Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

An intense sense of crisis sent a chill down Su Han’s spine. His hands and feet turned icy cold, as if his entire being had been plunged into a frigid cellar.

This was the death threat from the Hundred Poisons Saint. Yet, Su Han’s gaze remained exceptionally calm, completely unaffected by the danger. He already possessed the Defying Heavenly Demon Will and the Invincible Tao Xin. Furthermore, his recent training under the Questioning Heart Sword Saint’s Heart Sword Technique had given him greater mastery over his emotions. Even with his sense of crisis at its peak, he maintained perfect control.

”Unparalleled Sword Radiance!”

Su Han’s voice was steady, without a hint of tremor. As he gave the command, 10,000 soldiers of the Forbidden Troops acted in unison, their power condensing into a gigantic, five-thousand-meter sword radiance.

No matter how strong Su Han was, he was only at the Ninth Layer of the Supreme Realm. The Hundred Poisons Saint, however, was a powerhouse at the Ninth Layer of the Saint Realm. There was an entire Great Realm separating them; Su Han could only rely on the power of the Unparalleled Sword Formation to stand a chance.

BOOM!

The Hundred Poisons Saint extended his poisonous claws and tore fiercely at the air, ripping space itself apart. Intertwining streams of venomous light struck the gigantic sword radiance, once again shattering it and corroding it with poison.

”Incapable of withstanding a single blow!”

Having manifested his Poison King Body, the Hundred Poisons Saint’s cultivation realm had not increased. However, his physical body was much stronger, and his combat power had skyrocketed by several degrees.

”Strike again!”

Su Han’s face paled under the immense pressure, but his eyes remained bright and calm. He gathered the Unparalleled Sword Radiance once more, but the Hundred Poisons Saint’s strength was simply too formidable. He shattered it with ease, rapidly closing the distance between them.

”My Poison King Body was forged from ten thousand toxins. It can slay Saints and annihilate entire nations. Even a Great Emperor Realm expert would be poisoned if they tried to kill me!” the Hundred Poisons Saint sneered with contempt. At this moment, I am the strongest on the battlefield. Who can possibly stop me?

SWISH!

A beam of Holy Light howled through the air, streaking toward the Hundred Poisons Saint. It was the Questioning Heart Sword Saint. He could not stand by and watch Su Han be killed. Even against the dreaded Poison King Body, he had to intervene.

”Heartless, Swordless!”

The Questioning Heart Sword Saint once again deployed his Heart Sword Technique. The formless blade slashed toward the Hundred Poisons Saint’s Heart Spirit, aiming to shatter his Dao Heart again.

”Questioning Heart Sword Saint, are you seeking death?”

The Heart Sword Technique was bizarrely unpredictable and nearly impossible to defend against. While the Hundred Poisons Saint’s Poison King Body was intensely toxic, it offered no protection from such an attack. However, with that same body, he could pose a fatal threat to the Questioning Heart Sword Saint’s physical form.

”Myriad Poison Black Light!”

The Hundred Poisons Saint opened his mouth and spewed forth an intensely concentrated beam of black, toxic light. It pierced straight through space, warped time, and shot toward the Questioning Heart Sword Saint with an unimaginably deadly poison.

Although the Questioning Heart Sword Saint’s Heart Sword Technique was powerful, his physical body was only average. If this attack landed, he would be gravely injured, if not killed outright.

”Seven Emotions and Six Desires!”

The Questioning Heart Sword Saint’s expression changed. Not daring to be careless, he immediately activated the Seven Emotions Holy Robe he wore. However, the toxicity of the Myriad Poison Black Light was too potent. The light of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires could not hold it back; it was corroded inch by inch until it dimmed and collapsed.

SPURT!

The Myriad Poison Black Light slammed into the Seven Emotions Holy Robe. Though it failed to penetrate the robe, the force sent the Questioning Heart Sword Saint flying, his face turning dark as the deadly poison invaded his body.

”Protect His Highness!”

Wei Wenzheng’s face fell. He frantically attacked, trying to force back the Soul Hooking Saint before him so he could rush to Su Han’s aid. However, the Soul Hooking Saint unleashed his full Holy Might, using every trick he had to pin Wei Wenzheng down.

