Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

This slash condensed all of Su Han’s Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi. It was an unstoppable and lethal strike. But as he unleashed it, Su Han’s brows furrowed slightly. He felt that although the slash had severely wounded Xuan Song, it had not killed him. The defensive power of Xuan Song’s armor and his Mountain-Suppressing Sacred Body was simply too strong.

With that thought, Su Han took out a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone to restore his Demonic Qi while swiftly closing in with the Black Blade in hand, intent on striking while his enemy was down.

At this moment, Xuan Song lay in a large crater, with a pool of crimson blood gathering beneath him. A colossal wound ran through his chest and abdomen, so deep that it exposed bone and had nearly cleaved him in two. However, Xuan Song’s armor was also a Supreme Grade Dao Artifact. This, combined with his inherently tough Mountain-Suppressing Sacred Body, was how he had barely managed to block Su Han’s deadly strike.

”Damn you! How dare you injure me!” Xuan Song’s pale face was full of gloom and fury. He found it absolutely unacceptable that he had sustained such a heavy injury, especially one inflicted by Su Han. He felt his dignity had been provoked, a stain that must be washed away with blood.

SWISH!

At that moment, Su Han pressed his attack, closing the distance in an instant. The Black Blade, swift as lightning, slashed down again, aiming to end Xuan Song’s life. Though shocked, Xuan Song reacted quickly, raising his Heavy Golden Dao Spear horizontally to block the strike.

Unfortunately, Su Han’s Demonic Qi was exhausted, so this slash lacked power. If he could have performed the Heaven and Earth Slash again, he would have certainly killed Xuan Song. But he did not give up. With the Black Blade in hand, he continued to unleash a flurry of strikes. Thanks to the blade’s sharpness, every blow that landed on Xuan Song left another wound. Gradually, Xuan Song was beaten back as the injuries on his body multiplied.

”Ahhh! I’ll kill you!” Xuan Song’s eyes were bloodshot. He roared and bellowed like a furious Vajra. ”Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique!”

Xuan Song came from the Tian Luo Net Holy Land and possessed a Forbidden Technique that could unleash extremely powerful strength. A Forbidden Technique was a type of secret technique that was powerful but also exacted a huge price. Each one could cause irreversible damage to a martial artist, which was why they were forbidden. However, with his heart surging with rage and facing a life-and-death crisis, Xuan Song no longer hesitated.

BOOM!

The Qi-Blood within Xuan Song ignited instantly. A blood-red light, bright as the sun, burst forth from his body like a volcanic eruption. Under the effects of the Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique, his resistance to the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation grew stronger, and his strength rapidly recovered to the Ninth Layer of the Physique Realm. Combined with his Mountain-Suppressing Sacred Body and various other skills, he could even battle a martial artist in the Divine Power Realm.

A single spear thrust, as heavy as a mountain, sent Su Han flying back a hundred meters before he barely managed to stop. At this moment, Xuan Song had used the Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique to restore his strength to the peak of the Physique Realm’s Ninth Layer. In contrast, Su Han’s Demonic Qi was exhausted and he was in poor condition. The tables had turned once again.

”You lowly ant, crawl over here and die!” Xuan Song’s face was ferocious as blood-red light erupted from his body. Holding the Dao Spear, his domineering presence blotted out the sky, making him look like a powerful and terrifying evil demon that had crawled out from Hell.

BANG!

Xuan Song stomped fiercely. The ground beneath his feet collapsed with a thunderous crash, leaving a deep pit. Propelled by the recoil, his speed increased dramatically, and he appeared before Su Han in the blink of an eye.

”Earth Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Tai Mount Crush!”

Xuan Song’s aura was overwhelming. Holding the Heavy Golden Dao Spear, he poured robust energy into it and violently slammed it down. This strike was like a mythical giant swinging a divine club, seemingly powerful enough to shatter an entire continent. The terrifying force made the air roar and tremble. A surging wave of energy swept through the valley, kicking up dust and stones like a passing typhoon. This strike was even more powerful than before, like a real mountain crashing down, intent on smashing Su Han into a meat patty.

SWISH!

Su Han dared not take the hit head-on. He quickly used the Character Technique of Motion and Lightning Fast to dodge the spear.

”You can’t escape! I said I would kill you, and I will!” Gripping the Heavy Golden Dao Spear, Xuan Song suddenly changed his attack from a smash to a sweep, sending the spear hurtling toward Su Han’s body.

”Dragon Phoenix Protection!”

”Adorned with Stars and Moon!”

”Star Shifting Technique!”

”Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!”

Although Su Han had exhausted his Demonic Qi, his Origin Techniques consumed Qi-Blood. He fully activated his Sacred Body, invoking four Origin Techniques to form his strongest possible defense.

CRASH!

Su Han’s defense was strong, but Xuan Song, empowered by the Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique, was stronger. The Heavy Golden Dao Spear swept across and slammed into the hundred-meter magnetic field. The field’s attraction made the spear feel as if it were stuck in mud, but it could only slow its speed and lessen its power, not block it completely.

CRACK!

The Heavy Golden Dao Spear struck the Dragon Phoenix Protection, which instantly fractured and shattered. It then slammed into the Starry Moon Armor, breaking it to pieces as well. In the face of Xuan Song’s Forbidden Technique, his strongest defense was useless. The Heavy Golden Dao Spear finally smashed into Su Han’s body, sending him flying sideways. He crashed into a mountain with such force that an adjacent peak collapsed into a pile of rubble.

Fortunately, the bones of Su Han’s upper body had all been refined into Great Luo Golden Bone; otherwise, that single strike would have fractured his bones and shattered his organs. Even so, Su Han coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. His face was as pale as paper, and his aura was feeble, leaving him weakened to the extreme.

”Origin Technique: Heavier than Tai Mount!”

Xuan Song closed in rapidly and unleashed his Origin Technique. Wary of the Black Netherworld Flower, he dared not use his Heaven and Earth Physique directly, but his Origin Technique was unaffected. A blood-stained yellow light shot out and fell upon Su Han. In that instant, Su Han felt his body become incredibly heavy. He could not even lift a finger, as if he had donned an impossibly weighty suit of armor.

”Die!”

Xuan Song raised his hand and thrust the spear at Su Han’s head. The air was pierced instantly, the spear’s penetrating force seeming capable of destroying everything.

”Origin Technique: Shape-Shifting Shadow!”

Su Han clenched his teeth and used Shape-Shifting Shadow, switching places with Xuan Song. The attack missed, plunging into the ground and leaving a bottomless black hole.

”I’ll see how many times you can dodge!”

Xuan Song spun around and charged at Su Han again. Each thrust was powerful enough to pierce mountains and shatter the universe, terrifyingly potent. Even with his Great Luo Golden Bone, Su Han would be severely injured, if not killed, by these thrusts. Moreover, having used the Blood Ignition Forbidden Technique, Xuan Song had reached the peak of the Physique Realm’s Ninth Layer in terms of Spiritual Energy, strength, and Divine Sense. Even the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation’s suppression of him had diminished considerably. In contrast, Su Han was not only hampered by the immense weight but was also out of Demonic Qi and covered in wounds.

Was he supposed to flee in a panic like a stray dog?

No! I will never flee! I’m going to kill him!

Having made his decision, Su Han steeled his heart. He clenched the Black Blade tightly and silently chanted in his mind:

Demonization!
