Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: When Man Harms Tiger’s Intent, Tiger Harbors Killing Thoughts

Qin Feng gave a sinister smile, then left the Myriad Treasures Pavilion carrying the body of his servant.

The real show is still to come.

The Empress had instructed him to target Su Han and take this opportunity to kill the troublemaker. He certainly wouldn’t hold back.

Su Han was well aware of this, but he felt no fear. On the contrary, his own killing intent was bone-chilling. The Empress has the heart of a venomous snake. As long as I’m alive, she will never give up. However, this is also an opportunity for me. Qin Feng wants my life, and I’m just as eager for his Golden Spirit Body. So far, my Devouring Heaven Demonic Art has yet to devour a Special Physique. Although the Golden Spirit Body ranks last on the list of special physiques, it is a Special Physique nonetheless. Once I successfully devour it, my Physical Body and potential will improve immensely. If I can devour Qin Feng before the Autumn Imperial Examination, my odds of defeating the Great Crown Prince will be even higher. A man may intend to harm a tiger, but the tiger also intends to kill the man. It’s simply a matter of who is more cunning!

Composing himself, Su Han turned to Tongyan. ”Thank you, Miss Tongyan.” Without her, he definitely wouldn’t have obtained the Spirit-Nourishing Flower so easily, and it was extremely important to him.

”Fairness and impartiality are guiding principles of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.” Tongyan offered a faint smile, as beautiful as a blossoming flower bud and captivating enough to make one’s heart flutter.

”I don’t suppose you have any other treasures similar to the Spirit-Nourishing Flower? A relative of mine is critically ill and urgently needs their vitality restored.”

Su Han had 30,000 Spirit Stones on him, not to mention the other treasures he had yet to sell. He had spent 20,000 Spirit Stones on the Spirit-Nourishing Flower and still had a considerable amount left, so he was hoping to buy more.

”Treasures that contain life force are rare to begin with,” Tongyan said, shaking her head. ”The Spirit-Nourishing Flower was only available because it was part of a new shipment. Otherwise, it would have been sold long ago.”

Su Han felt a pang of regret. Still, with the Spirit-Nourishing Flower, it should at least help them hold on for a while.

”I have some treasures I would like to sell,” Su Han said. ”Then, I want to buy a blade!”

Su Han excelled at Sword Technique but lacked a good blade. The one he had before had been reclaimed by the Empress. Now, all he had was the Fire-Patterned Blade. However, it was only an Intermediate-Grade Spiritual Artifact, and its violent flames were not well-suited for his Demonic Qi.

The Great Crown Prince had the Empress’s support. In addition to his own exceptional talent and power, his equipment was undoubtedly top-notch as well. If Su Han wanted to slay him during the Autumn Imperial Examination, he would need a better blade.

”You may leave. I will personally attend to the Ninth Prince.” Tongyan signaled for the steward to depart, then took the Storage Ring from Su Han’s hand.

”I can give you a price of 50,000 Spirit Stones for these items.” Tongyan quickly appraised the treasures and offered a reasonable price.

”Done.” Su Han nodded, accepting the price.

Afterward, Tongyan led Su Han to the fifth floor, which was dedicated to selling weapons. An array of blades, spears, clubs, and staffs was available, including many types of blades, such as daggers, sabers, two-handed sabers, and horse-chopping blades.

Su Han was looking for a specific type of saber: one with a thick spine, a sharp edge, and a flat tip. A blade like that could maximize his power, unleashing strikes as fierce as a tiger and with enough force to shatter boulders. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion had many such sabers, ranging from Low-Grade Spiritual Artifacts to even higher-level Magic Artifacts.

However, Magic Artifacts were far too expensive for him to afford. As for the Spiritual Artifacts, he looked for a long time but couldn’t find one that was suitable.

Just as he was about to settle on a passable saber from the collection, Tongyan suddenly spoke up. ”On second thought, I remember we have a special Demonic Blade in our vault. Perhaps you could give it a try.”

A Demonic Blade? Su Han’s eyes lit up.
