Free Web NovelChapter 1782: Chapter 1649: A Death Not Worth Mourning
"Roar!"
Ye Fan let out a fierce roar, scattering the Heavenly Thunder, and took a step forward, appearing beside the Thunder Cage. He grabbed the cage and crushed it, dragging Ma Takong out.
At this moment, Ma Takong was on the brink of death. Although his body was exceedingly terrifying, within the Thunder Cage deliberately controlled by Ye Fan, he was still struck repeatedly by lightning to the brink of being cooked!
"Pfft!"
Ye Fan stretched out his arms with a long howl, forcibly tearing Ma Takong’s arms off!
"Ah..."
The intense pain brought Ma Takong back from his semi-conscious state. Looking at Ye Fan’s ferociously terrifying face, he couldn’t help but stagger back continuously!
"You..."
Ma Takong was utterly terrified. From Ye Fan’s eyes, he saw an endless Blood Sea and a murderous intent as intense as to be unbreakable.
"Blood debts must be paid in blood. You’re not the first, nor will you be the last!!"
Ye Fan roared, his eyes red as blood, with a thick murderous aura spreading, throwing Ma Takong into endless fear.
"Pfft!"
Ignoring the blood splattered all over him, Ye Fan punched through Ma Takong’s chest directly, letting the Power of Destruction rage inside him!
"Ah..."
Ma Takong screamed and then tried to use the last of his Divine Power, wanting to self-destruct his Holy Embryo and bring Ye Fan down with him.
The idea was rich, the reality was harsh.
Just as Ma Takong was thinking of perishing together, he suddenly found in horror that he couldn’t sense his Holy Embryo anymore—the connection between him and his Holy Embryo was forcibly severed by Ye Fan!
He couldn’t even commit suicide, leaving Ma Takong in complete despair and deeply shocked.
This opponent right in front of him was obviously only at the Early Lord Realm, so why was his strength so overwhelming? Even he, a Three-star Demon, was no match.
More importantly, Ye Fan was not afraid of the Heavenly Thunder’s strike and could even control it; he was simply the demon among demons.
"You have no chance!"
Ye Fan’s cold voice sounded in Ma Takong’s ears, leaving his heart cold, and his whole body felt as if his blood had frozen.
"Die!"
Ye Fan let out a sad howl, tearing Ma Takong into pieces, even erasing his Divine Soul completely.
"Avenge and redress grievances!"
The human cultivator shouted together, their voices like thunder, crossing the River of Elements, transmitting into the Demon Clan’s camp on the other side, leaving many Demon Clan cultivators in silence.
Especially the Black Flood Dragon King’s tribe, they lowered their heads!
The massacre in Xuanwu State was caused by him and a few belligerent royal family members. The humans would certainly not spare them for vengeance.
If the demon clan loses in this battle, it will be a significant blow to the entire demon clan’s future!
The battlefield was utterly silent, as if even the air had frozen, and time had stopped.
Ye Fan stood bathed in blood like an Asura Killing God, his black long hair drenched with blood, and an evil aura spread out!
"Ye Fan..."
In the crowd, Yaling’s beautiful eyes flickered with brilliance, yet no one knew what she was thinking at that moment.
"Ye... Ye Zi... Thank you!"
Hu Fei, Shi Ye, Wenren Jing, Han Sandong, and others were overwhelmed with excitement, hugging each other with tears streaming down their faces.
Some forces and individuals who once opposed Ye Fan wore complex expressions. After this battle, Ye Fan would undoubtedly become a hero for the entire Human Race. How should they face him?
As for those sects and Holy Lands with no interaction with Ye Fan, they remained calm. The better Ye Fan’s battle record, the more beneficial it was for the entire Human Race.
Currently, it was a tumultuous time. The rise of such a strong young man in the Human Race was not a bad thing at all.
Now the Human Race was in high spirits, whereas the Demon Clan’s morale suffered greatly. Even the elite king Ma Takong with unrivaled physical strength from the Heavenly Horse Clan was torn to pieces by Ye Fan. Who could possess a stronger body?
"I refuse to believe his physical body is stronger than our demon clan. If the Wheel of Destiny chooses me this time, I will definitely tear him into pieces to avenge my fallen brothers!"
A young royal demon king among the demon clan said with a grim face.
"That’s right, he must have used some kind of Forbidden Secret Technique to temporarily enhance his physical body’s strength. Otherwise, he could never be Ma Takong’s opponent!"
Other young royal demon kings echoed the sentiment, believing that it was impossible for Ye Fan’s physical body to surpass their demon clan, which defied common sense.
"You must be cautious; this young human is strange. There seems to be a mysterious and terrifying power hidden within him that must not be underestimated!"
```
An elder of the Demon Clan warned.
"What exactly is this mysterious power?"
A young king of the Demon Clan inquired.
The elder narrowed his eyes slightly, emitting a gleam as he scrutinized Ye Fan for a long time before speaking uncertainly, "It somewhat resembles the power of thunder, but not completely. It seems as if a layer of mist shrouds him, making it unclear!"
