Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 137: Killing with One Strike

"What?"

The huge commotion drew the attention of the other four, and they all turned to look. When they saw the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord had been defeated with a single punch, everyone was shocked.

"Impossible! That kid is just in the Heavenly Human Realm! How could he defeat the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord? Even a two-realm advantage wouldn’t be enough!"

The Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord couldn’t accept this fact. If the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was defeated, the situation would reverse yet again.

He was completely baffled. The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was a mighty Sixth-Layer Phenomenon Realm cultivator and had cultivated the terrifying Shadow Kill Demon Codex. Even if she was careless and underestimated her enemy, she shouldn’t have lost, and certainly not so miserably.

"He managed to defeat the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord?" Yun Mokong’s eyes bulged with shock and disbelief.

He had always looked down on Su Han. Moreover, because of Tongyan, he was filled with hostility and murderous intent toward him. He had assumed that when the great battle broke out, Su Han would be the first to be killed. But now, not only was Su Han still alive, he had defeated the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord.

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord is a True Disciple of the Heavenly Demon Cult, with strength not much different from my own. And Su Han is merely in the Heavenly Human Realm. How could he possibly win? If he won, wouldn’t that prove I’m not as good as him?

Yun Mokong’s pride made it impossible for him to accept this reality. A fire of jealousy and resentment toward Su Han erupted in his heart.

You’re just an ant from the Heavenly Human Realm! Why do you get Tongyan’s favor? Why do you possess such strength? I will kill you! I’ll crush you like an ant!

Jealousy twisted Yun Mokong’s mind, and his once-handsome face contorted, becoming as hideous as an evil demon’s.

On the other side, Tongyan was pleasantly surprised.

"We haven’t seen each other in two months, and I didn’t expect you to have become so strong. As expected, you haven’t let me down."

Back in the Tianqing Dynasty, Tongyan had felt that Su Han was different. It wasn’t because of his Physique, talent, or Combat Power, but because of a special tenacity—he was indomitable, like a cockroach that just wouldn’t die.

To become a powerful expert, talent, opportunity, and strength are all important, but Tongyan believed the most crucial factor was a person’s mental fortitude.

Throughout history, there have been individuals with exceptional talents who faded into mediocrity, and those with steadfast Dao Hearts who rose against the current.

Talent determines a person’s starting point, but it’s their mental fortitude that truly dictates how far they can go.

With a firm resolve, one can rise from adversity and grow strong from failure. Su Han possessed this rare fortitude.

It now seemed Tongyan’s assessment was quite accurate. In just three months, since having his Dragon Soul stolen and becoming a cripple, Su Han had risen against the tide, creating one miracle after another. Now, he had come so far that even the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was no match for him.

Tongyan felt no jealousy like Yun Mokong, only sincere admiration and praise.

Opposite Tongyan, the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord’s face darkened, his eyes clouded with dissatisfaction over the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s defeat.

"Yinsha, if you dare ruin my plans, I will freeze you into an ice sculpture and exile you for all eternity!" the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord’s voice was cold, like a ten-thousand-year-old arctic wind, freezing one to the marrow and making their hair stand on end.

BOOM!

Rocks flew through the air as Demonic Qi surged. A figure burst out from the pile of debris—it was the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord.

Though Su Han’s punch was strong, it was still not quite enough to kill her.

But the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was in a dreadful state. Her black robe was tattered, and a deep fist imprint on her chest marked where several of her bones had been broken. Her face was ashen, blood constantly spilled from her mouth, and her aura was feeble to the extreme.

That single punch had severely injured her, halving her strength and stripping her of her former might.

"How dare you trick me, boy! You’re dead! I’ll carve the flesh from your body, slice by slice, and make you experience death by a thousand cuts!"

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s murderous intent skyrocketed. Her gaze, now fixed on Su Han, was filled with fury and cruelty. She had been careless before, thinking Su Han was an insignificant character she could crush with a flick of her finger. The consequence of her arrogance, however, was this crushing defeat. All she could think of now was killing Su Han to wash away the humiliation.

"Phenomenon: Asura with Blade in Mouth!"

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord dared not underestimate him again. She decided to go all out, giving Su Han no chance.

A chilling, murderous aura surged from her, condensing into an Acquired Phenomenon behind her.

Although Acquired Phenomena were not as potent as the Innate Phenomena of those with Special Physiques and lacked any potential for growth, their power was still formidable.

The frosty, murderous aura swiftly intertwined, coalescing into an Asura Phantom. In its mouth, it held a Demonic Blade formed from the same condensed murderous intent.

The moment the Phenomenon appeared, the killing intent soared, gripping the heart and soul of all who witnessed it.

"Cicada Chirping Sound Blade!"

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord grasped the Cicada Wing Devil Blade, unleashing the power of this Low-Grade Dao Artifact. Instantly, an invisible Sound Blade slashed out, tearing through the sky. It was like the sharp, relentless chirp of a summer cicada, powerful enough to sever one’s sea of consciousness.

"Nine Heavens Divine Light!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The Cicada Chirping Sound Blade was a Spiritual Attack. Other methods were ineffective against it, and even Dragon Phoenix Protection was of little use. At that moment, Su Han focused his Nine Heavens Eye, unleashing the nurtured Nine Heavens Divine Light.

However, his Nine Heavens Eye had only reached the First Layer, and he had only recently begun cultivating it. The Nine Heavens Divine Light he produced was only as thick as a single strand of hair.

HISS!

Although this strand of Nine Heavens Divine Light was only as thick as a hair, it was a Divine Method, after all. Somehow, it managed to block the Cicada Chirping Sound Blade.

Simultaneously, Su Han activated his Black Hole Phenomenon. The moment its Devouring Force emerged, it began to consume the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s Asura Phenomenon.

"How is this possible!"

With her Cicada Chirping Sound Blade broken and her Phenomenon devoured, the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was shell-shocked, unable to believe her eyes.

At that moment, Su Han, wielding the Black Blade and using the Character Technique of Motion, took the initiative and charged forward.

The Eighteen Prisons Formation had no effect on Su Han. Since the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s strength was halved by her severe injuries, the tables had turned. Su Han had actually gained the upper hand.

RUMBLE!

A fierce battle erupted between Su Han and the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord. Holding the Cicada Wing Devil Blade, her killing intent and Demonic Qi surged, and the might of her Phenomenon was imposing.

However, Su Han’s golden Qi-Blood pulsed powerfully, his Great Luo Golden Bone was indestructible, and his Black Hole Phenomenon countered her Asura Phenomenon. With the Black Blade in hand, he unleashed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. He seized the upper hand, forcing the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord into a continuous retreat as her injuries grew more and more severe.

"Impossible! I will not be defeated! Shadow Seven Killing Jue!"

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s Dao Heart wavered. With a long howl, she executed her strongest strike. Seven shadows flew from her body, each as solid as a real person, radiating a cold, murderous intent as they attacked Su Han from all directions.

"Dragon Phoenix Protection!"

"Adorned with Stars and Moon!"

Su Han quickly deployed his Origin Technique, risking severe injury to counter the Shadow Seven Killing Jue. At the same time, he took the opportunity to press his advantage with an invincible aura, throwing the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s heart spirit into chaos.

"Body Binding Technique!"

His Divine Sense surged violently as he activated the Small Divine Prohibition, binding the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s body for a second—a second that was the crucial moment for a killing blow.

"Heaven and Earth Slash!"

Su Han dared not hold back in the slightest. He channeled all his Demonic Qi into the Black Blade and brought it down in a single slash that not even heaven or earth could withstand.

SLICE!

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s head soared high into the air, separated from her body.

One slash, and the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was dead.
