Chapter 890: Slaying the Great Saint

"Who is that, daring to enter the mountain zone? Are they courting death?"

As Su Han rushed out, he immediately drew everyone’s attention.

At this moment, the mountain area had completely transformed into a Life Forbidden Zone, with terrifying energy like boiling water, so any creature entering would be smashed to bits, and not even an Earth Great Saint could survive. Entering now is seeking suicide.

Of course, some clever-minded individuals sought to take advantage of the situation, hoping for lucky finds, but they needed to wait for the energy to calm down; otherwise, it was merely courting death.

Su Han naturally disregarded others’ thoughts, executing the Character Technique of Motion, bursting out at twice the speed of sound, directly charging into the mountain zone.

This realm had completely fractured, with every inch of space imbued with terrifying energy capable of killing saints.

After all, this was energy transformed from the explosion of the Great Emperor’s ghost fire and the Underworld Jiao Dragon, enough to render this entire realm into nihilism.

However, Su Han possessed a semi-perfect Sacred Body, along with the Absolute Defense; even such terrifying destructive energy couldn’t harm him.

"Nine Heavens Eye!"

Su Han deployed the Nine Heavens Eye, and amidst the boundless energy, discovered the figure of the Earth Great Saint, though he did not rush over immediately.

"Divine Skills: Blossoming with One Thought!"

Even a lion hunts a rabbit with all its might; Su Han didn’t intend to underestimate the situation, swiftly deploying the Divine Power Technique, conjuring a Shore Flower Clone, and then having the clone approach the Earth Great Saint while his original body hid amidst the destructive energy.

The Shore Flower Clone swiftly approached the Earth Great Saint, who was in a dire state, his entire body bloodied and not a single intact piece of skin left. His right leg had exploded into blood mist, and the rest of his limbs suffered various injuries.

The Earth Great Saint had already been gravely injured beforehand, and now struck by the explosive aftermath of the Great Emperor’s ghost fire and the Underworld Jiao Dragon, even with defensive treasures he couldn’t withstand such terrifying energy fluctuations.

At this moment, the Earth Great Saint lay in a pool of blood, barely alive, seemingly ready to breathe his last at any moment.

Su Han’s gaze immediately locked onto the Storage Ring of the Earth Great Saint, as it contained the Qilin Undying Medicine, his largest objective for this venture.

"Divine Method: One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"

Su Han drew sword-like fingers and executed the Divine Method, instantly conjuring a ten-meter-long Slaughter Sword Qi, whistling as it slashed towards the Earth Great Saint, intending to sever his last breath and ensure his complete demise.

Yet, as the Slaughter Sword Qi was about to fall onto the Earth Great Saint, he suddenly leapt from the pool of blood, and with a grasp, grabbed hold of the Dark Holy Staff, swinging it across the sky, imbued with the Power of the Earth, deflecting the Slaughter Sword Qi.

Then the surrounding space around the Earth Great Saint fluctuated violently, time power amplifying his speed to unimaginable levels, instantly appearing before Su Han.

"Daring to plot against me, go to Hell!"

The Earth Great Saint had already known an enemy was hiding in the shadows, thus he feigned weakness to lure the foe out. Now, he gathered the remaining energy within his body into the dark holy staff and swung it, sweeping across the realm.

"Heaven Rank Intermediate Martial Technique: Heaven Shaking Strike!"

The Dark Holy Staff was incomparably heavy, like an ancient mountain range, heavier than Prince Nangong’s holy staff. Additionally, the Earth Great Saint activated his Hou Tu Sacred Body, drawing the Power of the Earth, and gathered all energy into this strike, its power unimaginable.

Boom!

The rampant energy was blasted apart by this strike, split in two, like a sword parting the sea, tremendously oppressive.

This strike was too powerful; Su Han couldn’t possibly resist, as his strongest defenses shattered like paper, layer by layer. The Dark Holy Staff then struck Su Han directly, splitting his body in two.

Bam!

Su Han’s body exploded but contained no flesh or blood, only a cascade of petals wilting.

"Clone!"

The Earth Great Saint, experienced and knowledgeable, instantly realized he didn’t strike the true body but a clone.

Such clone techniques are exceedingly rare and difficult to cultivate, though not unheard of. However, this full-force strike obliterated only a clone, causing the Earth Great Saint’s heart to sink, while his sense of crisis surged.

He had waited long and prepared meticulously to lure out the hidden enemy for a fatal strike, then flee far away.

Because his injuries were truly severe: after battling the Buddha Great Saint and others, then gravely wounded by the Underworld Jiao Dragon, and further harmed by the explosion of the Great Emperor’s ghost fire and Underworld Jiao Dragon. That strike was his last ounce of strength.

Now having only destroyed a clone but lost his remaining combat power, the difference in gain and loss pushed him into desperation.

"Escape!"

The Qilin Undying Medicine was already in hand, and being gravely wounded, not escaping meant risking demise here, losing both life and resources.

As for vengeance, it mattered not now, the urgent priority was escaping. Once he consumed the Qilin Undying Medicine and achieved Path Enlightenment to become an Emperor, all of today will surely be repaid.

With this thought, the Earth Great Saint hesitated no more, intending to escape underground.

"Tian Luo Net Earthly Trap Formation, bind!"

Just then, a detached voice echoed in the Earth Great Saint’s ears, and he noticed familiar formation patterns lighting up around him, interweaving into a Tian Luo Net.

This Tian Luo Net was much smaller than before but was sufficient to bind a gravely injured Earth Great Saint.

"How is this possible, wasn’t the Tian Luo Net Earthly Trap Formation destroyed?"

The Earth Great Saint’s eyes exposed shock, unable to believe his eyes, yet this small Tian Luo Net Earthly Trap Formation was Su Han’s prepared countermeasure for this moment.

Shwoosh!

Simultaneously, Su Han’s original body appeared, now wearing a Ghostly Face Mask, wielding the Soul Severing Sword and Black Blade, emanating overwhelming Demonic Qi, dark and domineering, akin to a young Devil Emperor.

"Who are you?"

The Earth Great Saint fixed his unwavering gaze on Su Han, recognizing him as the hidden enemy, and this was indeed the original body, yet the Ghostly Face Mask obscured Su Han’s identity. Nevertheless, he understood his own dire fate.

"The one who’ll kill you!"

Su Han coldly replied, then simultaneously unleashed One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells and Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, sword and saber light flaring, slashing towards the Earth Great Saint.

With the Ghostly Face Mask on, Su Han currently possessed the strength of Saint Realm Fifth Layer, whereas the Earth Great Saint’s severe injuries left him barely one-tenth his full strength, utterly inadequate against Su Han.

"Even if I die, I won’t hand the Qilin Undying Medicine to you!"

The Earth Great Saint resolved himself to destroy the Storage Ring, yet Su Han’s speed was faster, using the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method to restrain him for a second.

Shwoosh!

Blade light flashed, sword radiance pierced the sky, the Earth Great Saint’s body froze; his Sacred Body was cleaved in two by the Black Blade, his brow pierced by the Soul Severing Sword.

One of the Ten Great Shadow Marshals, the Earth Great Saint, met his demise!
