136: Chapter 136 It's over!

However, suppressed by the great array and facing three Cardinals of the same level simultaneously, he instantly fell into a position of absolute disadvantage!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of intense collisions resounded throughout the Dark Web Underground City.

Huo Zhenshan was forced into a steady retreat, and soon, several wounds deep enough to see bone appeared on his body!

"Die!"

The leading Cardinal seized a flaw in Huo Zhenshan's defense.

A blood-colored giant blade, tens of meters long, condensed in his hand. Carrying the terrifying power to tear through space, it slashed fiercely toward Huo Zhenshan's head!

This strike was unavoidable!

Huo Zhenshan's pupils shrank, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that I am destined to meet my end here today?!"

Just at this critical moment!

"Thunder Shadow Starlight Step."

A calm voice rang out abruptly beside Huo Zhenshan's ear.

The next second.

A black afterimage appeared out of thin air in front of Huo Zhenshan, as if teleporting!

There were no flashy movements.

The person simply raised his right hand casually.

A dark red spear, with a phantom of a grey-black giant dragon coiling around it, instantly condensed into form!

Soul-Forging Spear Intent!

With an upward thrust, he struck violently!

"Clang—!!!"

The deafening sound of metal clashing seemed as if it would tear one's eardrums!

That blood-colored giant blade, which was enough to split Huo Zhenshan in two, the moment it touched the sharp edge of the spear tip, collided as if against an immovable primordial mountain and shattered directly into countless specks of blood-colored light!

The Cardinal was shaken back hundreds of meters by this terrifying recoil force, his palms split open, and blood sprayed wildly!

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

Huo Zhenshan stared blankly at the black figure standing in front of him.

His brain instantly froze.

This figure... this Spear Intent...

"Su Yuan?!"

Huo Zhenshan exclaimed in shock.

Su Yu turned his head. On that cold, stern face disguised by the Myriad Phenomena Concealment Art, there was no expression at all.

"Elder Huo." Su Yu nodded slightly, acknowledging him.

Huo Zhenshan was dumbfounded.

He widened his eyes and pointed at Su Yu.

"Why are you here too?!"

"Wait?!"

Huo Zhenshan suddenly realized and glanced at the Heaven-grade No. 1 private room that Su Yu had just walked out of.

"That demon core... was it you who put it up for auction?!"

"You sold the demon core?!"

Su Yu nodded as if it were a matter of course.

"It wasn't of any use, so I exchanged it for some cash to spend."

Huo Zhenshan felt his vision go dark, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Not of any use?!"

"That is a demon saint-level demon core that would make even a Martial Emperor envious!"

"You call that not of any use?!"

But now, clearly, was not the time to dwell on this.

Huo Zhenshan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and the urge to retort in his heart.

He stared intently at the three Cardinals who were regrouping opposite them, his expression extremely grave.

"Su Yuan!"

"These scumbags came prepared!"

"Let's join forces and kill them here in the shortest time possible!"

"Otherwise, once the great array is fully activated, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Su Yu didn't speak, merely tightening his grip on the spear in his hand.

However.

Before the two of them could make a move.

"Crack!"

The void in the center of the great array suddenly shattered like a mirror!

An abyss pressure, ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the three Cardinals combined, poured down instantly like a breached black ocean!

Three terrifying demonic shadows, hundreds of feet tall, forced their way out from the space crack!

Three great demon saints!

Their true forms have descended!

And above the heads of those three demon saints, a massive palm, entirely condensed from pure darkness and blotting out the sky, was slowly reaching out from the crack!

A fatal strike empowered by a Demon Emperor!

It arrived with a boom!

At this moment.

Time in the entire Dark Web Underground City seemed to have stopped.

The pressure of destruction made the souls of everyone present tremble!

Six saint-level combatants!

Plus a Demon Emperor's strike from across planes!

The situation had completely spiraled out of control!

"It's over..."

Huo Zhenshan watched that sky-covering black hand, his face turning instantly pale as paper.

Despair.

Unprecedented despair.

