Chapter 1400 - Gai Huang Gives Chase

Chapter 1400 - Gai Huang Gives Chase

A single thought struck everyone at once.

Gai Huang is back!

In an instant, the suffocating atmosphere that had weighed them down for half a month erupted like a volcano.

Since Gai Huang had returned, that brat was as good as finished. After all, Chen Fan hadn’t left after killing Gai Youdi and the others; he had stayed behind. They didn’t know why, but to them it was good news: Gai Huang’s wrath would not fall on them, and they would escape the disaster unscathed.

Countless divine wills appeared in the sky and swept out one after another.

A white figure arrived, carrying an unmatched aura, and descended upon the Eclipse City. When he stopped, the crowd finally saw him: a white-robed youth resembling Gai Youdi, yet far more imposing, with an aura more than ten times stronger.

Without a doubt, this person was the Eclipse Alliance’s leader, Gai Huang.

As expected, he had returned!

Gai Huang’s divine will exploded outward without restraint, crushing the lesser wills in the sky as he descended directly upon the city lord’s mansion. At once, he detected a faint aura within.

“He’s indeed still here!”

“Are you breaking through? What guts you have, to kill my little brother, destroy my Eclipse Alliance, and then openly attempt a breakthrough in the city lord’s mansion. Your boldness really knows no bounds. Well, fine, that saves me the trouble of finding you!”

Endless cold killing intent swept out from Gai Huang’s eyes. With a swish, he swept over to the city lord’s mansion.

“Bastard, are you going to hide and not come out?”

Arriving above the city lord’s mansion, Gai Huang’s overwhelming aura swept out, causing heaven and earth to change colors. His sixth-stage half-immortal realm cultivation erupted without restraint, leaving the people of the city pale and trembling.

His terrifying aura simply left their scalps feeling numb, like they were facing a heavenly god.

“Then I’ll just drag you out, you bastard!”

His fierce gaze locked onto the place where Chen Fan was secluded in breakthrough, and he brought his palm crashing down.

Rumble!

A colossal hand manifested in the sky, surging with terrifying fluctuations; in the blink of an eye, it swept downward like lightning. The city lord’s mansion quaked under its oppressive weight, buildings collapsing one after another.

Inside the city lord’s mansion, Chen Fan opened his eyes, a cold gleam flashing within.

He had sensed who had come, though he hadn’t expected the arrival so soon.

It didn’t matter, however. He had already broken through to the middle-stage Void Immortal realm. Otherwise, the disturbance would have shattered his advancement and left him crippled by backlash.

Feeling the crushing force descend from the void, Chen Fan rose straight into the air.

Rumble!

The enormous hand slammed down, its power engulfing the mansion. The ground shook as thunderous noise rolled across the city; in an instant, the city lord’s mansion was reduced to rubble.

At that critical moment, a golden figure burst into the sky from the mansion. As the light receded, the crowd saw it was none other than Chen Fan himself.

Chhh.

Gai Huang’s gaze bore into him. Golden swords flickered within his pupils, stabbing out like blades aimed directly at Chen Fan’s eyes.

“You killed my little brother and destroyed my Eclipse Alliance?”

His sharp gaze locked onto Chen Fan. He was like a ferocious beast that devoured people. If Chen Fan admitted to it, he would immediately strike to kill.

Chen Fan sensed the boundlessly terrifying aura coming from Gai Huang, and his gaze became slightly serious.

As expected of a sixth-stage half-immortal. Gai Huang’s murderous qi alone was enough to make Chen Fan feel threatened.

“That’s right.” Chen Fan nodded, showing no hesitation.

“Very well. Bold indeed. You kill my brother, shatter my Eclipse Alliance, and still dare to sit in my mansion waiting for my return. You’re the gutsiest fool I’ve ever met.” Murderous qi surged around Gai Huang, boiling over like a storm. “But boldness means nothing if you lack strength; otherwise, it’s nothing but courting death!”

“You’ve said so much... yet it’s all nonsense,” Chen Fan replied coolly.

The killing intent in Gai Huang’s eyes deepened. This guy was indeed a fool with boundless arrogance. Even when facing certain death, Chen Fan mocked him without fear.

“In that case, go to hell!”

He struck in an instant, lightning-fast. A massive hand swept through the sky, reaching to crush Chen Fan.

But just as it closed in, Chen Fan’s form dissolved into a streak of golden light, vanishing without a trace. In the next moment, he reappeared a thousand meters away. The Wings of the Rain Dragon spread wide, allowing him to flicker in and out of sight as though teleporting.

“Such speed!”

A look of surprise appeared on Gai Huang’s face when he saw that Chen Fan had dodged his attack, though the surprise quickly twisted into savagery. “Hmph, even if you fled to the ends of the world, your fate today is sealed—death!”

Gai Huang stepped forward, pursuit relentless.

A dark red spear appeared in his hand, emitting faint immortal light, and stabbed toward Chen Fan violently.

“Break!” Chen Fan shouted, unleashing a resplendent sword light that collided with the oncoming spear qi.

The collision lit the sky, yet his sword light shattered almost instantly, unable to withstand the violent force. The spear qi tore forward, still driving straight at him.

“So strong... Despite the strength boost from my recent breakthrough, I am still no match for a sixth-stage half-immortal realm. The gap is still too big.”

Chen Fan’s irises contracted as he instantly gauged the difference between himself and Gai Huang.

As his cultivation broke through to the middle-stage Void Immortal level, his combat strength also rose to new heights, becoming on par with that of a fourth-stage half-immortal. However, the gap was still enormous when compared to the sixth-stage half-immortal.

Without hesitation, Chen Fan abandoned all thoughts of direct confrontation. The Wings of the Rain Dragon flared open, beating furiously as his figure shot into the distance.

“Bastard, where are you going!”

There was no way Gai Huang would let Chen Fan leave. He immediately gave chase.

Boom, boom, boom!

Each time Gai Huang’s massive hand reached for him, Chen Fan slipped away like a phantom, always just out of reach.

Gai Huang grew furious, as Chen Fan was moving too casually, as if he didn’t care about his attacks at all, and was strolling in the void. In mere moments, Chen Fan had already crossed hundreds of kilometers and vanished from the crowd’s sight.
