Chapter 455: Demon Emperor Duan Ren, Fallen!

Those black figures were not products condensed from the Demonic Qi of Demon Emperor Duan Ren, but the corpses of many living beings from the Da Qian World. Although those corpses were launching fierce attacks, their expressions varied—fear, anger, shrinking away, and most of all, despair.

"I never imagined that the Blade Demon Clan, being one of the Sanshier Dazhu, would actually employ the techniques of the Shimo Clan."

In Xiao Han's understanding, the vast majority of the Outer Realm Evil Clan only viewed the living beings of the Da Qian World as blood-food to be devoured; only the Shimo Clan would commit the shameful act of toying with corpses.

Xiao Han's mockery did not cause the slightest impact on Demon Emperor Duan Ren; instead, he revealed a gratified smile.

"They are nothing more than the dregs of the Da Qian World, what is there to be concerned about."

"That..."

Xiao Han's tone was calm, cold light surging wildly in his eyes, and a blinding radiance lit up his palms.

"Dregs of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, are you prepared to die?"

"You..."

Demon Emperor Duan Ren keenly sensed Xiao Han's abnormality, but he was too late to react, and could only watch helplessly as Xiao Han clenched his right palm.

"Nails of the Cold Heaven, descend!"

Xiao Han's voice, filled with anger, resounded through the heavens and earth; at that instant, the firmament trembled.

"This is..."

Demon Emperor Duan Ren looked in horror at the thousands of streams of light falling from the firmament. With his sharp eye, he saw the true form of the streams of light: they were pillars that reached the heavens.

"Boom!"

The heaven-reaching pillars descended into every corner of Blade Demon City. The thunderous roar even caused many nearby Blade Demon Clan members to go temporarily deaf, their ears ringing incessantly.

"You did this on purpose!"

Demon Emperor Duan Ren's eyes widened, staring in astonishment at Xiao Han's indifferent face.

At this moment, he had discovered that the positions of these giant ice pillars were exactly the spots where Xiao Han had stopped while maneuvering under the siege of the great army.

Xiao Han did not answer.

This was not the end...

Under the pitch-black night sky, the light from thousands of heaven-reaching pillars illuminated the dark city as bright as day. Countless snow-white threads shot out from the pillars; these threads seemed to have eyes, precisely seeking out the panicked Evil Clan members all around.

Those Evil Clan members instinctively repelled the approaching threads, each using their own methods, wanting to destroy these thin, glowing white threads.

However, they discovered a terrifying fact: the threads penetrated all attacks and gently wrapped around their bodies, and one by one, snow-white cocoons slowly appeared within the city.

In the distance, the Ice Emperor, who was clearing out the small fry before him with a relaxed face, also raised his head to look into the city through a crack in the city wall. He also saw this shocking scene and muttered to himself,

"My god!"

He knew that Xiao Han might not need his assistance for that battle.

"What have you done?"

Demon Emperor Duan Ren looked at the expressionless Xiao Han with some panic. He had already discovered Xiao Han's eerie method: the power of all the clansmen wrapped in the threads was rapidly draining away, and that flowing power was continuously pouring into the giant pillars inserted throughout the city.

Due to absorbing too much Evil Clan power, the white giant pillars even gradually revealed traces of black patterns.

"What have I done?"

Demon Emperor Duan Ren looked in horror into a pair of golden pupils.

"I have merely done what I ought to do."

"I wonder if Your Excellency has ever experienced the feeling of being crushed by your own power."

Xiao Han's figure suddenly vanished, then appeared in the center of the numerous heaven-reaching pillars, his head of black hair turning into silver strands.

At the same time, Xiao Han's aura was also rapidly expanding. Countless Spirit Seals merged into the space, and a grand formation encompassing the entire Blade Demon City slowly unfolded above the city. The brilliant blue light was so cold and profound.

Xiao Han's right hand was raised high, and endless black Demonic Qi poured from the giant pillars into the sky, where a black spear tens of thousands of feet long slowly took shape.

"No!"

Xiao Han's aura grew increasingly powerful; that killing intent would cause those with weak minds to collapse on the spot.

Demon Emperor Duan Ren knew he could not give the person before him any more time to prepare. His Demonic Qi surged violently, and a pitch-black demonic shadow tens of thousands of feet tall gradually solidified behind Demon Emperor Duan Ren.

