Seeing the 44th Prince rushing at him with an attack, Ye Fan flashed aside, dodging it instantly.
However, he was still forced back three steps by the shockwave.
Ye Fan snorted coldly in his mind, a flash of killing intent passing through his eyes.
He had clearly felt killing intent in the 44th Prince's attack just now.
Since the man wanted to kill him, then he deserved to die!
The 44th Prince was somewhat surprised that Ye Fan had managed to dodge his attack. This guy actually has some skill!
Immediately, his figure flashed as he pounced forward once again.
Ye Fan's pupils constricted. Instead of retreating, he advanced, his body blurring as he swept past.
Gathering spiritual energy in his palm, he struck out viciously at the 44th Prince before the latter could even react.
Boom...
Sensing the terrifying momentum of Ye Fan's attack, the 44th Prince's expression changed drastically. Unable to dodge in time, he hastily raised his spiritual shield.
But he was still half a beat too slow. Ye Fan's strike landed squarely on his chest.
“Pfft...”
The 44th Prince spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing onto the ground and rolling backward in a pathetic, disheveled heap.
“How is this possible?”
“How is the 98th Prince this strong?!”
“Oh my... Little Fanfan is actually so powerful!”
“Brother Ye, you're amazing!”
Seeing the 44th Prince sent flying, the crowd of demons below couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Watching the 44th Prince get blasted away, the Third Prince was also completely dumbfounded.
Since when did Little 98 become this powerful? He can actually fight across realms!
He really deserves to die. To think he was hiding his strength!
Then, a wave of sheer pain washed over his heart. His 1.5 million spirit stones had been wasted...
At the rate the 44th Prince was going, let alone killing Ye Fan, even winning was going to be difficult!
Looking at the wild reactions of the demons below, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a wave of suspicion.
This kind of face-slapping flex... why does it feel like the kind of treatment I, the protagonist, should be getting?
Well... it's probably because I didn't enter the tournament, allowing this fellow to take the spotlight.
Still, this guy does have some skill.
But he only has a couple of tricks up his sleeve, which is still three, four, or five tricks fewer than me.
Severely wounded on the ground, the 44th Prince stared at Ye Fan in utter disbelief.
“You... how are you so strong?”
Ye Fan flicked his sleeve and turned to look at the 44th Prince.
“It's not that I'm strong. It's just that you're too weak to take a hit...”
“Pfft...”
The 44th Prince's eyes widened as he glared at Ye Fan, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
My lines... those were my lines!
This was the very excuse he had planned to use after beating Ye Fan to death.
Yet now, Ye Fan was the one saying it.
Right at that moment, Ye Fan once again channeled the spiritual energy within his body.
He was about to strike down at the 44th Prince!
Still seething with rage, the 44th Prince instantly sensed the mortal danger.
He hastily opened his mouth to shout, “I surren—pfft!”
Before he could finish his words, Ye Fan's palm shattered his skull, causing him to lose consciousness permanently.
Seeing this scene, the entire arena fell dead silent.
“Oh my god! He actually killed the 44th Prince...”
“What?”
“How dare he?”
...
The crowd of demons couldn't help but gasp in shock.
General Tiger nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, not bad.
Staring at the 44th Prince's corpse, Lu Ming also narrowed his eyes slightly.
This guy is a ruthless demon. I need to keep a close eye on him.
The Demon Emperor also narrowed his eyes, staring at his son.
Decisive and ruthless in his actions. He is someone who can achieve great things.
There would definitely be no problem with him succeeding me in the future.
However, this son is also extremely cold-blooded and ruthless. When my other sons strike a heavy blow, they would subconsciously glance at me.
But this son didn't. He killed the 44th Prince without a single shred of hesitation.
It almost feels like he isn't my son at all.
The Second Empress also stared blankly at this scene, a wave of bitterness washing over her heart.
Was everything she had sacrificed just to save her father really worth it?
Ye Fan's decision to kill the 44th Prince had been a spur-of-the-moment choice.
Originally, he had been worried about whether killing this guy would affect his image in the Demon Emperor's heart.
But then he remembered that the righteous cultivators of the Eastern Province might make their move at any moment.
