Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

”Great Majestic Demon King, lend me your strength!”

Su Han summoned the Great Majestic Demon King. Soon, the scorching Black Blade Demonic Qi surged into his body, plunging him into a Demonized State and transforming him drastically.

”An Evil Demon? I didn’t expect your Demonic Technique to be so high-level. Still, this is what makes the slaughter so thrilling.”

Seeing Su Han’s transformation, Di Yuan was slightly amazed. However, since he himself had also taken on a Semi-Demon appearance, he was not overly surprised.

”Slaughter Eight Styles: Adding Wings to a Tiger!”

Di Yuan executed the Slaughter Eight Styles again. Evil Qi surged around him, condensing into a pair of wings on his back. With a flap of his wings, Di Yuan’s speed soared. Like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey, the difference between life and death would be decided in an instant.

WHOOSH!

Gripping the Tiger Bone Halberd, Di Yuan charged straight toward Su Han. His speed was extreme, and he made no fancy maneuvers, taking a direct line. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Su Han.

The great halberd swept across the sky, crashing down with an unstoppable force. It was like the Monkey King wielding his golden cudgel—mighty, heavy, and invincible.

Su Han did not retreat. He gripped his Black Blade and met the attack head-on, clashing fiercely with Di Yuan.

He only had ten minutes. He had to deal with Di Yuan quickly. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaowan would never be able to hold off Qing Wu.

Although he had not known Zhang Xiaowan for long, they had been through life and death together and shared many hardships. Their friendship was not shallow, so he could not just stand by and watch her die for his sake.

CLANG!

The Black Blade collided with the Tiger Bone Halberd, sending sparks flying. The metallic clash was sharp and piercing, a sound that could split a person’s skull.

Terrible shockwaves spread out like ripples that swelled into a raging tide, sending explosive booms through the air.

”Kill!” Di Yuan’s eyes gleamed with murderous light. He broke into a wide grin, filled with a lust for slaughter and the thrill of combat.

”Fight!” Su Han remained fearless. The domineering aura of a Demon Emperor emanated from him, and his invincible Dao Heart was on full display.

In his Demonized State, Su Han’s speed, strength, and defensive power had all increased significantly. Most importantly, he now possessed an extraordinary self-healing ability.

Therefore, Su Han showed no mercy, adopting a strategy of trading blow for blow.

Di Yuan was already injured, his Spiritual Sea still damaged and unrecovered. Facing Su Han’s tactic of trading injury for injury, he was finding it difficult to cope. Although he showed no signs of defeat, his wounds were steadily increasing.

”Worthy of a Sacred Body. You people with Special Physiques truly are the darlings of Heaven and Earth, but what I enjoy most is brutally slaughtering geniuses!”

Su Han’s powerful Physical Body only made Di Yuan more excited. The stronger and more monstrous his opponent, the more intense the pleasure he derived from slaughtering them.

The first time he had seen the Tian Luo Saint, he had also been the one to attack, but unfortunately, he was ultimately defeated.

”Slaughter Eight Styles: The Might of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers!”

Di Yuan executed the Slaughter Eight Styles once more. This time, his strength surged dramatically. This was not because he had broken free from the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, but due to the special nature of this Martial Technique.

His strength instantly doubled. His arms bulged, and his muscles swelled until they were as robust as mountains.

As the halberd fell, Su Han felt an overwhelming and terrifying force that drove him back again and again.

”Come! Fight! Kill!” Di Yuan was a battle maniac and a slaughter fanatic. Now fully immersed in combat, he disregarded everything else. He thought of nothing but his target, Su Han, with only one thought in his mind: torture and kill him in the most brutal way possible!

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Su Han gripped the Black Blade, conjuring thunderbolts that merged with his Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame as he slashed at Di Yuan repeatedly.

Although Su Han’s Bronze Ring contained many spoils of war, items like the Rotting Poison Pearl and the Golden Light Fiery Mirror were of little use to him now. Against an enemy like Di Yuan, their effects were negligible.

Therefore, he wore the Dragon Silkworm Silk Gloves on his left hand, gripped the Black Blade tightly in his right, and put on the Ghostly Face Mask. This trio of items brought him to his strongest state.

RUMBLE!

Su Han and Di Yuan were once again locked in a fierce, white-hot battle. On the other side, Zhang Xiaowan’s task of stalling for ten minutes was proving to be on hell mode difficulty.

Qing Wu held a Banana Leaf Dao Fan. With a gentle wave, a storm-like Fury Spirit Flame billowed toward Zhang Xiaowan. Although Zhang Xiaowan had Phantom Trace Steps, the gap in their strength was too wide. She was no match for Qing Wu and could only continuously dodge.

At the same time, she channeled all her strength into the Demonic Sound Dao Bell. The Demonic Sounds resonated, disturbing Qing Wu in an attempt to buy more time.

However, she had used a Forbidden Technique earlier. While she had severely wounded Di Yuan’s Spiritual Sea, she had also inflicted irreversible damage upon herself. Her face was now pale and her spirit was drained.

”I don’t have time to play with you!”

Qing Wu was not here to play. She had come on the Tian Luo Saint’s orders with Su Han as her target. How could she possibly let Zhang Xiaowan hold her back?

”True Phoenix Dharma Physique!”

Qing Wu’s aura surged as she quickly condensed her Heaven and Earth Physique. A giant phoenix appeared behind her. This bird was so lifelike and vivid it seemed to breathe, its form splendidly colorful and incomparably beautiful.

”With Physique Fusion, you stand no chance!”

Qing Wu glanced at Zhang Xiaowan and immediately began the Physique Fusion. Suddenly, her entire body shone with a brilliant azure light, which then gathered into glowing feathers on her jade arms. She looked like a noble and elegant phoenix princess.

Meanwhile, Qing Wu’s aura surged tremendously, bringing her infinitely close to the Heavenly King Realm and further widening the gap in power between her and Zhang Xiaowan.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Phoenix Dance!”

Qing Wu directly unleashed the Divine Power Technique. Her graceful figure began to dance swiftly, the movements beautiful and a pleasure to behold.

As she danced, azure ripples burst forth from her body. Everywhere they passed, space trembled and all things crumbled to dust.

The azure ripples soon reached Zhang Xiaowan. She was struck hard and sent flying backward, vomiting blood in midair, severely injured.

The Phoenix Dance was not just for show; its power was incomparably formidable and far beyond what Zhang Xiaowan could withstand. Defeated by the Divine Power Technique, it seemed she would not be able to last for even three minutes, let alone ten.

I promised Xiao Su Su, and I will keep my word!

Zhang Xiaowan saw the fierce battle between Su Han and Di Yuan. She knew that if Qing Wu joined that fight, Su Han’s chances of survival would be slim to none. It would truly be too late to turn things around.

Despite the risks and the immense danger, Zhang Xiaowan had made up her mind.

She stared fixedly at Qing Wu, her pretty face a mask of determination.

”Low-Grade Forbidden Technique: Great Soul Destruction Sound!”

She once again severed a piece of her soul, unleashing the Forbidden Technique and transforming it into the Great Soul Destruction Sound to strike at Qing Wu.

”Are you insane?” Qing Wu was shocked to see Zhang Xiaowan use another Forbidden Technique, but this only intensified her killing intent. ”Since you’re so eager to die, I will grant you your wish!”
