Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 610: Counterkill

By this time, Su Han and his two companions had already left Fine Copper City.

"Mr. Su, the nearest city is Hengchuan City. Should we head there or somewhere else?" Knowing the situation was urgent, Li Mingliang asked for Su Han’s opinion the moment they stepped out of the city gates.

"We’ll head toward Hengchuan City and wait for our prey!"

Su Han’s decision slightly startled Li Mingliang. Wait for their prey? The identity of that prey was self-explanatory.

"Mr. Su, do you think the Nineteenth Prince will send people after us immediately?" Li Mingliang had assumed the Nineteenth Prince would be concerned about the Imperial Family’s reputation and wouldn’t act so quickly. After all, so little time had passed that anyone could connect the dots.

"Prepare for a fight!" Su Han didn’t explain further. He had already seen through the Nineteenth Prince’s arrogant and prideful nature. Such a man was petty and vindictive—the type to take revenge overnight. He would definitely send someone immediately.

Su Han’s words deepened Li Mingliang’s worry, but since things had already come to this, there was no point dwelling on it. He steeled himself, mentally preparing for battle.

Li Qingyue, on the other hand, had already composed herself. Unlike Li Mingliang, she showed no worry. Instead, she was perfectly calm, her beautiful eyes glinting with a cold killing intent.

As a Sword Cultivator, she must draw her sword against any foe and press forward relentlessly!

"They’re here!" Su Han’s powerful Divine Sense was incredibly sharp, and he quickly detected their arrival.

Five figures were chasing them from the direction of Fine Copper City. They made no attempt to hide their presence, advancing openly and making no effort to disguise their murderous pursuit.

Among the five, four were experts of the Heavenly King Realm, and their leader was a powerhouse at the Third Layer of the Supreme Realm.

Su Han had been concealing his aura, revealing a cultivation of only the Physique Realm. Meanwhile, Li Mingliang was only in the Divine Power Realm, and Li Qingyue was merely in the Heavenly Human Realm.

A lineup of one Supreme and four Heavenly Kings was so powerful that they had no need for schemes or tricks; they could crush their targets with brute force alone.

The five men were swift. They rapidly caught up to Su Han’s group and surrounded them in a tight ring.

"You have some nerve, daring to offend the Nineteenth Prince. You’re truly courting death." The leader, a Supreme Realm expert, was a steward from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. Dressed in a brocade robe, he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exuding an imposing aura as he looked down upon Su Han’s trio.

In his eyes, the three were merely turtles in a jar. He was confident he could capture them single-handedly, let alone with four of his subordinates present.

However, the Pavilion Master’s orders were to capture them alive so the Nineteenth Prince could vent his anger. Therefore, he did not attack immediately.

"You offended the Nineteenth Prince, so your good days are over. Surrender obediently now, and you might spare yourselves some pain!" The brocade-robed man sneered, fully confident he had them. He didn’t believe for a second that these three turtles in a jar could escape his grasp.

"Elder Li, take good care of Qingyue!" Su Han instructed, his expression calm as he walked toward the brocade-robed man.

"Boy, I’ve had my eye on you for a while. Who do you think you are, daring to offend the Nineteenth Prince? If it weren’t for his mercy, I would have killed you on the spot!" The brocade-robed man had been one of those who greeted the Copper Tiger Saint, so he had witnessed the entire incident. Seeing Su Han step forward now, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Su Han wasted no time on the man’s nonsense. He clenched his left hand into a fist and struck.

"You really don’t know your own limits, daring to attack me. In that case, I’ll teach you a lesson before I drag you back to the Nineteenth Prince for judgment!" Since Su Han had only shown the strength of the Physique Realm, the man didn’t take him seriously at all. Seeing Su Han take the initiative, he simply sneered with contempt.

WHOOSH!

The brocade-robed man waved his hand. The Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth gathered instantly, rapidly condensing into an eight-hundred-meter Spiritual Qi Giant Palm. It descended upon Su Han like a small mountain, aiming to crush the ignorant brat into the ground.

The brocade-robed man was confident in his strength, but in the next instant, his expression changed.

BOOM!

Su Han’s punch shot forward. The Golden Fist Radiance blazed like a sun spanning the heavens, shattering space wherever it passed. Nothing could stand in its way.

The Golden Fist Radiance soon collided with the Spiritual Qi Giant Palm. Before the brocade-robed man’s stunned eyes, the hundred-meter Spiritual Qi Giant Palm shattered as easily as tofu. Yet the Golden Fist Radiance remained intact, continuing its relentless onslaught.

The brocade-robed man immediately knew something was wrong—this youth was definitely not in the Physique Realm! But by then, the Golden Fist Radiance was already upon him. He had no time to draw his weapon or even open his Domain. He could only cross his arms in a desperate attempt to block the blow.

BANG!

The brocade-robed man had greatly overestimated himself. The punch shattered his arm bones, and the unstoppable power flung him backward. He crashed through more than a dozen large trees and toppled a small hill before being completely buried in a pile of rubble.

Li Mingliang was dumbfounded. "This..." Although he knew Su Han was strong, having seen him effortlessly slay the Fire Crow Sect Master and his two companions, he never imagined he was *this* powerful. The brocade-robed man was an expert at the Third Layer of the Supreme Realm, yet he was gravely injured by a single punch. This was simply inconceivable!

"Not good, retreat!"

Seeing this, the expressions of the four remaining Heavenly King Realm Martial Artists changed drastically. They knew Su Han was not to be trifled with and didn’t dare to linger. They hastily retreated, planning to regroup with their leader once he was free and attack together. Unfortunately for them, Su Han had no intention of giving them that chance.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Drawing his Black Blade, Su Han slashed through the air. In an instant, a thousand-meter-long Thunder Dragon Saber Aura shot out. The four Heavenly King Realm Martial Artists were powerless to resist. They were cut down by the single slash, their bodies collapsing into four cold corpses.

It all happened too quickly. Li Mingliang was still reeling from the shock, unable to process it.

Meanwhile, Su Han’s figure flickered. Employing the Character Technique of Motion, he reached a terrifying, supersonic speed and instantly appeared where the brocade-robed man had landed.

"Domain!"

The brocade-robed man had just begun to pull himself free when he saw Su Han bearing down on him, blade in hand. His face paled dramatically. He frantically activated his Domain and tried to use Teleportation to escape the deadly slash.

"Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!"

Su Han unleashed the Divine Method. The brocade-robed man’s body instantly stiffened, immobilizing him on the spot and preventing him from using Teleportation to escape.

This man was merely an ordinary Supreme Realm Martial Artist without a single Holy Artifact; he was no match for Su Han.

SQUELCH!

With an icy gaze, Su Han’s blade fell. A single swing decapitated the man, killing him on the spot.

From the appearance of the five men to their complete annihilation, less than a minute had passed. It had all happened so fast that Li Mingliang’s jaw hung open, completely agape.

"We need to leave, now!" Su Han shouted. But just as he spoke, his expression changed. An intense wave of Holy Might suddenly descended upon them
