Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1547 - Immovable

“Gegege!”

A bizarre crackling came from Shan Qiu’s throat that sounded like bones being crushed. It could send shivers down anyone’s spine.

He looked up and stared at Chen Fan. “You dare call me a bastard! Gegege! You lowly human slave, you’ve touched my reverse scale. I will kill you, that’s a certainty, but then I will extract your soul and seal it within your skull. I’ll burn you endlessly with demonic flames and make you scream and beg for the sweet release of death!”

Shan Qiu’s declaration was simply the most vicious curse imaginable.

Swish!

Before the chilling threat could even settle in the water, Shan Qiu vanished into a blur, rocketing straight at Chen Fan, slicing through the ocean like a living blade; a massive green fist surged forward, carving a path through the sea.

Boom!

The sea churned in an instant. Endless seawater exploded at this moment. The terrifying force caused the deep-sea trench to tremble violently.

Bang!

Though Chen Fan braced himself, a torrent of power slammed into him and tossed him backward, wild and unstoppable, until blood spattered at the corner of his mouth.

“So strong! So fast!” A stunned gasp slipped from Chen Fan’s lips.

Shan Qiu had struck with such speed that Chen Fan barely had time to register the blow. By the time he realized what was happening, the attack was upon him. He blocked on pure reflex and was still overwhelmed.

Of course, part of that was the underwater setting. Here, Shan Qiu was in his own element, his power amplified. Yet it was also a testament to Shan Qiu's fearsome might.

Given Chen Fan’s current strength, he should be able to fight a fifth-level Immortal Platform realm expert. But against Shan Qiu, simply defending himself felt nigh impossible.

“You withstood my attack? Not bad! Those human worms must call you a pride of heaven. Very well, I love collecting the heads of prodigies the most. I’ll take your head for sure!”

Shan Qiu was a little surprised, as he had expected the punch to kill Chen Fan, not just make him spew a bit of blood. Still, that meant nothing. He could withstand one punch... What about five? Ten? Hundred?

In a flash, he charged forth again like a savage crocodile slicing the waves, his malevolent qi surging through the water. The force of his punch blasted the seawater aside, slamming toward Chen Fan in a heartbeat.

“Eye of Breaking Deception, open!”

Chen Fan’s law power surged as he activated the Eye of Breaking Deception. His speed, already sluggish underwater, lagged ever more beside Shan Qiu, whose sea tribe blood made him swift and deadly, like a fish but much more powerful.

It was a fact that the sea complemented the strength of the sea tribes. This was also why the human race was weaker than the sea tribes in these seas. When they clashed, the human race lost more than they won.

With the activation of his Eye of Breaking Deception, Chen Fan finally saw Shan Qiu’s attack clearly. However, he was still a little late in responding and was sent flying by his punch, spewing a large mouthful of fresh blood.

“Good, good, good. You’re the first brat in the second-level Immortal Platform realm to have withstood two punches from me. Very good, I’m becoming more and more interested in your head!”

When Shan Qiu’s voice reached Chen Fan’s ears, the third punch was already closing in.

Swish!

However, Chen Fan could see the trajectory of Shan Qiu’s attack now. He quickly dodged to the side, causing Shan Qiu to miss.

“Hmm? You dodged it!” Shan Qiu said in disbelief.

“I can also counterattack!”

Chen Fan launched a counterattack the moment his voice rang out, unleashing a sword slash that parted the seawater.

Boom, tch!

Yet Shan Qiu swiped with a single hand, shattering Chen Fan’s sword qi. “Cute. But your attack is pitiful, not even enough to tickle!”

Refusing to let the mockery faze him, Chen Fan drew his fist back and punched. It was a punch that blazed like a star.

“Seven Stars Fist Art, Phecda!”

Over the past month in the sea, although Chen Fan had experienced one battle after another, he had also been using those battles to cultivate the Seven Stars Fist Art and had achieved some results. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

However, he still hadn’t filled in its missing techniques due to the sheer number of immortal stones required.

“Megrez!”

“Alioth!”

“Mizar!”

“Alkaid!”

Chen Fan unleashed five punches in an instant.

Five streams of fist force turned into five stars, forming an incomplete constellation. It descended, suppressing the world, and blew up endless seawater.

Bang, bang, bang!

Shan Qiu’s palms lunged and crashed like rampaging crocodiles, tearing Chen Fan’s constellation apart blow by blow, shattering reefs in their wake.

“The power is not bad. Unfortunately, it’s incomplete. If it were a complete martial art, maybe you’d actually threaten me.”

Shan Qiu looked like a pillar rooted in the sea, shattering Chen Fan’s attacks without so much as budging. Suddenly, another stream of fist force rushed over.

“Hmm?” Shan Qiu sensed a hint of danger.

The incoming blow seemed ordinary, but as it neared, it radiated a forceful dominion that overshadowed the Seven Stars Fist Art itself, as though nothing could withstand this strike.

This was Chen Fan’s first technique: Royal Path Divine Fist.

“Death Roll!” Shan Qiu shouted. Law power erupted around him like countless tiny crocodiles. The seawater exploded nonstop, forming the silhouette of a huge crocodile. It opened its mouth wide and bit down on the oncoming fist force, then rolled around viciously.

Bang, bang, bang!

The water exploded, the crocodile form spinning, draining the might from Chen Fan’s attack until both faded into oblivion.

Shan Qiu stared at Chen Fan with wide eyes and asked, “What fist art is this? It actually made me feel a hint of danger!”

Chen Fan, in his heart, calculated the distance between him and Shan Qiu as he said half-heartedly, “Make a guess.”

He’s immovable! If we’re on land, perhaps I can still contend against him somewhat, but in the sea, he can bring out a hundred and twenty percent of his strength. No one below the sixth level can fight against him.

Ah, forget this. I can’t afford to take heavy wounds now. It’s not worth the risk! If that’s how it has to be, I’ll use the Nine Immortals Bell, even if it drains a mountain of immortal stones. Hopefully I can recoup the loss by looting Shan Qiu when the dust clears...

Just as Chen Fan braced himself and weighed his next move, Shan Qiu charged in again, wilder than ever.
