Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: How Dare You Kill Me?

Su Han had never used the Ghostly Face Mask before. This time, he wasn’t just using it for the robbery, but also to test his own strength after his breakthrough.

However, Xu Tianlin’s treacherous sneak attack and arrogance had ignited Su Han’s killing intent. Now, with the Ghostly Face Mask on, his aura surged drastically. He broke through two realms consecutively, directly reaching the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

As Su Han’s own strength improved, the power boost from the Ghostly Face Mask diminished. Even so, it was still enough for him.

Cold Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi circulated through his limbs and bones. It turned Su Han’s demeanor chilling and domineering, making him seem like a high and mighty Demon Emperor who held sway over the life and death of all beings in the myriad worlds.

This aura made everyone’s heart tremble and their scalps tingle with fear. Xu Tianlin’s expression grew somber as he sensed a hint of danger.

”A Demonic Weapon!” Xu Tianlin recognized the nature of the Ghostly Face Mask. Although the righteous and demonic paths were incompatible, powerful Demonic Weapons were still highly coveted. He didn’t suspect Su Han was a Demon Cultivator; he simply attributed the change to the mask itself.

”Demonic Weapons may be mighty, but using them comes at a great cost. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll be happy to oblige you!”

Xu Tianlin wasn’t intimidated. Even with Su Han using the Ghostly Face Mask, a realm gap still existed between them. He was confident his attack could severely injure Su Han.

”Sun Shooting Archery Technique!”

Xu Tianlin gripped his great bow, pulled a sharp arrow from the quiver on his back, and drew the string until the bow formed a full moon before suddenly letting fly.

WHOOSH!

The arrow flew with unstoppable momentum, piercing the air with a sharp, ear-splitting shriek. Like a bolt of lightning, it shot toward Su Han with lethal intent.

A cold light flashed in Su Han’s eyes. His Black Blade moved like lightning, precisely cleaving the arrow in two.

He then executed the Character Technique of Motion, moving faster than lightning as he charged toward Xu Tianlin.

Xu Tianlin was an archer, skilled in long-range attacks but weak in close combat. In contrast, Su Han possessed the Sacred Body and the Great Luo Golden Bones, granting him an Unrivaled Physical Body. If he could close the distance, he had a chance to kill Xu Tianlin outright.

However, Xu Tianlin was well aware of his own weakness. He also cultivated a high-level movement technique and was extremely fast. While it couldn’t compare to the Character Technique of Motion, it was enough for him to maintain a safe distance.

”Nine Stars Chain!”

Xu Tianlin snatched nine sharp arrows with one hand and shot them all at once.

The nine arrows flew in a single line, their power compounding as they blazed an unstoppable path forward.

With his Black Blade in hand, Su Han slashed relentlessly. The dark light of his blade moved like a black ribbon, intercepting all nine arrows. However, he had already been through several major battles and was injured by the earlier sneak attack. Even with the Ghostly Face Mask, he was not at his peak. The assault forced him back again and again.

”Mysterious Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Crimson Flame Scorching Sun Arrow!”

Xu Tianlin reached out, drawing upon the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth. In an instant, scorching flames erupted, coalescing on his great bow to form a fiery arrow.

BOOM!

The flaming arrow carried an intense heat that visibly warped the air around it. It blazed toward Su Han like a Heavenly Fire Meteor.

”Origin Technique: Adorned with Stars and Moon!”

The Dragon Phoenix Protection had been cracked by Mo Fan earlier and had not yet been repaired. However, the Starry Moon Armor formed by Adorned with Stars and Moon also possessed tremendous defensive power.

Su Han withstood the flaming arrow with his Starry Moon Armor while simultaneously slashing at Xu Tianlin with his Black Blade.

”Nine Slashes Merge into One: Decisive Slash!”

Nine beams of blade light fused into one, forming a hundred-meter-long, pitch-black blade light that streaked across the sky. It was cold, sharp, and suffused with a demonic nature.

