The Three Realms Were Shocked-Had the Human King and Demon Emperor Appeared?! (Please Keep Reading)

"You can't kill anyone!"

Fang Ping said coldly as he climbed onto the platform, saber in hand.

"How laughable!"

Gu Qing sneered, looking at Fang Ping with contempt.

"Even if you're a human prodigy on the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking, you still won't escape death at my hands!"

He was a peerless prodigy with Nine Forgings of Spiritual Sense, and in the Rank Nine Realm, both his main body and avatar had reached Origin Stage Ten!

If the Sky Screen ranked the prodigies of the Three Realms, he would definitely make the list—and even rank near the top!

Though he had fallen one rank and his Mental Energy had been burned away, he could still kill a human martial artist of the same rank with ease!

A scarlet gleam filled Gu Qing's eyes as an invisible killing intent began to spread across the platform!

The moment Fang Ping stepped fully onto the platform, Gu Qing would make him understand the terror of death!

"Die!"

When Fang Ping had fully stepped onto the platform, Gu Qing growled. His body blurred as he instantly charged at Fang Ping!

Fang Ping let out a low shout. He neither dodged nor retreated, but swung his saber in a fierce slash!

"Heh!"

Gu Qing sneered. His figure flickered, dodging the saber, and in the blink of an eye he appeared right in front of Fang Ping!

The next moment, Gu Qing's gaze turned vicious. His Mental Energy erupted, attempting to intimidate Fang Ping!

"An attack with Mental Energy—this man is in danger!"

Someone in the audience cried out in alarm!

Fu Changding, Han Xu, Zhao Lei, and the others changed expressions at the words. They stared tensely at the platform, their palms sweating!

"Get lost!"

Divine light blazed in Fang Ping's eyes. He shouted angrily and threw a punch without the slightest hesitation!

Boom!

Gu Qing spat blood and flew backward, staring at Fang Ping in disbelief.

Why?!

Why hadn't this man been intimidated by his Mental Energy?!

"Slash!"

Fang Ping roared and charged forward with his saber. His figure blurred as Cloud Step carried him instantly above Gu Qing's head!

The saber gleamed with a fierce blade aura and plunged down at a speed invisible to the naked eye!

"Cheap tricks!"

Gu Qing sneered. He didn't dodge, instead throwing a punch with all his might!

His physical body might be weak, but how could a mere Rank One martial artist hurt him?

Yet the next moment, Gu Qing's expression changed. His eyes trembled, and he hurriedly retreated to dodge!

"Slash!"

Fang Ping growled and struck again in an instant!

Three sharp cracks rang out as his Vitality surged!

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out. Gu Qing flew backward, blood spraying from his mouth. His collarbone and chest were nearly split open!

"How is this possible?!"

Gu Qing roared!

The three consecutive strikes had unleashed over 200 units of Vitality!

But this man was clearly only at Rank One, with at most a little over 300 units of Vitality. Unleashing 200 units at once should have left him weakened!

Yet he was still full of energy. Where had he gotten so much Vitality?!

Before Gu Qing could think it through, Fang Ping brought his saber down again!

"Damn it!"

Gu Qing's face turned deathly pale. A vicious gleam flashed in his eyes as he unleashed a powerful surge of Vitality and Mental Energy!

He refused to believe this man still had anything left after three strikes!

However, Fang Ping didn't strike just once. Three sharp cracks rang out in succession—another three-strike combo!

"Impossible!"

Gu Qing stared at the descending blade, his eyes filled with venom!

Another burst of over 200 units of Vitality!

How could this be?!

He'd unleashed over 200 units before, and now another 200-plus...

How could a Rank One martial artist unleash more than 200 units of Vitality twice in a row?!

"No!"

Despair filled Gu Qing's face!

He couldn't accept this!

He was a peerless prodigy from three thousand years ago!

Both his main body and avatar had reached Origin Stage Ten, and his Mental Energy had reached ten thousand hertz. He was a peerless prodigy, the future second Emperor-level powerhouse of Pingyu Heaven!

