Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Silence!

At this moment, the world fell into an eerie quiet. Su Han, like a demon or an emperor, stood with his foot on Zi Qiong, frozen into an eternal tableau. This scene was deeply branded into the hearts of every person, shocking and frightening them.

Who was Zi Qiong? She was a prestigious figure on the Prodigy Rankings, a prodigy of the Zi Mansion Holy Land, and one of the Tian Lou Saint’s followers. These titles alone were enough to prove her noble status.

At this moment, no one could connect the bloodied, pitiable figure under Su Han’s foot with the lofty prodigy of the Holy Land. It was too shocking! Too horrifying! Too inconceivable!

Even after Zi Qiong unsealed her cultivation, she was still no match for Su Han. She was thoroughly defeated, trampled underfoot. This proved that in a battle between those of the same realm, she was simply not his opponent.

And now, Su Han stood over her, returning the very words she had first spoken to him.

”Hierarchy? I only believe in the power in my hands! I am a demon, destined to slay all enemies in this world!”

”You… you…” Zi Qiong’s eyes looked as if they would split with rage, her face contorted fiercely as she glared at Su Han. Before she could finish her sentence, she was overcome with fury and fainted.

With that, the great battle finally ended.

”Su Han, you’ve gone too far! Release Miss Zi Qiong at once!” a furious shout erupted from Ye Chuanfeng. He teleported over instantly and waved his hand, unleashing a torrent of energy that sent Su Han flying. Su Han’s face paled as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his Physique Fusion state shattering.

However, Ye Chuanfeng had no time to worry about Su Han. His eyes trembled with shock as he gazed at the heavily injured and unconscious Zi Qiong. His heart sank and his limbs turned ice-cold.

Miss Zi Qiong was a follower of the Tian Lou Saint. After this humiliating defeat, she would surely hold a grudge. When that happened, forget about getting Su Han to follow the Tian Lou Saint—even he himself would likely be implicated.

I should have stopped this from the very beginning. Ye Chuanfeng despised Su Han to death. Now that it has come to this, how can I possibly clean up this mess?

Ye Chuanfeng quickly took out Healing Pills and fed them to Zi Qiong, then used his overwhelming Spiritual Energy to keep her injuries from worsening. But this time, Zi Qiong was too severely wounded. She needed immediate medical attention and recovery, or she could suffer permanent consequences.

SWISH!

Ignoring everyone else, Ye Chuanfeng hastily departed with the heavily injured and unconscious Zi Qiong. At this moment, her safety was more important than anything else.

”Su Han, let’s go!” Thunder Light quickly appeared at Su Han’s side. He could see how much Ye Chuanfeng valued Zi Qiong. With both the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign and Qin Wushuang still here, lingering any longer could be dangerous.

CRACK!

Grabbing Su Han and giving no one a chance to react, Thunder Light transformed into a streak of lightning that tore through the sky, vanishing from sight.

Watching the retreating figures of Thunder Light and Su Han, the crowd was shaken, and it took a long time for them to calm down. The spectacle of today’s battles had far exceeded their expectations.

Initially, the crowd had only come to see the life-and-death duel between the brothers Su Han and Su Tian. They never expected Su Tian to be so hopelessly outmatched, completely suppressed by Su Han from beginning to end before being slain, his body and cultivation destroyed.

With Su Tian dead, everyone thought the fighting was over and was about to head home. But then Zi Qiong had unexpectedly entered the fray for a second duel. Her strength was undeniable, showcasing the innate talent and power of a prodigy from the Prodigy Rankings.

Unfortunately, she still lost in the end. She was trampled under Su Han’s foot, severely injured and unconscious. If not for Ye Chuanfeng’s timely intervention, her life might have been in danger.

Su Han versus Su Tian, Su Han against Zi Qiong—these two grand battles had thoroughly satisfied the spectators’ craving for action and deeply etched the image of Su Han’s power and invincibility into their minds.

”That was absolutely thrilling! I can’t believe Su Han is that strong. Not only did he slay Su Tian, but he even defeated Miss Zi Qiong! She’s a prodigy from a Holy Land, a major figure on the Prodigy Rankings!”

”Indeed! Who says a small place can’t produce a genius? Today, Su Han showed us what it means to triumph over fate. He is now, without a doubt, the number one prodigy in our Qingmo Province.”

”Su Han is only sixteen or seventeen. I can’t even imagine how powerful he’ll become in a few more years. I feel he’s destined for Instant Sanctification, and maybe even the Great Emperor Realm isn’t out of reach for him.”

Inside Qingmo City, discussions abounded. The fickle crowd now praised Su Han and treated him as their idol. The two great battles today had completely vindicated him.

However, this praise was incredibly jarring to Wang Tianqing. His face was ashen and his eyes were clouded with darkness. His heart churned with intense resentment and murderous intent.

He’s growing too fast. If this continues, I fear I won’t even be a match for him. I can’t give him any more opportunities. Even if it means emptying the national treasury, I have to have the Demon Slayer Sect kill him! There was no regret in Wang Tianqing’s heart, only a vehement desire to kill. He had already made his mistake, so he might as well follow this dark path to the end. Su Han had to die!

Wang Tianqing quickly left Qingmo City. He was going to find an assassin from the Demon Slayer Sect. This time, Su Han’s death had to be certain.

What Holy Land prodigy? Just a bunch of useless trash. I can’t rely on others any longer. I must take matters into my own hands, find an opportunity, and kill him in one strike! The Great Qian King shared the same sentiment. He stared fixedly in the direction Su Han had fled, his killing intent growing stronger instead of diminishing. The more of a monster Su Han became, the more urgent it was to eliminate him. Delays would only create more problems, making revenge harder to achieve. The Great Qian King’s eyes darted about as he devised one plan after another.

High above in the sky, the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign and Qin Wushuang had not yet left. The outcome of the battle between Su Han and Zi Qiong had surprised them as well, and Thunder Light’s reaction had been so swift that the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign had no time to pursue and kill them.

The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign gazed toward the direction Su Han had disappeared, his eyes brimming with chilling coldness and a powerful murderous intent. ”Today has not been entirely bad for us,” he said.

”Ye Chuanfeng originally intended for Su Han to ride the coattails of the Tian Lou Saint. But Su Han not only defeated Zi Qiong, he also trampled her underfoot. I don’t think the Tian Lou Saint will accept him now. In fact, he might even be displeased by this, which is good news for us.

”Without the threat of the Tian Lou Saint, even Ye Chuanfeng won’t be able to protect him!”

What the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign feared most was not Ye Chuanfeng, but the Tian Lou Saint. With that shield gone, there would be plenty of opportunities to make a move on Su Han.

”Let’s head back,” the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign grinned, revealing his stark white teeth, then turned and headed back to Mozhou. ”I imagine it won’t be long before we hear some good news from the Seven Stars Sect!”

Qin Wushuang heard the Demon Sovereign’s words and trusted his judgment. But Su Tian’s death still filled him with an uncontrollable rage, and his desire to kill Su Han had become so intense he could barely contain it.

”Su Han, I swear I won’t rest until you are dead!”