With that in mind, he cast his concerns aside. He would kill him first and worry about the rest later.
Perhaps today would be the day of the Demon Emperor's death anyway...
With Ye Fan's victory, this round of the Prince's Tournament drew to a close.
In the next round, the 6th Prince, who had previously drawn a bye, drew another bye.
This time, the Third Prince directly drew Ye Fan as his opponent.
Just as the Third Prince was rubbing his hands together in anticipation, preparing to kill Ye Fan...
The moment they clashed, he was blasted away by Ye Fan in a single move.
The Third Prince was left completely dazed.
What is going on? Am I having a nightmare?
I am at the peak of the 4th-rank! I'm not some fool like the 44th Prince!
But why was I also sent flying?
Lu Ming stared at Ye Fan, who had defeated the Third Prince in a single blow. This guy actually possessed the strength to fight across realms, just like himself.
He just wondered if this fellow would kill the Third Prince as well.
Would the Demon Emperor really not intervene?
Boom...
Just as Lu Ming was speculating, the air suddenly froze, and a chilling aura swept across the entire venue.
Lu Ming's pupils shrank, and his entire body subconsciously tensed up.
What's happening?
Then, he saw three powerful figures appear in mid-air, their immense pressure heavy enough to suffocate everyone present.
The moment he saw the three of them, Lu Ming knew they were demonic cultivators from the Northern Province.
One of them was dressed in revealing women's clothing, wearing five golden flowers on their head and caked in thick rouge and powder. At a glance, they were clearly from Wuhua Palace.
Another was shrouded in a thick mist of blood energy. If Lu Ming's guess was correct, this person was likely the Grand Elder of the Blood River Demon Sect.
The master of that Ye Fan he had killed before.
The last person was shrouded in black energy. No matter how one looked at him, his appearance screamed "demonic cultivator"—he was likely from the Blood Fiend Tower.
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a wave of worry. These people had probably not come to celebrate the Demon Emperor's wedding anniversary...
Seeing the appearance of the Blood Refining Demon Lord and the other two from the Northern Province...
The three Unity-stage cultivators from the Eastern Province hiding in the shadows were also filled with shock.
They couldn't understand why these three old fellows from the Northern Province had come here.
Exchanging glances, they did not reveal themselves, choosing instead to wait and see how things played out.
At this moment, Elder Gu and the Empress were also deeply shocked. They had never expected the demonic cultivators of the Northern Province to show up.
And it was actually three Unity-stage experts...
However, Elder Gu wasn't worried. He didn't tell the Empress, but...
...the array he had set up in the Xiaotian Imperial City could refine all of these people.
With this in mind, he decided to just sit back and watch.
Meanwhile, the crowd of demons erupted into chaotic cries of alarm upon seeing the three intruders.
Only General Dog wore a smug look. He was getting closer and closer to the position of Demon Emperor.
The moment the three demonic cultivators appeared, the Demon Emperor turned to the Empress beside him and said:
“Xintong, be careful.”
Before the Empress could respond, the Demon Emperor flashed and appeared in the void as well.
“May I ask what business brings you three fellow daoists to my demon territory?”
“Hehehe... We have come to congratulate the Demon Emperor on his centenary wedding anniversary...”
The Blood Refining Demon Lord chuckled sinisterly as he spoke.
Hearing this, not a single demon below believed a word of it.
Lu Ming also curled his lip and sent a sound transmission to Big Yellow and the others:
“It looks like things are going south today. Everyone, watch out for your own safety and act according to the situation.”
As for battles at the Demon Emperor's level, it was not something they could interfere in.
If there was an opportunity, they could save a prince to ensure the Demon Emperor had an heir left.
“Yes!”
Big Yellow and the others acknowledged.
As for saving the Demon Emperor himself, Big Yellow didn't even mention it. He knew the limits of their strength.
If they went up there, they would just be throwing their lives away...
He didn't want his boss and the others to die either, so he could only silently mutter in his heart:
Little Grandson... if you die, this Little Ancestor will burn plenty of paper money for you.
Huang Tianbao is an expert at this. He'll definitely arrange a grand, magnificent send-off for you...
