Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 588: Absolute Crush

HISS!

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir’s features twisted as cold sweat streamed down his face, and he writhed in agony. His right hand had been severed, the cut as smooth as a mirror. Blood spurted from the wound, rapidly staining the ground red.

"Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Ghost Thread Corpse Sewing!"

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir quickly condensed his Physique and executed his Divine Power Technique. Incredibly, his severed right hand flew back as threads of Ghost Qi began stitching it back on. His right hand was restored, though the wound now bore a ferocious, stitched scar. This was the Five Ghosts Saint Heir’s Divine Skill, an extremely powerful ability that allowed him to use threads of Ghost Qi to sew his body back together. As long as a single breath remained in him, he could fully recover.

"Reincarnation Path Mirror!"

Just as the Five Ghosts Saint Heir was reattaching his hand, Su Han seized the opportunity to strike. The Reincarnation Path Mirror descended upon the Saint Heir’s head, pulling him directly into the mirror’s space.

All around was pitch black, save for a single Duel Arena beneath their feet.

The Reincarnation Path Mirror was an Intermediate Grade Holy Artifact. Neither offensive nor defensive, it was a support-type artifact whose sole function was to pull an enemy into its mirror world for a one-on-one fight.

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir hailed from the Five Ghosts Demon Cult and surely possessed Holy Artifacts and Saint Treasures. Su Han did not want to give him a chance to use them, which was why he had pulled him into the mirror’s space. Here, Su Han could utilize Holy Artifacts, but the Five Ghosts Saint Heir was suppressed and unable to use any treasure surpassing his own Realm.

"Who on earth are you to possess two Holy Artifacts?!"

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir sensed the unique properties of the mirror space. He tried to escape but found himself unable to break free; it seemed the only way out was to kill Su Han. He stared coldly at Su Han, his eyes filled with shock and puzzlement. Initially, he had thought Su Han was just a somewhat clever Demon Cultivator, but now he realized how gravely mistaken he had been. The person before him was no minor character.

Holy Artifacts were precious. Even he only possessed one or two at most, and most prodigies had none at all. Yet, Su Han had two. This was no simple matter.

Could he be an undercover agent sent by some great power to infiltrate the Zi Mansion Holy Son’s circle? But while the Zi Mansion Holy Son is no ordinary figure, what about him is worth the attention of other great powers? Besides, Su Han brought two Holy Artifacts, and his strength is no less than the Zi Mansion Holy Son’s. That shouldn’t be possible!

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir racked his brains but could not guess Su Han’s identity or purpose. However, he knew one thing for certain.

I’ve picked a fight with the wrong person this time. This man’s strength is certainly no less than my own. Now that I’m trapped in this space, the only way out is to kill him.

"You talk too much!" Su Han’s voice was cold as he reached out and grasped the Black Blade.

CRACK!

Demonic Patterns lit up, and the Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame and Soul Devouring Demon Mist twined around the blade. The hilt emitted the power of time, and with the bolstering might of Yin Yang Thunder, the Black Blade was unstoppable.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Su Han showed no mercy, unleashing a direct slash. The Thunder Dragon Saber Aura emanated a terrifying, destructive aura as it charged toward the Five Ghosts Saint Heir.

"A third Holy Artifact!"

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir was taken aback, now even more baffled by Su Han’s origins. When he tried to use his own Holy Artifact, he found he could not control it at all.

"Myriad Ghosts Gourd!"

The special energy of the Reincarnation Holy Mirror only allowed the Five Ghosts Saint Heir to use Dao Artifacts. He took out a pitch-black gourd and pulled out the stopper. Immediately, a stream of Fierce Ghosts flew from within.

These Fierce Ghosts had all been collected by the Five Ghosts Saint Heir. In life, each one had suffered immensely and was filled with towering resentment. As thousands now flew out, they formed a massive, swarming black cloud that roared and pounced toward Su Han.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The Thunder Dragon Saber Aura clashed with the Fierce Ghosts, unexpectedly producing the sound of metal on metal. Unfortunately for them, the ghosts could not run rampant under the might of the Thunderbolt. The saber aura slashed through the sky, cutting down one after another.

However, a few slipped through the net and reached Su Han. With chilling Ghost Claws and resentment that touched the heavens, they lunged straight for him.

Su Han looked up and threw a simple punch. Without even using the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, he easily blew the Fierce Ghost apart. With his Great Accomplished Holy Body, his Physical Body was unrivaled; mere Fierce Ghosts could not even get close.

"A Great Accomplished Holy Body!"

Although Su Han had not activated his Energy Physique, the well-traveled Five Ghosts Saint Heir quickly discerned Su Han’s Special Physique.

I’m going mad! Who is this person? Not only is he powerful and in possession of three Holy Artifacts, but now he’s revealed a Great Accomplished Holy Body! This level of strength is enough to crush me, unless I use my life-preserving Saint Treasure. But because of this Reincarnation Holy Mirror, I can’t control it at all! Where did this prodigy even come from? To be this strong and still play possum... does he want anyone else to live?!

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Su Han clenched his left fist and executed the Martial Technique, intending to swiftly defeat the Five Ghosts Saint Heir.

Brilliant golden light burst from his fist, rendering it a golden sun. The Golden Emperor Phantom emerged, towering and majestic, exuding a potent Imperial Might as if it ruled over all the world’s gold. The golden Qi-Blood roared. Boosted by a power of ten billion catties and amplified by the Great Luo Golden Body and the Character Secret, this punch had enough power to shatter a thousand-zhang mountain.

BOOM!

The Golden Fist Radiance streaked across the sky like a roaming golden sun, causing space to vibrate and overpowering everything in its path.

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir’s scalp tingled as an unprecedented sense of crisis washed over him. He felt like an ant beneath Tai Mount, about to be effortlessly crushed by this single punch.

"Fierce Ghost Domain!"

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir quickly expanded his domain. Within it, Ghost Qi surged and Fierce Ghosts howled, forming a mighty army that could push through anything.

"Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Black Hell Demon Finger!"

The Five Ghosts Saint Heir struck again, circulating all the Ghost Qi in his body to condense a hundred-meter-long finger before him. The finger was pitch-black and seemed solid, covered in mysterious patterns. It emanated a chilling, ghostly air, like a finger from Yama capable of extinguishing all life.

"Second Divine Power: Hundred Ghosts Night Walk!"

Simultaneously, the Five Ghosts Saint Heir utilized his second Divine Skill. Over a hundred ghostly shadows appeared, surrounding him and creating a thick, protective layer. He employed three techniques in quick succession, desperately trying to withstand Su Han’s punch.

However, Su Han had already opened his Devouring Demonic Domain. It collided with the Five Ghosts Saint Heir’s Fierce Ghost Domain, causing space to vibrate and fracture. The terrifying Devouring Power even began to swallow and refine the Fierce Ghosts one by one. Meanwhile, the Golden Fist Radiance swept across the sky, striking the Black Hell Demon Finger like a comet hitting the Earth.

Gold and black light erupted, followed by a terrifying wave of energy. Although the Black Hell Demon Finger was strong, Su Han’s power was superior. The Golden Fist Radiance pressed down, shattering the finger inch by inch before striking the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk.

BANG!

The Hundred Ghosts Night Walk held for only a moment before the Golden Fist Radiance blasted it apart. The radiance then landed on the Five Ghosts Saint Heir, mangling half of his body.

This time, the Five Ghosts Saint Heir was utterly defeated.
