Chapter 137 Demon Emperor's End
At this moment, it was the season of continuous rain in the South. Not far away, the Nanjiang Tianguan was ablaze. The Righteous Army of a Hundred Families had launched a fire attack, causing the river water to boil and countless forests to burn. The surging water vapor rose, stirring up the clouds above Nantianjing and even the vicinity of the Divine Tree, transforming them into churning rain clouds accompanied by thunder.

A silver kite with copper wire soared from the branches of the banyan tree, eventually drawn into Su Zhou's hand by lightning and wrapped around his spear.

The Hundred Families had made thorough preparations before launching their attack.

Su Zhou's suggestions were naturally among them.

"Thank you, Brother Buyi," he whispered to his unseen comrade, then looked at the Demon Emperor, who was limping towards the Tian Tan jade pillar, struggling to retrieve the Miedu Blade.

The Miedu Blade was located at an extremely high position, deeply embedded. Even at his peak, the Demon Emperor couldn't have pulled it out quickly. Now, with his body half-destroyed, he had only managed to climb halfway in such a long time.

*Rumble!* The silver kite, high in the clouds, swayed in the misty lightning!

Then, lightning struck!

"Demon Emperor!"

In that instant, Su Zhou roared, leaping high into the air, standing in mid-air with the aid of the wind!

Without another word, Su Zhou threw the spirit iron spear in his hand, controlling the spear with his qi and the lightning with the spear! Accompanied by a crack of thunder, the Yujiwu Shenlei True Technique was activated. Cyan-blue lightning gathered from the surrounding rain clouds, striking the kite and concentrating on the spear!

In an instant, the entire spear was filled with cyan-blue lightning!

Dazzling brilliance condensed, the cyan-blue light as bright as the sea!

"How can you, who fears pain, bear immortality?"

"Compared to the National Teacher, you are too weak!"

Using the last of his strength to control the nearly melted spear, Su Zhou roared and threw it out like a thunder god hurling a thunder spear!

*Boom!* Enhanced by the violent electric current, the thunder spear surpassed the speed of sound. Before the explosion even sounded, it had crossed the vast distance, pierced through the wooden tendrils attempting to block it, and directly struck the Demon Emperor, who was climbing the jade pillar!

*Crack!* The violent electric current instantly coursed through the Demon Emperor's entire body. Although most of the current flowed into the burning jade pillar, even the remaining bit caused the Demon Emperor to scream shrilly, burning out its vocal cords!

The half-melted spirit iron spear pierced the Demon Emperor's body, firmly pinning it to the jade pillar, the demonic poison spreading, rendering it unable to move.

After throwing the spear, Su Zhou fell directly from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, only able to hear his own heavy breathing. But soon, he forced himself to stand again, then walked step by step, silently towards the Demon Emperor.

"No, don't come near me! Ahhhhh!"

At this moment, the Demon Emperor could still regenerate. It roared, trying to use the pressure of the Son of Heaven dragon qi, the innate Martial Saint, and the Panlong body to suppress Su Zhou… but it was of no use.

Even, when Su Zhou raised his head, gazing at it with his remaining vertical pupil flashing cyan-purple spiritual light, and his left eye socket, which was writhing with regenerating flesh, the Demon Emperor itself felt a shudder from the marrow of its bones, a heartfelt tremor.

This tremor hadn't existed before. When it was at its peak, this fear was as laughable as an illusion. But now, the Demon Emperor felt a premonition of a natural enemy, spreading from the depths of its bloodline…

"Daring not to fight me head-on, but thinking of taking shortcuts…"

At this moment, Su Zhou, walking step by step, ascending the three-tiered altar, repeated his words once more: "Unable to endure pain, how can you bear immortality?"

He raised his hand, lightning flashing, and the lightning-struck wood hilt of the Miedu Blade shone with arcs of electricity. After struggling for a while, it fell into his hand with the blade—if this had been before, such an act of summoning the divine blade would have been a huge flaw, but now, facing the Demon Emperor pinned to the jade pillar and unable to move, no matter how big the flaw, it couldn't take advantage of it.

