Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Is That All You’re Capable Of?

Qian Xuan’s demeanor was one of supreme arrogance. He gazed down on Su Han as if he were a mere ant, not even worth acknowledging.

Three months ago, after Qian Yuan was killed, he had been filled with anger and murderous intent toward Su Han. Now, however, he no longer regarded Su Han as an enemy, for Su Han did not even qualify to be considered one.

Upon entering the Physique Realm, one’s perspective of the world changes drastically. His horizons had long surpassed the Seven Stars Sect, crossed the boundaries of Qingzhou, and were set on the entire Eastern Region.

He considered his true competition to be the prodigies on the Eastern Region’s Prodigy List, the elite disciples cultivated by the various Supreme Holy Lands, and the Imperial Sons from Ancient Families.

As for Su Han, he was far too insignificant, like an ant beneath his feet, not deserving a moment of his attention, let alone to be seen as an enemy.

Today, in front of everyone, I will crush this insignificant ant with a flick of my hand and let the world know that the only fate for those who defy me is death!

”Wow! So handsome, my heart is pounding wildly, I can hardly stand it!”

”He’s extraordinarily elegant and unbeatably charismatic. Senior Brother Qian Xuan is incredibly cool. If only I could have a fraction of his grace, I’d be satisfied.”

”Senior Brother Qian Xuan, I am willing to remain chaste for you for life, even if you never know who I am. I am willing to give you everything.”

Qian Xuan’s lofty attitude only fueled the crowd’s fervor, as if he were a god, the heavens themselves, the very incarnation of perfection.

Toward these brain-dead, sycophantic fans, Su Han had no energy to scoff. As for Qian Xuan’s arrogance, his heart was filled only with killing intent.

”Su Han, I can give you a chance. If you kneel and beg for mercy now, kowtow in submission to me, I will spare your life. I might even take you as a follower, allowing you to stand with me at the peak of Martial Arts. This is your honor and your only chance. If you dare defy me again, all that awaits you is death!” Qian Xuan spoke indifferently, as if he were a deity passing judgment, his words irrefutable.

Qian Xuan’s words only intensified the envy, jealousy, and hatred the other disciples felt toward Su Han. To Su Han, however, they only deepened his killing intent.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Han glanced coldly at Qian Xuan and sneered, ”Have you finished speaking? If you have, then you can go die!”

SWOOSH!

With the Black Blade in hand and Demonic Qi poured into it, Su Han struck without hesitation.

”First Form: Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!”

With a single slash, the sky changed color. Flashes of thunder light intertwined as the blade shot toward Qian Xuan with overwhelming momentum and icy killing intent, holding nothing back.

This slash made Qian Xuan’s pupils contract and shocked the disciples in the plaza beyond measure. They couldn’t believe it. After Senior Brother Qian Xuan had offered Su Han such generous terms, he was not only ungrateful but had actually dared to draw his sword. He truly didn’t know what was good for him.

Hmph. You refuse my kindness only to seek death!

Su Han taking the initiative to attack made Qian Xuan’s gaze grow colder. His last trace of mocking amusement vanished, leaving only a frigid killing intent.

You want to die? Fine. I shall grant your wish!

SWOOSH!

A surge of stellar light burst forth from Qian Xuan’s body, instantly painting half the sky as if transitioning from day to night. The heavens were ablaze with stars, a resplendent galaxy.

”Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Big Dipper Strike!”

The Cultivation Technique Qian Xuan practiced was the Seven Stars Sect’s ”Big Dipper Seven Star Technique,” a Heaven Rank Low Level technique and the sect’s treasured art, which only the sect leader could fully master. Although Qian Xuan had only mastered three of its seven layers, he was already far beyond ordinary martial artists, possessing exceptional strength.

Starlight condensed, forming seven bright stars arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper. They immediately gathered into a Starlight Divine Spear that shot toward Su Han with an unmatched, magnificent force—like a meteor, like the heavens falling, piercing through the world, unstoppable.

As a Physique Realm First Layer powerhouse, Qian Xuan’s Spiritual Energy was as profound as an abyss and as vast as an ocean. The Starlight Divine Spear, formed under his power, was a terrifying seven hundred meters in size.

BOOM!

Su Han’s Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power collided with it but could only hold for a moment before it was overwhelmed and shattered.

The Starlight Divine Spear, however, continued its unstoppable descent, aiming for Su Han like a heavenly punishment.

”Too powerful! When Senior Brother Qian Xuan makes a move, it’s like a god of war has descended! A single hand that covers the sky and destroys everything! Who in the same realm could possibly stand against him!”

Before the battle, everyone had been anticipating the invincible grace of Qian Xuan after his breakthrough, and his first move did not disappoint. An Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique, in his hands, unleashed power comparable to that of an Earth Rank Middle Level or even an Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique.

This one move alone drove all the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect into a frenzy. Even the Physique Realm Outer Sect Elders were shocked and filled with dread, admitting to themselves that they couldn’t unleash such a mighty Starlight Divine Spear even if they gave it their all.

”Truly worthy of being the once-in-a-millennium prodigy of our Seven Stars Sect. He already possesses such power just after breaking through to the Physique Realm. Given a little more time, he’s bound to get on the Prodigy List!” Mu Qingyun stroked his beard and smiled, extremely pleased with Qian Xuan’s performance.

The Qingyun List ranked the prodigies within the Qingzhou region, but across the entire Eastern Region, there was another list called the Prodigy List. It had one hundred spots, chronicling the freakishly talented prodigies under the age of one hundred.

Although Qian Xuan possessed exceptional innate talent and strength, he had not yet made it onto the Prodigy List. The Eastern Region, after all, encompassed five hundred Daozhou, with Supreme Holy Lands, Ancient Families, Immortal Dynasties, and Ancient Emperor Clans. With only one hundred spots available, there was roughly one for every five Daozhou. As Qingzhou was a mid-to-lower-tier Daozhou, getting onto the Prodigy List was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

But Mu Qingyun believed that with another three to five years of diligent cultivation, Qian Xuan would surely make it onto the Prodigy List. At that time, he could compete with the prodigies from all over the Eastern Region, dominate the world, and become renowned for all time.

Qin Wushuang appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was surging with killing intent. Su Han, you lowly ant, today I will watch with my own eyes as you are defeated and slain! I am confident that with Qian Xuan fighting, this battle is already won. Su Han is certain to die!

”Boss, you can do it!” Ning Feifan shouted, his voice the lone cheer for his friend.

At that moment, the Starlight Divine Spear, carrying invincible power, thrust straight toward Su Han in full view of the crowd. Its terrifying force twisted the air and shook the Void, as if truly about to deliver a fatal blow.

Everyone was betting against him, but Su Han was fearless. Reaching into his Storage Ring, he pulled out the Ghostly Face Mask. His aura suddenly surged, breaking through two realms at once and raising his cultivation from the Fifth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm to the Seventh Layer, closing the gap with Qian Xuan.

”Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!”

Su Han activated the Character Secret and executed the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds he had just mastered.

ROAR!

Instantly, a Heavenly Dragon’s phantom flashed across his body. A majestic and mighty dragon’s roar carrying heavenly might emanated from his mouth.

The sound waves of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, carrying the intent of Great Annihilation, Great Punishment, and Great Execution, erupted. They slammed into the Starlight Divine Spear, astonishingly blasting the enormous spear apart bit by bit.

A wild blast of air roared outward, causing Su Han’s robes to flutter fiercely, yet he remained completely unharmed.

His eyes flickered with a cold light as he stared at Qian Xuan, his voice booming like thunder.

”Is this the best you can do?”
