Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 115: Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes
The Sect Grand Competition and the life-and-death duel were over, but the storm they had stirred had yet to subside.
The Grand Competition, which in previous years was the talk of the town, now garnered no interest. Everyone was more interested in discussing the life-and-death duel and the three-month pact.
All these topics focused on a single person: Su Han.
"That Su Han is so arrogant and clueless, daring to defy Senior Brother Qian Xuan. I curse him to a miserable death!"
"Does he really think delaying for three months will give him a chance to fight Senior Brother Qian Xuan? He’s truly courting death. In three months, I must personally witness his demise at Senior Brother Qian Xuan’s hands!"
"Senior Brother Qian Xuan is an invincible existence. Who in all of Qingzhou can contend with him? Su Han is as good as dead!"
Almost every disciple of the Seven Stars Sect fervently worshiped Qian Xuan, and they all cursed and berated Su Han, causing his reputation to stink to high heaven.
This rage was especially intense on Tianxuan Peak. Since Su Han had previously overpowered the entire peak by himself, killed Qian Yuan, and offended Qian Xuan, the disciples of Tianxuan Peak viewed him as an unforgivable villain.
However, Qian Xuan was not on Tianxuan Peak at this time but had gone deep beneath it.
Qin Wushuang arrived with his hands clasped behind his back, activating one Spiritual Formation after another. He led Qian Xuan down into the depths, over a thousand meters underground, until they finally arrived at a secret chamber.
The Spiritual Energy here was so dense it could not dissipate, filling the entire chamber until it was viscous enough to drip Spiritual Liquid.
The Seven Stars Sect occupied an entire intermediate-grade Spirit Vein, and this secret chamber was built right on top of it.
The seven Spirit Peaks each occupied a branch of the vein, and every peak had its own secret chamber carved out specifically for cultivation.
The density of Spiritual Energy here was thirty times that of the outside world. A single breath was enough to make one’s entire body feel relaxed, as if one were an immortal floating on air.
"Qian Xuan, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. A month ago, I never thought Qian Yuan could be defeated, but it happened. I don’t want any accidents in three months. That’s why I’ve opened this Cultivation Secret Chamber for you. I hope you can break through to the Physique Realm within this time," Qin Wushuang stated solemnly, his gaze intense as he placed his great hopes on Qian Xuan.
Having learned a bitter lesson from Qian Yuan’s defeat, he dared not underestimate Su Han again.
Although Qian Xuan was currently far stronger than Su Han, no one knew what accidents might occur in three months. Reaching the Physique Realm would be a much safer bet. He believed that no matter how monstrously talented Su Han was, he couldn’t possibly catch up to Qian Xuan within three months. Once Qian Xuan entered the Physique Realm, Su Han’s death was assured.
"Rest assured, Master. I have already touched the threshold of the Physique Realm. With this Cultivation Secret Chamber, I won’t even need the full three months to successfully break through. When that time comes, I will certainly kill Su Han to avenge you and my brother!" Qian Xuan declared, his heart swelling with murderous intent and absolute confidence.
If I can’t kill Su Han even after breaking through to the Physique Realm, I might as well find a block of tofu and kill myself with it.
"Cultivate well. In three months, I will look forward to your performance!" Qin Wushuang patted Qian Xuan on the shoulder, then turned and departed, leaving the Cultivation Secret Chamber to him.

In a certain part of the Seven Stars Sect’s back mountain stood a simple and primitive wooden house with nothing special about it.
This was Liu Rumei’s residence. Her solitary and reclusive nature meant she preferred to be alone, so she had built this wooden house to live in solitude.
Of course, that was in the past. Now with Lu Yunxian, she focused more of her Heart Spirit on this precious disciple.
Possessing the same Qingmu Spirit Body and a gentle disposition, Lu Yunxian was someone she was extremely fond of. Even as a Supreme Realm powerhouse, finding a disciple who truly met her expectations wasn’t easy. Lu Yunxian’s appearance felt like a blessing from the heavens, so she cared for her deeply.
"I have a technique called the Myriad Wood Condensing Bead. It uses one’s body as a furnace to absorb the essence of countless woods and condense a green bead filled with abundant vitality. It can allow a person to instantly recover from any injury!"
Lu Yunxian’s brows were furrowed, her face etched with worry. Liu Rumei knew she was concerned about the life-and-death duel between Su Han and Qian Xuan three months from now. She sighed and spoke up.
Myriad Wood Condensing Bead? Instant recovery from injuries! Hearing Liu Rumei’s words, Lu Yunxian’s beautiful eyes lit up with joy.
If she could condense a green bead for Su Han, he would have a much greater means of survival. He might even be able to gain the upper hand in the life-and-death duel, or perhaps even achieve victory.
"However, this technique is difficult to cultivate. Using your own body as a furnace will deplete your Qingmu Spirit Body’s Origin Source. Your Origin Source was already damaged, and you’ve only just managed to recover a bit. If you condense the green bead, all your recent arduous cultivation will have been for nothing."
Liu Rumei originally had not wanted to reveal the Myriad Wood Condensing Bead, but she couldn’t bear to watch Lu Yunxian looking so sorrowful, worrying day and night.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely work hard to cultivate it!"
Lu Yunxian paid no mind to her own Origin Source; her thoughts were solely on Su Han’s safety.
As long as I can protect Little Han, I won’t hesitate even to give my life.
Liu Rumei sighed and helplessly imparted the Myriad Wood Condensing Bead to Lu Yunxian. After reading the details carefully and cultivating diligently, she soon grasped the basics.
Little Han, I will definitely condense the green bead!
Lu Yunxian’s gaze was firm, her heart filled with boundless motivation.

Yaoguang Peak was as desolate and dilapidated as ever, but with the addition of Su Han and Ning Feifan, it now had a bit more life.
"Boss, you’re just too cool! That Qian Yuan couldn’t beat you even after fusing with the Supreme Arm. My admiration for you is like a great river, flowing endlessly!"
Ning Feifan was still immersed in excitement, chattering nonstop. His gaze toward Su Han was filled with thrill and reverence. While others idolized Qian Xuan, Ning Feifan saw Su Han as his boss. In his mind, Su Han was the strongest. Forget Qian Yuan—he was certain Su Han would even win the life-and-death duel against Qian Xuan in three months.
"Su Han, follow me!"
Lei Ming called out, and Su Han immediately followed him into the Heavenly Thunder Palace at the peak’s summit.
Lei Ming was very pleased with Su Han, but he didn’t share Ning Feifan’s absolute confidence regarding the life-and-death duel with Qian Xuan.
"Su Han, your innate talent is very high, and the cultivation technique you practice is also quite unique. I can’t offer you much guidance on that. However, since you also wield a blade, I plan to pass my ultimate technique on to you. I hope you can maintain your undefeated record three months from now!"
Lei Ming had long pondered Su Han’s cultivation, but after careful observation, he realized there was nothing he could teach him. Thus, he had refrained from offering misguided advice, simply supporting Su Han’s cultivation in every way he could.
But this time was different. Qian Xuan was not Qian Yuan. He was the foremost prodigy of the Seven Stars Sect and the number one fighter on the Qingyun Ranking. Lei Ming felt uncertain about the duel three months later, so after much consideration, he decided to impart his ultimate technique.
"My ultimate technique is an Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique called the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. It has seven forms. Within these three months, I will help you master the first three!"
Lei Ming held nothing back, passing the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes to Su Han.
At this very moment, everyone was preparing for the life-and-death duel three months away.
Three months hence, a heaven-shaking battle was destined to unfold.
