Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

"Nineteenth Prince, it seems your luck has run out!"

The three Great Saints formed a triangle to encircle Su Han. They sealed off the surrounding space and disrupted the power of time, creating an invisible cage from which he couldn’t escape even if he grew wings.

"This is bad! We must save His Highness!"

Seeing Su Han surrounded, everyone’s faces fell and their hearts sank. They all fought desperately to come to his aid, but the Hundred Poisons Saint and his allies were not to be trifled with. They went all out, firmly halting the efforts of Heart Sword Saint and the other three.

As for Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue, they were willing but powerless. The terrifying Holy Might that shook heaven and earth pressed down on them so heavily they could hardly breathe, let alone draw their swords for battle. The gap in strength was simply too great, so much so that it filled them with despair.

"Ambush Sword Array!"

The Imperial Guard acted. 10,000 guards formed a sword array and moved swiftly toward Su Han, intending to block the three Great Saints and protect him. The strength of 10,000 Imperial Guards was considerable, but their sheer numbers made them cumbersome and slow to maneuver. Still, no one dared to underestimate the Imperial Guard of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty.

"Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation!"

Elsewhere, 1,000 soldiers of the Black Armored Army, commanded by the Tiger Talisman, quickly formed a killing formation and charged toward the three Great Saints. They were deathsworn soldiers, unafraid of death, daring to challenge even a Saint.

The simultaneous advance of the Imperial Guard and the Black Armored Army created immense pressure, yet the three Great Saints remained completely unconcerned.

"Time is running out. I’ll send you on your way. In your next life, remember not to provoke King Yama’s Palace!" the Blood Fury Saint sneered, his right hand clenching into a fist that instantly glowed a fervent, fiery red.

"Heaven Rank Low-Level Martial Technique: Blood Fury Burst Fist!"

The Blood Fury Saint intended to kill Su Han before the Imperial Guard and the Black Armored Army could arrive. He struck with his full power, holding nothing back. His Holy Artifact was the Furious Holy Armor he wore, and his physique was already robust. By channeling the armor to execute a Heaven Rank Martial Technique, the power he unleashed was absolutely terrifying.

BOOM!

A kilometer-wide, blood-red Fist Blaze roared out, shattering space itself. Like a crimson meteor, it streaked across the sky, gathering the momentum of heaven and earth as it shot directly at Su Han, heralding the arrival of doomsday.

This punch was incredibly powerful and infused with the power of time, robbing Su Han of any chance to dodge. He had to face it head-on. The Blood Fury Saint was a Sage Realm Fifth Layer expert, and by using a Holy Artifact to unleash a Heaven Rank Martial Technique, the force of his blow was monstrous—enough to obliterate ten mountains in a single strike.

He was not acting alone. The other two Deputy Directors also brandished their Holy Artifacts and unleashed Heaven Rank Martial Techniques, attacking from the other two directions to leave Su Han no chance of escape. As a prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty who had cultivated in the Myriad Virtual Realm, Su Han surely possessed lifesaving treasures, even if his own strength was unknown. Therefore, the three Saints attacked with all their might, aiming to smash through his defenses and kill him in one fell swoop.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The space around Su Han completely disintegrated, and the ocean of poison churned violently. Three devastating attacks descended, each one fatal, making everyone’s heart leap into their throat.

Can Su Han survive?

This was the question on everyone’s mind. At that moment, under the watchful eyes of all, Su Han reached out and produced an item.

It was a sword-shaped jade tablet bearing a single sword mark, yet its appearance made the heavens and the earth change color and commanded submission from all creation.

The Emperor’s Command!

This was a treasure bestowed upon Su Han by the Flying Immortal Great Emperor. To see this token was to see the Great Emperor himself, granting its wielder immense authority. Su Han had previously used it to enter the Treasure Hall and mobilize the Imperial Guard, but the Emperor’s Command was more than a symbol—it was also a Holy Artifact.

