Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

”Meng Po Empress... lost?”

Countless gazes converged on Meng Po Empress, filled with deep shock and disbelief.

Who is Meng Po Empress?

She is the Empress of King Yama’s Palace, a monstrous prodigy ranked near the top of the Hidden Dragon List, and moreover a Semi-Saint, possessing the Forget River Sacred Body as well as endless methods and treasures. Her strength is so formidable that ordinary Saints might not be her match.

Yet at this moment she was defeated, knocked down in public, like a lofty goddess dragged down into the mortal world, filled with a sense of upheaval.

In this instant, everyone formed a profound impression of Su Han’s power.

Previously, though Su Han’s name had shaken the Central Plains, it was mostly because he had ignited the war between the Heavenly Sword Dynasty and King Yama’s Palace. As for his own Innate and strength, while somewhat renowned, he was still considered inferior to an old-school prodigy like Meng Po Empress.

But today, Su Han spoke with facts, delivering a blow straight to everyone’s heart, making them truly recognize how powerful he was.

Swoosh!

Su Han did not stop there. He activated the Character Technique of Motion, his entire body bursting past the speed of sound, and with the blessing of the power of time, his speed reached the extreme, charging straight toward Meng Po Empress.

Take your life while you’re sick!

Su Han had no intention of pitying a beauty, nor any thought of stopping short. He was already enemies with King Yama’s Palace; naturally he could not be soft-hearted toward Meng Po Empress.

If he could heavily wound Meng Po Empress today, or even kill her, it would absolutely be good news for Su Han.

”Enough!”

Just then, a cold snort suddenly rang out, and a streak of black light shot from the bridal carriage, like a flexible tail that wrapped around Meng Po Empress and hauled her back down in front of the carriage.

Su Han’s strike hit empty air. He did not continue chasing, because he felt a surge of powerful Holy Might.

Clearly Meng Po Empress’s Protector had made a move!

As the Empress of King Yama’s Palace, Meng Po Empress naturally had a Protector guarding her, and that Protector was very strong. If Su Han pursued to kill her, he would likely suffer.

”You Mau Great Saint, let go of me, I want to kill him!”

Meng Po Empress howled, her face twisted hideously, struggling to break free of the black light’s restraint, her rage soaring, killing intent sky-high, wishing she could tear Su Han into five pieces and shred him to fragments.

She had never regarded Su Han as an opponent. She had assumed that once she acted, she could easily defeat Su Han, even kill him, and thus restore King Yama’s Palace’s lost face.

Yet she never expected that due to a moment’s carelessness, she would instead be defeated by Su Han, losing face before countless witnesses. This was something her pride could not accept, and now she wanted to keep battling Su Han.

”If you want to fight, save it for the martial contest for marriage. For today, this ends here!”

The same cold voice rang out again. The black light was like rope, coiling around Meng Po Empress and preventing her from breaking free, dragging her back into the carriage.

”You Mau Great Saint!”

Su Han’s eyes narrowed slightly as he activated the Nine Heavens Eye, instantly seeing through the carriage to its interior.

He saw that apart from Meng Po Empress, there was only a single black cat inside.

This black cat’s fur was jet-black and lustrous, every strand crystalline, like silk woven from the cloud-light of the Nine Heavens, so beautiful one could hardly bear to let go.

Su Han had not expected Meng Po Empress’s Protector to be not human, but a demonic beast.

However, this You Mau Great Saint was very powerful, giving Su Han a feeling even stronger than the three Great Shadow Marshals he had encountered before, and making a faint chill rise in his heart, as if some unknown danger lurked there.

Swoosh!

You Mau Great Saint seemed to sense Su Han’s peeping, turned its head to look, and Su Han immediately saw a pair of deep, emerald ghostly cat eyes.

Those cat eyes were filled with eerie strangeness, like an unfathomable deep pool, making even Su Han’s Heart Spirit feel the urge to sink into them.

Buzz!

Just then, the ancient spear at the center of Su Han’s sea of consciousness trembled slightly, stabbing pain into his brain and jolting him from his descent.

His heart lurched, and he swiftly withdrew the Nine Heavens Eye, not daring to look at the carriage again.

”What terrifying eyes. Its Divine Sense is too strong; I’m no match at all!”

Su Han’s back went cold, lingering fear in his heart. The Nine Heavens Eye was a Divine Method, invisible to ordinary people, but You Mau Great Saint was a special demonic beast, its Divine Sense incomparably powerful. Even without detecting the Nine Heavens Eye, it still sensed something amiss and actively struck back, nearly causing Su Han to sink forever.

”Your Highness, You Mau Great Saint is one of the Ten Great Shadow Marshals of King Yama’s Palace, ranked second among them, and possesses terrifying spiritual power. You must be careful!”

Eunuch Sun stepped forward, blocking Su Han from You Mau Great Saint’s gaze. Only then did Su Han feel somewhat better.

Ranked second among the Ten Great Shadow Marshals, truly terrifying. Within the Saint Realm, probably only Quasi-Emperor experts could suppress it. Though he had mastered a Divine Method, the gap in Divine Sense was too great, and he still couldn’t contend.

Black Cat Great Saint!

Su Han etched the name into his memory, and at the same time guarded against its methods, since Divine Sense Attacks were silent and invisible, the hardest to defend against.

”Fifth Elder, take us to our quarters!”

You Mau Great Saint spoke again to the old crone of the Liu Family. Though strong, it was not invincible. Eunuch Sun could block it, and besides, this was Wanliu City; it did not want to offend the Ancient Liu Family here.

”You two are both dragons and phoenixes among men. This is our Ancient Liu Family’s martial contest for marriage. I hope both sides can take a step back and coexist peacefully.”

The Fifth Elder spoke, playing the mediator, unwilling to see Su Han and Meng Po Empress clash now.

”Indeed, I hope you both can give my Liu Family some face and let this go for now.”

Saint Wanqing also spoke. The battle could no longer continue, and Su Han did not rush to strike again. He sheathed the Soul Severing Sword and returned to Saint Wanqing’s side.

The Fifth Elder led the way, guiding the bridal carriage procession forward. The Liu Family had long prepared a temporary residence for Meng Po Empress, and it was set up separately—after all, among those coming to the martial contest for marriage this time, she was the only woman!

”Your Highness, this way please!”

Saint Wanqing continued his role as host, smiling and cupping his hands in invitation.

Su Han no longer looked at Meng Po Empress. Together with Eunuch Sun, bringing Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue along, he followed Saint Wanqing away.

Soon, the figures of both parties vanished from the crowd’s sight, but the battle’s impact did not fade.

”Meng Po Empress may be beautiful, but she’s just as ruthless and vicious as the rumors say. This kind of thorny rose is too terrifying; I need to stay far away from her in the future.”

”I truly didn’t expect the Nineteenth Prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty to possess such strength. Not only is he not inferior to Meng Po Empress, he actually defeated her. Even though it was only an initial exchange, you can still see how extraordinary the Nineteenth Prince is.”

”But the Nineteenth Prince has been too high-profile lately. The tallest tree catches the wind. I hear he clashed with Dugu Imperial Son on the way here. In this martial contest for marriage, things might not go smoothly for him.”

The crowd chattered incessantly. After this battle, their impression of Su Han grew even deeper, yet many also worried for him.

After all, Su Han had offended quite a few people, and each one was a formidable enemy.

Looks like this martial contest for marriage will be very exciting!
