Chapter 1371 - Forced into Desperation in One Stroke

“I have the legacy of an Immortal Emperor, so no matter how much of a genius you are, you will collapse at first contact. I am destined to enter the top three, Chen Fan. Remember my name: Tie Rushan!”

Wielding a saber, Tie Rushan looked at Chen Fan coldly.

“An Immortal Emperor’s legacy?”

Chen Fan furrowed his brow.

He had once felt the aura of a true Immortal Emperor. Even a mere legacy carried unfathomable weight. The power radiating from Tie Rushan was proof enough. His aura already surpassed Xing Qian’s. This was no ordinary opponent.

“That’s right. Losing to me is no shame, for I am destined to become an Immortal Emperor behemoth. You should consider that an honor. You, on the other hand, may never even reach the Immortal King realm. I am fated; you are not,” said Tie Rushan very proudly.

“You speak well, but legacy or no legacy, Immortal Emperor or Sage, nothing will stop my advance,” Chen Fan said firmly.

His target was the top three, perhaps even the first place. How could he be stopped here? Even if Tie Rushan were the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, he still couldn’t stop Chen Fan.

“Oh? So you don’t plan on surrendering? Then so be it. Since you wish to dream, I shall wake you up and show you what it means to bear the legacy of an Immortal Emperor!” said Tie Rushan.

Rumble!

In an instant, a stream of terrifying saber intent rushed out from Tie Rushan, shaking the entire spatial battlefield.

He seemed to have transformed into a saber emperor, or an all-destroying saber about to split heaven and earth apart. Everything in its path would be annihilated in a single slash.

Clang!

The saber unleashed a terrifying streak of light that tore through the sky. It seemed to cleave through the river of time, destined to exist forever, cutting through heaven and earth until nothing remained but that single streak of brilliance.

Unlike Xing Qian’s fierce yet fleeting attacks, Tie Rushan’s saber light radiated pure dominance.

The saber was the overlord among weapons; in the orthodox Dao of the saber, speed, trickery, or elegance were secondary paths. True essence lay only in dominance.

Chen Fan was very well aware of this, as he was also an expert in the saber Dao. Combined with his Hegemonic Golden Body, he was incomparably ferocious. His saber was not merely domineering; it surpassed Tie Rushan’s entirely.

“Good saber art, but it’s useless in front of me. I don’t care if yours is an Immortal Emperor or a Sage’s legacy, you have to submit when you encounter me!” Chen Fan laughed out loud as he condensed a saber of laws in his hand. The moment Tie Rushan’s strike descended, Chen Fan moved.

Swish!

Chen Fan swung his saber, slashing down and unleashing a terrifying saber light that illuminated the entire sky in an instant.

Boom!

The two streaks of terrifying saber lights collided violently in the sky. Dominance clashed against dominance—neither willing to yield, both threatening to erase the world itself beneath their overwhelming brilliance.

Yet Chen Fan’s saber light was fiercer still. It carried the vicious will of the Vicious Suppressor Saber, imbued with absolute dominance, as though it could cut down gods and buddhas alike. His strike shredded Tie Rushan’s saber light, crushed it into nothingness, and thundered forward, unstoppable, toward its wielder.

“What?”

Intense shock flashed in Tie Rushan’s eyes. He never thought that he had miscalculated Chen Fan’s strength.

Although it was only a single exchange, Tie Rushan already felt how terrifying Chen Fan was, and he no longer had any thoughts of underestimating him.

The arrogance he carried from inheriting an Immortal Emperor’s legacy shattered instantly. The domineering saber art he had relied on, the very blade that had cut down all his opponents thus far, was utterly crushed. Chen Fan’s saber Dao wasn’t just domineering; it eclipsed his own.

In front of Chen Fan, the saber Dao he had taken such pride in gained no advantage at all. It was easily suppressed, effortlessly broken. That alone proved Chen Fan’s superiority.

He stomped his foot, retreating in a hurry, and pulled dozens of kilometers away before barely avoiding Chen Fan’s saber light. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Rumble!

Chen Fan’s saber light slashed the ground, leaving a huge crack. Dust swept out along with sand and stones.

The power of his slash caused Tie Rushan’s expression to change drastically.

But there was no time to think. Chen Fan was already in pursuit.

A resplendent saber light erupted once more, blazing across the sky as Chen Fan slashed toward him. His speed was monstrous, crossing dozens of kilometers in a flash. Before Tie Rushan could even react, Chen Fan was already upon him.

Only those standing at the heart of this storm could understand the terror of Chen Fan’s saber Dao.

Tie Rushan roared furiously, activating all his powers. He was already fighting with all his might.

Finally, he understood why Xing Qian had lost so badly. Chen Fan’s strength was too terrifying. If Tie Rushan failed to block this strike, he would suffer grievous wounds on the spot.

The crowd outside was also dumbstruck.

No one had expected Chen Fan to display such mastery in the saber Dao. One strike was all it took to drive Tie Rushan, bearer of an Immortal Emperor’s legacy, into a desperate situation. Even the saber Dao Tie Rushan had taken pride in was overpowered.

Soon, the crowd came back to their senses. An Immortal Emperor’s legacy, or whatever, didn’t count for anything in the face of absolute strength.

A look of horror appeared on Tie Rushan’s face. With a boom, a mass of unknown energy swept out, ring after ring, forming a domain of saber Dao around him.

Rumble!

However, Chen Fan’s slash ignored everything, slashing through all obstacles in its path with absolute domineering strength.

“It’s over! Tie Rushan is about to be defeated. Chen Fan is too powerful. He probably didn’t even use his full power against Xing Qian!”

“That’s right. Just where is his limit?”

The crowd buzzed in shock and disbelief until a sudden cry rang out.

“No, it’s not over yet!”

Boom!

Chen Fan’s strike suddenly sank into emptiness. It was as if he had slashed into another world: a world forged entirely from the saber Dao, where even commoners cultivated the blade and kings and dukes exalted it as their pride.

Although the slash cut through this world of saber Dao, it wasn’t as fast as expected, resulting in a slight delay, allowing Tie Rushan to escape unharmed.

Rumble!

Chen Fan’s slash struck the ground once more, creating another terrifying, huge crack.