As Su Han activated it, a surge of Imperial Might, as potent as the wrath of the heavens, erupted from the token. It swept across the world, causing everyone’s heart to sink and their bodies to tremble with an uncontrollable urge to kneel.

Simultaneously, the sword mark on the Emperor’s Command lit up. An invisible wave of Sword Momentum pressed down, collapsing the surrounding space and warping time itself, successfully blocking the attacks of the three Great Saints. From a distance, it looked as if a towering phantasmal figure stood between heaven and earth, gazing down upon the world and overseeing the vast wastes.

It was the Flying Immortal Great Emperor!

The release of Imperial Might subdued all spirits, and the surging Sword Momentum defended against all attacks. However, the Emperor’s Command was not an offensive Holy Artifact. If it had been, the power unleashed from the sword mark could have slain a Saint.

WHOOSH!

The three Great Saints’ full-power strike was blocked, its energy dissipating into nothing. But the light from the Emperor’s Command also dimmed. Eventually, the Imperial Might faded, the Sword Momentum vanished, and the token returned to its placid state.

"I refuse to believe you can block a second attack!" the Blood Fury Saint snarled as he quickly recovered. He stared at Su Han, his teeth gritted and his eyes filled with rage and madness.

The Imperial Guard and the Black Armored Army were closing in. He had to act fast, or the situation could change unexpectedly.

"Heaven Rank Low-Level Martial Technique: Blood Fury Burst Fist!"

The Blood Fury Saint attacked again. His blood-red Fist Blaze tore through the sky, carrying an unparalleled destructive force as it smashed down toward Su Han like a meteorite capable of crushing the earth and bringing utter disaster.

"Not good!"

The Blood Fury Saint had reacted with astonishing speed, striking the very instant the Emperor’s Command’s Imperial Might faded. The onlookers were shocked, and Heart Sword Saint and Wei Wenzheng grew even more anxious. Although the Emperor’s Command was powerful, its primary significance was symbolic; it was not a true combat artifact. Blocking one volley of attacks had been a feat in itself. Blocking another from the Blood Fury Saint seemed nearly impossible.

At that moment, no one could reach Su Han in time to shield him from the blow. Even the closest Imperial Guard was still more than ten seconds away.

"Go to hell, Nineteenth Prince! I’ll make sure you get a proper funeral!" the Blood Fury Saint grinned, already picturing Su Han being blown to pieces by his fist.

Yet, facing the rapidly approaching blood-red Fist Blaze, Su Han’s expression remained calm, betraying no hint of panic.

He reached into his Bronze Ring and retrieved a second treasure.

The blade was as bright as snow, and the hilt was pitch-black, the two colors in stark contrast. It was the Mysterious Void Holy Sword, lent to Su Han by the Mysterious Great Sword Saint. This was the personal sword of the Mysterious Great Sword Saint, a Supreme Grade Holy Artifact sealed with three of his most powerful Great Freedom Sword Qi.

The moment the Mysterious Void Holy Sword appeared, everyone felt a chill on their necks, as if the blade was about to behead them. The Blood Fury Saint’s hair stood on end as he felt the Grim Reaper’s gaze upon him.

"Kill!"

Holding the Mysterious Void Holy Sword, Su Han activated a sword pattern on its surface. Instantly, a terrifying Sword Intent swept across heaven and earth as a brilliant Sword Qi burst forth from the blade.

This was a full-power strike from the Mysterious Great Sword Saint, an attack that not even the Hundred Poisons Saint would dare to face lightly. The Great Freedom Sword Qi transformed into a celestial river that spanned the heavens, cleaving through the blood-red Fist Blaze. Without losing any momentum, it shot straight toward the Blood Fury Saint.

The Blood Fury Saint attacked frantically, trying to block the incoming energy, but all his defenses were utterly useless against the Great Freedom Sword Qi.

SPLAT!

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the Sword Qi stretched for 3,000 meters and sliced clean through the Blood Fury Saint’s neck.

The Blood Fury Saint was dead.
