Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

At this moment, the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Demon Cult were following the orders of the Seven Injuries Demon Lord, standing perfectly still. This provided Su Han with an excellent opportunity.

KILL! KILL! KILL!

Not only would this relieve the pressure on his allies, but he could also settle his own scores. Su Han would never forget the hatred he bore the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord and the Toad Poison Venerable for trying to kill him.

SHLICK!

With a flash of his blade, another Heavenly Demon Cult disciple fell.

Posing as Ma Yuan, he drew no suspicion. These disciples were all at the Heavenly Human and Phenomenon Realms; there wasn’t a single one at the Physique Realm. For Su Han, killing them was as easy as cutting vegetables.

But his luck was bound to run out. After he had killed seventeen Heavenly Demon Cult disciples in a row, his actions were finally discovered.

”This is bad! Senior Brother Ma Yuan has gone berserk!”

”He’s gone mad! Ma Yuan must have gone mad! He’s slaughtering our own people! I just saw him kill Junior Brother Li Yue with my own eyes.”

”Damn it, what in the world is going on? Could Ma Yuan be the intruder?”

News spread like wildfire, throwing the scene into chaos.

At this point, Su Han dropped his charade. Still appearing as Ma Yuan, he gripped his Black Blade and charged into the crowd to continue the slaughter.

”Slash!”

He didn’t use the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. That was Lei Ming’s signature technique and would be recognized instantly.

But with his strength at the first layer of the Physique Realm, combined with the Black Blade and the Character Technique of Motion, he was like a wolf among sheep. No one could stop him.

”Ma Yuan has gone mad! Everyone, let’s join forces and capture him!”

At one man’s call, numerous disciples gathered, forming a vast encirclement with Su Han trapped in the center.

They could no longer afford to heed the Seven Injuries Demon Lord’s commands. If they stood still, Su Han would just slaughter them one by one. Faced with life and death, their only option was to fight for their survival.

The Heavenly Demon Cult had disciples as numerous as the Seven Stars Sect. Though Su Han had killed nearly all the True Disciples, there were still 7,000 to 8,000 members left. Gathered together, they formed a veritable sea of people.

However, Su Han showed not the slightest bit of fear. Using the Character Technique of Motion, he instantly transformed into a streak of light and charged into the crowd, heading straight for the strongest Phenomenon Realm disciples.

The Seven Injuries Demon Lord could emerge from the Spirit Vein at any moment. Su Han had to seize this opportunity to kill as many disciples as possible and cause maximum chaos.

”Rotting Poison Pearl!”

Su Han reached out, and a beam of poisonous light as thick as an arm shot out from the pearl. Having broken through to the Physique Realm, his control over the Rotting Poison Pearl had become even more effective.

”AAAAH!”

A shrill scream erupted from the crowd. A disciple at the sixth layer of the Phenomenon Realm was struck by the poisonous light. His skin instantly festered and turned black. He died on the spot, his body quickly dissolving into a terrifying puddle of pus.

”Don’t be afraid! He’s just one person! If we all attack together, we can definitely defeat him!” a female disciple at the seventh layer of the Phenomenon Realm shouted, rallying the others.

Instantly, all the disciples unleashed their Spiritual Energy. Weapons in hand, they deployed their Martial Techniques and charged at Su Han. While their individual power was not great, thousands attacking in unison created a surging, multi-colored tidal wave of energy that shook heaven and earth and made the Void itself tremble. It was a terrifying sight.

”Demonic Blood Taoist Calabash!”

Su Han reached out his hand, and the Demonic Blood Taoist Calabash appeared in his grasp. Instantly, a 300-meter-long river of blood surged forth. This river pulsed with evil and a deadly poison, mixed with the even more fearsome Hundred Poisons Liquid.

The river of blood rushed into the crowd like a gigantic blood-red blade, effortlessly carving a gory path through the masses. Although many Heavenly Demon Cult disciples practiced Poison Skills, this river was laced with the Hundred Poisons Liquid—a substance that even Heavenly King Realm experts couldn’t withstand, let alone ordinary disciples. A mere touch was fatal, and even a graze caused grievous injury.

In less than a minute, hundreds of the Heavenly Demon Cult’s disciples had fallen, either dead or wounded, while Su Han remained completely unharmed.

”Form the War Formation! Attackers to the front, defenders to the rear! Don’t let him escape!” the female disciple at the seventh layer of the Phenomenon Realm commanded again. Her leadership was impressive, and the other disciples readily obeyed. The crowd’s formation shifted as talismans were activated, creating a coordinated unit that advanced and retreated as one.

This female disciple seemed to understand military tactics and was actually causing Su Han some trouble.

To catch the thieves, first catch the king!

A glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes as he locked onto the female disciple.

”Origin Technique: Shape-Shifting Shadow!”

Su Han used the technique, instantly switching places with the person closest to her. This sudden move took everyone by surprise. The female disciple’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief.

”Kill!”

Wielding the Black Blade, Su Han struck down with full force. He didn’t use the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, but a simple Draw Sword Slash, amplified by the Character Technique of Combat, was more than enough to kill a disciple at the seventh layer of the Phenomenon Realm.

Despite her quick reaction and use of defensive means, the female disciple couldn’t block the Black Blade’s edge. In full view of everyone, she was cleaved in two. Her body fell to the ground as her blood flowed like a river.

Without their leader, the remaining disciples quickly lost their composure. Despite their vast numbers, they were now nothing more than lambs to the slaughter before Su Han.

The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign could never have imagined that by taking the cult’s experts with him, he had left it defenseless, ripe for a massacre at the hands of a single man.

”Bloodthirsty!”

”Soul Devouring!”

Su Han quickly activated the two innate abilities of his Black Blade. The blade craved blood and devoured the souls of its victims, growing more ferocious with every kill. Wrapped in wailing spirits and glowing with a sanguine light, it had completely transformed into a true Demonic Blade.

”Isn’t he only at the first layer of the Phenomenon Realm? How did he get so strong? This is impossible… absolutely impossible!”

”We’re no match for him! Run! We’ll be safe once the Seven Injuries Demon Lord gets here!”

”Our lives are all that matter! I still want to go pillaging in Qingzhou! I don’t want to die here!”

Su Han’s ruthless slaughter finally struck terror into their hearts. The thousands of Heavenly Demon Cult disciples broke ranks and fled like a defeated army. To Su Han, this was simply courting death. He showed no mercy, swiftly pursuing and cutting them down.

The ground was littered with corpses, their crimson blood staining the earth. Bodies were strewn everywhere amidst rivers of blood—a ghastly, unbearable sight.

The clang of steel, screams of agony, pleas for mercy, and cries of helplessness—all these sounds converged into a dirge of doom that inspired utter despair.

BOOM!

Just as Su Han was carrying out his slaughter, a rainbow of light shot up from beneath the ground, revealing the Seven Injuries Demon Lord. He had sensed the disturbance on the surface and had rushed out immediately.

A single glance was all it took. He was filled with such rage that it felt like his eyes would split, and his hatred surged like a boundless ocean.

”Ma Yuan, I will kill you!”
