Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Having attained his current strength, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was naturally a top-tier Sword Cultivator genius. He had read countless books on the path of the sword, practiced innumerable types of swordsmanship, and had even synthesized the strengths of hundreds of schools to create his own signature technique, ”One Sword Ascends to Immortality.”

His judgment was naturally profound, allowing him to see through many forms of swordsmanship at a glance. The swordsmanship Su Han now displayed, however, had traces of the Myriad Swords Sect, yet it was different in a way the Flying Immortal Great Emperor couldn’t quite pinpoint. Moreover, he sensed a special Law Breath within it. Although the Law Breath was extremely faint and he could not be certain, the swordsmanship was definitely extraordinary.

Could it be a secret technique of the Myriad Swords Sect?

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor speculated in his heart. Although he lived deep within the Myriad Virtual Realm, he was keenly aware of all affairs, major and minor, within the Heavenly Sword Dynasty. He had long been informed about the Nineteenth Prince in greater detail than anyone else, and he had also completely figured out the identities and origins of Li Qingyue and Li Mingliang. Therefore, he already knew that Su Han cultivated the Myriad Swords Sect’s ”Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique.” Given his strength and status, he was interested in this swordsmanship but felt no urgency. Thus, he had not rushed Su Han to present the cultivation technique.

At this moment, it wasn’t just the Flying Immortal Great Emperor observing Su Han; many others were also paying close attention. The crowd was abuzz, astonished by his strength. As a favorite to win the championship, he naturally attracted a great deal of attention.

”The Nineteenth Prince truly lives up to his reputation! To face two opponents alone and still hold the upper hand... It seems the combined force of the Eighth Prince and Thirteenth Princess cannot stop him.”

”The Eighth Prince and Thirteenth Princess were defeated by the Nineteenth Prince at the Mount Hua Sword Conference, so they’ve definitely come for revenge. You can see their Realms have improved significantly, but they’re unstable—they’ve clearly used some Secret Technique. It’s a pity that even after boosting their Realms, they are still no match for the Nineteenth Prince.”

”How on earth does the Nineteenth Prince cultivate? His Realm has also improved with incredible speed, yet it shows no signs of instability. His foundation is obviously solid. It’s simply unbelievable!”

”I’m tired of wasting time with you!” Su Han said. He took a single step, unleashing a burst of Spatial Force that temporarily sealed the space around the Thirteenth Princess. Immediately, his Starry Sky Sword Domain erupted, suppressing the princess’s own Domain.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!” Su Han once again deployed the Divine Method. His Slaughter Sword Intent surged forth, approaching like an Asura, causing the Thirteenth Princess’s pretty face to pale and throwing her Heart Spirit into turmoil. At the same time, Yin Energy burst from the Soul Severing Sword, a bone-deep chill that penetrated the soul, as if one strike could freeze a person into an ice sculpture. Coupled with the Lifebound Sword Qi that Su Han had nurtured for a long time, this single strike shattered the Thirteenth Princess’s Domain and collided with her Green Jade Holy Sword.

CLANG! The Thirteenth Princess lost her grip, and the Green Jade Holy Sword flew from her grasp. Simultaneously, Su Han slashed his sword across the sky, aiming for her neck.

”Not good!” The Thirteenth Princess felt her hair stand on end as she sensed an intense, mortal threat. Her eyes widened, her mind reeling in shock. Is Nineteenth Brother actually trying to kill me?

She frantically circulated her Spiritual Energy while pulling out Defensive Treasures and Defensive Talismans from her Storage Ring, trying to block the strike. However, the power of Saints was restricted within the Pyramid battlefield. She couldn’t activate the Saint Treasures in her Storage Ring, and these ordinary items were incapable of withstanding the sharp edge of the Soul Severing Sword. With a flash of the blade, all the Defensive Dao Artifacts and Defensive Talismans were sliced through. Nothing could stop it.

Finally, the Soul Severing Sword swiftly approached like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, carrying with it a life-reaping aura. The Thirteenth Princess’s pupils shrank in absolute terror.

”Nineteenth Brother, do you dare to kill me?” the Thirteenth Princess screamed, trying to force Su Han to back down. This was the Pyramid battlefield, watched by thousands below, with the Flying Immortal Great Emperor himself observing. She and her nineteenth brother shared the same father, though not the same mother. From any perspective, he shouldn’t—and wouldn’t dare—kill her.

Unfortunately, Su Han’s eyes showed only cold indifference, entirely unmoved by her words. The Soul Severing Sword’s momentum remained unabated, further empowered by an intense Slaughter Sword Intent as it landed squarely on her delicate, fair neck.

The sharp blade sliced through her tender skin. In a flash, a bloodline as thin as a hair appeared on her neck. At that moment, the terror in the Thirteenth Princess’s heart peaked. She stared at Su Han in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

He dares to kill me? He actually dares to kill me in front of everyone and Father? How... how is this possible! Is he not afraid of Father’s wrath and punishment?

Her mind was filled with questions, but sadly, she would never receive the answers. Her head slid from her neck, followed by a spray of crimson blood. With her head and body separated, her life force rapidly faded. She was dead. As for the Great Emperor’s Seal in her Sea of Consciousness, it had failed to activate due to the restrictions of the Pyramid battlefield.

”How is this possible?” Seeing this, the charging Eighth Prince turned pale with horror. He stared at the Thirteenth Princess’s corpse in utter disbelief. The outcome was beyond his expectations and shattered his perception of reality.

Nineteenth Brother actually dared to kill someone—and he killed our thirteenth sister right in front of Father! It’s incredible. Has he gone mad?

A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head, making the Eighth Prince’s entire body go rigid and his limbs turn to ice. He had never imagined he might die here. At worst, he expected defeat and elimination, but the Thirteenth Princess’s cold corpse was a brutal reality check.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!” Just then, Su Han, having slain the Thirteenth Princess, showed no signs of stopping. His figure flickered as he executed the Character Technique of Motion, abruptly turning on the Eighth Prince. The Soul Severing Sword traced a beautiful, death-filled arc through the air as it shot straight for him. He had just killed the Thirteenth Princess, and now he was trying to kill the Eighth Prince, too.

I can’t die! The instinct for survival snapped the Eighth Prince out of his shock. He gritted his teeth and drew his sword, attempting to block the strike and find a chance to flee. He was scared—truly scared. He no longer dared to think of revenge; he only wanted to get away from the madman, Su Han.

Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince had overestimated his own strength. His Dragon Patterned Black Gold Sword could not block the Soul Severing Sword. The surging Slaughter Sword Qi, like a strike from the God of Slaughter himself, pierced straight through his Domain. It tore through his layers of protection before stabbing into his heart.

One sword through the heart, and the Eighth Prince was dead.
