High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery Chapter 807 - 624: Why Don’t You All Come at Me Together (Part 2)

Previously on High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery...
Yueyang City faced an overwhelming Beast Tide assault from ground, sky, and underground, with defenders struggling amid crashing warplanes and surging hordes that threatened imminent collapse. The bloodied City Lord urged his forces to hold out, revealing that elite support in the form of the legendary Chen Fan—known for slaying nearly twenty experts and capturing quasi-S-Class Awakeners—was en route. In an instant, the gunfire ceased, and all Fierce Beasts within and beyond the walls dropped dead, their heads erupting in fountains of blood, leaving the survivors in stunned silence amid the carnage. The City Lord, gazing upon the river of beast corpses below, confirmed Chen Fan's decisive intervention.

"Who is it?"

"Chen Fan?"

"Yes, indeed."

The City Lord from Yueyang City gave a nod, "Only he would show up to aid us right now. And earlier inside the city, recall that sensation where your body froze up? If my guess holds, his hand was behind that too."

Shock left everyone speechless.

Chen Fan's strength was something they all recognized.

Yet none had pictured it reaching such heights.

Not a soul grasped the way he struck.

...

Awakened Association Headquarters.

Thunder Emperor and War Emperor stared at the wall map.

"Update from Yueyang City: the Beast Tide surrounding them got pushed back."

A grin spread across War Emperor's features,

"Beast Tide driven off, and they're still reeling in disbelief. They've asked me over and over if Chen Fan showed and why he stayed out of sight."

Thunder Emperor cracked a smile at the news.

Still, as his eyes moved to the upcoming big cities, worry crept into his expression.

"Fierce Beasts aren't idiots. Failing at Yueyang City means they know Yan Country deployed its top fighter. Those Beast Emperors have lurked for this chance; they'll surely strike the next cities, lying in wait for Chen Fan's arrival."

"True, though they never saw the save coming from outside our side."

Following Yueyang City, Chen Fan hit three more key cities in a row, scattering the Beast Tides that hemmed them in.

But once he'd cleared the Fierce Beasts from the final one, he held his ground instead of slipping away, picking up on four potent presences closing in.

"At last, they're here."

Satisfaction flickered in Chen Fan's gaze.

These Beast Emperors had been locked in a staring contest with figures like the Thunder Emperor.

To determine who'd blink first.

If one group jumped the gun, the rest could counter smartly.

His bold moves guaranteed he'd draw the Beast Emperors' eyes, maybe even lure them all out at once.

Exactly as planned.

All four Beast Emperors had indeed arrived.

"What's that?"

"B-Beast Emperor?"

Yunyang City's folk were basking in their narrow escape.

That joy shattered when four enormous shapes barreled in from east, south, west, and north, wiping the grins from faces and plunging hearts into despair.

From the east rolled the Five-headed Serpent Emperor, stretching nearly 150 meters high. It started with six heads until Thunder Emperor chopped one off, leaving five that made it look fiercer still.

South brought the Flaming Giant Elephant, topping a hundred meters and bulky as a hillock. Flames trailed its path without end. This Beast Emperor clashed evenly with War Emperor, pulling back only after the Six-headed Serpent Emperor took that hit.

West featured the Iron-winged Flying Dragon, born from a lizard's evolution. Of the trio, its striking force ranked lower, yet it proved the biggest headache thanks to flight.

North held a Fierce Beast unknown to sight or tale, lion-like with a golden coat; its over-a-hundred-meter frame marked it a Beast Emperor for sure.

"Fo-Four Beast Emperors."

Yunyang City's City Lord stood at a loss for words.

Word had it this Beast Tide revival stemmed from a fourth Beast Emperor rising among Fierce Beasts.

Now it rang true, with the golden lion as that fresh powerhouse.

Still, for hitting one big city, did they need all four Beast Emperors?

Wouldn't just one do the job?

The rest in the city froze in terror, minds wiped blank.

The four Beast Emperors scanned the area, their stares locking onto Chen Fan all at once.

This man's presence hit them as mighty.

Confusion mixed in, though.

Shouldn't Thunder Emperor, War Emperor, or Ice Emperor—or two of them—be the one here?

Three together? They could still crush them without fear.

Scanning around revealed none of the trio— just some unknown face.

"Human, who are you? We've never laid eyes on you."

Flaming Giant Elephant's voice rumbled, making city wall defenders' ears ring nonstop.

"It's not too late to see now."

Chen Fan replied with steady calm.

Beast Emperors shot looks at each other.

This guy stayed way too poised.

With all four united, even those three wouldn't keep cool facing them.

"Why bother chatting him up? Tomorrow marks his doom, and the whole city's too."

A head from Five-headed Serpent Emperor hissed with venomous cold.

"Figured we'd snag big game this round, but it's just one. Kid's got guts, though. Taking him down hits the Human Race hard."

Iron-winged Flying Dragon grumbled, sounding a touch let down.

"Let me handle it."

Golden Giant Lion urged, raring to go.

Fresh to Beast Emperor status, it itched to show its might.

And this human made the ideal target.

The other three Beast Emperors shared glances, holding off on yes.

No denying, it spelled a prime shot for Golden Giant Lion, but drawn-out fights risked Human Race backups crashing the party.

For caution's sake, better swarm and end the youth quick.

"You’d better all come at me together,"

Chen Fan's words cut in then.

Not loud, but the taunt stung deep.

Humans and Beast Emperors alike froze in stunned silence.

Of course, city folk brimmed with awe for Chen Fan.

Yet ahead loomed four Beast Emperor Fierce Beasts!

Thunder Emperor's crew showing up? Outcome would hang in doubt.

No matter this guy's prowess, could he solo four Beast Emperors?

The four Beast Emperors blanked first, then rage flared.

"Kid, you’re not very tall, but your tone is massive."

Flaming Giant Elephant thundered.

"Really?"

Chen Fan curved a faint smile.

Instantly after, a Dharma Aspect surged up from earth, spanning over a thousand meters.

This Dharma Aspect mirrored him strikingly.

Plainly, it was his own form.

"!!!"

Yunyang City Lord and his nearby allies gaped skyward at the Dharma Aspect, wonder overwhelming them.

They'd deemed Beast Emperor heights imposing enough; walls barely reached half up.

But the Dharma Aspect loomed like a titan, dwarfing Beast Emperors several-fold. Those former giants now looked puny against it.

"H-how is this possible!"

The four Beast Emperors gawked, floored by the vision.

They even backed away on instinct.

Golden Giant Lion shook outright.

"Don’t panic. This could be a trick illusion to spook us."

Five-headed Serpent Emperor warned.

"Is it?"

Chen Fan's voice echoed, as the Dharma Aspect whipped its massive arm, ripping sonic booms through nearby air.

Five-headed Serpent Emperor jolted and scrambled to evade.

Too slow, though—the descending hand outpaced it. Facing capture, its five heads unleashed gales and lightning blasts.

Effects? Mere scratches, no real damage.

Moments later.

The huge hand clamped down fast.

Sensing death's grip, Five-headed Serpent Emperor begged wildly.

"N-no, please, don’t!"

"Spare us!"

"We are willing to surrender!"

Chen Fan acted deaf, squeezing just a bit.

Bang—the Five-headed Serpent Emperor's form exploded apart.

Five-headed Serpent Emperor met its end.

Everything unfolded in a flash.

The mighty Beast Emperor fell in an instant.

Be it onlookers or the remaining three Beast Emperors, all froze solid, rooted in sheer shock.
