"Boom, boom, boom."
One by one, the bodies of powerful cultivators exploded, their souls annihilated.
In less than a minute, six people were already slain.
These were revered Supremes, and those present were at least top-tier Supremes.
Many were even at the Great Perfection of the Supreme realm.
Yet, within the Five Elements Domain, they had become mere targets for slaughter.
Chen Fan's killing speed was far too swift.
"Gather!"
Tian Wen's expression was grim. "Don't give him a chance to pick us off one by one."
She had realized that Chen Fan was targeting isolated powerhouses.
Those who were closer together were safer.
The pressure from the superposition of the Five Elements Domain and the Gravity Domain made their movements incredibly difficult.
Everyone quickly converged.
"Boom."
Another Supreme expert, from either the Eastern Continent or the Central Continent, was slain.
At this point, only forty-three Supremes remained at the scene.
They clustered together, enduring the pressure of the Five Elements Domain.
"Hum."
A surge of imperial qi slowly ascended from Tian Wen's body.
The strongest among them.
Tian Wen had been concealing her cultivation all along.
But now, she could no longer hide it.
"Everyone,"
Tian Wen's face was extremely solemn. "We have to fight for our lives. Half of you will join me to hold off the opponent, and the other half will work together to tear open the Five Elements Domain."
"..."
No one objected.
Supreme experts of Great Perfection gathered around Tian Wen.
These individuals would be responsible for engaging Chen Fan, while the others, led by the young man in embroidered robes, would attempt to break open the Five Elements Domain.
"Thirty seconds."
This was the timeframe Tian Wen had calculated.
If the Five Elements Domain could be torn open within thirty seconds, they would have a chance to escape or continue their assault.
"Alright."
As the young man in embroidered robes nodded, Tian Wen directly gave the order: "Attack."
"Boom."
Twenty top-tier cultivators, led by Tian Wen, pressed towards Chen Fan.
They unleashed their most powerful divine abilities from the outset.
At this moment, no one held back.
Meanwhile, the sixteen people led by the young man in embroidered robes unleashed their attacks simultaneously, bombarding the Five Elements Domain.
"Rumble."
The Five Elements Domain instantly vibrated.
"Kill!"
Facing the onslaught of twenty individuals, Chen Fan showed no fear.
"Roar!"
Five imperial qi dragons roared.
Gradually... the sixth, the seventh appeared simultaneously...
"How is this possible?"
Shocked, it was already too late.
"Boom."
Chen Fan had already charged into the crowd.
The seven imperial qi dragons instantly locked seven people in place.
His divine sword swung.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft."
The moment they clashed, seven heads flew off. "Explode."
Concurrently, the sword qi that had severed the heads detonated.
The exploding sword intent furiously annihilated the souls within the heads.
A killing blow.
Leaving no chance for revival.
He was too strong.
"Screech."
Tian Wen attacked, dispersing a strand of sword qi and saving one person.
But the other six were not so lucky; their souls and life force were directly destroyed by the sword qi.
"Splash, splash."
The severed heads landed, like dumplings.
"Boom."
The divine abilities unleashed by the crowd arrived.
"Five Elements!"
Chen Fan roared.
He did not dodge.
The five imperial qi dragons attached themselves to him, bracing for the incoming attacks.
"Boom, boom, boom."
The imperial qi constantly shattered and then regenerated.
There were too many of them; except for the six who were killed, all the divine abilities struck him.
Having chosen to actively kill, he had to endure this blow.
Chen Fan had already made his preparations.
He was peerlessly domineering.
"Yin Yang!"
Black and white light radiated.
The Yin Yang twin dragons returned to his body, resisting the overwhelming divine abilities alongside the Five Elements imperial qi.
Five Elements, Yin Yang.
With the combined might of both, he finally managed to withstand all the attacks.
"Heh."
Amidst the storm of destruction, a wicked smile played on Chen Fan's lips.
He stepped out of the destructive tempest, his disheveled body still encircled by seven imperial qi dragons.
Significantly weakened, but still able to fight.
It was worth it to exchange the lives of six people for his somewhat battered state.
"How is this possible?"
Tian Wen and the others were aghast.
So many attacks, and he only appeared slightly disheveled?
It was hard to imagine.
"Kill."
Chen Fan bared his teeth, blood seeping from between them.
His internal organs had been shaken and injured.
Fortunately, the Golden Silk Cicada Robe had shielded him from the fatal blows; otherwise, his body would not have withstood them.
Since he had prepared to endure the onslaught, how could he not utilize the power of the Golden Silk Cicada Robe?
"Twenty people, fourteen remain," Chen Fan licked his bloodthirsty lips.
And less than ten seconds had passed.
"Again, kill."
Chen Fan once again chose to take the initiative.
This was his unyielding style.
Passivity was not the nature of this City Lord.
"Roar!"
The seven imperial qi dragons surged forth again.
Tian Wen and the others' faces contorted with fear.
The surging aura filled them with a sense of despair.
"Boom."
Chen Fan charged into the crowd once more.
"Be careful, don't get entangled by the imperial qi," Tian Wen shouted a warning.
She herself could barely deal with one imperial qi dragon, as she only possessed one.
But others were utterly incapable of resisting.
"Screech."
Someone was once again ensnared by an imperial qi dragon.
Chen Fan's figure flashed, appearing before the opponent.
He swung his sword, and a head flew off.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft."
The scene was identical to before.
Even the number of people killed was the same.
The difference in combat power between condensing imperial qi and not was like a chasm.
Only Tian Wen managed to block one imperial qi dragon, thus avoiding death.
In two assaults, twelve people were killed.
"I'm not fighting anymore."
Zhu Nantian was surprisingly still alive.
The normally arrogant and strong man had been the first to break.
He was scared, terrified.
He turned and fled.
"Boom."
A pillar of flame descended.
"Get lost!"
Zhu Nantian was also a cultivator of fire.
He unleashed a fire fist, meeting the pillar of flame.
"Boom."
The two flames collided, but unfortunately, they were not of the same origin.
Zhu Nantian's fire fist was directly shattered.
The pillar of flame enveloped Zhu Nantian, burning fiercely and scorching his body.
"Ah..."
His screams echoed through the heavens and earth.
It was excruciating.
"Why? I'm also fire attribute, how can your fire harm me?" Zhu Nantian roared in confusion.
"..."
There was no answer.
Only the crackling sound of flames burning.
"Get lost!"
Zhu Nantian unleashed the spiritual energy within his body with all his might, finally expelling the power of the fire pillar.
However...
"Boom."
An even more colossal pillar of flame descended.
A "boom" resounded.
Zhu Nantian's body was directly pulverized by the flame.
As soon as his soul appeared, it was incinerated.
Thus, of the twenty-person team, only seven remained.
Silence.
An eerie silence.
Other than the crackling of flames, there was no other sound.
Tian Wen and the others stood frozen, staring at Chen Fan in horror.
In the distance, the young man in embroidered robes and his group, who were attacking the Five Elements Domain, were also stunned by this scene; they had forgotten to even continue their assault.
"Heh heh."
At this moment, Chen Fan was laughing.
A smile reappeared on his face, his bloodthirsty pupils sweeping across everyone.
"Continue?" he inquired.
"..."
Still silent.
Everyone had been thoroughly terrified by what they had just witnessed.
He was too powerful.
Seven imperial qi dragons, and a cultivator who could step into the Imperial Dao realm at any moment.
A suffocating pressure began to spread and diffuse.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo."
Chen Fan was also gasping for breath.
His exhaustion was immense.
