Chapter 139: The fate of the original demons
“Eh, I have a buttload of things to do right now. I’m afraid I don’t have time to spend with you.” Han Shuo thought for a moment and then responded to Lisa.
With regards to Lisa, Han Shuo had rather disliked her in the beginning, but with his later interactions with her, he realized that Lisa wasn’t a vile person. She was just a bit too naive. Particularly towards the end of their interactions, Lisa had protected him in many ways. This made it difficult for Han Shuo to maintain his heart of revenge towards her like he had before.
However, as much as he didn’t dislike Lisa, he still didn’t have any feelings from her. Therefore, when Lisa made her suggestion, Han Shuo could only fob her off with a careless excuse.
When Han Shuo spoke thus, Lisa remained silent for a bit and then nodded. “Alright, I’ll return home tomorrow. I hope you’ll be stronger the next time we meet.”
Lisa was noticeably distracted when she said this, and she smiled after her words concluded. She walked back to the girls’ dormitory alone, her back shaking slightly as she did so.
Shaking his head and sighing lightly, Han Shuo only returned to his room when he saw Lisa disappear into the distance.
When he arrived in front of the dorm, Han Shuo had just pushed open the door when a longsword came stabbing towards his chest. His face changed drastically, and he tried to back out of the doorway without even thinking about it.
However, the sword’s movement was like lightning, as it’d already arrived at Han Shuo’s chest after the cold light had flashed. Han Shuo’s rapidly retreating body tilted sideways as he quickly fell to the side.
Pfft, the longsword stabbed deeply into Han Shuo’s body through the ribs, injuring him in that instant. The ambusher then quickly retracted the longsword with ease.
Because of the sound isolation effect, although there’d been an extremely harrowing fight in Han Shuo’s dorm and the hallway, it hadn’t wakened any of the other students. Han Shuo’s heart still pounded in fright as he looked at the shattered door and walked in silently.
The three painstakingly refined original demons had been destroyed by the fighting aura within Clark’s body due to the need to contain him. However, it’d been because of the effect of the three original demons that saved Han Shuo’s life. Although the three had been destroyed, Clark’s body had also been injured because his essence had been eaten away by the original demons. He’d have to rest for the immediate future and it’d be tough to prepare a second attack.
“It’s alright, the new will replace the old. It looks like I can begin refining an even higher level of the yin demons. When I make it to the true demon stage and bring forth the elite wood zombie and yin demons, it’ll be your death sentence then Clark.” Han Shuo murmured to himself.
The next day, morning.
Lawrence came looking for Han Shuo according to their agreement, and the two sat down in Han Shuo’s room.
“Clark came by last night, I was almost unable to see you again.” The door was still shattered and there were noticeable traces of a fight around it. Han Shuo didn’t hide anything and spoke frankly to Lawrence.
Giving a start of shock, Lawrence was astonished, “So soon?”
Nodding, Han Shuo said again. “Yes, I didn’t think that would happen either. However, Clark’s body has also been injured and I don’t think he’ll make another attempt any time soon. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
“You, you harmed Clark?” Lawrence looked at Han Shuo with disbelief as he asked in shock.
“Yes, but if you think that means my strength is greater than Clark’s, you’d be dead wrong. I harmed him through a fluke, and if it wasn’t for me evading in time, I would’ve definitely been killed by him. This person is really difficult to shake off.” Han Shuo’s face was grave as he spoke lowly.
Even without Han Shuo’s reminder, Lawrence knew of how thorny Clark was, given his greater familiarity with the latter. Although Han Shuo didn’t speak of how the battle unfolded last night, Lawrence could tell from his expressions that it must’ve been very heated indeed. No matter what methods he’d used, that Han Shuo could injure Clark meant that Han Shuo wasn’t a simple man either. Thus, when he heard Han Shuo’s words, Lawrence’s opinion of Han Shuo raised another few notches.
“With my understanding of Clark, it will be difficult for us to find him now that he’s injured. He must’ve returned to a safe place to rest and recover. Our plan to kill him can only be delayed.” Lawrence thought briefly and spoke slowly.
“Alright, I happen to have to take care of some matters as well. Let’s end matters here for today and I’ll come find you after another ten days. We’ll chat then.”
Lawrence also nodded in agreement after Han Shuo spoke, then looked at him deeply before taking his leave. Han Shuo also proceeded cautiously to the mountains in the back, planning on starting the earth elite zombie first in the cemetery of death and then finishing the matter with the forest trolls.