"Stop!"

Seeing Su Zhou approaching him with a grimace and a raised blade, the fear and panic in the Demon Emperor's heart grew even stronger. It struggled desperately, but its weakened body could only tremble slightly.

"Get outta here!"

Su Zhou didn't hesitate, directly slashing at its foot—instantly, the wound was burned to carbon, and the Demon Emperor also screamed: "Ahhh! I'll teach you the method of immortality!"

"You understand immortality? Have you ever been immortal? Have you ever seen anyone else immortal?"

Su Zhou scoffed: "You know nothing about immortality!" With that, he raised his blade again and slashed vertically, severing the Demon Emperor's hands!

"I am the Undying Divine Tree's…" The Demon Emperor's reason began to crumble at this moment. It began to speak incoherently, not knowing whether it was threatening or begging, but Su Zhou never listened to such words from enemies.

"You say you're immortal, how many years have you lived before you started saying you're immortal? My grandpa is eighty years old, healthy and rosy-cheeked, why doesn't he say he's immortal, but you dare to fart here?"

Su Zhou sneered, then raised his blade again, cutting the Demon Emperor in half at the waist—but at this moment, the Demon Emperor's eyes widened in fury, and countless wooden tendrils surged from its wounds, lunging towards Su Zhou's face!

The previous wailing and chaos were merely a facade. It had finally seized this last chance…

But it was useless.

Because Su Zhou was also constantly vigilant against the Demon Emperor's counterattack. Facing these lunging tendrils, he directly opened his mouth and bit down, chewing and swallowing them as if they were dried radish!

"Heh, it really is Panlong bloodline, this flesh and blood is very nourishing."

His snow-white teeth grinding, making eye contact with the Demon Emperor, Su Zhou revealed a sinister smile, even deliberately showing the Demon Emperor the scene of himself chewing the wooden tendrils, with the woody sap dripping from his teeth, his own body being eaten by him: "How is it? Non-human monster, does it feel good to be eaten?"

"Monster, monster! You madman, monster!"

Only then did the Demon Emperor truly collapse and erupt. It completely saw that Su Zhou at this moment simply wanted to torture it, to completely break it down!

"Wow, who am I? I'm a monster? You know that again? I'm clearly human—is it strange for a human to eat dried radish?" Su Zhou maliciously mocked the Demon Emperor, the black divine blade's edge gleaming with light.

"You're human? You're clearly a dragon!" At this moment, the collapsed Demon Emperor became inexplicably strange: "You're a dragon, that's right, you're a dragon! You're not human at all, why?! Why are you fighting alongside a group of humans against me?!"

It roared with the last of its strength: "I just want to be immortal! Most people in this world would do the same thing I did if they had the chance! You're clearly not human, why do you have to help them! We can rule across the river… yes, everything north of the Nanjiang belongs to you, I…"

"I'm not even from this world."

*Puchi.* Su Zhou slammed a headbutt into its face, shattering the Demon Emperor's nose and rendering it unable to speak.

He pulled back his head, letting the blood drip from his forehead, Su Zhou exhaled. He said calmly, "Perhaps it's true that most people in this world would do the same thing you did—human madness, I myself am an example, succumbing to temptation and unleashing the dark side of my heart, I understand it very well."

"But what does that have to do with me? Judge the actions, not the intentions. You committed evil, and I am the retribution! Not human, not from this world, can't I manage this matter? That reason of yours might convince others, but it can't convince me, who loves to meddle in other people's business."

"I am, and always will be, the opponent standing before you oppressors! Strange why? It should be strange! I want to violently assault you with laughter, just like you violently assault others with laughter!"

"Ah!"

The Demon Emperor still wanted to roar something, seemingly wanting to insult Su Zhou's inexplicable thinking, but at this moment, Su Zhou had already swung the Miedu Blade with a wild laugh, directly stabbing it into its mouth, igniting its tongue and gums: "What are you screaming about, didn't you say you weren't human, an eternally immortal Panlong bloodline?"

