Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Indifferent to Life and Death, Ready to Fight if Unconvinced

This roar, thunderous and earth-shaking, instantly attracted the attention of many. Everyone looked up in unison, only to see a streak of starlight slashing across the sky. Within the starlight was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The young man bore some resemblance to Qian Xing, but he was even more heroic, like a Star Lord descending into the world, putting all others to shame with his mere presence.

”It’s the Second Prince, Qian Yuan, of the Great Qian Dynasty!” someone exclaimed in astonishment, instantly recognizing the newcomer.

The Great Qian Dynasty had three ”dragons.” Qian Xing was just one of them, and his two older brothers had long since joined the Seven Stars Sect. Both were legacy disciples, holding noble status and immense power.

The man before them was Qian Yuan, the Second Prince. He had heard his younger brother was in a duel and rushed over immediately. However, he arrived only to find that his brother was already in mortal danger.

At this moment, his gaze was locked firmly on Su Han, his eyes surging with murderous intent and his aura overwhelming.

Qian Xing was his brother. No one was allowed to harm him, or they would die!

”Second Brother, help me!”

Qian Xing also saw the rapidly approaching Qian Yuan, and his eyes lit up with hope. Since childhood, his two older brothers had doted on him. No matter what he did, they had his back, so he was extremely dependent on them.

Moreover, his second brother was a legacy disciple of the Seven Stars Sect and a powerhouse of the Phenomenon Realm. If he arrived, not only would Qian Xing survive, but he could also kill Su Han and finally get his revenge.

Thinking of this, Qian Xing grew even more excited. He failed to notice, however, that Su Han’s expression hadn’t changed in the slightest. Despite the anxiety of the Outer Sect Elders or the approaching threats of Qian Yuan, his gaze remained as icy as ever, filled only with cold, indifferent killing intent.

Flinching in fear is not my way. Eradicating the root of the problem is my only goal. Qian Xing humiliated Fairy Sister Yun Xian, a crime for which he deserves a thousand deaths. If I let him go today, both Fairy Sister Yun Xian and I will face his endless revenge in the future. I refuse to be so passive. Only by killing him can I settle this once and for all. As for the consequences, I have never feared them.

”Draw Sword Slash!”

Activating the Character Secret, the Black Blade flared with a chilling sharpness. Filled with the conviction to kill, it slashed fiercely down toward Qian Xing.

Su Han held nothing back in this strike.

”No!”

Watching the Black Blade fall swiftly, Qian Xing’s pupils shrank in utter horror. He couldn’t believe it. Even with his second brother here, Su Han still dared to press the killing blow.

He desperately attacked, his starlight surging violently as he tried to block the attack. But he was severely injured, his Starry Moon Armor was already shattered, and his Spiritual Energy was nearly depleted. With less than a tenth of his usual strength, he was utterly incapable of withstanding the sharp blade.

”Wretched commoner! If you dare to kill my brother, I will have you subjected to death by a thousand cuts! I will slaughter everyone related to you, leaving no one alive!”

Qian Yuan’s pupils constricted as the icy words squeezed through his clenched teeth, each one saturated with killing intent. Regrettably, his threat did not slow Su Han’s blade in the slightest. The Black Blade struck like lightning.

With a flash of the blade, a blood-drenched head flew into the air. Blood spurted wildly, staining the sky. Qian Xing’s face was frozen in shock and bewilderment, unable to comprehend why Su Han had truly dared to kill him.

Unfortunately, it was an answer he would never get. The head traced a graceful arc through the air before plummeting to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

”In a Single Thought, One Becomes a Demon!”

But Su Han wasn’t finished. His Divine Sense, condensed as hard as steel, surged out and took on a Demonic Nature, forming a Divine Sense Demon Sabre. The sabre slashed straight toward Qian Xing’s head, splitting open his sea of consciousness and obliterating his spiritual power.

During the autumn selection, Su Tian had escaped death with a soul jade. Su Han refused to make the same mistake again.

Soon, Qian Xing’s spiritual power was annihilated. He was utterly dead, beyond the help of even the gods.

At that moment, the entire arena fell deathly silent. No one spoke. They all just stared, dumbfounded.

Dead?

The Third Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, a Sixth-Layer Heavenly Human Realm expert who possessed the Stellar Monarch Body, was actually slain by Su Han in a single strike? This was simply inconceivable!

Everyone had been mentally prepared for Qian Xing’s defeat, but no one had expected a duel to escalate into a fight to the death. It wasn’t that Qian Xing was weak. Everyone had witnessed his strength, which was far beyond what an ordinary prodigy could match.

It could only be said that Su Han was too strong, too monstrously powerful. Despite his disadvantage in cultivation realm, he had used his many techniques to defeat Qian Xing decisively. He even went so far as to slay him in front of everyone.

In that instant, the name Su Han was indelibly etched into everyone’s hearts, forever remembered.

But many now worried for Su Han. With Qian Xing dead, this matter would not end peacefully. Leaving everything else aside, the enraged Qian Yuan alone was not someone Su Han could withstand.

No matter how monstrous Su Han was, he was only in the Heavenly Human Realm. Qian Yuan, however, was a powerful expert in the Phenomenon Realm. Moreover, he too was a prodigy, possessing the Nebula Royal Body, one of the Three Thousand Physiques. He was not someone an ordinary person could face.

”Wretched commoner, you dared to kill my brother! I swear I will tear you to pieces!”

As expected, seeing Qian Xing killed, Qian Yuan completely lost control. His heaven-shaking roar and intense killing intent made everyone’s hearts tremble in dread. The terrifying pressure of the Phenomenon Realm descended, making the very air feel heavy and oppressive, rendering it difficult to breathe.

”Phenomenon: Myriad Forms Nebula!”

Qian Yuan attacked without hesitation, directly unleashing his Phenomenon. He already possessed the Nebula Royal Body—a top-tier Physique from the Three Thousand Physiques, ranked just over a thousand—which came with a natural Phenomenon. Now, with his Phenomenon Realm strength, the might of his Phenomenon was even more formidable.

A massive, fog-like nebula spread out, dazzlingly colorful and beautiful. The nebula swirled like a ring, having no fixed shape, but it was capable of transforming into a thousand forms.

At this moment, Qian Yuan’s body glowed with brilliant starlight as he fully activated his Nebula Royal Body. The nebula instantly transformed into the shape of a giant Kun, which opened its boundless maw and lunged toward Su Han to devour him.

Once swallowed, Su Han would be assaulted by the nebula, forever trapped and unable to escape.

Filled with rage, Qian Yuan attacked with the same conviction to kill, intent on avenging his brother.

Qian Yuan was powerful, and the force of his Phenomenon was terrifying. However, Su Han possessed the perfect counter to any Phenomenon.

”Phenomenon: Black Hole!”

Su Han once again condensed his Black Hole Phenomenon, this time the size of a water vat. A unique suction force radiated from it, directly colliding with the Myriad Forms Nebula.

Although the Black Hole Phenomenon was a mere speck of dust compared to the Myriad Forms Nebula, its unique properties allowed it to rapidly devour the nebula. Not only did Qian Yuan’s Phenomenon fail to suppress Su Han, but a significant portion of it was consumed.

This development made Qian Yuan’s heart sink, and his killing intent grew even stronger. But Su Han would not just stand by and wait for his execution.

So what if he’s in the Phenomenon Realm? I’ll just have to kill him!

SWISH!

Su Han reached out, grabbed the Ghostly Face Mask, and donned it. Gripping the Black Blade, he did not retreat. Instead, he advanced, taking the fight directly to Qian Yuan.
