Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Trapped in a Deadly Situation

WHOOSH!

As soon as the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord’s voice fell, eighteen black columns of light shot into the sky, rapidly intertwining to form a celestial prison. This was a Low Grade Dao Formation known as the Eighteen Prison Formation, capable of sealing off the very heavens and earth with its immense power.

Once the formation was activated, the air grew thick and viscous, as if everyone was mired in a swamp. Every movement became several times more difficult, and the circulation of Spiritual Energy in their bodies slowed.

”Do you think a mere formation is enough to challenge us?” Yun Mokong asked, recovering quickly from his initial shock. ”Although the Eighteen Prison Formation hinders us, there are three on our side. In a three-against-one fight, we still hold the clear advantage.”

”And what if you add us?”

An icy voice, as piercing as a midwinter gale, rang out, causing Yun Mokong’s expression to change drastically. Two figures appeared out of thin air, forming a triangle with the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord that trapped Su Han’s group in the center.

The speaker, like Yun Mokong, was a young man dressed in white. However, his skin was as pale as snow, almost translucent, and he emanated an unearthly chill, like ice that had not thawed for ten thousand years. His appearance caused the surrounding temperature to plummet to freezing, instantly turning the moisture in the air to frost.

”Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord!” Yun Mokong cried out, unable to believe his eyes.

The Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord was not just a True Disciple of the Heavenly Demon Cult; he possessed the Ice Sealing Emperor Body and was a powerhouse at the Seventh Layer of the Phenomenon Realm. His strength was even greater than Yun Mokong’s.

In another direction stood a slender woman in black robes. She remained perfectly still, yet radiated a palpable, bone-chilling killing intent.

”The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord is here too!” Tongyan’s expression turned grim, his gaze darkening. Although the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord lacked a Special Physique, the Demonic Technique she cultivated was incredibly potent. She excelled at ambushes and assassinations, making her a deeply feared opponent.

The Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord, the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord, and the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord. Three True Disciples of the Heavenly Demon Cult, all powerhouses at the Sixth or Seventh Layer of the Phenomenon Realm. Their arrival had instantly reversed the situation.

The Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord no longer needed to act as bait. Shedding all pretense, he laughed heartily. ”You’ve hunted me for so long and destroyed three of my Blood Puppets. It’s time you paid the price! To ambush you, we prepared not only this Eighteen Prison Formation but also the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead. Today, none of you will escape!”

Tongyan possessed the Qi Holy Body, and his Origin Technique, the Qi Observation Technique, allowed him to see the Destiny of others. The Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord had anticipated this and had specifically borrowed the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead. This bead was an Intermediate Grade Dao Artifact capable of shielding one’s aura and concealing one’s presence completely. It was precisely because of this that not even Tongyan had detected them in advance. They had fallen into the trap, and now it was too late.

Yun Mokong’s expression was as dark as a thundercloud. With the situation turned against him, he dared not continue his frenzied assault. Instead, he attempted to use the Seven Stars Sect’s reputation to force their retreat. ”You’ve brazenly stormed into Qingzhou! Do you not fear provoking a war between the Heavenly Demon Cult and our Seven Stars Sect?”

He and Tongyan were strong enough to hold off two of their opponents, but Su Han was far too weak. If a full-blown battle erupted, he would be killed almost instantly. They would then be left fighting two against three, suppressed by the Eighteen Prison Formation. Defeat would be certain, and they might even be killed.

”War? When have we and the Seven Stars Sect ever been at peace?” the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord sneered, his contempt for Yun Mokong palpable. ”Yun Mokong, you’re at death’s door and you’re still threatening us with such a laughable reason. I must say, you truly are a fool!”

If not for his apprehension toward Tongyan, the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord would have confronted Yun Mokong in a fight to the death long ago. Still, this was for the best. They now held every advantage—the right time, the right place, and the right people. This battle was guaranteed to be a total victory.

”Enough talk. Let’s finish this quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications!” the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord’s impatience was clear. He let out a cold snort, and an intense chill instantly saturated the air.

”Yun Mokong, I’ve taken a liking to your Spiritual King Body,” the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord grinned, his ghastly white teeth reminiscent of a vampire’s. ”I’m going to drain your spirit blood dry and let you savor the pain before you slowly die!”

”Phenomenon: Raging Blood Sea!”

The Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord was a powerhouse of the Phenomenon Realm. While he lacked a Special Physique, he could still condense his own Acquired Phenomenon. His body erupted with a crimson glow, which transformed into a vast, churning sea of blood, its colossal waves roiling without end. Wielding the Demonic Blood Dao Calabash, he charged toward Yun Mokong, bringing his Blood Sea Phenomenon with him. ”Yun Mokong, now it’s my turn to kill you!”

”You? Kill me?” Yun Mokong roared, refusing to simply wait for death. Clutching his Mysterious Silver Dao Spear, he summoned his Luminous Spirit Pearl Phenomenon and met the attack.

RUMBLE!

The two clashed instantly, unleashing a battle that shook the heavens and the earth. However, due to the suppression from the Eighteen Prison Formation, Yun Mokong could only unleash eighty percent of his power, immediately putting him at a disadvantage.

”Phenomenon: Thousand-Mile Ice Seal!”

At that moment, the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord also made his move. He activated his Ice Sealing Emperor Body, and his Phenomenon materialized behind him: a vast landscape of silver-clad mountains and frozen rivers. The cold it emanated was so intense it seemed capable of freezing anything on contact. Meanwhile, the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord brandished a White Bone Chain, cracking the very air as he lashed it fiercely toward the Thunder Light Treasure Ship.

This White Bone Chain was also a Low Grade Dao Artifact. Forged from some unknown, inherently frigid bone, its power was magnified when combined with the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord’s Ice Sealing Emperor Body. Wherever the chain passed, the air cracked and was coated in a fine frost capable of freezing anything in its path. Not even a mountain thousands of feet tall could withstand it.

Among the three, the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord, who possessed the Ice Sealing Emperor Body, was the strongest—even more powerful than the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord.

”Phenomenon: Life and Death Reincarnation!”

Tongyan’s expression grew solemn as he swiftly deployed his own Phenomenon. An illusory cycle of life and death manifested, blocking the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal. At the same time, he drew his Flame Spirit Dao Sword, his Spiritual Energy erupting from him with an intimidating aura. ”Su Han, I’m entrusting the Thunder Light Treasure Ship to you. You don’t need to fight them head-on, just buy us some time,” Tongyan instructed before shooting into the sky to face the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord.

Yun Mokong battled the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord while Tongyan contested the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord, leaving only Su Han and the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord.

The Yinsha Junior Demon Lord was a powerhouse at the Sixth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm, possessing exceptional strength on par with Luo Hongyi. Moreover, she specialized in stealth and assassination. Her attacks were not only incredibly fast but also treacherously lethal and nearly impossible to defend against. Tongyan had left the Thunder Light Treasure Ship, hoping Su Han could use its speed to stall her.

However, Su Han did not avoid the confrontation. Instead, he drew the Black Blade and faced the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord head-on.

So what if they’re in the Phenomenon Realm? It’s not like I haven’t killed one before!

”Kill!”

Su Han’s eyes narrowed as he took the initiative and charged forward.

With this blade, I can slay anyone under the heavens!
