Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

This is only the Fifth Cliff.

Su Han is desperate to know whether the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons is dead, how Liu Qingyao is doing now, and what Yuan Ling is up to.

And to find out these things, one must enter the Sixth Cliff and Seventh Cliff.

And the two cliffs ahead will surely require a lot of time.

Therefore, he doesn’t want to waste time in this Illusion Realm.

But this Illusion Realm relentlessly repeats everything that happened before, refusing to let Su Han leave!

"Hoo... hoo..."

Su Han’s chest heaves, breathing heavily.

His expression turns somber at this moment, as he looks at the Wind Blade and Long Spear that have already arrived before him, taking action again.

Only by taking action can he change what happens next; otherwise, Su Han’s flesh will be cut, and everything will cycle back.

"Boom!"

A massive roar echoes, the Wind Blade shatters, the Long Spear collapses, and that golden Arrow once again arrives at the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons.

As long as Su Han is willing, the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons will immediately die!

Yuan Ling is still jeering and sneering nearby, like an evil little clown.

The Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, too, still carries a look of sorrow, a bitter smile, and even a trace of relief.

Perhaps, to ’him,’ only death is true liberation.

That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Destruction Empress and Xiang’er, nor feel guilty that Su Han was killed by him.

But seeing these emotions, how could Su Han bring himself to kill him?

As Yuan Ling said, Su Han misses the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, misses the Sun Sword God and them too much...

Even though this is just an Illusion Realm, Su Han is unwilling to deal a fatal blow.

"Hiss!"

In silence, Su Han disperses that Arrow for the second time.

Sure enough, as predicted, the scene changes, and the previous scene appears again.

"What is this Illusion Realm trying to do?"

Su Han’s face is so grim that water might drip from it.

"Is it deliberately trying to torment me? Watching me and the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons kill each other? Or does it have another meaning?"

"Could it be... is it expressing something to me?"

"How could that be possible? The relationship between me, the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, and Yuan Ling is already extremely clear, what else could be expressed? Besides, this is just an Illusion Realm, it has no spirit, how could it express anything to me? Am I overthinking it?"

"But if I don’t deal a fatal blow, then this Illusion Realm will keep repeating indefinitely..."

"Only by killing him can the path ahead appear?"

"It must be. Yuan Ling is always standing by the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, jeering and howling, but even when my Arrow is at the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, he doesn’t make any move to help."

All thoughts flash through his mind in an instant.

Su Han suddenly raises his head, once again pulling the Sun God Bow and shooting towards the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons with a loud bang.

The Wind Blade shatters, the Long Spear disperses.

As the Arrow is about to hit the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, Su Han’s eyes show decisiveness, without any intention to stop.

But at this moment, the Arrow stops on its own.

Su Han’s brows furrow deeply.

But he sees there, the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons’ eyes are blood-red, with tears flowing.

He looks tragically at Su Han, with a smile of relief.

"Su Han, since I met you, I’ve regarded you as a friend."

"Yuan Ling says you’re selfish, that you don’t care about others’ feelings, but I know, how could you be such a person?"

"You once plunged into peril countless times for me and for him, almost getting killed. Did I forget all that?"

"No, I can’t possibly forget..."

"But people ultimately have some things and matters that they care about and remember."

"You’re not a selfish person, nor am I."

"Nujing has been with me for so many years, and I’ve never given her any status."

"I brought Xiang’er to this world, and she hasn’t had a proper chance to explore it, how could I watch her die like this?"

"I don’t want to kill you, but I have to kill you!"

"Perhaps, only if I die, can I truly be liberated."

"Then I won’t have to feel guilty towards you, nor worry about anyone."

"Come on, kill me..."

"If there’s another life, if you’re willing, we can still be brothers!"

As his voice falls, the scene resets, and the Arrow is about to hit the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons’ forehead.

But Su Han’s body trembles, his expression grim, clenching his teeth, he destroys that Arrow for the third time.

"Hiss!"

The scene shifts, and unsurprisingly, returns to before.

"You’re forcing me..."

Su Han clenches his fists, veins popping on his forehead, almost grinding his teeth.

He looks up at the void, perhaps speaking to the Illusion Realm, or maybe speaking to the three Imperial Beings.

"You’re forcing me!!!"

"You insist on forcing me to kill him, why must you force me to kill him!!!"

The voice is earth-shattering, a howl of rage, all of Su Han’s negative emotions seem to be drawn out at this moment.

Yet no one is able to answer him.

Moreover, at this moment, the mixture of emotions in Su Han’s roar suddenly halts!

"Why do you have to force me..."

"Why?"

"Why must you force me to kill him?"

His tone, from initial anger and unwillingness, gradually turns to mumbling, finally becoming a question.

Regarding aptitude, Su Han truly can’t claim to be strong.

But in terms of mindset, having survived for millions of years and having lived two lives, he is definitely not weak!

In this instant, he seems to understand something.

There is an eighty percent chance that this Illusion Realm is expressing something to him.

As for what exactly it’s expressing, Su Han doesn’t know.

Perhaps, only after killing the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons will he understand.

"Hoo..."

The Arrow comes to the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons before, and once more, the latter utters those emotional words.

But this time, Su Han acts as if he hasn’t heard anything.

His face expressionless, staring ahead.

"Pfft!"

The Arrow pierces through the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons’ forehead, his gaze slowly fading, and the figure Su Han longed for collapses slowly at that moment.

"Bang!"

As it hits the ground, dust scatters.

In the next moment—

Yuan Ling, the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, the stone table, the stone stools...

Whether it was a figure or item, it all turned into starlight, disappearing between Heaven and Earth.

And the entire scene, at this moment, vanished completely.

The Illusion Realm disappeared, the clouds and mist disappeared, and the Fifth Cliff appeared before Su Han.

He sees a figure sitting cross-legged on the cliff.

That’s the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.

But Su Han’s gaze doesn’t linger long on the Yin-Yang Blade Saint.

He flickers, steps forward, directly standing on the Fifth Cliff.

"Sure enough, only by killing the Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons, will this Illusion Realm disappear!"

"But why is this?"

"In terms of difficulty, this Illusion Realm isn’t very strong; if I were ruthless, I could easily pass through."

"Could it be that what this Illusion Realm is expressing is about me? Or about..."

"The Ancient Emperor of Holy Demons!"
