Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Defeating the Demon Lord with One Punch

When heroes meet on a narrow road, the braver one emerges victorious!

Su Han had an unyielding personality, and with his Invincible Tao Xin, he was even less likely to fear a formidable enemy.

Although he was confident in his invincibility, he was not arrogant. Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s strength was no less than that of Luo Hongyi, so Su Han did not underestimate her. As he made his move, he also donned the Ghostly Face Mask.

Instantly, a cold Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi surged through his body, breaking through his limits and elevating him to the First Layer of the Phenomenon Realm.

”First Form: Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!”

The sky changed as thunder and lightning intertwined, descending from the heavens and coalescing on the Black Blade.

Su Han’s opening move was from the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, a Heaven Rank Martial Technique. Even this first form was on par with an Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique. Coupled with the sharpness of the Black Blade and the enhancement from the Character Secret, the power of this slash was boundless.

Moreover, after his last Demonization, the Black Blade’s grade had increased once more, advancing from an Intermediate Grade Spiritual Artifact directly to a Low Grade Magic Artifact. While it couldn’t compare to a Supreme Grade Magic Artifact or even a Dao Artifact, it still allowed his Sword Technique to unleash even greater power.

”A Demonic Blade?”

The moment the Black Blade appeared, Yinsha Junior Demon Lord showed a flicker of surprise, clearly not expecting a disciple of the Seven Stars Sect to wield a Demonic Blade. However, she didn’t care.

Even though Su Han had used the Ghostly Face Mask to reach the First Layer of the Phenomenon Realm, the gap between them was still too great. If Su Han had used the Thunder Light Treasure Ship to stall her, he might have bought some time. A head-on battle was tantamount to suicide.

”You court death. Once I kill you, this Demonic Blade and mask will all be mine!” Yinsha Junior Demon Lord sneered, her voice dripping with a chilling killing intent. While it wasn’t as frigid as the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord’s aura, it was still enough to make one’s skin crawl.

BUZZ!

She reached out, and a blade as thin as a cicada’s wing appeared in her hand. This blade was crystalline-black, narrow, and elongated. Its curve was far more pronounced than that of a normal blade, making it resemble a scimitar.

”I’ll kill you in one move! Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Hundred Ghosts Wailing Slash!”

Yinsha Junior Demon Lord struck. Rolling Demonic Qi poured from her body, making her exude a cold and malevolent air. Clutching the Demonic Blade, she slashed at Su Han with the absolute conviction that this blow would kill.

This blade, the Cicada Wing Devil Blade, was a Low Grade Dao Artifact. It was not only incomparably sharp but also possessed the strange ability to produce sonic attacks. Combined with an Earth Rank Martial Technique, its power was truly terrifying.

The world suddenly dimmed. Mournful wails filled Su Han’s ears—a sound so sorrowful that it instinctively evoked a deep sadness, draining one’s will to fight.

A semi-corporeal, ink-colored blade light tore through the sky. It was a terrifying dual attack capable of injuring the physical body and shattering the sea of consciousness.

BOOM!

The thunderous blade light and the ink-colored one clashed, triggering a sharp, grating explosion. A violent shockwave tore through the landscape, utterly destroying the trees and rocks below.

But Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s slash wasn’t just powerful; it also carried a terrifying sonic wave that cut into Su Han’s sea of consciousness.

This sonic wave was like an invisible Sound Blade, exceptionally sharp and unstoppable as it plunged directly into Su Han’s sea of consciousness.

An ordinary Martial Artist with insufficient spiritual power would be unable to withstand this Sound Blade attack. It would shatter their sea of consciousness, scatter their spirit, and cause their will to fight to plummet.

One thought to forge a demon!

However, Su Han’s spiritual power had long since been refined into Divine Sense. After devouring the Star Nebula Emperor’s Physique, his Divine Sense had evolved into the Star Nebula Divine Sense, making it more potent than ever.

At that moment, his Divine Sense condensed, forming a Divine Sense Demon Sabre that directly shattered the incoming Sound Blade.

”Hmm?”

Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Her gaze toward Su Han carried a hint of surprise; she clearly hadn’t expected him to be so difficult to deal with.

”You have some skill, but you’re still going to die!”

Yinsha Junior Demon Lord licked her Cicada Wing Devil Blade, and then her figure flickered and vanished.

It wasn’t a true disappearance but a special Stealth Secret Method. She merged with the surrounding environment, her form becoming indistinct and her aura completely concealed, creating the illusion that she had vanished into thin air.

The Cultivation Technique Yinsha Junior Demon Lord practiced was the *Shadow Kill Demonic Codex*. Her forte was not direct combat but assassination from the shadows.

With her strength, if she prepared a killing blow, even an expert at the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm could fall. Furthermore, the Shadow Escape Technique from her *Shadow Kill Demonic Codex* allowed her to hide exceptionally well, making her undetectable to most people.

Now, Yinsha Junior Demon Lord had activated the Shadow Escape Technique and was lurking nearby, preparing a lethal blow. She was confident Su Han couldn’t perceive her technique and that her next attack would claim the Seven Stars Sect disciple’s life.

”Nine Heavens Eye, open!”

Utterly fearless, Su Han focused his Divine Sense into his brow, quickly condensing it into the Nine Heavens Eye. Instantly, everything between heaven and earth became distinct and clear.

Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s Shadow Escape Technique was powerful, but it couldn’t deceive Su Han. After all, the Nine Heavens Eye Technique was a Divine Method, far beyond any mortal art.

Upon activating his Nine Heavens Eye, Su Han had already located Yinsha Junior Demon Lord. However, he didn’t act, instead continuing to pretend he hadn’t noticed her.

Like a veteran hunter, Su Han had enough patience to wait for his opportunity. He feigned vigilance, waiting for her to launch a close-range sneak attack. By pitting his preparedness against her unawareness, his chances of victory were much higher.

His Devouring Heaven Demonic Art was circulating, rendering Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s Demonic Qi completely useless against him. As for the surrounding Eighteen Prison Formation, Su Han’s Formation Mastery made it easy for him to remain unaffected, even though he couldn’t spare the focus to break it.

She thinks I’m weak and underestimates me. Plus, she has no idea my Nine Heavens Eye has already found her. Now that I’ve negated the effects of this Eighteen Prison Formation, this is my best chance to deal with her.

Su Han’s acting was superb, and his mind was perfectly clear. Having inherited the memories and combat experience of a divine devil, his skill was far beyond anything Yinsha Junior Demon Lord could compare to. If not for his lower realm, he could have easily crushed her in a direct confrontation.

Suddenly, Su Han’s heart stirred. Here she comes! He saw that Yinsha Junior Demon Lord had finished her preparations and was launching her attack.

She moved like a phantom, using her Shadow Escape Technique without causing the slightest ripple or revealing a hint of her aura. Without the Nine Heavens Eye, it would have been truly difficult for Su Han to defend himself. But now, he had already laid his trap, waiting for his prey to walk into it.

”Go to hell!”

Yinsha Junior Demon Lord appeared behind Su Han, her Cicada Wing Devil Blade in hand, slashing down with the speed of lightning.

The slash was unbelievably fast, like a draw meant to cleave water, cutting through the air itself and creating roiling shockwaves. But it struck only air. The fully prepared Su Han had easily dodged it.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Before Yinsha Junior Demon Lord could react, Su Han’s left hand clenched into a fist that shone like a golden sun, and he smashed it directly into her body.

CRASH!

Yinsha Junior Demon Lord coughed up a spray of blood and was sent flying, crashing violently into the ground and gouging out a massive crater.

With a single punch, Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was defeated.
