Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 639: Chapter 639: I Have a Sword that Can Break All Laws

Although the Flying Sword Technique is flexible and unpredictable, it has a fatal weakness: the close-combat abilities of Sword Cultivators are not strong.

Any Sword Cultivator who practices the Flying Sword Technique is at a severe disadvantage if an opponent gets too close. Their strength lies in attacking from a distance, using the Spiritual Fire of their Flying Swords to launch surprise attacks, overwhelming their enemies and gradually wearing them down to be slain.

SWISH!

The next moment, Su Han’s figure appeared before the Yun Jun Holy Maiden, a mere three meters away. With the length of an arm plus a sword, the blade’s tip was almost touching her skin.

"Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms: Stabbing Star!"

Playing the part of the Nineteenth Prince, Su Han naturally had to perform the prince’s signature move. As he thrust his sword forward, a vast star phantom emerged, piercing through space itself. The void could not withstand such a razor-sharp Sword Radiance.

Moreover, this strike was imbued with the Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo, filling it with an intense killing aura strong enough to breach the Sea of Consciousness and make one’s Heart Spirit tremble.

"Sword, come!"

As the Holy Maiden of Nanshu Jian Gong, she naturally had more strength than this. Moreover, she was keenly aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Flying Swords and had long prepared her defenses for close combat.

CLANG!

A streak of sword light suddenly flew out, colliding with the Seven Stars Holy Sword. It erupted in a brilliant shower of sparks but successfully blocked the strike.

She withdrew swiftly, her movements graceful and rapid, putting distance between herself and Su Han in the blink of an eye. The sword light that had blocked him was now revealed to be a Flying Sword. Counting the one that had slashed at his afterimage earlier, the Yun Jun Holy Maiden now had two Flying Swords at her disposal.

Controlling a Flying Sword requires not only a powerful Divine Sense but also exquisite skill. It is a great achievement for an ordinary Sword Cultivator to control just one. Simultaneously handling two increased the demands on one’s Divine Sense Power and skill not arithmetically, but exponentially.

"Dual Swords, fly together!"

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden’s beautiful eyes grew serious, and she dared not be careless any longer. With a gentle lift of her jade-like hand and a complex flurry of finger movements, two Flying Swords shot toward Su Han from the left and right, sealing his paths of retreat. At the same time, she performed Physique Fusion and opened her Domain to prevent Su Han from getting close to her again.

"Kill!"

Su Han’s expression was indifferent, his arrogance undiminished. He manifested the Starry Sky Sword Domain and, gripping the Seven Stars Holy Sword, constantly clashed with the two Flying Swords.

On the Arena of Sword Discourse, Flying Swords soared and sword shadows cascaded. The battle was intensely fierce.

"Character Technique of Motion!"

Su Han stomped his foot, and instantly, a deafening sonic boom echoed through heaven and earth. To the shock of the onlookers, his figure transformed into a white shockwave, surpassing the speed of sound. He left the two Flying Swords behind and rapidly closed in on the Yun Jun Holy Maiden.

Flying Swords were indeed versatile, but if one’s speed was great enough, they posed no threat. The Character Technique of Motion Su Han had mastered granted him extreme speed. Even at its initial stage of mastery, it was enough to surpass the speed of sound and leave the Flying Swords in the dust.

"What kind of speed is this?"

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden was aghast. Her mouth fell open and her pupils constricted, unable to believe Su Han possessed such terrifying speed that even her Flying Swords couldn’t keep up.

Just then, the Starry Sky Sword Domain pressed down, crashing violently against her own Domain as Su Han charged forward with his sword.

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

Using the Character Secret of Combat, Su Han executed the Moon Slash Sword Technique. In an instant, countless sword lights within the Starry Sky Sword Domain coalesced into a Sword Light Bright Moon. Converging at the tip of the Seven Stars Holy Sword, it rotated at high speed, possessing the power to slice and sever, as he aimed coldly for the Yun Jun Holy Maiden’s delicate neck.

The Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo contained within emanated an overwhelming killing aura filled with the thick scent of blood, causing the Yun Jun Holy Maiden to envision a terrifying vision of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

CRACK!

The sword slashed out, the Sword Light Bright Moon following in its wake, tearing a hundred-meter-long, pitch-black rift in space—a terrifying sight.

"Nineteenth Prince, I truly underestimated you," the Yun Jun Holy Maiden said, gritting her teeth. She stared fixedly at Su Han, her beautiful eyes shimmering with shame and anger.

Aside from the Juque Saint Heir, no one had ever pushed her into such a corner. She decided to display her true strength and utterly defeat Su Han.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Streaks of sword radiance howled forth, slashing toward the Sword Light Bright Moon and successfully blocking it. These streaks of light were also Flying Swords. There were five of them, which, together with the previous two, made up a complete set of seven.

The Flying Sword Technique is different from ordinary Swordsmanship. As long as one is strong enough, they can continuously add more swords to form a Sword Array, making its power limitless.

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden of Nanshu Jian Gong, was so powerful that she could control seven Flying Swords at once. These seven Flying Swords were all Low Grade Holy Artifacts. When combined, their power approached that of an Intermediate Grade Holy Artifact.

"Seven Immortals Sword Formation: Condense!"

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden’s body surged with Sword Intent as her Spiritual Energy burst forth. Her hands fluttered so quickly they left only afterimages. A robust wave of Divine Sense Power surged out, linking the seven Flying Swords together.

Soon, the seven Flying Swords formed a Sword Array, taking on the appearance of seven peerless fairies descending to the mortal realm. They carried a cold killing intent, ready to execute a formidable enemy. freeweɓnøvel.com

"The Sword Array techniques of Nanshu Jian Gong have finally appeared! This is the very art that made the Sword Palace famous. It is said that once a Great Emperor sought to wipe out Nanshu Jian Gong, but he was repelled by the Holy Master of that era, who led all the disciples in laying down an unparalleled Sword Array."

"The Yun Jun Holy Maiden’s strength is incredible! She can control seven Flying Swords at once and has even formed the Seven Immortals Sword Formation. With this formation complete, she can fight above her level. The Nineteenth Prince is in danger!"

"The Nineteenth Prince is strong, but he’s still young. Even if he obtained the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique, he certainly hasn’t had long to cultivate it. Plus, after those two great battles earlier, it’s only normal that he would be at a disadvantage against the Yun Jun Holy Maiden."

As soon as the Seven Immortals Sword Formation appeared, it immediately caught everyone’s eye, and public opinion became overwhelmingly one-sided. After all, the Sword Arrays of Nanshu Jian Gong were too famous. With the Yun Jun Holy Maiden personally controlling it at full power, the crowd did not favor Su Han, considering his defeat to be a certainty.

"Go!"

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden controlled the Seven Immortals Sword Formation to besiege Su Han. This time, even with the Character Technique of Motion, he couldn’t shake off all seven Flying Swords at once. He was trapped within the Sword Array, fending off attacks from all sides like a turtle in a jar.

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

Facing the Seven Immortals Sword Formation, Su Han remained fearless. Demonic Qi surged from his body, and wielding the Seven Stars Holy Sword, he once again performed the Sun Annihilation Sword Technique.

A hundred-meter Sword Sun materialized and then exploded with a roar, smashing down upon the Seven Immortals Sword Formation.

BOOM!

The Seven Immortals Sword Formation was engulfed by the explosive power of the Sword Sun. At that exact moment, Su Han activated the Character Technique of Motion once more, closing the distance and appearing right in front of the Yun Jun Holy Maiden.

"One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"

Slaughter Sword Qi burst from the Seven Stars Holy Sword. The killing intent was heaven-shaking and terrifyingly vast, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it struck the Yun Jun Holy Maiden directly.

Without the protection of her Flying Swords, the Yun Jun Holy Maiden could not withstand this strike. Her abdomen was instantly pierced, and her body was flung backward, tumbling off the Arena of Sword Discourse.

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden was defeated.
