Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 325 - 312: Giving You a Chance

Hmm? Su Han's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Xiao Tian. Conscript? That's hardly a good word. Besides, I don't even know this Xiao Tian, let alone want any entanglement with him.

Just then, the youth with peach blossom eyes and the other three descended from the sky, landing around Su Han and subtly blocking his retreat. Although they didn't know why Xiao Tian had suddenly targeted Su Han, they all wanted to curry favor with him and naturally couldn't let Su Han escape.

"Who are you?"

The Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi circulated within Su Han, ready for action at any moment. He never submitted to anyone and certainly wouldn't take orders from others.

"Kid, what rock did you crawl out from under? You don't even recognize Young Master Xiao Tian?"

Xiao Tian didn't speak. Instead, the youth with peach blossom eyes answered quickly, staring at Su Han in amazement as if gazing upon a rare treasure.

Xiao Tian? From the Xiao Family of the Four Great Imperial Clans? Su Han quickly deduced Xiao Tian's identity and origin. He hadn't expected to encounter someone from the Four Great Imperial Clans so soon, much less have them actively seek him out.

Xiao Tian was very strong, and the other four were not weak either. The youth with peach blossom eyes was at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Power Realm, while the other three were around the Third or Fourth Layer. If these five joined forces, no one could resist them unless an expert from the Heavenly King Realm appeared. Su Han, at only the Ninth Layer of the Physique Realm, would be no match for them even if he used all his trump cards.

But why are they targeting me? Su Han was puzzled. He didn't act rashly, wanting to find out the reason first.

The youth with peach blossom eyes spoke again. He was aware of Su Han's identity, as Su Han had arrived with Tongyan and had a feud with the Tian Lou Saint, which had drawn the attention of many. "Kid, let me tell you, Young Master Xiao Tian is a prodigy of the Xiao Family, one of the Four Great Imperial Clans. Not only does he possess the Storm Monarch Body, but he is also ranked sixty-fifth on the Monstrous Talent List, far beyond a nobody like you."

The youth's own innate talent was impressive and his strength respectable; he was likely a prodigy on the Monstrous Talent List himself. To Su Han, however, he was insignificant. The only one who truly mattered was Xiao Tian.

"Tao Ming!"

Xiao Tian finally spoke. The youth with peach blossom eyes, Tao Ming, instantly understood and fell silent. At that moment, Xiao Tian surveyed Su Han from top to bottom, his expression still haughty.

"Su Han, I know you have a vendetta against the Tian Lou Saint. Coincidentally, my Xiao Family also has a grievance with him. We have a common enemy, but you're too weak. I'll give you a chance. Become my servant, and I will let you personally witness the day of his defeat, and even his death."

Xiao Tian spoke from a position of superiority, his tone arrogant. His goal, it turned out, was to make Su Han his servant. Of course, with his own talent and strength, he was no match for the Tian Lou Saint. The real purpose of this was simply to irritate the Saint and get under his skin.

The Four Great Imperial Clans of the Eastern Region each had their own Imperial Sons and Imperial Daughters. However, the Xiao Family's Imperial Son was only ranked fifth on the Monstrous Talent List, with the Tian Lou Saint occupying one of the top four positions. For an Imperial Clan like the Xiao Family, this was an unbearable humiliation. Because of this, the prodigies of the Xiao Family always harbored enmity toward the Tian Lou Saint. The Xiao Family's Imperial Son, in particular, had been watching him, hoping to defeat him and reclaim his rightful glory.

Xiao Tian was not an Imperial Son, so he couldn't defeat the Tian Lou Saint head-on. However, he figured that annoying the Saint was a good alternative. After all, it would cost him nothing more than taking on a new servant. It was this thought that made him stop when he spotted Su Han.

"Heavens, this is an unparalleled honor! Kid, what are you waiting for? Kneel and acknowledge your master already!" Tao Ming quickly chimed in, urging Su Han on.

Though Xiao Tian wasn't the Xiao Family's Imperial Son, he was still a clan prodigy with a prestigious status. Following him would not only bring tremendous benefits but might even lead to joining the Xiao Family itself. With them as a protective umbrella, who in the vast Eastern Region would dare to bully him? Tao Ming was trying so hard to ingratiate himself in the hopes of winning Xiao Tian's favor and clinging to his powerful coattails, especially since his own faction was not even as strong as a Holy Land.

Tao Ming's thinking was identical to Ye Chuanfeng's. Unfortunately, it was not Su Han's. He never wished to gain benefits through fawning or flattery. I am a demon. My path is to rise against the heavens, unyielding and unbending. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Even facing Xiao Tian, even surrounded by five people in a dire situation, Su Han had no intention of submitting. He was about to refuse outright.

Xiao Tian spoke again, aiming to shatter Su Han's psychological defenses in one go. "By the way, I see you haven't broken through to the Divine Power Realm yet. We are going to Dragon Blood Mountain, where there is an abundance of Dragon Blood Herb and Dragon Qi Demon Beasts. Follow us, and I will help you break through. Consider it a welcoming gift."

What he wanted was Su Han's sincere submission. Only then could he use Su Han to provoke the Tian Lou Saint and disturb his Heart Spirit.

However, these words made Su Han swallow the refusal on the tip of his tongue. He had been searching for Dragon Blood Mountain for over half a month with no success, having no idea where it was. According to the Great Majestic Demon King, Zhang Xiaowan's injuries could be stabilized for a month, but they would worsen after that. Su Han was running out of time.

This Xiao Tian was arrogant and annoying, but Su Han could use him to find Dragon Blood Mountain. For Zhang Xiaowan's sake, a temporary compromise is nothing!

"I can go with you to Dragon Blood Mountain," Su Han stated his condition, "but you must first help me break through to the Divine Power Realm. Only then will I consider becoming your servant."

"This is a tremendous gift, and you dare to set conditions!" Tao Ming's eyes bulged with irritation at Su Han's audacity, but Xiao Tian raised a hand, stopping him from saying more.

"The words of this young master are of course true. Come with us. I will ensure you successfully break through!"

In Xiao Tian's view, helping Su Han break through was a trivial matter, so it wasn't worth forcing the issue now.

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Tao Ming held his tongue, but his gaze toward Su Han was filled with annoyance and hostility. He clearly thought Su Han was ungrateful.

The group set off again, but this time the party of five had become a party of six with the addition of Su Han.

This time, Su Han didn't need to search for a path. Using his Nine Heavens Eye, he noticed the Dragon's Might ahead was growing increasingly profound, seeming to form a gravitational field that twisted and warped the very air.

Xiao Tian walked with his hands clasped behind his back, his nose in the air, maintaining his superior posture. Tao Ming continued to glare at Su Han with animosity, while the other three trailed behind to prevent his escape.

Half a day passed quickly. The Dragon's Might ahead became overwhelmingly heavy, coalescing into rolling dark clouds that made it hard to breathe.

Beneath those dark clouds stood a blood-red mountain, three thousand meters high, from which the terrifying Dragon's Might emanated.

Dragon Blood Mountain. They had finally arrived
