Master of the Demon Emperor

Su Yie, clad in the Black Jiao King Robe, stood in the midst of the battlefield, unaffected by honor or disgrace, quietly waiting.

All eyes were on him, filled with curiosity, doubt, envy, and, more so, a murderous intent.

As soon as the Demon Lord took to the stage, the Demon Clan's side was roused with excitement; who in the Bailing Territory hadn't heard of the Demon Lord?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had slain the Divine Power Demon King, and he was only at the Shape-Shifting Great Demon Realm; it was simply monstrous!

"Hahaha, who from the Human Clan dares to come forward?"

"Right, not to mention Cultivators who embrace the pill and law realms, even those in the Fusion Heart Realm have to kneel!"

"Is this the Demon Lord? The black robe he's wearing is no ordinary outfit!"

"Such composure, truly worthy of being the Demon Lord!"

"Tsk tsk, this battle is won."

The laughter of the monsters made the Human Cultivators' faces turn unsightly with arrogance!

Cultivators at the pill embracing and law entering realm looked at each other, none immediately entering the arena.

"We've lost."

Mo Haosheng clenched his teeth and said, although he didn't want to admit it, Su Yie was indeed very strong.

Wux Ruyun was also curiously sizing up Su Yie; he often heard his disciples mention Su Yie and, added to Wux Qingyao's reaction to him, it made him quite interested in Su Yie.

Not just him, Lu Yao of the Demon Sect, Sovereigns of the Seven Dynasties, Ye Zhonggang, and many other significant figures were assessing Su Yie.

"Could this young man have consumed the Dragon Strength Pill?"

Lu Yao frowned and murmured to himself, Su Yie's vital energy reminded him of the Demon Lord Qing Yan.

Emperor Li Mengde of Mighty Tang propped his chin with his hand, his eyes fixed on Su Yie, his thoughts unknown.

Li Mengde's name sounded rough, but with his handsome and delicate features, he had the air of a young noble, which made people think he was not the Emperor of Mighty Tang.

The Sovereign of Great Wei was also watching Su Yie, with the Four Elders of Great Wei whispering in his ear, probably discussing Su Yie's achievements.

Monarchs of the other Five Dynasties did the same.

At this moment, Su Yie had become the focal point of both clans.

"What's the matter? No one dares to step up?"

The Demon Emperor spoke again with a laugh, this time not hiding his scorn.

The insulting comments of the demons within the battlefield made the Human Cultivators' expressions even uglier.

"This young man has a bright future!"

The Black Tiger Emperor praised. If he had known that Su Yie was Emperor Su, he probably would have dropped dead from shock on the spot.

The Shape-Shifting Great Demons beside him nodded one after another; they had also heard of the name of the Demon Lord.

The Demon Wolf Star was also staring at Su Yie; he didn't have much of an impression of Su Yie, coming here only wanting to make a big score.

In the meantime, Wux Qingyao spoke within Emperor Su's Sect.

Wux Qingyao: The Demon Lord is the one Emperor Su favors, that sword prodigy.

Black Tiger Emperor: What? It's him?

Demon Wolf Star: Is that true? So you're saying that just a few months ago, he was but a mortal?

Sword Saint Xia Tianyi: Oh? You've seen him?

...

When Wux Qingyao revealed Su Yie's identity, both the Black Tiger Emperor and the Demon Wolf Star's eyes lit up, beginning to look forward to Su Yie's performance.

"I'll go!"

Just then, a young man from the Demon Sect leaped into the arena with the grace of a swift, unfettered swallow.

He had handsome features and held a treasured sword in one hand behind his back, standing sideways to Su Yie, his white garments as pure as snow, exuding an elegant demeanor.

"The number one genius of the Demon Sect, Lang Huaxin!"

Some Cultivators exclaimed, causing quite a stir.

Lang Huaxin was a once-in-a-millennium talent in the Demon Sect; even among the Four Kings of the Demon Sect, except for Demon Lord Qing Yan, all had been his teachers and he was celebrated across both righteous and evil paths.

Lang Huaxin pointed his sword at Su Yie, sneering: "Come on, Demon Lord!"

Su Yie did not draw his sword, for if he were to pull out the Zhou Wu Sword, surely some bigwigs present would recognize it, and the Heartbreaking Sword was even more taboo—it was the treasured sword of the founder of the Demon Sect, certainly recognizable by Lu Yao.

