Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 351 - 338: Hope and Despair

"There's no need to apologize. You've already done very well!" Su Han comforted her softly, a heartwarming smile on his face.

Although Zhang Xiaowan had failed to hold Di Yuan off for ten minutes so he could kill him, Su Han had seen her put her own life on the line. He would never forget this debt of loyalty.

"Rest and heal. Leave the rest to me!"

Su Han carried Zhang Xiaowan to the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, the safest place there was. After setting her down, he turned around. The smile was gone, replaced by a solemn expression and icy eyes. An overwhelming killing intent seemed to overflow from him.

At that moment, however, he was at a disadvantage. Di Yuan was not dead, and Qing Wu was now left unchallenged.

"Little mouse, I told you earlier that thinking she could delay me for ten minutes was wishful thinking. But in consideration of your touching loyalty, I'll bury your bodies together after I kill you so you can be reunited in the afterlife!" Qing Wu stood outside the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, holding a plantain Daoist fan and looking down on Su Han. Her beautiful eyes were filled with intense Evil Qi. Although her previous attack hadn't killed Zhang Xiaowan, she didn't care. They were like fish in a barrel, destined to die sooner or later.

"Qing Wu, hurry up and break the formation! I want to kill him with my own hands!" Di Yuan urged impatiently. He had fought a great battle with Su Han only to end up at a disadvantage. Now, he was covered in wounds, his aura was weak, and his appearance was miserable. If Su Han were given another minute, it could spell disaster for him. The feeling of defeat was infuriating, and he desperately wanted to torture and kill Su Han to vent his frustration and take his revenge.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he suffers a fate worse than death!" Qing Wu sneered. With a flick of her plantain Daoist fan, she struck the Formation Patterns, causing them to ripple and further weaken the power of the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation.

"Phenomenon: Dual Black Holes!"

Su Han saw Qing Wu's actions and knew the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation would be broken in less than a minute. He had no other options and no way out. His only choice was to kill!

HUM!

Having performed a Physique Fusion to unleash the Phenomenon, two black holes suddenly appeared. Like gaping maws, they began to suck in and devour the million fierce ghosts. Because Di Yuan was severely injured, the power of his ghost-marshaling Divine Power Technique had significantly decreased. Furthermore, Su Han's Doppelganger had already inflicted massive casualties with its continuous attacks. Now, under the assault of the Dual Black Holes, the ghosts were being devoured even more relentlessly.

"This is bad!" Di Yuan's expression changed drastically as he tried to recall the ghosts, but Su Han gave him no such chance. The devouring power of the Dual Black Holes was so strong that it consumed all one million fierce ghosts completely.

PFFT!

With his Divine Skill broken, Di Yuan suffered a backlash. He spewed out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his aura weakening even further.

Di Yuan, a master of the Heavenly King Realm's Third Layer, was now slumped on the ground like a dead dog. News of this would have caused a sensation if it got out. But this wasn't what Su Han wanted. He wanted Di Yuan's life!

The Character Technique of Motion activated, bolstered by a Lightning Fast boost. With a thirteen-fold increase in speed, Su Han became a streak of light, faster than lightning itself, as he charged directly toward Di Yuan. He no longer cared about the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation. Even if Qing Wu broke through, he was determined to kill Di Yuan first. As long as Di Yuan lived, this was a dead end.

"Slaughter Eight Styles: Desperate Struggle for Survival!"

Di Yuan gritted his teeth and activated the Slaughter Eight Styles once again. This style wasn't a healing Martial Technique, but it could restore his Spiritual Essence to its peak, as if he had been injected with a stimulant. Although it wasn't a Forbidden Technique, it functioned like one. Once the effect wore off, Di Yuan would suffer pain and damage that would be incredibly difficult to recover from. But that was a problem for later.

At that moment, his spirit was revitalized to its peak, his will to fight intensified, and his murderous intent soared.

"You can't kill me!" Di Yuan grinned viciously, his expression ferociously savage. Wielding the Tiger Bone Halberd, he went on the offensive instead of retreating, charging aggressively toward Su Han. He yearned for battle and reveled in slaughter, completely immersed in this state.

"Kill!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The single word leapt from Su Han's clenched teeth. At that moment, his mind was free of all distractions. There was only the kill.

BOOM!

Su Han engaged Di Yuan in fierce combat while Qing Wu continued her assault on the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation. The Formation Patterns surged, and a crack appeared, leaving the entire array on the verge of crumbling.

"Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!"

"Origin Technique: Fiery Flame Storm!"

"Origin Technique: Netherworld Cold Tide!"

Su Han's Doppelganger had also broken free, and it swiftly cast its Origin Techniques and Divine Methods. Instantly, Samadhi True Fire and Triple Chilling Nether Qi appeared, blanketing the area and transforming it into a raging tide of ice and fire. Exploding Ice-Fire Lotuses surrounded Di Yuan with terrifying, destructive energy.

One Su Han was already enough to overwhelm Di Yuan; two were driving him to his doom. Di Yuan desperately brandished the Tiger Bone Halberd, his Evil Qi soaring as he defended against the combined assault from Su Han and his Doppelganger. But he was on the brink of collapse, barely able to hold on.

"Qing Wu, hurry up!" Di Yuan had no choice but to urge her on, otherwise he was in real danger of being killed.

Qing Wu remained silent, putting her all into her attacks. The crack in the Formation Pattern widened faster and faster; victory was close at hand.

"Nine Heavens Divine Light!"

At that moment, Su Han's eyes flashed. A beam of pale golden Divine Light shot out from his Nine Heavens Eye, piercing directly into Di Yuan's forehead. Di Yuan's sea of consciousness had already been pierced by Zhang Xiaowan's Forbidden Technique, so the Nine Heavens Divine Light plunged into it unimpeded, shattering it to pieces.

"Ah!"

A scream tore from Di Yuan's mouth as he was blasted backward. Blood streamed from his seven orifices and his face twisted in agony, making him look like a Fierce Ghost. With his sea of consciousness shattered, his head throbbed with excruciating pain. His spirit was in turmoil, and he was at his weakest moment.

Just then, a crisp crackling sound echoed. Qing Wu's relentless attacks had finally shattered the Formation Pattern. The suppressive force of the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation diminished instantly, and Di Yuan's strength began to recover rapidly.

"Origin Technique: Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!"

"Origin Technique: Heavier Than Tai Mount!"

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han's Doppelganger swiftly cast its Origin Techniques, creating a hundred-meter-wide gravitational field that enveloped Di Yuan.

"Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!"

Su Han's Original Body executed the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method. Instantly, five small Divine Prohibitions landed on Di Yuan, binding his entire body and rendering him immobile.

BOOM!

The Nine Palaces Bagua Formation shattered completely. Its suppressive force vanished in an instant, and Di Yuan's eyes lit up with wild joy. His aura soared, and in the blink of an eye, he was on the verge of recovering his full strength at the Third Layer of the Heavenly King Realm. Once he recovered, killing Su Han would be as easy as flipping a hand.

However, Su Han had already closed in on him, his gaze frigid and his killing intent absolute.

"Heaven and Earth Slash!"

He channeled all of his energy into the Black Blade, preparing a strike that seemed powerful enough to split heaven and earth. This was Su Han's strongest slash, and for Di Yuan, it was a slash of utter despair.

"No!"

Di Yuan cried out in horror. He struggled to escape, but he was immobilized by the gravitational field and the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method. He could only watch helplessly as the Black Blade descended.

SPURT!

With a single motion, the blade rose and fell. A head was severed from its body. Di Yuan was dead.
