Chapter 19 - Reverse Kill

“Haah...!”

After advancing his cultivation, Chen Fan let out a roar to the skies. His voice was like thunder, rumbling in all directions. The air trembled as powerful sound waves exploded, creating concentric circles of white airwaves.

He had broken through. In the instant Liao Fan’s sword had pierced his skin, Chen Fan finally pushed through the heavy gates to the fifth level of the Qigong realm.

Liao Fan had already crawled up to his feet, picked up his fallen precious sword, and held it tightly. His expression was gruesome at the moment.

Liao Fan had come so close to achieving his goal. With just a breath's time, he could have destroyed Chen Fan's dantian, crippling his qi cultivation. All of Chen Fan's fortuitous encounters, powerful qi cultivation techniques, martial skills, and body cultivation techniques would have been his. But in the end, it was all in vain.

Chen Fan looked at Liao Fan coldly, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

It was true that a person's potential was often drawn out in life-or-death situations. If he had been cultivating in peace, he would have never advanced so quickly to the fifth level. It would have taken him at least two or three days to reach there.

However, at that moment of imminent danger, he had broken through. His qi cultivation wasn’t destroyed, and he didn’t end up a cripple at Liao Fan's mercy. In that instant, there had been only one thing in his mind, or even his entire being—Breakthrough!

A life-or-death battle was the perfect catalyst for unlocking one's hidden potential. The pressure of facing death, if he failed to break through, had allowed him to triumph against all odds and surpass his limits.

“Hahaha...”

Chen Fan broke out in crazed laughter. His cultivation had improved, his dantian was rich with primeval qi, and his strength had significantly improved. Facing Liao Fan, he no longer worried about dying like before, as his opponent could no longer threaten his life.

“You want my qi cultivation technique and my fortuitous encounter? Come trade it with your life!” Chen Fan stopped laughing, and a murderous aura surged from him.

Earlier, Liao Fan had beaten him up badly; now, it was time for payback.

“Die!”

Chen Fan's voice rang out with a fierce determination. Like a gust of wind, he swiftly charged toward Liao Fan, his primeval qi surging and forming a Vajra Seal. Without mercy, the seal hurtled toward Liao Fan with incredible speed.

With his breakthrough in cultivation, the might of his martial skill had also significantly increased.

A furious roar reverberated through the space as the waves of the Chakravarti Seals slammed down with tremendous force, creating a powerful gust of wind that crushed rocks into powder, sending some of them flying thirty feet away.

This palm was the Chakravarti Seal at major mastery!

“Break!”

Fear crept up in Liao Fan’s eyes. Chen Fan’s cultivation level increasing was one thing; now, even his martial skill had reached a higher realm. The double advancement was good news to Chen Fan, but it was a disaster for him.

Liao Fan stabbed his sword upwards, unleashing a purple lightning bolt. However, the bolt deflated like a balloon at first contact with the Chakravarti Seal.

The Chakravarti Seals continued smashing down, pounding on the precious sword and causing it to shake violently, numbing Liao Fan's fingers. The webbing between his fingers split open further, and fresh blood dripped from his hand as his sword flew out of his grasp.

“No...”

Seeing the layers of Chakravarti Seals raining down at him, Liao Fan let out a roar mixed with fear and fury. His primeval qi spread out, enveloping him. However, he still collapsed instantly from the impact, breaking countless bones and flying away before crashing into a large stone. He fell face down on the ground and vomited mouthfuls of blood; he was on the verge of death.

Chen Fan landed on the ground and picked up Liao Fan’s precious sword before walking toward him step by step.

“No, don’t kill me. I’m a member of the Heaven’s Alliance. They will definitely take revenge for me if you kill me. You won’t have anywhere to escape to!” Liao Fan shrieked in terror.

Chen Fan laughed coldly, “Your little brother made similar threats before, but I still killed him. If the Heaven's Alliance wants to avenge you, then let them come. You think I’m scared of them?”

Chen Fan used to be a martial arts trash of the outer sect with a feeble presence, but even he had heard about Heaven’s Alliance. He knew this was an outer sect organization, but he didn’t know exactly how strong they were.

They couldn't be that powerful because outer sect disciples were, at best, Qi Grandmasters. He wouldn't fear even a Qi Grandmaster if he were to advance two more levels. Therefore, he didn’t worry about Liao Fan’s threat too much. With a wave of his arm, a cold sword light swiped toward Liao Fan’s neck.

If he didn't uproot the grass, it would grow again when the spring wind blew. [1]

Chen Fan understood the importance of eliminating his enemies completely. Moreover, since he had exposed the Heaven Seizing Art to Liao Fan, letting him go would be equivalent to harming himself.

“Don’t...”

Liao Fan’s cries ended abruptly when the sword light swept across his neck, causing blood to spray like an arrow.

1. Meaning more trouble will come at a later time if he didn’t handle the problem thoroughly ?
