Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The Outbreak of Hidden Dangers

”This is the unparalleled Senior Brother Qian Xuan! With his Physique fused, who can possibly compete? Even the petty Su Han dreams of opposing Senior Brother Qian Xuan. It’s simply like a mayfly trying to shake a tree—utterly ludicrous.”

”That’s right! Senior Brother Qian Xuan, quickly crush this annoying fly! Kill him, and our Seven Stars Sect can return to its former peace instead of letting one rotten apple spoil the whole barrel.”

”Su Han is doomed! Senior Brother Qian Xuan is bound to win!”

The crowd was incredibly excited, their gleaming eyes fixated on the Stellar Seal, eager to witness it crush Su Han and end this life-and-death duel that held no suspense.

The Stellar Seal was incomparably powerful. Given Su Han’s current state, no one held out any hope for him. Not even Lu Yunxian and Lei Ming, who were sweating bullets on his behalf.

However, just as the Stellar Seal was about to strike Su Han, he suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Qian Xuan.

”Origin Technique: Star Shifting Technique!”

After fusing his Physique, Qian Xuan is extremely powerful. Even at full strength, I can barely handle him. That’s why I was waiting for an opportunity, and now it’s here!

In an instant, Su Han gave Qian Xuan a taste of his own medicine. He swapped places with him, not only dodging the Stellar Seal but also forcing Qian Xuan to face the full might of his own descending attack.

Qian Xuan clearly hadn’t anticipated such a move and was unable to react in time. His own Stellar Seal was already too close to evade.

BOOM!

The Stellar Seal, ten meters across, descended like a massive millstone or a great hall, carrying infinite power as it slammed viciously into Qian Xuan.

BANG!

A figure plummeted from the sky, shooting downward and crashing violently onto the Central Square.

Before the disciples could even react, the ground of the square cracked open, thick fissures spreading rapidly like a spiderweb. The earth shook, and a terrifying blast of energy swept through like a storm, instantly sending many disciples flying back, vomiting blood with serious injuries.

This abrupt turn of events shocked everyone. The disciples were horrified, and in the sky above, Mu Qingyun and the others froze, their faces masks of disbelief.

At that moment, Su Han broke free from the magnetic field’s restraint, regaining his freedom.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Su Han clenched his left fist, which shone brilliantly like a miniature golden sun. All forty pieces of the Great Luo Golden Bone were activated, filling the air with the aura of Vajra Undying. He quickly executed the Character Technique of Motion, diving down like a comet striking the earth as he aimed for the center of the square.

Strike him while he’s down! Having been hit by his own Stellar Seal, Qian Xuan must be severely injured. This is my only chance to secure victory and kill him.

”Nine Heavens Eye, open!”

Divine Sense surged, converging at the center of his brow and quickly forming the Nine Heavens Eye. Although Su Han had only cultivated the First Layer, it was enough to see through some illusions and perceive the truth.

Amid the swirling dust, a human-shaped crater marred the ground. Inside lay Qian Xuan, his hair disheveled and his star-patterned robe stained with blood. His face was deathly pale as he coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood. He had clearly sustained an unprecedentedly severe injury.

Now’s the time!

Su Han shot down fiercely, his Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist smashing down with overwhelming force. The crowd watched as a Golden Fist Radiance descended from above like a divine arrow shot from the heavens, meant to slay demons and punish evil.

”No!”

From inside the crater, Qian Xuan saw Su Han’s lethal punch, and his face turned ashen. He rapidly activated his Stellar Magnetism Primordial Body and used the Origin Technique of Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction. At the same time, he pulled a Defensive Magic Shield from his Storage Ring, along with several Defensive Talismans, constructing a hasty line of defense.

BOOM!

The Golden Fist Radiance slammed into the Defensive Magic Shield and Defensive Talismans. The barrier of light trembled violently before exploding, unleashing a devastating wave of destruction that spread like an apocalyptic tide, flinging the surrounding disciples away.

”Run for your lives!”

At that moment, the disciples fled in panic, terrified of being caught in the crossfire. Mu Qingyun’s expression darkened as he acted swiftly, isolating the battlefield between Su Han and Qian Xuan to prevent other disciples from being injured.

COUGH, COUGH!

Qian Xuan swiftly pulled himself from the human-shaped crater, continuously coughing up blood. He looked utterly wretched, a far cry from the divine air he had carried before. His chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with a thick gloom. An intense killing intent erupted from his body, so palpable it seemed to solidify, causing the temperature to plummet to freezing.

”You dare to trick me!”

Qian Xuan’s handsome face was now a twisted mask of fury, veins bulging on his neck as he glared at Su Han, his eyes filled with boundless rage and hatred. He had considered every possibility but never imagined Su Han had such a move up his sleeve, forcing him to take his own full-powered Stellar Seal.

When he unleashed the Stellar Seal, he had been aiming to kill, so he had held nothing back. But during the Star Shifting Technique, he was completely defenseless, forced to endure the blow with little more than his Physical Body. If not for the resilience of his Stellar Magnetism Primordial Body, that single strike might have killed him. Although he was still alive, his injuries were severe. He couldn’t even maintain his Physique Fusion and had less than a tenth of his strength remaining.

”I don’t just dare to trick you, I dare to kill you!”

Su Han executed the Character Technique of Motion, his speed becoming inconceivably fast. With no time to retrieve his Black Blade, he directly controlled the Demonic Blood Taoist Calabash, sending a hundred-meter river of blood surging toward Qian Xuan.

”Stellar Sand!”

Qian Xuan waved his hand, and the one thousand and eighty grains of Stellar Sand flew out again, forming a screen to resist the corrosive blood river.

But Su Han was already pressing closer. He rapidly unleashed cold qi and True Flame, using his Divine Sense to expertly coordinate the two opposing energies as they blasted toward Qian Xuan.

”One Mysteries True Fire!”

”Origin Technique: Netherworld Cold Tide!”

”Ice-Fire Dual Realms!”

Qian Xuan quickly stuffed some Healing Pills into his mouth, simultaneously channeling his remaining Spiritual Energy to defend against the Ice-Fire Dual Realms. But he was already grievously injured, and even after taking Dao Grade Healing Pills, Su Han refused to give him a moment’s respite.

”Invincible Tao Xin!”

”Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!”

Su Han attacked again, suppressing his opponent with an invincible aura while simulating the deafening roar of a celestial dragon.

BANG, BANG, BANG!

Su Han gave it his all, squeezing out every last wisp of Demonic Qi and every ounce of potential, vowing to seize this opportunity to kill Qian Xuan and win the life-and-death duel.

Qian Xuan’s Physique Fusion was broken, and he had been severely wounded by his own Stellar Seal. One wrong move had led to a cascade of failures. Facing Su Han’s ferocious, storm-like assault, he could only retreat again and again as his injuries grew progressively worse.

The scene silenced everyone, both on the ground and in the sky. Could the invincible Senior Brother Qian Xuan truly be defeated like this?

Suddenly, Su Han’s expression stiffened and his movements grew sluggish. Then, he plummeted from mid-air, collapsing to the ground where he began to convulse in agony.

PUH!

Su Han spat out a mouthful of blood, but it wasn’t red; it was black.

After successively devouring Yun Mokong and the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord to forcefully advance his Realm, his body had been left with a substantial amount of impurities. Now, that hidden danger had finally erupted.

With a life-and-death battle raging without and a critical flaw erupting from within, Su Han was pushed into a truly desperate situation.
