Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1059 - Zhu Tianzong Courting Death

The Yandang Mountains lay in a perilous region of the Hong Domain.

A silhouette tore through the sky—it wasn’t Chen Fan but Zhu Tianzong.

His grudge against Chen Fan was undeniable; he saw him as a target that had to be eliminated. But infiltrating the True Martial Academy to assassinate him? That was suicide.

So, to draw him out from the True Martial Academy, he set his eyes on Chen Fan’s family.

After finding out information on Chen Fan’s family, he went to the Hong Domain and descended on the Great Chen Empire’s imperial palace and killed the true primeval incarnation Chen Fan left behind to protect his parents.

He knew word of this would reach Chen Fan at the True Martial Academy after he killed the true primeval incarnation, sparing him the need to send a message.

However, he was surprised to find that Chen Zhengqing had a Grade-7 treasure, one that specialized in defense. Its defensive power was comparable to a Grade-8 treasure, so he couldn’t break through it quickly.

Even so, Zhu Tianzong saw Chen Zhengqing, Nangong Yue, and Chen Wushang as cornered prey, trapped within the treasure’s protection.

He believed that after learning about his parents’ kidnapping, Chen Fan would come to the Yandang Mountains to find him.

“Hmph, hmph, Chen Fan, you didn’t expect this, did you? Hmph hmph! Consider this my gift. Soon, your whole family will join you in hell!”

With that, Zhu Tianzong slammed his palm on the city treasure, making it shake violently.

Inside the treasure, Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue suddenly spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Zhu Tianzong was so strong that even a blow of air from him could kill them.

Even though he couldn’t break through the city treasure, the shock he set off could still injure their divine nascent.

At just four or five years old, Chen Wushang had grown into an adorably resilient child. Though fear flickered across his face, he didn’t cry or panic.

“Father, Mother!” yelled Chen Wushang, seeing Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue spewing fresh blood.

Nangong Yue wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of her mouth and comforted him, “Don’t be scared, Wushang. We’re fine. Your brother will come for us.”

Chen Wushang looked at Nangong Yue and said, “Really? Big Brother will save us?”

“Of course. He definitely will.”

“Mmm, Wushang isn’t scared. Wushang will wait for Big Brother to come save us,” he said, nodding firmly.

Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue exchanged glances and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.

Even if Chen Fan came, could he save them?

They were well aware of Zhu Tianzong’s strength. It was like the will of heaven itself, beyond mortal strength.

Although they were very proud of Chen Fan, they had little confidence he could prevail. And if he wasn’t a match... what then?

“Hahahaha! Hiding in your little turtle shell, waiting for that brat Chen Fan to save you? Good. That’s exactly what I wanted. When he comes, I will cut down that little bastard right before your eyes.”

Zhu Tianzong’s arrogant words reached them inside.

Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue remained silent, but their worries deepened.

How could they not know that Zhu Tianzong’s goal was to use them to lure Chen Fan out? If he dared to act, he was certain of success.

At this moment, both prayed silently.

Chen Fan, don’t come. Even if we die, as long as you live, it’s enough.

“Hahahaha, before Chen Fan gets here, I’ll have my fun torturing you to vent my grudge from the past few years!”

Zhu Tianzong bombarded the city treasure continuously. The terrifying shock caused Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue to keep spewing blood.

“Hahahaha!” Zhu Tianzong laughed savagely. The city treasure was like a toy in his hands.

He didn’t want to kill Chen Zhengqing and the others right away. He wanted Chen Fan to witness their suffering, to feel helpless rage.

Boom, tch!

Suddenly, a streak of terrifying sword qi tore through the sky, slashing toward Zhu Tianzong like lightning.

Zhu Tianzong jumped in fright, but he immediately smiled coldly and sent out a palm strike, shattering that oncoming streak of sword qi. He stopped bombarding the city treasure and looked into the distance with a cold gaze.

A silhouette loomed, growing larger by the second.

The killing intent in Zhu Tianzong’s eyes instantly reached its peak. He laughed out loud and said, “Hahahaha, Chen Fan, you’re finally here. A little later, and I’d have shattered this turtle shell!”

Chen Fan’s voice thundered in response. “Zhu Tianzong, you’re courting death!”

Overwhelming killing intent swept out from Chen Fan, shattering the sky.

He looked at Zhu Tianzong as if he were looking at a dead man.

No, Chen Fan wouldn’t kill Zhu Tianzong so easily. He would make him regret everything he had done today.

“You should have stayed hidden when the True Martial City’s lord spared your worthless life. But instead, you dared to show yourself—and worse, you angered me. Tell me, how do you want to die?”

Chen Fan’s fury was boundless.

Yet, seeing him so enraged, exasperated, and furious, Zhu Tianzong didn’t flinch. Instead, he laughed maniacally.

“Hahahaha.”

He relished Chen Fan’s anger; it felt exhilarating.

“Die? Don’t make me laugh, Chen Fan. I see you’ve advanced to the seventh level from the fifth level of the Manifestation realm in just two to three years. However, what you don’t know is that, if it weren’t for that palm strike, I finally grasped the laws. If not for you, who knows how long it would’ve taken? So, as thanks, I’ll reunite your whole family in hell.”

A faint aura of law surged around Zhu Tianzong as he awaited Chen Fan’s shock.

Unfortunately, however, he was disappointed. Aside from anger, there was still only anger on Chen Fan’s face.

Sensing the faint aura of law Zhu Tianzong emitted, Chen Fan wanted to burst out laughing.

“Zhu Tianzong, that’s your hidden card?”

“Did you never bother to find out what I’ve been doing these past two years? And yet, you dared lay hands on my family? How utterly ridiculous!” Chen Fan said disdainfully.

Seeing the look of contempt on Chen Fan’s face, Zhu Tianzong became somewhat stupefied. “Hmm?”

He had always been recuperating in the last two to three years.

For the past two or three years, he had been recovering. Unlike Chen Fan, his progress was slow. He lacked that monstrous ability to heal and grow stronger at such a pace.

After emerging, Zhu Tianzong had only bothered to track down Chen Fan’s family. He never thought of finding out what Chen Fan had been doing these last two or three years.

In his mind, at best, Chen Fan could have advanced from the fifth-level Manifestation realm to the sixth-level Manifestation realm.

But now, hearing Chen Fan’s tone, something felt off—things were slipping out of his control.

“Zhu Tianzong, you were lucky enough to be alive, but you didn’t know how to cherish it and still dared to come out courting death. Fine, fine, after today, you have no future. You won’t live to see another sunrise.”

As his words fell, he stepped forward, his aura surging with every stride.

“Is perceiving the laws a big deal?”

Boom!

In an instant, an overwhelming law aura erupted from Chen Fan, sweeping across the sky.

Zhu Tianzong stood frozen, utterly stupefied.
