Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

While Martial Artists possess many techniques and great wisdom, they still feel pain and fear death. Puppets, on the other hand, do not, making the threat they pose just as terrifying.

Now, forty-nine puppets appeared, encircling Su Han completely and leaving no room for escape.

BOOM!

Su Han quickly entered the Demonized State. His body swelled to three meters tall and became enshrouded in swirling Demonic Qi. He exhaled thick vapor from his mouth and nose. The Demonic Horns on his head shone brightly, his limbs transformed into sharp, powerful Demonic Claws, and a pair of miniature Demonic Wings sprouted from his back. The transformation made him look like a young Demon God.

”ROAR!”

With a roar, a rhino-like Dragon Qi Demon Beast charged swiftly toward Su Han. Its horn sliced through the air like a sharp, broad blade, parting the wind with unstoppable momentum as it headed straight for him.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Wielding the Black Blade, Su Han watched as its Demonic Patterns lit up. Instantly, a Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame blazed fiercely, intertwining with lightning to form a destructive blade of thunder-fire that slashed directly at the rhinoceros horn.

Although the rhino-like Dragon Qi Demon Beast was strong, it was no match for Su Han. It was thrown back by the single slash, tumbling to the ground.

Su Han himself possessed the strength of the Sixth Layer of the Divine Power Realm. Combined with the Ghostly Face Mask and his Demonized State, his power was comparable to the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm. Below the Heavenly King Realm, few could defeat him.

But at this moment, Su Han was not facing a single Dragon Qi Demon Beast, but forty-nine puppets.

RUMBLE!

In an instant, all forty-nine puppets moved as one, swarming toward Su Han. Among them were Dragon Qi Demon Beasts with formidable physical bodies and gifted powerhouses with extraordinary talents. Although being controlled prevented them from using Divine Skills or Martial Techniques, their inherent strength was still immense.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Su Han donned the Dragon Silkworm Silk Gloves and clenched his left fist. The Golden Emperor Phantom emerged behind him, its power amplified to an unparalleled degree.

BOOM!

He threw a punch that instantly caused a Dragon Qi Demon Beast to explode, transforming it into a stream of pure Dragon Qi. Su Han immediately inhaled the stream, devouring and refining it.

However, when Su Han’s Black Blade bisected one of the gifted powerhouses at the waist, the opponent did not die. Instead, it rose again to continue its attack.

Clearly, simply killing these puppets was futile. To prevent any future trouble, they had to be completely annihilated and utterly shattered.

”Divine Power Technique: Blossoming with One Thought!”

Su Han once again employed his Divine Power Technique. His doppelganger had been destroyed before, but this was a product of the technique, not a true body of flesh and blood. Therefore, Su Han could regenerate it with only a small amount of time and power.

”Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!”

”Origin Technique: Fiery Flame Storm!”

”Origin Technique: Netherworld Cold Tide!”

Su Han’s doppelganger rapidly cast Divine Methods and Origin Techniques. Suddenly, Samadhi True Fire and Triple Chilling Nether Qi erupted, transforming the area into a landscape of icebergs and a sea of fire that enveloped the puppets and hindered their speed.

Fortunately, they lacked intelligence. Although the control technique of the resentful dragon’s Remnant Soul was decent, its grasp of combat was crude, giving Su Han plenty of room to maneuver.

”Origin Technique: Dragon Phoenix Protection!”

”Origin Technique: Adorned with Stars and Moon!”

”Origin Technique: Star Shifting Technique!”

”Origin Technique: Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!”

”Origin Technique: Nether King’s Protection!”

Su Han’s Original Body quickly employed the five great Origin Techniques, forming the strongest possible defense to withstand the numerous puppets’ attacks.

With his doppelganger casting spells to delay the puppets and his peerless defenses ensuring his safety, Su Han was ready to begin the slaughter.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Su Han struck with all his might. The Black Blade moved like lightning, unleashing heavenly Thunderbolts, and his Fist Blaze shook the world with power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Fortunately, there were no Heavenly King Realm experts among these puppets; otherwise, Su Han would have truly struggled. Puppets from the Divine Power Realm without their Divine Skills were like oversized sandbags. Though they felt no pain and feared no death, they were not difficult for Su Han to handle.

With one slash, a blade gleam interwoven with thunder and fire stretched a hundred meters across the sky, as if cleaving heaven and earth in two. It then precisely struck a Dragon Qi Demon Beast.

This Dragon Qi Demon Beast was instantly split in half, but under the control of the resentful dragon’s Remnant Soul, it did not die immediately. Su Han was prepared, however. The Thunderbolts on his blade’s gleam suddenly detonated, blasting the demon beast’s body to pieces.

With that, the Dragon Qi Demon Beast was completely annihilated, turning into a wisp of pure Dragon Qi that Su Han inhaled and swallowed.

”Origin Technique: Heavier than Mount Tai!”

Su Han’s doppelganger once again cast an Origin Technique. A brilliant yellow light shot out, striking Li Wuxie.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion and Lightning Fast, instantly closing the distance to Li Wuxie at thirteen times his normal speed.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

He clenched his left fist, and a terrifying force of three billion erupted—a punch more horrifying than a mountain crashing down.

Li Wuxie was skilled at using poison, but his physical strength was average. Furthermore, since his mind was already controlled, he was completely unable to use Divine Power Techniques or any other methods.

BANG!

The punch landed, and the terrifying force smashed Li Wuxie’s body into a bloody pulp.

”Great Majestic Demon King!”

Su Han plunged the Black Blade into the pulp, and the power of the Great Majestic Demon King instantly absorbed all of Li Wuxie’s flesh and blood.

With that, Li Wuxie was truly dead, leaving behind only a Storage Ring.

Su Han had no time to inspect his spoils. He pocketed the Storage Ring and continued his assault on the remaining puppets.

One minute later, Su Han had annihilated seven puppets.

Three minutes later, he had destroyed eleven. Aside from a significant drain on his Demonic Qi, he was uninjured.

Ten minutes later, eighteen puppets had been eliminated. The pressure on Su Han lessened considerably, and by coordinating perfectly with his doppelganger, his kill speed increased.

Thirty minutes later, only nineteen of the original forty-nine puppets remained. Bai Qiushui’s corpse had also been destroyed by Su Han, becoming nourishment for the Great Majestic Demon King.

An hour later, all the puppets were slain. Not a single enemy was left standing.

HUFF! HUFF!

Su Han panted heavily as he exited the Demonized State. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was as pale as paper. His doppelganger had also dissipated on its own due to the excessive consumption of Demonic Qi.

Although Su Han had successfully killed all forty-nine puppets, he himself was utterly spent. He rapidly circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to recover his nearly depleted Demonic Qi.

ROAR!

Before Su Han could even catch his breath, the dense fog in the valley began to churn violently. A vengeful draconic roar echoed, sharp and piercing, like a demonic sound assailing the eardrums.

The next moment, under Su Han’s astonished gaze, the thick fog churned and transformed, finally taking the shape of a three-thousand-meter-long fog dragon.

It was indeed a dragon formed from the dense fog. Its scales, claws, and body were all eerily lifelike, as if a True Dragon had appeared. However, it was filled with a towering resentment, as if it intended to destroy the world.

The fog dragon loomed from above, gazing down at Su Han. Its massive eyes were filled with intense hatred.

”Human, I will kill you!”