Give him another hundred years, and both his main body and avatar would reach True God. Once the two bodies merged, he would become the strongest among True Gods!

How could he die at the hands of a mere ant?!

"Splurt!"

Gu Qing had been split in two. His eyes burned with hatred for a moment before going dark.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

The people of Pingyu Heaven turned deathly pale and cried out in anguish!

Emperor Venerable Pingyu's expression was cold and grim!

The most outstanding disciple of Pingyu Heaven had actually died at the hands of a Rank One human martial artist!

Unforgivable!

King Feng of the Earth Caves had a livid expression. He clenched his teeth and glared at Fang Ping with hatred.

"Something's wrong with him!"

"The amount of Vitality he unleashed is unbelievable!"

"Human prodigies are incredible!"

A Rank One martial artist had unleashed as much as 500 units of Vitality!

He had even been immune to Gu Qing's Mental Energy attack!

That man was either the Future Human King or the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor!

King Ming's pupils trembled too, and his mind reeled!

Liu Ji, Feng Jiucheng, and Gu Qing!

Three Rank Nine martial artists who had fallen in rank had died at the hands of human prodigies in less than fifteen minutes!

Among Rank One martial artists, who else could kill those three?!

In the void, King Xun and King Gen's eyes shone with divine light!

In just a short time, two human prodigies who were invincible among their peers had appeared!

Both men were extremely strange!

Perhaps they were the Future Human King and the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor!

In the shadows, King Huai couldn't help drawing a deep breath!

The human prodigies were far too strange!

Even Rank Nine martial artists who had fallen in rank were no match for them—they had been killed instead!

"Terrifying!"

King Huai couldn't help remarking. Fortunately, he hadn't sent his subordinates to their deaths.

In the distance, Feng, hidden in the void, watched Fang Ping and Zhang Xuan with flickering eyes.

"The first man to step onto the platform was Zhang Xuan, ranked twentieth on the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking.

"The other man, however, isn't on the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking... Could he be near the top of the list?"

Feng saw through the disguises that the Heaven Suppressing King and God Forger had placed on Fang Ping and Zhang Xuan at a glance.

As a Heavenly King of Breaking Eight who specialized in Mental Energy, and the foremost disciple of the Heaven Extinguishing Emperor, his Mental Energy was exceptionally powerful!

It was only natural for him to see through their disguises. Failing to do so would have been beneath him.

The Human Emperor and the Seed had their own influence in the Human Realm. The appearances of all martial artists who made it onto the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking had already been circulated.

Feng's eyes flickered. He felt that neither Zhang Xuan nor the other man was likely to be the Future Human King.

Instead, they might be bearers of the Three Emperors Great Dao, or perhaps mutated martial artists born under a special destiny!

If he were Zhang Tao, why would he bring the still-weak Future Human King to a Martial Dao Tournament held to target him?

Would Zhang Tao really dare assume that the Future Human King would be invincible among his peers and that nothing would go wrong?

The Future Human King was the future of humanity. If something happened to him, what would become of humanity?

Zhang Tao and the human leaders would surely protect the still-weak Future Human King by keeping him hidden!

Perhaps these two men were decoys arranged by Zhang Tao!

He wanted the powerful figures of the Three Realms to believe that Zhang Xuan and the other man might be the Future Human King or the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, distracting them and sacrificing pawns to protect the king!

In the Heavenly Fate Royal Court's camp, Ji Yao's phoenix eyes narrowed!

"Two bursts of over 200 units of Vitality... This man is as strange as the one before him!"

Ji Yao had plenty of martial arts experience. She knew that even a Forbidden Zone prodigy at the peak of Rank One couldn't unleash a Vitality Blade Slash of over 200 units!

Yet this man was at Rank One and had unleashed it twice in a row. It was simply unbelievable!

Ji Yao sized up Fang Ping and Zhang Xuan, silently wondering, "Which of them is the Future Human King?"

On the platform, Fang Ping panted heavily, drenched in sweat!

