Seeing Gai Youdi trying to recruit him, Chen Fan smiled and said, Oh? So you dont want to take revenge for all the alliance members I killed?

Hoho, well be family if you join my Eclipse Alliance. Naturally, this matter will be dropped. Gai Youdi said rightfully, Besides, only the living hold value. Who would fight for justice on behalf of the worthless dead?

Clap, clap, clap.

Chen Fan clapped his hands and smiled. Well said.

So, I take it that Dao brother is willing to join my Eclipse Alliance?

Gai Youdi remained calm and composed from start to end. Even though Chen Fan had just defeated the Boy of Three Wonders and the arched-eyebrow youth had fallen easily, his expression never changed, as if everything was within his control.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, Not interested. Youre inviting me because you recognize my strengths as valuable. The moment I lose that valueor worse, if Im killed, youd treat me just as you do now, stepping on my corpse to lure others in. Ive no interest in such an alliance. Its not worthy of me.

As soon as those words came out, Gai Youdis face immediately sank. Killing intent flickered in his eyes.

The Boy of Three Wonders, the arched-eyebrow youth, and other members of the Eclipse Alliance also let their gazes flicker. Though theyd felt uneasy about Gai Youdis invitation, Chen Fans strength had at least made him qualified to join.

Now, however, his words cut deep, shaking even their convictions.

Chen Fan was right. Gai Youdi could forget all past grudges because Chen Fan was strong. As long as he joined, even killing Pang Gantian and the others could be forgiven.

In an organization that placed self-interest above all else, who could say they wouldnt suffer the same fate one day?

They had joined the Eclipse Alliance because it was a powerful organization. By joining forces with them, they would have an absolute advantage when searching for treasures in the Immortal Conferral Ancient Realm, and their safety would be guaranteed.

Yet now, that security seemed like an illusion.

In Gai Youdis eyes, value was the only measure. Those without it could be discarded at any moment, just like Pang Gantian and the others.

Hmph, you sharp-tongued brat, trying to sow discord within my alliance? How dare you!

Sensing the unease in his men, Gai Youdis fury surged. What he thought was a clever move had backfired. Chen Fan had rejected him outright, with just a few sharp words, he had shaken the faith of the Boy of Three Wonders and the rest, planting division within the Alliance. Unforgivable.

What, did I strike a nerve? Is that why youre angry? Chen Fan sneered coldly.

Hmph, Ive no interest in trading words with you. Since you refuse to be a friend, youll be treated as an enemy. Pay for the five lives you took! Do it, slaughter him!

Gai Youdi struck before his voice faded.

His aura suddenly erupted violently like a flood breaking through a dyke, manifesting an extremely dazzling phenomenon behind him.

Although he was also in the half-immortal realm, he was much stronger than the Boy of Three Wonders and the arched-eyebrow youth.

If Ye Kuang and the Boy of Three Wonders had only converted ten percent of their true primeval, barely first-stage half-immortal, Gai Youdi, having refined thirty percent, stood at the third stage.

In both raw power and mastery of laws, he was more than a single level above them.

So, heaven and earth rumbled as soon as he made a move. His law powers roared, turning into a terrifying palm seal. Law threads wove across it, erupting with an aura so terrifying it seemed ready to annihilate everything as it descended upon Chen Fan.

Yet Chen Fan showed not a trace of fear. His aura soared in an instant. His robust true primeval formed a tidal wave behind him, pouring into his fist as he hurled it forward.

Get lost!

Thump!

The punch seemed to destroy everything.

Though law power stood above true primevala single strand worth a hundredChen Fans true primeval was robust and pure, having undergone repeated refinement under the Heaven and Earth Furnace. It lacked the raw might of law power, yet in sheer density and quality, it was nearly its equal.

The punch erupted like a raging river, colliding head-on with Gai Youdis palm seal. Power clashed, cancelling one another out before tilting in Chen Fans favor, shattering Gai Youdis law strike in a burst of energy.

How is this possible? How could you possibly be my match?

Gai Youdi staggered three steps back, his once-absolute confidence cracking into raw disbelief.

From the start, he had been certain the situation lay in his grasp. Even when Chen Fan had crushed the two first-stage half-immortals, his calm never faltered, for he trusted his third-stage cultivation to smother any surprise.

However, he realized he had still underestimated Chen Fan.

Whats there to be surprised about? Did you think you could control the situation because of your third-stage cultivation? Ridiculous! Chen Fan mocked. With that, his figure blurred, instead of lunging at Gai Youdi, he darted straight toward the others.

Although he wasnt afraid of Gai Youdi, defeating him would still require effort, especially considering the presence of dozens of Eclipse Alliance members here. If they all joined forces, the outcome could turn dangerous.

Its time to end this!

Chen Fan clasped his hand, condensing a flaming law saber in his hand.

This was a very powerful immortal art, known as the Burning Wood Saber Mantra, which his master, Heavenly Punishment Elder, had given to Chen Fan as a gift for his apprenticeship.

Under the guidance of the Heavenly Punishment Elder, Chen Fan had already achieved a minor mastery of the immortal art. Today, he would use these people to test his skills.

Chla!

Chen Fan rushed toward the Void Immortals like he was sweeping through an army. The flaming saber sliced through the air, detonating with explosive force. Several peak Void Immortal experts failed to dodge in time and were cleaved in half.

Some of them dodged fast enough, but were still caught by the saber qi and screamed out loud, spewing fresh blood.

Ahhh…

Chen Fan followed up instantly with a second slash.

Gai Youdis eyes nearly popped out in anger, and he roared furiously, Stop!

However, Chen Fan didnt stop. The second flaming saber swept through the injured, leaving them no chance to flee, obliterating them one after another.

In just a few breaths, half of the dozens of Eclipse Alliance experts lay deada massacre. To Chen Fan, they were nothing more than paper tigers, easily torn apart.
