Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1061 - Zhu Tianzong’s Secret

“Don’t, Xiaofan! Don’t worry about us!” Chen Zhengqing’s voice echoed from within the city treasure.

“Hmph!” Zhu Tianzong’s face turned cold. With a flick of his wrist, a surge of force rippled into the treasure, followed by the pained groans of Chen Zhengqing and Nangong Yue.

Chen Fan’s gaze turned cold. A terrifying, gloomy, chilling intent swept out.

Sensing the chilling intent, Zhu Tianzong’s expression changed, but a savage smile immediately appeared on his face.

Chen Fan’s reaction told him that he cared very much about them, and now he was holding on to Chen Fan’s weakness.

Zhu Tianzong reveled in the thought.

So what if he was a peerless monster? A disciple of the True Martial Academy? Stronger than him? In the end, he was still bound by emotion—still at his mercy.

“Chen Fan, what are you doing just standing there? Your parents and your younger brother’s lives are in my hands. Are you forcing me to kill them?” His voice dripped with malice as deadly energy surged in his palm.

“Now, I’ll count to three. If you don’t waste your cultivation by then, I’ll have your parents and younger brother buried with me. Hahahaha.”

“One.”

Chen Fan looked at Zhu Tianzong, killing intent boiling in his heart. He had never felt such intense killing intent toward someone before.

“Two.”

Zhu Tianzong saw the cold fury in Chen Fan’s eyes and relished it. The stronger it burned, the more powerless he knew Chen Fan was. No matter how much he seethed, he wouldn’t dare disobey.

Once Chen Fan wasted his cultivation, Zhu Tianzong planned to make him suffer by forcing him to watch as he tortured and killed his parents and younger brother.

He wanted Chen Fan to experience a fate worse than death and die helplessly.

“Chen Fan, I’ve already counted to two. It seems like your parents and brother’s lives aren’t that important in your eyes. Since you won’t let me live, I’ll have them buried along with me!”

With a savage grin, Zhu Tianzong raised his hand, deadly energy surging as he prepared to blast the city treasure apart.

He wanted to see if Chen Fan truly didn’t care.

Just as his strike was about to land, a streak of terrifying sword qi suddenly swept out from the treasure.

A streak of terrifying sword qi erupted from the treasure, infused with a thread of law, radiating immense power.

“What?”

This sudden turn of events caused Zhu Tianzong’s expression to change. He couldn’t react in time. This streak of sword qi penetrated his palm, sending a spray of blood into the air. Pain shot through him, forcing his grip on the treasure to falter.

Realizing his mistake, he lunged to reclaim it, but Chen Fan was faster.

Chla!

The moment the sword qi erupted from the treasure, another slash shot from Chen Fan himself, slicing through the air with deadly precision.

Zhu Tianzong’s face changed drastically. If he reached for the treasure now, the slash would slice his arm off. He immediately retracted his arm and flashed to the side.

Chen Fan used the opportunity to dart toward the city treasure and catch it. He looked at Zhu Tianzong, who had flashed aside, coldly. His terrifying killing intent erupted, sending chills down Zhu Tianzong’s spine.

With the city treasure now in Chen Fan’s hands, Zhu Tianzong knew that his lifeline was gone. A wrathful storm was approaching, and he was without a house.

Panic set in. His composure shattered. He roared angrily, “How is this possible?! Why did this happen? Speak, Chen Fan, what trick did you pull? Why, why did this happen?”

He had survived disaster, gained insight into the laws, and even glimpsed the possibility of the Legendary realm. He was flushed with success. He had believed himself invincible.

He thought he had planned everything—luring Chen Fan into a trap where he would be powerless, forced to submit.

However, Chen Fan’s strength exceeded his worst fears.

Still, it didn’t matter. He captured Chen Fan’s parents; that alone should have guaranteed his victory. No matter how capable he was, he would only be in the palm of his hands.

So why?

Why did such a terrifying streak of sword qi erupt from the city treasure?!

How could Zhu Tianzong had known that Chen Fan had left behind a streak of Lotus Heart Sword Qi and a thread of water law in Chen Wushang?

Even though it was a gift, Chen Fan could activate it when needed. That strike had been his doing, a calculated move to buy time.

Chen Fan had no intention of answering Zhu Tianzong. He looked at Zhu Tianzong coldly, like he was looking at a dead person, and slowly walked over, one step at a time. His merciless voice rang out as he said, “Zhu Tianzong, how do you wish to die?”

An invisible pressure shrouded Zhu Tianzong, making him collapse.

Chen Fan was walking toward him, but he felt like a grim reaper was approaching him.

He had never feared death. But he had never truly faced it, either.

No—he couldn’t die here. He had talent, potential, a future. He had glimpsed the power of the Legendary realm. He was destined for greatness.

He still wished to gaze down on the world like a sovereign. How could he die here?

“Don’t, Chen Fan, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Spare my life, spare me this once. I swear I’ll never cross you again. I’ll leave, disappear forever! I beg you, spare my worthless life. Cultivation isn’t easy. I only got this far after many difficulties. I don’t wish to die...”

“Hoho, spare your life?” Chen Fan smiled coldly. He mocked contemptuously, “Some lines should never be crossed. And the moment you touched my family, your fate was sealed.”

“Don’t, I don’t want to die. Chen Fan, I beg you, spare me just this once. I wouldn’t dare to do this again. I can be your slave. Wait—yes! A secret! A great secret! If you let me live, I’ll tell you something you need to know.”

“Secret?” Chen Fan’s eyes flickered. His heart was moved. He said, “What secret?”

Zhu Tianzong wasn’t stupid. He said, “A huge secret. If you swear to spare me this once, I’ll tell you this secret.”

But beneath his pleading eyes, deep within his heart, rage burned. If he lived, he would make Chen Fan regret this moment for the rest of his life. He would have his revenge.
