Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Want to Kill Me? You Can Try

It had been over two months since Su Han left the capital.

He was still very grateful to Tongyan. After all, many people were willing to celebrate one’s success, but few would help in a time of need. Tongyan had not only saved him twice but had also delivered Fairy Sister Yun Xian safely to Qian Yuan City, allowing him to seek revenge without any lingering worries. Su Han would always remember this kindness.

Of course, he hadn’t forgotten the three conditions he had promised her.

Qingmo City is in the far north of Qingzhou, at the border of the Qing and Mo Prefectures. Why would Miss Tongyan be there? Su Han asked Sun Buzhou for more information.

This was not confidential information, and since Su Han was holding Tongyan’s Jade Pendant, Sun Buzhou did not hide anything.

”Miss Tongyan went to deal with the Bloodthirsty Young Demon. If you go, you could join forces with her,” Sun Buzhou explained. He was based in Qian Yuan City, close to the Seven Stars Sect. As a result, he had heard news about Su Han and knew his strength was not to be underestimated.

The Bloodthirsty Young Demon! Su Han was slightly surprised. It seems this Bloodthirsty Young Demon has truly done things to outrage both heaven and humanity; otherwise, so many people wouldn’t want him dead.

”Thank you for the information, Pavilion Master Sun. I would like to head to Qingmo City immediately. When can a Cloud Ship be arranged?” Su Han asked, his voice filled with urgency. Not only was Tongyan there, but Ning Feifan’s injuries were also severe. The sooner he obtained the Yin Blood Demon Pill, the sooner the treatment could begin.

”I’ll tell you what,” Sun Buzhou said. ”I will lend you a small Cloud Ship so you can set off as soon as possible.” As a businessman, Sun Buzhou was most concerned with investment and return. Su Han’s innate talent and strength made him feel that this was a small investment worth making, especially since it was well within his means.

Soon after, Su Han received a small Cloud Ship, along with the Manipulation Method from Sun Buzhou. After bidding farewell, Su Han piloted the small Cloud Ship away from Qian Yuan City.

As he departed, however, a pair of eyes watched him from a dark corner.

Yan Liu donned a bamboo hat and a black robe, thoroughly concealing his Aura and appearance. He dares to travel alone. Heaven is truly on my side!

WHOOSH!

Yan Liu soared into the air and pursued Su Han, planning to kill him with a Thunderbolt Strike once they were far enough away. As long as he was quick enough, he would leave no trace behind.

At that moment, Su Han was controlling the small Cloud Ship, which transformed into a long rainbow. It cut across the sky and pierced through the white clouds at great speed.

Someone is tracking me! Su Han’s brow furrowed. His spiritual power had condensed into Divine Sense, making it not only more powerful but also far more sensitive. Although he did not know the tracker was Yan Liu, he sensed a faint, indistinct Aura persistently following him.

He didn’t even have to guess. It had to be Qin Wushuang’s handiwork, as only he wanted Su Han dead at every opportunity.

You want to kill me? You can try! Su Han’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them.

His first thought was not how to escape, but how to counter-attack and kill his pursuer. Since Qin Wushuang had sent someone to deal with him, this assassin would become a ticking time bomb if not eliminated. Who knew when it might go off? Su Han had no desire to be put in a passive position. Instead of waiting to act after he reached Qingmo City, it was better to seize the opportunity on the way to eliminate the tracker and prevent future trouble.

With this in mind, Su Han piloted the small Cloud Ship with one hand while taking out a jade plate with the other to carve Formation Patterns. No matter who the tracker was, their strength was bound to be greater than his own, so Su Han decided to use the Supreme Thunder Pearl. This treasure was a life-saving gift from his master, but Su Han felt that using it to kill the tracker sent by Qin Wushuang was a greater benefit. After all, Qin Wushuang himself was the greatest danger he faced.

He had inherited the Great Dao of Formations from the white-haired man’s memories. While he could not lay a Dao Formation or a Holy Formation yet, he could still manage to complete a Supreme Grade Array with some effort. The formation he intended to set up this time was the Breath Concealment Array. This array could not only shield his own Aura, making him undetectable, but also block the five senses and six consciousnesses of others, lowering their guard. It was a perfect formation for concealment and ambush.

Su Han calmly carved the Formation Patterns, preparing the formation like a fisherman weaving a net, ready to land a big catch.

Meanwhile, Yan Liu was completely unaware that he had been exposed or that Su Han had already decided to kill him. He continued to follow stealthily, searching for a suitable opportunity to strike.

The small Cloud Ship flew north out of Qian Yuan City, quickly leaving the territory of the Great Qian Dynasty and entering another country. The journey from Qian Yuan City to Qingmo City would take seven or eight days, even at the speed of the small Cloud Ship. During this time, Su Han carved Formation Patterns day and night, all while carefully sensing the Aura of the person tracking him.

The path of formations was complex and profound. Even a formation genius would need to expend immense energy and resources to slowly accumulate experience and learn to set up arrays swiftly. But Su Han had received the memory inheritance from the white-haired man, absorbing it all at once and skipping countless years of arduous cultivation. Because this was his first time carving the patterns, his technique was clumsy at first, but the inherited memories allowed him to become increasingly adept. After a full day and night, the jade plate was densely covered with fly-sized Formation Patterns.

By then, the jade plate had transformed into an Array Plate, capable of activating the Breath Concealment Array with a surge of Spiritual Energy.

Everything is ready. All I need now is the right moment. With the Array Plate complete, Su Han let out a sigh of relief. He then quickly began absorbing ambient energy to restore his own Spiritual Energy, adjusting his state to prepare for the fatal strike.

Three days later, Su Han was passing through a deep, dense forest. It was a desolate and wild place, rarely visited by people and filled only with the roars of beasts and the cries of birds—a primitive, savage land.

The opportunity is here! Su Han’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint bursting forth. He felt the tracker behind him growing restless and ready to make a move. With that, he began to activate the Array Plate. The Breath Concealment Array spread silently, enveloping the entire small Cloud Ship like a massive spiderweb waiting for its prey.

At the same time, within the dense forest, Yan Liu sped through the trees with his eyes fixed firmly on Su Han, his heart filled with an intense killing intent. This place is remote and teeming with demonic beasts. If I kill him and destroy the body, not even Elder Lei Ming will find a single clue. With his mind made up, he resolved to act here.

He began to perform a Secret Technique to conceal his Aura, accelerating toward the small Cloud Ship. He remembered his master’s words: even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Therefore, he planned to sneak up on Su Han and launch a surprise attack to ensure a fatal blow.

Yan Liu, a cultivator in the Physique Realm, was two Great Realms higher than Su Han. He was confident that Su Han would be unable to see through his Breath Concealment Secret Technique. Indeed, everything went smoothly, and he quickly drew near the small Cloud Ship.

Yan Liu let out a sinister sneer, his Spiritual Energy circulating as he prepared to unleash a devastating Thunderbolt Strike to annihilate Su Han.

However, just at that moment, Su Han, who had his back to him, suddenly turned around. Holding the Supreme Thunder Pearl, he sneered, ”The one who’s going to die is you!”
