Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Kill One Person First

”What?”

Seeing the sudden surge in Su Han’s power, the Shark Commander was utterly shocked, his eyes wide with astonishment. He hadn’t expected Su Han’s strength to surge so rapidly, matching his own realm. Just like that, his advantage had completely vanished.

I don’t have to fight him to the death. I just need to stall for time until the others arrive.

The Shark Commander was very cautious, not trying to take all the credit for himself but rather valuing his own life. Among the bloodthirsty and murderous Shark Tribe, he was something of an anomaly.

Seeing Su Han charging at him, the Shark Commander’s tail fin flicked, and he quickly retreated, using the water currents to try and dodge. This was the deep sea abyss, water all around—the home turf of the East Sea Demon Clan. The Human Race faced environmental limitations here, and the Shark Commander intended to use this to his advantage, hoping to seize the initiative and avoid Su Han’s opening barrage.

As long as he could keep dodging, he could disrupt Su Han’s mentality. Then, he could subdue his enemy without a fight. Wouldn’t that be perfect?

The Shark Commander’s plan was a good one, but unfortunately for him, Su Han would not let him have his way.

”Character Technique of Motion!”

”Lightning Fast!”

Su Han burst forth at thirteen times his normal speed. Despite the water’s resistance, he was still incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance and appeared right in front of the Shark Commander.

The Shark Commander’s expression changed. Not good! He quickly used the Art of Teleportation, retreating seven hundred meters.

Although Su Han also used Teleportation to pursue him, his actual cultivation was only at the Heavenly King Realm Fourth Level. The Ghostly Face Mask amplified only his power, not his Spatial Force. As a result, Su Han’s slash missed, failing to strike the Shark Commander.

Seeing that Su Han’s Teleportation only covered a distance of four hundred meters, a pleased look appeared on the Shark Commander’s face. Just as I thought! I’ve figured it out.

”Divine Skills: Blossoming with One Thought!”

Su Han’s brow furrowed slightly. The seawater’s interference and the insufficient range of his Teleportation were indeed problems. To end the battle quickly, he immediately used Blossoming with One Thought. Instantly, a Shore Flower Clone appeared. It possessed the same power as Su Han’s original body, but without the Ghostly Face Mask’s boost, it was only at the Heavenly King Realm Fourth Level. Still, that was enough.

”Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, open the first and second palaces! Suppress him!”

Su Han had the Shore Flower Clone use the Secret of the Soldier Character to control the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, sending it pressing down toward the Shark Commander.

Seeing the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and feeling its intense Holy Might, the Shark Commander’s pupils shrank in alarm. The rumors are true! He really does have a Holy Artifact!

He had heard about Su Han’s exploits before and knew he possessed an extremely precious Holy Artifact. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, he knew this was bad. He had no Holy Artifact of his own and couldn’t withstand the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda’s suppression. Yet, he couldn’t retreat too far, lest Su Han take the opportunity to escape. Gritting his teeth, the Shark Commander reached out and took out his life-saving treasure.

The Shark Commander’s life-saving treasure was a Supreme Treasure. He quickly activated it, and a supreme aura manifested, barely resisting the suppression of the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda.

However, with his Heart Spirit completely drawn to the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, Su Han seized the opening.

”Cursing Killing Nether Technique!”

”Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!”

Su Han rapidly employed two Divine Methods. He unleashed the Cursing Power Technique and the Cursing Spirit Technique together, simultaneously weakening the Shark Commander’s power and Divine Sense. Following that, he cast the nine minor Divine Prohibitions from the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method. They all landed on the Shark Commander, firmly imprisoning him and rendering him immobile.

”Freeze Three Feet Deep!”

To prevent the Shark Commander from teleporting away, Su Han used the Divine Method he had just acquired. Instantly, a tidal wave of cold energy washed over the Shark Commander, forming a thick layer of frost over his body.

Having done all this, Su Han used Teleportation again, closing the distance to appear before the Shark Commander.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

With his left hand clenched into a fist and his right hand wielding the Black Blade, Su Han struck with his full power, determined to slay the Shark Commander. At that moment, the Shark Commander’s body was rigid and immobile, yet he could feel death’s approach.

The Shark Tribe grew stronger through life-or-death battles, and every member had survived countless such struggles. This Shark Commander had reached the mighty Heavenly King Realm through one relentless battle after another.

Just as Su Han’s attack was about to land, an overwhelming desire for survival erupted within him, unleashing an incredible surge of power.

”Low-Grade Forbidden Technique: Bloodshark Reversion!”

This Shark Commander was also a master of the Bloodshark Reversion Forbidden Technique. In an instant, his blood boiled, and his skin turned from its original dark gray to a startling blood-red. Not only his physical body, but his Divine Sense also became wildly agitated, and he broke free from his restraints.

”Teleportation!”

Instead of attacking Su Han, the Shark Commander swiftly used Teleportation to dodge the fatal blow.

As expected, none of the experts in the Demon Race are simple. This Shark Commander might not be a prodigy, but he is undoubtedly a formidable fighter. Killing him quickly won’t be easy.

Undeterred, Su Han reached out and summoned the Dragon Slaying Demon Banner. He quickly activated it, and the Evil Dragon Shadow emerged, incomparably ferocious and radiating a powerful Dragon’s Might as it charged straight at the Shark Commander.

A second Holy Artifact! Holy Artifacts are incredibly precious! Only prodigies on the level of an Imperial Son should possess one. Su Han not only has one, but two! How am I supposed to fight this? The Shark Commander’s eyes nearly popped out of his head, and he wanted to curse.

The Shark Commander felt no greed. He knew very well which was more important: his life or a Holy Artifact. If this weren’t a mission, he probably would have turned tail and fled long ago. Fighting a monster like this was pointless; it was a death sentence.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the Shark Commander sensed several powerful auras approaching. A look of joy crossed his face. He knew his reinforcements had arrived. To kill Su Han and preserve the honor of the East Sea Demon Clan, the various tribes had dispatched many experts. He was just one of them, and among the reinforcements, there were even powerhouses at the Supreme Realm. If he could just hold on a little longer until they arrived, Su Han would have no escape, even with exceptional abilities.

The Shark Commander sensed the approaching reinforcements, and so did Su Han, causing the murderous intent in his eyes to intensify. This has to be over, now. Otherwise, I’ll be at a huge disadvantage.

With that in mind, Su Han activated his Sacred Body and used Energy Physique.

”Black Hole Transformation!”

Su Han’s body, though maintaining its shape, became ethereal and transformed into a mysterious black hole. As soon as the black hole appeared, it began to devour the Shark Commander’s Demon Qi and Divine Sense. The Evil Dragon Shadow was now unstoppable, and it slammed viciously into the Shark Commander.

”Kill!”

Seizing the opportunity while the Shark Commander was wounded, Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion combined with Teleportation. He moved in close and activated the two Demonic Patterns on his Black Blade.

The Black Blade flashed like lightning, slicing through the dense seawater. Then, before the Shark Commander’s despairing eyes, it cleaved him in two.

The Shark Commander was dead
