"Hum."
Space warped.
Figures appeared beside the heavily wounded Lord of the Five Elements.
"You..."
The Lord of the Five Elements saw Qian Si, but her aura seemed different from before.
Not Qian Si?
He reacted, his gaze slowly turning to horror: "You are... the Evil Lord?"
The Lord of the Five Elements knew of the Evil Lord's existence but had never met him.
This was his first time, and he recognized him at a glance.
It had to be.
That ubiquitous evil aura, the ferocious gaze sweeping over him, made the Lord of the Five Elements tense up.
His gaze swept over Chen Fan, the Dragon King, the Sword Master, Ping Xi...
And behind them, there were more powerhouses.
The Lord of the Five Elements' expression immediately turned grim, and he said in a deep voice, "Did you destroy the Five Elements Realm? Did you kill Qian Si?"
"Senior Five Elements."
Chen Fan spoke first.
Everyone standing there deferred to Chen Fan.
This deference was partly due to his strength, but more so due to their trust in his wisdom.
There were stronger individuals than him, like the Evil Lord and Ping Xi.
Ping Xi's thoughts... were not good at thinking.
As for the Evil Lord, he was even more so; his life was in Chen Fan's hands. Moreover, he was unwilling to make decisions.
Given this situation, only Chen Fan could speak.
"City Lord Chen."
The Lord of the Five Elements' brows were furrowed.
He said in a deep voice, "It's one thing for you to destroy Qian Si and the Five Elements Realm, but you actually killed Qian Si. Do you know what kind of person you have offended?"
"Oh?"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "Would Senior Five Elements care to elaborate?"
*Whoosh.*
The Lord of the Five Elements took a deep breath.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "That name cannot be mentioned lightly, or it will be sensed. City Lord Chen, just know that you have offended someone you cannot afford to offend. That person will definitely sense Qian Si's death and will come looking for you."
He added, "I can only say this much. Since the Ninth Land has been taken by City Lord Chen, it is yours. I shall take my leave now."
The Lord of the Five Elements turned to leave.
Chen Fan: "???"
Leave?
Where were you going?
*Chix.*
The Dragon King blocked the Lord of the Five Elements' path, killing intent swirling in his eyes.
The cold gaze made the Lord of the Five Elements' heart skip a beat. He turned back to Chen Fan, "What does City Lord Chen mean by this?"
Chen Fan shrugged, indicating that this was all the Dragon King's idea.
The Lord of the Five Elements withdrew his gaze and looked at the Dragon King, his eyes instantly turning dangerous. "Are you going to stop me from leaving?"
"No—"
The Dragon King's voice was icy.
"Then move aside."
"I'm going to slaughter you..."
The scene of billions of Chaotic Beasts being tortured to death, the Dragon King would never forget.
He had made a solemn vow to kill the Lord of the Five Elements to avenge his fallen kin.
He had waited for a year, a full year, always waiting for the Lord of the Five Elements' return. Now that he had finally arrived, how could he let him leave?
"Insolent."
The Lord of the Five Elements seemed not to grasp the situation or perhaps didn't care, and immediately roared.
"A mere beast dares to roar at me."
The Lord of the Five Elements' gaze turned dangerous. "A mere beast is just food. Chaos itself left you a sliver of life. You should be grateful, yet you dare to be so presumptuous. You are courting death."
With that, the Lord of the Five Elements turned and looked at Chen Fan.
He asked in a deep voice, "Is this how City Lord Chen disciplines his servants? Perhaps I should teach these beasts a lesson on behalf of City Lord Chen today."
Chen Fan: "..."
He didn't know what to say.
After a long moment, he looked at the Lord of the Five Elements with an unreadable expression. "Who told you the Dragon King was my servant?"
"Tch."
The Lord of the Five Elements' words were filled with deep contempt for Chaotic Beasts. "Beasts, this is their ultimate destiny."
The Dragon King opposite him was trembling with rage.
Behind him, Eighth-rank Chaotic Beasts' killing intent was almost overflowing.
If looks could kill, the Dragon King would have been a corpse by now.
"Kill."
The Dragon King moved. "All Chaotic clan members, attack with me. City Lord Chen, please just watch. After repeatedly insulting my Chaotic clan, today... this King will personally lop off his dog's head."
"Kill."
From behind, the Chaotic Beasts who had been waiting impatiently all attacked.
The Chaotic clan was very powerful now, with nearly a hundred Emperor realm cultivators.
Continuous battles had led to the complete rise of these Chaotic Beasts.
Led by the Dragon King, everyone went berserk.
"Roar."
The Dragon King directly shook his Dao Spirit.
Chaos vibrated, and ubiquitous pressure squeezed towards the Lord of the Five Elements.
*Dodo.*
The Chaotic Demon Butterfly flapped its wings.
Above its head, a golden butterfly appeared. The Chaotic Demon Butterfly also unleashed its Dao Spirit.
It was weak, only at the first rank, but it was still a testament to its innate talent.
Currently, besides the Dragon King, only the Chaotic Demon Butterfly had condensed a Dao Spirit among the Chaotic clan.
This showed how difficult it was to gather spiritual essence.
*Rumble.*
The two joined forces to suppress the Lord of the Five Elements.
The Phoenix Lord, along with other Chaotic Beasts, fiercely attacked the Lord of the Five Elements.
"Insolent."
The Lord of the Five Elements was still maintaining his noble and elegant demeanor.
But his actions did not stop.
*Boom.*
The Five Elements Great Stars appeared, suppressing attacks from all directions.
*Rumble.*
As soon as the two sides clashed, the battle turned chaotic.
Chaotic Beasts charged forward fearlessly, even if they were struck down by the Lord of the Five Elements, they would still inflict some damage.
"Five Elements Rotation."
*Hum.*
Five Great Stars revolved around the Lord of the Five Elements' body.
An absolute domain.
Within the coverage of the Great Stars, the Lord of the Five Elements stood in an invincible position.
...
"Should we help?" Old Demon Chu was itching for a fight.
This fellow's hands got itchy whenever he saw a fight.
Chen Fan glanced at him and rolled his eyes. "Just watch. If the Chaotic clan is losing, then we'll intervene."
"Alright."
Old Demon Chu was a little disappointed.
Not being allowed to fight was really annoying.
Chen Fan was also helpless... this guy was too warlike.
The Sword Master and the Lord of the Yin Yang also did not order an intervention.
Since the Dragon King had said he would personally fight the Lord of the Five Elements, they couldn't just step in.
*Rumble.*
The heavily wounded Lord of the Five Elements, all by himself, fought the entire Chaotic clan.
Yet, he was only at a slight disadvantage. The Five Elements Dao Spirit appeared, clashing head-on with the Dao Spirits of the Dragon King and the Chaotic Demon Butterfly.
"Explode for me..."
The Lord of the Five Elements was getting desperate.
At a certain moment, he directly detonated the five Great Stars orbiting his body.
"Sigh."
Chen Fan sighed. "This guy is going all out... no, wait..."
*Clang.*
Before Chen Fan could finish speaking, a silver light flashed.
His figure rapidly disappeared from his original position.
At the same time, the Lord of the Yin Yang and the Evil Lord also sensed it and moved quickly.
The Sword Master was the last to sense it but also acted in time.
*Boom.*
The attacks of the four all landed on the barrier of the Ninth Land.
With a resounding roar, the barrier of the Ninth Land was directly shattered, and then... a light of Five Elements flashed, and it disappeared from its original position.
"He escaped. A pity," the Sword Master said with regret.
"Heh."
Only Chen Fan sneered. "This guy deliberately provoked the Dragon King from the very beginning. He probably already had this in mind."
