Chapter 5197: A Competition That Isn’t Really a Competition

"No..."

Dongfang Benyue shook her head strongly.

Deep down, she was unwilling to attack Su Han.

Everyone felt that it was very unfair for her, a fifth-level emperor saint, to challenge a mortal saint. Didn't Dongfang Benyue know that?

From the beginning, Dongfang Benyue had no intention of fighting Su Han. The so-called "challenge" was just a cover.

Who could believe that a great emperor-level figure would be defeated by a mortal saint?

Once he really attacked, whether he really defeated Su Han or deliberately let Su Han win, it would break Su Han's supreme status in Dongfang Benyue's heart. Even if Dongfang Benyue really led the Benyue Pavilion to join the Phoenix Sect in the future, it would become a demon in Dongfang Benyue's heart.

Dongfang Benyue once comforted herself like this--

Although Su Han was reborn and his current cultivation was only a mortal saint, as the first of the Tianjiao, he had already demonstrated his powerful talent. This was incomparable even to Dongfang Benyue, who was once the first of the Tianjiao Three Lists.

As time goes by, Su Han's cultivation will surely catch up with her quickly. By then, he will still be the peerless figure in her mind!

However, Su Han seemed to see her concerns and smiled: "Have you ever thought about why Emperor Tianhe joined the Phoenix Sect?"

"Emperor Tianhe?" Dongfang Benyue was stunned.

Only then did she react that the guy she just scolded was Emperor Tianhe.

Before, Dongfang Benyue's mind was on Su Han, and she even spoke carefully, and didn't care about any other people or things.

When Emperor Tianhe spoke, he called Su Han "Sect Master".

This is enough to prove that Emperor Tianhe has indeed joined the Phoenix Sect.

"Since you know Emperor Tianhe, you must know something about him."

Su Han added: "Emperor Tianhe is not like you. He does not worship our sect as much as you do. But he not only joined the Phoenix Sect himself, but also led the entire Tianhe Sect to join the Phoenix Sect. Why is that?"

"Tianhe Sect is one of the barriers set up by the Star Alliance for the Phoenix Sect... Could it be that Sect Master Su defeated Emperor Tianhe?" Dongfang Benyue said subconsciously.

"Not defeated, but almost killed him."

Su Han flipped his palm, and the drop of life-giving golden blood belonging to Emperor Tianhe immediately floated in his hand.

The first thought that came to Dongfang Benyue's mind was not that Su Han's strength was really that strong, but that those forces that were friendly with Su Han, such as the Tai'a Palace, had top-level masters who gave Su Han some treasures, so Su Han could threaten Emperor Tianhe.

It's no wonder she was so surprised. After all, Emperor Tianhe was also a second-level emperor saint, and Su Han was just a mortal saint. How could he have the strength to fight an emperor saint?

"Come on."

Su Han laughed loudly: "We are very pleased to have a junior like you, but not everyone is qualified to join our Phoenix Sect. Even if you really want to join the Phoenix Sect, you have to let us see what kind of strength you have!"

"You look down on the fifth-level emperor?!"

Dongfang Benyue's cheeks puffed up. There was no more majesty of Emperor Benyue. She was just like a little girl who was unwilling to accept it.

Looking at the entire Holy Land, who would refuse if she, Dongfang Benyue, wanted to join any force?

This is a real emperor-level existence. There is no need to cultivate it. He is a super strong man in himself. He can become the pillar of any force.

And Su Han is here to test her strength?

Even though he knew that Su Han was deliberately provoking him, Dongfang Benyue's stubbornness in his heart was still aroused.

"Okay!"

Dongfang Benyue said: "With my cultivation, it is indeed a little ill-considered to challenge you. Just as you said, I only need to break your defense?"

"Yes." Su Han smiled slightly.

Seeing Su Han's confident look, Dongfang Benyue was even more furious: "Senior, please don't look down on me. Let's make it clear that I can only use my own strength and not rely on external forces."

"Don't worry." Su Han said.

Dongfang Benyue was speechless.

Don't worry?

He actually made her feel at ease?

Shouldn't he be the one who should be at ease?

"Senior, get ready, I'm going to take action!" Dongfang Benyue said.

Su Han nodded, his expression was still calm, without any tension.

Dongfang Benyue waved her hand, and the emperor-level pressure immediately spread out, but she did not rely on the pressure to suppress Su Han. If that was the case, it would be equivalent to insulting Su Han.

Her expression was also very serious, without any playfulness. A touch of cultivation power emanated from her hand, exuding an extremely powerful aura, turning into a palm, and slapped Su Han.

Dongfang Benyue did not think that a mortal saint could see through her methods, so she only used 10% of her strength.

Of course, even if it was only one tenth, it would be enough to cause a devastating blow to any source saint.

However——

Seeing the palm coming, Su Han did not dodge at all, but a phantom armor appeared on his body, emitting nine kinds of brilliance.

At first glance, Dongfang Benyue thought it was an ancient weapon of the Great Emperor, or even a ancestral saint war weapon.

But soon, she discovered that the nine kinds of brilliance were filled with Su Han's aura, which was clearly evolved from the power of cultivation, not real.

"He didn't dodge at all?" Dongfang Benyue frowned secretly.

The two of them only talked about attack and defense. Dongfang Benyue thought Su Han deliberately omitted the speed, thinking that Su Han might have a very fast speed and could dodge her attack.

She did not mention this matter, just to give Su Han a way out.

However, at this moment, Su Han was like a piece of wood, standing there quietly, ignoring the upcoming palm!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came out, and Dongfang Benyue's palm hit Su Han's armor.

Su Han did not move at all, but Dongfang Benyue's palm suffered a huge recoil force. After confronting the armor for a moment, it collapsed and dissipated.

"Huh? Such a strong defense!" Dongfang Benyue said in surprise.

"Do you look down on this sect?" Su Han suddenly asked.

Dongfang Benyue was stunned: "No, absolutely not! Why did Sect Master Su say that?"

"The palm you just used was at most only 10% of the power of the fifth-level emperor saint. Do you really think this sect can't see it?" Su Han pretended to be dissatisfied.

Dongfang Benyue slapped his forehead, and then he remembered that the person in front of him, although currently only a mortal saint, was once the ancient demon dragon emperor.

Not to mention the emperor saint, even if the ancestor saint has what kind of power, he knows it very well, how can he not see the trick?

"Junior...Junior is just afraid of hurting you..." Dongfang Benyue looked a little aggrieved, like a child who made a mistake.