The two pairs were locked in a stalemate, their exchanges unable to alter the wider battle. The ones who would truly decide the outcome were Su Han and the Hundred Poisons Saint.

”KILL!”

A battle cry shook the heavens and the earth, filled with astonishing killing intent.

The thousand soldiers of the Black Armored Army, arrayed in the Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation, charged forward. They moved like a true nether dragon, lunging at the Hundred Poisons Saint with a dense aura of Death Qi.

”Overestimating yourselves!” the Hundred Poisons Saint snorted, thrusting out a poisonous claw toward the Black Armored Army.

A torrential cloud of poisonous gas burst forth. Under the Hundred Poisons Saint’s control, it transformed into a toxic claw a kilometer in size. This massive claw blotted out the sun like a great mountain, carrying a terrifying power that could corrode anything as it brutally struck the Black Armored Army.

BOOM!

A violent explosion of energy erupted. The nether dragon collapsed, and the poisonous claw dissolved into a vast ocean of toxin, completely engulfing the thousand soldiers of the Black Armored Army. They were all Dead Soldiers, fearless in the face of their end, and they continued to struggle, trying to reach the Hundred Poisons Saint. But the poison was too intense. Their black armor corroded, their bodies turned pitch-black, and their skin festered, rapidly melting them into pools of toxic sludge. In the blink of an eye, all one thousand soldiers of the Black Armored Army were dead, poisoned into nothing but puddles of pus and heaps of tattered armor.

The Hundred Poisons Saint, in his Poison King Body, was simply too powerful. Forging a path with poison, he had repelled the Questioning Heart Sword Saint and annihilated the Black Armored Army in moments. He seemed utterly unstoppable.

”Unparalleled Sword Sea!”

With Su Han directing, the Forbidden Troops formed up, unleashing tens of thousands of sword lights that merged into a veritable sea of blades, rushing toward the Hundred Poisons Saint.

However, it was all in vain. The Hundred Poisons Saint still held his poison-patterned earthenware pot. Activating it, he summoned a surging ocean of poisonous gas that crashed against the Unparalleled Sword Sea. The two forces collided with a deafening roar and annihilated one another. In that instant, the Hundred Poisons Saint had already arrived before the Unparalleled Sword Formation.

”Myriad Poison Black Light!”

The Hundred Poisons Saint opened his mouth and spat. The black, toxic light erupted again, like a river from the galaxy or a bolt of silk, and slammed viciously into the Unparalleled Sword Formation.

BOOM!

As strong as the Unparalleled Sword Formation was, it could not withstand a full-power strike from the Hundred Poisons Saint. It began to wobble precariously, its sword light dimming, on the verge of total collapse.

”Sword of Heart!”

At the same time, the Questioning Heart Sword Saint suppressed the poison invading his body and once more unleashed his most powerful attack. This was the same sword that had previously shattered the Hundred Poisons Saint’s Heart Spirit and wounded his Dao Heart, a technique of formidable power.

”Time Poison!”

Driven to fury, the Hundred Poisons Saint unleashed all the power of time he commanded, lacing it with a special, deadly poison, and struck viciously at the Questioning Heart Sword Saint.

He couldn’t withstand the Sword of Heart. His Heart Spirit collapsed and his Dao Heart cracked open once more. His aura instantly weakened and his injuries worsened, leaving him with only a fraction of his original strength. However, the Time Poison he unleashed was equally domineering. It made the Questioning Heart Sword Saint scream in agony as his entire body turned black as ink. He plummeted to the ground, his fate unknown.

With the Questioning Heart Sword Saint no longer a threat, the Hundred Poisons Saint attacked without inhibition. Poisonous gas erupted with intense virulence, hammering the Unparalleled Sword Formation until, with a final roar, it could hold no longer and broke apart.

SPURT! SPURT! SPURT!

One after another, the Forbidden Troops were sent flying, their faces turning pitch black as they vomited dark blood. Over a dozen of them died from the poison instantly, tragically melting into pools of pus.

The Unparalleled Sword Formation was broken. There was no one left who could save Su Han. The Hundred Poisons Saint took a single step forward, and his poisonous claw shot out like an eagle snatching a rabbit, clamping around Su Han’s throat and lifting him into the air.

Gazing at Su Han in his grasp, the Hundred Poisons Saint laughed, ”Finally caught you!”
