Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 866 - The Might of a Kick

“Senior Brother Lei, Senior Brother Shang, why are you so slow? My junior sister and I have been waiting for you for a long time,” Xiao Yuanyuan said with a gentle and lovely smile.

Though she had just arrived herself, her tone made it sound like she’d been there much longer. “Aren’t you going to introduce us? These three are?”

“Gege, what a beautiful chick. Hehe, it’s been a long time since we came across such a good cauldron for the Yin Yang Human Desire Art we practice.” The white-robed twin grinned wickedly.

His greedy gaze lingered on Xiao Yuanyuan as if he couldn’t wait to devour her.

“Gaga, that’s right, big brother, we haven’t enjoyed such a high-quality babe in a very long time.” The black-robed man also laughed strangely, “Babe, how about it? Follow me and I guarantee you will have a taste of paradise, and your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds. Achieving the Manifestation realm will only be a matter of time.”

The two men teased Xiao Yuanyuan shamelessly, their words dripping with malice. Chen Fan’s sharp gaze immediately pierced through their act: these two men walked on the path of dual cultivation, but the heavy nefarious Yin Qi surrounding them revealed it to be far from any proper method.

Speaking of which, dual cultivation was not an evil path but an orthodox path. For instance, the Yellow Emperor, said to have conquered hundreds of women in a single night, achieved immortality through such practices.

Moreover, Daoism also had proper dual cultivation methods, and Buddhism also had the so-called principles of the tantras. All in all, dual cultivation was not some corrupt practice.

Furthermore, martial artists valued four key aspects: wealth, companionship, technique, and land. Among these, companionship referred to one’s Dao companion, a concept that often included dual cultivation.

However, not all martial arts that practiced the art of dual cultivation were orthodox. While proper methods prioritized mutual benefit, balancing long-term growth and satisfaction for both parties, the methods of the evil sects were predatory. Such techniques drained one party’s essence, often leaving them to wither and die.

Chen Fan remembered Sang Chong, someone he had slain in the past. He also practiced a dual cultivation method, but it was an evil method that plundered women’s primeval Yin, leaving his victims with tragic fates.

Similarly, these two men clearly followed an evil school of dual cultivation. Their malevolent aura made it clear that they were not righteous individuals.

Chen Fan took a closer look, and he realized that Xiao Yuanyuan had an Innate Charming Bone physique—a rare and highly desirable trait. Though uncommon among humans, it was frequently seen in the fox clan.

Fox spirits, known for their alluring movements, often possessed this physique, making them ideal for dual cultivation. No matter if it was an orthodox or an evil dual cultivation method, they would progress rapidly.

It was no wonder these two men fixated on Xiao Yuanyuan. If they used her as a cauldron for their techniques, their cultivation would undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds.

Compared to these two men, Xiao Yuanyuan didn’t seem to be aware of her physique.

Instead, her gaze toward them was filled with pure disgust—an instinctive reaction to their brazen and lascivious stares.

“Fuck off!” Xiao Yuanyuan snapped, her dauntless tone a sharp contrast to her previously gentle appearance.

Her outburst caught the attention of Gu Tian, her self-proclaimed protector. Stepping forward, he issued a warning to the pair.

“You two better know your place, or I won’t hesitate to spill some blood before moving on with our business!”

It was evident Gu Tian had his own designs on Xiao Yuanyuan. Allowing others to cross the line with her would only undermine his position.

The white-robed man stared at Gu Tian with a sinister and vicious gaze and said, “Kill us? Gege, pretty boy, you have guts!”

The twins were both in the early-stage, half-step Manifestation realm. But, together, they could fight even a middle-stage, half-step Manifestation realm expert, so they did not fear Gu Tian at all.

“A bunch of ugly ghosts,” Gu Tian said disdainfully.

However, as soon as his voice fell, a sharp wind-breaking sound was heard. A figure suddenly appeared in front of them and kicked at Gu Tian.

Boom!

This kick seemingly had the momentum to bring the world to its end. It formed a huge apocalyptic world and a terrifying aura shrouded Gu Tian. The air in the surroundings froze, looking very terrifying.

Gu Tian, however, was no amateur. His cultivation gave him the tools to react swiftly. With a cold shout, he raised his arms in a cross to block the attack.

Rumble!

The entire space sank from the kick. Immediately afterward, cracking sounds rang out.

Gu Tian let out a low groan and flew out, spewing fresh blood along the way. His arms dangled limply at his side, broken from a single kick.

Everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. Seeing this scene in front of them, they all raised their eyebrows in shock.

Proud and arrogant as they were, witnessing this scene made cold sweat trickle down their backs.

Gu Tian’s middle-stage, half-step, Manifestation realm cultivation ensured that he was no weakling, yet his arms broke from a kick. The sheer power behind that strike sent shivers through everyone present.

The figure responsible for the devastating attack finally stepped forward—it was Shang Ziyan.

Shang Ziyan had an icy expression, looking at Gu Tian viciously. His thin lips parted as he said, “I’ll kick you to death the next time you spout nonsense, pretty boy!”

His voice was hoarse and low. Coupled with what just happened, it instantly sent chills all over everyone’s bodies. He was like an evil spirit that had crawled out from hell.

Gu Tian’s face was flushed, forcibly suppressing his injuries. He stood up from the ground, his gaze extremely icy.

Never before had he found himself in such a miserable state. A prideful genius, revered wherever he went, now humiliated and kicked like a dog.

Crack, crack.

Gu Tian’s broken arms recovered in a flash after some treatment.

After reaching the Divine Nascent realm, martial artists’ vitality was immensely powerful, making them extraordinarily difficult to kill. And for Heavenly Star realm martial artists, broken bones were barely an inconvenience. Within moments, Gu Tian’s arms were restored.

Although his arms recovered very quickly, Gu Tian’s face was unusually ashen.

Gu Tian’s instincts told him Shang Ziyan wasn’t someone to provoke lightly. Despite his comical and grotesque appearance, Shang Ziyan exuded a ferocious, untamed aura.

Chen Fan finally understood what Su Tong meant earlier when she said he was very bad-tempered.

When Gu Tian said a bunch of ugly ghosts earlier, naturally, he had included Shang Ziyan.

This group of people were all handsome men and pretty women. Even if Chen Fan couldn’t be called strikingly dashing, he could still be described as delicate and refined—far removed from anything resembling ugliness.

The exceptions were Shang Ziyan and the two men, who were, without exaggeration, genuinely unattractive.

Even so, Shang Ziyan’s reaction was indeed a little too snappy. It was clear that he was deeply self-conscious about his appearance.

After all, people often care the most about what they lack. The more one fixates on their looks, the more likely they are to feel inadequate, often resorting to meticulous grooming in a bid to hide their flaws.
