Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

With the Sword-toothed Shark’s sharp teeth, a bite to the head would almost certainly be fatal.

Was Su Han, who had slain both Lan Mu and Jing Chuan, about to see his glorious streak end?

The crowd was shocked. Zhang Xiaowan and Lan Xi’s hearts trembled, but Tongyan’s pupils shrank as if she had realized something.

The Sword-toothed Shark also frowned. Hm? Something feels amiss. He had indeed bitten Su Han, but there was no sensation of tearing into flesh and blood. Instead, there was no feeling at all, as if he had bitten into thin air. He looked down and saw Su Han’s body dissipate like smoke in the blink of an eye, completely disappearing.

No, that wasn’t Su Han’s Original Body! I remember that Su Han’s Divine Skills include a doppelganger technique. Could it be that I bit one of his Doppelgangers? That shouldn’t be right, though. His Doppelgangers and Original Body are identical, but the Original Body possesses the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda; it was impossible for me to have mistaken it. But now I have indeed bitten into just a Doppelganger. What in the world is going on?

The Sword-toothed Shark was perplexed. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back as a sense of crisis exploded in his heart. Without even turning around, he knew Su Han must be right behind him, surely brewing a devastating killing blow.

In that moment, his experience from countless life-and-death battles allowed the Sword-toothed Shark to make the correct instinctive reaction. He focused all his Demon Qi into his dorsal fin, using it as a weapon to strike out directly.

”Earth Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Wind-Cleaving Wave Slash!”

This was a special skill of the Shark Tribe. Their dorsal fin was like a blade, able to sever strong gales and cleave through endless waves.

SWISH!

His dorsal fin suddenly flared, glowing with a metallic luster and ringing like steel. A supremely sharp, cold gleam capable of shattering wind and waves burst forth as the dorsal fin slashed directly behind him.

At this moment, behind the Sword-toothed Shark, Su Han’s left hand was clenched in a fist and his right hand held a blade, both descending simultaneously.

Faced with the Sword-toothed Shark’s lethal attack just now, he had reacted decisively, using the Shape-Shifting Shadow technique to switch places with his Shore Flower Clone. That’s why the Sword-toothed Shark had bitten the clone instead of his Original Body. This move was a life-saving technique, but it came at the cost of his Shore Flower Clone, which could not be re-formed for a short time. Therefore, after using Shape-Shifting Shadow, Su Han seized the opportunity to strike with the speed of a thunderbolt. He shot straight for the Sword-toothed Shark, giving him no chance to use his Art of Teleportation.

CLANG!

The Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist descended, colliding with the Sword-toothed Shark’s dorsal fin. A piercing, ear-splitting sound of clashing metal resounded, like swords striking each other, sending sparks flying with a loud ringing.

Although the Sword-toothed Shark was strong, his physical body couldn’t compare to Su Han’s. Furthermore, he was forced to strike defensively, putting him at a disadvantage from the start. Now, as his dorsal fin clashed with the fist, it was ultimately overpowered and beaten to a bloody pulp, inflicting a grievous injury.

At that moment, Su Han seized the opportunity and quickly thrust the Black Blade into the wound on the dorsal fin.

”AHHH!”

The Black Blade’s penetration sent a wave of pain through the Sword-toothed Shark. He struggled frantically, flinging Su Han away before immediately using Teleportation to vanish from the spot and put distance between them.

But Su Han wasn’t anxious. His objective had been achieved.

His hands were now empty. The Black Blade remained embedded in the Sword-toothed Shark’s dorsal fin, not yet pulled out. This was his true intention. The Sword-toothed Shark was incredibly strong and a skilled combatant, so killing him would be no easy task. Therefore, Su Han’s plan this time was simply to plunge the Black Blade into his body. This would allow the Great Majestic Demon King to feast on his flesh and blood while eroding his strength with Demonic Qi, slowly draining him to death.

Soon, the Sword-toothed Shark’s figure reappeared a hundred meters away. He had lost his previous fierce and domineering presence. His dorsal fin was mangled and impaled with a black blade that now seemed to serve as a new dorsal fin.

