Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 867 - Using Chen Fan to Establish Dominance?

Xiao Yuanyuan looked at Shang Ziyan with a somewhat ugly expression, her previous charm nowhere to be seen.

Gu Tian was her helper, so this seemed like a slap to her face.

Though she wore a courtesan’s smile, as an early-stage, half-step Manifestation realm expert, how could she not have her pride and ego?

“Gaga, I told you, babe. This pretty boy is useless,” the white-robed man sneered, his laugh grating. “Why not throw yourself into our arms instead? We’ll make you feel like you’re in seventh heaven.”

Xiao Yuanyuan’s expression became incredibly ugly, and she ignored the brothers.

Suddenly, Shang Ziyan’s cold voice cut through the tension. His icy gaze swept the crowd. “Now, I’ll announce one thing,” he said with a hoarse voice. “I’ll be the one commanding this squad. All of you have to listen to my instructions. Who agrees? Who objects?”

The crowd erupted in murmurs of disbelief. Even Lei Yuanjie and Su Tong, original members of the squad, were caught off guard.

Everyone was stunned. Had he gone crazy?

He was indeed very powerful, but everyone else was in the half-step Manifestation realm and had their own hidden aces.

Su Tong, for instance, could even challenge a middle-stage opponent if she revealed her full strength.

Yet now, Shang Ziyan was demanding total control—something they couldn’t easily accept.

“Cripple, you must be crazy!” Gu Tian snapped first.

Already at odds with Shang Ziyan, he had no reason to hold back.

Shang Ziyan’s sharp gaze immediately shot over like a blade, his intent clear: he wouldn’t hesitate to start a fight if provoked.

Finally, Lei Yuanjie broke the stalemate as he said, “This is actually perfect. Our group is made up of people from all over, and everyone’s strength is on a similar level. As the saying goes, a snake can’t move without its head. We need someone to unify our direction—otherwise, differing opinions will only create chaos.”

Though surprised by Shang Ziyan’s bold move, he shared a tacit understanding with him and now openly supported his suggestion.

“Everyone has seen Brother Shang’s strength. He’s definitely the strongest among us. I feel like Brother Shang should command the squad.”

Su Tong and Xiao Yuanyuan’s expressions did not look good.

Among the four original members, the two of them were already at a disadvantage, especially with Shang Ziyan and Lei Yuanjie clearly aligned. Their earlier departure and synchronized return now made sense.

To complicate matters, Su Tong and Xiao Yuanyuan didn’t get along, making any alliance between them impossible.

At this time, Su Tong’s voice entered Chen Fan’s ear. “Brother Chen, now you see why I said we need to work closely together.”

“Since no one has any objections, I’ll take it as your agreement.”

Shang Ziyan glanced at the crowd with an icy gaze. Immediately, they felt as if a wild beast was watching them attentively.

While Chen Fan’s unrivaled combat strength made him radiate a ferocious beast-like aura, Shang Ziyan felt more like a monster in human skin—cold, sinister, and terrifying.

Lei Yuanjie then introduced the two men accompanying Shang Ziyan: the Yin Yang Twins.

The Yin Yang Twins were infamous for their exploits on a certain demonic island, where they preyed on countless women, plundering their primeval Yin to fuel their cultivation. Their reputations were as vile as they were feared.

In contrast, the black-clothed, icy woman was Sun Yuhan, an exceptional disciple of a female demon king.

After introductions, the black-robed man of the Yin Yang Twins sneered and turned his attention to Chen Fan.

“Gege, brat, you’re only in the ninth-level Heavenly Star realm, yet you dare to join us, that’s very gutsy of you. You’ll only drag us down with you when the time comes!”

Aside from Su Tong, no one seemed to care, treating the remark as none of their concern.

Evidently, everyone doubted Chen Fan had the strength to join them.

While he couldn’t be considered weak; compared to them, he was weak, making the criticism seem justified.

That white-robed man’s gaze was eerily cold, obviously recognizing Chen Fan as well. However, he did not attach any importance to Chen Fan at all.

“We’ll test him,” he said with a sinister grin. “If he’s too weak, he’ll die—talent means nothing without strength.”

Obtaining a seat in the top ten only represented that Chen Fan possessed monstrous talents; it said nothing about his strength.

To the Yin Yang Twins, monstrous geniuses who hadn’t yet matured were their favorite prey.

As soon as the white-robed man’s voice fell, a vast aura locked onto Chen Fan. Suddenly, a large, pale-white hand reached toward him, turning into a Yin Yang fish. [1]

This was the Yin Yang Twins’ famous ultimate technique, the Yin Yang Hand Grab. Despite having no grudge against him, the white-robed twin launched a fatal attack, showcasing his ruthless nature.

The white Yin Yang fish widened its maw and bit down violently toward Chen Fan. It transformed into a monstrous beast, its physical form shaped by converging primeval qi.

The white-robed man had mastered the Yin Yang Hand Grab to an unpredictable realm, wielding it as if commanding the collapse of the world itself.

“Overestimating yourself!” Chen Fan sneered coldly. His qi and blood instantly erupted, boiling violently and surging into the sky. He unleashed a punch that flew out like a descending meteorite.

Rumble!

The deafening explosions rang out in an instant.

It was like two continents had collided together, setting off an incomparably terrifying storm that instantly swept through the entire world.

The momentum of Chen Fan’s punch did not diminish and blew away the white Yin Yang fish.

Boom!

The Yin Yang fish exploded in the air, reduced into endless primeval qi and dissipating into space.

Chen Fan strode forth with imposing steps, closing in on the white-robed man.

His terrifying fist was like a meteorite or a star, arriving in a flash. A terrifying aura instantly shrouded the white-robed man completely.

Sensing the terrifying force and aura on Chen Fan’s fist, the white-robed man cursed inwardly. Activating his true primeval energy, he channeled it into his legs, retreating frantically to avoid the devastating blow.

“You think you can escape?” Chen Fan smiled coldly. His figure turned into a blur, sticking close to the retreating white-robed man. His terrifying fist was like a guided missile, clinging tightly onto the white-robed man and not letting go.

Chen Fan had realized that the Yin Yang Twins thought that his cultivation made him weak and wanted to use him to help Shang Ziyan establish his dominance.

However, they had picked the wrong target!

“Yin Yang Protection, infinite chaos, everlasting!”

A Yin Yang fish manifested itself on the white-robed man, swallowing its tail and transforming into a Taiji diagram. The spinning symbol stood as a barrier before him.

1. Yin Yang fish refers to the symbol of Taiji, but the black and white circle is made up of two koi fish instead. ☜
