Chapter 686 - Peerless Peak
It was too terrifying!
Kang Hong, a Heavenly Star realm expert, had his arm severed in a flash, completely powerless to resist. Exactly how powerful was this green-clothed man known as Jian Qi?
The crowd couldn’t sense Jian Qi’s cultivation from his aura. He appeared ordinary, yet slicing off a Heavenly Star realm expert’s arm with a casual strike was far beyond a regular person’s means.
Chen Fan’s irises also contracted, flickering with interest as he studied Jian Qi.
He knew that Jian Qi should be a pure sword cultivator who’d reached a level where his sword moved with his thoughts. He could use anything in heaven and earth as a sword, transforming the intangible into reality.
“Ahhh, Jian Qi, how dare you chop off my arm!” Kang Hong let out an angry roar, his voice echoing with rage that could reach the heavens.
“What about it? If you feel indignant, find someone stronger from the Law Enforcement Hall and bring them to Peerless Peak. I’d love to see if your Law Enforcement Hall’s people dare to come to our Peerless Peak to throw a fit!”
Jian Qi showed absolute disregard for the Law Enforcement Hall, displaying his dominance without restraint.
“You...” Kang Hong was so angry he couldn’t even form a proper response.
“What? Say one more word, and it won’t just be your arm—I’ll take your worthless life too!” Icy words came out of Jian Qi\'s mouth, freezing everything. The entire place fell silent, keeping quiet out of fear. Even Kang Hong couldn’t help but shiver.
He felt the unmistakable killing intent radiating from Jian Qi and knew—without a doubt—that if he dared speak again, he would die.
The people from the Peerless Peak were lunatics. Not even their Law Enforcement Hall could provoke them easily.
“Let’s go.” Jian Qi turned to Chen Fan, and a hint of warmth appeared on his face, a stark contrast to the cold killing intent he’d shown earlier. He beckoned, “Junior Brother, I’m Jian Qi. Senior Sister sent me to receive you.”
“Jian Qi? Peerless Peak? Sent by his senior sister?” Chen Fan was puzzled.
He had just arrived at True Martial City and hadn’t even stepped through its gates. How did he suddenly become someone’s junior brother?
“Chen Fan, your name is Chen Fan, right?” Jian Qi said, “You slew numerous experts in the ruins of the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold’s microcosm and obtained a heaven-tier martial art. You then killed the Sixth Young Master and the Fifth Young Master of the Heaven Supervisory Bureau in succession, along with the Dragon God Army’s Second Dragon Lord. You fought your way through, pursued by the masses, cutting a bloody path. Even the half-step Heavenly Star realm expert Yuan Powang ended up retreating in fear.
“You’re in the seventh-level Divine Nascent realm. Our Peerless Peak heard about it long ago. Thus, my master, the Peak Master of Peerless Peak, sent out a decree to take you in as his disciple before another Peak Master could snatch you away. We couldn’t afford to lose such a genius.
“We didn’t expect the Law Enforcement Hall’s people to dare plot against you. They’re truly unforgivable. You did nothing wrong. Peerless Peak has always stood against the world, unmatched by anyone, and even the Law Enforcement Hall usually steers clear of us. For them to scheme against you is outrageous. You did well to kill them—exactly what we’d expect from a disciple of Peerless Peak.”
The two communicated with their divine wills, bringing Chen Fan up to speed on what had happened.
It seemed the bloody storm he had set off on the Gen Road had long since caught the attention of the True Martial Academy’s higher-ups, prompting the Peerless Peak’s Peak Master to take him in as a disciple.
“Let’s go and report directly to Peerless Peak,” Jian Qi said.
Chen Fan replied, “But I haven’t broken through the formation.”
Jian Qi chuckled, “Break through what formation? Master personally chose you as his disciple. You don’t have to waste your time on that rubbish formation. That would only tarnish our reputation. We’ll head straight to Peerless Peak.”
Chen Fan did not say anything further after hearing what Jian Qi said.
Swoosh, swoosh!
The two leaped into the air, soaring over True Martial City as the crowd watched, disappearing from sight. None dared to stand in their way.
Seeing Jian Qi and Chen Fan leaving, Kang Hong could no longer hold back and roared out angrily. Nefarious qi erupted from him, shaking the heavens, making people terrified.
“Ahhh!”
After Kang Hong had also left, the crowd broke out into a clamor.
“Heavens, what exactly is going on here?”
“Peerless Peak? They say only a few belong to that peak, but every one of them is incredibly powerful and domineering. Even the Law Enforcement Hall avoids them.”
“As expected of the Peerless Peak. Truly ‘peerless,’ they stand unmatched under the heavens, their dominance unchallenged. Not even the Law Enforcement Hall can faze them. And they consider those trying to break through the formation as nothing but losers. Tsk tsk...”
“Chen Fan really is blessed with heavenly luck. He’s been accepted as a Peerless Peak disciple just like that. When we enter the academy, we have to go through each peak’s test, and we don\'t even get to choose.”
“Haaa, comparison is the thief of joy. But you have to admit, Chen Fan deserves it. Even an attack from a Heavenly Star realm like Kang Hong could not kill him. It goes to show his terrifying strength.”
“But do you think Kang Hong will really go to the Law Enforcement Hall to find someone stronger to go after Peerless Peak?”
“......”
True Martial City was enormous, yet it lay within the True Martial Mountain Range, serving as the gate to the True Martial Academy, with Peerless Peak rising above it.
Led by Jian Qi, Chen Fan flew over the skies of the True Martial City.
“Junior Brother, when Master heard about you, he was determined to take you in as a disciple. I am not tooting my own horn, but within the True Martial Academy, Peerless Peak stands as the strongest in combat strength.”
“Of course, there are many peaks in the True Martial Academy. Aside from our Peerless Peak, there’s also the Heavenly Bastion Peak, Stargazer Peak, Thunder Prison Peak, Limitless Sky Peak, Unsheathed Peak, Great Cliff Peak, Lustrous Peak, and Sky Origin Peak that can match up to us. These peaks all want to recruit supreme geniuses. Junior Brother has also entered their eyes.”
Jian Qi spoke confidently and enthusiastically, sharing a wealth of information about the True Martial Academy with Chen Fan. He acted familiar as if he’d been Chen Fan’s fellow disciple for years.
Chen Fan marveled in his heart; he\'d never seen anyone recruit disciples in this manner.
But seeing Jian Qi’s ability first hand—severing Kang Hong’s arm with just a flick of his fingers—it was clear how terrifyingly powerful he was. Jian Qi was no ordinary cultivator.
Chen Fan’s curiosity about Peerless Peak grew. He wanted to uncover the profound mysteries it held within the True Martial Academy.
Suddenly, the ancient space ahead rippled. It revealed a structure resembling an endless heavenly palace, its limits invisible, like an ethereal mirage.
However, Chen Fan knew that this was all real.
Jian Qi pointed at a tall peak that pierced the sky in the distance and said, “Junior Brother, the Peerless Peak is just ahead.”
Chen Fan gazed over. He discovered that although this sky-piercing peak was also very majestic and magnificent when compared to the other peaks, it had very few buildings on it. They were barely visible, unlike the other peaks that gleamed with lights, ornate structures, and constant activity.
