Chapter 536: Suppression by One Against Three

~8 min read 1,575 words

The voice was not as alluring as its owner's figure; it was calm and indifferent, laced with a faint threat.

Xiao Han paused his steps as he was about to leave. Noticing the restrained yet ready aura of the Succubus Race Demon Emperor, he sighed helplessly in his heart, while appearing terrified on the surface:

"I wonder what instructions the Demon Emperor has?"

"That is a truly interesting thing to say."

The Succubus Race Demon Emperor covered his mouth and chuckled, his voice melodious and moving.

"A powerhouse who hides his cultivation to enter my Six Desires Pavilion actually asks me, the owner, what instructions I have?"

In fact, from the moment Xiao Han first entered the Six Desires Pavilion, the Succubus Race Demon Emperor performing on stage had already noticed the unusual nature of this strange visitor.

If it were merely a case of an unfamiliar face, that would be understandable; as the largest city on this continent, Three Emperors City saw an endless stream of people coming and going, and the Six Desires Pavilion, being the most magnificent building and signature establishment of Three Emperors City, would naturally never lack guests drawn by its reputation.

There was only one point: when his spiritual sense swept over the position where Xiao Han had just been, he could only feel a void. The Succubus Race itself was known for the strength of its spiritual power, and as a Demon Emperor, his spiritual power was the greatest in Three Emperors City; even if a powerhouse at the level of a Heavenly Demon Emperor hid their cultivation, he would still be able to detect clues.

This person before him...

The method of hiding cultivation is not simple!

Xiao Han did not yet know that the reason he had been discovered was that the Great Hidden Divine Art was too powerful, and his cultivation was hidden too thoroughly.

He only knew one thing: he would likely not be able to leave the city peacefully this time.

Sure enough, not long after the Succubus Race Demon Emperor exposed him, a Demon Emperor with arms transformed into blades appeared at the entrance of the Six Desires Pavilion, his aura sharp and his killing intent chilling.

Not only that, Xiao Han's expression remained unchanged. He curled his hand into a claw and suddenly grabbed at the empty space beside him. A thin, small figure holding a dagger was dragged out by the wrist, an unconcealable look of surprise on the opponent's face.

In just an instant, Xiao Han sensed the wrist he was holding become slippery, escaping his control.

"Failed?"

The Blade Demon Clan Demon Emperor blocking the door mocked:

"Sha Qi, it seems the assassination arts you usually boast about being enough to assassinate a Mysterious Demon Emperor are just a hollow reputation!"

The Shadow Demon Race Demon Emperor named Sha Qi was in a foul mood, but he did not argue, instead opening his mouth to warn:

"Blade-wielder, this mark is too tough, be careful."

"Jiang Dao, this time it will have to depend on you."

The Succubus Race Demon Emperor chuckled incessantly, his gaze landing on Xiao Han, though the chill in his eyes had almost frozen over.

"Chimei, you've really found us a big job this time!"

Banter was banter, but Jiang Dao trusted Sha Qi's strength. Precisely because of this, Jiang Dao had already raised his alert level to the maximum for Xiao Han, who had easily dragged Sha Qi out from the shadows.

The three Demon Emperors of Three Emperors City had similar strength but different abilities: Chimei used Illusion Technique to restrain, Sha Qi provided support and sneak attacks from the shadows, and Jiang Dao was responsible for frontal assault and cover. The combination of the three was enough to contend with a Mysterious Demon Emperor powerhouse.

But this one today, it seems...

He is not easy to provoke!

The Demon Emperor trio realized Xiao Han was not easy to provoke, and the latter was also troubled by the difficulty of escaping.

If this were on the battlefield between the two races in the Da Qian World, a mere three Ghost Demon Emperors would be nothing more than something Xiao Han could wipe out with a flip of his hand, given his Array Spirit Dual Immortal Grade status. But it just so happened that this was the territory of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. Once he unleashed his Spirit Power and exposed his tracks, letting the Evil Clan know that a Da Qian World powerhouse had appeared on their turf, they would certainly raise their vigilance significantly. It would not be easy to do any small maneuvers while the Evil Clan's defenses were relaxed in the future.