He extended his right hand, with his index and middle fingers together, using his fingers as a sword.

This act made Lang Huaxin's brow furrow, believing Su Yie was looking down on him.

Without any nonsense, Lang Huaxin stomped with his right foot and charged swiftly; the speed was extreme, the hundred meters separating them took barely four blinks of an eye before he arrived in front of Su Yie.

With his right hand holding the sword, a gentle flick created shimmering sword flowers; the cold light shone upon Su Yie.

Su Yie performed the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, like a startled swan, moving behind Lang Huaxin, and struck him on the back with his fingers. The terrifying force directly caused Lang Huaxin to spew blood and fly outward.

He flew a good thirty to forty meters and rolled five times on the ground before he managed to dissipate the force.

"Is that..."

Demon Wolf Star's eyes widened in disbelief.

It was his Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps!

Could it be that Emperor Su had passed it to him?

Even the Human Cultivators recognized it; Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps was the signature technique of Demon Wolf Star. People from the Seven Dynasties, in particular, remembered that back in the day, it was this very technique that prevented them from capturing Demon Wolf Star.

"What exactly is this young man's background?"

Li Mengde sat up straight, squinting his eyes as he muttered.

The other monarchs of the Six Dynasties also wore ugly expressions on their faces as the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps were a humiliation to them.

Having stolen from all Seven Dynasties!

This was the glory Demon Wolf Star carried since becoming famous, as well as the biggest mockery of the Seven Dynasties.

In Mighty Tang, it was only second to Sword Saint's daring solo invasion.

Lang Huaxin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressing the shock in his heart, and turned to charge at Su Yie.

He couldn't lose!

If he lost, he would not only disgrace the Demon Sect but also bring shame to the Human Clan!

Just as he turned around, Su Yie suddenly appeared in front of him, eyes meeting eyes, and a terrifying aura of killing intent rushed forward, scaring Lang Huaxin into hastily retreating.

Su Yie had killed no less than fifty thousand, if not a hundred thousand, demons, and had long since cultivated an aura of killing intent.

Lang Huaxin, already seriously injured by Su Yie, got so scared that as he retreated, he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground in a most undignified manner.

"Hahaha—"

All the demons burst into raucous laughter, while the Human Clan side sank into deathly silence.

Awkward!

The foremost talent of the Demon Sect was defeated just like that?

Aside from the Demon Sect, cultivators from both the righteous and demonic paths began to doubt.

Su Yie made use of the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, before Lang Huaxin could stand up, Su Yie approached him, pointed his finger like a sword to the front of Lang Huaxin's throat.

"You've lost,"

Su Yie towered over Lang Huaxin, speaking calmly, with neither joy nor sorrow, as if defeating a common cat or dog, feeling no sense of accomplishment.

Lang Huaxin's face was covered in cold sweat, his body trembling. At that moment, Su Yie's finger felt like the blade of a sword to him, bringing the sensation of death's presence.

Bang!

Lu Yao slammed the table forcefully, his face looking extremely ugly as he cursed under his breath, "Waste!"

He could understand losing, but did it have to be in such a disgraceful manner?

If he were Lang Huaxin, he would rather die in battle!

Thus, the first battle ended with Su Yie utterly crushing Lang Huaxin, the number one talent of the Demon Sect!

It wasn't that Lang Huaxin was weak, Su Yie was just far too strong!

Su Yie walked casually towards the Demon Clan's steps; the demons shouted the Demon Lord's name in unison. Their voices merged together, resounding powerfully. It stirred one's blood and could be heard by all beings within a hundred miles.

Unfortunately, Su Yie did not feel excited.

If possible, he would have wanted to fight for the Human Clan.

"Hahaha! Truly worthy of being the person he has chosen,"

The Black Tiger Emperor laughed loudly. Su Yie was very much to his liking, decisive and efficient.

Take action when you can, and skip the nonsense!

However, he didn't realize how much he himself enjoyed talking.

"Demon Lord, your post-victory demeanor is simply incomparable. The colder you are, the more it humiliates your opponent!"

When Su Yie returned to the Crimson Flame Lion King's side, the Crimson Flame Lion King spoke excitedly, causing Su Yie to feel somewhat sheepish.

I'm not pretending!

I'm actually that aloof!
