Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

”Wei Ying, take His Highness and escape. We’ll stay behind to hold them off. The safety of His Highness is the most important. If push comes to shove, you must protect His Highness, even at the cost of your own life!”

Wei Wenzheng transmitted his divine sense, entrusting Wei Ying with the task of protecting Su Han.

Though they had four saints on their side, apart from the Sword Saint of Heart Inquiry who could barely put up a fight, Wei Wenzheng and General Wu Wei were not opponents, and Wei Ying even less. This battle was doomed to be a fight against overwhelming odds.

The focus of this battle was Su Han. The three Yin Commanders had come for Su Han, and they had to ensure Su Han’s safety. Given the circumstances, having the weakest Wei Ying take Su Han and escape while the three of them delayed with their lives was the only option.

For Wei Wenzheng, this decision was extremely difficult as Wei Ying was his biological sister. But as the head of the Wei Family, he had to make a choice, and Su Han’s value was evidently greater than Wei Ying’s.

Wei Wenzheng was not a heartless or unjust person, but this was the only option. Wei Ying did not resist and expressed her understanding.

”Brother, I’ll definitely take Xing’er and escape. You take care!”

The three Yin Commanders arrived together, sealing off time and space, arrogant and relentless. Wei Ying was also worried about Wei Wenzheng’s safety.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the underground secret chamber opened, and a familiar figure emerged. It was Su Han.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze concentrated on him.

With his hair tied under the golden crown, wearing the python robe, his sword-like brows and starry eyes showed cold arrogance. A surging sword intent burst forth from his body, stunning all.

After days of seclusion, Su Han successfully devoured and refined six saint corpses. He had now taken half a step forward, becoming a half-saint, just a step away from the Saint Realm.

Mighty demonic qi circulated within him, his qi-blood surging, his spirit vibrant, his eyes sharp as electricity. Su Han was in an excellent state, stronger than ever.

”Three Yin Commanders!”

Su Han looked up, his gaze falling on the three Yin Commanders, his heart somewhat heavy.

He had long anticipated that the King Yama’s Palace would retaliate, but he hadn’t expected it to be this swift, sending all three Yin Commanders at once and cornering him in the Red Earth Mine.

The situation was dire, but regret and fear were useless emotions at this point; only confrontation was the choice.

However, escaping from the hands of the three Yin Commanders was not easy. They came prepared, sealing off the surrounding time and space, giving Su Han and others no chance to escape, akin to catching turtles in a jar.

”Nineteenth Prince, you killed our people from the King Yama’s Palace and uprooted nine strongholds. Such sins deserve death. Today, we will grind your bones to dust, shaking the world!”

The Black Cloud Great Saint’s eyes were sharp with a terrifying holy might sweeping through, causing space to tremble, heaven and earth to roar.

”Die!”

The next moment, the Black Cloud Great Saint attacked directly. He reached out and grabbed, causing rolling black clouds to converge into a massive hand, five thousand meters in size, mighty and overwhelming, pressing down on Su Han and others, intending to turn them into mince.

This hand, although formed by black clouds, was solid and heavy like a mountain, leaving no doubt of its horrific power.

”No heart, no sword!”

A holy light flew out, resisting the Black Cloud Great Saint’s holy might while deploying powerful Heart Sword Technique, forming an invisible sword that slashed at the Black Cloud Great Saint’s heart spirit.

Crack!

The Black Cloud Great Saint’s heart spirit was affected; though not broken, it impacted the cloud hand, which cracked and split, yet didn’t harm Su Han and others.

”Heart Inquiry Sword Saint, you are seeking death!”

This strike was blocked by the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint, making the Black Cloud Great Saint narrow his eyes, a murderous intent cold in them.

Though the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint was also a Saint Realm Ninth Layer expert, he was not a match for the Great Saint. Yet, without intervening, Su Han would be absolutely bereft of any hope of survival.

Swoosh!

The Heart Inquiry Sword Saint reached into his storage ring and took out a holy sword.

The Heart Sword Technique relied on the heart as the sword, not needing a real sword, but this time, facing the Black Cloud Great Saint, the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint was unsure. He hoped to hold off the Black Cloud Great Saint, buying precious escape time for Su Han.

”Courting death!”

The Black Cloud Great Saint’s eyes blazed with murderous intent, angered by the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint’s obstruction. He reached out and conjured a piece of black curtain, capable of absorbing all light.

This was the Black Cloud Great Saint’s holy artifact, the Shady Curtain, able to envelop an area and trap enemies with formidable power.

Blam! Blam!

Soon, the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint clashed with the Black Cloud Great Saint. Although the Black Cloud Great Saint was formidable, the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint was not weak, and the Heart Sword Technique was mysterious. The Black Cloud Great Saint found it difficult to defeat the Heart Inquiry Sword Saint quickly, yet the latter was being pushed back, evidently only able to delay, unable to retaliate.

”A firefly dares to compete with the bright moon? Laughable!”

The Extinguish Lightning Great Saint sneered, then waved a hand, and a pale lightning appeared, carrying destructively terrifying power towards Su Han, intending to obliterate him utterly.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Sword Piercing the Star River!”

Wei Wenzheng charged out, wielding the Mysterious Gold Holy Sword, instantly deploying his domain with physique fusion, sword intent soaring, holy light bursting, attacking with full force.

Though only Saint Realm Sixth Layer, Wei Wenzheng was no match for Extinguish Lightning Great Saint; without a desperate fight, he wouldn’t even qualify to delay, so he went all out from the start.

The Mysterious Gold Holy Sword slashed horizontally, the freezing sword radiance like a galaxy, carrying peerless sharp sword intent, slicing towards the lightning.

Boom!

The explosion was earth-shattering, the lightning was blocked by Wei Wenzheng, but Wei Wenzheng was sent flying, face pale, blood at his lips, suffering significant injuries.

”My Indestructible Lightning is beyond your defense, foolishly ignorant!”

The Extinguish Lightning Great Saint showed disdain, reaching out to reveal a brilliant mirror, the Indestructible Holy Mirror, capable of unleashing indestructible lightning, terrifyingly destructive.

”Quick, take His Highness and go!”

Wei Wenzheng gritted his teeth, fully exploding to stall Extinguish Lightning Great Saint with his life.

”When death arrives, no creature survives, so all must die!”

Death Rain Great Saint approached, her movements slow yet swift, holding a pitch-black whip, deathly quiet, akin to the Grim Reaper’s scythe.

General Wu Wei showed resolution, wielding the Silver Light Holy Spear, attacking with all his might to stall Death Rain Great Saint.

”Xing’er, let’s go!”

Wei Ying clenched her silver teeth, quickly tearing through space with Su Han to escape.

This battle was impossible, only flight remained!