What rich and delicious flesh and blood!

Within the Black Blade, the Great Majestic Demon King remained fully alert. Feeling the surging aura of the Sword-toothed Shark’s flesh, his eyes lit up like a glutton before a feast. This was a coordinated tactic between him and Su Han. Su Han would insert the Black Blade into the Sword-toothed Shark’s body, and the Demon King would use the opportunity to rapidly absorb its life-force energy while corrupting it with Demonic Qi.

Before long, the Sword-toothed Shark began to feel a wave of weakness. A scorching, fiery Demonic Qi invaded his body, devouring his Demon Qi.

With his strength, he could have forced the Black Blade out of his body under normal circumstances. But at this moment, Su Han was rapidly closing in for the kill.

”Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe!”

Su Han chose not to use any other methods, instead unleashing his strongest Primordial Qi. The Primordial Qi transformed into the Heaven-Opening God Ax. Its brilliance was dazzling, with chaos condensed into a single line. It resembled the Divine Axe wielded by the ancient gods, capable of splitting heaven and earth—invincible and unstoppable.

The Sword-toothed Shark had previously witnessed this Divine Axe grievously injure Jing Chuan and dared not be the slightest bit careless. His body surged with Demon Qi as a vision of blood-red seawater manifested around him.

”Low-Grade Forbidden Technique: Blood Shark Ancestral Return Technique!”

The Sword-toothed Shark and the Tiger Shark were both paragons of the Shark Tribe, so they had both mastered the same Forbidden Technique. The Sword-toothed Shark’s body erupted with a surge of crimson energy as he attempted to undergo Reversion while simultaneously trying to force out the Black Blade from his dorsal fin.

If the Sword-toothed Shark managed to fully execute this Forbidden Technique, all the advantages Su Han had created would be lost.

”Intermediate-Grade Divine Power: Life and Death Reversal!”

Just then, Tongyan finally arrived. She quickly unleashed her Divine Power Technique, and the wheel of life and death began to rotate counterclockwise. The Blood Shark Ancestral Return Technique required sacrificing half of one’s Demon Blood to achieve Reversion. However, Tongyan’s Life and Death Reversal perfectly interrupted this process by infusing the Sword-toothed Shark’s body with dense Death Qi.

At the same time, Su Han’s Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe finally descended, striking the Sword-toothed Shark directly. The Sword-toothed Shark took out a Defensive Treasure and exerted all his power to use a Defensive Martial Technique, attempting to block the axe. However, Primordial Qi was Su Han’s strongest Origin Technique, a fusion of all his energies. It shattered the Sword-toothed Shark’s many Defensive Means and struck his body with unstoppable force.

Despite his thick hide, the Sword-toothed Shark’s physical body was nowhere near as resilient as Jing Chuan’s. If even Jing Chuan couldn’t withstand it, the Sword-toothed Shark stood no chance.

The beast’s colossal body was cleaved open by the single strike. Blood sprayed everywhere as its life force swiftly drained away in a horrific scene. Through the combined efforts of Su Han and Tongyan, the Sword-toothed Shark finally fell. Its massive corpse plummeted from the sky, crashing to the ground in a shocking display.

WHOOSH!

However, just then, a streak of soul light shot out from the top of the Sword-toothed Shark’s head and fled into the distance. This was his soul; he evidently possessed a treasure similar to a soul jade. This turn of events was unexpected, and Su Han was too late to intervene.

Was the Sword-toothed Shark’s soul really going to escape?

”Low-Grade Forbidden Technique: Mighty Soul Annihilation!”

At that moment, Zhang Xiaowan, aboard the white jade vessel, made her move. Once again sacrificing a fragment of her soul, she transformed it into the Mighty Soul Annihilation, which accurately obliterated the Sword-toothed Shark’s fleeing soul.

With that, the Sword-toothed Shark was well and truly dead, his form and spirit completely annihilated.
