Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 860: Chapter 859: Vengeful Su Han

Of all the people present today, aside from the two battling factions, Yi Leng and Xu Huo understood the occurrences most clearly.

In fact, as observers, they might even grasp the situation better than Su Han and the others directly involved!

From the very beginning, when Su Han was hunted by Yuan Ling and five Dragon Emperor Realm experts, to being cornered by Du Yuehui and Moo Qinghai, then blocked by Liushui Qingya and Han Yunlai, and so on...

It was almost every time that Su Han faced life-threatening danger, seemingly on the brink of death, yet somehow, he survived in the end!

Yuan Ling and his group were held back by the Xuanyuan Clan’s five Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses.

Du Yuehui and Moo Qinghai were restrained by the Seven-Colored Famous Bird.

Liushui Qingya, Han Yunlai, and two Mad Immortals from the Sword Immortal Tomb were intercepted by Nangong Chenfeng from One Slash Palace.

The Seventh Holy Son of Giant’s Island was constrained by Jiling, the Earth Sacrifice of One Slash Palace.

The five Lower-Class Battle Immortals of the Sect of the Battle God were countered by two Earth Sacrifices from One Slash Palace, Mancheng and Ding Lin.

Now, with Lin Zheng and Lin Fan appearing, they too were held back — this time, by the Dragon Slayer of One Slash Palace!

Most critically, this could no longer be described as mere containment. While the two Dragon Emperor Realm experts were considered weak by realm standards, they were still Dragon Emperor Realm individuals—far beyond the peak of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm.

And yet now... one of them was dead.

Sometimes, Yi Leng and Xu Huo couldn’t help but wonder: Just how enormous was Su Han’s fortune? Was Heaven itself shielding him?

From the moment the name ”Su Baliu” spread, it was as if destiny had been turned upside down.

The Phoenix Sect, which doesn’t even boast a single Dragon Emperor Realm figure, had dared to provoke so many Super Sects without suffering any consequences.

Su Baliu, clearly just a Dragon God Realm practitioner, had offended countless Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouses—yet he was still alive and well today!

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t even dare imagine such audacity. Forget provoking multiple Dragon Emperor Realm figures and Super Sects—even offending just one would force them into hiding, never showing themselves again.

Today’s ”spectacle” had proven to Yi Leng, Xu Huo, and the others that their time spent watching wasn’t wasted.

They witnessed Su Han’s extraordinary fortune and, moreover, the sheer might of One Slash Palace!

Nangong Chenfeng stood alone against four enemies; Mancheng and Ding Lin together countered five; Jiling faced only one opponent, yet that opponent was Giant’s Island’s Seventh Holy Son, a renowned Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse!

All told, One Slash Palace mobilized three Earth Sacrifices and one Palace Master, successfully containing ten Dragon Emperor Realm experts from the Five Great Super Sects!

Especially now, with the arrival of the bald Dragon Slayer, Yi Leng and Xu Huo couldn’t help but reassess One Slash Palace’s true power levels.

Though Lin Fan was weak and not their match, he was still Dragon Emperor Realm.

But what does Dragon Emperor Realm represent?

To bind someone like Lin Fan silently and effortlessly—Yi Leng and Xu Huo knew they themselves could never pull off such a feat!

Thus, it became clear that this Dragon Slayer was, indeed, as formidable as the legends claim—far beyond their strength.

”It seems Su Baliu really profited from this; not only did he escape unharmed, but he also slew a sworn Dragon Emperor Realm enemy!” Yi Leng scoffed coldly.

”That may not necessarily be true.”

Xu Huo shook his head and said, ”Didn’t you hear the bald man talking earlier? His original intention was merely to trap Lin Fan and let Su Baliu escape. But Su Baliu went all out, killing Lin Fan outright. Regardless, Lin Fan was a Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse. Once news spreads, Su Baliu and the Five Great Super Sects will truly be locked in undying conflict.”

”There wasn’t much room to maneuver anyway. The Five Great Super Sects have already used such measures to hunt him down. If Su Baliu could still remain unconcerned, I’d seriously question his manhood.” Yi Leng said.

”It’s not what you think.” Xu Huo shook his head again but said no more.

In reality, everyone present grasped the significance of this battle.

The Five Great Super Sects’ sole target was Su Han—they aimed to kill only one person: Su Baliu.

Whether it be the Xuanyuan Clan, One Slash Palace, or the hidden powerhouses who hadn’t yet revealed themselves—figures like the Eastern Ancestor or the Northern Ancestor—everyone shared a singular goal: to ensure Su Han’s safe departure.

It was about escorting him, not a death-defying battle!

For these factions, preserving Su Han’s life was already their highest gesture of goodwill. Ultimately, none wished to antagonize the Five Great Super Sects irreparably.

Even One Slash Palace did not want to.

As long as they could successfully escort Su Han away today, evading the pursuit of the Five Great Super Sects, the matter would be considered resolved.

But things were now different—Su Han had killed Lin Fan... killed a Dragon Emperor Realm expert!

To break it down, could Nangong Chenfeng slay the Five Great Super Sects’ Dragon Emperor Realm experts?

Yes!

Could Mancheng and Ding Lin kill one or two Lower-Class Battle Immortals?

Yes!

In Jiling’s duel with Giant’s Island’s Seventh Holy Son, the latter was thoroughly suppressed. If Jiling wanted to strike lethally, could the Seventh Holy Son contend with him? Could Jiling end his life?

Yes!

The Xuanyuan Clan restrained Yuan Ling and his group continuously, maintaining the upper hand. If the clan wished, could they severely injure them, if not kill them?

Yes again!

Be it One Slash Palace or the Xuanyuan Clan, they could inflict heavy injuries or even fatal blows upon their enemies. Yet, why did they refrain?

All they did was block the Five Great Super Sects’ Dragon Emperor Realm pursuers, ensuring Su Han’s safe passage as their mission was fulfilled.

Striking and harboring killing intent are two completely different concepts.

Which is why the bald Dragon Slayer from One Slash Palace had spoken so plainly before.

”Senior, this life-saving grace—I will never forget it.”

Su Han stood tall in his flowing white robes, took a deep breath, and respectfully bowed to the bald man, saying, ”But your words go too far, Senior; I don’t think that way. If my actions bring trouble to One Slash Palace, I feel deeply remorseful and promise to make amends in the future. Yet, from my perspective, not just Lin Fan, but Lin Zheng, Yuan Ling, Du Yuehui, Moo Qinghai, Han Yunlai... all those who sought my death today—I want them all dead!”

At this, the bald man furrowed his brows, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.

Yi Leng and Xu Huo exchanged a look, drawing deep breaths—they had come to fully understand Su Han’s character.

He holds grudges without compromise!

”Leave at once.”

The bald man waved his hand, then fixed his gaze on Lin Zheng, who was rushing forward, and sharply shouted, ”Lin Zheng, come to your senses!”

His words, imbued with a dragon’s roar, rang in Lin Zheng’s ears, momentarily halting Lin Zheng’s frenzied expression.

”Lin Fan may have died, but it was his own doing. If you wish to live, you best rein yourself in!” the bald man growled coldly.

Evidently, he could kill Lin Zheng but chose not to.
