Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: The Bloodthirsty Little Demon

Under the blue sky and white clouds, a small cloud ship streaked across the sky like a long rainbow, heading north.

Su Han used Spirit Stones to maintain a stealth array to avoid detection. After recovering his depleted Demonic Qi, he composed himself.

Su Han’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them. I guessed right. It was indeed Qin Wushuang who sent him.

He knew Yan Liu all too well. During the autumn examinations, if Elder Kui hadn’t intervened, he likely would have died at Yan Liu’s hands. As an Outer Sect Elder of the Seven Stars Sect and a disciple of Qin Wushuang, Yan Liu’s appearance spoke volumes.

The Empress may be dead, but my feud with the Qin Family is far from over. Striking first is the only way. Whether it’s Su Tian or Qin Wushuang, I must kill them. Otherwise, being constantly targeted by them will lead to endless future trouble.

Su Han was never one to sit and await his doom; a decisive and ruthless nature was his way. Otherwise, after obtaining the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, he could have simply taken Lu Yunxian and fled the capital. He could have gone elsewhere, waiting to return for revenge only after his cultivation was complete. Distinguishing clearly between kindness and enmity, and never letting a grudge last the night—this was Su Han’s true nature. That was why he chose to advance bravely, defeating the Great Crown Prince, Su Tian, in the autumn examination, exterminating the Qin Family, slaying the Empress, and even contending with Wang Tianqing. Moreover, after all this, he chose not to flee. Instead, he met the challenge head-on by going straight to the Seven Stars Sect to confront Qin Wushuang. Few people would be capable of making such a choice.

However, Qin Wushuang was a Supreme Realm powerhouse. For Su Han, killing him was harder than ascending to the heavens. Therefore, he needed to grow stronger and accumulate power continuously, but the killing intent in his heart would never be extinguished.

Qin Wushuang, I will kill you!

Pushing his hatred deep down, Su Han took out Yan Liu’s Storage Ring. Yan Liu was an Outer Sect Elder, sent by Qin Wushuang to hunt me. He must have had plenty of treasures on him. He began to take stock of his spoils.

The Storage Ring contained numerous treasures, with a complete assortment of elixirs, talismans, arrays, and artifacts. However, what captured Su Han’s attention most were a single pill and a talisman.

The talisman, of course, was the Great Extermination Qinggang Talisman that Qin Wushuang had bestowed upon Yan Liu. It was an offensive talisman capable of condensing a Qinggang Wind Slash, with power comparable to a strike from a Supreme. If Yan Liu had used the Great Extermination Qinggang Talisman first, the outcome of the battle would have been uncertain. It was a pity he had been too greedy, wanting to save it for later, thus giving Su Han the opportunity he needed.

A Superior Grade Dao Talisman... they really spared no expense to kill me. Although this Great Extermination Qinggang Talisman is slightly weaker than the Supreme Thunder Pearl, it still has the might of a strike from a First Layer Supreme Realm expert. It can be my new life-saving treasure. This talisman alone makes the fight worthwhile!

Su Han was pleasantly surprised by the power of the Great Extermination Qinggang Talisman. He carefully put it away, treating it as a new life-saving treasure.

If Qin Wushuang ever learned that the talisman he provided to kill Su Han had now become a treasure to protect him, he would probably cough up blood from sheer rage.

In addition to the Great Extermination Qinggang Talisman, Su Han also found a Low Grade Dao Pill in Yan Liu’s Storage Ring.

This pill was the size of a longan, a vibrant, gem-like green. It was perfectly round and lustrous like a pearl. A rich, refreshing fragrance emanated from it, soothing the senses with a single sniff.

A Qingyuan Dao Pill. This is a precious healing pill. Yan Liu must have kept it as a life-saving measure. Unfortunately for him, the Supreme Thunder Pearl was too powerful; he was killed before he even had a chance to take it.

Su Han recognized the Qingyuan Dao Pill. A look of delight crossed his face, and after a moment of consideration, he swallowed it.

His injuries from the great battle with Luo Hongyi were not yet fully healed. Normally, it would have taken him a month or two to recover completely. With this Qingyuan Dao Pill, however, things would be entirely different.

Dao Pills also contained a wisp of Dao Rhyme, which enhanced their medicinal potency with a trace of the Great Dao’s aura.

The Qingyuan Dao Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, transforming into a rich, potent medicinal energy that instantly suffused his body. Su Han felt a cool, refreshing sensation spread through him as the injuries to his meridians and organs began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.

An hour later, his injuries had completely healed. Not only that, but the vast amount of impurities left in his body from devouring Qian Yuan and Luo Hongyi had also been washed away. At this moment, Su Han’s body was practically translucent and his flesh shimmered. His Sacred Body glowed with radiance, and his Great Luo Golden Bones were brilliant. He was even stronger than before.

Su Han laughed. Yan Liu, I really must thank you for coming all this way to deliver such a feast! Not only had he avoided a loss in this battle, but he had also profited immensely. He had eliminated the threat of Yan Liu and completely healed his injuries with the Qingyuan Dao Pill. Combined with the Great Extermination Qinggang Talisman and the other spoils of war, Su Han was extremely satisfied.

The death of Yan Liu had resulted in the complete destruction of the deep mountains and dense forests, causing a great commotion in the region, but none of this was Su Han’s concern any longer.

Su Han resumed his journey north, continuing toward Qingmo City.

Dealing with Yan Liu was a minor matter. The top priority was hunting down the Bloodthirsty Little Demon King and obtaining the Yin Blood Demon Pill. Su Han had promised Ning Feifan that he would help repair his Dantian, and he intended to keep his word.

With his injuries healed and the threat of Yan Liu eliminated, Su Han spent the next few days traveling while tempering his Great Luo Golden Bones with the Golden Light Fierce Fire. He planned to refine all thirty of them to enhance their power and become even stronger.

A few days later, Su Han finally entered the territory of the Tianyun Dynasty, not far from Qingmo City.

The Tianyun Dynasty and the Tianqing Dynasty were of comparable strength, both relatively small kingdoms in Qingzhou. However, because of the Bloodthirsty Little Demon King’s massacres, the people lived in a constant state of panic, trembling with fear.

Suddenly, Su Han’s expression shifted as he spotted a faint, blood-red light in the distance radiating a Demonic Nature. Hmm? Could that be the Bloodthirsty Little Demon King? The man was notoriously elusive and difficult to track, and since he massacred cities wherever he went, encountering him by chance was a distinct possibility.

Since Su Han’s mission was to kill the Bloodthirsty Little Demon King, he would not ignore a potential lead. He maneuvered his small cloud ship, changed direction, and headed straight for the source of the blood-red light.

Soon, Su Han saw the source of the light: eight pillars of blood-red light formed an array that had enveloped an entire city and its populace.

This was a small city with few powerful experts, but it was home to hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians. They were now fleeing in panic, their cries and screams heart-wrenching.

SURGE!

The blood-red light surged like a tide toward the crowd. Anyone struck by it was instantly eroded and melted, dissolving into a pool of blood amidst screams and wails. This blood merged with the crimson light, making it shine even brighter and strengthening the power of the array.

The ordinary civilians, who were not even Martial Artists, could not resist such a cruel technique. They perished one after another, melting into vast pools of blood in a scene reminiscent of a living hell.

At this moment, Su Han’s gaze was as sharp as lightning as he stared toward a certain spot within the city.

He saw a handsome man in a blood-red robe with disheveled hair and sullen eyes. The man was maniacally controlling the array, laughing with exhilaration as he carried out the grand-scale slaughter.

Is that the Bloodthirsty Little Demon King?