Then, Su Zhou took out a small box of white phosphorus from his waist… this was the white phosphorus he had originally wanted to use to start a fire in another world, but now it seemed that it was of no use at all, there was no need for this thing to start a fire.

But now, it had a better place to go.

"Look at this, good stuff."

Revealing a cruel smile, Su Zhou poured the white phosphorus into the Demon Emperor's eye sockets and mouth, then activated the thunder technique, igniting it with an electric current: "Try it, then tell me loudly, tell me 'I want to be immortal' ah?!"

"Ah ah, ah ah ah ah!"

*Whoosh,* the white phosphorus ignited, and in an instant, the Demon Emperor's head turned into a torch, beginning to burn fiercely, while Su Zhou silently activated his Devouring Demon Fire, scorching the other party's spiritual soul with cyan-purple flames—at first, it could still scream and wail, but afterwards, as its entire wooden head turned to ashes, leaving only jade bones, and its spiritual soul was riddled with holes, the Demon Emperor's body stopped trembling and writhing, but ceased functioning.

Only a single dragon horn fell to the ground.

The dark green evil soul gradually floated before the monster hunter.

"No matter how immortal a monster is, it will still die."

Stepping back, Su Zhou said softly, then wearily closed his eyes.

For a moment, his body swayed, his exhausted and aching body not even having the strength to pull the blade from the Demon Emperor's skull.

The Demon Emperor had been beheaded—the Demon Dynasty had been destroyed. Su Zhou had originally thought that when this moment arrived, he would be overjoyed, cheer, and excitedly raise a flag—these were all fantasies that a chuuni youth had once had. He believed that he was the special one, that killing evil and eliminating demons was his innate duty, otherwise, why would he be given innate abilities and be born into a family of constables?

But now, Su Zhou understood that while he was indeed special, the individual with power, loving order and goodness wasn't unique to him, but there were countless others who fought, sacrificed, and devoted their lives to it—and accomplishing all of this didn't require any talent, only a steadfast heart.

"I think that I will continuously kill evil people, until the end of evil—can I really persist?"

Gazing at the Demon Emperor's corpse, Su Zhou asked himself, then he laughed: "Without a doubt, of course I can. The National Teacher and you, will be the first and second."

"Even the Righteous Army of a Hundred Families could continue their resistance for nearly a hundred years in such circumstances, so why can't I?"

Reaching out his hand, grabbing the Demon Emperor's dark green evil soul, Su Zhou sent it into his mouth, eating it without hesitation.

He chewed hard, experiencing the extremely stimulating and spicy taste of the mustard solution.

After finishing eating, Su Zhou again silently raised the Miedu Blade, the lava-like divine blade flashing with a dazzling light, and the Demon Emperor's half-destroyed skull was beheaded.

Afterwards, step by step, he came to the edge of the heavenly palace. Su Zhou stood on the top floor of the heavenly palace, lightning rumbling, cyan-blue electricity exploding and flashing around the entire heavenly palace.

And Su Zhou, surrounded by this thunder, raised the Demon Emperor's skull high, and with a voice unprecedented and enough to shake the heavens and the earth, he announced to the burning New Nantianjing, to the burning Nanjiang Tianguan, to the burning world!

"The Demon Emperor—has been beheaded!"

"The Demon Dynasty—has been destroyed!"

"We—have reopened peace!"

—In the first year of the New Calendar, in the New Nantianjing, in the first month of winter, the Kunlun eccentric Su Zhou fought the Demon Emperor alone with a divine blade in the Yongning Heavenly Palace atop the Undying Tree, fighting fiercely for a long time.

The eccentric summoned thunder with secret techniques to strike the Demon Emperor, and heaven punished him, and then he split his four limbs with the divine blade and beheaded him to show him.

The Demon Emperor was beheaded, and the Demon Dynasty was destroyed.

The world, is at peace.
