Chapter 853 - Splitting the Sky (1/2)

The many Perfected Cultivators in the Royal Palace stopped because of what Sword King said. Not even the six Commanders were able to do something.

Sword King had ruled the Royal Palace for centuries and was known as the most powerful Overlord in the Beihan Region. n.o.body dared to disobey him.

“Uncle, I can take him down,” Zhao Duluo said.

Dozens of Perfected Cultivators, including ten mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators, with six troops and Overlords around the city should be enough to take down Chen Beixuan.

“Hm.”

Sword King grunted and stared at Chen Fan.

The Sect Master of the Tianji Grotto-heaven then said, “Your Highness, you might be able to take him down, but what are you planning to sacrifice? How many Perfected Cultivators will die? Do you want to destroy the royal city and kill millions of people?”

“Well…”

Zhao Duluo hesitated.

If he destroyed the royal city and led to heavy casualties, his father would show up and tear him apart, and the other Sect Masters would definitely jeer at him.

“Besides, Chen Beixuan is a Grand Perfected Cultivator that can crush the air. Do you really think your people can defeat him? Such a powerful Perfected Cultivator can do whatever he wants, unless there’s a Heavenly Lord’s array here. n.o.body can stop him other than the Overlords of the same level.” The Sect Master of the Tianji Grotto-heaven shook his head.

Zhao Duluo turned pale.

He remembered how Chen Fan had slapped Zhao Duxuan which went across a few kilometers. The Sky-Swallowing Palace was protected by countless arrays and Zhao Duxuan was a Golden Core Perfected Cultivator with many Dharma Artifacts on him, but he had still been defeated by Chen Fan.

Such an Overlord indeed wasn’t someone that could be killed that easily.

“Do you understand now? Go back and shut yourself in for fifty years. Don’t ever come out until you become a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator,” Sword King said coldly.

“Yes, uncle.”

When Zhao Duluo bowed and was about to step back.

Chen Fan spoke.

“Zhao Duluo, you sent someone to besiege Old China Town and tried to kill me. I still have to settle the scores with you. How can you leave?”

Zhao Duluo immediately froze.

Sword King flicked his sleeves angrily and said to Chen Fan.

“Perfected Cultivator Chen, we didn’t realize how powerful you were, but we know you’re a Grand Perfected Cultivator now. We don’t bear any grudges against you anymore and I’ll just forget about what you did to the Prince, but please leave the royal city and never return to the Central State again.”

Everyone else understood what Sword King meant immediately.

Sword King was acknowledging Chen Fan’s power. He thought that Chen Fan could be on an equal footing with him and was comparable to a peak-stage Golden Core Cultivator. The other three Grand Perfected Cultivators also had a similar deal with Sword King. They ruled their own areas and never interfered with one another.

“I’m sorry, but I’m a narrow-minded person. Whoever offends me must pay for what he did. If you hand over Zhao Duluo and ask Lord Beihan to come meet me, I might let the Zhao family go,” Chen Fan said.

Even though Xiao Mang was nervous, she still burst into laughter.

She had never seen someone admitting he was narrow-minded. Chen Fan even said it so naturally.

“So, you’re not planning to leave the royal city?” Sword King said.

“That’s right!”

Chen Fan didn’t hesitate at all.

“Fine, then don’t,” Sword King said and flicked his sleeve.

Swish.

An invisible sword swept across the sky and the air in a few kilometers was split. A long white mark appeared and the sword went towards Chen Fan with terrifying Sword Qi.

Sword King directly made an earth-shattering attack!

And yet, Chen Fan wasn’t scared at all; he simply stuck out his thumb in the air.

“Whoosh.”

A ray of black light flashed across the sky, then turned into a blade aura that clashed against the invisible sword.

“Boom!”

The air exploded.

There were horrific energy waves and the Essence Qi rolled as if there were a storm. The Sword Qi was spread in all directions. Their attacks were comparable to the most powerful nuclear bomb, which could turn everything in ten miles to ashes.

“Freeze.”
