in front of him.
Thump!
The entire Black Wind Mountains emitted a muffled groan, and below, more than a dozen cliffs and precipices suddenly rose from the ground, transforming into more than a dozen suspended meteorites weighing tens of millions of kilograms, which, with their violent earth-evil gravity, fiercely converged towards the center from all directions.
The Wind-Splitting Swordsman became one with his sword, his blade unsheathed half an inch, transforming into Ten Thousand Dao fine, silken, violent Wind Blades that shredded all escape routes and sealed off the gates of life and death!
The three patriarchs joined forces, unleashing a devastating and deadly encirclement!
However, faced with such a deadly formation, Chen Fan finally spat out the blade of grass from the corner of his mouth.
"That's more like it, let's all go at once, so I don't have to search for them one by one."
There was no fear in the boy's eyes; instead, a long-lost, fiery wildness appeared.
His body jolted violently!
Boom!
The Great Wilderness Qi and Blood within his body surged like a river bursting its banks, while the Totem Power of water and fire roared and resonated deep within his spine.
A Blackwater dragon ten feet in size and a phantom of a blazing Fire Crow exploded out of thin air behind him, transforming into a thick, dragon-like gray blood aura that roared through the sky!
The Broken Saber is drawn from its sheath, cutting through the air!
Without retreating or yielding, the city tower beneath Chen Fan's feet shattered with a deafening roar, and he transformed into a meteorite crashing against the heavens, charging head-on into the raging torrent of Azure Wind Blades!
"You arrogant physique, do you think you can withstand my Wind God Heaven-Splitting Aura?"
A hint of mockery appeared in the eyes of the Wind-Splitting Swordsman.
The next instant, the mockery turned into utter horror.
Chen Fan crashed into the core of the Wind Blade, his body swaying between reality and illusion like a swimming fish. He pushed the gentle intent of the Blackwater Totem to its limit, and actually dissipated most of the wind pressure in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the unavoidable natal Sword Aura, the young man neither dodged nor evaded, but instead punched out with his fist!
Thump!
This punch was devoid of any fancy moves, only the ultimate power of the fusion of the physical body and the Great Dao. The air in front of the fist was forcibly compressed to a semi-transparent state, exploding into a deafeningly sharp sonic boom.
The azure Sword Aura shattered into a shower of light the instant it made contact with the fist, as if it had struck refined gold and divine iron.
The violent shockwave surged upwards, and the Wind-Splitting Swordsman felt an immense force, like a raging torrent, being swept back into his body along with the Sword Intent. His chest surged with Qi and Blood, and his protective armor shattered into hundreds of pieces with a crack. He was sent flying thousands of feet away, a mouthful of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!
"What?!" The Wind-Splitting Swordsman's eyes widened in horror.
With a single punch, he repelled the Wind- Wind-Splitting Swordsman, and more than ten sky-obscuring suspended meteorites, carrying with them gravitational and magnetic fields, crashed down on his head.
"You little brat, kneel down and be turned into mincemeat!"
The Mountain-Shaking Venerable roared fiercely, his arms bulging with muscles, pressing down hard like a mountain.
"Mountain? You dare call that a mountain?!"
Chen Fan hovered in mid-air, his body slightly arched, and his right hand suddenly clenched back.
Buzz!!
A phantom of Water-Fire Yin-Yang Grinding Disc, two hundred feet in diameter, expanded and spun wildly behind him. The two poles of life's vitality and death's desolation reversed, and the earth's gravity field was torn to shreds like clay chickens and earthenware dogs in front of the Millstone.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Chen Fan spun around, his arm muscles bulging like the roots of an ancient tree, and unleashed a domineering and unparalleled soaring punch from below towards the massive boulder in the center!
Thump!
The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!
The fists collided head-on with the mountain rocks, producing a terrifying, metallic groan.
The solid Mysterious Rock weighing tens of millions of kilograms developed numerous cracks from the point of impact, and then exploded in mid-air with a deafening roar, turning into a torrential rain of rubble that swept across the heavens and earth.
The shockwave swept across the entire ruins of Copper Furnace Fortress, instantly leveling the indestructible walls of Hundred-Forged Black Iron and scraping away three feet of the bare earth!
The Mountain-Shaking Venerable let out a muffled groan, his arm bones cracking with a teeth-grinding sound. He staggered back seven steps in Void, each step leaving blackened cracks in the Void, his eyes filled with disbelief.
With just a physical body, he first shattered the wind and then broke through the mountains!
"Die!"
The Redfire Old Monster's fierce shout followed immediately.
The hundred-foot-long fire phoenix had already swept to within three feet of Chen Fan. The rolling lava almost scorched the boy's hair, and the destructive fire poison transformed into countless chains that wrapped around Chen Fan's limbs and bones.
Their lives hung by a thread.
Chen Fan grinned amidst the myriad flames, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as abyss.
As soon as the Broken Saber was in hand, his Qi and Blood surged within him, and the power of the Yin-Yang Millstone instantly flowed into the blade.
The originally gray and dull Broken Saber stirred up a gray and red dual-colored sword light that was nearly a hundred feet long. Around the sword light, wisps of micro-vortexes appeared in the air, forcibly stripping away and swallowing the spiritual energy in the flames.
"Cut!"
The Broken Saber slashed out diagonally from bottom to top!
The gray-red Blade Aura tore through the Void, drawing out a ferocious streak that stretched across the Firmament.
The Crimson Flame Demon Phoenix that rushed towards them let out a shrill cry, and the violent blade ruthlessly cut into the center of its head, sweeping down its spine with overwhelming force!
Tear!
The enormous fire phoenix was torn in two mid-air!
The raging fire from the earth's core went out of control, turning into an endless rain of fire that swept across a radius of hundreds of miles, igniting vast swathes of withered trees and wild grass in the Black Wind Mountains.
