Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 819 - Yan Shuiyi’s Decision

Qi Xue was also frozen in shock.

She had believed this battle would be Chen Fan’s last—he might struggle briefly but wouldn’t escape death.

She had never expected this outcome: with a single strike, Chen Fan had instantly killed Pan Huan.

If she hadn’t abandoned Chen Fan earlier, few among the twenty-eight demon generals’ guardians could have challenged him. He would have swept through them and perhaps even challenged the demon generals for her. @@novelbin@@

A flicker of regret stirred in Qi Xue’s heart but was quickly dismissed.

She didn’t make a mistake; it was the right choice.

So what if Chen Fan could kill Pan Huan? Against Dou Yan, she still wouldn’t stand a chance.

Keeping Chen Fan might have made her Dou Yan’s first target, dooming her to elimination as the weakest-ranked demon general.

Meanwhile, Dou Yan’s face darkened. Chen Fan had killed Pan Huan. He had placed high hopes in Pan Huan.

He was supposed to shield Dou Yan from lower-ranked challengers and test the top two demon generals. All Dou Yan would have to do was focus his energy on the generals above him.

Now, with Pan Huan gone, Dou Yan would have to handle those challengers himself and expend quite a bit of his energy to deal with them.

Icy killing intent surged from him.

“Oh my god, I’m not seeing things, am I? He killed Pan Huan in a single move. That was a top-tier, peak Heavenly Star realm expert!”

“This is unbelievable. I thought Yan Shuiyi made it this far only because the third demon general made things easy for her. Turns out, even if he hadn’t, she still would’ve made it.”

“That’s right. No wonder Qi Xue lost to them in the last round. Chen Fan is just too strong.”

Many divine wills discussed in shock, stunned by the battle’s outcome.

Even the First Demon General, who had been disinterested in the ranking battles, opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in his gaze as he looked at Chen Fan. But he quickly shut them again.

Pan Huan was strong, but the First Demon General thought little of him—he could have killed him with a flick of his finger.

Chen Fan returned to Yan Shuiyi’s side and sent her a voice transmission, “Should I help you challenge the third demon general?”

“No need. I said before, if you defeat the opposing demon general, I’ll step down and let you take over as demon general, with me as your guardian. I meant it.”

Yan Shuiyi stepped forward. Seeing this, Dou Yan’s killing intent flared as he rose. However, her voice rang out, causing his footsteps to pause.

“Demon General Yan Shuiyi seeks an audience with the demon king’s personal attendant.”

At her words, all eyes turned to her.

A powerful aura surged from within Demon King Xuan Ting’s palace, sending waves of demonic might that left the demon generals stunned. They had no idea why Yan Shuiyi wanted an audience with the demon king’s personal attendant.

The third demon general, Dou Yan, looked at Yan Shuiyi, doubt flashing in his eyes.

He had expected her to challenge him when she stepped forward earlier, prompting him to rise, ready to crush her with overwhelming power. Instead, she requested to meet the demon king’s attendant.

Swish.

A figure moved swiftly through the air and stood in the void—it was the demon king’s attendant.

The demon king's attendant wielded terrifying strength, chosen from the most exceptional demon generals of each generation.

Once a demon general himself, his cold gaze swept over the crowd, prompting many to salute.

“Yan Shuiyi, what business do you have?” asked the attendant, as he looked at Yan Shuiyi.

“I am not worthy. I will step down from my position as demon general and pass it on to my guardian, Chen Fan. He is stronger than I am and deserves the position,” Yan Shuiyi said, causing the crowd present to send sharp looks over.

Her reason for asking an audience with the attendant caught everyone by surprise, as none of them had expected that.

All demon generals had climbed mountains of corpses and waded through crimson seas to get their position. So, they would never pass down their position so easily.

Yan Shuiyi was probably the first to take such a step.

“Do you know what your action signifies?” asked the attendant coldly.

Yan Shuiyi nodded and said, “I know.”

The attendant glanced at Yan Shuiyi before looking at Chen Fan and said, “Alright. Since that is the case, your position will be passed to Chen Fan.”

Though the demon king did not attend the battle, he could see everything that happened here clearly from their palace.

Chen Fan’s single strike that killed Pan Huan proved his worth to become a demon general.

“Alright, Chen Fan, from now on, you are a demon general. I will be your guardian.”

Without hesitation, Yan Shuiyi handed over her demon general token to Chen Fan.

After the demon king’s personal attendant left, the training ground broke out into a commotion.

Whoa.

No one expected Yan Shuiyi to pass her demon general position to Chen Fan. It was shocking.

“Has Yan Shuiyi gone crazy? She actually gave her position to Chen Fan, my goodness.”

“I think that’s actually pretty clever. She knows she has no chance against Dou Yan and could easily be killed. Thus, she passed on her position as demon general to Chen Fan. By doing that, she has ensured that if he wins, she gains even more; if he loses, she’ll remain safe.”

“You have a point, but in the upcoming battle, Dou Yan will absolutely trounce Chen Fan.”

“......”

Yan Shuiyi’s action surprised many, but they immediately came back to their senses and could not help but praise her.

“I bet everything on you. Don’t disappoint me.” Yan Shuiyi transmitted, her tone tinged with a playful edge.

“Rest assured. You will only gain more, not lose everything.”

Chen Fan’s eyes were filled with confidence, his gaze incomparably sharp.

A half-step Manifestation realm expert? It wasn’t like he hadn’t killed them before!

Boom!

A wave of terrifying demonic might exploded into the sky, shaking the hearts of those present. Their discussions stopped, as everyone shifted their gazes over in horror.

The demonic might of a half-step Manifestation realm rampaged wildly on Dou Yan, pressuring heaven and earth, causing the people’s hearts to tremble.

“Very well, you killed my guardian, and now you have taken over the position of demon general. So, according to the rules, you can come up here to accept your death! You shall become the shortest-lived demon general in the history of the Xuan Ting Demon Sect!”

Dou Yan’s sharp, blade-like gaze locked onto Chen Fan, filled with murderous intent.
