Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Instant Kill of a Third-Order Demon Beast

After Su Han left, the dark clouds in the void grew denser.

With the transformation, this time it wasn’t a palm that appeared but a giant face.

It was said to be a human face, but one couldn’t make out the features clearly; only a vague shape could be discerned.

“My breakthrough, a sacrifice of ten thousand years, if there’s another time, I will surely kill him.”

The deep voice of a giant boomed from the mouth of that human face and after it fell, the dark clouds swiftly dissipated.

Meanwhile, on the stone platform, the Dark Blood Angels and the Light Seraphs had reverted to their original forms, almost like puppets. They continued to fill the figure on the platform with Blood Qi.

And that figure lay there calmly, seemingly unchanged through the ages.

Nobody saw that, after the voice of that face ceased, the woman’s eyelashes gently fluttered.

…

As for Su Han, after stepping through the Teleportation Gate, he returned to the cave once more.

But as soon as he appeared here, the Teleportation Formation suddenly turned into a burst of green light, slowly shrinking, and finally, condensing into a figure.

This figure, identical to the one lying on the platform.

“Qingyao…”

Su Han froze. He reached out his hand, trying to grasp Liuu Qingyao.

Liuu Qingyao also extended her hand. Her exquisite face bore a smile, which seemed to reflect satisfaction, yet also regret and sighs.

Their palms touched, but Su Han only felt a chill, lacking the warmth of the past.

“What exactly happened to you…” Su Han murmured.

The figure just calmly looked at Su Han, its green light becoming fainter and fainter, until at last, it disappeared completely.

Su Han stood there transfixed, watching the woman’s figure vanish, a deep sorrow welling up inside him.

In his memory, it was ten thousand years ago that Liuu Qingyao lay in a black coffin, leaving Su Han forever.

But Su Han had always carried the black coffin, and he had protected Liuu Qingyao’s body with peerless ice jade to prevent it from decaying.

Yet in the midst of his cultivation, he succumbed to demonic possession, leading to the destruction of both body and soul.

Now reborn, he had not brought any of that past with him.

Su Han had never imagined that Liuu Qingyao’s body would be taken away by others and placed on that stone platform for a sacrifice!

After standing for a long time, Su Han took a deep breath and slowly walked out of the cave.

At this moment, people like Pang Qing were standing outside the cave, anxiously waiting.

Especially Su Yunming, as Su Han was his son; if not for Hu Feng and the others holding him back, he felt an impulse to charge in.

“He’s out, Young Master is out!” Just then, Yue Dong suddenly shouted.

Everyone hastily looked, only to see Su Han’s figure slowly walking out from inside the cave.

“Young Master, how did it go? Did you find anything? Wasn’t there any peerless divine item inside?” Lian Yuze asked with some expectation.

“Nothing special.”

Su Han shook his head and then headed off towards the distance.

“What’s wrong with Young Master Han? Why does he seem off?” the group exchanged looks.

“Roar!”

At that moment, a loud roar suddenly rang out.

With the roar’s end, a massive figure suddenly charged towards Su Han from a distance, its speed incredibly fast.

The figure’s body spanned about four meters, covered in spikes all over. If struck by it, not to mention the force of the impact, the spikes alone could impale and kill a person.

“Young Master Han, be careful!”

“It’s a Third-Order Demon Rhinoceros!”

The faces of Hu Feng and the others turned pale as they hurriedly called out a warning.

Su Yunming’s figure flashed as he rushed towards Su Han, intending to take the hit for him.

But before he could reach him, Su Han suddenly looked up, a terrifying killing intent erupting from him.

In that instant, Su Han drew his sword, slashed down, and then sheathed it again.

His movements were fluid, as if he had practiced them millions of times.

After finishing, Su Han didn’t even look back as he turned and walked away.

“Hiss!”

Only now did the sound of tearing come from the body of the Giant Thorn Demon Rhinoceros that was charging in their direction.

The expressions on the faces of Hu Feng and the others changed drastically as they saw the colossal body of the Demon Rhinoceros being split in two from its head down to its tail.

“Hiss!!!”

Witnessing this scene, everyone’s eyes widened as they gasped in shock.

They hadn’t even seen how the Giant Thorn Demon Rhinoceros had died; they only saw Su Han draw his sword and sheath it, and then the Demon Rhinoceros, ten meters away, was split in half.

Until its death, the Giant Thorn Demon Rhinoceros continued its charge, clearly oblivious to Su Han’s attack.

“How… how is this possible? He’s too strong!”

“That’s a Third-Order Demon Beast, equivalent to the human Dragon Spirit Realm. Even we need to go all out to kill one, but Young Master did it so effortlessly…”

“How strong must Young Master be? He is still only in the Dragon Vein Realm!”

All of them stared at Su Han’s retreating figure, too shocked to speak.

They were acutely aware that Su Han’s attack used neither Dragon Technique nor any magic; that drawing and sheathing of the sword was merely the simplest of basic attacks.

And yet it was this simple attack that instantly killed a Giant Thorn Demon Rhinoceros known for its defense…

What they didn’t know was that before entering the Teleportation Formation, perhaps with the strength of his Eighty-Eight Dragon Veins, Su Han wouldn’t have been able to do this.

Even if he could kill the Giant Thorn Demon Rhinoceros, instant killing it was out of the question unless he used magic or secret techniques.

However, in the second world, the green light surrounding Liu Qingyao enveloped Su Han, pushing his Dragon Veins to the extremity of a hundred and eight!

If Su Han were to open these Dragon Veins on his own, let alone a hundred or more, just progressing beyond eighty-nine would have been extremely difficult, requiring a vast amount of resources. If converted into Gold Coins, opening one Dragon Vein would likely need at least ten million Gold Coins.

And as the number increased, the required Gold Coins grew exponentially. By the time one reached a hundred Veins, to open just one more could cost up to a hundred million Gold Coins.

But the green light from the stone platform, or rather Liu Qingyao’s green light, assisted Su Han.

The effort and the payoff were naturally proportional.

The more Dragon Veins one opened later on, the more money it required, but likewise, the later Veins were that much more powerful!

With Su Han’s current strength, not to mention just a Giant Thorn Demon Rhinoceros, even the pinnacle Flame Giant Tiger among the Third-Order Demon Beasts could be instantly killed by him.

At this moment, Su Han’s meridians were all opened, and as he walked, there was always an inconspicuous vortex above his head.

The vortex wasn’t large, but it was constantly devouring the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, which then surged into Su Han’s body.
