Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 98: Not a single fighter

Although everyone was infuriated by Su Han’s robbery spree, no one could deny his genuine strength. Wang Ziming and Lu Kuang were both prodigies on the Qingyun List with undeniable talent and power, standing out among the elites on Tianxuan Peak. However, in front of Su Han, they were as fragile as chicks and were defeated in an instant. This outcome shocked countless people, who found it difficult to accept.

Faced with Su Han’s provocation, a dead silence fell over Tianxuan Peak. No one dared to step forward and become his next target.

"Senior Brother Ye Chen is here!"

Just then, a cry of surprise and excitement erupted from the crowd, as if a savior had appeared. The onlookers parted like a tide, and a youth in a black robe with a sword on his back walked out from among them.

The youth was about twenty years old, with flowing black hair and deep eyes. His entire aura was as intimidating as a Divine Sword cleaving through the heavens, making people recoil in awe. Although he did not possess a Special Physique, he had achieved Sword Heart Clarity and comprehended Sword Intent, making him a sword cultivator of peerless offensive power.

"It’s Senior Brother Ye Chen! I can’t believe he came. Su Han is in trouble now. Senior Brother Ye Chen isn’t just at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm; he’s also ranked forty-ninth on the Qingyun List. With his Rift Sky Sword Technique, few within the Heavenly Human Realm can contend with him."

"Su Han claims to be invincible below the Phenomenon Realm, while Senior Brother Ye Chen is a top expert at the Heavenly Human Realm. I wonder which of them is truly number one at this level!"

"Senior Brother Ye Chen is considered the number one expert below the Phenomenon Realm on Tianxuan Peak. If even he is defeated, Tianxuan Peak will completely lose face. I hope he can win!"

As Ye Chen appeared, he dazzled countless onlookers, clearly holding a high reputation. At that moment, he slowly approached Su Han, his gaze as sharp as a sword.

"I don’t care about your grudge with Senior Brother Qian Yuan, but you shouldn’t have come to Tianxuan Peak to provoke us. I’ll give you a chance: kneel, kowtow, and apologize. Return all the Storage Rings you’ve stolen and hand over your own. If you do, I might spare you. Otherwise, if I draw my sword, your defeat is certain!"

Ye Chen’s expression was calm, but his words dripped with undisguised arrogance. While he might not dare to claim invincibility within the Heavenly Human Realm, he was at least considered the strongest on Tianxuan Peak below the Phenomenon Realm. Even within the entire Seven Stars Sect, few at his level could contend with him, which gave him the right and confidence to speak so brazenly.

"You talk too much crap!"

Su Han’s response was to attack. His Black Blade flashed like lightning as it swung horizontally toward Ye Chen, carrying a cold Demonic Qi and a chilling edge.

Su Han’s words and sudden attack caused the cold light in Ye Chen’s eyes to surge as his killing intent intensified. Does he really think he’s invincible just because he killed Qian Xing?

"Since you refuse to see reason, I shall teach you a lesson!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, drawing his sword in a slash.

A chilling sword light flared, as dazzling as a bolt of lightning in broad daylight.

CLANG!

The sharp, grating sound of clashing metal rang out. Sparks flew as terrifying Blade Qi and sword light crisscrossed, carving cracks into the ground. Yet, Ye Chen was forced back three steps, while Su Han, in contrast, not only stood his ground but advanced.

"Draw Sword Slash!"

Empowered by the Combat Character Secret, the might of the Draw Sword Slash tripled as it drew upon the world’s Spiritual Energy. As the blade swung, a pitch-black slash roared forth like a black dragon, striking terror into the hearts of onlookers.

Ye Chen’s expression soured, but his reaction was swift. Thanks to his Sword Heart Clarity, he could master any swordsmanship or sword technique with incredible speed.

"Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Rift Sky Sword Technique!"

Ye Chen’s specialty was the Rift Sky Sword Technique, an Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique with twenty-seven forms. Although he had only mastered fourteen, it was enough to defeat most of his opponents.

CRACKLE!

Sword light arced like a rainbow across heaven and earth. The very air vibrated unceasingly as fissures appeared, as if space itself were being sundered. This torrent of light swept toward Su Han from all directions, each beam terrifyingly sharp and capable of slicing through gold and iron.

"Dragon Phoenix Protection!"

Golden Qi-Blood surged as Su Han activated his Sacred Body. The Dragon Phoenix Protection instantly manifested, its True Dragon and True Phoenix phantoms more solid than ever, looking as if they were about to shift from illusion to reality.

PING! PING!

The torrent of sword light shattered against the Dragon Phoenix Protection, breaking into countless motes of light. It failed to injure Su Han, let alone force out his Starry Moon Armor.

After devouring the Stellar Monarch Body, Su Han’s Sacred Body had grown even stronger. His golden Qi-Blood now surged like a tidal wave, significantly enhancing the defensive power of his Dragon Phoenix Protection. Although the Rift Sky Sword Technique was an Earth Rank Martial Technique, Ye Chen had only mastered half of it. If he had grasped all twenty-seven forms, he might have had a chance to break through the Dragon Phoenix Protection.

"Character Technique of Motion!"

Su Han executed the Character Technique of Motion. His speed surged as he shot forward, rapidly closing the distance to Ye Chen.

"Nine Blades as One, Decisive Slash!"

Gripping his Black Blade, Su Han used the Combat Character Secret to execute nine consecutive slashes. The nine attacks merged into one, forming an incredibly solid, pitch-black blade beam that cut through the air and slashed fiercely toward Ye Chen.

"Mysterious Rank High Level Martial Technique: Rift Cloud Slash!"

Ye Chen hastily parried. His Sword Intent empowered the attack, making the sword light even more piercingly sharp. A sword cultivator with Sword Intent was not only stronger but could also suppress their foe. Unfortunately for Ye Chen, Su Han’s Black Blade possessed its own Demonic Nature and was completely unaffected by the pressure.

BOOM!

A colossal collision erupted. Terrifying battle fluctuations swept out, blasting apart the ground beneath them in a horrifying display. In this clash, Ye Chen was once again overpowered. He was sent flying with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, clearly injured.

But Su Han had no intention of giving him a moment’s respite. He continued to close in with the Character Technique of Motion as his Divine Sense surged forth, casting the Body Binding Technique.

What is this?

Feeling his body stiffen and become immobile, Ye Chen’s expression changed completely. He frantically circulated his Spiritual Energy and tried to communicate with his sword through his Sword Heart Clarity, desperate to break free from the Body Binding Technique. But against his efforts, the technique would immobilize him for at least three seconds—more than enough time for Su Han to reach him.

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Su Han clenched his left fist. His golden Qi-Blood surged like a tide, his twelve Great Luo Golden Bones shone brightly, and amplified by the Combat Character Secret, this punch was unprecedentedly potent. Su Han’s fist blazed with golden light, like a miniature sun, and a vague imperial shadow even appeared behind him, moving in tandem with his strike.

RUMBLE!

The punch flew forth, seeming to drag a miniature sun down from the heavens. The air thundered and shockwaves rolled out like a tidal wave. Even space itself seemed to ripple—an absolutely terrifying sight.

If Ye Chen hadn’t been immobilized, he might have been able to struggle by using his full power combined with a Defensive Treasure from his Storage Ring. But now, he could only watch helplessly as the golden fist fell upon him.

THUD!

The sword was knocked from his grasp. Ye Chen himself was thrown into the air in a parabolic arc, crashing heavily into the ground and creating a human-shaped crater.

With one punch, Ye Chen was defeated.
