Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Who Dares to Fight Me?

Myriad rays of dawn and flowing cloud waterfalls cascaded down Tianxuan Peak, creating a stark contrast with Yaoguang Peak—it was like comparing heaven and earth. Furthermore, the peak was bustling with people coming and going, another sharp contrast to the desolation of Yaoguang Peak.

The arrival of Su Han and Ning Feifan initially went unnoticed. After all, countless disciples traversed Tianxuan Peak daily, and sometimes disciples from other Spirit Peaks would visit friends and relatives. However, everything changed when Su Han blocked the mountain gate and had Ning Feifan erect a battle flag.

There Su Han stood at the entrance, while Ning Feifan held the battle flag high. It bore six bold characters: ’Who dares to battle me?’

This was an outright provocation! Such a bizarre act instantly attracted countless gazes.

”Who are those two? How arrogant, coming to Tianxuan Peak to provoke us. They’re really courting death!”

”They’re unfamiliar faces; I’ve never seen them before. They probably aren’t disciples of Tianxuan Peak... Wait, I remember now! Isn’t that Su Han, the one who caused that huge uproar during the entry-level assessment?”

”Su Han? You mean the Su Han who broke the records for all three trials, slew Qian Xing, severed Qian Yuan’s arm, and ultimately triggered a battle between Supremes?”

Countless gazes converged on Su Han as discussions spread like wildfire. The news from the entry-level assessment had swept through the entire Seven Stars Sect like a hurricane, and nearly every disciple had heard his name. Combined with the life-and-death duel against Qian Yuan set for one month later, Su Han’s name was thunderously well-known. To the disappointment of many, however, he hadn’t been seen since entering Yaoguang Peak.

No one had expected that when Su Han finally reappeared, he would do so in such an outrageous manner, daring to challenge Tianxuan Peak itself.

”Su Han, you’re far too arrogant! We haven’t even come looking for trouble with you, yet you dare to provoke us? Kneel and beg for mercy at once!” a Tianxuan Peak disciple stepped forward and shouted, attempting to defend the peak’s dignity.

WHOOSH!

Employing the Character Technique of Motion, Su Han’s speed increased tenfold, and he instantly appeared before the disciple. He unsheathed his Black Blade and slashed down without hesitation.

”You...” The Tianxuan Peak disciple’s face filled with horror. He never expected Su Han would dare to strike him in public. With no time to evade, he could only draw his own weapon and defend with all his might. He, too, was at the Heavenly Human Realm, but before Su Han, he was as weak as a chick.

A flash of the blade was followed by a scream. Everyone watched as the disciple was sent flying, landing heavily more than ten meters away. A gruesome, bloody wound gaped open on his chest, and he struggled powerlessly, unable to get back up. With a single slash, the Tianxuan Peak disciple was severely wounded and defeated.

This was only because Su Han had shown mercy; otherwise, with his strength, that one slash would have been enough to kill him. But Su Han was here to rob, not to kill. Murder violated the sect’s rules, but robbery did not!

HISS!

Seeing Su Han’s decisive action and swift victory, the surrounding crowd gasped, their eyes wide with shock.

Too dominant! Too decisive! Too powerful!

Until now, they had only heard tales of Su Han’s ruthless decisiveness and innate talent, but they had never witnessed it firsthand. This single slash seared the image into their memories.

At that moment, Su Han walked over to the wounded disciple. Under the man’s furious glare, Su Han snatched his Storage Ring. The ring contained a fair number of valuable treasures—an excellent opening gambit.

”Disciples of Tianxuan Peak, I’ll rob every last one of you who comes out! Below the Phenomenon Realm, I am invincible!” Su Han’s powerful gaze swept across the crowd, his resonant voice reaching every ear and leaving them utterly stunned.

He was actually here to rob them! And he planned to challenge the entirety of Tianxuan Peak by himself. It was truly insane.

”I have a feeling this is going to get intense. Su Han’s ruthlessness is terrifying. Provoking someone like him is a disaster for Tianxuan Peak,” someone muttered, swallowing hard as they stared at Su Han in shock.

Challenging an entire Spirit Peak alone was something that had never happened in the history of the Seven Stars Sect. Regardless of success or failure, Su Han’s name would be recorded in the annals of history for this.

”Keep this safe!” Su Han tossed the first Storage Ring he had acquired to Ning Feifan.

Ning Feifan clutched the Storage Ring, his eyes blazing with a fervent heat. This is just too exhilarating!

Although joining Yaoguang Peak seemed like a raw deal, following a boss like Su Han meant there would be plenty of spoils.”The boss is mighty! The boss is invincible! The boss is number one in his realm!” Ning Feifan shouted excitedly, waving the flag and playing his part as Su Han’s number one lackey.

Just then, a new group of Tianxuan Peak disciples appeared, preparing to leave the mountain to attend to matters outside.

”Draw Sword Slash!”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Su Han took the initiative. A streak of dark light shot from his blade like a bolt of silk, carrying a bone-chilling cold as it flew toward the disciples. Their strength was unremarkable, with only one among them at the Heavenly Human Realm, making them utterly incapable of withstanding Su Han’s domineering and unparalleled strike.

Soon, several more severely wounded and wailing Tianxuan Peak disciples lay on the ground. Su Han, just as before, unceremoniously relieved them of their Storage Rings.

At this moment, Su Han stood blocking the gate of Tianxuan Peak, Black Blade in hand, exuding an overwhelming aura.

”Disciples of Tianxuan Peak! I’ll take on every last one of you. None of you are leaving this mountain!”

Sitting back and waiting was not Su Han’s style. He preferred to be on the offensive. This way, he could both suppress Tianxuan Peak and acquire the Cultivation Resources he needed—killing two birds with one stone.

”Quick, go back and get reinforcements!” Seeing the scene, the disciples in the distance looked on in horror before turning and scrambling back to call for help.

Tianxuan Peak was no withered mountain like Yaoguang Peak. Its Spiritual Energy was dense, its disciples numerous, and its experts plentiful. To say nothing of others, many geniuses from the Qingyun List had joined Tianxuan Peak.

Su Han didn’t stop them from sending word. Whoever came, he would rob them all.

On Tianxuan Peak, Spiritual Energy hung like mist while clouds steamed and sunlight formed halos, creating a scene like a fairyland on earth. Palaces were scattered throughout, arranged like stars across the sky. The Peak Master was Qin Wushuang, and the Star Child was Qian Xuan. Below Qian Xuan, however, there were still many talented experts, of whom Qian Yuan was just one.

When news arrived that Su Han was blocking their gate, the normally tranquil Tianxuan Peak instantly erupted.

”What? That Su Han from Yaoguang Peak dares to come to our Tianxuan Peak, block our gate, and rob us? He must have a death wish!”

”Hmph! I was going to wait for Senior Brother Qian Yuan to deal with him in a month, but I didn’t expect him to be so eager to die. I’ll go meet him myself!”

”The arrogance of youth! Does he really think killing Qian Xing makes him invincible? Today, I’ll teach him a lesson and show him that there are always stronger people out there.”

Cries of righteous indignation rose from all across Tianxuan Peak. One after another, figures shot toward the mountain gate.

And this was precisely the effect Su Han had been hoping for.
