Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 818 - 817: To Kill or Not to Kill?

Countless discussions and uproars erupted at this moment.

Some were filled with admiration and reverence for Su Han, while others were consumed by jealousy, and some had faces darkened, their hearts brimming with even greater killing intent.

Such as Yuan Ling, Moo Qinghai, and others.

But regardless of their expressions, they could not stop Su Han from unleashing this blade.

The Sword Light spanned thirty thousand zhang, and when it manifested in the Void, it nearly enveloped even the arenas of One Slash Palace and the Demon Domain on the other side. That pitch-black starry sky entirely shrouded the two arenas.

"Annihilate!"

In a split second, Su Han’s eyes flashed, and a chilling gleam erupted.

"Boom!"

As his words fell, in the firmament above, from the infinite starry sky, a star suddenly descended.

The speed of this star was unimaginably fast. Just a moment ago, it seemed to still be at the horizon, and in the next moment, it was already in front of them.

"Boom!!!"

At the moment of its descent, this star exploded directly. An indescribably terrifying power swept across the Sect of the Battle God.

"Ahhh!"

"Save me!!"

"Su Baliu, you will die a horrible death!!!"

In that instant, out of the thousand members of the Sect of the Battle God, at least a hundred let out bloodcurdling screams, and no fewer than a hundred died outright in the star’s explosion.

However, the death of a hundred people was not the most terrifying thing; to Wu Hui and others, the most frightening part was the fact that in the firmament above, there were countless more stars like this one!

If all these stars were to fall, no matter how many people they had, they would be utterly unable to resist.

"This bastard!!!" Wu Hui roared in his heart, his rage shaking the heavens.

And at this very moment, yet another star descended from the firmament.

This time, it was not one, but two.

Especially with that thirty-thousand-zhang-long pitch-black Sword Light in the firmament above, Wu Hui and the others simply could not imagine the scene if that Sword Light came crashing down.

Seeing those two descending stars, Wu Hui gritted his teeth but still made a decisive decision, uttering, "Our Sect of the Battle God admits d—"

Before he could finish his words, Su Han’s expression turned cold, and he pointed a finger downward.

Forbidden Divine Art!

With this single point, Wu Hui, whose mouth was gaping open, was frozen in the Void, his body seemingly bound by countless ropes, unable to move an inch.

"Hmph!"

Su Han let out a cold snort, stretched his hand upward, and then made a fierce downward pull.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

With this motion, countless stars in the firmament appeared to respond to his summoning and all began hurtling toward the Sect of the Battle God.

"Su Baliu, how dare you!!!"

Seeing this scene, on the warship of the Sect of the Battle God, the Earth Ancestor of the Sect, the red-clothed child Han Yunlai, suddenly shouted, nearly unable to stop himself from making a move. The Dragon Emperor Realm aura erupted completely, with terrifying Dragon Power surging from his body.

When they saw him like this, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knew that if those stars really fell, the thousand people of the Sect of the Battle God would undoubtedly all perish!

If Su Han could hold back, at the very least, he would leave some people from the Sect of the Battle God alive. Even if the Sect couldn’t make it into the top three, some of them could still enter the Holy Domain of the Demon Immortal.

Undoubtedly, those who represented the Sect of the Battle God in this Sect Competition were the most talented individuals within the Sect. If they truly died, it would be a catastrophic loss for the Sect of the Battle God.

Moreover, with everything happening before such a vast audience, if they were utterly annihilated, the Sect of the Battle God, as a Super Sect, would suffer disgrace irreparable.

"If you dare kill them, I swear by the Edge of Heaven and Earth, I shall hunt you down!!!" Han Yunlai bellowed once more.

However, it seemed as though Su Han didn’t hear him at all.

His expression remained cold, without sparing Han Yunlai a single glance, as the stars from the firmament, accompanied by deafening roars, surged down toward the members of the Sect of the Battle God.

"I..."

From the Sect of the Battle God, an elder attempted to speak, but Su Han once again pointed a finger, using the Forbidden Divine Art to silence him as well.

Those two words, "admit defeat," were words Su Han simply refused to allow the Sect of the Battle God to speak!

As Su Han acted a second time, the people of the Sect of the Battle God finally understood. One by one, people tried to speak, but they were silenced in succession by Su Han’s Forbidden Divine Art.

However, the Sect of the Battle God had too many people. Su Han could not silence nearly nine hundred remaining individuals simultaneously. In the end, someone still managed to shout out the words, "We admit defeat!"

At this moment, the countless stars were already hovering above the Sect of the Battle God.

The surviving members of the Sect of the Battle God looked utterly hopeless, their faces filled with despair. Their terror was unmatched, and cold sweat had drenched their clothing.

Though the words of surrender had now been spoken, the stars remained poised above their heads. As long as Su Han refused to stop, even Dragon Emperor Realm experts arriving in person couldn’t halt their descent in time.

If Su Han truly wanted to kill them, even now, he absolutely could!

The struggle between the thoughts of whether to kill or not to kill raged a thousandfold in Su Han’s mind at this moment.

The audience that had been watching from the outside held their breaths, not daring even to exhale too loudly, all waiting to see how Su Han would choose.

After a moment, Su Han finally sighed, swung his hand, and the countless stars reversed their trajectory, returning to the firmament.

The cracks in the Void quickly healed as well, and the thirty-thousand-zhang-long towering Sword Light rapidly shrank, transforming into black mist and returning to the Ultimate Night of the Divine Blade.

In the end, Su Han still didn’t kill them.

It was not because he didn’t want to, but because the Sect of the Battle God had already admitted defeat. Everyone present had heard it clearly. If he still chose to kill them, there was no doubt that the Sect of the Battle God would mobilize its entire power against him and the Phoenix Sect.

Furthermore, Super Sects like the Jade Void Palace or Giant Island would also take the opportunity to accuse the Phoenix Sect of violating the rules of the Sect Competition, leaving no room for survival.

Though backed by the One Slash Palace and the mysterious Xuanyuan Clan, Su Han had offended far too many forces, and he couldn’t be sure whether the One Slash Palace could really protect the Phoenix Sect. Nor could he confirm the truth behind Xuanyuan Qiong’s words.

Thus, he dared not take this risk.

If it was just himself, it wouldn’t matter. But as for the Phoenix Sect, Su Han would never allow his impulse to bring disaster upon them.

Seeing that Su Han had withdrawn, the people of the Sect of the Battle God finally let out a sigh of relief. Their legs trembled uncontrollably, nearly giving out beneath them.

The murmurs of the outside world rose again at this moment.

"In the end, he still didn’t dare make a move..."

"What a joke. If he had struck, that would’ve been a blatant violation of the Sect Competition’s rules—seeking death!"

"But this Su Baliu is truly terrifying. I honestly doubt if there’s anyone under the Dragon Emperor Realm who can rival him."

"One slash shatters the arena’s Light Barrier; one word decides the fate of a thousand lives. To reach such heights, there’s no regret in this life!"

"It was the right decision. Otherwise, not even the One Slash Palace could save him."