Following Demon Emperor Duan Ren's movements, the demonic statue behind him also raised its arm, and a ten-thousand-foot black demonic blade condensed. The moment it appeared, it swallowed all the killing aura of the surrounding battlefield.

"Today, I shall let you die under my clan's Heavenly Demon Blade."

"Heavenly Demon Blade, One Blade Severs the Mountain!"

As the words fell, the long blade slashed down toward Xiao Han from afar. Wherever it passed, the space was directly torn open, leaving a long, narrow crack hanging naked in the sky.

Just as the long blade raided toward Xiao Han, the black spear also finished condensing. A pale blue phantom, likewise tens of thousands of feet tall, emerged behind Xiao Han. The figure grabbed the spear, and the black light at the spear tip was filled with an ominous and violent aura.

"Spear Settles, No Mountain!"

When this sentence was shouted, Xiao Han's cheeks visibly paled by a fraction.

The long spear swept out, and the spear blade collided with the blade edge in the void.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion erupted at the center of the collision. The demonic statue and the icy blue giant shadow were both sent flying backward, directly smashing through dozens of towering buildings in the city, and in the process, even affecting many lucky ones who had just managed to avoid being chosen by the giant pillars.

However, Demon Emperor Duan Ren could no longer care about so-called collateral damage. He only knew that if he could not slay Xiao Han here, even if it meant mutual destruction, there was absolutely no possibility of escaping the assassination of the mysterious powerhouse from the outside world who might break into the city at any moment.

"Heavenly Demon Blade, One Blade Divides the Sea!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, he did not bother to wipe it away and immediately swung the second blade. Compared to the first, this blade was thinner and smaller, but its power was even more condensed.

"Spear Fixation, Dark Sun."

The icy blue giant shadow thrust the spear to meet it. The black spear tip, wrapped in heavy devouring power, brought forth a violent storm, clashing head-on with that blade capable of severing the earth.

"Bang!"

The black long spear gradually became illusory, and the blade in the hand of Demon Emperor Duan Ren's demonic statue was also covered in cracks. This strike was still a mutual injury.

However, Xiao Han and Demon Emperor Duan Ren had no intention of slowing down, instead immediately beginning a new round of battle.

"Heavenly Demon Blade, Yizhan Shuitian!"

The long blade in the demonic statue's hand directly doubled in size. Wherever it passed, the void shattered completely, and large cracks appeared in the sky, from which bone-eroding space storms seeped out.

As if drained of all energy by this blade strike, the aura of Demon Emperor Duan Ren withered significantly, his gaze drifted, and he lacked even the strength to swing his blade.

"Spear Settles, Destruction!"

The destruction caused by the Heavenly Demon Blade was extremely violent; facing such an overbearing move, Xiao Han chose an even more overbearing response.

The long spear swept directly across the vast space around him, the void collapsed, and spear shadows flickered. However, no different from Demon Emperor Duan Ren was the bloodless face of Xiao Han.

"Boom!"

A sound like a thunderclap on flat ground exploded over Blade Demon City, the rolling thunderous sound even spreading ten thousand miles away; at this moment, if those located on the Huan Continent looked up, they would be fortunate enough to see the collapsed space above Blade Demon City.

Demon Emperor Duan Ren forced his eyes open, propping up his body, unwilling to let himself fall, wanting to see through the layers of mist to discern whether Xiao Han was dead or alive.

"Cold Heaven Whip!"

However, a long whip struck unceremoniously from behind; even though Demon Emperor Duan Ren, who was already on his last legs, sensed it, he had nowhere to dodge and was instantly pierced through the chest.

"Roar!"

A mouthful of blood surged up from his throat unexpectedly and sprayed out; Demon Emperor Duan Ren looked tremblingly at the icy long whip that had passed through his chest.

"Thousand Severing Shadow Strike!"

Whip shadows flickered, and after a few breaths, the life of this once arrogant Mysterious Demon Emperor of the Blade Demon Clan came to an end, his demon body sliced into countless fragments by the Ice Imperial's long whip.

Confirming the death of Demon Emperor Duan Ren, the Ice Imperial expressionlessly glanced at the few remaining Blade Demon Clan members below and waved a hand, causing an ice-blue thunderclap to ring out in the sky.

"Attack!"

A thousand miles away from Blade Demon City, earth-shaking shouts of battle resounded through the sky, and a dense crowd of people emerged on the boundless plain, surrounding Blade Demon City with murderous intent.
