Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Silence!

At this moment, a deathly stillness pervaded heaven and earth. Everyone’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets as they stared in horror at the fallen Demon Swordsman. Before this battle, no one had thought the Demon Swordsman would die here. His strength was just too overwhelming. Not only was he at the Ninth Layer of the Supreme Realm, but he also possessed the Despair Sword Intent, and the swordsmanship he practiced was filled with a demonic nature, making him a leading contender for first place.

Yet, this formidable Demon Swordsman had not only been defeated but was now slain on the spot, reduced to a cold corpse. Even as they witnessed it all with their own eyes, the crowd still found it surreal, as if it were all a dream. This was the Demon Swordsman, after all. How could he possibly die here, especially at the hands of the Nineteenth Prince? This... this was simply inconceivable!

The crowd was struck with shock and remained unsettled for a long time. It wasn’t until Su Han waved his hand and collected the Demon Swordsman’s body into the Bronze Ring that a sharp intake of breath rippled through the onlookers, followed immediately by a tumultuous uproar.

"Oh my god, what did I just see? The Demon Swordsman is actually dead! How is this possible? I must be dreaming!"

"It can’t be! It just can’t be possible! The Demon Swordsman is so powerful, how could he die? He’s a man with the Demon Bloodline!"

"Can someone tell me what happened? How did the Demon Swordsman suddenly die? How did the Nineteenth Prince manage to do it? This is truly unbelievable!"

Amidst the clamor, the crowd was shaken, with cries of astonishment rising one after another. No one could accept this reality. At this moment, it wasn’t just the ordinary spectators; the many sword cultivator prodigies within the Pyramid battleground were also dumbstruck and utterly horrified.

"The Demon Swordsman was actually killed? How could this be?"

On the fifth Silver Stone Platform, the Yun Jin Holy Maiden’s mouth hung wide open in shock. The strength the Demon Swordsman had displayed before was so immense that it made her heart pound with fear, as if she were about to sink into deep despair. Yet, in the blink of an eye, the mighty Demon Swordsman had turned into a cold corpse. This huge contrast left her unable to accept it for a moment. What made it even harder for her to come to terms with was that the Demon Swordsman had died by Su Han’s hand. She already harbored resentment towards Su Han and didn’t wish for him to advance further. Now that the victor was Su Han, her mood plummeted to its lowest point.

Not far away, the Giant Que Saint Heir and the Heartless Holy Son felt similarly. However, the Giant Que Saint Heir was more upright in character and harbored no resentment toward Su Han; he was simply shocked by his strength.

"Yay, that’s great! I knew Mr. Su would definitely win!" On the ninetieth Stone Platform, Li Qingyue whooped with joy, her delicate face beaming with excitement, appearing even happier than when she had claimed the platform for herself.

Down on the ground, the spectator Li Mingliang also breathed a sigh of relief. With the Demon Swordsman dead, Su Han’s life was no longer in danger, even if he didn’t come in first place. That was already a good enough outcome.

"You managed to kill the Demon Swordsman. You truly didn’t betray the trust I placed in you!" Liu Xu had recovered from most of her injuries. Seeing the death of the Demon Swordsman, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, and her gaze toward Su Han was filled with anticipation. This Nineteenth Prince... he really is full of surprises!

The crowd buzzed with discussion, but at this time, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was filled with suspicion. The Demon Swordsman’s Black Demonic Flame seems to have been absorbed by something. Could it be a special treasure? Or was it due to the Demon Swordsman himself? Although the Deadly Sword Technique served as a cover, the Great Emperor still sensed an anomaly. However, he was too far away, and Su Han’s use of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art was extremely subtle, so he couldn’t be certain.

Nevertheless, the Nineteenth Prince had certainly given him a huge surprise, bringing a hint of joy to his eyes. The Demon Swordsman was dead, but the battle on the Golden Stone Platform was far from over. The Sword Lunatic and the Sword Maniac still remained, and their strength was not inferior to the Demon Swordsman’s. For Su Han to claim first place in this swordsmanship convention, there was still some difficulty ahead.

"Sword Lunatic, don’t make a move! Let me deal with him!" the Sword Maniac declared, his arrogant nature unchanged. He spoke to the Sword Lunatic before brandishing his sword and charging Su Han.

BOOM!

His Domain expanded, raising fierce winds. Each gust was a terrifying Sword Radiance. The Sword Maniac used the wind as his sword and madness as his intent, possessing immense power that wasn’t much inferior to the Demon Swordsman’s. Seeing Su Han slay the Demon Swordsman made alarm bells ring in his heart. He had no intention of relinquishing first place, so he had to deal with Su Han first before turning back to contend with the Sword Lunatic.

"Star Sky Domain!"

With his combat power still intact, Su Han immediately simulated the Star Sky Domain to collide with the Sword Maniac’s. A thunderous roar resounded, as if two great mountains were violently smashing into each other. But the Sword Maniac did not hold back. While the domains clashed, he immediately attacked again, launching powerful swordsmanship techniques at Su Han.

"Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Wind Roaring Heavenly Wave Slash!"

The Sword Maniac’s Sword Intent of Madness intensified the power of his swordsmanship. Using the wind as his sword, fierce gales coalesced into tidal waves that cleaved through space, shaking heaven and earth as they swept toward Su Han like a mighty storm.

"Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms: Moon Slash!"

Unfazed, Su Han gripped the Soul Severing Sword and executed the Moon Slash Sword Technique. Instantly, a bright, spinning moon of sword light formed, meeting the Sword Maniac’s onslaught with its cutting force.

RUMBLE!

The collision released a ferocious energy fluctuation, sending splashes of sword light scattering in all directions. Neither Su Han nor the Sword Maniac held back. They attacked with their full strength, unleashing thunderous roars that seemed to destroy everything.

"You’ve got some skills, no wonder you could slay the Demon Swordsman. But I’m not trash like him," the Sword Maniac sneered, as Sword Radiance burst forth from his body like a tempest. "Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Sword Storm!"

The Sword Maniac’s aura surged wildly as his Sword Intent of Madness erupted. He unleashed his Divine Power Technique, summoning thousands of sword lights that formed a storm a thousand meters wide. It loomed like a natural disaster, crashing down on Su Han with incredible force.

"Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms: Sun Annihilation!"

With the Soul Severing Sword in hand, Su Han conjured a black Sword Sun that rushed toward the Sword Maniac’s Divine Power Technique.

BOOM!

The strongest aspect of the black Sword Sun wasn’t its slash but its explosion. The black Sword Sun violently burst, transforming into endless sword light that created a massive collision with the Sword Storm. The entire Golden Stone Platform shook violently. Space cracked inch by inch, and a frightening destructive energy erupted, creating a shocking spectacle.

"One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"

At this moment, Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion, stepping forward to rapidly close the distance to the Sword Maniac. A six-meter-long Slaughter Sword Qi then roared out, slicing through the Domain and the storm of blades to strike the Sword Maniac’s body.

SPLAT!

The single strike left a bloody wound on the Sword Maniac’s body.

"Let’s join forces and make this quick!"

Just then, the Sword Lunatic, who had been watching from the side, could no longer hold back. He took action, teaming up with the Sword Maniac to quickly defeat Su Han.

And so, Su Han faced two opponents in the ultimate clash
