Chapter 572 - Killing Order

Chapter 572 - Killing Order

“Good stuff, truly good stuff!” Chen Fan sighed emotionally, feeling a strong urge to start cultivating right away.

Even though he wasn’t a swordsman, his training was quite diverse, including swordplay, halberd, and spear techniques. He wasn’t attached to any single martial art.

This Green Lotus Sword Scripture would be a priceless treasure to a sword cultivator like Gongsun Zhong, worth more than a thousand gold. The same could be said for Chen Fan.

The Green Lotus Sword Scripture was a heaven-tier martial art!

“My ancient scripture page has such a powerful sword scripture. I wonder what kind of martial arts Li Yao and the others got?” Chen Fan’s gaze flickered.

Based on what he knew, Li Yao and the others must also have obtained exceptional martial arts, likely heaven-tier martial arts. Chen Fan wanted to snatch their pages, but he could only think about it for now.

After all, Li Yao, Qiu Yuexin, and the others were among the best on Hidden Dragon Island.

Although Chen Fan’s strength had greatly increased, matching that of a seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert, he was still likely to fall short compared to Li Yao and the others.

Yun Tao had advanced to the seven-revolution Golden Core realm, but his cultivation remained unstable and out of control. He was more of a quasi-seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert, which allowed Chen Fan to defeat him.

Had he been an experienced seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert with stable cultivation, it would have been very difficult for Chen Fan to defeat him.

This was Chen Fan's conclusion about his strength after the battle at the Dao Palace, the great hall. He was only comparable to a seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert at the early stage.

It’s still not enough. It would be best if I could break through to the Divine Nascent realm before the trial ends. Chen Fan thought, though he knew achieving this goal would be very challenging.

Despite the excellent cultivation environment on Hidden Dragon Island, with its abundance of treasures helping Chen Fan rapidly increase his cultivation, breaking through to the Divine Nascent realm would still be difficult without more Dragon Marrow.

After all, when Chen Fan first set foot on Hidden Dragon Island, the gap in cultivation between him and other top geniuses like Li Yao was immense.

Previously, Chen Fan was only somewhat known, but now he was regarded as a top expert, comparable to Li Yao, Qiu Yuexin, and other top geniuses.

It was clear to everyone that the Battle Heaven Alliance had not only failed to gain any advantages at the Dao Palace great hall but had also suffered significant losses, including numerous casualties. This double blow was entirely blamed on Chen Fan, and the situation was far from over.

The anticipation was high for the Battle Heaven Alliance’s response to Chen Fan.

Sure enough, the Battle Heaven Alliance did not disappoint the crowd. News spread that, over the next forty to fifty days, they would relentlessly pursue Chen Fan. They promised a Nine Aperture Golden Pill as a reward for any information leading to him.

Moreover, anyone who could kill Chen Fan would be promoted to vice alliance leader, commanding three armies.

This announcement created a sense of looming danger, as if a massive storm were about to hit Hidden Dragon Island. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation, and many felt a shiver of apprehension.

Although the Battle Heaven Alliance suffered significant losses at the Dao Palace great hall, losing many elite members and their two vice alliance leaders, their core strength remained intact. As one of the five major alliance forces, their foundation was strong. Despite their heavy losses, their core power was not deeply affected.

The Battle Heaven Alliance had issued a brutal killing order on Chen Fan. No one doubted their seriousness or believed the alliance would crumble so easily. They all thought that Chen Fan would most likely be under heavy pressure after learning of this news.

As word of the killing order spread, the entire Hidden Dragon Island stirred. Many people began moving, searching for Chen Fan.

They were not seeking to kill Chen Fan. As long as they found him and informed the Battle Heaven Alliance of his location, they could get a Nine Aperture Golden Pill. That was worth taking the risk.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was in a cave, intensely cultivating the Green Lotus Sword Scripture and nurturing the Green Lotus Sword Qi within him. He was completely oblivious to the outside situation.

In fact, Chen Fan had anticipated the Battle Heaven Alliance’s reaction. It was exactly what he expected. He was not worried at all, nor was he afraid of the Battle Heaven Alliance.

As long as he raised his strength, let alone the Battle Heaven Alliance, he wouldn’t be afraid of even Heaven’s Equal Alliance. Strength was the ultimate determinant of everything.

Chen Fan circulated the true primeval inside him according to the Green Lotus Sword Scripture’s cultivation method, faintly emitting an extremely sharp aura. That was a faint trace of the Green Lotus Sword Qi.

As he cultivated, the flow of qi around him vaguely formed the shape of a green lotus. It was very magical.