Watching Zhang Xuan kill each opponent with a single strike from below, Fang Ping had thought it looked easy. He hadn't expected this man to unleash Mental Energy, making him so difficult to kill!

Fortunately, his system could replenish his Mental Energy. Otherwise, he might really have been killed!

Fang Ping still felt shaken. Panting, he first crushed the other man's skull, then hurriedly began to loot the corpse.

After looting the corpse, he jumped off the platform, swallowed a few pills, and pretended to absorb them quickly.

At that moment, all the powerful figures of the Three Realms were watching Fang Ping.

"This!"

In less than three minutes, everyone watched as Fang Ping's flagging Vitality gradually began to rise. In a little while, it would be back to its peak.

"What kind of strange constitution is that?"

An emperor from Heaven Beyond Heaven couldn't help murmuring.

King Ming, King Feng, and the other True Kings of the Earth Caves also frowned.

King Xun, King Gen, and the others' eyes shone as they tried to figure out what was going on.

But with the Heaven Suppressing King and Martial King Zhang Tao present, they didn't dare directly investigate the changes inside Fang Ping's body. They could only speculate.

King Ming pondered, "Could this man have taken a large number of pills before the match, allowing him to unleash an abnormal amount of Vitality?"

King Ming and the others furrowed their brows.

No matter what, this man had to be killed!

King Ming barked, "Bao Yun, you'll challenge him. Make sure you kill him!"

If the martial artists from Heaven Beyond Heaven and the Boundary Land hadn't been so arrogant that they refused to use self-destruction to kill the human martial artists, then someone among the human prodigies would surely have been dead by now!

"Yes!"

Bao Yun wore a cruel smile. Giving his life for the king was an honor!

Bao Yun stepped onto the platform, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Fang Ping. "Human, I'm going to kill you!"

"Arrogant!"

Fu Changding, Zhao Lei, and Chen Jiasheng's expressions turned cold!

Zhang Xuan said quietly, "He'll probably try to kill us by blowing himself up."

Fang Ping drew a deep breath. "I'll go."

Han Xu stepped forward. "I'll take this one!"

"If he wants to blow himself up, he'll have to get close to me. I won't give him the chance!"

Zhang Xuan asked, "Are you sure you can handle him?"

"I am!"

Han Xu tightened his grip on his spear, his expression serious!

They had set out as a group of ten. How could he let Zhang Xuan and Fang Ping shoulder all the danger?

"All right, then you're up!"

"Come back alive!"

Han Xu nodded. "Don't worry."

Han Xu took his spear and stepped onto the platform, ready for battle!

"Bao Yun, don't underestimate him. Kill him immediately!"

King Feng shouted, afraid that Han Xu might turn the tables on them.

Bao Yun nodded.

As soon as Han Xu stepped onto the platform, Bao Yun charged at him wildly.

Han Xu remained calm. He leaped into the air, and his spear shot toward Bao Yun's head with the force of thunder!

"Heh!"

Bao Yun sneered in disdain and knocked the spearhead aside with a punch!

He might not be a Rank Nine martial artist who had fallen in rank, but he was still a powerful expert who had fallen from Rank Six!

The spear struck like a shadow, stabbing toward his head again like a phantom!

Bao Yun let out an angry shout and grabbed the spearhead.

"Get over here!"

A flash of cold fury crossed Han Xu's eyes. He swiftly twisted the spear and drew a slender sword from within it!

The sword flashed like a phantom, striking in an instant. Before his opponent could react, it pierced straight through his head!

Han Xu didn't stop. He quickly thrust the spear again, piercing through his opponent's neck!

Once Bao Yun was well and truly dead, Han Xu kicked the body toward the human side. Only after jumping off the arena did he start searching the corpse.

Searching a corpse on the arena was too dangerous. What if someone suddenly leaped up and tried to kill him?

He didn't have the formidable strength of Fang Ping or Zhang Xuan, who dared to search a corpse on the arena in front of everyone.

Besides, searching a corpse in front of the mighty experts of the Three Realms and the Earth Cave True Kings made him feel uneasy. It was downright creepy.

Zhang Xuan watched Han Xu and clicked his tongue.

