Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: No one can save the person I want to kill

Su Han hadn’t intended to use the Ghostly Face Mask, but Qin Feng’s mid-battle breakthrough was an unexpected development. In that case, I’ll create an unexpected situation for you as well!

BOOM!

A powerful aura erupted from Su Han’s body like a volcano as his cultivation soared.

Divine Sea Realm, Fifth Layer!

Divine Sea Realm, Sixth Layer!

Divine Sea Realm, Seventh Layer!

By unlocking one of the Ghostly Face Mask’s seals, Su Han unleashed an incredibly vast torrent of Demonic Qi. It allowed him to break through three layers consecutively, granting him strength on par with Qin Feng’s own realm.

”Draw Sword Slash!”

The Black Blade, wreathed in Demonic Qi, seemed to fuse with Su Han, becoming a natural extension of his arm. As he drew the weapon, he unleashed a Heaven-Cleaving Earth-Sundering strike. A flash of light from the blade, brief yet brilliant like a meteor streaking across the night sky, precisely intercepted the Dragon Patterned Golden Scale Staff.

CLANG!

The sound of metal clashing was shrill and ear-piercing. It unleashed a powerful shockwave, causing the nearest onlookers, who were unable to withstand it, to bleed from their mouths and noses as if struck by a heavy blow.

Qin Feng was also struck hard. He felt an icy, overwhelming force sweep over him, causing the webbing between his thumb and forefinger to burst open and forcing him to lose his grip. The Dragon Patterned Golden Scale Staff flew from his grasp and clattered to the ground. Su Han’s Black Blade, however, did not stop. It continued toward Qin Feng, its edge cold, pitch-black, and lethal.

CRACK!

The Golden Yang Armor on Qin Feng’s body couldn’t withstand the attack and was shattered instantly. The blade then carved into Qin Feng’s flesh, sending him flying with a single strike.

Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Qin Feng was flung high into the air before crashing down heavily over a dozen meters away. A huge wound marred his torso, running from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, nearly splitting him in two. Black blood, imbued with a Demonic Nature that was chilling to the bone, poured from the wound. Qin Feng coughed up great gouts of blood; his injuries were severe, and he teetered on the brink of death.

If not for his Golden Spirit Body, which made his Physical Body as tough as iron, that single blow might have ended his miserable life. Though still alive, he had completely lost his Combat Power and was in no condition to withstand a second strike from Su Han.

After donning the Ghostly Face Mask, Su Han had become far too strong, far too terrifying. Possessing the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, he was practically invincible within his realm.

A deathly silence fell over the entire arena. No one had time to react. No one had expected the situation to take such a drastic, shocking turn. Just moments ago, Qin Feng had been overwhelmingly powerful after his breakthrough. He was at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Sea Realm and wielded the power of his Phenomenon, suppressing Su Han to the point where he had no chance to fight back and was nearly killed by a single staff strike. Everyone thought Su Han was doomed. Yet, in what should have been a situation of certain death, Su Han had turned the tables in the blink of an eye. He unleashed a single slash that not only severely injured Qin Feng but nearly killed him on the spot.

This... this was simply inconceivable! Everyone stood rooted to the spot, as if trapped in a nightmare, unable to believe their eyes.

Lu Yunxian, who had been charging forward, came to a sudden halt. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock; she too had never anticipated such an outcome. The members of the Qin Family were equally dumbstruck, unable to process what had just happened.

Atop the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, Elder Kui’s mouth fell open wide enough to fit an egg. The scene was truly beyond belief. One moment, Su Han had been in a life-or-death struggle; the next, he had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. If Elder Kui hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would have dismissed it as utter nonsense.

Tongyan was also shocked, but she recovered quickly, her gaze instantly falling on the Ghostly Face Mask. So, this is your trump card? The Fourth Elder of the Qin Family was a powerhouse at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Sea Realm and would not be easy to kill. However, her Qi Observation Technique had revealed that Su Han possessed a dark golden Destiny. Because of this, Tongyan had held high expectations for Su Han. His performance so far had been surprising, but it was still far from enough to kill the Fourth Elder. It was only with the appearance of the Ghostly Face Mask that her doubts were finally dispelled.

She didn’t know what the Ghostly Face Mask was, but like the Black Blade, it was clearly a Demonic Weapon. Demonic Weapons, unlike Spiritual Artifacts, could grant their wielder immense power, but always at a great cost. By donning the Ghostly Face Mask, Su Han had broken through three layers and gained tremendous strength. This was definitely no ordinary Demonic Weapon. Despite her vast experience, even Tongyan could not identify its origin. But the power of the Ghostly Face Mask was undeniable. Su Han had turned defeat into victory entirely thanks to it.

”Could he be cultivating a Demonic Technique?” Elder Kui asked in a deep voice, voicing his speculation. He reasoned that both the Black Blade and the Ghostly Face Mask were Demonic Weapons. While righteous Martial Artists could wield them, they could never draw out as much power as a demonic cultivator. Although he hadn’t detected the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art itself, the two items allowed him to make an educated guess.

”Whether he is demonic or righteous remains to be seen. Let’s just wait and see,” Tongyan replied calmly, her heart settling. The mention of ”Demonic Technique” didn’t faze her in the slightest. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion conducted business across the world, dealing not only with orthodox factions but also with demonic sects, so they treated both sides with impartiality.

A dark golden Destiny, mastery over the Black Blade, and now this Ghostly Face Mask... Tongyan’s interest in Su Han was growing by the second.

The crowd remained in shock, but Su Han had no intention of showing mercy. He had come here today with only one purpose: to slay Qin Feng.

SWOOSH!

Su Han executed the Character Technique of Motion. Now at the Seventh Layer of the Divine Sea Realm, his speed was tremendously amplified. He became a black bolt of lightning, streaking straight for Qin Feng.

”Kill!”

A cold voice escaped from Su Han’s lips as he appeared before Qin Feng in an instant. He raised the Black Blade high, and it descended like a Beheading Blade at an execution ground, carrying a fierce edge and the aura of death.

Qin Feng was heavily wounded and coughing up blood as Demonic Qi invaded his body. He was utterly incapable of blocking the slash. His injuries were so severe that he didn’t even have the chance to dodge, let alone flee for his life.

”Father, save me!” Seeing the Black Blade descending rapidly, terror seized Qin Feng, and he shrieked for help to his father at the edge of the arena. He didn’t want to die. He had his whole life ahead of him. He possessed the Golden Spirit Body, a one-in-a-million talent destined to become renowned throughout the world—how could he possibly die here?

”Su Han, if you kill my son, I will tear you limb from limb and make the Lu Family’s blood flow like a river!” a furious bellow erupted from Qin Xiong. He had sensed the killing intent the moment Su Han moved. The terrifying pressure of the Phenomenon Realm surged toward Su Han like a tidal wave. Leaving an afterimage in his place, Qin Xiong leaped through the air, rushing straight for Su Han. Qin Feng was his son and the future hope of the Qin Family. He would never allow him to die here.

Su Han heard Qin Xiong’s threat, but his eyes betrayed no hesitation. The Black Blade continued its descent, falling even faster and sharper than before.

SHICK!

With a single slash, Qin Feng’s screams were cut short. Before the eyes of the stunned crowd, the blade cleaved him in two, leaving not even a whole corpse behind. His severed face was frozen in a mask of resentment and terror, clearly not having expected that Su Han would actually dare to kill him.

Su Han stood still, holding his blade, his gaze cold and stern.

No one can save those I intend to kill!