This attack was exceptionally powerful, yet Xu Tianlin merely looked on with disdain, not seeming worried in the least.

”Phenomenon: Scorching Sun High in the Sky!”

Although Xu Tianlin didn’t possess a Special Physique, as a powerful expert of the Phenomenon Realm, he could condense an Acquired Phenomenon. At that moment, the illusion of a massive fireball appeared above his head.

The fireball illusion resembled a blazing sun. Suffocating heat waves rolled off it like tides.

The pitch-black blade light slashed forward, only to be blocked by the heat waves. Then, to the astonishment of the onlookers, it melted away as quickly as ice in the sun, eventually vanishing completely.

The disparity between their realms couldn’t be bridged by a mere Demonic Weapon. Triumphant, Xu Tianlin was about to draw his bow and attack Su Han again.

At that moment, however, Su Han took advantage of Xu Tianlin’s distraction. He used the Character Technique of Motion to rapidly close the distance.

”Phenomenon: Black Hole!”

When it came to phenomena, Su Han had never feared anyone. The Black Hole Phenomenon appeared instantly, as large as a millstone. It exerted a unique suction force that immediately enveloped the fireball illusion.

The hot and bright fireball illusion was completely powerless before the pitch-black and profound Black Hole Phenomenon.

Moreover, after having devoured stars and seas, the Black Hole Phenomenon’s might was even greater. Xu Tianlin’s was merely an Acquired Phenomenon with limited strength, a far cry from the Innate Phenomenon of a Special Physique. In just a few moments, the fireball illusion was completely swallowed by the Black Hole Phenomenon and vanished without a trace.

”This... This is impossible!”

Seeing his phenomenon devoured, Xu Tianlin’s pupils constricted. He couldn’t accept this reality. He had never heard of a phenomenon being devoured by someone else. As his own disappeared, he suffered a backlash. A surge of weakness washed over him, causing his aura to plummet.

”Body Binding Technique!”

Su Han gave him no time to recover. Seizing the opportunity, he rapidly executed the minor Divine Prohibition.

Instantly, Xu Tianlin felt as if he were bound by invisible ropes, rendering him completely immobile. This terrified him even more, and he struggled frantically to break free.

Unfortunately for him, Su Han wouldn’t give him even a single second. As he executed the Body Binding Technique, he also clenched his left fist. His golden Qi-Blood flared, and the twelve Great Luo Golden Bones in his body lit up, their power amplified by the Character Secret of Might.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Su Han’s left fist shone with a dazzling golden light, like a miniature sun. It was filled with an aura of supreme hardness and pure yang that stunned all who witnessed it.

As he threw the punch, the air boomed. Within the golden light, the shadow of an emperor emerged, carrying with it a supreme divine might, as if this single fist could shatter a star.

”This is bad!”

Feeling the terrifying power of the fist, Xu Tianlin’s pupils shrank violently. His sense of danger peaked. But the effects of the Body Binding Technique had not yet worn off. He could only watch helplessly as the golden fist came crashing down.

BANG!

Xu Tianlin was sent flying. Blood sprayed through the air as he was grievously wounded. The great bow slipped from his grasp and went flying.

WHOOSH!

But Su Han had no intention of letting him go. He used the Character Technique of Motion and instantly caught up. Before Xu Tianlin’s horrified and desperate eyes, Su Han raised the Black Blade.

”Heaven and Earth Slash!”

A torrent of Demonic Qi poured into the Black Blade. The icy blade light it emitted seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth in a single strike.

Gravely injured and having lost his bow, Xu Tianlin had no way to resist this ultimate attack.

”You can’t kill me!” Xu Tianlin screamed, begging for his life.

But Su Han’s gaze remained resolute as he brought the blade down without the slightest hesitation.

Feeling the coldness overtake his body and his consciousness begin to fade, Xu Tianlin stared at Su Han in terror.

How dare you kill me?
