Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 285 - 272: Unstoppable

"Hong Li!"

Seeing the fiery woman killed, the man with the hooked nose cried out in alarm. His eyes were dark, and his face grew even darker, as if it could drip water. First Luo Qian, now Hong Li. The task was still incomplete, yet they had already lost two people. This was an absolute catastrophe.

"Ying Liu, don't make a move for now," the hooked-nose man said solemnly, warning the shadowy assassin hidden in the Void. "He has a Secret Technique that can forcibly switch positions. The more you attack, the faster we die."

The deaths of Luo Qian and Hong Li were identical. Su Han had used his Shape-Shifting Shadow Origin Technique to swap places with them, turning them into scapegoats. Ying Liu's assassination techniques were terrifyingly effective. Despite their considerable strength, Luo Qian and Hong Li were caught off guard and unable to defend themselves, perishing instantly.

Ying Liu did not respond, but he had accepted the hooked-nose man's suggestion. Two failures had made him cautious, and he dared not act recklessly again.

"You're next!"

Pivoting, Su Han charged directly toward the man with the hooked nose. He had not been injured and was still in peak condition. Enhanced thirteenfold by the Character Technique of Motion and the Lightning Fast art, Su Han became a bolt of lightning, unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the man.

With Ying Liu now hesitant to act from the Void, Su Han's only direct opponents were the hooked-nose man and Grey Wolf. Grey Wolf was weaker, and Su Han had already broken his right claw, so he could be ignored for the time being. Besides, Su Han intended to force information about the Demon Slayer Sect out of him, so he was deliberately spared.

"I'm always the one who kills others; no one has ever dared to try and kill me. Su Han, you are indeed a prodigy, but you've chosen the wrong opponent!"

Instead of being alarmed, the hooked-nose man was delighted to see Su Han so close. His greatest fear was that Su Han would avoid a direct confrontation and escape with that terrifying speed, which would render his entire hunting plan useless. As for a head-on battle, he was not afraid at all. Even if Su Han was a prodigy, he was confident in his own power. After all, he was a Ninth Layer expert of the Physique Realm.

"Blood Punishment Blade Technique!"

The hooked-nose man was wreathed in a blood-red light, with tormented souls swirling around him, giving him an incredibly fierce and fearsome appearance. He possessed an Earth Rank Sword Technique, which he had already brought to the Great Accomplishment stage. A pungent, bloody stench filled the air, and streaks of blood-red light flowed around the hooked-nose man. A terrifying Dao Rhyme of blood erupted from the Beheading Blade, a chilling power that was difficult to resist.

CRACK!

Grasping the Beheading Blade, the man swiftly slashed at Su Han. Each stroke carried a thick stench of blood and endless killing intent, as if imbued with centuries of gore and restless spirits, capable of not only damaging the body but also assaulting the mind.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Su Han did not hesitate. Wielding the Black Blade, he swiftly executed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. Instantly, thunder roared and Thunder Light burst forth. It was not just the thunder of heaven and earth, but also Purple Lightning Yin Thunder. He unleashed both Yin Thunder and Yang Thunder simultaneously, displaying unparalleled power.

RUMBLE!

Both men were blade masters, and their full-force battle was a terrifying sight. Beams of blade energy crisscrossed the sky and tore gashes in the earth. The air was shredded, and space itself vibrated with intense ripples. Off to the side, Grey Wolf looked for an opening to strike but was forced back by the terrifying battle waves, unable to get close. The Blood Punishment Blade Technique was deadly with every strike, like an executioner on the scaffold, its edge sharp enough to decapitate in a single swing. The Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, on the other hand, was imbued with the might of thunder, carrying the judgment of divine punishment. Each hit was powerful enough to shatter mountains and split the earth, possessing astonishing destructive force.

The hooked-nose man fully unleashed his power as a Ninth Layer Physique Realm expert. His blood-colored blade beams were like the Nether River of the Underworld, harvesting all life in their path. But Su Han, bolstered by the Ghostly Face Mask and the Demonic Emperor Physique, was not inferior in terms of overall strength. His thunderous blade beams were like flashes of lightning—swift, ferocious, and annihilating everything.

CRACK!

The Beheading Blade suddenly broke through all of Su Han's defenses and struck him, leaving a bloody wound. However, Su Han's Black Blade also sliced across the hooked-nose man's neck, leaving a thin red line that nearly beheaded him.

"Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique: Wraiths Seeking Souls!"

With a roar, the hooked-nose man released countless wraiths from his body. As if seeing their archenemy, they shrieked with chilling wails and pounced toward Su Han.

"Invincible Tao Xin!"

"Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!"

Su Han activated his Invincible Tao Xin, suppressing the spirits with its peerless aura. At the same time, he let out a roar like a celestial dragon's cry, and the soundwaves blocked all the incoming wraiths.

"Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!"

Samadhi True Fire and Triple Chilling Nether Qi fused to form a six-petaled Ice-Fire Lotus. He instantly unleashed it upon the hooked-nose man, forcing him to use a Defensive Treasure to resist.

"Origin Technique: Fiery Flame Storm!"

"Origin Technique: Netherworld Cold Tide!"

Su Han employed two more powerful Origin Techniques. A flame storm swept through the world while a cold tide surged, freezing all in its path. The addition of these two Origin Techniques greatly enhanced the power of the Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens. It quickly shattered the hooked-nose man's Defensive Treasure, sending him flying into the Imperial Capital's city walls and smashing a human-shaped crater into the stone.

However, Su Han gave him no chance to breathe, instantly pursuing him at a speed faster than lightning.

"Not good!"

Grey Wolf's expression changed drastically. He gave chase with all his might, trying to stop Su Han, but he was far slower and could only watch helplessly as his target reached the city wall.

"With my blood, feed my soul! Blood Demon, into the Blade!"

Sensing an unprecedented mortal danger, the hooked-nose man dared not be careless or hold back. He gritted his teeth, and a blood-colored specter crawled from his mouth. It was crimson, hideous, like a small imp, and it quickly merged into the Beheading Blade. Instantly, the Beheading Blade erupted with a sanguine light. A bloody, slaughterous aura surged forth, staining the sky blood-red in a terrifying display.

"Slash!"

Like a man possessed, the hooked-nose man held the blade with both hands, fixed his eyes on Su Han, and brought it down in a ferocious slash. This strike was like an executioner's final blow, intended to execute the criminal on the spot.

"Origin Technique: Shape-Shifting Shadow!"

But Su Han feared group battles least of all. He activated the Origin Technique, switching places with Grey Wolf. Seeing the figure before him change from Su Han to Grey Wolf, the hooked-nose man's pupils shrank. He rapidly retracted his Spiritual Energy, desperate to prevent a repeat of the earlier tragedies. This sudden withdrawal of power backfired. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his aura weakened.

"Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!"

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han immediately used the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method to immobilize the hooked-nose man. Then, his Divine Sense Stellar began to revolve.

"Nine Heavens Divine Light!"

A golden Divine Light shot out from his Nine Heavens Eye, piercing the sky and accurately striking the man between the brows. In an instant, the hooked-nose man's body stiffened, and his eyes lost their focus.

With a single strike, his sea of consciousness was shattered, turning him into a walking corpse.
