Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 69: I’ll Kill as Many as They Come
Su Han and the Empress were originally a kilometer apart, but he had already traversed half that distance.
To slay the Empress and exact my revenge... It’s within my grasp!
Golden Qi-Blood surged within Su Han’s body like an eternal furnace, providing him with an endless supply of power. Wherever the Black Blade went, corpses piled high and blood formed rivers. No one could stand in its way.
"Kill!"
Finally, seeing the dire situation, the Guard Army Commander stopped arranging his troops in formation. He took to the field himself, charging toward Su Han. The death of the imperial uncle had placed a heavy responsibility on him. He had to seize this opportunity to atone for his failure and earn merit. Otherwise, prison would be his ultimate fate.
The Commander was an extremely strong warrior at the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm. Gripping a bronze-colored War Lance, he drew upon the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth and rapidly advanced on Su Han.
"Mysterious Rank Mid-Level Martial Technique: Break a Thousand Armies!"
With a long howl, the Commander thrust his spear. The fierce lance radiance shot toward Su Han like an arrow loosed from its string, tearing through the curtain of rain. At the same time, he drew in the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth and wove it around the lance radiance, eventually forming a Spiritual Qi Great Spear as thick as a water bucket and a hundred meters long.
The slaughtering aura of a battlefield erupted from within the Spiritual Qi Great Spear, shattering the rainfall and shaking the Void. That single thrust was powerful enough to pierce a mountain a thousand zhang tall!
"Draw Sword Slash!"
Su Han was not careless. He infused Demonic Qi into the Black Blade and immediately unleashed a slash. He empowered this attack with the Combat Character Secret, increasing its might threefold. The pitch-black blade radiance, like a bolt of lightning, collided with the Spiritual Qi Great Spear in mid-air.
BOOM!
An earth-shattering blast erupted. The shockwave rolled out like a tide, toppling the surrounding soldiers. The rainwater within a hundred-meter radius was instantly vaporized, creating a temporary dry zone.
However, the Commander was not pleased. Instead, his pupils contracted as his heart pounded with shock.
How could this be possible?
Su Han’s pitch-black blade radiance had actually split his Spiritual Qi Great Spear apart, cleaving it down the middle as easily as cutting tofu.
Although the Commander’s Realm was higher than Su Han’s, the quality of his Spiritual Energy was far inferior. The power of the hundred-meter-long Spiritual Qi Great Spear was too dispersed, making it all for show.
Having obtained the memory inheritances from the Divine General and the white-haired man, Su Han had acquired not only the Great Luo Golden Body and the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method but also their rich combat experience. He spotted the weakness the moment the Commander made his move. His slash struck that very vulnerability, naturally securing a complete victory.
CLANG!
The pitch-black blade radiance continued onward, its momentum unchecked. The Commander was forced to swing his War Lance to block it.
"Turn Stone to Gold!"
Su Han executed the Origin Technique. Instantly, droplets of rain were dyed gold, becoming like liquid metal. They seemed soft but were exceptionally sharp.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Su Han called upon the Power of Heaven and Earth, transmuting all the rainwater within a four-hundred-meter radius. With a push of his hands, the rain transformed into a torrent of steel that rushed forward. After breaking through to the Second Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, the range in which he could draw upon Spiritual Energy had increased to four hundred meters, equivalent to that of an ordinary Martial Artist at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
BOOM!
The steel torrent was unstoppable. Although the Guard Army soldiers tried their best to defend themselves, they were still grievously injured, spitting blood as they were sent flying into disarray. While not dead, their injuries were severe, leaving them on the ground and unable to fight.
Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion to move swiftly through the crowd, shortening the distance to the Empress from five hundred meters to just two hundred meters.
"Mysterious Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Golden Spears and Iron Steeds!"
At that moment, the Commander attacked again. He would not allow Su Han to harm the Empress in the slightest. His aura surged dramatically, his eyes glinting like lightning. A boundless spiritual power erupted from him, merging with the combined momentum of the entire Guard Army. An aura of iron blood, slaughter, and battle—this was the essence of the Guard Army.
He drew the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth, fusing it with this aura to form a vast army of golden spears and iron steeds. Although they were formed from condensed Spiritual Energy, they were incredibly lifelike, their martial intent soaring to the heavens.
BOOM!
The immense pressure surged toward Su Han like a tidal wave, like a thousand-strong army thundering down. It was enough to instill despair and offer no escape. Even Su Han’s expression turned grave.
But he was not afraid. He too had fought on battlefields and possessed an invincible fighting spirit and an unshakeable will to kill.
With his left fist clenched, golden Qi-Blood surged. The four Great Luo Golden Bones within him emitted a divine golden radiance. Empowered by the Combat Character Secret, Su Han’s clenched left fist shone like a miniature golden sun. An aura of ultimate hardness and pure Yang erupted from his fist. Facing the Commander’s strongest strike, Su Han threw a direct punch.
BOOM!
The Golden Fist Radiance collided with the golden spears and iron steeds like a comet striking the Earth, instantly unleashing a terrifying battle wave. The deafening blast rumbled, causing blood to stream from everyone’s ears as their heads throbbed with splitting pain. The violent shockwave swept out like a typhoon, flinging hundreds of nearby soldiers into the air. They spat blood in mid-flight, and some died on the spot.
This strike was terrifying, far beyond what ordinary soldiers could withstand. In an instant, the area between Su Han and the Commander was cleared, leaving only empty space. The curtain of rain was torn apart and vaporized, leaving only the erupting Golden Fist Radiance. It was as if the storm had passed and sunlight was breaking through.
The Guard Army Commander’s strength was undeniable. At the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm and possessing an unparalleled battle spirit, he had even used a Mysterious Rank High-Level Martial Technique that borrowed the Guard Army’s momentum for the attack.
But he was still defeated. Looking as if he’d suffered a devastating blow, his face turned deathly pale as he vomited blood. He plummeted from the sky, smashing a human-shaped crater into the ground.
Meanwhile, Su Han was completely unscathed. He had activated the Dragon Phoenix Protection, easily blocking the violent shockwave from the attack.
"Dragon-Phoenix Phantom!"
Not far away, the Empress’s pupils shrank as she saw the True Dragon Phantom and the True Phoenix Phantom. Her heart filled with immense shock.
I plotted against Su Han for his Dragon Soul, and my son even successfully acquired the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body, awakening the Phenomenon of the Dragon Phoenix Harmony. I am very familiar with the True Dragon Phantom and the True Phoenix Phantom, but how could they appear on Su Han? Did he obtain the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body? But I’ve never heard of a Dragon Phoenix Saint Body being taken away after it had already formed. Besides, this Dragon Phoenix Protection isn’t the same as the Dragon Phoenix Harmony Phenomenon. What on earth is going on? The Great Crown Prince is now only a soul. Even if his physical body could be reconstructed, he would never regain the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body. If I could uncover Su Han’s secret, perhaps the Great Crown Prince could obtain the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body again. Then, our hope of ruling the world would be restored.
At this thought, the Empress’s heart burned with fervor. She wished she could capture Su Han immediately and force his secrets from him.
But Su Han did not stop. Maintaining the Dragon Phoenix Protection and employing the Character Technique of Motion, he gripped his Black Blade and charged directly toward the Guard Army Commander. He had decided to eliminate this stumbling block first.
"Shadow Guards, move out! I want him alive!" the Empress quickly ordered.
Immediately, the ten Shadow Guards protecting her charged out, heading straight for Su Han.
"However many come is how many I’ll kill!"
Watching the ten Shadow Guards rapidly closing in, Su Han felt no fear. Instead, his killing intent only grew stronger.
