Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: What of Xingzi, I Shall Slay It Nonetheless

Su Han was already at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. The Ghostly Face Mask provided a limited strength enhancement, but it allowed him to break through his shackles and possess the power of the First Layer of the Phenomenon Realm.

The cold Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi circulated through his limbs and bones, making Su Han’s temperament grow cold and domineering. He seemed like a powerful and unstoppable demon emperor emerging from the darkness.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Su Han and Luo Hongyi quickly exchanged blows. The pitch-black blade radiance collided with the crimson flames like a volcanic eruption. Sparks flew everywhere as the blade radiance shattered. Surrounding trees snapped, chunks of rock collapsed thunderously, and deep, shocking cracks were torn into the ground.

After all, Luo Hongyi held the advantage in terms of realm. Even with Su Han donning the Ghostly Face Mask, he had only narrowed the gap, not closed it completely.

Su Han was forced back step by step, while Luo Hongyi was ferocious and overpowering, a stark contrast to her beautiful appearance.

”Su Han, you are but a minor prince of the Tianqing Dynasty, daring to defy Brother Qian Xuan. You’re truly ignorant of your place. I’ll kill you here today, and in three months, Brother Qian Xuan won’t have to bother with an ant like you anymore!

”Previously, Brother Qian Xuan gave you a chance and was even prepared to bestow a great favor upon you. Yet you not only failed to treasure it but even publicly executed Qian Yuan. That’s only because Brother Qian Xuan is good-natured. If it were me, I would have slaughtered you on the spot.

”An ant should have the awareness of an ant. Isn’t it better to just lie down and wait for death? The more you struggle, the more painful it will be!”

Luo Hongyi was born into a Martial Arts family. As a proud daughter of heaven, she was always held high above others. Her path in Martial Arts had been smooth sailing, allowing her to easily obtain her current power and status.

She was a proud peacock, and only a True Dragon like Qian Xuan was worthy of her admiration. As for others, they were mere ants in her eyes. They should obediently obey, living or dying at her whim.

”Enough of your nonsense!” Su Han’s expression was indifferent. He had nothing to say to a woman so madly in love.

If you want me dead, then I’ll kill you first. So what if you’re a favored disciple? Those who provoke me will find only death!

WHOOSH!

Su Han executed the Character Technique of Motion and activated the Character Secret of Combat. With his Black Blade in hand, his golden Qi-Blood surged and his Great Luo Golden Bone gleamed. Although he was only at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, his true combat power was comparable to an expert at the Second or Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm. Combined with the enhancement from the Ghostly Face Mask, the gap between him and Luo Hongyi, while it existed, was not vast.

”Obstinate fool!” Su Han’s words made Luo Hongyi’s face turn ugly, as if he had stepped on her tail. She clutched her Crimson Spirit Sword as the flames on her body surged wildly, drawing in the surrounding Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth.

”Today, I will let you know the difference between an ant and a phoenix! I can kill you as easily as crushing an ant!”

Luo Hongyi held the Crimson Spirit Sword and slashed down.

”Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Fiery Flame Sky-burning Slash!”

Intense and thick flames condensed, causing the temperature of the entire Gourd Valley to soar abruptly, as if it had been placed within a furnace.

A three-hundred-meter-long Crimson Flame Sword Radiance, so condensed it seemed solid, slashed down with terrifying power. It was like an inverted sea of fire, aiming to incinerate and annihilate Su Han.

Facing Luo Hongyi’s Earth Rank Martial Technique, a cold glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes as streaks of Thunder Light leaped across his Black Blade.

RUMBLE!

Thunder roared above the firmament as dark clouds gathered and lightning crackled.

”First Form: Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!”

Su Han executed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. Intense Thunder Light was drawn onto the blade, enveloping the Black Blade until it looked as if the Thunder God himself were about to slash the heavens.

Raising the Black Blade above his head, he drew upon the thunder of the heavens and the earth, absorbed Spiritual Energy from all directions, and fiercely slashed down.

