Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 354 - 341: Who is targeting me?

Qing Wu's headless corpse fell from mid-air, hitting the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

With Qing Wu dead, the crisis was resolved. Su Han and Zhang Xiaowan were temporarily safe.

"This... this..." Gazing at Qing Wu's headless corpse, Zhang Xiaowan's eyes widened, at a loss for words.

She had not expected Su Han to be so powerful—so powerful that he had single-handedly slain both Di Yuan and Qing Wu.

These two were renowned prodigies of the Demon Race, each with a resounding reputation. Encountering just one of them would typically force her to retreat, yet now they were both dead. Adding the earlier deaths of Kong Sha, Xuan Song, and Zi Qiong, it meant that almost all five of the Tian Lou Saint's major followers had died at Su Han's hands.

This... this was simply inconceivable!

This feud was a matter of life and death and was beyond reconciliation. The Tian Lou Saint would certainly not let Su Han off lightly. However, even without today's incident, Su Han had previously killed Zi Qiong and Xuan Song. The Tian Lou Saint would not have spared him anyway, meaning the situation couldn't get much worse.

"It's over, it's all over! I actually joined you to kill Di Yuan and Qing Wu. The Tian Lou Saint will definitely see me as an accomplice. I'm doomed this time!" Zhang Xiaowan's face turned deathly pale as she finally realized the gravity of the situation, muttering to herself incessantly.

Though she was scared, she had no regrets. Given another chance, she would still choose to help Su Han. Loyalty was her most defining trait.

"Come what may, I'll take full responsibility. You won't be implicated," Su Han said reassuringly. He then retrieved the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, erased the Formation Patterns, and disposed of the bodies.

Di Yuan's corpse had already been absorbed and refined by Su Han, but Qing Wu's remained. Although the Qingluan Spirit Body was not highly ranked, it was still a Special Physique. Su Han had no intention of casually devouring it, so he stored it in his Bronze Ring.

"We shouldn't linger here. Let's find a place to heal," he suggested.

Zhang Xiaowan had sustained severe injuries in the battle, leaving her half-dead. While Su Han possessed a Sacred Body with a strong Self-Healing Ability, his body still contained many impurities from absorbing Di Yuan, so he also needed to perform Body Refining.

The two of them quickly left the basin and disappeared.

The wind swept across the basin, stirring up sand and revealing the dreadful, war-torn landscape—a shocking sight to behold.

In the Inner Area, the Dragon's Might was even more intense, creating the feeling of constantly facing a real, colossal dragon.

While some prodigies of the Divine Power Realm had ventured into the central area, only those at the Heavenly King Realm were qualified to enter this place. The Dragon's Might was profound and space itself was compressed, but the opportunities here were far greater. Even a Dragon Qi Demon Beast possessed the strength of the Heavenly King Realm, and the Dragon Qi obtained from slaying one was unprecedentedly large.

However, the prodigies who could reach this place were not focused solely on Dragon Qi; they had far greater ambitions.

At that moment, a massive battle was erupting in a mountainous region, filled with thunderous roars, violent energy fluctuations, and dazzling, terrifying light. In the midst of the battlefield were four individuals, all top-tier prodigies.

One of them, dressed in a sky-blue robe, was none other than the Tian Lou Saint. He cut a heroic figure, and his every attack unleashed a world-shaking Vajra Power. His opponent was also formidable: a handsome young man in imperial robes with an extraordinary demeanor. The youth bore some resemblance to Xiao Tian but was more handsome and aloof, and the pride on his face was something Xiao Tian could never match.

He pushed his palm forward, and space itself trembled, transforming into massive waves that crashed toward the Tian Lou Saint. Although he was only at the Heavenly King Realm, his mastery of Spatial Force was more profound than that of some experts in the Supreme Realm.

"Tian Luo, let's see who is truly superior!"

The imperial-robed youth's eyes flashed like lightning. He stared intently at the Tian Lou Saint, his gaze brimming with fighting spirit.

This person was none other than the Imperial Son of the Xiao Family, Xiao Tianming. As the Imperial Son of an Immortal Emperor Clan, being outranked by the Tian Lou Saint was a source of great irritation for him. He had always wanted to defeat the Tian Lou Saint and reclaim his rightful glory. Having encountered him here in the inner area, he did not hesitate to attack.

Both the Tian Lou Saint and Xiao Tianming were at the seventh layer of the Heavenly King Realm. Although there was a slight gap in their strength, it was very limited, and it would be difficult to determine a victor in fewer than three hundred exchanges.

Elsewhere, the Yu Yao Holy Maiden was in combat with a handsome and distinguished young man. If Su Han were present, he would have recognized this man as Jun Zhantian, the first-ranked prodigy of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

The Tian Lou Saint against the Imperial Son of the Xiao Family!

The Yu Yao Holy Maiden against Jun Zhantian!

The lineup alone was enough to astound the world. The four of them were now locked in a fierce battle, all vying for the same opportunity. The difference in their strengths was not substantial, so despite the continuous fighting, no victor had emerged.

The Tian Lou Saint's overall strength was slightly greater than Xiao Tianming's, and thus he held a slight advantage. Yet at that moment, the Tian Lou Saint's expression changed, revealing a momentary flaw.

"Tyrant Emperor Fist!"

Xiao Tianming instantly seized the opening and struck, launching one of his greatest killing techniques. A punch flew out like a plummeting star, accompanied by a powerful Imperial Might that dominated all under heaven and shook Jiuzhou itself. This punch was a Heaven Rank Martial Technique created by a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse of the Xiao Family. Although Xiao Tianming could not unleash its true power, it was an invincible technique among his peers.

The Tian Lou Saint tried to block, but his reaction was a moment too late. In a battle between experts, every second counts, and a single flaw can dictate the outcome.

Xiao Tianming's fist struck him out of mid-air, smashing him into the ground below.

The earth shook violently, fracturing and cracking apart as mountains collapsed into piles of rubble in a terrifying spectacle.

Enveloped in a golden light, the Tian Lou Saint flew up from the dust and debris. He was not gravely injured, but a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, a clear sign he had suffered a major blow.

However, the Tian Lou Saint ignored Xiao Tianming. He furrowed his brow and turned to look toward the central region. In that instant, he had sensed the life force of both Di Yuan and Qing Wu being extinguished. This meant they had met a violent end.

Who is opposing me, slaughtering my followers one after another?

The Tian Lou Saint's eyes flashed with a cold, murderous intent. He did not know who had killed Di Yuan and Qing Wu but was certain someone was deliberately targeting him. It could be the East Sea Demon Clan or even one of the Four Great Imperial Clans. As for Su Han, he was ruled out; the Tian Lou Saint did not believe Su Han had the strength to kill both Di Yuan and Qing Wu.

"Yu Yao, let's go!"

With a mysterious enemy targeting him from the shadows, the Tian Lou Saint dared not take any chances and decided to abandon the opportunity here.

No matter who you are, if you dare to target me, I will hunt you down and kill you!