Xiao Han was thinking of a way to escape safely until the Demon Emperor trio unleashed a combo.

Xiao Han, deep in thought, suddenly saw a blur before his eyes. Over a hundred figures of Jiang Dao, radiating the aura of a Demon Emperor, rushed toward him. Xiao Han reacted quickly, decisively sweeping his spiritual power in all directions.

Boom!

The other ninety-nine figures shattered, and the true form of Jiang Dao was revealed.

Found you!

Xiao Han's body pressed forward rapidly. Jiang Dao only felt his eyes blur; Xiao Han, who had been five steps away, appeared unexpectedly before him. He could even clearly feel the unmasked killing intent of the other party.

Bang!

Caught off guard, Jiang Dao could only watch helplessly as Xiao Han's seemingly light and soft fist imprinted itself onto his abdomen. In just a split second, Jiang Dao's expression changed drastically. He spat out blood and flew backward, snapping a thick pillar, collapsing a wall, and crashing into the courtyard behind the street, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Just at this moment, the figure of Sha Qi appeared behind Xiao Han, holding a short dagger, a sinister and cruel smile hanging on his lips as he stabbed toward Xiao Han's back. He was confident that as long as this dagger successfully pierced the opponent's body, the eruption of Demonic Qi would cause even a powerhouse at the Mysterious Demon Emperor level to suffer heavy injuries and lose their combat ability on the spot.

Xiao Han, having just knocked Jiang Dao away, was still maintaining his punching posture. With his back wide open, he was struck by Sha Qi's dagger.

Success!

Sha Qi's eyes lit up, but the next instant he was horrified to discover that the figure pierced by the dagger was covered in cracks, and then, it shattered into a void.

"Get down!"

Chimei's slightly anxious voice reached Sha Qi's ears. The latter did not dare to delay; their long-term cooperation had given them deep trust in each other. Ignoring the ugliness of the posture, he lay flat on the ground at the fastest speed possible. Xiao Han's fist landed just where his head had been a moment ago. Xiao Han himself looked with slight surprise at Chimei in the distance, who seemed to have been slacking off the whole time.

Something seemed to pass through the air. Xiao Han's gaze narrowed slightly, and his vast spiritual power surged out, condensing into a long needle and shooting toward a certain direction.

Pfft.

There was no earth-shattering sound; to an outsider, it seemed as if someone had just casually blown a breath.

Only the four people currently fighting realized the lightning-fast collision.

A few beads of cold sweat seeped from Chimei's forehead. The spiritual collision just now had been evenly matched. The enemy had been fighting in a rush, while he had been prepared for a long time. From this, it was clear that the opponent's spiritual power strength far exceeded his own.

The key was that with Chimei's spiritual power cultivation, even an ordinary Mysterious Demon Emperor could potentially fall for his tricks. Could this person before him have stronger spiritual power than a Mysterious Demon Emperor?

Moreover, Xiao Han had just used pure physical strength to blast Jiang Dao, who excelled in frontal combat, away. Even if the distance was not far, it was still shocking enough!

With spiritual and physical strength already reaching this point, could his Demonic Qi cultivation possibly be any worse?

Was such an enemy, who suppressed them in every aspect, truly someone the three of them could contend with?

Chimei held a pessimistic attitude.

Sha Qi, who had left the battlefield early while Xiao Han and Chimei were clashing, also had lingering fears. If it weren't for Chimei's warning and that perfectly timed spiritual needle, he would have likely followed in Jiang Dao's footsteps nine times out of ten. No, with a physical body strength far inferior to Jiang Dao's, his outcome would definitely have been even more miserable.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A light cough came from the ruins. The unlucky fellow Jiang Dao, who had been kicked out of the battle circle as soon as it started, finally crawled out, bringing good news to Chimei and Sha Qi, and leaving Xiao Han—who had been preparing to show off a little to start negotiations so everyone could part on good terms—feeling helpless.

Jiang Dao's arms shifted for a moment, the two blades transforming into thick arms, with two broad curved blades attached to the sides of his arms. He said a line that sounded slightly "chuunibyou" to Xiao Han's ears,

"Your speed is indeed fast enough, but this Imperial can be faster."