A one-hundred-meter-long Thunderbolt Blade Radiance tore through the sky, splitting heaven and earth as it hurtled toward the Crimson Flame Sword Radiance.

This scene, as witnessed by Ning Feifan, was like thunder striking heavenly fire—a terrifying spectacle that shook his Heart Spirit.

BOOM!

The Crimson Flame Sword Radiance and the Thunderbolt Blade Radiance clashed, instantly erupting into a maelstrom of fire and lightning. The core of the collision seemed to transform into pure chaos, as if recreating the heavens and the earth only to annihilate everything.

The terrifying shockwave was like a tide of world-ending destruction, leaving half of Gourd Valley in a state of utter ruin.

If Ning Feifan hadn’t been standing behind Su Han, he would have undoubtedly been killed. With his Dantian destroyed and his body grievously injured, the shockwave alone would have been fatal.

WHOOSH!

While the Thunderbolt Blade Radiance and Crimson Flame Sword Radiance were still exploding at the point of impact, Su Han unleashed the Character Technique of Motion. He seized the opportunity to bypass the core of the collision. Instead of retreating, he advanced, taking the fight directly to Luo Hongyi.

Su Han circulated the ’Dao Heart Four Extremes,’ unleashing his Invincible Tao Xin. It transformed into a surging, indomitable presence—an aura of invincibility that crashed down on Luo Hongyi like an invisible mountain. Her face paled and her Dao Heart wavered, immediately impacted by the pressure.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Without hesitation, Su Han struck decisively, his left fist shooting forward.

His golden Qi-Blood surged as thirty Great Luo Golden Bones shone brilliantly. Combined with the amplifying effects of the Character Secret of Combat and the Ghostly Face Mask, the power of this punch was unprecedented.

A golden emperor’s shadow appeared behind Su Han, towering and majestic, its authority seemingly inviolable.

BOOM!

The Golden Fist Radiance rolled over like a golden sun, and the very air it passed through exploded, leaving a vacuum in its wake.

The terrifying power caused Luo Hongyi’s expression to change dramatically as she felt a lethal threat. But at that moment, suppressed by the indomitable presence, she could only exert eighty percent of her strength.

BAM!

Although Luo Hongyi tried her best to defend, her combat experience was not as rich as Su Han’s. Having lost the initiative, she could only defend passively. She was struck by the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist and sent flying into a mountainside, where tumbling rocks buried her.

”Origin Technique: Transmute Rock to Gold!”

Without giving Luo Hongyi a moment to breathe, Su Han unleashed his Origin Technique immediately after the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist. The rocks burying Luo Hongyi instantly turned into glittering gold, as heavy and sharp as metal.

This series of attacks was as swift as lightning and as ferocious as thunder, catching Luo Hongyi completely off guard and leaving her severely injured.

”Phenomenon: Heavenly Fire Meteor!”

Enraged, Luo Hongyi broke free from the pile of golden rocks. She activated her Crimson Flame and unleashed her Phenomenon. The world suddenly darkened, only to be swiftly illuminated again.

From the sky above, hundreds of flame-wreathed meteors hurtled down, like an apocalyptic disaster.

”Phenomenon: Black Hole!”

Su Han was not afraid of Phenomena in the slightest. At that moment, his Black Hole Phenomenon manifested. It was three meters wide, pitch-dark and profound, capable of devouring anything in the universe.

As the Heavenly Fire Meteors fell, the Black Hole Phenomenon swallowed them whole, not leaving so much as a ripple. This result infuriated Luo Hongyi to no end.

”Aaaargh! You despicable ant! I’m going to kill you today!”

Luo Hongyi was completely berserk, her eyes bloodshot with rage. She reached out and produced a mirror.

This was not a Magic Artifact, but a Dao Artifact imbued with a trace of Dao Rhyme.

The moment the Dao Artifact appeared, Su Han felt a lethal threat.