He was the one who had taught Fang Ping and Han Xu to search their opponents' corpses after killing them.

He hadn't expected Han Xu to surpass his teachers!

Fang Ping looked as if he'd learned something.

On the Earth Cave side, one of the Earth Cave True Kings wore a livid expression!

"Sword Hidden in Spear!"

"Infuriating! The humans are so vicious and underhanded!"

"Four losses in a row!"

King Hua murmured softly. It was only the first-rank competition, yet the Earth Cave and Heaven Beyond Heaven had already suffered four consecutive losses.

King Ming's face darkened, his eyes flashing with a venomous light.

Since they couldn't win the first-rank competition, they would make sure the humans paid a terrible price in the second-rank and Secret Realm competitions!

"Hu Xiao, She Ye... Go challenge the human second-rank martial artists and slaughter them!"

"E Lun, Hu Shan... The six of you, challenge that man one after another. Don't give him a chance to catch his breath!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

In the human camp,

Chen Jiasheng gripped the Wu Hook tightly and said in a low voice,

"I'll go this time!"

Among the peak second-rank fighters, Xie Lei, who had honed his bones three times, was the first to step onto the arena.

They had all honed their bones three times. If Fang Ping and Han Xu could slay their opponents, he couldn't afford to disgrace himself either!

Meanwhile,

inside the Secret Realm,

Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and the other fourth-rank martial artists hadn't gone far.

As soon as they entered the Secret Realm, they began preparing to ambush the Earth Cave martial artists!

"The Earth Cave and Heaven Beyond Heaven, along with the other factions, will surely join forces and try to surround us. We can't let them gather together!"

Wang Jinyang's expression was grave.

The Earth Cave, Heaven Beyond Heaven, Boundary Land... If these factions joined forces, a hundred people would be surrounding ten!

With such overwhelming numbers, even if he, Yao Chengjun, and Li Hansong could each take on ten opponents, they still couldn't kill a hundred people!

They would eventually run out of strength.

So they might as well ambush them ten at a time!

There was a gap between each faction entering the Secret Realm. That gap was their best opportunity to ambush the others!

Even if they couldn't ambush every faction, they could still take out the Earth Cave martial artists and those from one or two Heaven Beyond Heaven factions.

Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and the others nodded.

This was the battle plan they'd made from the start: strike first!

The Secret Realm had been transformed from the environment of the Earth Cave. It had stone forests and wooded hills, and its entrance happened to lie in a low, rolling stone forest.

At that moment, at the entrance to the Secret Realm,

the Earth Cave martial artists glared furiously, their eyes bloodshot!

Feng Miesheng, a peak fourth-rank fighter, gritted his teeth.

"The human martial artists dared to kill my royal uncle. I'll make sure they wish they were dead!"

"Prince Feng, there's no need to worry. Once we meet up with the martial artists from Heaven Beyond Heaven and Boundary Land inside the Secret Realm, a hundred of us will surround the humans. They won't stand a chance!"

From the void, King Feng sent a voice transmission: "Once you enter the Secret Realm, kill the human martial artists at all costs!"

"Remember, at all costs—even if you have to self-destruct!"

The ten people with Feng Miesheng heard him, and hatred burned even more fiercely in their eyes.

They didn't hate the True Kings. They hated the human martial artists!

"Yes!"

"Enter the Secret Realm!"

The next moment, Feng Miesheng and the other nine stepped into the Secret Realm!

Ji Yao watched the ten enter the Secret Realm, bit her red lip, and murmured,

"Who will win?"

She wasn't competing. King Ming wouldn't let her.

As a prospective Emperor-level fighter, Ji Yao hadn't been permitted by King Ming to fight the human martial artists.

King Ming had brought her with him to the Outer Region for two reasons. One was to let her witness a grand occasion.

The other was that, given Ji Yao's special relationship with the Future Human King, King Ming wanted to see whether she could spot him in advance.

Inside the Secret Realm,

Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and the others stared at the entrance, silently thinking,

"The Earth Cave martial artists are here!"
