Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 869: Chapter 868: Will She Really Die?

In the square of Dragon Martial City.

The crowd still had not dispersed. As long as the battle today remained unresolved, they would not leave.

Ultimately, they just wanted to see the spectacle and discover whether Su Han could survive such a terrifying siege.

The Dragon Martial Continent had been tranquil for so long, even during times of catastrophe, there had never been such an enormous gathering.

Yet today, to encircle and slaughter one Su Baliu, no less than several dozen Dragon Emperor Realm experts were mobilized. On Su Baliu’s side, the allies kept materializing — One Slash Palace, the Xuanyuan Clan, the Eastern Ancestor, the Northern Ancestor...

Figures once regarded as legendary across the Dragon Martial Continent had gathered here today, albeit in smaller numbers. Such a concentration of Dragon Emperor Realm cultivators was something no sect could assemble, not even the Super Sects!

And just at the moment when everyone was deep in heated discussion, Su Han’s voice echoed forth.

...

”As it stands now, it seems that I, Su, won’t make it out alive. But remember my words: if I manage to survive today, I will no longer concern myself with the calamity of the Dragon Martial Continent. Nor will I care whether you and I are both humans of this continent—I will kill you all!”

”If I live, upon my return, any person of the Five Great Super Sects, any life belonging to those sects, not a single one will remain!!!”

...

When those words rang out, the square, which had been a hubbub of noise, suddenly fell silent.

Many figures exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of what to say.

”This...”

”It’s Su Zun’s voice. Judging by his tone... it seems he’s unlikely to make it.”

”Will he truly die at the hands of the Five Great Super Sects?”

”Sigh... We’ve witnessed the birth of a legend, and now its fall. Though I held no particular fondness nor animosity toward Su Zun, I cannot help but find this regrettable.”

”Indeed. Even he admitted that he won’t survive today. The resentment in his voice—it’s undoubtedly genuine, likely his final words before falling.”

”In only six short years, he created the Phoenix Sect, a sect on par with First-Class Sects. In just ten years, he rose from a small, insignificant family in a minor county to shattering records. He could defeat Peak Pseudo-Emperor Realm cultivators with just his Dragon God Realm Early Stage strength—a peerless freak. Such unparalleled aptitude defies the heavens, yet today he faces death.”

”’The heavens envy the talented’—this sentiment rings true. Though his enemies are the Five Great Super Sects, this is fate, a destiny written by the heavens long ago!”

”Honestly, I don’t wish for his death. First, I have no grievances with him. Second, I truly wanted to see what heights he could achieve if he survived—would he become the Dragon Venerate who has been whispered of for generations but never appeared? Would he shatter the barriers, tear through the void, and ascend beyond?”

”You’re thinking too much. Today, he is doomed without a chance.”

...

Everyone heard Su Han’s voice.

Especially those final words—those last four—”Not a single one will remain!”

Those four seemingly simple words carried Su Han’s resentment to a terrifying peak.

No one doubted the authenticity of his declaration. From the moment the Five Great Super Sects decided to encircle Su Han, their enmity had already reached an undying level.

Given Su Han’s character, known for being fiercely vindictive, and now faced with imminent death, his resentment surged to unfathomable extremes. Should he gain the strength, the Five Great Super Sects would undoubtedly face annihilation!

But all of this hinges upon Su Han’s survival.

In the past, had Su Han uttered such threats in this predicament, many would have sneered, mocked, or dismissed him as arrogant and delusional.

Yet today, at this moment, hearing his voice full of wrath, they could only shake their heads and sigh.

Is this how a legend will meet its end?

...

”What a pity.”

Over on the Yun Family’s side, Yun Chengyu remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head.

”Clan Elder, if Second Miss wakes up, this incident...”

Beside him, a young man furrowed his brow tightly, hesitating before speaking.

In his heart, he hoped the Yun Family would step forward to help Su Han. Yet as a Dragon Emperor Realm cultivator, Yun Chengyu had not taken action, nor had he allowed the Yun Family to intervene. This left the young man deeply frustrated.

It was laughable—who didn’t know how much Su Han had assisted the Yun Family? Who wasn’t aware of Su Han’s relationship with the Second Miss of the Yun Family?

If word spread, people would call the Yun Family cowardly and ungrateful!

Even without public scrutiny, the young man already felt the surrounding gazes upon the Yun Family growing increasingly peculiar. It made him unable to meet their eyes.

But frustration was one thing—Yun Chengyu, after all, was the Clan Elder and a Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse. The young man dared not disobey his orders.

”It’s my fault...”

After a long silence, Yun Chengyu shook his head and said, ”Had I known, I truly should have helped him back then. But now, even if I wished to help, it’s already too late.”

Regret lingered in Yun Chengyu’s heart.

If he had foreseen the full forces of One Slash Palace and the Xuanyuan Clan, foreseen the Eastern Ancestor’s avatar proving powerful enough to hold off the Sixth Holy Son of Giant Island, foreseen Su Han surviving this long, he truly wouldn’t have sat idly by.

But he hadn’t known. He had simply known that intervening would mean offending the Five Great Super Sects and half the Super Powers within the Central Domain.

That kind of trouble was not something the Yun Family could afford.

The young man beside him felt his frustration boiling over even more upon hearing these words, his anger beginning to manifest subtly—but he dared not express it outright.

What good is regret now? Su Han is on the brink of death, and you tell me you’re remorseful?

Utter nonsense!!!

...

Over on the Sect of Peace’s side, Yin Luoxuan stood silently. When Su Han’s voice entered her ears, her long eyelashes suddenly trembled involuntarily.

The small movement naturally caught the attention of the elderly man beside her.

The elder shook his head slightly before sighing, saying, ”Princess, if he truly dies, it would be due to his own actions. He should have foreseen this moment when he first antagonized the Five Great Super Sects. Those are Super Sects that have stood tall on the Dragon Martial Continent for countless years. Did he honestly think they would swallow their resentment so easily? Utterly reckless.”

Yin Luoxuan remained silent, prompting the elder to continue, ”In my opinion, the princess’s connection with him isn’t particularly deep anyway—whether he lives or dies has little to do with the princess...”

”Enough!”

Yin Luoxuan’s charming brows furrowed slightly as she gave the elder a brief glance. He instantly wore an awkward smile and refrained from speaking further.

”Will you truly die?”

After a moment of silence, Yin Luoxuan gently looked up and gazed into the distance.

”Su Han... I’m sorry...”
