Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: I’ll Fight as Many as They Send

”Here they come! The disciples from Tianxuan Peak have all arrived. Now we’ve got a good show to watch!”

As the teeming crowd surged forward like a tide, the onlookers’ eyes lit up with excitement, eager for the drama to unfold. Ning Feifan grew a little nervous, his palms sweating as he gripped the flagpole. Su Han, however, was perfectly calm, showing not a hint of fear.

”Are you Su Han?” A man in white robes was the first to fly out from the group. He held a feather fan, carrying himself with an elegant demeanor. He was at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm—a full realm higher than Su Han—and anyone who could enter the Seven Stars Sect was undoubtedly a prodigy.

”Draw Sword Slash!”

Su Han wasted no words. Gripping his Black Blade, he slashed out directly.

The white-robed man’s expression flickered as he felt the terrifying power of the attack, but he was no pushover.

”Mysterious Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Wind Spiral Slash!”

Spiritual Energy surged through his body as he drew upon the power of heaven and earth. With a light wave of his feather fan, a sharp gust of wind shot out like a blade. The wind blades were incredibly sharp, and there were hundreds of them. They converged into a raging spiral that hurtled toward Su Han.

The white-robed man’s strength was tremendous. Even without a Special Physique, he was no weaker than Qian Xing and his Stellar Monarch Body. His howling wind spiral successfully blocked Su Han’s slash.

But Su Han reacted even faster. The moment he unleashed his attack, he also activated the Character Technique of Motion to close the distance, pressing his advance on the white-robed man.

”Such incredible speed!”

The white-robed man’s pupils shrank as an intense sense of crisis washed over him, stunned by the unrivaled speed of the Character Technique of Motion.

However, his combat experience was also extremely rich. The feather fan in his hand suddenly flared with a brilliant light as its feathers shot out. The fan had nine feathers, each one pristine white, clearly taken from some powerful demonic beast. They flew like arrows loosed from a bow, whistling through the air as they aimed for Su Han’s vital spots.

A sharp glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes as he swung his blade with lightning speed. However, the nine feathers twisted bizarrely, evading the blade’s arc and homing in on his fatal points. This feather fan was no ordinary item but a Superior Grade Magic Artifact of exceptional quality and myriad uses.

”Dragon Phoenix Protection!”

Su Han activated the ability, no longer bothering with the nine feathers.

PING! PING! PING!

The feathers struck his Dragon Phoenix Protection, creating sharp, metallic sounds, but they failed to penetrate it, much less harm him. In that instant, Su Han closed the remaining distance and stood directly before the white-robed man.

Without hesitation, he brought his blade down.

All prior confidence had vanished from the white-robed man’s face. He hastily crushed a Defensive Spirit Talisman, forming a golden light shield to block the fearsome attack. The shield was strong, but Su Han’s Black Blade was far sharper. It cleaved through the golden light and slashed down ferociously on the man.

SQUELCH!

Before the shocked eyes of the onlookers, the white-robed man was sent flying, spraying a conspicuous arc of blood across the sky. He finally came to a stop only after snapping a large tree in half, collapsing to the ground with a gruesome wound gaping on his chest. His white robes were now stained red, and he was severely injured.

Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion to appear beside him, calmly taking his Storage Ring and the feather fan.

PTUI!

Defeated, gravely injured, and robbed clean—the rage was too much for the white-robed man. He coughed up another mouthful of blood and fainted.

”Senior Brother Wang!”

The other Tianxuan Peak disciples cried out in shock and rushed over to tend to his wounds.

This outcome caused an outcry among the spectators.

”Wang Ziming is a prodigy ranked sixty-eighth on the Qingyun List! How was he defeated so quickly? Su Han’s strength is terrifying!”

”Look closely. Su Han is at the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. During the entry assessment, he had just broken through to the Fourth Layer. He’s advanced two layers in just seven days! Elder Lei must have given him special training.”

”Yaoguang Peak may have declined, but Elder Lei is still one of the ten Great Elders. With his full support, Su Han was bound to improve tremendously. His previous claim of being invincible below the Phenomenon Realm might actually be true!”

Wang Ziming was quite famous in the Seven Stars Sect, so no one expected him to be defeated so quickly. The crowd buzzed with discussion, creating a huge stir.

Su Han paid the unconscious Wang Ziming no further mind. He placed the feather fan into the Storage Ring he had just taken, then tossed the ring to Ning Feifan.

”Next!” he called out, his gaze sweeping over the other disciples from Tianxuan Peak. The real show had just begun!

Although everyone was furious at Su Han’s arrogance, no one could deny his power. With Wang Ziming defeated so swiftly, anyone weaker would just be serving themselves up for a beating. Faced with Su Han’s challenge, most of the Tianxuan Peak disciples averted their eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

”I’ll take you on!”

A black-robed figure rushed out from the crowd, charging straight for Su Han. The newcomer wielded a heavy copper rod and was also at the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, but his strength was even greater than Wang Ziming’s.

”It’s Senior Brother Lu Kuang!”

The Tianxuan Peak disciples’ faces lit up with excitement when they saw him make his move. Lu Kuang was not only a prodigy ranked sixty-first on the Qingyun List but also a rare Body Refiner. His Physical Body was as tough as metal, and he possessed Innate Divine Strength. Even without a Special Physique, ordinary prodigies were no match for him.

With the copper rod in hand, Lu Kuang’s tall figure resembled a humanoid berserker ape. He swung the rod in a vicious arc, aiming straight for Su Han’s head.

”Mysterious Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Mountain-Breaking Strike!”

Lu Kuang already possessed Innate Divine Strength, and his copper rod was a Superior Grade Magic Artifact famed for its immense weight and durability—perfect for breaking all techniques with brute force. As the rod smashed down, the air seemed to explode. Shockwaves rolled out, and the deafening roar of displaced air made the onlookers’ faces turn pale from the terrifying pressure.

But Su Han showed no fear. As strong as Lu Kuang was, he was still no match for him.

”Body Binding Technique!”

Su Han’s Divine Sense shot out, activating the technique from his Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method. Lu Kuang’s body instantly stiffened in midair, frozen in place. He struggled desperately but could not break free. In that same moment, Su Han activated the Character Technique of Motion, soaring into the air to evade the attack and appearing directly behind Lu Kuang.

He clenched his left fist. Without using the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, he simply channeled the golden Qi-Blood in his body. Even so, the power of his fist was terrifying and unmatched.

THUD!

Before the stunned crowd, Su Han’s punch slammed into Lu Kuang’s back. The blow was so powerful it split his skin and tore his flesh, sending him spitting blood as he plummeted to the ground. He crashed with enough force to create a large crater, defeated and severely wounded.

Lu Kuang’s Physical Body was strong, but Su Han possessed a Sacred Body, surging Qi-Blood, and an Unrivaled Physical Body.

Showing no mercy, Su Han took Lu Kuang’s copper rod and Storage Ring as well. Though Lu Kuang didn’t faint, he roared in fury and pain.

”Next!”

Su Han tossed the latest Storage Ring to Ning Feifan. His challenge continued, his presence like that of an undefeatable War God.