"Hiss~"
Many Demon Clan cultivators couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing this. The power of thunder is the most violent and most masculine energy under the heavens. Apart from the Thunder Venerable, no one else can wield it. Could this young human be the successor of the Thunder Venerable?
This speculation made many young cultivators of the Demon Clan feel a vague unease. The Thunder Venerable was too powerful; although not a Great Emperor, his true combat power wasn’t much different from that of a Great Emperor.
If Ye Fan were the successor of the Thunder Venerable, then it would explain his ability to control heavenly thunder. The Thunder Venerable was best at controlling the Heavenly Tribulation; although heavenly thunder is not the Heavenly Tribulation, in essence, they are the same.
This time, the Demon Clan even omitted the act of collecting the corpse, as there was nothing left to collect. Ma Takong’s body was completely torn apart by Ye Fan, perfect for feeding to dogs.
The Heavenly Horse Clan was filled with lamentations. Ma Takong was the elite king of their clan, their future hope, and now he had died on the Holy War Platform, leaving no corpse behind.
This outcome infuriated the Heavenly Horse Clan to the extreme, causing them to speak out and angrily denounce Ye Fan’s cruelty and bloodthirstiness!
"Cruel? Is that what you call it?" Ye Fan coldly glanced at the Heavenly Horse Clan, his icy gaze causing many Demon Clan cultivators to feel a bone-chilling coldness.
"Your people died, and now you speak of cruelty and bloodthirstiness. So whom should the Xuanwu Sect’s thousands of lives go to for justice? Whom should the millions of innocent people in the Xuanwu State who were killed go to for justice?"
Ye Fan’s voice was sonorous and powerful, like rolling heavenly thunder, echoing across the entire border line.
"Those ordinary people are nothing more than ants, insignificant even in death!"
After a brief silence, someone from the Demon Clan responded.
"Is that so? Then in my eyes, your younger generations are nothing more than ants, insignificant even in death!"
Ye Fan forcefully retorted, using their own logic against them, immediately igniting the rage of many Demon Clan cultivators.
"Well said! If our ordinary humans are ants, then those Xuan Beasts of your Demon Clan are also ants." Human cultivators loudly countered, their voices thundering.
Many cultivators had witnessed the tragedy of Xuanwu State firsthand, an entire state, millions of ordinary civilians, tens of thousands of cultivators, all killed, an enmity that cannot go unavenged.
When the hare dies, the fox grieves — every creature mourns its kind!
These human cultivators may not be from Xuanwu State, but they are all of the Human Race, and at this moment, they stand united against a common enemy!
For a moment, the people of the Human Race were fervent, and even some cautious and prudent heroic lords spoke out, condemning the Demon Clan for disregarding the agreement and brazenly initiating war, slaughtering our human civilians.
On the Demon Clan side, apart from some belligerent members of the Imperial Family who refuted, the elder Demon Clan strong people remained silent.
Ultimately, this earthly tragedy was caused by their Demon Clan, and they bear undeniable responsibility!
Although the incident was mainly the doing of the Black Flood Dragon King and several other warlike demon kings, they still shared the responsibility.
"Enough, this matter has already occurred, and we of the Demon Clan have also paid a corresponding price. Let’s move on!" Chi Lin finally spoke after a long silence.
His words carried significant weight, as he currently governs the entire Demon Clan. If pushed too far, should he lead the entire Demon Clan into a war against humanity, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, some of the older strong figures of the Human Race had an underlying worry regarding those human-shaped creatures that once appeared in the ruins of the Immortal Mansion, along with the numerous skeletal remains of human-shaped creatures found in the spirit stone mine area of the Immortal Academy.
All of this hints that human-shaped creatures are not extinct. They must still exist, hidden somewhere in the vast universe.
Should human-shaped creatures reappear, that would mark the true advent of a dark era, and neither the Demon Clan nor the Human Race would escape the clutches of these human-shaped creatures.
With this hidden concern in mind, the Human Race dared not take things to the extreme, because if a full-scale war were to break out between the Human Race and the Demon Clan, it would result in immense depletion for both.
If, at such a time, human-shaped creatures were to suddenly descend, then all life on this world would likely face extinction.
"Fine, then let’s continue the competition!"
Elder Lin spoke to Chi Lin on behalf of the entire Human Race.
The wheel of destiny began to spin, selecting an opponent for Ye Fan.
Such are the rules: as long as Ye Fan doesn’t voluntarily step down, he can continue fighting until no one from the Demon Clan dares to challenge him.
"Hiss!"
A beam of light descended from the wheel of destiny, landing on someone amidst the young kings of the Demon Clan. Instantly, a layer of white light surfaced on him.
This person had a burly figure, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, with no characteristic features of the Demon Clan, indistinguishable from humans, yet exuding a presence unique to the Demon Clan, along with terrifying fluctuations.
"Prince Long Xiang!"
The Demon Clan cultivators were stirred with excitement, not expecting the wheel of destiny to select the prince from the Long Xiang Imperial Family, suggesting that fortune was on their side this time.
