Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Dividing the Spoils

Su Han had once told Tongyan, ”If anyone attacks me, I will strike back!”

Yun Mokong had repeatedly tried to sabotage him. If Su Han did not kill him, his heart would never be at peace. If one could not live freely, settling scores and acting on their whims, would life not be a waste?

Su Han’s nature was decisive, clear-cut about his grudges and allegiances. For a despicable person like Yun Mokong, death was the only fitting end.

With Yun Mokong’s death, the arduous battle was finally over.

As for Tongyan, Su Han was not worried she would harm him. If she had wanted to, she’d had plenty of opportunities. Besides, he still owed her three conditions.

Letting out a long breath, Su Han plopped down onto the cold ground.

Tired. So incredibly tired.

The continuous battles had left him physically and mentally exhausted. He had ambushed the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord, been tricked by Yun Mokong into facing the Yin River Ghostly Kill, fought the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord, and finally hunted down Yun Mokong. Such a series of feats was beyond any ordinary cultivator in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Although Su Han had succeeded, he had paid a steep price.

Now, the last trace of Demonic Qi in his body was gone, leaving him completely empty. He was covered in severe wounds, his body a canvas of grave injuries. He had truly reached the end of his rope, completely spent.

”Quickly, take this Hundred-Herb Dao Elixir!”

A fragrant breeze wafted over as Tongyan swiftly approached, feeding a Healing Pill into Su Han’s mouth.

This was a Low Grade Dao Elixir, comparable to a Clear Essence Dao Elixir, with excellent healing effects. The moment Su Han swallowed it, he felt a warm current spread through his body, rapidly reaching his limbs and torso.

Dao Elixirs were incredibly precious, each one worth a fortune. They were not only refined from rare Spiritual Medicines but also contained a trace of Green Wood Dao Rhyme.

Wherever the warm current flowed, his shattered organs began to mend, his torn meridians reconnected, and his dull golden Qi-Blood regained its luster.

Su Han circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to accelerate the absorption of the elixir’s power, focusing his entire being on recovery. As for his safety, he chose to trust Tongyan.

His injuries this time were extremely severe. Even after refining the Hundred-Herb Dao Elixir, it took a full day and night for him to complete his initial recovery.

Slowly opening his eyes, Su Han exhaled a turbid breath. He felt light all over, the pain gone.

”How do you feel?”

Tongyan was right beside him, her own wounds still unhealed. It looked like she had stood guard over him for an entire day and night.

Su Han stood up and stretched, his bones cracking loudly like a string of firecrackers.

”My injuries have fully healed, but my Spiritual Energy is severely depleted and needs to be replenished!”

His Sacred Body already possessed exceptional self-healing abilities. Combined with the potency of the Hundred-Herb Dao Elixir, his recovery had been swift.

”Miss Tongyan, I’ve recovered. Please tend to your own wounds now!”

Tongyan’s face was still pale, and the bloodstains on her clothes remained. Su Han was touched and urged her to rest. Although the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable was long dead, no one knew what dangers might still lurk in the Supreme Cave Mansion. Tongyan had protected him while he was vulnerable; now it was his turn to protect her.

”Alright!”

Tongyan did not hesitate. She quickly took out her Healing Pills and began to recuperate.

She also possessed a Sacred Body. While it was not specialized for healing, it was still far superior to that of an ordinary Martial Artist. Paired with Dao Grade Healing Pills, she also recovered quickly.

Another day passed. Both Su Han and Tongyan had recovered most of their strength and were no longer as weak as before.

”Miss Tongyan, I have a friend whose Dantian was destroyed. I need the Yin Blood Demon Pill to save him. Could you let me have it? I’m willing to give up my share of all the other spoils of war.”

Only after Tongyan had fully recovered did Su Han broach the subject of the Yin Blood Demon Pill. He knew she had also expended great effort for the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord. If the pill was not crucial for Ning Feifan’s future in Martial Arts, he probably would not have contested her for it.

”Although this Yin Blood Demon Pill is comparable to a Dao Elixir, it’s not very useful to me. I wasn’t chasing the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord for the pill,” Tongyan said with a smile, leaving Su Han puzzled. If not for the pill, then what for?

”Using my Qi Observation Technique, I saw that the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord’s Destiny is prosperous. What I need is his Destiny, so you can just give me his corpse. As for the other spoils of war, how about we split them equally?”

Tongyan’s Qi Holy Body not only possessed an incredible amount of Destiny but could also absorb the Destiny of others to strengthen itself. Of course, not just any Destiny was worthy of her attention. The Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord’s Destiny was far more potent than that of ordinary prodigies, which was why she had targeted him.

”Okay!”

Hearing her proposal, Su Han agreed to the arrangement.

Su Han soon handed over the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord’s corpse to Tongyan. He also took out the bodies of the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord and the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord.

”These Dao Artifacts are yours. Their corpses are more useful to me.”

Su Han gave up treasures like the White Bone Chain and the Cicada Wing Devil Blade. The Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord’s Ice Sealing Emperor Body and Yun Mokong’s King’s Body were of greater use to him.

In the end, Su Han took the Dao Artifacts that were more suitable for him: the Demonic Blood Taoist Calabash and the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead.

Tongyan did not refuse, taking the White Bone Chain, the Cicada Wing Devil Blade, and the Mysterious Silver Dao Spear. They quickly divided the rest of the spoils, with Su Han claiming all the Spirit Gold to cultivate his Great Luo Golden Body.

It had to be said that while the battle was a brush with death, the rewards were immense. Not only did Su Han obtain two Special Physiques and two Dao Artifacts, but the value of the other treasures also exceeded ten million Spirit Stones. It was a hefty haul!

Once the spoils were distributed, the two decided to explore the Supreme Cave Mansion.

”The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable was a Supreme of the Demon Race who specialized in poison. Although this was his dwelling, it’s still filled with unknown dangers. Behind these nine stone doors, there could be treasure, or there could be peril,” Tongyan explained. Her knowledge of such places was vast. Not everyone who entered a Supreme’s dwelling was lucky; most encountered deadly dangers and perished. Fortunate souls were few and far between.

Moreover, since the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable specialized in poison, opening a door that concealed a Deadly Poison would be suicide.

”The Formation on this stone door isn’t too complicated. I can try to open it,” Su Han said. He had studied the Formation Patterns on the door earlier and was reasonably confident.

After some discussion, they decided to open the leftmost stone door.

The Formation was not complex, but Su Han lacked the strength to open it alone. He and Tongyan joined forces and barely managed to activate it.

RUMBLE!

At last, the stone door opened. With weapons in hand, Su Han and Tongyan stood tense and vigilant.

However, there was no danger beyond the doorway. Su Han and Tongyan peered inside, and their eyes widened in shock at what they saw.

This is...!
