Chapter 896: Five-Second Slaughter Saint

"The activation of the Bagua Deceptive Heaven Formation takes at least three seconds, while the speed of the You Mau Great Saint means he can catch up in at most ten seconds. If he uses a secret technique, the speed might be even faster, so I must end the battle within five seconds!"

Su Han’s mind was operating at high speed, calculating his timing to strike.

The opportunity is singular and very brief. Success must be ensured, or else he will find himself in a perilous situation.

Five seconds is what Su Han considers the safest interval. With each second over, his danger increases by a fraction. If it extends over seven seconds, the You Mau Great Saint will surely catch up, and there will be absolutely no chance then.

But the Xun Gua Saint is a Saint Realm Ninth Layer expert, and it’s as hard as ascending to heaven for Su Han to kill him, let alone within five seconds, which is sheer fantasy.

Yet Su Han did not lose heart nor give up but instead prepared for a final strike.

"In my possession are three Great Emperor’s treasures: Black Demonic Flame, Imperial Blood, and the Indestructible Emperor Talisman."

To slay the Xun Gua Saint, other means would hardly be effective; only the Great Emperor’s Treasure gives hope.

"The Black Demonic Flame comes from the Dugu Imperial Son and has the capability to burn the physical body and soul. The destructive power is strong, but it can’t instantly kill."

"The Indestructible Emperor Talisman does have a chance for an instant kill, but as an Emperor Seal, it requires some time to activate, and time is the one thing I lack."

"Imperial Blood, this is the Great Emperor’s treasure of the Meng Po Empress, derived from a Great Emperor’s heart blood, hidden within the heart. It can not only kill instantly but also without any resistance."

Based on the properties of the three Great Emperor’s treasures, Su Han ultimately decided to use the Imperial Blood.

In the heart, the Imperial Blood emitted a strange light, like a vampire capable of draining all the blood from a person, incredibly terrifying.

However, this drop of Imperial Blood was not activated, and its Great Emperor cannot control it remotely outside of the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, otherwise, Su Han would simply not be able to control this drop of Imperial Blood.

Within five seconds, Imperial Blood to Slaughter Saint!

Su Han made his decision internally, immediately his figure flickered, employing the Character Technique of Motion and the Earth Escape Technique, disappearing from his original location.

"Two thousand four hundred meters to the southeast!"

The Xun Gua Saint again provided the latest location of Su Han to the You Mau Great Saint, the distance between the two grew ever closer, with You Mau Great Saint silently chasing, determined to get him.

Yet at this moment, Su Han deliberately chose this position to create an opportunity for himself.

At this moment beside the Xun Gua Saint, the numbers were actually not many. Besides the Flame Calamity Saint and the Pan Wu Saint, there were only two ordinary saints, while others formed a siege circle to block Su Han.

"About to succeed!"

Seeing the siege circle constrict, Su Han was already unable to escape, everyone was gladdened, their hearts brimming with anticipation.

But at this point, the Xun Gua Saint’s heart palpitated again, more violently than before.

"No, there’s definitely a danger unknown to me!"

The Xun Gua Saint dared not be negligent, once again employing the Bagua Deduction Technique, trying to deduce the source of danger. Yet just as he was about to commence deduction, formation patterns suddenly lit up from the ground.

"Formation patterns? Not good!"

Seeing the formation patterns at first glance, the Xun Gua Saint’s previous apprehension turned into a sense of crisis; he knew danger had already arrived.

The Flame Calamity Saint and the Pan Wu Saint quickly reacted, trying to close in on the Xun Gua Saint, preventing any surprise attack.

Yet at this moment, formation patterns lit up, rapidly interwoven, enveloping this area of heaven and earth.

In the shocked gaze of the Xun Gua Saint, the nearby Flame Calamity Saint and Pan Wu Saint suddenly vanished, and the surrounding light distorted as if situated in an independent space.

"My Bagua Deduction Technique has failed!"

The Bagua Compass in the Xun Gua Saint’s hand dimmed, a situation unprecedentedly happening, causing the Xun Gua Saint’s heart to startle.

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, a figure appeared in the Xun Gua Saint’s eyes.

It was a young man dressed in black robes, wearing a mask with a Ghostly Face Mask that seemed to cry and laugh simultaneously. His whole body radiated Demonic Might, like a young Demonic Emperor, fear-inspiring.

The Black Demon, he had appeared, and instead of sending reinforcements, he personally made a move.

But how did he manage it?

The Xun Gua Saint couldn’t imagine that during the chase, Su Han would still have the mindset to deploy a Holy Formation, with no one noticing until now when the Holy Formation was activated.

Su Han stared at the Xun Gua Saint, his eyes were devoid of joy or sorrow, merely cold indifference.

The first second has passed, leaving only four seconds for him.

"Imperial Blood!"

Su Han circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, activating the drop of Imperial Blood nurtured in the heart. Instantly, an eerie blood light emerged from the heart, evil Imperial Might surfaced momentarily.

"Great Emperor’s Treasure!"

The Xun Gua Saint immediately realized where his sense of crisis originated from. The Black Demon indeed poses no threat to him, but the Great Emperor’s Treasure does. It is on par with a strike from a Great Emperor, even a Great Saint Expert finds it hard to defend against.

Activating the Imperial Blood cost another second; the Imperial Blood then shot out from Su Han’s heart the next moment. In an instant, blood light illuminated the heavens, painting the surroundings in a blood-red world.

This drop of Imperial Blood, like a meteor, rushed towards the Xun Gua Saint. A sinister and fierce bat shadow emerged, Imperial Might oppressive as prison, confining space-time, leaving the Xun Gua Saint no option but to confront it directly.

Though the Xun Gua Saint possessed a Great Emperor’s Treasure, there wasn’t enough time to activate it. Facing the rapidly approaching Imperial Blood, he unleashed enormous potential.

"Bagua Defenses!"

The Xun Gua Saint activated the Bagua Compass in his hand, while his whole body exuded Holy Might, integrating Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense into a Bagua Light Pattern, cast in front of him like a gigantic shield.

"As long as I survive, others can arrive; I must hold this!"

The Xun Gua Saint was acutely aware of Su Han’s intention this time. Even severely wounded, as long as he isn’t instantly killed, he stands a chance of survival.

Between life and death, the Xun Gua Saint was desperate. The Bagua Light Pattern shone brighter than ever, resembling a brilliant sun, dazzling.

Third second, Imperial Blood approached, striking the Bagua Compass.

This Bagua Compass is a Superior Grade Holy Artifact, capable of deducing and wielding offensive and defensive attributes. Yet at this moment, it couldn’t withstand the Imperial Blood, directly penetrating, showing a small aperture.

Imperial Blood continued its momentum, striking the Bagua Light Pattern. Instantly, blood light brightened the sky, fiercely colliding with the pattern.

However, this drop of Imperial Blood is heart blood of a Great Emperor Realm expert, overwhelmingly powerful. Although the Xun Gua Saint’s fully exerted Bagua Light Pattern couldn’t withstand it, directly shattering, dispersing into the ether.

Fourth second, this drop of Imperial Blood landed on the Xun Gua Saint. Instantly, Imperial Might burst forth, his blood rapidly dwindled, turning him into a dried corpse within moments, void of a single drop of blood.

Fifth second, Imperial Blood exploded, eradicating the Xun Gua Saint’s physical body and soul together.

Bang!

A deafening blast, the Xun Gua Saint fell!
