Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The man with the hooked nose was very strong. Although he did not possess a Special Physique, his killing intent was intense. With his Ninth-Layer Physique Realm strength, the Blood Punishment Blade Technique, and a Beheading Blade, his power could rival that of a Divine Power Realm Martial Artist. But he ultimately died at Su Han’s hands; his soul shattered, making reincarnation extremely difficult. Although Su Han’s Nine Heavens Eye was only at the Second Layer, it was a Divine Method whose power was not something an ordinary person could withstand. Furthermore, the hooked-nose man was already seriously injured. In his final moments, he was even struck by the backlash from his own killing blow. His spirit collapsed and his will hit rock bottom, allowing Su Han to land a successful killing strike.

”You actually killed Wu Sha!” Cang Lang’s entire body stiffened. He stared at Su Han in shock, his limbs turning to ice.

Wu Sha was a top-tier, bronze-badge assassin with incredible strength. Our team was formed with him as the leader. Now that even Wu Sha is dead, how can we possibly fight?

Luo Qian, Hong Li, and Wu Sha were all dead. Now, only he and Ying Liu remained. Cang Lang’s heart sank to the depths, knowing the assassination had completely failed. Moreover, I’m in an extremely dangerous situation. I have to escape, or I’ll follow in Wu Sha’s footsteps. I only came for the mission reward. I don’t want to die here. Escape!

Without hesitation, Cang Lang turned and fled. He dropped to all fours as a fierce wind swirled around him, making him incredibly fast. Not only that, but he also took a talisman from his Storage Ring which boosted his speed again, allowing him to move like a flash of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was a kilometer away. However, Su Han’s figure, though starting later, arrived first, appearing right in front of him.

Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!

With his left hand clenched, Su Han executed the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist with his Dragon Silkworm Silk Gloves. Instantly, a Golden Fist Radiance, brilliant as a sun, shot fiercely toward Cang Lang.

Cang Lang’s pupils contracted as he felt an intense sense of crisis. This was the same punch that had broken his right claw. Facing it again, he was filled with terror, his will to fight already wavering.

THUMP!

Despite his desperate resistance, Cang Lang was still sent flying by the punch. He crashed to the ground, and his demon blood formed a gruesome pool beneath him.

WHOOSH!

Su Han showed no mercy. His Black Blade flashed like lightning as he slashed through the air, severing Cang Lang’s legs. With that, there was no way for him to escape.

However, Su Han did not press Cang Lang for information. Instead, his figure flickered and dashed in another direction. Cang Lang was already a turtle in a jar, completely trapped, but Ying Liu, who was hidden in the Void, was someone Su Han absolutely could not let get away.

Ying Liu’s assassination technique is too strong. If I let him escape, I’ll be under constant mental strain, which is unacceptable. Therefore, I must keep him here and kill him!

Although Su Han could no longer use the Nine Heavens Divine Light for the time being, his Nine Heavens Eye was still active, and he was able to track Ying Liu’s movements.

Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!

Su Han acted swiftly, intertwining Samadhi True Fire with Triple Chilling Nether Qi to form a six-petaled Ice-Fire Lotus. He hurled it toward a certain spot, and instantly, that entire area of space exploded as violent energy surged like a raging tide.

A shadow was forced out. He was dressed in all black, with half of his body still hidden in the Void. His face was masked, making it impossible to see his true features. Su Han didn’t need to see his face, however; he only needed to force Ying Liu out.

Physique Realm, Seventh Layer! Su Han narrowed his eyes. I didn’t expect Ying Liu’s realm to be so low. He’s only at the Seventh Layer of the Physique Realm, much weaker than the hooked-nose man, yet his assassination technique was enough to kill Luo Qian and Hong Li in succession. Truly extraordinary.

Now forced to reveal himself, Ying Liu had no intention of getting entangled with Su Han. The way of the assassin was to strike once and flee a thousand miles if the attack failed. He had already failed twice. If it hadn’t been for the hooked-nose man’s presence, he would have fled long ago. Now that the hooked-nose man was dead and Cang Lang couldn’t even save himself, he naturally didn’t want to risk staying here.

He activated his Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique, the Shadow Void Evasion Technique. As an assassin, he wasn’t one for flashy tricks and was proficient in only two Martial Techniques: the art of assassination and this evasion technique. The latter not only helped him hide in the Void but also allowed him to escape quickly after a failed attempt. His body cloaked in shadows, he once again slipped into the Void and vanished.

The Shadow Void Evasion Technique was extremely clever. To the naked eye, it was virtually impossible to detect Ying Liu’s whereabouts. However, under the Nine Heavens Eye, it was possible to capture his trajectory.

”You can’t escape from me!” Su Han’s eyes glinted with murderous intent. He quickly activated the Character Technique of Motion and Lightning Fast, his speed exploding to thirteen times its normal rate, making him slightly faster than Ying Liu’s Shadow Void Evasion Technique.

Although the Shadow Void Evasion Technique was powerful, Ying Liu was not a Heavenly King Realm expert. He didn’t control Spatial Force and couldn’t use Teleportation, so Su Han quickly caught up to him.

Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!

Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!

Su Han struck swiftly, aiming to heavily injure Ying Liu. However, although Ying Liu’s head-on combat abilities were lacking, he was extremely skilled at escaping and managed to evade Su Han’s attacks one after another.

Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!

Su Han cast the technique, attempting to immobilize Ying Liu. However, Ying Liu was only restrained for a moment before he broke free.

This outcome made Su Han’s heart sink. This Ying Liu is far from simple. Even without a Special Physique, he must have had some extraordinary fortune. In a head-on battle, I’m confident I could defeat or even kill him. But as an assassin bent on escape, he gives me no opportunity for a direct fight.

Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!

Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!

Fiery Flame Storm!

Netherworld Cold Tide!

Su Han unleashed a barrage of techniques, attacking the space Ying Liu occupied. The terrifying energy fluctuations repeatedly forced Ying Liu out of the Void, inflicting heavy injuries on him. Still, this method failed to capture him, and it caused a vast depletion of Su Han’s Demonic Qi.

This can’t go on. I have to think of something else. Suddenly, Su Han’s eyes lit up as he recalled a certain item.

”Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, emerge!”

Su Han reached out his hand, and instantly, golden light burst forth, illuminating heaven and earth. A strong aura of Holy Might spread like a tidal wave. The Nine Palace Golden Pagoda appeared in Su Han’s hand. He then controlled it with the Secret of the Soldier Character and hurled it toward Ying Liu.

Although the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda bore the Divine Sense imprint of the Tian Lou Saint, preventing Su Han from fully controlling it, he could still use it as a weapon to strike others.

The intense Holy Might bore down on Ying Liu like an invisible mountain, drastically reducing his speed and making even the slightest movement extremely difficult. At that moment, the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda came crashing down like Tai Mount itself, slamming into him. The impact knocked him out of the Void, and he vomited blood as he crashed heavily to the ground, severely injured.

”This strike is to avenge your assassination attempt!”

Using the Character Technique of Motion, Su Han instantly appeared before Ying Liu. Then, with his Black Blade in hand, he slashed down like a bolt of lightning.

With a single slice, Ying Liu was decapitated, dying instantly.
