Chapter 1272 The Fierce Tiger Supreme Is Wounded
"I will kill you."
The Fierce Tiger Supreme roared, his physical body expanding infinitely.
With a 'boom,' he crushed the sky.
The void shattered, suppressing Chen Fan: "I want you dead..."
By death, he meant to crush and kill him madly.
This was the domain of the Fierce Tiger Supreme; within his domain, heaven and earth were under his control.
He was extremely confident.
"Heh heh."
However, all his confidence and pride were met with a cold laugh.
This cold laugh was filled with disdain.
Clang!
The Ten-Faced Sky-Cloud Sword radiated light.
The sword light grew increasingly radiant.
Rules emerged and settled upon the long sword.
"This sword, time."
Chiz!
The sword, unsheathed.
Within the Fierce Tiger's domain, the flow of time began to reverse.
The reversal was not significant, but it was enough.
Time rewound to a few seconds prior.
It rewound to... before the Supreme's domain had even appeared.
The sword struck, the domain shattered.
Chen Fan drew his sword again.
"This sword, space."
Chen Fan was supremely confident.
With a single strike, it pierced through the spatial obstruction and appeared at the Fierce Tiger Supreme's forehead.
Puff.
The sword tip pierced the Fierce Tiger Supreme's brow.
Drip, drip...
Blood dripped.
"How... is it possible..." He couldn't believe it.
Yes, it was unbelievable.
Before he could recover from the shock of time reversal, he was pierced through the brow with a sword.
Sword energy erupted, shredding the Fierce Tiger Supreme's soul.
Supremes are also beings; their souls annihilating means death.
What if he could regenerate from a drop of blood?
Without the soul's guidance, would the physical body automatically regenerate from a drop of blood?
The Fierce Tiger Supreme perished.
"Bang."
In the sky, a rule emerged.
Upon the rule, a colossal phantom of a fierce tiger was collapsing.
Supremes could imprint their figures onto the Great Dao of rules; the more Dao they occupied, the stronger they became.
But now, it was all gone.
The Fierce Tiger Supreme had perished.
After death, the Fierce Tiger Supreme's true body emerged.
Bang.
His physical body fell from the sky.
Chen Fan cupped his hands and caught the massive body, simultaneously shouting, "Rescue them."
"Boom."
Powerful auras erupted.
The auras spread; they were from the powerhouses of the Eastern Region, charging towards the foot of Mount Arl.
Roars echoed, and a large number of demonic beasts were slain.
The Qin family army charged towards the imprisoned humans and shouted, "The Wenlan City army is here to rescue you. Everyone, follow me."
There were indeed many people.
All around lay piles of white bones.
The survivors wept loudly, excitedly emerging from their confinement.
The Qin family army protected the area, shielding the group as they fled.
The remaining powerhouses, excluding Chen Fan, were all furiously slaughtering the demonic beasts near Mount Arl.
Chen Fan remained still, looking towards another forbidden area.
Although it was far away, his gaze seemed to penetrate the spatial barriers and meet the eyes of a massive snake coiled around the entire mountain.
That snake was too enormous.
Its body wrapped around the entire mountain.
Chen Fan did not attack; he was merely deterring the snake, hoping it would not intervene.
"Human."
The snake's pupils were cold: "You are provoking the demon race."
Demonic beasts also referred to themselves as the demon race.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan chuckled coldly: "You are also provoking the human race. Leave ordinary humans alone. If you have a problem, come at me."
"Hmph."
The only response was the snake's cold snort: "This is the last time. If you dare to kill another demon supreme, I will kill you."
The great snake was powerful, much stronger than the Fierce Tiger.
But Chen Fan was unafraid, staring coldly: "Can you?"
Can you?
He didn't know...
However, another voice entered Chen Fan's ears: "Human, leave this place."
"Roar."
A world-shattering roar: "Get out..."
Powerful auras shook heaven and earth, spreading towards them.
A total of five demon supremes spoke, warning Chen Fan.
If he dared to kill another demon supreme, they would join forces and charge into Wenlan City.
"..."
Threatened by five demon supremes, Chen Fan fell silent.
With five of them, he could only retreat.
"Fine."
Chen Fan turned to leave.
However, before he left, he issued a warning: "As long as supremes do not act, those below the supreme level can be killed at will."
This was to set a rule.
As long as the supremes did not act, humans and demonic beasts could fight freely.
"As you wish."
The snake closed its eyes.
Under the same realm, humans were not a match for demonic beasts.
Although demonic beasts lacked high intelligence, they possessed innate physical advantages.
"Go."
Chen Fan, leading the rescued individuals, departed quickly.
...
This time, Chen Fan rescued hundreds of thousands of people.
A dense crowd, stretching as far as the eye could see.
"The City Lord is invincible..."
Chen Fan, who had taken the initiative to rescue them, received cheers from everyone.
Chen Fan nodded and said again, "Everyone, I have made a rule with the demon beast supremes; they will not act easily. Now... it is your turn. Go kill the demonic beasts. Their bodies are treasures that can strengthen your cultivation."
"Our people, they are demons. This is a racial war, there is no retreat. Those who can fight, those who dare to fight... can kill to their heart's content."
"Yes."
The first to respond was the Qin family army.
This army had grown through slaughter.
...
Chen Fan stayed in the manor for a day when Madam Howard arrived.
"City Lord."
Madam Howard stepped forward to pay her respects: "The Southern Region is gone; I can only seek refuge with the City Lord."
"As you wish."
Chen Fan didn't care about such things: "As long as it doesn't interfere with the lives of ordinary people."
"Naturally."
Madam Howard smiled charmingly and sat down before Chen Fan, asking with a smile, "What are the City Lord's plans for the future?"
"What plans?"
"Humans and demons, will they coexist harmoniously, or continue to be enemies?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "I don't like making decisions. I will see what the people below do. If they want to fight, I can help. If they don't fight, I can't do anything."
In fact, he was more inclined towards conflict.
Humans and demons could coexist, but one must be dominant.
"..."
Madam Howard thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Then, is the City Lord preparing to enter the Southern Region for a battle?"
Chen Fan glanced at Madam Howard and smiled.
The young woman still possessed a captivating charm.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "We'll see. My goal is not here."
"...The Eight Ancient Demon Generals?" Madam Howard knew what Chen Fan was interested in.
"Mm."
He hadn't hidden this fact since obtaining the stone tablet from Madam Howard.
"However, the supreme demonic beasts that have appeared so far do not seem to include the Eight Ancient Demon Generals," Madam Howard said.
"Yes."
Chen Fan sighed.
When the two worlds overlapped, he had specifically stopped in the air to observe the falling demonic beasts.
From beginning to end, he had not found any trace of the Eight Ancient Demon Generals.
Chen Fan was getting anxious.
Were the Eight Ancient Demon Generals not sealed behind the spatial gate? Then where would he find the crown?
The spatial gate had opened, but the objective had not been achieved.
He was extremely vexed.
Would he be stuck dealing with these trivial matters forever?
"I think it's time for us to meet," Madam Howard suddenly said.
"Hm?"
Chen Fan was confused, what did she mean.
"The City Lord can meet the greatest trump card of my demon beast army. I believe... that person can give you some answers," Madam Howard said.