He never expected that the Abyss Cult would have prepared so many contingencies just to kill an Su Yuan!

This was no longer just a dangerous situation.

This was certain death!

Su Yu looked up at the Demon Emperor's hand slowly descending.

In his deep eyes, there was not only no fear.

Instead, a stunning fighting spirit flickered!

"A Demon Emperor's strike?"

"Perfect."

"I'll use it to test just how domineering the Great Wilderness Star-Fall Dharma Aspect is, now that I've deduced it to perfection!"

Inside Su Yu, the one hundred million points of Dark Gold Divine Blood began to boil crazily!

He was just preparing to draw his spear and explode with full power.

Just at this moment!

A broad, rough hand, stained with warm blood, slammed onto Su Yu's shoulder!

Huo Zhenshan yanked Su Yu behind him!

"Get back!"

Huo Zhenshan's eyes were blood-red, and like a wild lion forced into a desperate situation, he roared angrily at Su Yu!

"You, a Martial Spirit, what are you trying to show off for?!"

"Do you really think that just because you killed one severely wounded demon saint, you're invincible?!"

"That is a Demon Emperor's strike! Touch it and you die!"

Huo Zhenshan gritted his teeth tightly, his entire body's ten billion points of blood energy beginning to burn frantically without regard for the consequences!

His hair instantly turned snow-white, and his vitality was rapidly fading!

"Listen!"

"I will cover the rear!"

"Use your concealment technique immediately, do everything you can, and get out of here alive!"

Huo Zhenshan grabbed the demon core he had auctioned earlier, along with his own storage ring, and shoved them crudely into Su Yu's hand.

His eyes were filled with a tragic sense of martyrdom.

"You are the future of the human race!"

"You are only eighteen, you have the potential of a Martial Emperor!"

"As long as you live, the Great Xia Kingdom still has hope!"

"Go quickly!!!"

Accompanied by a roar that shattered the firmament, Huo Zhenshan didn't give Su Yu any chance to explain.

He burned all his life essence, transforming into a meteor of extreme brilliance.

Facing the world-destroying Demon Emperor's hand, he charged up without fear of death!

"Boom—!!!!!"

A terrifying explosion, impossible to describe in words, detonated in mid-air!

The blinding light caused everyone to temporarily lose their vision.

However.

The gap in strength was, after all, an insurmountable chasm.

Even though Huo Zhenshan burned all his vitality, in front of that fatal strike empowered by the Demon Emperor, he was still as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

One second!

He didn't even hold on for one second!

"Crack!"

Huo Zhenshan's indestructible Martial Saint body instantly let out a dense sound of bones cracking.

His sternum collapsed over a large area!

He sprayed a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, and his whole body, like a kite with broken strings, was blasted away at ten times the speed he had charged up with!

He smashed heavily into the ruins, creating a bottomless crater!

Martial Saint Huo Zhenshan was crippled!

And that Demon Emperor's hand, after defeating Huo Zhenshan, although it had dimmed significantly, it still carried a terrifying shockwave capable of obliterating any Martial Venerate, smashing down toward the location where Su Yu stood!

"Su Yuan!!!"

Lying in the ruins, unable to move even a single finger, Huo Zhenshan let out a shrill, desperate roar.

"It's over!"

"This strike is too monstrous!"

"Even though I had blocked most of the power, the remaining shockwave is definitely not something a Martial Spirit could withstand!"

"The peerless prodigy of the human race."

"Was he destined to fall here after all?!"

Huo Zhenshan closed his eyes in pain, two lines of murky blood tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.

However.

The scene of Su Yu being blasted into a blood mist, which he had expected, did not appear.

"Boom!"

The violent shockwave smashed fiercely onto Su Yu's body!

Dust rose everywhere!

But.

When the dust settled.

Su Yu was still standing quietly in place.

He hadn't even changed the posture of holding his spear in the slightest.

That terrifying shockwave, capable of obliterating a Martial Venerate, hadn't even managed to stir the hem of his black trench coat!
