Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: This Strike, Sends You to the West

”Impossible! Brother Qian Xuan is a deity descended to earth. How could he possibly die here?”

”No, I must be hallucinating! How could that despicable villain Su Han ever be a match for Brother Qian Xuan? This has to be fake.”

”Pierced between the brows... How can that be? That point connects to the Sea of Consciousness! Once it’s breached, consciousness collapses. Not even the gods could save him!”

Qian Xuan’s glabella had been pierced by the Nine Heavens Divine Light, and in an instant, countless people screamed, unable to accept this reality.

However, high above in the firmament, Mu Qingyun, Qin Wushuang, and the others were not shocked at all. They seemed entirely unworried about Qian Xuan being killed.

Hmm?

At this moment, Su Han also frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Qian Xuan. He sensed that Qian Xuan’s life force was still present. It had not been extinguished by the Nine Heavens Divine Light.

A dark-colored Spirit Shield floated out from between Qian Xuan’s brows. The shield was semi-corporeal, containing a rich spiritual aura, but it was now covered in cracks. The moment it appeared, it shattered into fragments.

A Soul Jade?

The familiar aura from the dark-colored Spirit Shield reminded Su Han of Su Tian’s Soul Jade. Back then, Su Tian had relied on that very thing to preserve his soul. This Spirit Shield was also a treasure forged from Soul Jade. Qian Xuan hadn’t died because this Spirit Shield had blocked the Nine Heavens Divine Light!

”Damn you! You actually destroyed my Soul-Protecting Law Shield! I’ll make sure you die without a grave!”

Qian Xuan’s face was deathly pale, his heart still pounding with lingering fear. If not for the Soul-Protecting Law Shield, he truly would have been pierced through and killed by the Nine Heavens Divine Light. This realization filled him with a furious, surging killing intent. Su Han had injured him time and time again, even coming close to killing him. He could no longer suppress the murderous rage in his heart.

He decided to go all out and crush this annoying fly.

”Physique Fusion—I am the heavens!”

With a thunderous roar, Qian Xuan’s body erupted in starlight, rendering the surrounding world into a starry nightscape. At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Physique, which had a hole punched through it by the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, had fully recovered. It descended rapidly, merging as one with Qian Xuan.

The most powerful method in the Physique Realm is Physique Fusion, which can dramatically increase one’s strength. However, this technique also damages both the Physique and the physical body, so it is a last resort not to be used lightly. At this point, Qian Xuan’s patience with Su Han had run out. Consumed by the single-minded desire to kill him swiftly, he unleashed his ultimate technique.

BOOM!

With the Physique Fusion complete, Qian Xuan’s aura skyrocketed. Rich starlight billowed like a tide, flooding the heavens and the earth. The terrifying pressure, like stars falling from the sky, made one’s scalp tingle and face pale with fright. At this moment, Qian Xuan was comparable to a practitioner at the second or third layer of the Physique Realm, his strength far more terrifying than before.

”Su Han, forcing me to use the Physique Fusion technique is an honor you can take to your grave!”

Qian Xuan stood astride the cosmos, his eyes blazing with light. He looked down upon Su Han as a god would an ant, his presence incomparably majestic.

”Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Seven-Star Consecutive Beads!”

Surging with starlight, Qian Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword and gestured toward Su Han. In an instant, endless starlight condensed to form The Big Dipper, but these seven stars were linked in a line, forming a divine arrow that could pierce through the universe. The divine arrow shot out with a whistle, flying rapidly toward Su Han. Even using the Character Technique of Motion, Su Han failed to evade it and was struck true.

The Starry Moon Armor was like paper, offering no resistance to the sharpness of the Seven-Star Consecutive Beads. Su Han’s shoulder was pierced through, sending blood spurting as a bloody hole was torn open. With a single strike, Su Han was seriously injured.

”Origin Technique—Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!”

Qian Xuan attacked again. The magnetic field reappeared, now fused with starlight, enveloping the area. This made the space unbearably heavy and thick as mud. A powerful magnetic force descended upon Su Han, pulling him closer to Qian Xuan. After the Physique Fusion, Qian Xuan’s strength had multiplied, as if he were a completely different person. Su Han felt an unprecedented pressure.

”Phenomenon: Dual Black Holes!”

Su Han unleashed his Phenomenon to counteract the magnetic force, but he could only alleviate the pressure slightly and was unable to break free completely.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Clenching his left hand into a fist and holding his blade in his right, Su Han launched both attacks at Qian Xuan simultaneously.

The Golden Fist Radiance was earth-shattering, and the thunderbolt blade qi was unstoppable. But in his current state, Qian Xuan was even stronger.

With a gentle wave of the starlight-condensed jade Ruyi in his hand, a river of stars instantly spanned the sky, appearing as if it were formed from billions of stars. It easily blocked both the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist and the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. Then, with another sweep of his hand, Qian Xuan sent a second river of stars hurtling toward Su Han. Its edge was razor-sharp, like a god wielding a blade to cleave the very heavens in two.

Su Han’s expression changed as he infused the frigid Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi into his Black Blade, wreathing it in a chilling, otherworldly Demonic Qi.

”Heaven and Earth Slash!”

Facing Qian Xuan’s furious, killing blow, Su Han dared not be careless. He unleashed his strongest slash, empowered by his Invincible Tao Xin and catalyzed by the Character Technique of Combat. The power of this strike was unprecedented, as if heaven and earth themselves could not withstand it and were about to be sundered.

BOOM!

The blade radiance and the river of stars collided, sending sparks flying like brilliant fireworks. The terrifying shockwave was like an apocalyptic tide, instantly blasting the surrounding air into a vacuum. This horrifying ripple of power made the disciples in the square watch with faces full of terror, feeling a sense of utter despair. They knew that if they were in the middle of that battle, they would be killed without a doubt.

CLANG!

With the sharp sound of clashing metal, Su Han’s Black Blade was sent flying high into the air. Su Han himself staggered, violently spitting up blood. If not for the magnetic field holding him in place, he would have been sent flying backward to crash into the ground.

After the Physique Fusion, Qian Xuan was simply not someone Su Han could resist. A casual attack had placed him under immense pressure, and this last blow had knocked the Black Blade from his hand, leaving him heavily wounded and vomiting blood.

”With this strike, I’ll send you to your grave!” Qian Xuan sneered, his killing intent palpable.

His hands fluttered as his ten fingers moved in a blur. Endless starlight and an intense magnetic force rapidly gathered between his palms, finally forming an incredibly profound seal suffused with Dao Rhyme. This seal was like a miniature star, radiating endless starlight and emitting a powerful magnetism. The moment it was unleashed, it seemed to demand the submission of all spirits.

”Stellar Seal, go!”

With a flip of his hand, Qian Xuan slammed the Stellar Seal toward Su Han. This strike contained his spiritual energy, the magnetic force of his Stellar Magnetism Primordial Body, and the power of his Heaven and Earth Physique. Its might was so great it could easily annihilate a mountain thousands of feet high. At this moment, with his Black Blade gone and his body severely wounded, Su Han was trapped by the magnetic field and powerless to escape. He could only watch helplessly as the Stellar Seal descended upon him.

”Su Han!” Lu Yunxian’s heart tightened as she cried out in alarm, wishing she could die in his place.

”Boss!” Ning Feifan’s eyes were bloodshot, looking as if they would tear from their sockets in anguish.

At this moment, as the Stellar Seal fell, Su Han faced a crisis of life and death.
