Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 337 - Lake Dyed Blood Red

Chen Fan squinted slightly. He hadn’t expected the lake to be so dangerous, teeming with terrifying demon beasts like ancient piranhas.

It was no surprise that the waters below churned with blood; those who had ventured down earlier must have fallen prey to the ancient piranhas, meeting a gruesome fate.

“The Nebulous Mysterious Realm hadn’t appeared in the world for countless years. Who knows how many ancient piranhas are in this lake? If a Core Formation realm piranha king emerged, it would spell disaster. No one would stand a chance against it," Chen Fan muttered grimly, but he pressed on without faltering, descending deeper into the depths.

He carefully continued, slowing his descent. Two factors made caution necessary: the uncertainty of the ancient piranhas' numbers and the possibility of encountering a Core Formation realm piranha king.

He spread his senses, and he would strike the moment his senses caught something nearby, whether it be an ancient piranha or another threat.

Chen Fan focused his qi to his eyes to the best of his abilities, extending his sight to see further.

These ancient piranhas had adapted to their environment, resembling swift shuttles effortlessly slicing through the water with minimal resistance, their speed akin to lightning.

With a single flick of their tails, the ancient piranhas could cover thirty to forty meters. They were as fast as light or electricity.

So, Chen Fan had to focus on extending his vision. He could now see sixty to seventy meters away.

He looked down, and the area below was in chaos.

Countless ancient piranhas were crazily attacking the groups below. The crushing noises from their bites sent shivers down the people’s spines.

When the piranhas attacked the weaker martial artists, their protective primeval force provided as much resistance as wet paper; despite being muffled by the water, their miserable screams still went far. The frenzied piranhas, fueled by the scent of fresh blood, relentlessly tore into flesh and sinew, creating a harrowing spectacle.

The once-clear rainbow lake water gradually turned red as many people met their miserable ends. It was a lake of crimson now with the unmistakable stench of blood everywhere.

As if he had eyes at the back of his head, Chen Fan suddenly stabbed out behind him, impaling an ancient piranha precisely.

Chi!

The lake was too big. The crowd had dived from different locations, but ancient piranhas were everywhere, attacking from all directions.

Chen Fan stabbed with his iron spear repeatedly, parting the water currents. With every thrust, he would claim the life of an ancient piranha.

The lower he descended, the more ancient piranhas he came across. Their strengths also grew increasingly stronger.

Some people tried to lure the calamity toward Chen Fan by swimming toward him, bringing a big group of savage and terrifying ancient piranhas behind them.

Chen Fan stabbed out without hesitation, killing them all.

Here, he did not need compassion, especially when the other party wanted to harm him.

He couldn’t afford to be soft. “This lake is really deep.”

Chen Fan continued downwards.

Relying on his overwhelming strength, Chen Fan killed each ancient piranha with a single, decisive blow, quickly beating the others locked in fierce combat with the relentless predators.

Chen Fan noticed that to his left, the currents were quite fierce and carried intense cultivation fluctuations.

“Hong Qianjun and the others are ahead. Hmm, there are so many ancient piranhas surrounding and attacking them. Some of those piranhas are even in the Illusory Core realm.”

Hong Qianjun and the others were in an intense battle with a large group of ancient piranhas.

A massive hundred-foot-long ancient piranha stood out among the others. It was incredibly ferocious, like a huge beast; its teeth were three feet long. When it opened its mouth wide, it sent chills down people’s spines.

This hundred-foot-long ancient piranha was in the Illusory Core realm.

Chen Fan looked to his right. Xin Wuming was moving very fast.

“That’s Xin Wuming over here, heh, how strong of him. Everywhere his sword light passes through, no ancient piranha is left. Even Illusory Core realm ancient piranhas died in a single sword.”

Streaks of sword light swept across the lake, killing all the piranhas near Xin Wuming.

Suddenly, the lake waters fluctuated violently, like a huge undercurrent was sweeping toward Chen Fan.

Whoosh!

Chen Fan saw that within the undercurrent was another hundred-foot-long ancient piranha. It was grinding its steel-like teeth, flashing with a cold glint, and rushing towards him.

That wide-open mouth could swallow him whole.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes; an Illusory Core realm piranha was targeting him.

“Heh, an Illusory Core realm ancient piranha!”

Even so, he wasn’t afraid at all.

He rubbed his palms together, and his primeval force stirred. With a spiraling force, the iron spear parted the water current at once and flew toward that terrifying ancient piranha.

Clang!

That piranha’s bite was extraordinary. It directly caught the iron spear, producing sparks in the water.

“It could block my devastating thrust? Such hard and sharp teeth. Amazing!”

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered, and he pulled back his arm, withdrawing the still iron spear between the piranha’s teeth.

He knew his attacks only had eighty percent of his strength here because of the water resistance. Had he been on land, that fish would have died.

The water resistance weakened the force of his devastating thrust.

“Hmph.” Chen Fan snorted coldly. He approached the ancient piranha and raised his arm, adding variations to his attacks. A poof rang out as he stabbed through the eye of the ancient piranha.

Splash!

The ancient piranha was enraged.

It whipped its tail at Chen Fan violently, setting off a monstrous wave that made Chen Fan lose his balance, swept away by the water current.

“Steady for me!”

Chen Fan unleashed his cultivation and stomped down. The churning water current calmed down. With another thrust of his spear, an immense force erupted and stabbed the ancient piranha.

The ancient piranha let out a cry.

“Kiki!”

Soon, another Illusory Core realm ancient piranha and a group of Yuanfu realm ancient piranhas swam over and surrounded Chen Fan.

A short distance away, Qiu Beihai was also locked in battle with a group of ancient piranhas.

“Little bastard, it’s best if you end up in the fish bellies.”

However, he did not encounter any ancient piranhas in the Illusory Core realm, so it was very easy for him. Seeing Chen Fan surrounded by two Illusory Core realms and a group of ordinary ancient piranhas, he revealed a savage smile.

“Damn it, calling for helpers now, huh? You think it’ll work? Die!”

Chen Fan suddenly exerted his strength, rolling up a whirlpool and stabbing into an Illusory Core realm ancient piranha’s head, killing it.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

However, this did not scare away the other ancient piranhas. They continued biting at Chen Fan ferociously, wanting to gnaw at his flesh and reducing him into a skeleton.
