Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

”Such a powerful Jie Character Secret!”

Staring at Jing Yun, who had been killed with a single punch, Su Han himself was astonished. This was the first time he had unleashed the Jie Character Secret, and its power was even more formidable than he had anticipated.

Even though Jing Yun was seriously injured, he was still a Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer expert. Furthermore, the Jing Tribe possessed a trace of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, giving them robust physical bodies not inferior to an ordinary Special Physique.

Even so, Jing Yun had been unable to withstand the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist enhanced by the Jie Character Secret.

Furthermore, Su Han discovered that the Jie Character Secret could be unleashed simultaneously with the Dou Character Secret. The Dou Character Secret was already capable of transforming myriad laws and enhancing the power of Martial Techniques. If the two were combined, the result would be simply unimaginable.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

A dozen powerful Dragon Qi Demon Beasts rapidly closed in, pulling Su Han from his elation back to reality.

”There are too many Dragon Qi Demon Beasts, and some of Jing Yun and Xiao Tian’s followers are still alive. I can’t stay here long. I have to leave now!”

Staring at the rampaging horde of Dragon Qi Demon Beasts, Su Han quickly composed himself, waved his hand, and collected Jing Yun’s enormous corpse into his Bronze Ring.

Although Jing Yun didn’t have a Special Physique, his unique bloodline and massive body contained potent flesh and blood energy, making him the perfect meal for the Great Majestic Demon King.

”Withdraw!”

There was no time to destroy the corpse and erase the traces. Su Han swiftly took out the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead, then unleashed the Character Technique of Motion and headed down the mountain.

Soon, the dozen Dragon Qi Demon Beasts reached the mountaintop, but the battle there had already ended. Seeing the empty blood pool, they roared furiously, shaking the forest.

Meanwhile, Su Han used the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead to conceal himself. Unseen by anyone, he slipped past Dragon Qi Demon Beasts and prodigies alike, moving against the flow as he descended the mountain. Thanks to the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead and the Character Technique of Motion, Su Han’s escape from Dragon Blood Mountain was completely unobstructed. He then chose a direction and departed swiftly.

At that moment, the followers of Xiao Tian and Jing Yun were still on Dragon Blood Mountain. They lacked the strength to reach the summit and were thus unaware of the great battle that had occurred there. However, when they sensed that Xiao Tian’s and Jing Yun’s auras had vanished, their expressions changed drastically.

”What happened? Why has Young Master Xiao Tian’s aura disappeared? Could he have been killed by Jing Yun?”

The two remaining followers of Xiao Tian went pale, their eyes brimming with intense fear.

Xiao Tian was a prodigy of the Xiao Family. If he were dead, it would be a grave matter, and the two of them would likely be implicated. Thinking of this, they were filled with dread.

The followers of Jing Yun also harbored similar thoughts. After all, Xiao Tian and Jing Yun were comparable in background, talent, and strength; they were the only ones capable of killing each other.

As for Su Han, they didn’t even consider him. After all, Su Han was far too weak; the last they had seen of him, he was only at the Ninth Layer of the Physique Realm. A difference of an entire Great Realm was insurmountable, so no one suspected Su Han.

BOOM!

Amidst the chaos on Dragon Blood Mountain, a black rainbow swiftly flew from afar. It streaked through the sky like a meteor, appearing before Dragon Blood Mountain.

The black rainbow revealed a robust man.

The man had copper-toned skin and bulging muscles, resembling a humanoid tyrannosaurus. Black hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his deep, profound eyes exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

His rugged features and unruly air gave him a sharp, unconcealed presence.

A Heavenly King Realm’s pressure radiated from him, as ferocious as a wild beast stalking its prey. It was an unnerving power that was difficult to resist and made one’s scalp tingle.

”Who is this?”

The pressure of the Heavenly King Realm was so intense that it instantly drew the attention of the prodigies and Dragon Qi Demon Beasts on Dragon Blood Mountain. They dared not meet the man’s gaze and trembled uncontrollably, like wild beasts in the forest facing the king of all beasts.

”It’s Di Yuan!” someone recognized the man.

”Indeed, that’s Di Yuan. He’s ranked sixty-second on the Prodigy Rankings and is a follower of the Tian Lou Saint. What’s he doing here?”

”Di Yuan is already in the Heavenly King Realm. Although he doesn’t have a Special Physique, he has a Semi-Demon bloodline. Could he be here for the True Dragon Essence Blood?”

”My God, this Di Yuan is too powerful. Just this aura of his is almost suffocating me.”

The crowd was abuzz with discussions, staring at Di Yuan in horror.

As a prodigy on the Prodigy Rankings, Di Yuan was infamous throughout the Eastern Region.

Rumor had it that he once massacred an entire city. A million lives perished at his hands. Coincidentally, the Tian Lou Saint passed by and, intrigued by him, personally intervened. The Saint Heir defeated Di Yuan three consecutive times before finally subduing him.

Among the Tian Lou Saint’s five followers, the strongest was Xuan Song, but Xuan Song’s power came from his Mountain Subduing Sacred Body.

In a true life-or-death struggle, however, Di Yuan’s chances of winning might be even greater than Xuan Song’s. This was because Di Yuan possessed a Semi-Demon bloodline and had grown up in the kill-or-be-killed mountains of the Demon Race, surviving countless deadly battles. As a result, his combat prowess and willpower far surpassed those of ordinary people.

WHOOSH!

At this moment, Di Yuan paid no attention to the others’ gazes and landed at the foot of Dragon Blood Mountain. Even at the Heavenly King Realm, the Dragon’s Might of the mountain forced him to ascend step by step. With his power, however, no Dragon Qi Demon Beast dared to obstruct him.

Shortly after, Di Yuan smoothly reached the summit. The area was a devastated, blood-stained ruin. The blood pool was completely dry, without a single drop of True Dragon Essence Blood.

”Blood Scent Analysis!”

Di Yuan’s nose twitched as he sniffed the bloody air. He quickly confirmed the deaths of Xiao Tian and Jing Yun. Among the scents, he also detected the bloody scent of a third person.

”Su Han!”

Di Yuan’s eyes brightened with a fierce gleam as he identified the third person as Su Han, the very man he was tasked to kill. Moreover, mixed within the scent of Su Han’s blood was an extremely faint, nearly imperceptible trace—the scent of Kong Sha.

Yes, that’s definitely Kong Sha’s scent. I can’t be mistaken.

”I never expected Kong Sha to die by your hand too!” Di Yuan’s expression became solemn and ghastly. The Tian Lou Saint had sent him to find the murderer and Su Han. Unexpectedly, they were one and the same.

This is even better. It saves me time.

I wonder what kind of incredible monster this Su Han is to have slain Zi Qiong, Xuan Song, and Kong Sha one after another. But I’m no pushover like Xuan Song. When you face me, your death will be gruesome.

”Bloody Pursuit Technique!”

Di Yuan reached out his hand. Immediately, the unique scent of Su Han’s blood was drawn out from the air, forming a thread of blood that swirled in his palm. He then activated a Secret Technique, and instantly, the thread of blood shot forward, tracking the direction in which Su Han had fled.

This was a unique method of Di Yuan’s. Watching the blood thread fly away, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

”Su Han, I’m coming to hunt you down!”
