Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 220 - 207: Fierce Battle with Tian Yunshan
Tianyunshan’s enraged roar shook the entire bedchamber.
His face was dark, his skin had blackened, and his Aura was weak and extremely unstable. He was clearly poisoned to the core. If he had not been a Heavenly King Realm expert, he would have already succumbed to the poison and died. Even so, between the corrosion of the Hundred Poisons Liquid and the backlash from his failed breakthrough, his strength had plummeted precipitously. At this point, he likely only possessed the power of the Physique Realm.
Tianyunshan’s roar failed to flush out Su Han. He reacted quickly, realizing he had to escape this place first and find help to deal with the fiend who had poisoned him.
WHOOSH!
Just as Tianyunshan rose to his feet, a beam of poisonous light, as thick as an infant’s arm and faster than lightning, shot through the air straight toward him.
"You’re courting death!"
Seeing the poisoner still dared to attack him, Tianyunshan was incandescent with rage. He reached out, intending to obliterate the poisonous light.
However, he was currently afflicted by a Deadly Poison and his strength was greatly diminished. The anticipated obliteration did not happen. Although the beam of poisonous light was weakened by half, the remaining half still struck him.
Instantly, a pitch-black, festering wound appeared on Tianyunshan’s shoulder. The poisonous light had nearly pierced straight through it.
"Teleportation!"
Tianyunshan’s expression changed. The space around him fluctuated as he tried to use Teleportation, a unique ability of Heavenly King Realm experts, to escape the bedchamber.
Heavenly King Realm experts had already touched upon Spatial Force, allowing them to traverse the Void. Short-range Teleportation granted them numerous possibilities for both offense and evasion.
With his strength, Tianyunshan could Teleport up to three hundred meters in a single jump. However, just as his figure vanished, countless Formation Patterns materialized. They connected heaven and earth, forming an invisible wall that forced him to reappear.
"Damn it! How can there be a Supreme Grade Formation here?!"
Gazing at the flickering Formation Patterns before him, Tianyunshan’s expression turned uglier than ever. His eyes clouded over with a mixture of shock and rage. He never could have imagined that someone would set up an array and poison him in his own bedchamber. Is the Wind Cloud Dragon Tiger Formation just for show? Have all the probing and alert arrays outside failed?
This person is an Array Master!
Tianyunshan was on high alert. Only a top-tier expert in the dao of formations could silently bypass the Wind Cloud Dragon Tiger Formation, break through numerous probing arrays to reach his bedchamber, and set up this Supreme Grade Formation.
While searching for an opportunity to break the formation and escape, he pondered his enemy’s identity. He certainly had many enemies, but none of them were Array Masters, let alone one of this caliber.
Unable to guess the enemy’s identity, he knew the immediate priority was to break the formation and escape. Tianyunshan reached out, and a silver-white longspear appeared in his hand. It was an Intermediate Grade Dao Artifact, its Dao Rhyme distinct and its fluctuations intense.
"Earth Rank Intermediate Martial Technique: Cloud Dragon Soaring Heaven Break!"
Tianyunshan gritted his teeth, suppressing the Deadly Poison in his body. He gathered his Spiritual Energy and poured it all into the Cloud Dragon Dao Spear. The spear’s shaft burst into brilliant light, and a dragon’s roar echoed from within.
SWISH!
With one thrust, a lifelike dragon shadow formed from condensed clouds appeared. It was as if a True Dragon had descended to soar through the Nine Heavens, carrying an aura of Great Annihilation as it charged toward the Formation Patterns.
A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Even though Tianyunshan was poisoned and greatly weakened, this spear thrust carried incomparable power. If it connected, the Formation Patterns would surely collapse, and he would truly escape. There were at least seven or eight Physique Realm experts in the royal palace. If they were drawn here, Su Han’s assassination plan would end in failure. Therefore, he had to block this spear thrust.
"Origin Technique: Primordial Qi!"
Without hesitation, Su Han unleashed his strongest trump card. A mass of Chaos Qi instantly coalesced, forming the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique, which shot out to meet the Cloud Dragon Dao Spear.
CLANG!
A deafening boom erupted within the bedchamber. A terrifying energy wave, like a world-ending tide, smashed all the tables, chairs, and benches to smithereens.
Tianyunshan’s expression changed, and he staggered back seven or eight steps before regaining his footing. At that moment, Su Han’s figure was revealed, appearing before Tianyunshan’s eyes.
"It’s you!"
Seeing Su Han, Tianyunshan’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. He never imagined that the one trying to poison and murder him would be Su Han. You’re merely in the Phenomenon Realm. What gives you the guts to try and assassinate me?
PFFT!
Tianyunshan suddenly stumbled and spewed another mouthful of pitch-black, poisonous blood. Having forced himself to execute that spear thrust, he now suffered an even more severe backlash, and his Aura grew weaker still.
"Tianyunshan, you’ve sent assassins after me time and time again. Today, I will send you to Hell!"
Su Han reached out, the Black Blade appearing in his hand, his killing intent ice-cold. Su Han never showed his enemies the slightest bit of mercy, because he knew that mercy toward an enemy was cruelty to oneself.
"Su Han, I truly underestimated you," Tianyunshan said. While suppressing the Deadly Poison in his body, he stared coldly at Su Han, his eyes burning with furious, boundless hatred. "I never expected you to have such audacity. But do you think poisoning me is enough to kill me? What a joke! Today, I will avenge Kong’er and wash away this hatred!"
SWISH!
He gripped the Cloud Dragon Dao Spear and thrust it forward. Space itself rippled, as if it were about to be pierced through by the spear.
"First Form: Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!"
Holding the Black Blade, Su Han advanced instead of retreating and executed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. Tianyunshan was suffering from the Deadly Poison and his strength had plummeted. This was the perfect opportunity to kill him. If I miss this chance, who knows when I’ll get another. I must kill him today! I must win!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Blade and spear collided, sending sparks flying as the shrill clang of metal on metal echoed throughout the room. Su Han had already donned the Ghostly Face Mask, amplifying his strength to the Eighth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm.
Tianyunshan’s strength had fallen to the Physique Realm, while Su Han’s was boosted by the Ghostly Face Mask. With one’s power decreasing and the other’s increasing, the gap between them had narrowed significantly. Now, Su Han could face him head-on without fear.
"Dragon Phoenix Protection!"
"Adorned with Stars and Moon!"
"Star Shifting Technique!"
"Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!"
Tianyunshan was a Heavenly King Realm expert, after all. Even though he was afflicted by a Deadly Poison, Su Han did not dare to be the least bit careless. A lion must use its full strength even to hunt a rabbit, let alone in this case, where the rabbit was hunting the lion. Naturally, Su Han had to give it his all.
He instantly deployed four Origin Techniques at once, drastically increasing his defensive power. Tianyunshan’s attacks were largely blocked, unable to harm Su Han in the slightest. At the same time, Su Han, holding the Black Blade, activated the Poison Eroding Formation to continue assailing Tianyunshan with the Hundred Poisons Liquid, worsening his poisoned state.
"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"
He clenched his left fist. Golden Qi-Blood surged as his eighty Great Luo Golden Bones shone brightly. Combined with one hundred million jin of Physical Strength and the enhancement from the Character Secret, this punch was more powerful than ever before.
BANG!
Tianyunshan was sent flying by the punch, crashing into a wall. He was severely wounded.
In this moment, as Su Han fiercely fought Tianyunshan, he was unstoppable
